Item 1. Business
General
Joy Global Inc. (the "Company," "we" and "us") is a leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of metals and minerals. We manufacture and market original equipment and parts and perform services for both underground and surface mining, as well as certain industrial applications. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals and ores. We operate in two business segments: Underground Mining Machinery ("Underground") and Surface Mining Equipment ("Surface"). We are a major manufacturer of underground mining machinery for the extraction and haulage of coal and other bedded minerals. We are also a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction and haulage of copper, coal and other minerals and ores. We offer comprehensive direct service, which includes our smart service offerings, near major mining regions worldwide and provide extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in mining. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, and internationally, including facilities in Australia, Canada, China, France, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Service sales, which include revenues from maintenance and repair services, diagnostic analysis, fabrication, mining equipment and electric motor rebuilds, equipment erection services, training and sales of replacement parts, account for 74%, 69% and 55% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Sales of original equipment for the mining industry, as a class of products, accounted for 26%, 31% and 45% of our consolidated net sales for each of those years. The increased percentage of service sales is due to the deterioration of mining industry conditions during the time period.
On June 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Montabert S.A.S. ("Montabert") for approximately $121.5 million, gross of cash acquired of $7.1 million dollars. Montabert specializes in the design, production and distribution of high quality hydraulic rock breakers, pneumatic equipment, drilling attachments, drifters and related parts and tools. The acquisition of Montabert expands the Company's product and service capabilities for hard rock mining, tunneling and rock excavation, further diversifying our commodity and end market exposures. Montabert's results of operations have been included as part of the Underground segment from the date of the acquisition forward.
On May 30, 2014, we closed on the purchase of certain assets of Mining Technologies International Inc. ("MTI") for $44.4 million. MTI is a Canadian manufacturer of underground hard rock mining equipment primarily serving the North American markets and a world leading supplier of raise bore drilling consumables. We have acquired substantially all of the assets associated with MTI's hard rock drilling, loaders, dump trucks, shaft sinking and raise bore product lines. MTI's results of operations have been included as part of the Underground segment from the acquisition date forward.
Underground
We are the world’s largest producer of high productivity underground mining machinery for the extraction of coal, potash, salt, platinum and other bedded materials. We have manufacturing facilities in Australia, Canada, China, France, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as sales offices and service facilities in Botswana, India, Poland and Russia. We also maintain an extensive network of service and distribution centers to rebuild and service equipment and to sell replacement parts and consumables in support of our installed base. This network includes five service centers in the United States and eight outside the United States, all of which are strategically located in major underground mining regions.
Products and Services:
Armored face conveyors – Armored face conveyors are used in longwall mining to transport material cut by the shearer away from the longwall face.
Battery haulers – Battery haulers transport material from continuous miners to the feeder breaker and are powered by portable rechargeable batteries. Battery haulers feature a flexible center joint allowing them to maneuver in tight conditions and do not use a trailing cable, which allows for maximum flexibility in the mining process.
Continuous chain haulage systems – Continuous chain haulage systems transport material from continuous miners to main mine belts on a continuous basis. The continuous chain haulage system is made up of a series of connected bridge structures that utilize chain conveyors that transport the coal from one bridge structure to the next bridge structure and ultimately to the main mine belts.
Continuous miners – Electric crawler mounted continuous miners cut material using carbide-tipped bits on a horizontal rotating cutterhead. The continuous miner is also configured in some applications with roof bolters to place roof bolts when advancing the cut. Once cut, the material is gathered onto an internal conveyor and loaded into a haulage vehicle or continuous haulage system for transportation to the feeder breaker.
Conveyor systems – Conveyor systems are used in both underground and surface applications. The primary components of a conveyor system are the idlers, idler structure and the terminal, which itself consists of a drive, discharge, take-up and tail loading section.
Feeder breakers – Feeder breakers are used in both underground and surface applications. A feeder breaker is a form of crusher that uses a rotating drum with carbide-tipped bits to break down the size of the mined material for loading onto a conveyor system or feeding into processing facilities. Mined material is typically loaded into the feeder breaker by a shuttle car or battery hauler in underground applications and by haul trucks in surface applications.
Flexible conveyor trains ("FCT") – An FCT is an electric-powered, single operator, self-propelled conveyor system that provides continuous haulage of material from a continuous miner to the main mine belt. The FCT uses a flexible rubber belt similar to a standard fixed conveyor. The FCT operates independently from the track crawler system, allowing the FCT to move and convey material simultaneously. Available in lengths of up to 570 feet, the FCT is able to negotiate multiple 90-degree turns in an underground mine infrastructure.

Hard rock mining products - We provide a complete range of hard rock mining products including breakers, drifters, raised boring products, blast hole drilling products, buckets and lip systems, hydraulic jumbo drills, production drills, loaders, trucks, shaft sinking and blasthole products. In addition, we provide service to support this equipment.
High angle conveyors – High angle conveyors are used in both underground and surface applications. They provide a versatile method for elevating or lowering materials continuously from one level to another at extremely steep angles. One of the differentiating factors of our conveyor technology is the use of a proprietary fully equalized pressing mechanism which secures material toward the center of the belt, while sealing the belt edges together. The high angle conveyor has throughput rates ranging from 0.30 to 4,400 tons per hour.
Longwall shearers – A longwall shearer moves back and forth on an armored face conveyor parallel to the material face. Using carbide-tipped bits on cutting drums at each end, the shearer cuts 1.2 to 8.0 meters high on each pass and simultaneously loads the material onto the armored face conveyor for transport through the stageloader to the conveyor belt.
Powered roof supports – Roof supports use hydraulic cylinders to perform a jacking-like function that supports the mine roof during longwall mining. The supports self-advance with the longwall shearer and armored face conveyors, resulting in controlled caving behind the supports. A longwall face may range up to 400 meters in length.
Road headers – Crawler mounted road headers cut material using carbide-tipped bits on a boom mounted cutting head. Once cut, the material is gathered using a loading device, usually involving a conveyor.
Roof bolters – Roof bolters are drills used to bore holes in the mine roof and to insert long metal bolts into the holes to reinforce the mine roof. Roof bolters are available track mounted, wheel mounted, machine mounted or mounted to devices that operate on longwalls.
Shuttle cars – Shuttle cars, a type of rubber-tired haulage vehicle, are electric-powered using an umbilical cable. Their purpose is to transport material from continuous miners to the feeder breaker where chain conveyors in the shuttle cars unload the material. Some models of shuttle cars can carry up to 30 metric tons of mined material.
Life cycle management We offer life cycle management programs for both underground and surface applications. These programs help our customers to optimize the productivity and cost effective use of our equipment over the life of the equipment. Each life cycle management program is specifically designed for a particular customer’s application of our equipment. Under each program, we provide products and services to support the equipment during its operating life cycle. Our life cycle management arrangements include cost per ton, component exchange programs and parts contracts. Cost per ton programs allow our customers to pay fixed prices for each ton of material mined in order to match equipment costs with revenues, and our component exchange programs and parts contracts minimize production disruptions for repair or scheduled rebuilds. Customer commitments for underground life cycle management programs totaled approximately $412.2 million as of October 30, 2015.
In addition to life cycle management support, our Underground segment provides equipment assemblies, service, repairs, rebuilds, parts, consumables, enhancement kits and training to customers globally.
Project management – Our project management services provide a single point of contact for our comprehensive set of services, from contract origination to operational completion.
Smart Services – Our Smart Services support offering gathers relevant information real time and uses this information to deliver services that are preemptive and predictive, which enables our customers to maximize the productivity and value of their assets by providing better machine availability, utilization and reduced costs. The services include equipment monitoring, predictive diagnostics, service training support and parts management.
Distribution arrangements - Our personnel and distribution centers are strategically located close to customers in major mining centers around the world. We sell our products and services directly to our customers through a global network of sales and marketing personnel. Our direct customer service and support infrastructure quickly and efficiently provide customers with high-quality parts, exchange components, repairs, rebuilds, whole machine exchanges and services.
We have an exclusive distribution and authorized service provider agreement with J.H. Fletcher & Co. that gives us the right to market, sell and service all Fletcher products to coal mines, as well as hard rock and industrial mineral mines that use our cutting products. This agreement covers all locations worldwide with the exception of North America, Australia and Norway, where Fletcher directly markets, sells and services its products, and coal mines in Poland where our rights are not exclusive.
During the year, we entered into an OEM Supply Agreement and a Distribution Agreement with Doosan Holdings Europe Limited. Under the OEM Supply Agreement, there are purchasing and supply obligations for Montabert products with Doosan

5


entities in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Benelux, Europe, China, Korea and France. Under the Distribution Agreement, certain distribution rights for Montabert products were provided to Doosan entities in the United States, South Africa, the United Kingdom, India, Germany and Australia. Both agreements have a term of five years.
Surface
We are the world’s largest producer of electric mining shovels and a leading producer of blasthole drills, walking draglines and wheel loaders for open-pit mining operations. We have facilities in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Peru, South Africa and the United States, as well as sales offices in India, Mexico, Russia and the United Kingdom. Our products are used in the mining and processing of coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals and ores. We also provide logistics and a full range of life cycle management service support for our customers through a global network of strategically located service centers within major mining regions. In some markets, we also provide electric motor rebuilds and other selected products and services to the non-mining industrial segment and sell used electric mining shovels, drills, loaders and parts.
Products and Services:
Blasthole drills – Most surface mines require explosives to break or blast rock, overburden or ore. A blasthole drill creates a pattern of holes to contain the explosives. Our blasthole drills range in size from 7.875 to 17.5 inches in diameter and can exert a maximum pull down force of up to 150,000 pounds.
Conveyor systems – Conveyor systems are used in both underground and surface applications. The primary components of a conveyor system are the idlers, idler structure and the terminal, which itself consists of a drive, discharge, take-up and tail loading section.
Electric mining shovels – Mining shovels are used primarily to load copper, coal, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other mineral-bearing materials and overburden into trucks. Electric mining shovels feature large dippers, allowing them to load great volumes of material at a low operating cost. Dippers can range in size from 10 to 90 cubic yards.
Hybrid excavators - Hybrid excavators function similar to mining shovels, extracting material to load into trucks or a means for haulage. This new Surface product is a diesel/electric powered machine with a clamshell bucket that articulates through hydraulics. The hybrid excavators are used to provide increased mobility and selectivity, which are highly sought after from a mine planning perspective. This product will also leverage the wheel loaders proprietary drive system and controls, allowing the machine to capture regenerative power and lower operating costs.
Feeder breakers – Feeder breakers are used in both underground and surface applications. A feeder breaker is a form of crusher that uses a rotating drum with carbide-tipped bits to break down the size of the mined material for loading onto a conveyor system or feeding into processing facilities. Mined material is typically loaded into the feeder breaker by a shuttle car or battery hauler in underground applications and by haul trucks in surface applications.
High angle conveyors – High angle conveyors are used in both underground and surface applications. They provide a versatile method for elevating or lowering materials continuously from one level to another at extremely steep angles. One of the differentiating factors of our conveyor technology is the use of a proprietary fully equalized pressing mechanism which secures material toward the center of the belt, while gently, but effectively, sealing the belt edges together. The high angle conveyor has throughput rates ranging from 0.30 to 4,400 tons per hour.
Walking draglines – Draglines are primarily used to remove overburden in order to uncover coal or mineral deposits and then to replace the overburden as part of the reclamation activities. Our draglines are equipped with bucket sizes ranging from 30 to 160 cubic yards.
Wheel loaders – Loaders are generally used in coal, copper, gold and iron ore mines, and they utilize a proprietary diesel-electric drive system with digital controls. This proprietary system allows our equipment to stop, start and reverse direction without gear shifting or high-maintenance braking. We have five loaders with capacities up to 53 cubic yards, which are the largest in the industry, and can load rear-dump trucks in the 85 to 400 ton range.
Life cycle management – We offer life cycle management programs for both underground and surface applications. These programs help our customers to optimize the productivity and cost effective use of our equipment over the life of the equipment. Each life cycle management program is specifically designed for a particular customer’s application of our equipment. Under each program, we provide products and services to support the equipment during its operating life cycle. Our life cycle management arrangements include cost per ton, cost per hour, component exchange programs and parts contracts. Cost per ton and cost per hour programs allow our customers to pay fixed prices for each ton of material mined or each hour of machine time utilized in order to match equipment costs with revenues, and our component exchange programs and parts contracts minimize production

disruptions for repair or scheduled rebuilds. Customer commitments under surface life cycle management programs totaled approximately $756.5 million as of October 30, 2015.
In addition to life cycle management support, our Surface segment provides equipment assemblies, relocations, inspections, service, repairs, rebuilds, upgrades, used equipment, parts, consumables, enhancement kits and training to customers globally.
Project management – Our project management services provide a single point of contact for our comprehensive set of services, from contract origination to operational completion.
Smart Services – Our Smart Services support offering gathers relevant information real time and uses this information to deliver services that are preemptive and predictive, which enables our customers to maximize the productivity and value of their assets by providing better machine availability, utilization and reduced costs. The services include equipment monitoring, predictive diagnostics, service training support and parts management.
Distribution arrangements – Our personnel and distribution centers are strategically located close to customers in major mining centers around the world. We sell our products and services directly to customers through a global network of sales and marketing personnel. The Surface segment distribution organization also represents other leading providers of equipment and services to the mining and associated industries, which we refer to as “Alliance Partners."
For each Alliance Partner, we typically enter into an agreement that provides us with the right to distribute certain products from the Alliance Partner in specified geographic territories. Specific sales of new equipment are typically based on “buy and resell” arrangements or are a direct sale from the Alliance Partner to the ultimate customer with a commission paid to us. The type of sales arrangement is typically agreed at the time of the customer’s commitment to purchase. Our sales of parts produced by Alliance Partners are generally made under “buy and resell” arrangements. To support Alliance Partners’ products in certain geographic regions, we typically hold parts and components in inventory.
Cyclicality
Changes in economic conditions affecting the global mining industry can occur abruptly and unpredictably, which may have significant effects on our sales of original equipment and services. Cyclicality for original equipment sales is driven primarily by price volatility of the commodities that our equipment is used to mine, including coal, copper, iron ore and oil, or their substitutes, as well as product life cycles, competitive pressures and other economic factors affecting the mining industry, such as company consolidation and increased regulation and competition affecting demand for commodities, and the broader economy, including changes in government monetary or fiscal policies and from market expectations with respect to such policies. Falling commodity prices have in the past and may in the future lead to reduced capital expenditures by our customers, reductions in the production levels of existing mines, a contraction in the number of existing mines and the closure of less efficient mines. Reduced capital expenditures and decreased mining activity by our customers are likely to lead to a decrease in demand for new mining machinery, and may result in a decrease in demand for parts and services as our customers are likely to reduce utilization of equipment, reduce inventories, redistribute parts from closed mines and delay rebuilds during industry downturns. Conversely, rising commodity prices typically lead to the expansion of existing mines, opening of new mines or re-opening of less efficient mines. Increased mining activity typically leads to an increase in demand for new mining machinery.
Seasonality
All of our business segments are subject to moderate seasonality, with the first quarter of our fiscal year generally experiencing lower sales and profitability due to a decrease in working days caused by calendar year-end holidays.
Financial Information
Financial information about our business segments and geographic areas of operation is contained in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Item 15, Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Employees
As of October 30, 2015, we employed approximately 13,400 employees worldwide, with approximately 4,600 employed in the United States. Collective bargaining agreements or similar arrangements cover 27% of our U.S. workforce and 28% of our international employees. In 2016, union agreements are set to expire for 5% of our employees, with the largest agreements covering our Local 1114 union at our Milwaukee, Wisconsin facility and our Montabert union at our Lyon, France facility.
Customers

7


We sell our products primarily to large global and regional mining companies. During the year, we had one affiliated group of customers whose collective revenues accounted for 11% of our 2015 net sales. No other customer or affiliated group of customers accounted for 10% or more of our 2015 net sales.
Competitive Conditions
The domestic and foreign manufacturing and service operations of our Underground and Surface segments are subject to significant competitive pressures. We compete globally on the basis of product performance, customer service, support, availability, reliability, productivity, total cost of ownership and price. Most of our customers are large global mining companies that have substantial bargaining power, and most of our sales require us to participate in competitive bidding due in part to the current pressure on our customers to cut costs. We compete directly and indirectly with other manufacturers of surface and underground mining equipment and with manufacturers of parts and components for such products.
The Underground segment's products compete with similar products made by a number of established and emerging worldwide manufacturers of such equipment. Our rebuild services compete with a large number of local repair shops and also compete with various regional suppliers in the sale of replacement parts for our equipment.
The Surface segment’s shovels and draglines compete with similar products produced by two significant competitors and compete with hydraulic excavators, large rubber-tired front-end loaders and bucket wheel excavators made by several international manufacturers. Our blasthole drills compete with several worldwide drill manufacturers. As high productivity mining becomes more common internationally, especially in emerging markets, global manufacturing capability is becoming a competitive advantage. However, it is still important to have repair and rebuild capability near the customers' operations. In this regard, we compete with a large number of primarily regional suppliers in the sale of parts.
Both segments compete on the basis of providing superior productivity, reliability and service that lowers the overall cost of production for our customers. We compete with local and regional service providers in the provision of maintenance, rebuild and other services to mining equipment users.
Backlog
Backlog represents unfilled customer orders for our original equipment and service, exclusive of long-term maintenance and repair arrangements and life cycle management arrangements. Such life cycle management programs extend for up to 17 years and totaled approximately $1.2 billion as of October 30, 2015. Customer orders included in backlog represent contracts to purchase specific original equipment or services. The backlog amounts reported exclude sales already recognized by fiscal year end under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The following table provides backlog by business segment as of each of our last three fiscal year ends:

Of the $873.5 million of backlog, we expect to recognize approximately $184.5 million as revenue beyond fiscal 2016.
The decrease in backlog for Underground and Surface was driven by continued softness in the commodity markets, resulting in an orders booked to net sales ratio of less than one.
Eliminations primarily consist of the surface applications of crushing and conveying included in both operating segments.
Raw Materials
In the manufacture of our products, we use large amounts of raw materials and processed inputs, including steel, copper and engine and electronic components. We obtain raw materials and certain manufactured components from third party suppliers. To reduce material costs and inventories, we rely on supplier arrangements with preferred vendors as a source for “just in time” delivery of many raw materials and manufactured components. We continuously monitor supplier arrangements to seek to identify and address risks of supply disruptions.
Patents and Trademarks

8


We own numerous patents and trademarks and we license technology from others that we utilize in our products and manufacturing methods. We continue to develop intellectual property, and we file new patent applications to protect our ongoing research and development activities. We have also granted licenses to certain of our patents and trademarks to other manufacturers and receive royalties under most of these licenses. While we do not consider any particular patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks to be material to our business segments, we believe that in the aggregate our patents and trademarks are significant in distinguishing many of our product lines from those of our competitors.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, in connection with our annual impairment test over our indefinite-lived trademarks, a non-cash impairment charge of $10.8 million was recorded by our Underground segment. This charge is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges

Research and Development
We are strongly committed to pursuing technological development through the engineering of new products and systems, the improvement and enhancement of licensed technology and related acquisitions of technology. Research and development expenses totaled $36.2 million, $40.6 million and $49.0 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Environmental, Health and Safety Matters
Our domestic activities are regulated by federal, state and local statutes, regulations and ordinances relating to environmental protection and worker health and safety. These laws govern current operations, require remediation of environmental impacts associated with past or current operations and, under certain circumstances, provide for civil and criminal penalties and fines, as well as injunctive and remedial relief. Our foreign operations are subject to similar requirements as established by the jurisdictions in which they are located. We believe that we have substantially satisfied these diverse requirements.
Compliance with environmental laws and regulations did not have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or our competitive position in fiscal 2015. Because these requirements are complex and subject to change, there can be no guarantee against the possibility of additional costs of compliance. However, we do not expect that our future compliance with environmental laws and regulations will have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position, and we do not expect to make any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities in fiscal 2016.
Occasionally, certain of our operations or facilities have been and may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or proceedings for alleged noncompliance with either environmental or worker health and safety laws or regulations. Such matters have typically been resolved through direct negotiations with the regulatory agency and have typically resulted in corrective actions or abatement programs. However, in some cases, immaterial fines or other penalties have been paid.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our international operations are subject to many uncertainties, and a significant reduction in international sales of our products could adversely affect us.
Our international operations are subject to various economic, political and other uncertainties that could adversely affect our business. In fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, approximately 68%, 69% and 72% of our sales respectively were derived from sales outside the United States. Political and/or economic conditions in the countries and regions in which we operate may significantly affect our profitability and growth prospects. The following risks are associated with doing business internationally and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations:
regional or country specific economic downturns;
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly the Australian dollar, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chilean peso, Chinese renminbi, Euro, and South African rand;
complications in complying with a variety of foreign laws and regulations, including with respect to environmental and anti-corruption matters, which may adversely affect our operations and ability to compete effectively in certain jurisdictions or regions;
customs matters and changes in trade policy, tariff regulations or other trade restrictions;
economic or political instability or tensions, trade disputes and the introduction of economic sanctions;
terrorist attacks and international or civil conflicts that affect international trade or the mining industry, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine;
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, up to and including nationalization or expropriation by foreign governments;
higher tax rates and potentially adverse tax changes, including restrictions on repatriating offshore earnings, adverse tax withholding requirements and double taxation;
greater difficulties protecting our intellectual property;
increased risk of litigation and other disputes with customers;
fluctuations in our operating performance based on our geographic mix of sales;
longer payment cycles and greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable;
costs and difficulties in integrating, staffing and managing international operations, especially in emerging markets such as China;
transportation delays and interruptions;
natural disasters and the greater difficulty in recovering from them in some of the foreign countries in which we operate, especially in countries prone to earthquakes, such as Chile, China, India and Indonesia; and
uncertainties arising from local business practices and cultural considerations.

The foregoing risks may be particularly acute in emerging markets, where our operations are subject to greater uncertainty due to increased volatility associated with the developing nature of the economic, legal and governmental systems of these countries. If we are unable to successfully manage the risks associated with expanding our global business or to adequately manage operational fluctuations, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our business is materially impacted by cyclical economic conditions affecting the global mining industry.
Changes in economic conditions affecting the global mining industry can occur abruptly and unpredictably, which may have significant effects on our sales of original equipment and services. Cyclicality for original equipment sales is driven primarily by price volatility of the commodities that our equipment is used to mine, including coal, copper, iron ore and oil, or their substitutes, as well as product life cycles, competitive pressures and other economic factors affecting the mining industry, such as company consolidation and increased regulation and competition affecting demand for commodities, and the broader economy, including changes in government monetary or fiscal policies and from market expectations with respect to such policies. Falling commodity prices have in the past and may in the future lead to reduced capital expenditures by our customers, reductions in the production levels of existing mines, a contraction in the number of existing mines and the closure of less efficient mines. Reduced capital expenditures and decreased mining activity by our customers are likely to lead to a decrease in demand for new mining machinery, and may result in a decrease in demand for parts and services as our customers are likely to reduce utilization of equipment, reduce inventories, redistribute parts from closed mines and delay rebuilds and other maintenance during industry downturns. In addition to declining orders for our products and services, adverse economic conditions for our customers may make it more difficult for us to collect accounts receivable in a timely manner, or at all, which may adversely affect our working capital. As a result of this cyclicality in the global mining industry, we have experienced significant fluctuations in our business, results of operations and financial condition, and we expect our business to continue to be subject to these fluctuations in the future.
A large portion of our business is dependent on there being continued demand for coal, which is subject to economic and climate related risks.

10


Approximately 59% of our revenues come from our thermal and metallurgical coal-mining customers. Many of these customers supply coal for the generation of electricity and/or steel production. Demand for steel is affected by the global level of economic activity and economic growth. The pursuit of the most cost effective form of electricity generation continues to take place throughout the world and coal-fired electricity generation faces intense price competition from other fuel sources, particularly natural gas. In addition, coal combustion typically generates significant greenhouse gas emissions and governmental and private sector goals and mandates to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may increasingly affect the mix of electricity generation sources. Further developments in connection with legislation, regulations, international agreements or other limits on greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts or costs from coal combustion, both in the United States and in other countries, could diminish demand for coal as a fuel for electricity generation. If lower greenhouse gas emitting forms of electricity generation, such as nuclear, solar, natural gas or wind power, become more prevalent or cost effective, or diminished economic activity reduces demand for steel, demand for coal will decline. Reduced demand for coal would result in reduced demand for our mining equipment and services and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Environmental regulations impacting the mining industry may adversely affect demand for our products.
We supply original equipment and services to mining companies operating in major mining regions throughout the world. Our customers’ operations are subject to or affected by a wide array of regulations in the jurisdictions where they operate, including those directly impacting mining activities and those indirectly affecting their businesses, such as applicable environmental laws. In addition, new environmental legislation or administrative regulations relating to mining or affecting demand for mined materials, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2015 regulations imposing new carbon pollution standards for new, modified, and reconstructed power plants, or more stringent interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require our customers to significantly change or curtail their operations. The high cost of compliance with environmental regulations may discourage our customers from expanding existing mines or developing new mines and may also cause customers to limit or even discontinue their mining operations. As a result of these factors, demand for our mining equipment and the services we provide could be adversely affected by environmental regulations directly or indirectly impacting the mining industry. Any reduction in demand for our products and services as a result of environmental regulations is likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Demand for our products may be adversely impacted by regulations related to mine safety.
Our principal customers are surface and underground mining companies. The mining industry has encountered increased scrutiny as it relates to safety regulations, primarily due to high profile mining accidents. New legislation or regulations relating to mine safety standards and the increased cost of compliance with such standards may induce customers to discontinue or limit their mining operations and may discourage companies from developing new mines or maintaining existing mines, which in turn could diminish demand for our products and services.
We face risks from changes in government monetary policies that affect interest rates.
Most countries have established central banks to regulate monetary systems and influence economic activities, generally by adjusting interest rates. Interest rate changes affect overall economic growth, which affects demand for mined products, which in turn affects sales of our mining equipment and services. Interest rate changes also affect our customers’ ability to finance machine purchases, can change the optimal time to keep machines in a fleet and can impact the ability of our suppliers to finance the production of parts and components necessary to manufacture and support our products. 
Central banks and other policy arms of many countries take actions to vary the amount of liquidity and credit available in an economy.  Liquidity and credit policies different from those assumed in our outlooks could impact the customers and markets we serve or our suppliers, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We face risks from currency exchange rate fluctuations because our international operations are conducted in various local currencies, while our consolidated financial results are reported in U.S. dollars.
Most of our significant foreign subsidiaries use local currencies as their functional currency. Because our financial reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires that we translate the assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues of these subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at applicable exchange rates. Accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the other countries in which we conduct business, notably including the Australian dollar, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chilean peso, Chinese renminbi and South African rand, may affect the value of our assets, earnings and cash flows. In addition, currency exchange rate fluctuations may affect the comparative prices between products we sell and products our foreign competitors sell in the same market, which may adversely affect demand for our equipment. Substantial exchange rate fluctuations, particularly due to strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as the comparability of our consolidated financial statements between reporting periods. While we attempt to reduce the risks from exchange rate fluctuations by entering into

11


hedging arrangements, these arrangements may not be effective or may only delay or temporarily mitigate the adverse effect of fluctuations in exchange rates.
Our global operations are subject to extensive trade and anti-corruption laws and regulations.
Due to the international scope of our operations, we are subject to a complex system of import- and export-related laws and regulations, including U.S. regulations issued by Customs and Border Protection, the Bureau of Industry and Security, the Office of Antiboycott Compliance, the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and the Office of Foreign Assets Control, as well as the counterparts of these agencies in other countries. Any alleged or actual violations of applicable laws or regulations may subject us to government scrutiny, investigation, litigation and civil and criminal penalties, and may limit our ability to import or export our products or to provide services outside the United States. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.
In addition, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar foreign anti-corruption laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making payments or providing anything of value to improperly influence foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or obtaining an unfair advantage. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the global enforcement of anti-corruption laws. Our continued operation and expansion outside the United States, including in developing countries, could increase the risk of such violations. Violations of these laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, could disrupt our business and may result in a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and results of operations or financial condition.
We operate in a highly competitive environment, which could adversely affect our sales and pricing.
Our domestic and foreign manufacturing and service operations are subject to significant competitive pressures. We compete globally on the basis of product performance, customer service and support, availability, reliability, productivity and price. Most of our customers are large global mining companies that have substantial bargaining power, and some of our sales require us to participate in competitive bidding. We compete directly and indirectly with other manufacturers of surface and underground mining equipment and with manufacturers of parts and components for such products. Some of our competitors are larger than us and, as a result, may have broader product offerings and greater access to financial resources. Certain of our competitors also may pursue aggressive pricing or product strategies that may cause us to reduce the prices we charge for our original equipment, products and services or lose sales. These actions may lead to reduced revenues, lower margins and/or a decline in market share, any of which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may record future goodwill impairment charges or other asset impairment charges, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill and other long-lived assets, the carrying value of which may be reduced if we determine that those assets are impaired. We evaluate our finite-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We evaluate our goodwill and indefinite-lived assets for impairment annually as of the first day of our fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. Our evaluation of impairment requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions including projections of future results. After performing our evaluation for impairment, we will record an impairment loss when the carrying value of the reporting unit or underlying asset exceeds its fair value. As there were triggering events at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015, an interim impairment test was performed, which was finalized and updated in connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements. This impairment test resulted in such a conclusion and we recorded Underground impairment charges of $42.6 million, $57.9 million, $10.8 million, $1.2 billion and $6.3 million and for property, plant and equipment, customer relationships, trademarks, goodwill and other items, respectively. In addition, we recorded Surface impairment charges of $19.2 million and $2.1 million for property, plant and equipment and customer relationships, respectively. Because of the continued significance of our goodwill and other long-lived assets, any future impairment of these assets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. With the continued deterioration of the global commodities markets, the Company remains at risk for further goodwill impairments. Although we have concluded there is no impairment on the goodwill of $354.6 million associated with our Surface segment as of year end, we will continue to closely monitor in the future considering the uncertainty in the markets and the continued decline in our stock price after year end. Should there be still further market declines and/or stock price declines in future periods, there is increasing risk that Surface segment goodwill may be impaired. We will continue to update our evaluation as market conditions and the follow on impacts to our expected future performance and share price warrant.
We may acquire businesses, dispose of businesses or engage in other transactions for which we may not realize anticipated benefits, or it may take longer than expected to realize such benefits, which may adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and existing business.

12


From time to time, we may explore and pursue transaction opportunities that may complement our core businesses, and we also may consider divesting businesses or assets that we do not regard as part of our core businesses. These transaction opportunities may come in the form of acquisitions, joint ventures, investments, start-ups, divestitures or other structures. There are risks associated with acquisition and disposition of business transactions, including, without limitation, general business risk, integration risk, technology risk, market acceptance risk, litigation risk, environmental risk, regulatory approval risk and risks associated with the failure to complete announced transactions. In the case of acquisitions, we may not be able to discover, during the due diligence process or otherwise, all known and unknown risks associated with the business we are acquiring. In the case of divestitures, we may agree to indemnify acquiring parties for known or unknown liabilities arising from the businesses we are divesting.
Undiscovered factors may result in our incurring financial or other liabilities, which could be material. In addition, completion of a transaction may require us to incur debt, issue equity, utilize other capital resources, make expenditures, provide guarantees or indemnification and/or agree to other terms and may also consume a substantial portion of our management’s time and attention. These transactions may not ultimately create value for us or our stockholders, and may harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We may acquire companies or make investments or otherwise enter into new markets in which we have little or no experience, which may lead us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such entry and which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time we may acquire or make investments in companies or businesses to gain access to, or otherwise seek to enter, new product or geographic markets in which we have no, or only limited, familiarity and experience. In addition, we may acquire companies engaged in the manufacture of mining equipment that have substantial operations in other lines of business in which we have no prior experience, that we may be unwilling, or unable on commercially reasonable terms, to divest, or for which we may incur significant costs to divest. Our recent acquisition activity has included transactions of both types, including our 2014 and 2015 purchases of MTI and Montabert, respectively, through which we expanded our product lines to begin to compete in the market for underground hard rock mining equipment. While our entry into new markets may in many cases involve operations that appear complementary to our own, we may lack familiarity with the design, manufacture, sale or maintenance of equipment produced for this market, with the needs or expectations of customers operating in these markets, or with regulatory requirements affecting these markets. In addition, our competitors in new markets will have greater experience and may have greater resources than we do. As a result of these factors, we may fail to achieve the business objectives that we intended to achieve at the time we acquired or invested in a company or entered into a new market, which may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.
We are subject to environmental and health and safety laws and regulations that impose significant compliance costs and may expose us to substantial liability if we fail to comply.
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to employee health and safety, environmental permitting and licensing, air (including greenhouse gas) emissions, water discharges, remediation of soil and groundwater contamination and the generation, use, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous materials. Some environmental laws impose strict, retroactive and joint and several liability for the remediation of the release of hazardous substances, even for conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred, or for the conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior operators, predecessors or other third parties. Failure to comply with environmental laws could expose us to penalties or clean-up costs, civil or criminal liability and sanctions on certain of our activities, as well as damage to property or natural resources. These liabilities, sanctions, damages and remediation efforts related to any non-compliance with such laws and regulations could negatively impact our ability to conduct our operations and our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our various prior and future acquisitions and divestitures may have resulted or could result in environmental liabilities unknown to us at the time of acquisition or divestiture or other additional environmental liabilities.
Moreover, environmental laws and regulations, and the interpretation and enforcement thereof, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. Future environmental laws and regulations, or their interpretation, could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses in connection with our business. For example, increased regulation of greenhouse gas emissions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or product demand.
We require cash to service our indebtedness, which reduces the cash available to finance our business, and the terms of our debt agreements require us to comply with financial and other covenants.
Our ability to service our indebtedness depends on our financial performance, which is affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors. Some of these factors are beyond our control. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness and to meet our other obligations and commitments, we might be required to refinance our debt or to dispose of assets to obtain funds for such purpose. There is no assurance that refinancings or asset dispositions could be effected on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all, particularly if credit market conditions

13


deteriorate. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that refinancings or asset dispositions would be permitted by the terms of our credit agreements or debt instruments.
Our existing credit agreements contain, and any future debt agreements we may enter into may contain, certain financial tests and other covenants that limit our ability to incur indebtedness, acquire other businesses and impose various other restrictions. Our ability to comply with financial tests may be adversely affected by changes in economic or business conditions beyond our control, and these covenants may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. We cannot be certain that we will be able to comply with the financial tests and other covenants, or, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers or amended terms from our lenders. An uncured default with respect to one or more of the covenants could result in the amounts outstanding under one or more of the agreements being declared immediately due and payable, which may also trigger an obligation to redeem our outstanding debt securities and repay all other outstanding indebtedness. Any such acceleration of our indebtedness would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A downgrade to our credit ratings would increase our cost of borrowing under our credit facility and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets.
Our cost of borrowing under our unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on July 29, 2019 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) and our ability and the terms under which we may access the capital markets are affected by credit ratings assigned to our indebtedness by the major credit rating agencies. These ratings are premised on our performance under assorted financial metrics, such as leverage and interest coverage ratios and other measures of financial strength, business and financial risk, industry conditions, transparency with rating agencies and timeliness of financial reporting. Our current ratings have served to lower our borrowing costs and facilitate access to a variety of lenders. However, there can be no assurance that our credit ratings or outlook will not be lowered in the future in response to adverse changes in these metrics caused by our operating results, by our market outlook or by actions that we take, such as incurring additional indebtedness or by returning excess cash to shareholders through dividends or under our share repurchase program. A downgrade of our credit ratings would increase our cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement as well as our cost of operations, negatively affect our ability to access the capital markets on advantageous terms, or at all, negatively affect the trading price of our securities and have a material adverse effect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Significant changes in our actual investment return on pension assets, discount rates and other factors could affect our results of operations, equity and pension funding requirements in future periods.
Our results of operations may be affected by the amount of income or expense that we record for our defined benefit pension plans and certain other retirement benefits. We measure the valuation of our pension plans annually as of our fiscal year end in order to determine the funded status of and our funding obligation with respect to such plans. This annual valuation of our pension plans is highly dependent on certain assumptions used in actuarial valuations, which include actual and expected return on pension assets, mortality, and discount rates. These assumptions take into account current and expected financial market data, other economic conditions, such as interest rates and inflation, and other factors such as plan asset allocation, mortality tables, and future salary increases. If actual rates of return of return on pension assets materially differ from assumptions, our pension funding obligations may increase or decrease significantly. The Company’s accounting policy for defined benefit plans may subject earnings to volatility due to the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses, particularly those due to the change in the fair value of pension and post-retirement plan assets and interest rates. Our funding obligation is determined under governmental regulations and is measured based on the value of our assets and liabilities. An adverse change in our funded status due to the volatility of returns on pension assets and the discount rate applied could increase our required future contributions to our plans, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We may incur additional tax expense or become subject to additional tax exposure.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are dependent on the location of earnings among these different jurisdictions. Our provision for income taxes and cash tax liability in the future could be adversely affected by numerous factors, including income before taxes being lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws and regulations. In addition, as of October 30, 2015, our foreign subsidiaries held $98.8 million of cash and cash equivalents that would be subject to U.S. taxation if repatriated to the United States. We are also subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The results of audit and examination of previously filed tax returns and continuing assessments of our tax exposures may have a material adverse effect on the company’s provision for income taxes and cash tax liability.
Our continued success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property, which cannot be assured.

14


Our future success depends in part on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We rely principally on nondisclosure agreements and other contractual arrangements and trade secret law and, to a lesser extent, trademark and patent law, to protect our intellectual property. However, these measures may be inadequate to protect our intellectual property from infringement by others or prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do U.S. laws. Our inability to protect our proprietary information and enforce our intellectual property rights through infringement proceedings could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our manufacturing operations are dependent on third party suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price increases.
In the manufacture of our products we use large amounts of raw materials and processed inputs including steel, copper and engine and electronic components. We obtain raw materials and certain manufactured components from third party suppliers. Our financial performance is constrained by our ability to secure critical raw materials such as steel and copper at prices that support our cost structure, or that can be passed along to our customers through increases in the price of the equipment that we manufacture. To reduce material costs and inventories, we rely on supplier arrangements with preferred vendors as a source for “just in time” delivery of many raw materials and manufactured components. Because we maintain limited raw material and component inventories, even brief unanticipated delays in delivery by suppliers, including those due to capacity constraints, labor disputes, impaired financial condition of suppliers, weather emergencies or other natural disasters, may adversely affect our ability to satisfy our customers on a timely basis and thereby affect our financial performance. If we are not able to pass raw material or component price increases on to our customers, our margins could be adversely affected. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Labor disputes and increasing labor costs could adversely affect us.
Many of our principal domestic and foreign operating subsidiaries are parties to collective bargaining agreements with their employees. As of October 30, 2015, collective bargaining agreements or similar type arrangements cover 27% of our U.S. workforce and 28% of our international employees. We cannot provide assurance that disputes, work stoppages or strikes will not arise in the future. In addition, when existing collective bargaining agreements expire, we cannot be certain that we will be able to reach new agreements with our employees. In fiscal 2016, union agreements are to expire for 5% of our employees, with the largest agreements covering our Local 1114 union at our Milwaukee, Wisconsin facility and our Montabert union at our Lyon, France facility. New collective bargaining agreements may be on substantially different terms and may result in increased direct and indirect labor costs. Future disputes with our employees could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Increased IT security threats and sophisticated computer crime pose a risk to our systems, networks, products and services.
We rely on information technology ("IT") systems and networks in connection with a variety of our business activities, and we collect and store sensitive data. IT security threats and sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats such as attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems, are increasing in sophistication and frequency. These threats pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. We have experienced, and expect to continue to confront attempts from hackers and other third parties to gain unauthorized access to our IT systems and networks. Although these attacks to date have not had a material impact on us, we could in the future experience attacks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. While we actively manage IT risks within our control, we can provide no assurance that our actions will be successful in eliminating or mitigating risks to our systems, networks and data. A failure of or breach in IT security could expose us and our customers, dealers and suppliers to risks of misuse of information or systems, the compromise of confidential information, manipulation and destruction of data, defective products, production downtimes and operations disruptions. Any of these events in turn could adversely affect our reputation, competitive position, business and results of operations. In addition, such breaches in security could result in litigation, regulatory action and potential liability, as well as the costs and operational consequences of implementing further data protection measures.
A material disruption to one of our significant manufacturing plants could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.
We produce most of our original equipment and parts for each product type at a limited number of principal manufacturing facilities. If operations at one or more of these significant facilities were to be disrupted as a result of equipment failures, natural disasters, power outages or other reasons, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. Interruptions in production could increase costs and delay delivery of some units.
Our business could be adversely affected by our failure to develop new technologies.
The mining industry is a capital-intensive business, with extensive planning and development necessary to open a new mine. The success of our customers’ mining projects is largely dependent on the efficiency with which the mine operates. If we are

15


unable to provide continued technological improvements in our equipment that meet the needs and expectations of our customers and the broader industry on mine productivity, safety and efficiency, the demand for our mining equipment would be adversely affected, which would negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to hire and retain qualified employees, our growth may be hindered.
Our ability to provide high quality products and services depends in part on our ability to hire and retain skilled personnel in the areas of senior management, product engineering, manufacturing, servicing and sales. Competition for such personnel is intense and our competitors and others can be expected to attempt to hire our skilled employees from time to time. In particular, our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to retain customer relationships and technical expertise provided by our management team and our professional personnel.
We rely on significant customers, the loss of one or more of which could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and existing business.
We are dependent on maintaining significant customers by delivering reliable, high performance mining equipment and other products on a timely basis. We do not consider ourselves to be dependent on any single customer; however, our top ten customers collectively accounted for approximately 37% of our net sales for fiscal 2015. Consolidation and divestitures in the mining industry may result in different equipment preferences among current and former significant customers. The loss of one or more of our significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Regulations related to conflict minerals may force us to incur additional expenses.
In August 2012, the SEC adopted disclosure requirements related to certain minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries, as required by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The rule requires us to perform due diligence, and report whether “conflict minerals,” which are defined as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, necessary to the functionality of a product we manufacture originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country. Since 2014 we have been required to file with the SEC on an annual basis a specialized disclosure report on Form SD regarding such matters. We also may become subject to similar regulatory initiatives in other jurisdictions. As our supply chain is complex, we may incur significant costs to determine the source and custody of conflict minerals that we use in order to comply with these regulatory requirements. We may also face reputational challenges if we are unable to verify the origins for all conflict minerals used in our equipment, or if we are unable to conclude that our products are “conflict free.” Over time, conflict minerals reporting requirements may affect the sourcing, price and availability of some minerals which are necessary to the manufacture of our products, and may affect the availability and price of conflict minerals that are certified as conflict free. Accordingly, we may incur significant costs as a consequence of regulations related to conflict-free minerals, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We may be adversely affected by litigation or contractual obligations that give rise to liability.
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including asbestos and silica related liability), employment and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters and litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business. While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain risks, our policies are subject to substantial deductibles. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that the coverage limits of our insurance policies will be adequate or that our policies will cover any particular loss. Insurance can be expensive, and we may not always be able to purchase insurance on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Claims brought against us that are not covered by insurance (or for which our insurers refuse to provide coverage) or that result in recoveries in excess of insurance coverage could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies related to legal claims asserted against us, as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Developments during the course of legal proceedings may affect our assessments and estimates of our contingencies, which in turn may require us to record or change the amount of a reserve, or make a payment that is different than the amount that we have reserved. Changes to reserves and payments that are greater than reserved amounts may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, as a normal part of operations, our subsidiaries undertake contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Some of these claims and obligations involve significant potential liability, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

16


We are the subject of an ongoing SEC investigation, which could divert management’s attention and result in substantial investigation expenses, monetary fines and other possible remedies.
We disclosed on November 6, 2014 that we had received a subpoena from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement concerning our 2012 acquisition of International Mining Machinery Holdings Limited and related accounting matters. We are cooperating with the SEC regarding this investigation, which is ongoing. Responding to the SEC’s investigation could divert management’s attention from other matters relating to our business, result in substantial investigation expenses and otherwise harm our business and reputation. In addition, if the SEC were to commence legal action, we could be subject to monetary fines and other possible remedies. We are unable to predict what consequences, if any, the SEC investigation may have on us, or the timing of its resolution. Although we currently do not expect the investigation to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity, the timing, resolution and impact of this matter is unknown.
 
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including approximately 3,512 asbestos and silica related cases), employment and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters and litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business.

SEC Investigation. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we received a notice from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement that it was conducting an investigation into certain matters involving our acquisition of International Mining Machinery Holdings Limited ("IMM") in 2012 and related accounting matters. The notice was accompanied by a subpoena directing us to produce a variety of documents. We have provided documents responsive to the subpoena and are cooperating with the SEC in its investigation. While it is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of the SEC inquiry, we currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operation, financial position or liquidity.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.

(1) - In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we adopted mark to market accounting for our pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The results of operations for fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2014 have been re-cast to include the impact of adopting this accounting principle. Mark to market ("MTM") losses of $63.3 million in fiscal 2015 ($39.8 million net of tax or $0.41 per diluted share), losses of $9.8 million in fiscal 2014 ($5.9 million net of tax or $0.06 per diluted share), gains of $1.7 million in fiscal 2013 (loss of $6.7 million net of tax or $0.06 per diluted share due to unfavorable geographical mix on earnings), and losses of $183.8 million in fiscal 2012 ($129.5 net of tax or $1.21 per diluted share) and $63.5 million in fiscal 2011($43.8 net of tax or $0.41 per diluted share) are related to the year-end actuarial adjustments under the new accounting principle. This impact excludes the reversal of certain expenses recognized under the previous amortization methodology that have been reversed under the new methodology and the impact of the MTM adjustment that is capitalized to inventory on the balance sheet. The impact of the reversals resulted in additional operating income of $20.1 million in fiscal 2014, $37.4 million in 2013, $32.5 million in fiscal 2012, and $29.9 million in fiscal 2011. The amount of MTM adjustments capitalized to inventory were credits of $6.4 million and of $5.9 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively, and debits of $19.9 million and $4.1 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The impact to inventory in fiscal 2015 was not material. See the notes to the accompanying financial statements for further information.

(2) - In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we completed the redemption of our $250 million senior notes due in 2016 using a mixture of available cash on hand and debt. See the notes to the accompanying financial statements for further information.

(3) – In fiscal 2015, we incurred a $1.3 billion impairment charge, covering goodwill, other intangible assets and certain property, plant and equipment. See the notes to the accompanying financial statements for further information.

(4) – In fiscal 2013, we incurred a $155.2 million intangible impairment charge.

(5) – In December 2011, we acquired IMM, a leading designer and manufacturer of underground coal mining equipment in China.

(6) – In June 2011, we acquired LeTourneau, a worldwide leader in earthmoving equipment, and in October 2011 we completed the sale of its drilling products business. The drilling products business is accounted for as discontinued operations.


Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. References made to years are for fiscal year periods.

24


The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to enhance the understanding and evaluation of the results of operations, financial position, cash flows, indebtedness and other key financial information of Joy Global Inc. and its subsidiaries for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013. For a more complete understanding of this discussion, please read the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Overview
We are a leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of metals and minerals. We manufacture and market original equipment and parts and perform services for both underground and surface mining, as well as certain industrial applications. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals. We operate in two business segments: Underground and Surface. We are a major manufacturer of underground mining machinery for the extraction and haulage of coal and other bedded minerals. We are also a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction and haulage of copper, coal and other minerals and ores.

Acquisition of Montabert S.A.S.
On June 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Montabert for approximately $121.5 million, gross of cash acquired of $7.1 million dollars. Montabert specializes in the design, production and distribution of high quality hydraulic rock breakers, pneumatic equipment, drilling attachments, drifters and related parts and tools. This acquisition expands the Company's product and service capabilities for hard rock mining, tunneling and rock excavation, further diversifying our commodity and end market exposures. Montabert's results of operations have been included as part of the Underground segment from the date of the acquisition forward.
Acquisition of Mining Technologies International Inc.
On May 30, 2014, we closed on the purchase of certain assets of MTI for $44.4 million. MTI is a Canadian manufacturer of underground hard rock mining equipment serving the North American markets and a world leading supplier of raise bore drilling consumables. We have acquired substantially all of the assets associated with MTI's hard rock drilling, loaders, dump trucks, shaft sinking and raise bore product lines. MTI's results of operations have been included as part of the Underground segment from the acquisition date forward.
Operating Results
Net sales in fiscal 2015 were $3.2 billion, compared to $3.8 billion in fiscal 2014. The decrease in net sales of $606.2 million, or 16%, in the current year reflected a decrease in original equipment sales of $371.6 million, or 31%, and a decrease in service sales of $234.6 million, or 9%. Original equipment sales decreased in all regions except Africa, which had a slight increase. The decrease in original equipment sales was led by Latin America, which decreased by $138.8 million. Service sales decreased in all regions except Eurasia, which increased due to the fiscal 2015 acquisition of Montabert, and China. The decrease in service sales was led by North America, which decreased by $127.6 million. Compared to the prior year, net sales in fiscal 2015 included a $173.8 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Operating loss in fiscal 2015 was $1.1 billion, or 35.0% of net sales, compared to income of $527.5 million, or 14.0% of net sales, in fiscal 2014. The decrease in operating income of $1.6 billion, or 310%, in the current year was due to $1.3 billion of impairment charges, loss of margins on lower sales volumes of $214.5 million, a less favorable product mix of $58.1 million, lower manufacturing cost absorption of $26.3 million, and higher product development, selling and administrative expenses of $7.8 million, which included an $11.9 million increase in restructuring costs and $46.7 million increase in mark to market pension adjustments. These items were partially offset by reduced period costs (defined as any costs of sales other than those costs associated with selling inventory at standard costs) of $13.7 million, which included increased excess purchase accounting charges of $4.3 million. Compared to the prior year, operating (loss) income in fiscal 2015 included a $19.1 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Loss from continuing operations in fiscal 2015 was $1.2 billion, or $12.08 per diluted share, compared to income of $338.1 million, or $3.35 per diluted share, in fiscal 2014.

25


Bookings in fiscal 2015 were $2.7 billion, compared to $3.6 billion in fiscal 2014. The decrease in bookings of $917.3 million, or 25%, in the current year reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $498.4 million, or 49%, and a decrease in service bookings of $418.9 million, or 16%. Original equipment bookings decreased in all regions. The decrease in original equipment bookings was led by Latin America, China and North America, which decreased by $162.0 million, $130.3 million and $115.9 million, respectively. Service bookings decreased in all regions except Eurasia. The decrease in service bookings was led by North America, which decreased by $261.9 million. Compared to the prior year, bookings in fiscal 2015 included a $188.6 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Impairment Charges
We concluded that an indicator was present that suggested impairment may exist for our goodwill as of July 31, 2015, as our total shareholders’ equity exceeded our market capitalization due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets, their related effect on the global mining investment environment and the resulting impact on our market capitalization. Based on this indicator of impairment, we performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill as of the last day of our fiscal third quarter. We concluded our step one evaluation on our reporting units and determined that the estimated fair value of our Underground reporting unit was lower than the carrying value of the reporting unit, while the result of our interim test for the Surface reporting unit was that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. However, given the timing of the decline in our market capitalization, we were unable to complete step two of the Underground goodwill impairment test until we were engaged in the preparation of our annual financial statements. Upon completion of step two of our goodwill impairment test, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.2 billion. This impairment charge represents a complete impairment of goodwill in the Underground reporting unit.
As of October 30, 2015, we again determined there was an indicator of potential goodwill impairment due to the continued deterioration of our markets and the resulting effects on our market capitalization. As a result we performed another interim impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The result of our step one evaluation was that the fair value of the Surface reporting unit again exceeded its carrying value. Although we have concluded there is no impairment on the goodwill of $354.6 million associated with our Surface segment as of year end, we will continue to closely monitor in the future considering the uncertainty in the markets and the continued decline in our stock price after year end. Should there still be further market declines and/or stock price declines in future periods, there is increasing risk that Surface segment goodwill may be impaired. We will continue to update our evaluation as market conditions and the follow on impacts to our share price warrant.
As of July 31, 2015, we also assessed our tangible and intangible finite-lived assets for impairment due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets and their related effect on the global mining investment environment. No impairment was identified related to our finite-lived intangible assets as of July 31, 2015. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we determined that there was an additional risk that certain tangible and intangible finite-lived assets may not be recoverable due to continued deterioration of our markets. Each asset group was considered and it was determined that the cash flows of an asset group in China and a steel mill would be insufficient to support their carrying value. As a result of our analysis, non-cash impairment charges of $42.6 million and $57.9 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Underground segment for property, plant and equipment and customer relationship intangible assets, respectively, related to an asset group in China. In addition, charges of $19.2 million and $2.1 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Surface segment for property, plant and equipment and the customer relationship intangible asset, respectively, related to a steel mill. 
In addition, we also assessed our indefinite-lived trademarks as of July 31, 2015 due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets and their related effect on the global mining investment environment. No impairment was identified related to our indefinite-lived trademarks as of July 31, 2015. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 we re-assessed our indefinite-lived trademarks due to the continued deterioration of our markets, developing an estimate of fair value using a discounted cash flow model. As a result of this analysis, a non-cash impairment charge of $10.8 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Underground segment. 
Total impairment charges of $1.3 billion were recorded as a result of each of these analyses. These charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges
Retirement Plans Mark to Market Adjustment
In the fourth quarter of 2015, we voluntarily changed our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. We elected to recognize actuarial gains and losses in the income statement immediately, as it more clearly depicts the impact of current economic conditions in our consolidated results of operations.

26


Historically, we deferred actuarial gains and losses from these plans and recognized the financial impact in the statement of operations over future years using a method commonly referred to as the corridor method. Specifically, the net loss (gain) in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation or the market related value of plan assets was amortized on a straight line basis over the average remaining service period (or over the average life of the participants if all or almost all of the plan participants are inactive). With the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses, actuarial gains and losses from these plans are immediately recognized in our results of operations in an annual adjustment that is recorded in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should a re-measurement event occur. The remaining components of net periodic benefit costs, primarily service and interest costs and the expected return on plan assets, will continue to be recorded on a quarterly basis.
In addition, for purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, we will no longer use an averaging technique for the market-related value of plan assets, but we are voluntarily changing to the actual fair value of plan assets to adjust for changes in actual versus expected rates of return. The impact of this change will be recorded annually as part of the adjustment described above. Collectively, the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses and the immediate recognition of actual versus expected rates of return on plan assets are referred to herein as the "mark to market pension and postretirement plan adjustment."
Our operating segment results align with our internal management reporting, whose primary use is to drive operating decisions and to assess performance. We will continue to report service cost, interest cost, and the expected return on plan assets at the segment levels. However, the annual recognition of actuarial gains and losses (“the mark to market adjustment”) will be recorded as part of corporate activities and reflected as such in our reporting.
These changes have been applied retrospectively. As a result, we have booked year end mark to market adjustment losses of $63.3 million and $9.8 million in fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively, and a gain of $1.7 million in fiscal 2013, before considering the capitalization of any such amounts into inventory. See additional impacts of the new accounting policy in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies.
Market Outlook
Over the course of 2015, pricing for most major commodities served by the company's customers fell as supply curtailments were slow to materialize in a tepid global growth environment. Global growth is expected to improve modestly in calendar 2016. Commodity prices are not expected to see any material improvement with current over-supplied conditions, which will continue to strain cash flows for most mining companies. We expect further austerity driven cost reduction measures and asset consolidation to define the mining industry in 2016.
Slowing global growth, particularly in China, impacted copper markets during the year with prices falling in calendar fourth quarter. In response to the decline in pricing this year, several major mining companies have recently announced significant production cuts over the next 18 months. Accordingly, some forecasts have the refined copper market returning to a deficit in 2016. While a return to deficit could provide some support to pricing, a weaker than expected demand profile will likely keep copper pricing low.
The combination of regulatory pressures along with sustained low natural gas pricing has resulted in calendar 2015 being one of the most challenging years on record for the U.S. coal market. Coal fired power plant closures and coal-to-gas switching are expected to drive a significant reduction in coal burn in the U.S. this calendar year. The significant reduction in coal burn along with decreased export opportunities due to the strong U.S. dollar will likely see coal production fall substantially in 2015. With the expectation of continued low natural gas pricing and further coal fired power plant closures, we expect coal burn to be down in 2016.
The international seaborne thermal coal market remains oversupplied. Reduced Chinese coal imports have outweighed the increases in India and Southeast Asia and left the market oversupplied. During the year, currency fluctuations benefiting Australia and Russia also resulted in excess supply in the market. However, in response to low prices, exports from Indonesia have fallen through the calendar third quarter which has helped to reduce the surplus in the market. The seaborne thermal coal supply surplus is expected to persist into 2016 although increasing imports into India and Southeast Asia along with fewer new projects will help to rebalance the market.
Seaborne metallurgical coal markets have also seen reduced demand as a result of global steel production contracting through October. As a result, metallurgical coal spot prices have fallen, putting a significant amount of global supply below their cash operating costs. Iron ore markets have faced a similar trend down with weakening demand driving prices down. While global steel demand is projected to increase in 2016 following a contraction in 2015, new supply growth is expected to exceed demand growth resulting in prices likely trending at or below current levels.

27


The global mining market is expected to remain under pressure in 2016 as oversupplied markets continue to rebalance. Supply curtailments along with improving demand in some markets will could provide some relief. However, with most mining companies' cash flows under pressure, industry capital expenditures are expected to continue to decline.
Company Outlook
With global mining capital expenditures expected to step down again in 2016, we remain intensely focused on cost reduction and cash generation. We exceeded our cost reduction targets again in 2015 and are pro-actively taking actions to achieve another cost reduction in 2016. Our cash generation in the fourth quarter was strong and was driven by good results in bringing our inventory in closer alignment with current order levels. We believe there are additional opportunities to structurally reduce our inventories in 2016 by leveraging our global supply chain and the recent investments we have made in our service network.
We will also continue to drive our growth strategies with service, new product development, and expansion of our hard rock platform. While adoption rates are slowed by current market conditions, we have expanded our design capabilities to deliver value-added, new Joy branded service products and consumables to our customers and are well positioned to drive growth in this area in the future. Our hybrid excavator, underground hard rock loader and prototype hard rock mechanical cutting machine are all currently operating and proving out their capabilities with customers in the field. These organically developed new products in combination with the recent acquisitions and our global service network will enable us to drive growth in current and adjacent markets in the future.
We believe that our strategies and operational execution will position us well for the future, but the state of our end markets sets up another challenging year in 2016.

Underground operating loss in fiscal 2015 was $1.2 billion, or 64.8% of net sales, compared to income of $285.3 million, or 13.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground operating income of $1.4 billion, or 504%, was due to impairment charges of $1.3 billion, loss of margins on lower sales volumes of $106.6 million, a less favorable product mix of $42.1 million and lower manufacturing cost absorption of $5.7 million. These items were partially offset by lower period costs of $29.3 million, which includes increased excess purchase accounting charges of $4.3 million, and decreased product development, selling and administrative expenses of $6.1 million, which included a $1.5 million increase in restructuring costs. Compared to the prior year, Underground operating loss in fiscal 2015 included an $18.4 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Surface operating income in fiscal 2015 was $173.7 million, or 11.5% of net sales, compared to $342.8 million, or 18.6% of net sales, in fiscal 2014. The decrease in Surface operating income of $169.1 million, or 49%, was due to impairment charges of $21.3 million, loss of margins on lower sales volumes of $116.1 million, a less favorable product mix of $22.5 million, lower manufacturing cost absorption of $21.7 million, and higher period costs of $6.5 million. These items were partially offset by reduced product development, selling and administrative expenses of $23.3 million, which included an $8.8 million increase in restructuring costs.
Corporate expense in fiscal 2015 was $102.7 million, compared to $57.1 million in fiscal 2014. The increase in corporate expense of $45.7 million, or 80%, was primarily due to the $46.7 million increase in mark to market pension adjustments and the $1.6 million increase in restructuring costs, partially offset by lower performance based compensation.
Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense
Product development, selling and administrative expense in fiscal 2015 was $616.7 million, or 19.4% of net sales, compared to $608.9 million, or 16.1% of net sales, in fiscal 2014. The increase in product development, selling and administrative expense of $7.8 million, or 1%, was primarily due to the incremental expenses associated with the Company's recent acquisitions of Montabert and MTI in fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase in bad debt expense, higher pension expense as a result of the magnitude of the fiscal 2015 mark to market adjustment, an increase in legal and professional fees, higher share-based compensation expense and incremental expenses for restructuring activities undertaken in the current fiscal year. These increases were partially offset by lower performance based compensation, favorable foreign currency impacts and cost savings from headcount reductions and other restructuring activities. Restructuring activities continued in 2015 to better align the company's workforce and overall cost structure with current and expected future demand.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we incurred a $1.3 billion impairment charge, covering goodwill, other intangible assets and certain items of property, plant, and equipment. This charge was primarily recorded by the Underground segment. See the notes to the accompanying financial statements for further information.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense in fiscal 2015 was $53.4 million, compared to $55.3 million in fiscal 2014. The decrease in net interest expense of $1.9 million, or 3%, was primarily due to the reduction in the borrowing spreads and commitment fees as a result of the third quarter fiscal 2014 refinancing, as well as increased interest earned on interest bearing assets.
Debt Retirement
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company elected to redeem the entire $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 to reduce interest expense and improve bank and credit rating leveraging metrics. The cost of

29


redemption, including the payment of the make whole premium, was funded with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 2015 was $0.9 million, compared to $134.1 million in fiscal 2014. Our effective rate was (0.1)% in fiscal 2015, compared to 28.4% in the prior year. The adoption of mark to market accounting impacted the effective rate for each year as a result of the required adjustment to income before taxes and the volatility of the adjustment. The adoption of mark to market accounting increased our 2015 effective tax rate by 190 basis points and increased our 2014 effective tax rate by 10 basis points.
A net discrete tax expense of $0.2 million was also recorded in fiscal 2015, compared to a benefit of $21.4 million in fiscal 2014. Excluding the impact of discrete items, the effective tax rate is (0.1)% in fiscal 2015 versus 32.9% in fiscal 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the year, excluding discrete items, was primarily attributable to impairment charges on certain assets of the Company's Underground business segment. The discrete tax expense in fiscal 2015 was primarily attributable to the establishment of valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets of various foreign subsidiaries for which a benefit is not currently available, offset by U.S. foreign tax credits in connection with dividends received from non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Bookings
Bookings represent new customer orders for original equipment and services. Service bookings include orders for parts, components, and rebuilds, but are exclusive of long-term maintenance and repair arrangements and life cycle management arrangements awarded to us during the reporting period.

Underground operating income in fiscal 2014 was $285.3 million, or 13.7% of net sales, compared to $388.8 million, or 14.4% of net sales, in fiscal 2013. The decrease in Underground operating income of $103.5 million, or 27%, was due to margins on lower sales volumes of $212.1 million, a less favorable product mix of $8.4 million, lower manufacturing cost absorption of $49.9 million and a decrease in other income of $0.2 million, These items were partially offset by reduced product development, selling and administrative expenses of $36.1 million and the prior year non-cash impairment charge of certain acquired trademarks of $130.2 million. Compared to the prior year, Underground operating income in fiscal 2014 included a $16.9 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Surface operating income in fiscal 2014 was $342.8 million, or 18.6% of net sales, compared to $539.9 million, or 21.6% of net sales, in fiscal 2013. The decrease in Surface operating income of $197.1 million, or 37%, was due to margins on lower sales volumes of $216.0 million, a less favorable product mix of $18.3 million and higher period costs of $18.9 million. These items were partially offset by higher manufacturing cost absorption of $8.0 million, an increase in other income of $7.0 million, the prior year non-cash impairment charge of certain acquired trademarks of $25.0 million and reduced product development, selling and administrative expenses of $16.0 million, which includes a $5.5 million decrease in restructuring costs and a $2.6 million of lower pension and post-retirement costs. Compared to the prior year, Surface operating income in fiscal 2014 included a $0.5 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.

31


Corporate expense in fiscal 2014 was $57.1 million, compared to $48.1 million in fiscal 2013. The increase in corporate expense of $9.0 million, or 19%, in the current year was primarily due to a decrease in other income of $28.0 million, which in fiscal 2013 included a claim settlement and an acquisition settlement of $15.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively. This increase in expense was partially offset by $13.9 million of lower charges year over year for the annual mark to market pension and post-retirement plan adjustment as well as reduced incentive based compensation expenses.
Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense
Product development, selling and administrative expense in fiscal 2014 was $608.9 million, or 16.1% of net sales, compared to $656.1 million, or 13.1% of net sales, in fiscal 2013. The decrease in product development, selling and administrative expense of $47.3 million, or 6%, was primarily driven by lower sales volumes, lower incentive-based compensation expense, reduced restructuring activities and savings from the Company's cost reduction programs. These costs were partially offset by an increase in product development, selling and administrative expense for its allocated portion of the year end mark to market pension and other post-retirement adjustments.
In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we reviewed our brand portfolio and developed a strategy to increase the visibility of our core brands in furtherance of our One Joy Global initiative. During this review, we determined that the indefinite life assumption was no longer appropriate for most of our previously acquired trademarks. As a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $155.2 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, of which $130.2 million was recorded by our Underground segment and $25.0 million was recorded by our Surface segment. 
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense in fiscal 2014 was $55.3 million, compared to $57.5 million in fiscal 2013. The decrease in net interest expense of $2.2 million, or 4%, was primarily due to a lower balance on our Term Loan (as defined below), savings from our debt refinancing that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and interest income on higher balances of interest bearing assets.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 2014 was $134.1 million, compared to $241.2 million in fiscal 2013. Our effective rate was 28.4% in fiscal 2014 as compared to 31.0% in fiscal 2013. The adoption of mark to market accounting impacted our effective tax rate for each year as a result of the required adjustment to income before taxes and the volatility of the adjustment. The adoption of mark to market accounting increased our effective tax rate by 10 basis points and 90 basis points in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
A net discrete tax benefit of $21.4 million was recorded for fiscal 2014, compared to a benefit of $5.2 million in fiscal 2013. Excluding the impact of discrete items, the effective tax rate was 32.9% in fiscal 2014 and 31.7% in fiscal 2013, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the year, excluding discrete items, was primarily attributable to the geographic mix of earnings and increased net operating losses of certain foreign subsidiaries without a currently recognizable tax benefit. The discrete tax benefits in fiscal 2014 were primarily attributable to favorable income tax audit settlements and release of certain reserves for which the statute of limitations had expired.

Underground bookings in fiscal 2014 were $1.8 billion, compared to $2.3 billion in fiscal 2013. The decrease in Underground bookings of $464.4 million, or 20%, reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $455.1 million, or 45%, and a decrease in service orders of $9.4 million, or 1%. Original equipment bookings decreased in all regions except Eurasia. The decline in original equipment orders was primarily in Australia and North America, which decreased by $208.0 million and $147.6 million, respectively. Service bookings decreased in all regions except North America and China. The decline in service bookings was led by Australia and Africa, which decreased by $35.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Compared to prior year, Underground bookings in fiscal 2014 included a $79.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.

Surface bookings in fiscal 2014 were $1.9 billion, compared to $1.8 billion in fiscal 2013. The increase in Surface bookings of $138.2 million, or 8%, reflected an increase in original equipment bookings of $79.4 million, or 18%, and an increase in service orders of $58.8 million, or 4%. Original equipment bookings increased in all regions except Eurasia and Africa. The increase in original equipment orders was led by North America and Latin America, which increased by $60.7 million and $59.3 million, respectively. Service bookings increased in Latin America, North America and Africa by $62.8 million, $20.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively, with decreases in all other regions. Compared to prior year, Surface bookings in fiscal 2014 included a $35.4 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

We currently use trade working capital and cash flow from continuing operations as two financial measurements to evaluate the performance of our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. We require trade working capital investment because our direct service model requires us to maintain certain inventory levels in order to maximize our customers’ machine availability. This information also provides management with a focus on our receivable terms and collectability efforts and our ability to obtain advance payments on original equipment orders. As part of the continuous improvement of our purchasing and manufacturing processes, we continue to strive for alignment of inventory levels with customer demand and current production schedules.
Cash provided by continuing operations for fiscal 2015 was $355.3 million, compared to $363.4 million provided by continuing operations in fiscal 2014. The decrease in cash provided by continuing operations during the year was primarily due to lower earnings, partially offset by changes in trade working capital levels and the collection of long-term receivables. Included in cash provided by operating activities for the year ended October 30, 2015 is a loss on the retirement of debt of $14.3 million, which represents the make whole premium on the redemption of our 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016.
Cash used by investing activities for fiscal 2015 was $181.5 million, compared to $125.5 million used by investing activities in fiscal 2014. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily due to the current year acquisition of Montabert, partially offset by lower capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $71 million in fiscal 2015 versus $91 million in fiscal 2014.
Cash used by financing activities for fiscal 2015 was $325.0 million, compared to $367.3 million used by financing activities in fiscal 2014. The decrease in cash used by financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in treasury share repurchases, partially offset by the early redemption of our 2016 Notes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
During each quarter of fiscal 2015 we paid cash dividends of $0.20 per outstanding share of common stock resulting in $78.0 million in dividends paid during the fiscal year. On December 16, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend

33


of $0.01 per outstanding share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on January 15, 2016 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on December 30, 2015.
In fiscal 2016, we expect capital spending to be between $70.0 million and $90.0 million. Capital projects will be focused on continuing investments in our global service infrastructure and operational excellence initiatives.
Retiree Benefits
We sponsor pension plans in the U.S. and in other countries. The significance of the funding requirements of these plans is largely dependent on the value of the plan assets, the investment returns on the plan assets, actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, and the impact of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. During fiscal 2015, we contributed $13.1 million to our defined benefit employee pension plans, and we expect contributions to be approximately $10.0 million in fiscal 2016. As of October 30, 2015, we have a net unfunded pension and other postretirement liability of $195.4 million.
As mentioned throughout this document, during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year, we voluntarily changed our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and for the calculation of the expected rate of return on plan assets for all of our pension and other post-retirement plans. As a result, we incurred fourth quarter non-cash mark to market losses related to this change of $63.3 million and $9.8 million for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we recognized a non-cash gain of $1.7 million related to the mark to market adjustment. These non-cash losses are prior to the impact of any amounts capitalized into inventory on the balance sheet.
Credit Facilities and Senior Notes
On December 14, 2015, we amended our Credit Agreement. This amendment to the Credit Agreement increased the consolidated leverage ratio from its current limit of 3.0x beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and continuing through the first quarter of fiscal 2018, with a maximum ratio of 4.5x for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 through the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The amendment also reduced the aggregate revolving commitments of the lenders from $1.0 billion to $850.0 million and added a letter of credit sublimit of $500.0 million. In addition, we also agreed to limit priority debt (secured indebtedness and the unsecured indebtedness of our foreign subsidiaries) to 10% of consolidated net worth and to limit cash dividends to $25.0 million per year in the aggregate. We may continue to request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one week or one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company’s credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its “prime rate,” or (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company’s credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders when the consolidated leverage ratio exceeds a stated level amount. As of October 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.
As of October 30, 2015, there was $58.6 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the credit limit, totaled $129.4 million. As of October 30, 2015, there was $812.0 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement would have been $662.0 million had the amendment been in effect at year end.
On July 29, 2014, we entered into a term loan agreement which matures July 29, 2019 and provides for a commitment of up to $375.0 million (as amended, the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan amended our prior term loan, dated as of June 16, 2011 (the "Prior Term Loan"). The Prior Term Loan had been scheduled to mature on July 16, 2016 and provided an initial commitment of $500.0 million, which had been drawn in full in conjunction with our fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies Inc., and had been amortized to $375.0 million at the date of amendment. We utilized the $375.0 million commitment under the Term Loan to repay the balance outstanding under the Prior Term Loan. On December 14, 2015, the Term Loan was amended to be consistent with the revolving Credit Agreement, including with respect to the maximum leverage ratio and restrictions on priority debt and dividends and other restricted payments. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning in fiscal 2016 and contains terms and conditions that are substantially the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial

34


covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of October 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.
As stated above, the Credit Agreement and Term Loan are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and require the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. Such calculations are adjusted for non-cash expense items, including those related to pension and postretirement obligations. As such, we do not anticipate that the adoption of accelerated amortization under mark to market accounting will impact our ability to maintain such covenants.
On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 (the "2021 Notes") at a discount of $4.2 million in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.
In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2016 Notes" and "2036 Notes," respectively). Interest on the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. The terms of the indenture permit us to redeem some or all of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.3% for the 2016 Notes and 0.375% for the 2036 Notes. In October of fiscal 2015 we redeemed the entire $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a “make whole” premium calculated in accordance with the indenture. This resulted in a $14.3 million loss on early debt retirement, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
Stock Repurchase Program
In August 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of our common stock until August 2016. Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations. During the year ended October 30, 2015, we purchased 954,580 shares of common stock for approximately $50.0 million, all of which occurred in the first quarter. During the year ended October 31, 2014, we purchased 4,712,025 shares of common stock for approximately $269.3 million. Since its inception, the Company has repurchased 9,771,605 shares of common stock under the program for approximately $533.4 million, leaving $466.6 million available under the program.
Advance Payments and Progress Billings
As part of the negotiation process associated with original equipment orders, contracts generally require advance payments and progress billings from our customers to support the procurement of inventory and other resources. As of October 30, 2015, advance payments and progress billings were $229.5 million. As orders are shipped or costs are incurred, the advance payments and progress billings are recognized as revenue in the consolidated financial statements.
Financial Condition
We believe our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to meet our projected needs. We had $102.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of October 30, 2015, of which $98.8 million is held by foreign entities, and $812.0 million is available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Subsequent to year end, the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility was modified to amend the total facility size to $850.0 million from $1.0 billion, among other things. Even considering the amendment, we still expect to meet our U.S. funding needs without repatriating undistributed profits that are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., which would result in the incurrence of additional U.S. corporate income taxes on such undistributed profits. In addition, we reduced our first quarter fiscal 2016 dividends from $0.20 per share to $0.01 per share. If maintained, this action would reduce annual cash outlay by approximately $75.0 million. Requirements for working capital, dividends, pension contributions, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases and principal and interest payments on our Term Loan and senior notes will be adequately funded by cash on hand and continuing operations, supplemented by short and long term borrowings, as required.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We lease various assets under operating leases. The aggregate payments under operating leases as of October 30, 2015 are disclosed in the table in the Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments section below. No significant changes to lease commitments have occurred during fiscal 2015. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventory, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty, pension and postretirement benefits and costs, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We believe the accounting policies described below are the policies that most frequently require us to make estimates and judgments, and therefore are critical to the understanding of our results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue on products and services when the following criteria are satisfied: persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, product delivery and transfer of title and risk and rewards has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue on long-term contracts, such as contracts to manufacture mining shovels, draglines, roof support systems and conveyor systems, using the percentage-of-completion method. When using the percentage-of-completion method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Sales and gross profit are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values. Estimated losses are recognized in full when identified. Approximately 92% of our sales in fiscal 2015 were recorded at the time of shipment or delivery of the product (depending on the terms of the agreement) or performance of the service, with the remaining 8% of sales recorded using percentage-of-completion accounting.
We have life cycle management arrangements with customers to supply parts and service for terms of 1 to 17 years. These arrangements are established based on the conditions in which the equipment will be operating, the time horizon that the arrangements will cover and the expected operating cycle that will be required for the equipment. Based on this information, a model is created representing the projected costs and revenues of servicing the respective machines over the specified arrangement terms. Accounting for these arrangements requires us to make various estimates, including estimates of the relevant machine’s long-term maintenance requirements. Under these arrangements, customers are generally billed monthly based on hours of operation or units of production achieved by the equipment, with the respective deferred revenues recorded when billed. Revenue is recognized in the period in which parts are supplied or services provided. These arrangements are reviewed quarterly by comparison of actual results to original estimates or most recent analysis, with revenue recognition adjusted appropriately for future estimated costs. If a loss is expected at any time, the full amount of the loss is recognized immediately.

36


We have certain customer agreements that are considered multiple element arrangements. These agreements primarily consist of the sale of multiple pieces of equipment or equipment with subsequent installation services. These agreements are assessed for the purpose of identifying deliverables and determining whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a standalone basis and whether delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in our control. If those criteria are met, revenue is allocated to each identified unit of accounting based on our estimate of the relative selling prices of the deliverables and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met for each element. The relative selling price is estimated by using recent sales transactions for similar items. The difference between the total of the separate selling prices and the total contract consideration is allocated pro-rata across each of the units of accounting included in the arrangement.
Revenue recognition involves judgments, including assessments of expected returns, the likelihood of nonpayment and estimates of expected costs and profits on long-term contracts. In determining when to recognize revenue, we analyze various factors, including the specifics of the transaction, historical experience, creditworthiness of the customer and current market and economic conditions. Changes in judgments on these factors could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized with a resulting impact on the timing and amount of associated income.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method for all inventories, except for inventories in those jurisdictions for which another method is required by law. Cost includes direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. We evaluate the need to record valuation adjustments for inventory on a regular basis. Inventory in excess of our estimated usage requirements is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Inherent in the estimates of net realizable value are estimates related to our future manufacturing schedules, customer demand, possible alternative uses and ultimate realization of potentially excess inventory.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets include engineering drawings, customer relationships, patents, unpatented technology and trademarks. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, which is principally the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
As of July 31, 2015, we assessed our tangible and intangible finite-lived assets for impairment due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets and their related effect on the global mining investment environment. No impairment was identified related to our finite-lived intangible assets as of July 31, 2015. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we determined that there was an additional risk that certain tangible and intangible finite-lived assets may not be recoverable due to continued deterioration of our markets. Each asset group was considered and it was determined that the cash flows of an asset group in China and a steel mill would be insufficient to support their carrying value.
In connection with the evaluation of these asset groups, we developed an estimate of fair value using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions critical to the process included forecasted financial information, discount rates and applicable customer retention rates. This fair value determination was categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 19, Fair Value Measurements, for the definition of Level 3 inputs.
As a result of this analysis, customer relationship non-cash impairment charges of $57.9 million and $2.1 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Underground and Surface segments, respectively. These charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are composed of certain trademarks and are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes occur that suggest an impairment in carrying value, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment by comparing each asset's fair value to its book value. We first determine qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived asset is impaired. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived asset is impaired, then we determine the fair value by using the discounted cash flow model based on royalties estimated to be derived in the future use of the asset were we to license the use of the indefinite-lived asset.
We assessed our indefinite-lived trademarks as of July 31, 2015 due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets and their related effect on the global mining investment environment. No impairment was identified related to our indefinite-lived trademarks as of July 31, 2015. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 we re-assessed our indefinite-lived trademarks due to the continued deterioration of our markets, developing an estimate of fair value using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions critical to the process included forecasted financial information, discount rates and royalty rates. The estimates of the fair values of the indefinite-lived trademarks are based on the best information currently available. However, further adjustments

37


may be necessary in the future if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions utilized. This fair value determination was categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 19, Fair Value Measurements, for the definition of Level 3 inputs.
As a result of this analysis, a non-cash impairment charge of $10.8 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Underground segment. This charge is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units, which we have identified as our operating segments, and is tested for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to their book value. We generally first determine, based on a qualitative assessment, whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we then determine the fair value of the reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the impairment test continues by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit’s identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole, as if that reporting unit had just been acquired and the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed were being determined initially. If goodwill is impaired, we recognize a non-cash impairment loss based on the amount by which the book value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
As of July 31, 2015, we concluded that an indicator was present that suggested impairment may exist for our goodwill, as our total shareholders’ equity exceeded our market capitalization due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets, their related effect on the global mining investment environment and the resulting impact on our market capitalization. Based on this indicator of impairment, we performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill as of the last day of our fiscal third quarter. We concluded our step one evaluation on our reporting units and determined that the estimated fair value of our Underground reporting unit was lower than the carrying value of the reporting unit, while the result of our interim test for the Surface reporting unit was that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded carrying value. However, given the timing of the decline in our market capitalization, we were unable to complete step two of the Underground goodwill impairment test until we were engaged in the preparation of our annual financial statements. Step two of the analysis requires us to perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for the Underground reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill and to compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the recorded amount of goodwill. Upon completion of step two of our goodwill impairment test, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.2 billion. This impairment charge represents a complete impairment of goodwill in the Underground reporting unit, and it is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges.
As of October 30, 2015, we determined there was an indicator of potential goodwill impairment due to the continued deterioration of our markets and the resulting effects on our market capitalization. As a result we performed another interim impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The result of our step one evaluation was that the estimated fair value of the Surface reporting unit again exceeded its carrying value. Although we have concluded there is no impairment on the goodwill associated with our Surface segment as of year end of $354.6 million, we will continue to closely monitor in the future considering the uncertainty in the markets and the continued decline in our stock price after year end. Should there be still further market declines and/or stock price declines in future periods, there is increasing risk that Surface segment goodwill may be impaired. We will continue to update our evaluation as market conditions and the follow on impacts to our share price warrant.
In connection with our goodwill impairment test, we worked with a third party appraisal firm throughout the process, including during both our step one assessments and in the determination of the fair value of Underground goodwill using a discounted cash flow model. In connection with obtaining an independent third party valuation, management provided certain information and assumptions that were utilized in the fair value calculation. Assumptions critical to the process included forecasted financial information, discount rates, working capital, and terminal growth rates. This fair value determination was categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 19, Fair Value Measurements, for the definition of Level 3 inputs.
See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional details regarding the results of our goodwill and other intangible impairment testing performed in fiscal 2015.
The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Qualitative assessments regarding goodwill and other intangible assets involve a high degree of judgment and can entail subjective considerations. The discounted cash flow model involves many assumptions, including operating results forecasts and discount rates. Inherent in the operating results forecasts are certain

38


assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, projected cost saving initiatives and projected long-term growth rates in the determination of terminal values.
Accrued Warranties
We provide for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties to remedy deficiencies of quality or performance of our products. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. These product warranties extend over either a specified period of time, units of production or machine hours depending on the product subject to the warranty. We accrue a provision for estimated future warranty costs based on the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. We periodically review the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties and adjust the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience as necessary.
Pension and Postretirement Benefits and Costs
In the fourth quarter of 2015, we voluntarily changed our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. We elected to recognize actuarial gains and losses in the statement of operations immediately, as it more clearly depicts the impact of current economic conditions in our consolidated results of operations. Furthermore, after implementing various de-risking strategies related to these plans in previous years, all of our major plans are currently frozen, with our U.S. and U.K. defined benefit pension plans funded at 92.0% and 95.6%, respectively, as of October 30, 2015. This change has been reported through retrospective application of this new policy to all periods presented.
Historically, we deferred actuarial gains and losses from these plans and recognized the financial impact in the statement of operations over future years using a method referred to as the corridor method. Specifically, the net loss (gain) in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation or the market related value of plan assets was amortized on a straight line basis over the average remaining service period (or over the average life of the participants if all or almost all of the plan participants are inactive). With the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses, actuarial gains and losses from these plans are immediately recognized in our results of operations in an annual adjustment that is recorded in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should a re-measurement event occur. The remaining components of net periodic benefit costs, primarily service and interest costs and the expected return on plan assets, will continue to be recorded on a quarterly basis.
In addition, for purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, we will no longer use an averaging technique for the market-related value of plan assets, but we are voluntarily changing to the actual fair value of plan assets to adjust for changes in actual versus expected rates of return. The impact of this change will be recorded annually as part of the adjustment described above. Collectively, the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses and the immediate recognition of actual versus expected rates of return on plan assets are referred to herein as the "mark to market pension and postretirement plan adjustment."
Consistent with prior periods, pension and other postretirement benefit costs and liabilities are still dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and rates of compensation increases, as discussed below:
Discount rates: We generally estimate the discount rate for pension and other postretirement benefit obligations using a process based on a hypothetical investment in a portfolio of high-quality bonds that approximates the estimated cash flows of the pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. We believe this approach permits a matching of future cash outflows related to benefit payments with future cash inflows associated with bond coupons and maturities.
Expected returns on plan assets: Our expected return on plan assets is derived from reviews of asset allocation strategies and anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, weighted by the allocation of our plan assets. Our analysis gives appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns; however, the assumptions are primarily based on long-term, prospective rates of return.
Mortality rates: Fiscal 2014 mortality rates are based on the IRS prescribed annuitant and non-annuitant mortality for 2014 under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. Fiscal 2015 mortality rates are based on the annuitant and non-annuitant mortality tables (RP-2014) released by the Society of Actuaries late in fiscal 2014, adjusted for the mortality improvement scale (MP-2014), as well as for the Company’s historical plan experience levels. Adoption of these modified tables had a $35.0 million expense impact to our pension and postretirement plans, which was recognized as part of our fourth quarter fiscal 2015 mark to market adjustment. Further, we considered the recently released updates to the 2014 mortality improvement scale, noting that the modifications would not be significant to our assumptions.
Rates of compensation increases: The rates of compensation increases reflect our long-term actual experience and its outlook, including consideration of expected rates of inflation.

39


As mentioned above, actual results that differ from these assumptions are immediately recognized in our results of operations in an annual adjustment that is recorded in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should a re-measurement event occur. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect our pension and other postretirement plan obligations and future expense. As such, a 0.25% change in the discount rate and the expected return on net assets would have the following effects on pension expense and the projected benefit obligation as of and for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2015:

Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using current statutory tax rates. Deferred income tax provisions are based on changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period. Additionally, we analyze our ability to recognize the net deferred tax assets created in each jurisdiction in which we operate to determine if valuation allowances are necessary based on the “more likely than not” criteria.
As required under the application of fresh start accounting, the release of pre-emergence tax valuation reserves was not recorded in the statement of operations but instead was treated first as a reduction of excess reorganization value until exhausted, then intangible assets until exhausted, and thereafter reported as additional paid in capital. Consequently, a net tax charge will be incurred in future years when these tax assets are utilized. We will continue to monitor the appropriateness of the existing valuation allowances and determine annually the amount of valuation allowances that are required to be maintained. As of October 30, 2015, there were $63.3 million of valuation allowances against pre-emergence net operating loss carryforwards. All future reversals of pre-emergence valuation allowances will be recorded to additional paid in capital.
We estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year on an interim basis. The estimated effective tax rate contemplates the expected jurisdiction where income is earned (e.g., United States compared to non-United States), as well as tax planning strategies. If the actual results are different from these estimates, adjustments to the effective tax rate may be required in the period such determination is made. Additionally, discrete items are treated separately from the effective rate analysis and are recorded separately as an income tax provision or benefit at the time they are recognized. To the extent recognized, these items will impact the effective tax rate in the aggregate but will not adjust the amount used for future periods within the same year.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Our new accounting pronouncements are set forth under Item 15, Exhibits and Financial Statements Schedules, and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in earnings and cash flows due to volatility in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. We monitor our risks on a continuous basis and generally enter into derivative instruments to minimize our foreign currency exposures. We do not engage in speculation in our derivative strategy. We assess effectiveness of our hedging relationships on an ongoing basis to ensure the transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair values of the hedged item.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on long-term debt obligations. We have a combination of fixed and variable rate debt (see Note 10, Borrowings and Credit Facilities), and interest rate movements impact the value of fixed-rate debt and cash flows on variable-rate debt. As of October 30, 2015, we were not party to any interest rate derivative contracts.

40


Commodity Price Risk
We purchase certain raw materials, including steel and copper, that are subject to price volatility caused by systematic risks. Although future movements in raw material prices are unpredictable, we manage this risk through periodic purchases of raw materials and passing some or all of our price increases to our customers. As of October 30, 2015, we were not a party to any material commodity forward contracts.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have a risk-averse foreign currency exchange risk management policy under which significant exposures that impact earnings and cash flows are hedged. Exposures that impact only equity or do not have a cash flow impact are generally not hedged with derivatives. We hedge two categories of foreign exchange exposures: accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in a non-functional foreign currency, which include future committed receipts or payments, and certain entity net balance sheet accounts denominated in a non-functional currency. These exposures normally arise from the import and export of goods and from intercompany trade and lending activity.
Assets and liabilities of international operations that have a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and revenue and expense items are translated using weighted average exchange rates. Any adjustments arising on translation are included in shareholders’ equity as an element of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and are not hedged.
Assets and liabilities of operations which have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, but which maintain their accounting records in local currency, have their values remeasured into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, except for non-monetary items for which historical rates are used. Exchange gains or losses arising on remeasurement of the values into U.S. dollars are recognized in Cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Exchange gains or losses incurred on transactions conducted by one of our subsidiaries in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are normally reflected in Cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. An exception is made when the transaction is a long-term intercompany loan that is not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future, in which case the exchange gains or losses are included in shareholders’ equity as an element of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
Pre-tax foreign exchange losses included in operating income were $5.2 million in 2015. All foreign exchange derivatives as of October 30, 2015 were in the form of forward exchange contracts executed over the counter. The following table shows the fair value of our forward exchange contracts as of October 30, 2015 in dollar equivalent terms:

Amounts differ from the previously filed quarterly reports due our voluntary change in our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of our expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. See the notes to the financial statements for further information.

(2)
For the quarters ended, January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, the impact of our voluntary change in our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of our expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans increased gross profit by $3.2 million and $6.5 million, operating income by $9.8 million and $8.0 million, net income by $6.9 million and $5.4 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.07 per share in the first quarter of 2015 and $0.05 per share in the first quarter of 2014, respectively.

(3)
For the quarters ended, May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, the impact of our voluntary change in our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of our expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans increased gross profit by $3.2 million and $6.5 million, operating income by $22.6 million and $8.0 million, net income by $17.2 million and $5.4 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.17 per share in the second quarter of 2015 and $0.05 per share in the second quarter of 2014, respectively.

(4)
For the quarters ended, July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, the impact of our voluntary change in our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of our expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans increased gross profit by $3.5 million in 2014, operating income by $8.9 million in 2015 and $5.0 million in 2014, net income by $6.5 million and $3.5 million, and basic earnings per share by $0.07 per share and $0.04 per share, respectively, and diluted earnings per share by $0.06 per share and $0.03 per share, respectively. There was no impact to gross profit in 2015.

(5)
For the quarter ended, October 31, 2014, the impact of our voluntary change in our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of our expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and postretirement benefit plans decreased gross profit by $3.5 million, decreased operating income by $10.6 million, decreased net income by $7.2 million, and decreased basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.07 per share, respectively. Of the impact above, the related impact due to the annual adjustment was additional expense of $9.8 million. The fourth quarter of 2015 also included a mark to market pension and other post-retirement plan adjustment resulting in $63.3 million of expense, in addition to impairment charges of $1.3 billion covering goodwill, other intangibles and certain items of property, plant, and equipment.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Joy Global Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Joy Global Inc. as of October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 30, 2015. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Joy Global Inc. at October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 30, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Joy Global Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 30, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated December 21, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to change its method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets related to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the fourth quarter of the year ended October 30, 2015.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Joy Global Inc.
We have audited Joy Global Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 30, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Joy Global Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As indicated in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Montabert S.A.S., which is included in the 2015 consolidated financial statements of Joy Global Inc. and constituted 3.1% and 4.6% of total and net assets, respectively, as of October 30, 2015 and 1.2% and 4.4% of net sales and net loss, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Joy Global Inc. also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Montabert S.A.S.
In our opinion, Joy Global Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 30, 2015 based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2015 consolidated financial statements of Joy Global Inc., and our report dated December 21, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). As allowed by SEC guidance, management excluded from its assessment Montabert S.A.S., which was acquired in 2015 and constituted 3.1% and 4.6% of total and net assets, respectively, as of October 30, 2015 and 1.2% and 4.4% of net sales and net loss, respectively, for the year then ended. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 30, 2015.
Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of its audit, has issued an attestation report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Description of Business

Joy Global Inc. is a leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of metal and minerals. We manufacture and market original equipment and parts and perform services for both underground and surface mining, as well as certain industrial applications. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals and ores. We operate in two business segments: Underground and Surface. We are a major manufacturer of underground mining machinery for the extraction and haulage of coal and other bedded minerals. We are also a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction and haulage of copper, coal and other minerals and ores. We offer comprehensive direct service, which includes our smart service offerings, near major mining regions worldwide and provide extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in mining. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, and internationally, including facilities in Australia, Canada, China, France, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are as follows:

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation – The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with GAAP. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Joy Global Inc. and its domestic and non-U.S. subsidiaries, all of which are fully consolidated. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Prior period financial information has been adjusted to reflect the fourth quarter fiscal 2015 change in our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, which is a voluntary change in accounting principle that is required to be adopted retrospectively. Refer to the Pension and Postretirement Benefits and Costs section of this footnote for additional information.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the future could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents – All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when issued are considered cash equivalents. These primarily consist of money market funds and, to a lesser extent, certificates of deposit and commercial paper. Cash equivalents were $9.8 million and $20.8 million as of October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, respectively.

Inventories – Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method for all inventories, except for inventories in those jurisdictions for which another method is required by law. Cost includes direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. We evaluate the need to record valuation adjustments for inventory on a regular basis. Inventory in excess of our estimated usage requirements is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Inherent in the estimates of net realizable value are estimates related to our future manufacturing schedules, customer demand, possible alternative uses and ultimate realization of potentially excess inventory.

Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair costs that do not significantly improve the related asset or extend its useful life are charged to expense as incurred. For financial reporting purposes, these assets are depreciated primarily by the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which generally range from 5 to 50 years for land improvements, from 10 to 50 years for buildings, from 3 to 12 years for machinery and equipment and from 2 to 10 years for software. Depreciation expense was $110.9 million, $107.4 million and $99.9 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Depreciation claimed for income tax purposes is computed by accelerated methods.

Long-Lived Assets – Long-lived assets are depreciated or amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, which is principally the straight-line method. We assess the realizability of our held and used long-lived assets by evaluating such assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows related to such assets are less than

F-11

Joy Global Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 30, 2015

the carrying value. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on the fair value of the assets compared to their carrying value.

As of July 31, 2015, we assessed our tangible and intangible finite-lived assets for impairment due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets and their related effect on the global mining investment environment. No impairment was identified related to our finite-lived tangible and intangible assets as of July 31, 2015. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we determined that there was an additional risk that certain tangible and intangible finite-lived assets may not be recoverable due to continued deterioration of our markets. Each asset group was considered and it was determined that the cash flows associated with an asset group in China and a steel mill would be insufficient to support their carrying value.

As a result of this analysis, property, plant and equipment non-cash impairment charges of $42.6 million related to an asset group in China and $19.2 million related to a steel mill were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Underground and Surface segments, respectively. In addition, customer relationship intangible asset non-cash impairment charges of $57.9 million and $2.1 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Underground and Surface segments, respectively. These charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges

No impairment was identified related to our long-lived assets in fiscal 2014 or 2013.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets – Indefinite-lived intangible assets are composed of certain trademarks and are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes occur that suggest an impairment in carrying value, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment by comparing each asset's fair value to its book value. We first determine qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived asset is impaired. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived asset is impaired, then we determine the fair value by using the discounted cash flow model based on royalties estimated to be derived in the future use of the asset were we to license the use of the indefinite-lived asset. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for details regarding the results of our indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing performed in fiscal 2015 and 2013. No impairment was identified related to our indefinite-lived intangible assets in fiscal 2014.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units, which we have identified as our operating segments, and is tested for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to their book value. We generally first determine, based on a qualitative assessment, whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we then determine the fair value of the reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the impairment test continues by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit’s identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole, as if that reporting unit had just been acquired and the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed were being determined initially. If goodwill is impaired, we recognize a non-cash impairment loss based on the amount by which the book value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for details regarding the results of our goodwill impairment testing performed in fiscal 2015. No impairment was identified related to our goodwill in fiscal 2014 or 2013.
The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Qualitative assessments regarding goodwill and other intangible assets involve a high degree of judgment and can entail subjective considerations. The discounted cash flow model involves many assumptions, including operating results forecasts and discount rates. Inherent in the operating results forecasts are certain assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, projected cost saving initiatives and projected long-term growth rates in the determination of terminal values.
Accrued Warranties – We provide for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties to remedy deficiencies of quality or performance of our products. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. These product warranties extend over either a specified period of time, units of production or machine hours depending on the product subject to the warranty. We accrue a provision for estimated future warranty costs based on the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. We

F-12

Joy Global Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 30, 2015

periodically review the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties and adjust the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience as necessary.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits and Costs – In the fourth quarter of 2015, we voluntarily changed our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. We elected to recognize actuarial gains and losses in the statement of operations immediately, as it more clearly depicts the impact of current economic conditions in our consolidated results of operations. This change has been reported through retrospective application of this new policy to all periods presented.

Historically, we deferred actuarial gains and losses from these plans and recognized the financial impact in the statement of operations over future years using a method commonly referred to as the corridor method. Specifically, the net loss (gain) in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market related value of plan assets was amortized on a straight line basis over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan (or over the average life of the participants if all or almost all of the plan participants are inactive). With the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses, actuarial gains and losses from these plans are immediately recognized in our results of operations in an annual adjustment that is recorded in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should a re-measurement event occur. The remaining components of net periodic benefit costs, primarily service and interest costs and the expected return on plan assets, will continue to be recorded on a quarterly basis.

In addition, for purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, we will no longer use an averaging technique for the market-related value of plan assets, but we are voluntarily changing to the actual fair value of plan assets to adjust for changes in actual versus expected rates of return. The impact of this change will be recorded annually as part of the adjustment described above. Collectively, the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses and the immediate recognition of actual versus expected rates of return on plan assets are referred to herein as the "mark to market pension and postretirement plan adjustment."

The mark to market method is preferable to our prior method in that it reflects changes in assumptions and market conditions in the year that they occur versus recognizing them over an extended period of time. The adoption of immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses and the use of the fair value of plan assets are voluntary changes in accounting principle that are required to be adopted retrospectively. Therefore, all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect these changes adopted by the Company as of the October 30,2015 annual measurement date. The Company also considered the impact of the revised pension expense on its capitalized inventory balances, and has retrospectively adjusted such balances accordingly.

The cumulative effect of the change on retained earnings as of October 27, 2012, was a pre-tax reduction of $716.3 million, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income, and therefore, no net impact to shareholders’ equity. The impact of all adjustments made to the financial statements presented is summarized below (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

Consistent with prior periods, pension and other postretirement benefit costs and liabilities are still dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and rates of compensation increases, as discussed below:


F-14

Joy Global Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 30, 2015

Discount rates: We generally estimate the discount rate for pension and other postretirement benefit obligations using a process based on a hypothetical investment in a portfolio of high-quality bonds that approximates the estimated cash flows of the pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. We believe this approach permits a matching of future cash outflows related to benefit payments with future cash inflows associated with bond coupons and maturities.

Expected returns on plan assets: Our expected return on plan assets is derived from reviews of asset allocation strategies and anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, weighted by the allocation of our plan assets. Our analysis gives appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns; however, the assumptions are primarily based on long-term, prospective rates of return.

Mortality rates: Fiscal 2014 mortality rates are based on the IRS prescribed annuitant and non-annuitant mortality for 2014 under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. Fiscal 2015 mortality rates are based on the annuitant and non-annuitant mortality tables (RP-2014) released by the Society of Actuaries late in fiscal 2014, adjusted for the mortality improvement scale (MP-2014), as well as for the Company’s historical plan experience levels. Adoption of these modified tables had a $35.0 million expense impact to our pension and postretirement plans, which was recognized as part of our fourth quarter fiscal 2015 mark to market adjustment. Further, we considered the recently released updates to the 2014 mortality improvement scale, noting that the modifications would not be significant to our assumptions.

Rates of compensation increases: The rates of compensation increases reflect our long-term actual experience and its outlook, including consideration of expected rates of inflation.

As mentioned above, actual results that differ from these assumptions are immediately recognized in our results of operations in an annual adjustment that is recorded in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should a re-measurement event occur. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect our pension and other postretirement plan obligations and future expense.

Foreign Currency Transactions – Assets and liabilities of international operations that have a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and revenue and expense items are translated using weighted average exchange rates. Any adjustments arising on translation are included in shareholders’ equity as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Assets and liabilities of operations which have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, but which maintain their accounting records in local currency, have their values remeasured into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, except for non-monetary items for which historical rates are used. Exchange gains or losses arising on remeasurement of the values into U.S. dollars are recognized in Cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Exchange gains or losses incurred on transactions conducted by one of our subsidiaries in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are normally reflected in Cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. An exception is made when the transaction is a long-term intercompany loan that is not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future, in which case the exchange gains or losses are included in shareholders’ equity as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The pre-tax foreign exchange impact included in operating income was a loss of $5.2 million, a gain of $1.1 million and a loss of $4.4 million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Foreign Currency Hedging and Derivative Financial Instruments – We are exposed to certain foreign currency risks in the normal course of our global business operations. We enter into derivative contracts that are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the risks of certain identified and anticipated transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective operating unit. The types of risks hedged are those arising from the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are for forecasted transactions and committed receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Consequently, any market-related loss on the forward contract would be offset by changes in the value of the hedged items, and, as a result, we are generally not exposed to net market risk associated with these instruments.

Each derivative is designated as either a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or an undesignated instrument. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the heading Other current assets or under the heading Other current liabilities, as appropriate. Cash flows from fair value and cash flow hedges are classified within the same category as the

F-15

Joy Global Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 30, 2015

item being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from undesignated derivative instruments are included in operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative contract is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. This amount is reclassified into the statement of operations on the line associated with the underlying transaction for the periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Ineffectiveness related to these derivative contracts is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge and for derivative contracts entered into to hedge revaluation of net balance sheet exposures in non-functional currency that are not designated as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the heading Cost of sales. This gain or loss is offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of the underlying hedged item.

Revenue Recognition – We recognize revenue on products and services when the following criteria are satisfied: persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, product delivery and transfer of title and risk and rewards has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue on long-term contracts, such as contracts to manufacture mining shovels, draglines, roof support systems and conveyor systems, using the percentage-of-completion method. When using the percentage-of-completion method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Sales and gross profit are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values. Estimated losses are recognized in full when identified.

We have life cycle management arrangements with customers to supply parts and service for terms of 1 to 17 years. These arrangements are established based on the conditions in which the equipment will be operating, the time horizon that the arrangements will cover and the expected operating cycle that will be required for the equipment. Based on this information, a model is created representing the projected costs and revenues of servicing the respective machines over the specified arrangement terms. Accounting for these arrangements requires us to make various estimates, including estimates of the relevant machine’s long-term maintenance requirements. Under these arrangements, customers are generally billed monthly based on hours of operation or units of production achieved by the equipment, with the respective deferred revenues recorded when billed. Revenue is recognized in the period in which parts are supplied or services provided. These arrangements are reviewed quarterly by comparison of actual results to original estimates or most recent analysis, with revenue recognition adjusted appropriately for future estimated costs. If a loss is expected at any time, the full amount of the loss is recognized immediately.

We have certain customer agreements that are considered multiple element arrangements. These agreements primarily consist of the sale of multiple pieces of equipment or equipment with subsequent installation services. These agreements are assessed for the purpose of identifying deliverables and determining whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a standalone basis and whether delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in our control. If those criteria are met, revenue is allocated to each identified unit of accounting based on our estimate of the relative selling prices of the deliverables and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met for each element. The relative selling price is estimated by using recent sales transactions for similar items. The difference between the total of the separate selling prices and the total contract consideration is allocated pro-rata across each of the units of accounting included in the arrangement.

Revenue recognition involves judgments, including assessments of expected returns, the likelihood of nonpayment and estimates of expected costs and profits on long-term contracts. In determining when to recognize revenue, we analyze various factors, including the specifics of the transaction, historical experience, creditworthiness of the customer and current market and economic conditions. Changes in judgments on these factors could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized with a resulting impact on the timing and amount of associated income.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income – Comprehensive (loss) income includes disclosure of financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Our comprehensive (loss) income encompasses net (loss) income, the change in unrecognized prior service costs on our pension and other postretirement obligations, the derivative instrument fair market value adjustment and foreign currency translation. Comprehensive (loss) income is disclosed in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income is disclosed in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and our Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity.

Sales Incentives – We account for cash consideration (such as sales incentives and cash discounts) given to our customers or resellers as a reduction of net sales.

F-16

October 30, 2015


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the age of the receivable and the category of customer. We also establish an additional allowance on a specific account identification basis through a review of several factors, including the aging status of our customers’ accounts, the financial condition of our customers and historical collection experience.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs – We report shipping costs billed to a customer in a sales transaction as net sales. We report the related costs incurred for shipping as cost of sales.

Research and Development Expenses – Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to existing products amounted to $36.2 million, $40.6 million and $49.0 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation We account for awards of stock by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Compensation expense is recognized using the straight line method.

Income Taxes – Deferred taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using current statutory tax rates. Deferred income tax provisions are based on changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period. Additionally, we analyze our ability to recognize the net deferred tax assets created in each jurisdiction in which we operate to determine if valuation allowances are necessary based on the “more likely than not” criteria.

As required under the application of fresh start accounting, the release of pre-emergence tax valuation reserves was not recorded in the statement of operations but instead was treated first as a reduction of excess reorganization value until exhausted, then intangible assets until exhausted, and thereafter reported as additional paid in capital. Consequently, a net tax charge will be incurred in future years when these tax assets are utilized. We will continue to monitor the appropriateness of the existing valuation allowances and determine annually the amount of valuation allowances that are required to be maintained. All future reversals of pre-emergence valuation allowances will be recorded to additional paid in capital.

We estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year on an interim basis. The estimated effective tax rate contemplates the expected jurisdiction where income is earned (e.g., United States compared to non-United States), as well as tax planning strategies. If the actual results are different from these estimates, adjustments to the effective tax rate may be required in the period such determination is made. Additionally, discrete items are treated separately from the effective rate analysis and are recorded separately as an income tax provision or benefit at the time they are recognized. To the extent recognized, these items will impact the effective tax rate in the aggregate but will not adjust the amount used for future periods within the same year.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share – Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, performance shares and restricted stock units, if dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which will require entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The ASU simplifies the current guidance, which requires entities to separately present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The ASU may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The ASU is effective for the Company on October 28, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and the presentation of our financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determined the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The ASU is applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date.

F-17

October 30, 2015

The ASU is effective for the Company on October 29, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires most entities to measure most inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value ("NRV"). This simplifies the evaluation from the current method of lower of cost or market, where market is based on one of three measures (i.e. replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less a normal profit margin). The ASU does not apply to inventories measured under the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method, and defines NRV as the "estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation." The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for the Company beginning on October 28, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. Further, in June 2015, the FASB agreed to clarifying guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission on the presentation of debt issuance costs on revolving debt arrangements, permitting entities to elect that such costs be classified as an asset. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued and entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 29, 2016. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB also issued ASU 2015-04, Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which permits an employer whose fiscal year-end does not coincide with a calendar month end the ability to elect to measure its defined benefit retirement obligations and related plan assets as of the month end that is closest to its fiscal year-end. If elected, this accounting policy is applied consistently on a prospective basis for all plans, with related disclosure of the alternative measurement date used. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted the guidance in fiscal 2015. This guidance did not have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 provides a single principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps are to (i) identify the contracts with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contact, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year and to permit early adoption by entities as of the original effective dates. Considering the one year deferral, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 27, 2018 and the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and the presentation of our financial statements.

Acquisitions
Acquisition of Montabert S.A.S.

On June 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Montabert for approximately $121.5 million, gross of cash acquired of $7.1 million dollars. Montabert specializes in the design, production and distribution of high quality hydraulic rock breakers, pneumatic equipment, drilling attachments, drifters and related parts and tools. This acquisition expands the Company's product and service capabilities for hard rock mining, tunneling and rock excavation, further diversifying our commodity and end market exposures. Montabert's results of operations have been included as part of the Underground segment from the date of the acquisition forward.

In connection with the acquisition, we recorded goodwill of approximately $55.5 million and intangible assets of approximately $35.1 million. The intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships, trade names and patents, which are being

Finite-lived intangible assets

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, which is principally the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

As of July 31, 2015, we assessed our tangible and intangible finite-lived assets for impairment due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets and their related effect on the global mining investment environment. No impairment was identified related to our finite-lived intangible assets as of July 31, 2015. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we determined that there was an additional risk that certain tangible and intangible finite-lived assets may not be recoverable due to continued deterioration of our markets. Each asset group was considered and it was determined that the cash flows of an asset group in China and a steel mill would be insufficient to support their carrying value.

In connection with the evaluation of these asset groups, we developed an estimate of fair value using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions critical to the process included forecasted financial information, discount rates and applicable customer retention rates. This fair value determination was categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 19, Fair Value Measurements, for the definition of Level 3 inputs.

As a result of this analysis, customer relationship non-cash impairment charges of $57.9 million and $2.1 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Underground and Surface segments, respectively. These charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges

No other impairments were identified related to our finite-lived intangible assets as of October 30, 2015.

Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $26.5 million, $26.2 million and $13.6 million, for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Estimated future annual amortization expense is as follows:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes occur that suggest an impairment in carrying value, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate.

We assessed our indefinite-lived trademarks as of July 31, 2015 due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets and their related effect on the global mining investment environment. No impairment was identified related to our indefinite-lived trademarks as of July 31, 2015. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 we re-assessed our indefinite-lived trademarks due to the continued deterioration of our markets, developing an estimate of fair value using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions critical to the process included forecasted financial information, discount rates and royalty rates. The estimates of the fair values of the indefinite-lived trademarks are based on the best information currently available. However, further adjustments may be necessary in the future if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions utilized. This fair value determination was categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 19, Fair Value Measurements, for the definition of Level 3 inputs.

As a result of this analysis, a non-cash impairment charge of $10.8 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by our Underground segment. This charge is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges

In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we reviewed our brand portfolio and developed a strategy to increase the visibility of our core brands in furtherance of our One Joy Global initiative. During this review we determined that the indefinite life assumption was no longer appropriate for most of our previously acquired trademarks. The remaining value of the trademarks that were replaced are being amortized over the new estimated useful life. For those trademarks that were not replaced, our strategy is to co-brand these products, and we revalued these trademarks based on that assumption. The co-branded trademarks continue to have an indefinite life. As a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $155.2 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, of which $130.2 million was recorded by our Underground segment and $25.0 million was recorded by our Surface segment. This charge is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Intangible asset impairment charges. Going forward, the amortization on the remaining carrying value associated with the trademarks that are being replaced is being recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the heading Product development, selling and administrative expenses.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units, and is tested for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value.

As of July 31, 2015, we concluded that an indicator was present that suggested impairment may exist for our goodwill, as our total shareholders’ equity exceeded our market capitalization due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets, their related effect on the global mining investment environment and the resulting impact on our market capitalization. Based on this indicator of impairment, we performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill as of the last day of our fiscal third quarter. We concluded our step one evaluation on our reporting units and determined that the estimated fair value of our Underground reporting unit was lower than the carrying value of the reporting unit. The result of our interim test for the Surface reporting unit was that the fair

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 30, 2015

value of the reporting unit exceeded carrying value. However, given the timing of the decline in our market capitalization, we were unable to complete step two of the Underground goodwill impairment test until we were engaged in the preparation of our annual financial statements. Step two of the analysis requires us to perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for the Underground reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill and to compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the recorded amount of goodwill. Upon completion of step two of our goodwill impairment test, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.2 billion. This impairment charge represents a complete impairment of goodwill in the Underground reporting unit, and it is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the heading Impairment charges.
As of October 30, 2015, we determined there was an indicator of potential goodwill impairment due to the continued deterioration of our markets and the resulting effects on our market capitalization. As a result we performed another interim impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The result of our step one evaluation was that the estimated fair value of the Surface reporting unit again exceeded its carrying value. Although we have concluded there is no impairment on the goodwill of $354.6 million associated with our Surface segment as of year end, we will continue to closely monitor in the future considering the uncertainty in the markets and the continued decline in our stock price after year end. Should there be still further market declines and/or stock price declines in future periods, there is increasing risk that Surface segment goodwill may be impaired. We will continue to update our evaluation as market conditions and the follow on impacts to our share price warrant.
In connection with our goodwill impairment test, we worked with a third party appraisal firm to fair value Underground goodwill using a discounted cash flow model. In connection with obtaining an independent third party valuation, management provided certain information and assumptions that were utilized in the fair value calculation. Assumptions critical to the process included forecasted financial information and discount rates. This fair value determination was categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 19, Fair Value Measurements, for the definition of Level 3 inputs.

The federal current provision includes a $41.8 million benefit for excess foreign tax credits from dividends paid during fiscal 2015. The foreign deferred provision reflects a charge of $34.0 million for the impact of valuation allowances on certain of the China deferred tax assets.

The federal deferred provision also includes $3.3 million of alternative minimum tax carryforwards used in fiscal 2013. During fiscal 2013, we recognized $0.3 million of current tax benefit relating to a tax holiday in China. The Company's Chinese tax holiday expired in fiscal 2014.

At least annually, we reassess our need for valuation allowances and adjust the allowance balances where it is appropriate based on past, current and projected profitability in the various geographic locations in which we conduct business and the available tax strategies. Additionally, the U.S. carryforwards were reduced upon emergence from bankruptcy due to the rules and regulations in the Internal Revenue Code related to cancellation of indebtedness income that is excluded from taxable income. These adjustments are included in the net operating loss values detailed above.

During the year ended October 30, 2015, the Company determined that it was appropriate to establish $34.0 million of valuation allowances against the previously benefitted deferred tax assets of certain subsidiaries in China. During fiscal 2015, the Company recorded tax expense of $41.4 million relating to the establishment of valuation allowances, comprised of $41.7 million of expense for additions and $0.3 million of benefit for releases. During fiscal 2014, the Company recorded tax expense of $10.5 million relating to the establishment of valuation allowances, comprised of $10.7 million of expense for additions and $0.2 million of benefit for releases. During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded tax expense of $9.8 million relating to the establishment of valuation allowances, comprised of $10.1 million of expense for additions and $0.3 million of benefit for releases. Valuation allowances currently recorded that arose in pre-emergence years require us to apply fresh start accounting. As of October 30, 2015, there were $63.3 million of valuation reserves against pre-emergence net operating loss carryforwards.

As of October 30, 2015, U.S. income taxes, net of foreign taxes paid or payable, have not been provided on the undistributed profits of foreign subsidiaries, as all undistributed profits of foreign subsidiaries are deemed to be permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. It is not practical to determine the United States federal income tax liability, if any, which would be payable if such earnings were not permanently reinvested. Such unremitted earnings of subsidiaries, which have been or are intended to be permanently reinvested, are $604.8 million as of October 30, 2015.

Unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:

As of October 30, 2015, $81.8 million of the net unrecognized tax benefit would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. As of October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, total interest of approximately $19.0 million and $15.8 million, respectively, are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other liabilities, while penalties of approximately $42.3 million and $42.4 million are included in the ending net unrecognized tax benefit above. Interest and penalties are classified as Income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. It is expected that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit will decrease by $12.9 million within the next twelve months relating to reserves for which statutes will lapse during fiscal 2016.

With respect to tax years subject to examination by the U.S. taxing authorities, the Company’s tax years prior to 2012 have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service and are closed. Additionally, due to the existence of tax loss carryforwards, the same relative periods exist for U.S. state purposes, although some earlier years also remain open. From a non-U.S. perspective, the major locations in which we conduct business are as follows: United Kingdom – 2012 forward are open for examination; South Africa – 2010 forward are open for examination; Australia – 2012 forward are open for examination; Chile – 2011 forward are open for examination; China – 2010 forward are open for examination; and Canada – 2008 forward are open for examination (2008 through 2013 are currently under audit). There are a number of smaller entities in other countries that generally have open tax years ranging from 3 to 5 years.

Borrowings and Credit Facilities

On December 14, 2015, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement. The amendment to the Credit Agreement increased the consolidated leverage ratio from its current limit of 3.0x beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and continuing through the first quarter of fiscal 2018, with a maximum ratio of 4.5x for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 through the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The amendment also reduced the aggregate revolving commitments of the lenders from $1.0 billion to $850.0 million and added a letter of credit sublimit of $500.0 million. In addition, we also agreed to limit priority debt (secured indebtedness and the unsecured indebtedness of our foreign subsidiaries) to 10% of consolidated net worth and to limi cash dividends to $25.0 million per year in the aggregate. We may continue to request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one week or one, two, three or six

F-25

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company’s credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its “prime rate,” or (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company’s credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders when the consolidated leverage ratio exceeds a stated level amount. As of October 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.

As of October 30, 2015, there was $58.6 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the credit limit, totaled $129.4 million. As of October 30, 2015, there was $812.0 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement would have been lower had the amendment been in effect at year end.

On July 29, 2014, we entered into a term loan agreement which matures July 29, 2019 and provides for a commitment of up to $375.0 million. The Term Loan amended our prior term loan, dated as of June 16, 2011. The Prior Term Loan had been scheduled to mature on July 16, 2016 and provided an initial commitment of $500.0 million, which had been drawn in full in conjunction with our fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies Inc., and had been amortized to $375.0 million at the date of amendment. We utilized the $375.0 million commitment under the Term Loan to repay the balance outstanding under the Prior Term Loan. On December 14, 2015, the Term Loan was amended to be consistent with the revolving Credit Agreement, including with respect to the maximum leverage ratio and restrictions on priority debt and dividends and other restricted payments. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning in fiscal 2016 and contains terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of October 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.

On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 at a discount of $4.2 million in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.

In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036. Interest on the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. The terms of the indenture permit us to redeem some or all of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.3% for the 2016 Notes and 0.375% for the 2036 Notes. In October of fiscal 2015 we redeemed the entire $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a “make whole” premium calculated in accordance with the indenture. This resulted in a $14.3 million loss on early debt retirement, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

Our borrowings also include amounts related to transfers of certain receivables under factoring arrangements with recourse related to our recently acquired French operations.

Direct borrowings and capital lease obligations consist of the following:

Shareholders’ Equity

In August 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of our common stock until August 2016. Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations. During the year ended October 30, 2015, we purchased 954,580 shares of common stock for approximately $50.0 million, all of which occurred in the first quarter. During the year ended October 31, 2014, we purchased 4,712,025 shares of common stock for approximately $269.3 million. Since its inception, the Company has repurchased 9,771,605 shares of common stock under the program for approximately $533.4 million, leaving $466.6 million available under the program.


13.
Share-Based Compensation

Our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) authorizes the grant of up to 10.0 million shares plus canceled and forfeited awards. The Plan allows for the issuance of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, performance shares, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to officers, employees and directors. As of October 30, 2015, none of the options granted qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code. We have historically issued new common stock in order to satisfy share-based payment awards and plan to do so to satisfy future awards.

Total share-based compensation expense recognized for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $30.6 million, $17.7 million and $29.0 million, respectively. The prior year decrease in share-based compensation is the result of the adjustment of forfeiture rates and the reassessment of performance related measures in fiscal 2014. The total share-based compensation expense is reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in operating activities as an add back to net income. The corresponding deferred tax asset recognized related to the share-based compensation expense was $7.8 million, $4.4 million and $8.5 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Stock Options

We have granted non-qualified stock options to purchase our common stock at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant dates. Stock options vest ratably over three years beginning on the one-year anniversary date, and they expire ten years from the grant date. A summary of stock option activity follows:

The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for the respective expected life of the option. The expected volatility is based on a weighted average of historical and implied volatility of our common stock. The expected life is based on historical exercise and cancellation behavior and the projected exercises and cancellations of outstanding stock options. The expected dividend yield is based on the expected annual dividends divided by the grant date market value of our common stock.

As of October 30, 2015, there was $6.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Restricted Stock Units

We grant restricted stock units to certain employees and to all non-employee members of our Board of Directors. The fair value of our restricted stock units is determined based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant and is recognized as expense on a straight line basis over the vesting term.

Restricted stock units granted to employees in fiscal 2015 and 2014 vest over a three-year period with one-third vesting on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted stock units granted to employees prior to fiscal 2014 vest over a five-year period with one-third vesting on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. These restricted stock units provide a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of vested units. These shares are delivered to the employee as the restricted stock units vest.

Restricted stock units granted to non-employee members of our Board of Directors vest one year from the grant date. These restricted stock units provide a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of vested units. The date the common stock is delivered to an individual director depends on the number of restricted stock units that the director has accumulated from prior grants. If a director has not yet accumulated 10,000 restricted stock units, the common stock will be delivered to the director one year after their service on the Board of Directors terminates. If a director has accumulated 10,000 restricted stock units, the common stock is either delivered on the vest date or will be deferred at the discretion of the director. Specific deferral elections are required to be completed prior to each grant.

Dividend equivalents accrue on all restricted stock units and the dividend equivalents vest consistent with the underlying award. In the event of a change in control, the units will be paid out in cash based on the market price of the common stock as of the change in control date.

Performance Shares

The performance share award programs under our stock incentive plans provide long-term incentive compensation opportunities to certain senior executives and other managers. The fair value of our performance shares is determined based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on the underlying shares during the requisite service period, and is recognized as expense on a straight line basis.

Shares of common stock may be earned by the participants under the performance share award programs if at the end of a three-year award cycle our financial performance over the course of the cycle exceeds certain threshold amounts. For our 2015, 2014 and 2013 performance share award programs, the performance measure for executive officers is average return on equity, and the performance measure for all other participants is average diluted earnings per share for the three year cycle from fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2017, fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2013 through fiscal 2015, respectively. Each performance share represents the right to earn one share of common stock.

Awards can range from 0% to 150% (or, in certain cases, 180%) of the target award opportunities, and may be paid out in company stock, cash or a combination of stock and cash as determined by the Human Resources and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. In the event of a change in control, the performance shares are paid out in cash based on the greater of actual performance or the target award. There were no final awards distributed for the fiscal 2013 performance share program in December 2015.

14. Restructuring Charges
During fiscal 2015, in response to the adverse market conditions, the Company made decisions to further implement its cost reduction programs. The 2015 programs, as used herein, refer to costs related to all 2015 restructuring activities. This includes entering into severance and termination agreements and full or partial closures of certain facilities in order to better align the Company's overall cost structure with anticipated levels of future demand. These activities are expected to be fully completed during fiscal 2016.
The Company incurred some immaterial restructuring costs in fiscal 2014. These costs related to decisions that preceded the fiscal 2015 restructuring programs and are therefore not considered to be part of such plan.
Restructuring charges incurred in fiscal 2015 have consisted of employee severance and termination costs and accelerated depreciation. The following table summarizes the total expected costs and the amounts incurred by segment:

Retiree Benefits

The Company and its subsidiaries have a defined contribution plan (401(k) plan) and defined benefit plans (pension and other postretirement benefit plans). Benefits from these plans are based on factors that include various combinations of years of service, fixed monetary amounts per year of service, employee compensation during the last years of employment, the recipient’s social security benefit and pension freeze dates. For our qualified and non-qualified pension plans and the postretirement benefit plans, we have historically used the last Friday in October as our measurement date, which coincides with our fiscal year end. However, in fiscal 2015, we early adopted ASU 2015-04, Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which allowed us to use a measurement date of October 31 on a prospective basis. This did not have a significant impact on our disclosures or amounts recorded in the financial statements.

Defined contribution plans

Substantially every U.S. employee of the Company is eligible to participate in the Company's 401(k) plan. Under the terms of the plan, for eligible employees, the Company matches 25% to 50% of participant salary deferral contributions up to the first 6% of the participant’s compensation. In addition, for eligible employees, the Company contributes a defined contribution of 2% to 5% of eligible employee compensation depending on the employee group. The Company also makes contributions for certain foreign government-mandated contribution retirement plans. The total defined contribution expense was $50.1 million, $57.9 million and $61.6 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 defined contribution expense included $1.8 million, $11.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of costs associated with transitioning certain defined benefit plan participants to a defined contribution plan.

Defined benefit plans

We have both U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans. Our funding policy with respect to qualified pension plans is to contribute annually not less than the minimum required by applicable law and regulation nor more than the amount which can be deducted for income tax purposes. We also have an unfunded nonqualified supplemental pension plan that is based on credited years of service and compensation during the last years of employment.

Certain plans outside the United States which supplement or are coordinated with government plans, many of which require funding through mandatory government retirement or insurance company plans, have pension funds or balance sheet accruals which approximate the actuarially computed value of accumulated plan benefits as of October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014.

Other postretirement benefit plans consist of welfare benefits plans. In 1993, our Board of Directors approved a general approach that culminated in the elimination of all Company contributions towards postretirement healthcare benefits. Increases in costs paid by the Company were capped for certain plans beginning in 1994 and extending through 1998, and Company contributions were eliminated as of January 11, 1999 for most employee groups, excluding certain Underground employees, certain early retirees and specific discontinued operation groups. For certain Underground employees, based on existing plan terms, future eligible retirees will participate in a premium cost-sharing arrangement which is based on age as of March 1, 1993 and position at the time of retirement. Active employees under age 45 as of March 1, 1993 and any new hires after April 1, 1993 will be required to pay 100% of the applicable premium.

As described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, during the fourth quarter of 2015, we voluntarily changed our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. All amounts presented have been adjusted to reflect this new policy.

Total pension expense (income) for all defined benefit plans is $38.6 million, $3.3 million and $(18.5) million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Such amounts are prior to any impact of the costs on our recorded inventory balances.

In fiscal 2015, the $61.9 million market to market adjustment on U.S. plans includes an approximate $35.0 million impact for the application of updated mortality tables, as discussed further in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies. In addition, $15.2 million of previously reported settlement charges related to our U.K. pension schemes have been accordingly reversed upon the voluntary change in our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets.

In fiscal 2014, we substantially completed negotiations with certain of our U.S. bargaining units to freeze their respective defined benefit plans at the end of the calendar year. These actions resulted in a $7.8 million non-cash pension curtailment charge during the year.

The assumed annual rate of increase in per capita cost of covered health care benefits for post-65 medical insurance plans is then assumed to decrease 0.25% per year to an ultimate rate of 5.0%. The assumed annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits is 6.00% for post-65 Medicare supplement plans in fiscal 2015. The assumed annual rate of increase in per capita cost of covered health care benefits for post-65 Medicare Supplement plans is then assumed to decrease 0.25% per year to an ultimate rate of 4.5%. The assumed annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits is 5.00% for retiree drug subsidies in fiscal 2015 and all subsequent years.

The effect of one percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of October 30, 2015 by $0.9 million. The service cost and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year would increase by less than $0.1 million. A one percentage point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rates each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of October 30, 2015 by $0.8 million. The service cost and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year would decrease by less than $0.1 million. Postretirement life insurance benefits have a minimal effect on the total benefit obligation.

The principal assumptions used in determining the funded status and net periodic benefit cost of our pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans are set forth in the following tables. The assumptions for non-U.S. plans were developed on a basis consistent with that for the U.S. plans, adjusted to reflect prevailing economic conditions and interest rate environments.

Significant assumptions used in determining net periodic benefit cost are as follows (in weighted averages):

* Due to the mid-year settlement measurements, the fiscal 2015 weighted average discount rate ranged from 3.50%4.09% throughout the year for the non-U.S. pension plans. Due to the mid-year curtailment measurements, the fiscal 2014 weighted average discount rate ranged from 4.45%4.85% and 4.25%4.45% throughout the year for the U.S. pension plans and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively.

** Due to the mid-year settlement measurements, the fiscal 2015 weighted average expected return on plan assets ranged from 5.65%6.30% for the non-U.S. pension plans. Due to the mid-year curtailment measurements, the fiscal 2014 weighted average expected return on plan assets ranged from 6.25%6.35% for the U.S. pension plans.

The expected rate of return on pension plan assets for the U.S. pension plans is based on the investment policies adopted by our Pension and Investment Committee. We also use the results from a portfolio simulator as input into our decision. The simulator is based on U.S. capital market conditions as of the valuation date and projects returns based on the U.S. pension plans' current asset allocation. The simulation model calculates an expected rate of return for each asset class by forecasting a range of plausible economic conditions. The model starts with the capital market conditions prevailing at the start of the forecast period and trends the rates of return by asset class to its long-term average. A long-term average return is calculated using a blend of historical capital market data and future expectations.

The expected rate of return on non-U.S. pension plans is based on the plan’s current asset allocation policy. An average long-term rate of return is developed for each asset class and the portfolio return represents the weighted average return based on the current asset allocation.

Significant assumptions used in determining benefit obligations are as follows (in weighted averages):

The U.S. plans' assets are invested to maintain funded ratios over the long-term, while managing the risk that funded ratios fall meaningfully below 100%. The Company has been focused on a plan and an objective to achieve an asset and liability duration match so that interim fluctuations in funded status should be limited by increasing the correlation between assets and liabilities. At this time, the plans' portfolio is significantly invested in duration-matched fixed income securities.

The Company's objectives with respect to its global pension plans are (1) to acquire suitable assets of appropriate liquidity, which will meet the cost of the current and future benefits which the plans provide; (2) to limit the risk of the assets failing to meet the liabilities over the long term; and (3) to minimize the long term costs of the plans by maximizing the correlation with plan liabilities. There is no assurance that these objectives will be met.

The accounting guidance on fair value measurements specifies a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques (Level 1, 2 and 3). See Note 18, Fair Value Measurements, for a discussion of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair values are determined as follows:
Equity security values are primarily based on the closing price for identical instruments in active markets or at the bid price for identical instruments in instances in which the security has not traded on the valuation date;
Fixed income security values are primarily based on models that take into consideration such market-based factors as recent sales, risk-free yield curves and prices of similarly rated bonds; and

On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 became law. This Act introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D, as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. We currently sponsor two retiree welfare benefits plans that provide prescription drug benefits to our U.S. retirees.

Derivatives

We are exposed to certain foreign currency risks in the normal course of our global business operations. We enter into derivative contracts that are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the risks of certain identified and anticipated transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective operating unit. The types of risks hedged are those arising from the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are for forecasted transactions and committed receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Consequently, any market-related losses on the forward contract would be offset by changes in the value of the hedged item, and, as a result, we are generally not exposed to net market risk associated with these instruments.

Each derivative is designated as either a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or an undesignated instrument. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the heading Other current assets or under the heading Other accrued liabilities, as appropriate. Cash flows from fair value and cash flow hedges are classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from undesignated derivative instruments are included in operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The total notional amount of our derivatives at October 30, 2015 is $738.1 million.

For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative contract is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. This amount is reclassified into the statement of operations on the line associated with the underlying transaction for the periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for existing cash flow hedges are generally expected to be reclassified into earnings within one year, and all of the existing hedges will be reclassified into earnings by October 2017. Ineffectiveness related to these derivative contracts was not material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, respectively.

For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the heading Cost of sales. For the years ended October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, we recorded a gain of $1.8 million and a loss of $1.2 million, respectively, related to fair value hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of the underlying hedged item.

For derivative contracts entered into to hedge revaluation of net balance sheet exposures in non-functional currency that are not designated as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the heading Cost of sales. For the years ended October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, we recorded a gain of $24.9 million and a gain of $4.7 million, respectively, related to undesignated hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations.

We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the forward contracts. The contract amount, along with other terms of the forward, determines the amount and timing of amounts to be exchanged, and the contract is generally subject to credit risk only when it has a positive fair value.


17.
Operating Leases

We lease certain plant, office and warehouse space as well as machinery, vehicles, data processing and other equipment. Certain leases have renewal options at reduced rates and provisions requiring us to pay maintenance, property taxes and insurance. Amortization of assets reported as capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Generally, all rental payments are fixed. Our assets and obligations under capital lease arrangements are not significant.

Total rental expense under operating leases, excluding maintenance, taxes and insurance, was $44.3 million, $48.0 million, and $47.9 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of October 30, 2015, the future payments for all operating leases with remaining lease terms in excess of one year, excluding maintenance, taxes and insurance, are as follows:

Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed similar to basic (loss) earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, performance shares and restricted stock units, if dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share:

In fiscal 2015, the computation of weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution does not include the effect of stock options, performance shares and restricted stock units because a loss from continuing operations existed and thus the result would have been antidilutive.

Options to purchase a weighted average of 1.8 million and 1.4 million shares were excluded from the calculations of diluted (loss) earnings per share for fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive.

Fair Value Measurements

GAAP establishes a three level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly or quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the instrument where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

GAAP requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value and disclose the fair value of long-term obligations recorded at cost as of October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014. As of October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014 we did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

Derivatives: The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

Term Loan: The fair value of the Term Loan is estimated using discounted cash flows and market conditions.

Senior Notes: The fair market value of the senior notes is estimated based on market quotations of similar instruments at the respective period end.

Credit Agreement: The carrying value of the revolving credit facility approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these borrowings.

Contingent Liabilities
We establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies related to legal claims asserted against us, as required by GAAP. Developments during the course of legal proceedings may affect our assessments and estimates of our contingencies, which in turn may require us to record or change the amount of a reserve, or make a payment that is different than the amount

F-44

Joy Global Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 30, 2015

that we have reserved. In addition, as a normal part of operations, our subsidiaries undertake contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and favorable or unfavorable resolutions may affect the results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe that the outcome of such legal and other matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including approximately 3,512 asbestos and silica related cases), employment and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters and litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business.

As of October 30, 2015, we were contingently liable to banks, financial institutions and others for approximately $141.9 million for outstanding standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees to secure the performance of sales contracts and other guarantees in the ordinary course of business. Of the $141.9 million, approximately $11.6 million relates to surety bonds and $0.9 million relates to outstanding letters of credit or other guarantees issued by non-U.S. banks for non-U.S. subsidiaries under locally provided credit facilities.

In addition, we have received a subpoena from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement concerning our 2012 acquisition of IMM and related accounting matters. We are cooperating with the SEC regarding this investigation, which is ongoing. While it is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of the SEC inquiry, we currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future consolidated results of operation, financial position or liquidity.


21.
Segment Information

We operate in two reportable segments: Underground and Surface. Crushing and conveying operating results related to surface applications are reported as part of the Surface segment, while total crushing and conveying operating results are included with the Underground segment. Eliminations primarily consist of the surface applications of crushing and conveying included in both operating segments. The results of operations for both Montabert and MTI have been included in the Underground segment from the respective acquisition dates forward.

Operating (loss) income of segments does not include interest income and expense, corporate administration expenses, the provision for income taxes or the fourth quarter mark to market adjustment on our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Identifiable assets are those used in our operations in each segment. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, property, plant and equipment and deferred financing costs. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies. Further, the impact of the voluntary changes in accounting for our pension and postretirement benefit costs has been retroactively applied to all periods presented.

During the year, we had one affiliated group of customers whose collective revenues accounted for 11% of our 2015 net sales. Revenue for this customer was recorded in both the Underground and Surface segments. No other customer or affiliated group of customers accounted for 10% or more of our 2015 net sales.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 30, 2015

(c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

As described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, we voluntarily changed our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement plans. The impact of this voluntary change in accounting has been retroactively applied to all periods presented.

Subsidiary Guarantors for Credit Agreement, Term Loan and 2021 Notes

The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information of continuing operations as of October 30, 2015, October 31, 2014 and October 25, 2013 and for the years then ended for: (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and the 2021 Notes issued in October 2011, which include Joy Global Underground Mining LLC, Joy Global Surface Mining Inc, N.E.S. Investment Co., Joy Global Conveyors Inc. and Joy Global Longview Operations LLC (the “Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors”); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries ("Supplemental Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

As described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, we voluntarily changed our method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the calculation of expected return on plan assets for all of our pension and other postretirement plans. The impact of this voluntary change in accounting has been retroactively applied to all periods presented.

Subsequent Event

On December 16, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on January 15, 2016 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on December 30, 2015.

On December 14, 2015, we entered into amendments to our Credit Agreement and Term Loan. The amendment to the Credit Agreement increased the consolidated leverage ratio from its current limit of 3.0x beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and continuing through the first quarter of fiscal 2018, with a maximum ratio of 4.5x for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 through the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The amendment also reduced the amount of aggregate revolving commitments of the lenders from $1.0 billion to $850.0 million and added a letter of credit sublimit of $500.0 million. In addition, we also agreed to limit priority debt (secured indebtedness and the unsecured indebtedness of our foreign subsidiaries) to 10% of consolidated net worth and limit cash dividends to $25.0 million per year in the aggregate. We may continue to request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. The amendment to the Term Loan made corresponding changes to the maximum leverage ratio and restrictions on priority debt and cumulative annual dividends and other restricted payments. For additional information about the amendments to the Credit Agreement and Term Loan, refer to Note 10, Borrowings and Credit Facilities.
