THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (“Manitowoc” and the “Company”) was founded in 1902 and has over a 118-year tradition of providing high-quality, customer-focused products and support services to its markets. Manitowoc is one of the world’s leading providers of engineered lifting solutions. Manitowoc, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, designs, manufactures, markets, and supports comprehensive product lines of mobile hydraulic cranes, tower cranes, lattice-boom crawler cranes, and boom trucks under the Grove, Manitowoc, National Crane, Potain and Shuttlelift brand names. The Company serves a wide variety of customers, including dealers, rental companies, contractors, and government entities, across the petrochemical, industrial, commercial construction, power and utilities, infrastructure and residential construction end markets. Additionally, the Company leverages its installed base of approximately 152,000 cranes to provide aftermarket parts and services to enable its customers to manage their fleets more effectively and improve their return on investment. Due to the ongoing and predictable maintenance needed by cranes, as well as the high cost of crane downtime, Manitowoc’s aftermarket support operations provides the Company with a consistent stream of recurring revenue. The Company continues to expand its tower crane rental fleet in Europe to directly service its customers in the region.
The Company has 3 reportable segments, the Americas segment, Europe and Africa (“EURAF”) segment and Middle East and Asia Pacific (“MEAP”) segment. The segments were identified using the “management approach,” which designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Refer to Note 17, “Segments” for additional information.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the cash flows for the same three-month periods and the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and except as otherwise discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations dealing with interim financial statements. However, the Company believes that the disclosures made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. All amounts, except share and per share amounts, are in millions throughout the tables in these notes unless otherwise indicated.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
There is still uncertainty regarding the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could include continuing or new restrictions on the Company’s access to its facilities or on its support operations or workforce, or similar limitations impacting its customers, dealers and suppliers. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due this inherent uncertainty.
2. Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12 ��Income Taxes (Topic 740).” The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2019-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Sales
The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of satisfying the performance obligation. The table below shows the change in the customer advances balance for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 which are included in current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |

Balance at end of period | | $ | 21.6 | | | $ | 21.0 | |
Disaggregation of the Company’s revenue sources are disclosed in Note 17, “Segments.”
4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has immaterial financial assets and liabilities related to foreign currency exchange contracts (“FX Forward Contracts”) that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The fair value of the senior secured second lien notes due on April 1, 2026, with an annual coupon rate of 9.000% (the “2026 Notes”), was approximately $324.8 million as of March 31, 2021. See Note 11, “Debt,” for a description of the 2026 Notes and the related carrying value.
The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company estimates the fair value of its 2026 Notes based on quoted market prices of the instruments; because these markets are typically actively traded, the liabilities are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term variable debt, including any amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility, approximate fair value, without being discounted as of March 31, 2021 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
FX Forward Contracts are valued through an independent valuation source which uses an industry standard data provider, with resulting valuations periodically validated through third-party or counterparty quotes. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. See Note 5, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information.
5. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s risk management objective is to ensure that business exposures to risks are minimized using the most effective and efficient methods to eliminate, reduce, or transfer such exposures. Operating decisions consider these associated risks and, whenever possible, transactions are structured to avoid or mitigate these risks.
From time to time, the Company enters into FX Forward Contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. Certain of these 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 accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings as a component of cost of sales, 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. No material amounts were recorded related to these types of transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company had FX Forward Contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $6.0 million and $9.3 million in U.S. dollar equivalent as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The FX Forward Contracts purchased are denominated in various foreign currencies. The Company has immaterial financial assets and liabilities related to FX Forward Contracts that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There were 0 unrealized gains (losses), net of income tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt | | | (10.1 | ) | | | (10.5 | ) |
Long-term debt | | $ | 300.1 | | | $ | 300.4 | |
On March 25, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an indenture with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee and notes collateral agent, pursuant to which the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes with an annual coupon rate of 9.000%. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that is either a guarantor or a borrower under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) or that guarantees certain other debt of the Company or a guarantor. The 2026 Notes and the related guarantees are secured on a second-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by pledges of capital stock and other equity interests and other security interests in substantially all of the personal property and fee-owned real property of the Company and of the guarantors that secure obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
Additionally, on March 25, 2019, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Loan Parties”) entered into a credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A as administrative and collateral agent and certain financial institutions party thereto as lenders, providing for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $275.0 million. The borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of inventory, accounts receivable and fixed assets of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties’ obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are secured on a first-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by substantially all of the personal property and fee-owned real property of the Loan Parties. The liens securing the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are senior in priority to the second-priority liens securing the obligations under the 2026 Notes and the related guarantees. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has a term of five years and includes a $75.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, $10.0 million of which is available to the Company’s German subsidiary that is a borrower under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate using either the Alternative Base Rate or the Eurodollar and Overnight London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The variable interest rate is based upon the average availability as of the most recent determination date as follows:
Average quarterly availability | Alternative base rate spread | | Eurodollar and overnight LIBOR spread | |
≥ 50% of Aggregate Commitment | 0.25% | | 1.25% | |
< 50% of Aggregate Commitment | 0.50% | | 1.50% | |
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had other indebtedness outstanding of $13.8 million that had a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 4.0%. This debt includes balances on local credit lines and other financing arrangements.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had 0 borrowings on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2021, the spreads for LIBOR and prime rate borrowings were 1.25% and 0.25%, respectively, with excess availability of approximately $240.2 million, which represents revolver borrowing capacity of $243.2 million less U.S. letters of credit outstanding of $3.0 million.
Both the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the 2026 Notes include customary covenants which include, without limitation, restrictions on, the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to incur, assume or guarantee additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of the Company’s capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens on certain
11
assets to secure debt, consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted. Both the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the 2026 Notes also include customary events of default. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in the Company’s business or financial condition since December 31, 2018.
Additionally, the ABL Revolving Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants in its debt instruments, inclusive of the financial covenants pertaining to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2026 Notes. Based upon management’s current plans and outlook, the Company believes it will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent twelve months.
12. Accounts Receivable Factoring
The Company has two non-U.S. accounts receivable financing programs with maximum availability of €55.0 million. Under these financing programs, the Company has the ability to sell eligible receivables up to the maximum limit and can sell additional receivables as amounts are collected. The Company also has one U.S. accounts receivable financing program with maximum availability of $35.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold $53.4 million of receivables and received $53.4 million of cash on the various receivable financing programs. Transactions under the U.S. and non-U.S. programs were accounted for as sales in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.”
13. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The increase in the Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year primarily relates to higher pretax income and a change in the jurisdictional mix of income compared to the previous year.
The Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance requirements on an ongoing basis in light of changing facts and circumstances and may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. It is reasonably possible that the Company will either add to or reverse a portion of its existing deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future. Such changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances will be reflected in the Company’s provision for income taxes and could have a material effect on financial results.
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $20.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and $20.1 million as of December 31, 2020.
14. Net Loss Per Share
The following is a reconciliation of the average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted loss per common share:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | | | 34,809,725 | | | | 35,135,525 | |
Effect of dilutive securities - stock awards | | | — | | | | — | |
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | | | 34,809,725 | | | | 35,135,525 | |
Equity incentive instruments for which total employee proceeds from exercise exceed the average fair value of the same equity incentive instrument over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share during periods with net income, and accordingly, are excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Due to the net loss incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the assumed exercise of all equity instruments was anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for those periods.
NaN cash dividends were declared or paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

15. Equity
Authorized capital consists of 75.0 million shares of $0.01 par value common stock and 3.5 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. NaN of the preferred shares have been issued.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended its share repurchase program in the first quarter of 2020 to preserve its liquidity and manage cash flows. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $10.6 million remaining under this authorization.

16. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity compensation awards may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors. A detailed description of the awards granted prior to 2021 is included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for awards under the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan is 7,477,395 shares. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock still available for issuance as of March 31, 2021 is 4,179,857 shares.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the award’s vesting period, subject to retirement, death or disability provisions of the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
NaN options to acquire shares of common stock were granted to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 250,432 shares of common stock were granted to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The options granted become exercisable in three annual increments over a three-year period beginning on the grant date and expire 10 years subsequent to the grant date.
A total of 316,974 and 277,449 restricted stock units were issued by the Company to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The restricted stock units granted to employees vest in three annual increments over a three-year period beginning on the grant date.
A total of 203,697 and 321,599 performance shares units were issued by the Company to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Performance share units vest after three years and are earned based on the extent to which performance goals are met over the applicable performance period. The performance goals and the applicable performance period vary for each grant year. The performance goals for the performance share units granted in 2021 are weighted 60% on the 3-year average of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA percentage from 2021 to 2023 and 40% on non-new machines sales as of the year ended December 31, 2023. The 2021 performance share units include a +/-20% modifier weighted on total shareholder return relative to a defined peer group of companies during the three-year performance period, not to exceed 200% of target shares granted. The performance goals for the performance shares granted in 2020 are based 100% on the 3-year average of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA percentage from continuing operations from 2020 to 2022 with a +/-20% modifier based on total shareholder return relative to a defined peer group of companies during the three-year performance period, not to exceed 200% of target shares granted.
The Company issued a total of 56,672 and 77,608 equity grants to directors during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 2021 and 2020 equity compensation awards vested immediately upon the grant date.
17. Segments
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), for making decisions about the allocation of resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable operating segments.
The Company has 3 reportable segments: Americas, EURAF, and MEAP. The Americas operating segment includes the North America and South America continents. The EURAF operating segment includes Europe and Africa continents, excluding the Middle East region. The MEAP operating segment includes the Asia and Australia continents and the Middle East region.
The CODM evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net sales and operating income. Segment net sales are recognized in the geographic region the product is sold. Operating income for each segment includes net sales to third parties, cost of sales directly attributable to the segment, and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. Manufacturing variances generated within each operating segment are maintained in each segment’s operating income. Operating income for each segment excludes other income and expense and certain expenses managed outside the operating segments. Costs excluded from segment operating income include various corporate expenses such as stock-based compensation expenses, income taxes, nonrecurring charges and other separately managed general and administrative costs. The Company does not include intercompany sales between segments for management reporting purposes. The Company’s operating segments were identified as its reportable segments.

18. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal actions arising out of the normal course of business, which, taking into account the liabilities accrued and legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
As of March 31, 2021, various product-related lawsuits were pending. To the extent permitted under applicable law, all of these lawsuits are insured with self-insurance retention levels. The Company’s self-insurance retention levels vary by business and have fluctuated over the last 10 years. As of March 31, 2021, the largest self-insured retention level for new occurrences currently maintained by the Company is $3.0 million per occurrence and applies to product liability claims for cranes manufactured in the United States.
Product liability reserves, recorded within other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $9.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively. These reserves were estimated using a combination of actual case reserves and actuarial methods. Based on the Company’s experience in defending product liability claims, management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated case resolutions on aggregate self-insured claims and insured claims. Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and solvency of insurance carriers.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had reserves of $59.9 million and $63.2 million, respectively, for warranty claims included in product warranties and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these warranty and other related claims involve legal matters in dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration, or litigation. See Note 19, “Guarantees,” for further information.
The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits involving asbestos-related claims in which the Company is one of numerous defendants. After taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, the current political environment with respect to asbestos related claims, and the liabilities accrued with respect to such matters, in the opinion of management, ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
It is reasonably possible that the estimates for warranty costs, product liability, environmental remediation, asbestos-related claims and other various legal matters may change based upon new information that may arise or matters that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. Presently, there are no reliable methods to estimate the amount of any such potential changes.
19. Guarantees
The Company periodically enters into transactions with customers that provide for buyback commitments. The Company evaluates each agreement at inception to determine if the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise the buyback option. If it is determined that the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise that right, the revenue is deferred and the agreement is accounted for as a lease in accordance with ASC Topic 842 - “Leases” (“Topic 842”). If it is determined that the customer does not have a significant economic incentive to exercise that right, then revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer. The revenue deferred related to buyback obligations accounted for under Topic 842 included in other current and non-current liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $40.9 million and $35.9 million, respectively. The total amount of buyback commitments given by the Company and outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $33.5 million and $31.7 million, respectively. These amounts are not reduced for amounts the Company would recover from the repossession and subsequent resale of the cranes. The buyback commitments expire at various times through 2030. The Company also has various loss guarantees with maximum liabilities of $30.7 million and $31.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These amounts are not reduced for amounts the Company would recover from the repossession and subsequent resale of the cranes.
In the normal course of business, the Company provides its customers a warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the Company. Such warranties generally provide that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 12 months to 60 months. If a product fails to comply with the Company’s warranty, the Company may be obligated, at its expense, to correct any defect by repairing or replacing such defective products. The Company provides for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under its standard warranty period at the time product revenue is recognized. These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary, associated with repair or replacement. The primary factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units shipped and historical and anticipated warranty claims. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The revenue deferred related to extended warranty periods included in other
16
current and non-current liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $6.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Below is a table summarizing the warranty activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Balance at beginning of period | | $ | 63.2 | | | $ | 60.6 | |
Accruals for warranties issued during the period | | | 5.8 | | | | 8.6 | |
Settlements made (in cash or in kind) during the period | | | (8.0 | ) | | | (8.8 | ) |
Currency translation | | | (1.1 | ) | | | (0.7 | ) |
Balance at end of period | | $ | 59.9 | | | $ | 59.7 | |
Included in the warranty balance as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is $12.5 million and $13.0 million, respectively, of long-term warranty which is recorded in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
20. Restructuring
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $(0.1) million and $1.5 million of restructuring (income) expense, respectively. Expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020, related primarily to headcount reductions in Europe.
The following is a rollforward of the Company's restructuring accrual, which is included within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

21. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides certain pension, health care and death benefits to eligible retirees and their dependents. The funding mechanism for such benefits varies based on the country where the plan is located and the related plan. Eligibility for pension coverage is based on retirement qualifications. Healthcare benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payments and other limitations. The Company reserves the right to modify benefits unless prohibited by local laws or regulations.
In March 2021, the Company applied provisions from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“the Act”) that changed the interest rates used to calculate the U.S. pension plans funded status. The Company elected to apply the new interest rates in the Act back to 2020, which has resulted in no minimum contributions to the U.S. pension plan for 2021.
The components of periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are summarized as follows:

COVID-19 Pandemic
The Company has seen orders and backlog improve in the first quarter of 2021 in all three segments. There is optimism that this improvement will continue through 2021 as the global economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there remains uncertainty regarding additional impacts the pandemic will have on the Company’s results of operations due to potential future outbreaks and/or government mandated lockdowns.
The Company continues to monitor the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the global supply chain and is working closely with its global supplier network to ensure there is adequate materials to meet current customer demand.
The future extent of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the Company’s financial results is dependent on a number of factors, including the length of the pandemic, associated government actions and the related effect on the global economy and markets in which the Company serves, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Segment Operating Performance
The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable operating segments consist of the Americas, EURAF, and MEAP. Further information regarding the Company’s reportable segments can be found in Note 17, “Segments,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Americas
Americas net sales decreased 10.3% for three months ended March 31, 2021 to $140.1 million from $156.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipments of cranes for the energy and commercial construction end markets and a reduced level of aftermarket sales due to lower crane utilization.
Americas operating income decreased 23.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $7.0 million from $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume of crane shipments and aftermarket sales, increased legal costs and short-term incentive compensation costs. This was partially offset by expenses related to the triennial ConExpo tradeshow held in March 2020.
EURAF
EURAF net sales increased 25.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $154.5 million from $122.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

EURAF net sales was favorably impacted by approximately $11.8 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
EURAF operating income was $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $6.7 million. The increase was primarily due to higher volume of crane shipments. Operating income was favorably impacted by approximately $1.3 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
MEAP
MEAP net sales increased 19.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $59.7 million from $50.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher shipments of cranes for the commercial construction

Orders and Backlog
Orders for three months ended March 31, 2021 increased 26.3% to $473.6 million from $375.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was mainly due to an increase in market demand in all regions. Orders were favorably impacted by approximately $20.8 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
As of March 31, 2021, total backlog was $662.5 million, a 22.0% increase from the December 31, 2020 backlog of $543.2 million, and a 27.2% increase from the March 31, 2020 backlog of $520.9 million. Backlog was favorably impacted by approximately $21.6 million year over year and unfavorably impacted by approximately $14.0 million from December 31, 2020, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased 7.6% to $354.3 million from $329.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to higher shipments of cranes in the EURAF and MEAP regions, partially offset by lower shipments of cranes in the Americas region. Net sales were favorably impacted by $15.4 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $68.4 million, an increase of $5.2 million compared to $63.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was mainly due to the increase in sales volume and $3.8 million of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Gross profit percentage remained flat year-over-year.
Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses
Engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased 3.2% to $57.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $55.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher short-term incentive compensation costs, partially offset by lower tradeshow costs related to the triennial ConExpo trade show in March 2020. Engineering, selling and administrative expenses were higher by $2.3 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
22
Restructuring (Income) Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $(0.1) million and $1.5 million of restructuring (income) expense, respectively. Expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 related primarily to headcount reductions in Europe.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $7.1 million compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Interest expense was flat year-over-year due to a consistent effective interest rate and amount of debt outstanding. See further detail at Note 11, “Debt” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Expense - Net
Other expense – net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $2.1 million. Other expense – net was primarily composed of $1.7 million of foreign currency exchange losses and $0.2 million of pension benefit and postretirement health costs.
Other expense – net for three months ended March 31, 2020 was $4.0 million. Other expense – net was primarily composed of $3.9 million of foreign currency exchange losses and $0.4 million of pension benefit and postretirement health costs.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $4.2 million compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase relates primarily to higher pretax income and a change in the jurisdictional mix of income compared to the previous year. In addition, the Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to results of foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates.
Financial Condition
Cash Flows
The table below shows a summary of cash flows for three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities | | $ | 40.8 | | | $ | (78.6 | ) |

Net cash used for financing activities | | | — | | | | (12.4 | ) |
Cash and cash equivalents | | | 158.5 | | | | 103.6 | |
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $40.8 million and were primarily driven by a net decrease in working capital. The decrease in working capital resulted primarily from collections of accounts receivable balances.
Cash flows used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $78.6 million and were primarily driven by a net increase in working capital of $83.6 million. The increase in working capital primarily resulted from an increase in inventory of $88.5 million from December 31, 2019 and payments of incentive compensation earned in the prior year. The increase in inventory is consistent with the Company’s history of building inventory in anticipation of the summer construction season in the northern hemisphere. This was partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in net income excluding adjustments to reconcile net loss to operating cash flows from operating activities.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Cash flows used for investing activities were $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and consisted of capital expenditures.

Less: Outstanding letters of credit | | | (3.0 | ) | | | (3.0 | ) |
Total liquidity | | $ | 443.3 | | | $ | 411.7 | |
The Company believes its liquidity and expected cash flows from operations should be sufficient to meet expected working capital, capital expenditure and other general ongoing operational needs in the subsequent twelve months.
Cash Sources
The Company has historically relied primarily on cash flows from operations, borrowings under revolving credit facilities, issuances of notes and other forms of debt financing as its sources of cash.
The maximum availability under the Company’s current ABL Revolving Credit Facility is $275.0 million. The borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of inventory, accounts receivable and fixed assets of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties’ obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are secured on a first-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by substantially all of the personal property and fee-owned real property of the Loan Parties. The liens securing the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are senior in priority to the second-priority liens securing the obligations under the 2026 Notes and the related guarantees. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has a term of 5 years and includes a $75.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, $10.0 million of which is available to the Company’s German subsidiary that is a borrower under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
In addition to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has access to non-committed overdraft facilities to fund working capital in Europe and China. There are six facilities, of which four facilities are denominated in Euros totaling €26.0 million, one facility denominated in US dollars totaling $9.5 million, and one denominated in Chinese Yuan totaling ¥30.0 million. Total U.S. dollar availability as of March 31, 2021 for the six overdraft facilities is $44.6 million.

Both the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2026 Notes include customary covenants and events of default. Refer to Note 11, “Debt,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussions of covenants for the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2026 Notes. Based upon management’s current plans and outlook, the Company believes it will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent twelve months.
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income, which are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as additional metrics to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company defines EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus the addback of certain restructuring and other charges. The Company defines adjusted operating income as adjusted EBITDA excluding the addback of depreciation and amortization. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to readers regarding business trends that can be used in evaluating its results of operations because these financial measures provide a consistent method of comparing financial performance and are commonly used by investors to assess performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered together with, and are not substitutes for, the GAAP financial information provided herein.
