SPX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)
| |
(1) | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Unless otherwise indicated, “we,” “us” and “our” mean SPX Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“SPX”).
We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. The financial statements represent our accounts after the elimination of intercompany transactions and, in our opinion, include the adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation.
We account for investments in unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence but do not have control using the equity method. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we perform a qualitative analysis that considers the design of the VIE, the nature of our involvement and the variable interests held by other parties to determine which party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and which party has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We have an interest in a VIE, in which we are not the primary beneficiary, as a result of the 2016 sale of Balcke Dürr. All other VIEs are considered immaterial, individually and in aggregate, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Wind-Down of the SPX Heat Transfer Business
During the second quarter of 2018, as a continuation of our strategic shift away from power generation end markets, we initiated a plan to wind-down the SPX Heat Transfer business (“Heat Transfer”). In connection with the planned wind-down, we sold the business’s manufacturing facility during the first quarter of 2019 for net cash proceeds of $5.5. As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of $0.3, which is included in “Other income, net.” We anticipate completing the wind-down by the end of the second quarter of 2019.
Change in Segment Reporting Structure
During the fourth quarter of 2018, due, in part, to the certain wind-down activities, and the related decline in volumes, at our South African subsidiary, DBT Technologies (PTY) LTD (“DBT”), and Heat Transfer, we concluded that these operating segments were no longer economically similar to the other operating segments within our Engineered Solutions reportable segment. As such, DBT and Heat Transfer are now being reported, for all periods presented, within an “All Other” category outside of our reportable segments. See Notes 4 and 6 for additional details.
Acquisition of Sabik Marine
On February 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Sabik Marine (“Sabik”), a manufacturer of obstruction lighting products, from Carmanah Technologies Corporation for a purchase price of $77.0, net of cash acquired of $0.6. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at estimates of fair value as determined by management, based on information available and on assumptions as to future operations and are subject to change upon completion of acquisition accounting. The post-acquisition operating results of Sabik are reflected within our Detection and Measurement reportable segment. See Notes 3 and 9 for additional details on the Sabik acquisition.
Acquisition of Cues
On June 7, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Cues, Inc. (“Cues”), a manufacturer of pipeline inspection and rehabilitation equipment, which significantly increases our presence in the pipeline inspection market. The acquisition was completed through the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cues’ parent company for a purchase price of $164.4, net of cash acquired of $20.6. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at estimates of fair value as determined by management, based on information available and on assumptions as to future operations and are subject to change upon completion of acquisition accounting. The post-acquisition operating results of Cues are reflected within our Detection and Measurement reportable segment. See Note 3 for additional details on the Cues acquisition.
Acquisition of Schonstedt
On March 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Schonstedt Instrument Company (“Schonstedt”), a manufacturer and distributor of magnetic locator products used for locating underground utilities and other buried objects, for a purchase price of $16.4, net of cash acquired of $0.3. The post-acquisition operating results of Schonstedt are reflected within our Detection and Measurement reportable segment.
Other
Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year results. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation, including amounts related to the change in the segment reporting structure previously discussed. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations only. See Note 3 for information on discontinued operations.
We establish actual interim closing dates using a fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the first calendar quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2019 are March 30, June 29 and September 28, compared to the respective March 31, June 30 and September 29, 2018 dates. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2019 and will have one more day in the fourth quarter of 2019 than in the respective 2018 periods. We do not believe the one less day during the first quarter of 2019 had a material impact on our consolidated operating results, when compared to the consolidated operating results for the respective 2018 period.
(2) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.
ASC Topic 842
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to existing guidance, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, that requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases. Under the amendment, additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required to allow users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach. The modified retrospective transition approach recognizes any changes as of the beginning of the year of initial application (i.e., as of January 1, 2019) through retained earnings, with no restatement of comparative periods.
The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients upon transition. We elected the “package of practical expedients,” which allowed us to maintain our prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We did not elect the practical expedients for the use-of-hindsight or land easements; the latter not being applicable to us.
The impact of the initial adoption of the standard on our condensed consolidated balance sheet is summarized below, with the most significant impact being the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. Our accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged.
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2018 | | Impact of Adoption of ASC 842 | | January 1, 2019 |
Assets | | | | | |
Other assets | $ | 657.7 |
| | $ | 27.7 |
| | $ | 685.4 |
|
| | | | | |
Liabilities | | | | | |
Accrued expenses | 183.7 |
| | 7.9 |
| | 191.6 |
|
Other long-term liabilities | $ | 817.3 |
| | $ | 19.8 |
| | $ | 837.1 |
|
The adoption of ASC 842 had no impact on our retained deficit and no significant impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 30, 2019.
See Note 5 for further discussion of the post adoption impact of ASC 842.
Other Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition (“ASC 606”) that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The only significant change in revenue recognition as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 related to our power transformer business. Under ASC 606, revenues for our power transformer business
are being recognized over time, while under previous revenue recognition guidance (ASC 605), revenues for power transformers were recognized at a point in time. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective transition approach, which resulted in a decrease of our retained deficit of $4.0.
In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-16, which removes the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The requirements of ASU 2016-16 were to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, which entailed recognizing the initial effect of adoption in retained earnings. We adopted ASU 2016-16 as of January 1, 2018, which resulted in an increase of our retained deficit of $0.2.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires that an entity recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of this amendment on our consolidated financial statements will depend on the results of future goodwill impairment tests.
In August 2017, the FASB issued significant amendments to hedge accounting. The FASB’s new guidance will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2019, with such adoption having no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB amended its guidance for reporting comprehensive income to reflect the potential impacts of the reduction in the corporate tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The amendment gives the option of reclassifying the stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings during the fiscal year or quarter in which the effect of the lower tax rate is recorded. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018, which resulted in an increase of our retained deficit of $4.8.

(3) | ACQUISITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
Acquisition of Sabik
As indicated in Note 1, on February 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Sabik for $77.0, net of cash acquired of $0.6. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at estimates of fair value as determined by management, based on available information and on assumptions as to future operations and are subject to change upon completion of acquisition accounting. We financed the acquisition with available cash and borrowings under our senior credit and trade receivables financing arrangements. For the period February 1, 2019 to March 30, 2019, Sabik recognized revenues and a net loss of $4.3 and $0.1, respectively, with the net loss impacted by charges of $1.1 associated with the excess fair value (over historical cost) of inventory acquired which was subsequently sold during the period. During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we incurred acquisition related costs for Sabik of $0.3, which have been recorded to “Selling, general and administrative” within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The pro forma effects of the Sabik acquisition are not material to our consolidated results of operations.
Acquisition of Cues
As indicated in Note 1, on June 7, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Cues for $164.4, net of cash acquired of $20.6. We financed the acquisition with available cash and borrowings under our senior credit and trade receivables financing arrangements. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at estimates of fair value as determined by management, based on information available and on assumptions as to future operations and are subject to change based on the final assessment and valuation of certain income tax amounts. The following is a summary of the recorded fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Cues as of June 7, 2018:
|
| | | | |
Assets acquired: | | |
Current assets, including cash and equivalents of $20.6 | | $ | 70.4 |
|
Property, plant and equipment | | 7.4 |
|
Goodwill | | 47.8 |
|
Intangible assets | | 79.5 |
|
Other assets | | 2.3 |
|
Total assets acquired | | 207.4 |
|
| | |
Current liabilities assumed | | 7.8 |
|
Non-current liabilities assumed | | 14.6 |
|
| | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 185.0 |
|
The identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of a trademark, customer backlog, customer relationships, and technology of $27.6, $0.8, $42.6, and $8.5, respectively, with such amounts based on an assessment of the related fair values. We are amortizing the customer backlog, customer relationships, and technology assets over 0.5, 12.0, and 11.0 years, respectively.
We acquired gross receivables of $13.6, which had a fair value at the acquisition date of $13.2 based on our estimates of cash flows expected to be recovered.
The qualitative factors that comprise the recorded goodwill include expected synergies from combining our existing inspection equipment operations with those of Cues, expected market growth for Cues’ existing operations, and various other factors. We expect none of this goodwill or the intangible assets described above to be deductible for tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as if the acquisition of Cues had taken place on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of our consolidated results of operations that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the date presented, and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations. The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable; however, these results do not include any anticipated cost savings or expenses of the planned integration of Cues. These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include additional interest expense on the borrowings required to finance the acquisition, additional depreciation and amortization expense associated with fair value adjustments to the acquired property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the removal of professional fees incurred in connection with the transaction, and the related income tax effects.

Acquisition of Schonstedt
As indicated in Note 1, on March 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Schonstedt for $16.4, net of cash acquired of $0.3 , which included an additional amount paid during the three months ended June 30, 2018 of $0.1 related to the settlement of the agreed-upon working capital as of the acquisition date. The pro forma effects of the Schonstedt acquisition are not material to our consolidated results of operations.

(4) REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS
Disaggregated Revenues
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by major product line and based on the timing of recognition for each of our reportable segments and other operating segments, as we believe such disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are effected by economic factors, with such disaggregation presented below for the three months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018:

Contract Balances
Our customers are invoiced for products and services at the time of delivery or based on contractual milestones, resulting in outstanding receivables with payment terms from these customers (“Contract Accounts Receivable”). In some cases, the timing of revenue recognition, particularly for revenue recognized over time, differs from when such amounts are invoiced to customers, resulting in a contract asset (revenue recognition precedes the invoicing of the related revenue amount) or a contract liability (payment from the customer precedes recognition of the related revenue amount). Contract assets and liabilities are generally classified as current. On a contract-by-contract basis, the contract assets and contract liabilities are reported net within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our contract balances consisted of the following as of March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Contract Balances | March 30, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 | | Change |
Contract Accounts Receivable (1) | $ | 242.6 |
| | $ | 263.9 |
| | $ | (21.3 | ) |
Contract Assets | 68.9 |
| | 91.2 |
| | (22.3 | ) |
Contract Liabilities - current | (84.0 | ) | | (79.5 | ) | | (4.5 | ) |
Contract Liabilities - non-current (2) | (2.0 | ) | | (2.1 | ) | | 0.1 |
|
Net contract balance | $ | 225.5 |
| | $ | 273.5 |
| | $ | (48.0 | ) |
_____________________(1) Included in “Accounts receivable, net” within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Included in “Other long-term liabilities” within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The $48.0 decrease in our net contract balance from December 31, 2018 to March 30, 2019 was due primarily to cash payments received from customers during the period, partially offset by revenue recognized during the period.
During the first quarter of 2019, we recognized revenues of $27.4 related to our contract liabilities at December 31, 2018.
Performance Obligations
As of March 30, 2019, the aggregate amount allocated to remaining performance obligations was $81.7. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 53% and 69% of remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remaining recognized thereafter.
Variable Consideration
Our recorded cumulative revenue associated with the large power projects in South Africa includes amounts of variable consideration related to claims and unapproved change orders. As indicated in Note 15, during February, March, and April of 2019, we received a number of claims from the prime contractors on these projects asserting various amounts of damages. In consideration of these recent claims (including the magnitude of the claims and claims in areas that had not been previously identified by the prime contractors), and in accordance with ASC 606, we analyzed the risk of a significant revenue reversal associated with the amount of variable consideration noted above. Based on such analysis, we reduced the amount of cumulative revenue associated with the variable consideration on the large power projects in South Africa by $17.5 during the three months ended March 30, 2019, as it was no longer probable that such amounts of revenue would not be reversed.
At March 30, 2019, our cumulative recognized revenue related to the variable consideration on the large power projects in South Africa, after the reduction noted above, totaled $19.9. We have recognized revenue associated with these claims, along with certain unapproved change orders, to the extent we have an enforceable right to the claim or change order, the amount can be reliably estimated, and it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. While we believe these amounts are recoverable under the provisions of the related contracts, actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates, which could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations.
(5) LEASES
As indicated in Note 2, effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 under the modified retrospective transition approach. As a result, for periods prior to 2019, leases continue to be presented based on prior guidance. Summarized below is our policy for leases under ASC 842, as well as the various other disclosures required by ASC 842.
We elected to account for lease agreements with lease and non-lease components as a single component for all leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We review if an arrangement is a lease at inception and conclude whether the contract contains an identified asset if we have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefit and direct the use of the asset. Operating leases with ROU assets are reflected within “Other assets,” “Accrued expenses,” and “Other long-term liabilities” within our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in “Property, plant and equipment,” “Current maturities of long-term debt,” and “Long-term debt.”
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and the related liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. These payments include renewal options when reasonably certain to be exercised, and exclude termination options. As none of our leases provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments and excludes lease incentives.
We have operating and finance leases for facilities, equipment, and vehicles. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 10 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some of which include options to terminate the lease within one year. We rent or sublease certain space within owned facilities to third parties under operating leases, with the impact of these lease arrangements being immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
|
| | | | |
| The components of lease expense for the three months ended March 30, 2019 were as follows:
|
|
| | |
|
| Operating lease cost (1) | $ | 3.2 |
|
| Variable lease cost | $ | 0.1 |
|
| | |
| Finance lease cost: | |
| Amortization of right-of-use assets | $ | 0.3 |
|
| Interest on lease liabilities | — |
|
| Total finance lease cost | $ | 0.3 |
|
_________________________(1) Includes short-term lease cost of $0.8 for the three months ended March 30, 2019.
|
| | | | |
| Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the three months ended March 30, 2019 was as follows:
|
|
| | |
| Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: | |
|
| Operating cash flow from operating leases | $ | 2.4 |
|
| Operating cash flows from finance leases | — |
|
| Financing cash flows from finance leases | 0.3 |
|
| Non-cash activities: | |
| Operating lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease obligations | 0.9 |
|
| Finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease obligations | 0.2 |
|
|
| | | | | | |
Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases as of March 30, 2019 was as follows:
|

Finance lease non-current liabilities | | 1.5 |
| | Long-term debt |
Total finance lease liabilities | | $ | 2.5 |
| | |
|
| | |
| The weighted average remaining lease terms (years) of our leases as of March 30, 2019 were as follows:
|
|
| | |
| Operating Leases | 5.2 |
| Finance Leases | 2.9 |
The discount rate utilized to determine the present value of lease payments over the lease term is our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date. In developing the incremental borrowing rate, we considered the interest rate that reflects a term similar to the underlying lease term on a fully collateralized basis. We concluded to apply the incremental borrowing rate at a consolidated portfolio level using a five year term, as the results did not materially differ upon further stratification. The weighted-average discount for both our operating and finance leases was 3.8% at March 30, 2019.
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
The future minimum payments under our operating and finance leases were as follows as of March 30, 2019: |

(1) | The identifiable intangible assets associated with the Sabik acquisition consist of customer backlog, customer relationships, definite lived trademarks, and technology of $0.4, $16.3, $0.2 and $9.1, respectively. |
| |
(2) | Changes during the three months ended March 30, 2019 related primarily to the acquisition of Sabik trademarks of $9.0. |
In connection with the acquisition of Sabik, which has determinable lived intangibles as noted above, we updated our estimated annual amortization expense related to intangible assets to approximately $7.7 for the full year 2019 and for each of the five years thereafter.
At March 30, 2019, the net carrying value of intangible assets with determinable lives consisted of $3.2 in the HVAC reportable segment and $81.8 in the Detection and Measurement reportable segment. At March 30, 2019, trademarks with indefinite lives consisted of $89.3 in the HVAC reportable segment, $48.5 in the Detection and Measurement reportable segment, and $9.1 in the Engineered Solutions reportable segment.
We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter in conjunction with our annual financial planning process, with such testing based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test goodwill for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indication of impairment has occurred between annual testing dates. Such indication may include: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; unanticipated competition; and a more likely than not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit.
We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis, if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair values of our trademarks are determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions (fair value based on unobservable inputs - Level 3, as defined in Note 17). The primary basis for these projected revenues is the annual operating plan for each of the related businesses, which is prepared in the fourth quarter of each year.

___________________________
| |
(1) | The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 1.25% of the initial loan amount of $350.0, beginning in the first quarter of 2019, with the remaining balance payable in full on December 19, 2022. Balances are net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.7 and $1.9 at March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. |
| |
(2) | Under this arrangement, we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $50.0, as available. At March 30, 2019, we had $5.3 of available borrowing capacity under this facility after giving effect to outstanding borrowings of $34.0. Borrowings under this arrangement are collateralized by eligible trade receivables of certain of our businesses. |
| |
(3) | Primarily includes balances under a purchase card program of $2.5 and $2.5, capital lease obligations of $2.5 and $1.8, and borrowings under a line of credit in China of $3.0 and $0.0, at March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The purchase card program allows for payment beyond the normal payment terms for goods and services acquired under the program. As this arrangement extends the payment of these purchases beyond their normal payment terms through third-party lending institutions, we have classified these amounts as short-term debt. |
| |
(4) | “Other” primarily includes debt assumed, foreign currency translation on any debt instruments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and the impact of amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the term loan. |
Senior Credit Facilities
A detailed description of our senior credit facilities is included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At March 30, 2019, we had $30.7 and $116.0 of outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit and our foreign credit instrument facilities of our senior credit agreement, respectively.
The weighted-average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under our senior credit agreement was approximately 4.0% at March 30, 2019.
At March 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants of our senior credit agreement.
| |
(13) | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Interest Rate Swaps
On March 8, 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swaps”) to hedge the interest rate risk on the variable interest rate borrowings under our senior credit agreement. The Swaps, which we have designated and are accounting for as cash flow hedges, had an initial notional amount of $260.0 and maturities through December 2021 and effectively convert a portion of the borrowings under our senior credit agreement to a fixed rate of 2.535%, plus the applicable margin. As of March 30, 2019, the aggregate notional amounts of the Swaps was $256.8. As of March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Swaps were $1.0 (long-term liability) and $0.2 (long-term asset), respectively. The unrealized gain (loss), net of tax, recorded in AOCI was $(0.7) and $0.2 at March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We reclassify AOCI associated with our Swaps into earnings as a component of interest expense when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings.
Currency Forward Contracts and Currency Forward Embedded Derivatives
From time to time, we enter into forward contracts to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries (“FX forward contracts”). In addition, some of our contracts contain currency forward embedded derivatives (“FX embedded derivatives”), because the currency of exchange is not “clearly and closely” related to the functional currency of either party to the transaction. Certain of our FX forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings, but are included in AOCI. These changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings as a component of revenues or cost of products sold, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. In addition, if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative change in the derivatives’ fair value is recorded as a component of “Other income (expense), net” in the period in which the transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring.
We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $20.2 and $14.4 outstanding as of March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, with all of the $20.2 scheduled to mature within one year. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $0.4 at March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, with all of the $0.4 scheduled to mature within one year. There were no unrealized gains or losses recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts as of March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The fair value of our FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivative instruments were not material in relation to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Commodity Contracts
From time to time, we enter into commodity contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials. At March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding notional amount of commodity contracts was 3.2 and 3.9 pounds of copper, respectively. We designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges and, to the extent these commodity contracts are effective in offsetting the variability of the forecasted purchases, the change in fair value is included in AOCI. We reclassify AOCI associated with our commodity contracts to cost of products sold when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of these contracts were $0.3 (current asset) and $1.0 (current liability), respectively. The unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, recorded in AOCI were $0.2 and $(0.8) as of March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized gains as of March 30, 2019 to earnings over the next 12 months.
(14) EQUITY AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
Income Per Share
The following table sets forth the number of weighted-average shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted income per share:
|
| | | | | |
| Three months ended |
| March 30, 2019 | | March 31, 2018 |
Weighted-average number of common shares used in basic income per share | 43.618 |
| | 42.772 |
|
Dilutive securities — Employee stock options and restricted stock units | 1.262 |
| | 1.581 |
|
Weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive securities used in diluted income per share | 44.880 |
| | 44.353 |
|
The weighted-average number of restricted stock shares/units and stock options excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because the assumed proceeds for these instruments exceed the average market value of the underlying common stock for the related period was 0.301 and 0.973, respectively, for the three months ended March 30, 2019 and 0.286 and 0.864, respectively, for the three months ended March 30, 2018.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Long-term incentive compensation awards may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors. A detailed description of the awards granted prior to 2019 is included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Awards granted on February 21, 2019 to executive officers and other members of senior management were comprised of performance stock units (“PSU’s”), stock options, and time-based restricted stock units (“RSU’s”), while other eligible employees were granted RSU’s and PSU’s. The PSU’s are eligible to vest at the end of a three-year performance period, with performance based on the total return of our stock over the three-year performance period against a peer group within the S&P 600 Capital Goods Index. Stock options and RSU’s vest ratably over the three-year period subsequent to the date of grant.
Non-employee directors receive annual long-term incentive awards at the time of our annual meeting of stockholders, with the 2019 meeting scheduled for May 9, 2019.
Compensation expense within income from continuing operations related to long-term incentive awards totaled $3.5 and $3.9 for the three months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The related tax benefit was $0.9 and $1.0 for the three months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.
PSU’s and RSU’s
We use the Monte Carlo simulation model valuation technique to determine the fair value of our restricted stock units that contain a market condition (i.e., the PSU’s). The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award and calculates the fair value of each PSU.
The following table summarizes the PSU and RSU activity from December 31, 2018 through March 30, 2019:
|
| | | | | | |
| Unvested PSU’s and RSU’s, | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share |
Outstanding at December 31, 2018 | 0.652 |
| | $ | 24.65 |
|
Granted | 0.394 |
| | 40.47 |
|
Vested | (0.430 | ) | | 18.26 |
|
Forfeited | (0.002 | ) | | 35.19 |
|
Outstanding at March 30, 2019 | 0.614 |
| | 36.15 |
|
As of March 30, 2019, there was $16.3 of unrecognized compensation cost related to PSU’s and RSU’s. We expect this cost to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Stock Options
On February 21, 2019, we granted 0.186 stock options, all of which were outstanding (but not exercisable) as of March 30, 2019. The exercise price per share of these options is $36.51 and the maximum contractual term of these options is 10 years.
The fair value per share of the stock options granted on February 21, 2019 was $13.31. The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
|
| | |
Annual expected stock price volatility | 32.70 | % |
Annual expected dividend yield | — | % |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.53 | % |
Expected life of stock option (in years) | 6.0 |
|
Annual expected stock price volatility is based on a weighted average of SPX’s stock volatility since the spin-off of SPX FLOW, Inc. on September 26, 2015, and an average of the most recent six-year historical volatility of a peer company group. There is no annual expected dividend yield as we discontinued dividend payments in 2015 and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The average risk-free interest rate is based on the five-year and seven-year treasury constant maturity rates. The expected option life is based on a three-year pro-rata vesting schedule and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.
As of March 30, 2019, there was $3.3 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. We expect this cost to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

(15) | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS |
General
Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business have been asserted or are pending against us or certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, “claims”). These claims relate to litigation matters (e.g., class actions and contracts, intellectual property, and competitive claims), environmental matters, product liability matters (predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials), and other risk management matters (e.g., general liability, automobile, and workers’ compensation claims). Additionally, we may become subject to other claims of which we are currently unaware, which may be significant, or the claims of which we are aware may result in our incurring significantly greater loss than we anticipate. While we (and our subsidiaries) maintain property, cargo, auto, product, general liability, environmental, and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and have acquired rights under similar policies in connection with acquisitions that we believe cover a significant portion of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., in the case of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. Also, while we believe we are entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures.
Our recorded liabilities related to these matters totaled $619.9 (including $574.0 for asbestos product liability matters) and $631.7 (including $587.5 for asbestos product liability matters) at March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Of these amounts, $591.4 and $600.3 are included in “Other long-term liabilities” within our condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, with the remainder included in “Accrued expenses.” The liabilities we record for these claims are based on a number of assumptions, including historical claims and payment experience and, with respect to asbestos claims, actuarial estimates of the future period during which additional claims are reasonably foreseeable. While we base our assumptions on facts currently known to us, they entail inherently subjective judgments and uncertainties. As a result, our current assumptions for estimating these liabilities may not prove accurate, and we may be required to adjust these liabilities in the future, which could result in charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Our asbestos-related claims are typical in certain of the industries in which we operate or pertain to legacy businesses we no longer operate. It is not unusual in these cases for fifty or more corporate entities to be named as defendants. We vigorously defend these claims, many of which are dismissed without payment, and the significant majority of costs related to these claims have historically been paid pursuant to our insurance arrangements. During the three months ended March 30, 2019, our payments for asbestos-related matters, net of insurance recoveries of $11.2, were $2.8. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, our insurance recoveries for asbestos-related matters, net of payments of $8.8, were $3.7. A significant increase in claims, costs and/or issues with existing insurance coverage (e.g., dispute with or insolvency of insurer(s)) could have a material adverse impact on our share of future payments related to these matters, and, as such, have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
We have recorded insurance recovery assets associated with the asbestos product liability matters, with such amounts totaling $530.7 and $541.9 at March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and included in “Other assets” within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets represent amounts that we believe we are or will be entitled to recover under agreements we have with insurance companies. The assets we record for these insurance recoveries are based on a number of assumptions, including the continued solvency of the insurers, and are subject to a variety of uncertainties. Our current assumptions for estimating these assets may not prove accurate, and we may be required to adjust these assets in the future, which could result in additional charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
During the three months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, there were no changes in estimates associated with the liabilities and assets related to our asbestos product liability matters.
Large Power Projects in South Africa
Overview - Since 2008, our South African subsidiary, DBT, has been executing contracts on two large power projects in South Africa (Kusile and Medupi). Over such time, the business environment surrounding these projects has been difficult, as DBT, along with many other contractors on the projects, have experienced delays, cost over-runs, and various other challenges associated with a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, prime contractors, various subcontractors (including DBT and its subcontractors), and various suppliers. DBT has completed the majority of its contractual scope of work on the projects and we believe its remaining scope of work will be substantially complete by the end of 2019.
The challenges related to these projects have resulted in (i) significant adjustments to our revenue and cost estimates for the projects, (ii) DBT’s submission of numerous change orders to the prime contractors, (iii) various claims and disputes between DBT and other parties involved with the projects (e.g., prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, etc.), and (iv) the possibility that DBT may become subject to additional claims, which could be significant. It is possible that some outstanding claims could
be resolved in 2019, while others may not be resolved until after the prime contractors complete their scopes of work. Our future financial position, operating results, and cash flows could be materially impacted by the resolution of current and any future claims.
Claims by DBT - DBT has made numerous claims against the two prime contractors on the projects, Alstom S&E (PTY) LTD (“Alstom/GE”) and Mitsubishi-Hitachi Power Systems Africa (PTY) LTD (“MHPSA”). Most of these claims have been submitted to dispute adjudication processes as required under the relevant contracts. As of March 30, 2019, the recorded cumulative revenues related to these claims, as well as certain unapproved change orders, totaled $19.9 (see Note 4 for further discussion). It is possible that recovery on these claims and unapproved change orders could be delayed as a result of current and potential future claims by the prime contractors against DBT (see below for further discussion). In addition to existing asserted claims, DBT may have additional claims and rights to recovery based on its remaining performance under the contracts and actions taken by either Alstom/GE or MHPSA.
Claims by Prime Contractors - In February and March of 2019, DBT received notifications of intent to claim liquidated damages totaling South African Rand 277.5 (or $19.0) from Alstom/GE alleging that DBT failed to meet certain project milestones related to construction of the air-cooled condensers on the Kusile project. DBT has numerous defenses against these claims and, thus, we do not believe that DBT has a probable loss associated with these claims. As such, no loss has been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these claims. Although it is reasonably possible that some loss may be incurred in connection with these claims, we currently are unable to estimate the potential loss or range of potential loss.
In April 2019, DBT received notifications of intent to claim liquidated damages totaling South African Rand 264.4 (or $18.1) from MHPSA alleging that DBT failed to meet certain project milestones related to the construction of the filters for both the Kusile and Medupi projects. DBT has numerous defenses against these claims and, thus, we do not believe that DBT has a probable loss associated with these claims. As such, no loss has been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these claims. Although it is reasonably possible that some loss may be incurred in connection with these claims, we currently are unable to estimate the potential loss or range of potential loss.
On February 26, 2019, DBT received notification of an interim claim consisting of both direct and consequential damages from MHPSA alleging, among other things, that DBT (i) provided defective product and (ii) failed to meet certain project milestones. We believe the notification is unsubstantiated and the vast majority of the claimed damages are prohibited under the relevant contracts. Therefore, we believe any loss for these claimed damages is remote. For the remainder of the claims, which largely appear to be direct in nature (approximately South African Rand 948.0 or $65.0), DBT has numerous other defenses and, thus, we believe that DBT’s probable loss associated with these claims has been appropriately reflected in provisions established in prior periods and included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. It is reasonably possible that DBT’s ultimate loss could exceed the provisions that have been recorded, but we currently cannot estimate the potential additional loss, or the range of the potential additional loss, associated with these claims due to the (i) lack of support provided by MPHSA for these claims; (ii) complexity of contractual relationships between the end customer, prime contractor, and DBT; (iii) legal interpretation of the contract provisions and application of South African common law to the contracts; and (iv) unpredictable nature of any dispute resolution processes that may occur in connection with these claims.
Bank Bonds and Guarantees - In connection with these projects, we have issued, in favor of the prime contractors, bonds totaling $56.9 and an additional bond totaling $22.4 with more stringent payment conditions. In the event that the prime contractors were to receive payment on a portion, or all, of these bonds, we would be required to reimburse the bank. In addition to these bonds, SPX Corporation has guaranteed DBT’s performance on these projects.
Claims by Subcontractor - On October 30, 2018, a non-governmental business adjudicator in South Africa provided a decision on certain claims made against DBT by one of its subcontractors. As part of its decision, the adjudicator concluded that the subcontractor was entitled to payment of South African Rand 256.0 (or $17.5). We believe this decision is invalid on numerous bases. Specifically, we believe, among other things, that these and other claims were previously settled and satisfied by way of a 2015 amendment to the contract between DBT and the subcontractor. Therefore, DBT is pursuing all available legal recourse in the matter, including referring the matter to both an arbitration process and court proceedings. Based on the reasons stated above, we have concluded that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred with respect to this matter and, therefore, a loss has not been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
On March 4, 2019, an arbitration panel accepted jurisdiction of the matter allowing it to proceed through an arbitration process.
Noncontrolling Interest in South African Subsidiary
DBT has a Black Economic Empowerment shareholder (the “BEE Partner”) that holds a 25.1% noncontrolling interest in DBT. Under the terms of the shareholder agreement between the BEE Partner and SPX Technologies (PTY) LTD (“SPX Technologies”), the BEE Partner had the option to put its ownership interest in DBT to SPX Technologies, the majority shareholder
of DBT, at a redemption amount determined in accordance with the terms of the shareholder agreement (the “Put Option”). The BEE Partner notified SPX Technologies of its intention to exercise the Put Option and, on July 6, 2016, an Arbitration Tribunal declared that the BEE Partner was entitled to South African Rand 287.3 in connection with the exercise of the Put Option, having not considered an amount due from the BEE Partner under a promissory note of South African Rand 30.3 held by SPX Technologies. As a result, we have reflected the net redemption amount of South African Rand 257.0 (or $17.6 and $17.7 at March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively) within “Accrued expenses” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with the related offset recorded to “Paid-in capital” and “Accumulated other comprehensive income.”
In August 2016, SPX Technologies applied to the High Court of South Africa (the “Court”) to have the Arbitration Tribunal’s ruling set aside. On January 22, 2018, the Court ruled in SPX Technologies’ favor and set aside the Arbitration Tribunal’s ruling. This ruling by the Court is subject to appeal by the BEE Partner. The BEE Partner appealed the decision and SPX Technologies continues to assert all legal defenses available to it. We expect the appeals court to hear this matter in late 2019.
Litigation Matters
We are subject to other legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. We believe these matters are either without merit or of a kind that should not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, we cannot assure you that these proceedings or claims will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
Our operations and properties are subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements relating to environmental protection. It is our policy to comply fully with all applicable requirements. As part of our effort to comply, we have a comprehensive environmental compliance program that includes environmental audits conducted by internal and external independent professionals, as well as regular communications with our operating units regarding environmental compliance requirements and anticipated regulations. Based on current information, we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and we are not aware of any violations that could have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our business, financial condition, and results of operations or cash flows. As of March 30, 2019, we had liabilities for site investigation and/or remediation at 29 sites (28 sites at December 31, 2018) that we own or control, or formerly owned and controlled. In addition, while we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover the costs of site investigation and/or remediation, we cannot provide assurance that new matters, developments, laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations will not materially affect our business or operations in the future.
Our environmental accruals cover anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation, and maintenance of clean-up sites. Our estimates are based primarily on investigations and remediation plans established by independent consultants, regulatory agencies and potentially responsible third parties. Accordingly, our estimates may change based on future developments, including new or changes in existing environmental laws or policies, differences in costs required to complete anticipated actions from estimates provided, future findings of investigation or remediation actions, or alteration to the expected remediation plans. It is our policy to revise an estimate once the revision becomes probable and the amount of change can be reasonably estimated. We generally do not discount our environmental accruals and do not reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries. We take into account third-party indemnification from financially viable parties in determining our accruals where there is no dispute regarding the right to indemnification.
In the case of contamination at offsite, third-party disposal sites, as of March 30, 2019, we have been notified that we are potentially responsible and have received other notices of potential liability pursuant to various environmental laws at 15 sites at which the liability has not been settled, of which 11 sites have been active in the past few years. These laws may impose liability on certain persons that are considered jointly and severally liable for the costs of investigation and remediation of hazardous substances present at these sites, regardless of fault or legality of the original disposal. These persons include the present or former owners or operators of the site and companies that generated, disposed of or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances at the site. We are considered a “de minimis” potentially responsible party at most of the sites, and we estimate that our aggregate liability, if any, related to these sites is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We conduct extensive environmental due diligence with respect to potential acquisitions, including environmental site assessments and such further testing as we may deem warranted. If an environmental matter is identified, we estimate the cost and either establish a liability, purchase insurance or obtain an indemnity from a financially sound seller; however, in connection with our acquisitions or dispositions, we may assume or retain significant environmental liabilities, some of which we may be unaware. The potential costs related to these environmental matters and the possible impact on future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of government laws and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and effectiveness of various clean-up technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other types of recovery, and the questionable level of our responsibility. We record a liability when it is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
In our opinion, after considering accruals established for such purposes, the cost of remedial actions for compliance with the present laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment are not expected to have a material impact, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Self-insured Risk Management Matters
We are self-insured for certain of our workers’ compensation, automobile, product and general liability, disability and health costs, and we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liability. Our accruals for risk management matters are determined by us, are based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported, and generally are not discounted. We consider a number of factors, including third-party actuarial valuations, when making these determinations. We maintain third-party stop-loss insurance policies to cover certain liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts. The insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against loss exposure.
Uncertain Tax Benefits
As of March 30, 2019, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $20.3 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $13.9). Of these net unrecognized tax benefits, $10.2 would impact our effective tax rate from continuing operations if recognized.
We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax provision. As of March 30, 2019, gross accrued interest totaled $4.1 (net accrued interest of $3.1). As of March 30, 2019, we had no accrual for penalties included in our unrecognized tax benefits.
Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, we believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $4.0. The previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax matters including transfer pricing and various state matters.
Other Tax Matters
For the three months ended March 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax provision of $4.6 on $5.2 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 88.5%. This compares to an income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $4.1 on $16.5 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 24.8%. The most significant items impacting the income tax provision for the first quarter of 2019 were (i) foreign losses for which no foreign tax benefit was recognized as future realization of any such foreign tax benefit is considered unlikely and (ii) $1.2 of excess tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation awards that vested during the quarter. The most significant items impacting the income tax provision for the first quarter of 2018 were (i) $1.5 of tax charges related to the Act and (ii) $0.8 of excess tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation awards that vested during the quarter.
We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential uncertain positions when we determine that an uncertain position meets the criteria of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded in “Income taxes payable” and “Deferred and other income taxes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the expectation as to the timing of when the matters will be resolved. As events change and resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) currently is performing an audit of our 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns. With regard to all open tax years, we believe any contingencies are adequately provided for.
State income tax returns generally are subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing the respective tax returns. The impact on such tax returns of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination. We believe any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.
We have various foreign income tax returns under examination. The most significant of these are in Germany for the 2010 through 2014 tax years. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.
An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the quarter and year in which an adjustment is recorded or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| |
• | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
| |
• | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| |
• | Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
There were no changes during the periods presented to the valuation techniques we use to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. There were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy for the periods presented.
Valuation Methodologies Used to Measure Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Parent Guarantees and Bonds Associated with Balcke Dürr — In connection with the 2016 sale of Balcke Dürr, existing parent company guarantees and bank surety bonds, which totaled approximately Euro 79.0 and Euro 79.0, respectively, at the time of sale (and Euro 31.7 and Euro 18.1, respectively, at March 30, 2019) will remain in place through each instrument’s expiration date, with such expiration dates occurring through 2022. These guarantees and bonds provide protections for Balcke Dürr customers in regard to advance payments, performance, and warranties on projects in existence at the time of sale. In addition, certain bonds relate to lease obligations and foreign tax matters in existence at the time of sale. Balcke Dürr and the acquirer of Balcke Dürr have provided us an indemnity in the event that any bank guarantees or bonds are called. Also, at the time of sale, Balcke Dürr provided cash collateral of Euro 4.0 and mutares AG, an affiliate of the acquirer of Balcke Dürr, provided a guarantee of Euro 5.0 as a security for the above indemnifications (Euro 3.0 and Euro 5.0, respectively, at March 30, 2019). In connection with the sale, we recorded a liability for the estimated fair value of the guarantees and bonds and an asset for the estimated cash collateral and indemnities provided. Summarized below are changes in the liability and asset during the three months ended March 30, 2019, and March 31, 2018.

___________________________ | |
(1) | In connection with the sale, we estimated the fair value of the existing parent company guarantees and bank and surety bonds considering the probability of default by Balcke Dürr and an estimate of the amount we would be obligated to pay in the event of a default. Additionally, we estimated the fair value of the cash collateral provided by Balcke Dürr and guarantee provided by mutares AG based on the terms and conditions and relative risk associated with each of these securities (unobservable inputs - Level 3). |
| |
(2) | We reduce the liability generally at the earlier of the completion of the related underlying project milestones or the expiration of the guarantees or bonds. We amortize the asset based on the expiration terms of each of the securities. We record the reduction of the liability and the amortization of the asset to “Other income (expense), net.” |
| |
(3) | The balance associated with the guarantees and bonds is reflected within “Other long-term liabilities,” while the balance associated with the indemnification assets is reflected within “Other assets.” |
Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets — Certain of our non-financial assets are subject to impairment analysis, including long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. We review the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the instrument be recorded at its fair value.
Valuation Methodologies Used to Measure Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Derivative Financial Instruments — Our financial derivative assets and liabilities include interest rate swaps, FX forward contracts, FX embedded derivatives and commodity contracts, valued using valuation models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties, which comprise investment-grade financial institutions. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. We have not made any adjustments to the inputs obtained from the independent sources. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments active. We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.
As of March 30, 2019, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk, as the related instruments are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risks.
Equity Security — During 2018, we adopted an amendment to guidance that requires, among other things, equity securities (excluding equity method investments) to be measured at fair value. In connection with our adoption, we adjusted the carrying value of an equity security, previously reflected on our consolidated balance sheet at its historical cost of $0.7, to its estimated fair value of $16.6. We determined the estimated fair value utilizing a practical expedient under the amended guidance, with such estimated fair value based on our ownership percentage applied to the net asset value of the investee as presented in the investee’s most recent audited financial statements. The increase in the equity security’s carrying value resulted in a reduction, net of tax, of our retained deficit of $12.0. We are restricted from transferring this investment without approval of the manager of the investee.
During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we recorded a gain of $6.3 to “Other income, net” to reflect an increase in the estimated fair value of the equity security, with such amount determined based on the investee’s most recent audited financial statements. In addition, we received a distribution during the three months ended March 30, 2019 of $2.6 included within “Cash flows from operating activities” in our condensed consolidated cash flows. As of March 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of the equity security was $20.3.
Indebtedness and Other — The estimated fair value of our debt instruments as of March 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 approximated the related carrying values due primarily to the variable market-based interest rates for such instruments. See Note 12 for further details.
ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (in millions)
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this document and any documents incorporated by reference, including any statements as to operational and financial projections, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our businesses’ or our industries’ actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Such statements may address our plans, our strategies, our prospects, changes and trends in our business and the markets in which we operate under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”) or in other sections of this document. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. Particular risks facing us include economic, business and other risks stemming from our internal operations, legal and regulatory risks, costs of raw materials, pricing pressures, pension funding requirements, integration of acquisitions and changes in the economy. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially because of market conditions in our industries or other factors, and forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results. In addition, management’s estimates of future operating results are based on our current complement of businesses, which is subject to change as management selects strategic markets.
All the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in any subsequent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in any documents incorporated by reference that describe risks and factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We caution you that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment and frequently enter into new businesses and product lines. We cannot predict these new risk factors, and we cannot assess the impact, if any, of these new risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We disclaim any responsibility to update or publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this document.
OVERVIEW OF OPERATING RESULTS
Revenues for the three months ended March 30, 2019 totaled $343.6, compared to $351.9 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in revenues was due primarily to (i) an adjustment, during the three months ended March 30, 2019, to the amount of cumulative revenue associated with variable consideration on the large power projects in South Africa of $17.5 (see below for further discussion) and (ii) a decline in organic revenue, partially offset by increases in revenue associated with the impact of the acquisitions of Schonstedt Instrument Company (“Schonstedt”) on March 1, 2018, Cues, Inc. (“Cues”) on June 7, 2018, and Sabik Marine (“Sabik”) on February 1, 2019. The decline in organic revenue was due primarily to lower sales related to the large power projects in South Africa, as these projects are generally in the latter stages of completion, and the impact of the wind-down of the SPX Heat Transfer business (“Heat Transfer”), partially offset by increases in organic revenue within our Engineered Solutions reportable segment. See “Results of Reportable and Other Operating Segments” for additional details.
During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we generated operating income of $3.0, compared to $19.3 during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in operating income was due primarily to the reduction in revenue of $17.5 noted above associated with the large power projects in South Africa, partially offset by additional income within our (i) Detection and Measurement reportable segment associated with the acquisitions noted above and (ii) Engineered Solutions reportable segment associated with organic revenue growth. See “Results of Reportable and Other Operating Segments” for additional details.
Cash flows from operating activities associated with continuing operations totaled $11.5 for the three months ended March 30, 2019, compared to $2.7 during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in cash flows from operating activities was due primarily to reductions in working capital at certain of our businesses and a decline in cash outflows related to the large power projects in South Africa, as these projects are generally in the latter stages of completion. These improvements in operating cash flows were offset partially by a decline in net income tax refunds (net payments of $3.3 during the three months ended March 30, 2019 versus net refunds of $18.9 during the three months ended March 31, 2018).
Other significant items impacting our financial results for the three months ended March 30, 2019 were as follows:
| |
◦ | Completed the acquisition on February 1, 2019 for a purchase price of $77.0, net of cash acquired of $0.6. |
| |
◦ | Sabik’s revenues for the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition were approximately $28.0. |
| |
◦ | The post-acquisition operating results of Sabik are reflected within our Detection and Measurement reportable segment. |
| |
• | Charges Related to the Dry Cooling Sale - During the three months ended March 30, 2019, in connection with recent settlement activities, we revised our estimates of certain liabilities retained in connection with the 2016 sale of the dry cooling business, which resulted in charges of $1.8 during the period. |
| |
• | Sale of Heat Transfer Facility - In connection with the wind-down of the business, we sold, during the three months ended March 30, 2019, Heat Transfer’s manufacturing facility for net cash proceeds of $5.5, resulting in a gain of $0.3 recorded within “Other income, net.” |
| |
• | Change in Estimated Fair Value of an Equity Security - During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we recorded a gain of $6.3 within “Other income, net” related to the increase in the estimated fair value of an equity security that we hold. See Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details. |
