(Dollars and shares in thousands,millions, except per share amounts)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Chart Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”(herein referred to as the “Company,” “Chart,” “we,” “us,” or “Chart”“our”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2020.
Nature of Operations: Chart Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (herein referred to as the “Company,” “Chart,” or “we”), isWe are a leading diversified global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment for the industrial gas,servicing multiple market applications in energy and biomedical industries. Chart’s equipmentindustrial gas. Our unique product portfolio is used throughout the liquid gas supply chain in the production, storage, distribution and engineered systems are primarily used for low-temperatureend-use of atmospheric, hydrocarbon, and cryogenic applications utilizing our expertise in cryogenic systems and equipment which operate at low temperatures sometimes approaching absolute zero (0 Kelvin; -273° Centigrade; -459° Fahrenheit). The Companyindustrial gases. Chart has domestic operations located across the United States including principal executive offices located in Georgia, and an international presence in Asia, Australia, Europe Mexico and South America.the Americas.
Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the CompanyChart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications: Reclassifications: Certain total assets by operating segments and restructuring activities as reportedreclassifications have been made to prior year financial information in 2016 were reclassifiedthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the 2017 presentation within the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.reportable segments restructuring as further discussed in Note 2, “Reportable Segments.”
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Furthermore, we considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of estimates and Restricted Cash Equivalents: The Company considersassumptions used for financial reporting and determined that there was no adverse material impact to our results of operations for the first quarter of 2020. While our production is considered “essential” in all investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. See the Debtlocations we operate in, we have experienced, and Credit Arrangements notefor additional information about restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, which is included in other current assets and other assetsmay experience in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, “Derivativesfuture, temporary facility closures while awaiting appropriate government approvals in certain jurisdictions. The COVID-19 outbreak could also disrupt our supply chain and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvementsmaterially adversely impact our ability to Accountingsecure supplies for Hedging Activities.” The ASU expands and enhances hedge accounting to become more closely aligned with an entity’s risk management activities through hedging strategies. The ASU provides changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationshipsour facilities, which could materially adversely affect our operations. There may also be long-term effects on our customers in and the presentationeconomies of hedgeaffected countries. As a result of these uncertainties, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. If the economy or markets in which we operate remain weak or deteriorate further, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law in the financial statementsUnited States. The CARES Act, among other things, includes modifications to net operating loss carryforwards provisions and creates more transparencythe net interest expense deduction, and better understandability arounddeferment of social security tax payments. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the CARES Act and how economic results are presented in the financial statements. In addition, the new guidance makes certain targeted improvements to ease the application of accounting guidance relative to hedge effectiveness. The guidance will be applied prospectively for annual periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect that the ASU will have on the Company’selections may impact our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.disclosures if elected.
Share Repurchase Program: On March 11, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $75 million of the Company’s common stock over the next twelve months through various means, including open market transactions, block purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 0.76 shares of our common stock at an average price of $25.40 per share. We suspended the program on March 20, 2020 in light of uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the desire to conserve cash resources. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $55.7 available for additional repurchases under the share repurchase program.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In March 2017,August 2018, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” This ASU 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improvingclarifies the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” The newaccounting treatment for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements (hosting arrangements) that is a service contract.

The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2019, including interim periods within such fiscal years. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition method with the option to elect a package of practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects adoption to increase the assets and liabilities recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet and increase the level of disclosures related to leases. The Company also expects that adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In addition, we estimate expected credit losses based on historical loss information then adjust the estimates based on current, reasonable and supportable forecast economic conditions.
NOTE 2 — Reportable Segments
As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the structure of our internal controls to support recognitionorganization is divided into the following reportable segments, which are also our operating segments: Distribution and disclosure requirements underStorage Eastern Hemisphere (“D&S East”), Distribution and Storage Western Hemisphere (“D&S West”), Energy & Chemicals Cryogenics (“E&C Cryogenics”), and Energy & Chemicals FinFans (“E&C FinFans”).
Our D&S East segment has principal operations in Europe and Asia and primarily serves the new standard. The Company is currently assessing the effect that the ASU will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”geographic regions of Europe, Middle East and subsequently issued additional guidance that modified ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 and the subsequent modifications are identified as “Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606.” ASC 606 replaces existing revenue recognition rules with a comprehensive revenue measurement and recognition standard and provides for expanded disclosure requirements. The update requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topicsAsia. Our D&S West segment has principal operations in the FASB ASC. ASC 606 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company plans to adopt ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018United States and has developed an implementation plan to adopt ASC 606 usingLatin America and primarily serves the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.
As part of the implementation plan, the Company has identified its revenue streamsAmericas geographic region. Our D&S West segment also includes cryobiological storage manufacturing and isdistribution operations in the process of performing contract reviews to assessU.S., Europe and Asia, which serve customers around the impact of ASC 606 on its results of operations. The Company expects to complete the contract reviewsworld. E&C Cryogenics supplies critical engineered equipment and systems used in the near future. While the Company continues to assess all impactsseparation, liquefaction, and purification of thehydrocarbon and industrial gases that span gas-to-liquid applications. The E&C FinFans segment is focused on our unique and broad product offering and capabilities in air cooled heat exchangers (“ACHX”) and fans. Corporate includes operating expenses for executive management, accounting, change, the Companytax, treasury, corporate development, human resources, information technology, investor relations, legal, internal audit, and risk management.

revenue that has historically been recognized when products are shipped, title has transferred and collection is reasonably assured will meet the criteria for using point-in-time revenue recognition. The Company also expects that the majority of the revenue that has historically been recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting will meet the criteria for over time revenue recognition. At this time, the Company has identified the following impacts related to timing of revenue recognition:Segment Financial Information

Certain operations that have historically recognized revenue at a point-in-time will be required to change to the over time revenue recognition model as certain contracts contain language that meets the over time criteria established in ASC 606.
A portion of the revenue that has been deferred due to the current guidance for bill and hold revenues will be required to be recognized when the manufacturing process has been completed.
The Company is in the process of quantifying the above changes but does not expect them to be material to its consolidated financial statements. The Company expects adoption to increase the level of disclosures related to revenue recognition. In addition, the Company is in the process of identifying appropriate changes to its accounting policies, information technology systems, business processes, and internal control over financial reporting to support recognition under the new standard. The Company plans to complete the design of any necessary changes to its business processes, controls and systems and implement the changes over the remainder of 2017.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” The FASB issued the update to clarify how restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be presented in the statement of cash flows. The Company early adopted the amendments provided in ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2017 as reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements to provide financial statement users with more transparent disclosure about restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The amendments were applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Prior periods were not restated as the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-18 was not material to prior periods. The cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents balance included $8,785 of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents at September 30, 2017. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included in other current assets and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The FASB issued the update to change certain aspects of accounting for share-based payments to employees. The update eliminated additional paid-in-capital pools and requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the statements of operations when the awards vest or settle. The Company prospectively recognized the excess income tax effects of awards as income tax expense or benefit in the condensed statements of operations and has elected to continue to estimate the number of share-based awards expected to vest rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, the Company prospectively recognized the excess tax benefits along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The amendments require an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — Inventories
In January 2017, the Company prospectively adopted the guidance per ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The Company previously measured its inventory at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Based on the new guidance, the Company measures its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value with net realizable value being the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $17.1 and $37.0, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods as a result of changes in the estimates of variable consideration related to long-term contracts, was not significant.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments from customers for which work has not been performed, or is partially completed, and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders.  As of March 31, 2020, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to remaining performance obligations was $732.5. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 84% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and with the remaining over the next few years thereafter.

Investment in equity securities
During the third quarter of 2019, we made an investment in Stabilis Energy, Inc. (“Stabilis”) by converting $7.0 of a note receivable from Stabilis into an investment in their company stock. As of March 31, 2020, the value of the investment was $2.1, which reflects a $4.8 unrealized loss upon conversion and subsequent mark-to-market. Gains and losses for this investment in equity securities were recorded in unrealized loss on investment in equity securities on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
We categorize our financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable to unobservable. Level 2 inputs represent other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. The Stabilis investment is measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 using Level 2 inputs.

Equity method accounting investments
Our equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting include a 50% ownership interest in a joint venture with Hudson Products de Mexico S.A. de CV which totaled $2.9 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. This investment is operated and managed by our joint venture partner and as such, we do not have control over the joint venture and therefore is not consolidated. Our equity in earnings from this investment were not material for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Additionally, we have a 25% ownership interest in Liberty LNG which we invested in during the third quarter of 2019 which totaled $2.7 and $3.3 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were not material.
NOTE5 — Leases
As of March 31, 2020, operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities were $31.9 and $32.0 ($5.4 of which was current), respectively. The weighted-average remaining term for lease contracts was 6.5 years at March 31, 2020, with maturity dates ranging from May 2020 to February 2029. The weighted-average discount rate was 4.7% at March 31, 2020.
We incurred $3.1 and $2.0 of rental expense under operating leases for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Certain operating leases contain rent escalation clauses and lease concessions that require additional rental payments in the later years of the term. Rent expense for these types of leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Adjustments for straight-line rental expense for the respective periods was not material and as such, the majority of expense recognized was reflected in cash used in operating activities for the respective periods. This expense consisted primarily of payments for base rent on building and equipment leases. Payments related to short-term lease costs and taxes and variable service charges on leased properties were immaterial. In addition, we have the right, but no obligation, to renew certain leases for various renewal terms.

Convertible Notes
The outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due August 1, 2018 (the “Convertible Notes”) is $250,000. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and will mature on August 1, 2018. The effective interest rate at issuance was 7.9%.
The Convertible Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes are senior in right of payment to the Company’s future subordinated debt, equal in right of payment with the Company’s future senior subordinated debt, and are subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Company’s existing credit agreement.
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the CompanyOn June 14, 2019, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedgethe Fourth Amended and capped call transactions with affiliates of certain ofRestated Credit Agreement, which includes a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SSRCF”) and a term loan (together, the underwriters (the “Option Counterparties”“2024 Credit Facilities”). The convertible note hedge and capped call transactions relate to, collectively, 3,622 shares, which represents the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Convertible Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes. These convertible note hedge and capped call transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or reduce the Company’s exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, except, in the case of the capped call transactions, to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions. The Company also entered into separate warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to the Company’s common stock to the extent that the price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless the Company elects, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. These warrants were exercisable as of the issuance date of the Convertible Notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions and the strike price of the warrant transactions was initially $84.96 per share. Proceeds received from the issuance of the warrants totaled approximately $48,848 and were recorded as an addition to additional paid-in-capital. The net cost of the convertible note hedge and capped call transactions, taking into account the proceeds from the issuance of the warrants, was approximately $17,638.2024 Credit Facilities mature on June 14, 2024.
In accordance with ASC 815, contracts are initially classified as equity if (1) the contract requires physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (2) the contract gives the entity a choice of net-cash settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company concluded that the settlement terms of the convertible note hedge, capped call, and warrant transactions permit net-share settlement. As such, the convertible note hedge, capped call, and warrant transactions were recorded in equity.

The liability component was recognized at the present value of its associated cash flows using a 7.9% straight-debt rate which represented the Company’s interest rate for similar debt instruments at that time without a conversion feature and is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of the liability component was $238,142 (less debt issuance costs of $592) and $228,115 (less debt issuance costs of $1,125), respectively, and the unamortized debt discount of the Convertible Notes was $11,858 and $21,885, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 470-20, which requires issuers to separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, the Company allocated debt issuance costs to the liability and equity components in proportion to their allocated value. Debt issuance costs were $7,277, with $2,303 recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in-capital. The remaining balance of $4,974 is being amortized over the term of the Convertible Notes. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, total expense associated with the amortization of these debt issuance costs was $178 for both periods.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a five-year $450,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SSRCF”) which matures on October 29, 2019. The SSRCF includes a $25,000 sub-limit for the issuance of swingline loans and a $100,000 sub-limit to be used for letters of credit. There is a foreign currency limit of $100,000 under the SSRCF which can be used for foreign currency denominated letters of credit and borrowings in a foreign currency, in each case in currencies agreed upon with the lenders. In addition, the facility permits borrowings up to $100,000 made by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chart Industries Luxembourg S.à. r.l. (“Chart Luxembourg”) and Chart Asia Investment Company Limited (“Chart Asia”). The SSRCF also includes an expansion option permitting the Company to add up to an aggregate $200,000 in term loans or revolving credit commitments from its lenders.
The Company recorded $2,869 in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the SSRCF which are being amortized over the five-year term of the SSRCF. This balance is recorded in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, total expense associated with the amortization of these debt issuance costs was $143 for both periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the related financing costs amortization was $430 for both periods.
Revolving loans under the SSRCF bear interest, at the applicable Borrower’s election, at either LIBOR or the greatest of (a) the JPMorgan prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%, or (c) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the SSRCF) for the relative interest period on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) plus 1% (the “Adjusted Base Rate”), plus a margin that varies with the Company’s leverage ratio. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.40% of the unused revolver balance and a letter of credit participation fee equal to the daily aggregate letter of credit exposure at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowings (ranging from 1.5% to 2.75%, depending on the leverage ratio calculated at each fiscal quarter end)LIBOR loans). A fronting fee must be paid on each letter of credit that is issued equal to 0.125% per annum of the stated dollar amount of the letter of credit.
Significant financial covenants for the SSRCF2024 Credit Facilities include a minimum liquidity requirement equal tofinancial maintenance covenants that, as of the principallast day of any fiscal quarter ending on and after June 30, 2019, (i) require the ratio of the amount of Chart and its subsidiaries’ consolidated total net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be less than specified maximum ratio levels and (ii) require the Convertible Notes outstanding six months prior to the maturity dateratio of the Convertible Notesamount of Chart and when holders of the Convertible Notes have the optionits subsidiaries’ consolidated EBITDA to require the Companyconsolidated cash interest expense to repurchase the Convertible Notes,be greater than a maximum leveragespecified minimum ratio of 3.25 and a minimum interest coverage to EBITDA ratio of 3.0.level. The required leverage ratio can be relaxed on up to two occasions, upon notification to the lenders, to 3.75 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters, for acquisitions and plant expansions of $100,000 or greater. The SSRCF contains2024 Credit Facilities include a number of other customary covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’sour ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or other encumbrances, sell assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain payments, investments, loans, advances or guarantees, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations and pay dividends or distributions. On September 19, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 2”) to its SSRCF to exclude the acquisition of RCHPH Holdings, Inc. (“Hudson”) (see Business Combinations footnote) from the pro forma leverage ratio requirement of the SSRCF. Concurrently with Amendment No. 2, the Company has exercised its right under the SSRCF to elect an increase in the maximum permissible leverage ratio thereunder to 3.75 for the four fiscal-quarter period ending September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2017, the Company wasMarch 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants.
AsThe 2024 Credit Facilities also contain customary events of September 30, 2017, there were $300,000 in borrowings outstanding underdefault. If such an event of default occurs, the SSRCF (“SSRCF Debt”), bearing interest at 4.00%.lenders thereunder would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. The Company borrowed against this facility to fund the acquisition of Hudson. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense for the SSRCF Debt was $333. The Company had $44,828 in letters of credit and bank guarantees supported by the SSRCF, which had availability of $105,172 at September 30, 2017. The obligations under the SSRCF2024 Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the CompanyChart and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the CompanyChart and itsour U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the Company’sour material non-U.S. subsidiaries (as defined by the SSRCF)Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) that are owned by U.S. subsidiaries.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, on April 20, 2020, we amended our 2024 Credit Facilities. The amendment, among other things, (i) adjusts the pricing grid in order to accommodate potentially higher leverage ratios, (ii) adjusts factoring related definitions and other related provisions to provide Chart with greater flexibility to enter into such arrangements in the future, (iii) incorporates a “cash hoarding” prevention covenant and (iv) incorporates various amendments to reflect interest rate floor and other changes to the Loan Syndications and Trading Association and Loan Market Association market standards for credit agreements.  The terms and conditions under the 2024 Credit Facilities are otherwise substantially the same as those prior to the amendment.
We recorded $6.1 in deferred debt issuance costs in conjunction with the 2024 Credit Facilities, which is included in long-term debt in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020, associated with the term loan, which is being amortized over its five-year term beginning in July 2019.
We paid $7.5 in deferred debt issuance costs related to the SSCRF and included $2.5 of the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous senior secured revolving credit facility, which are presented in other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020 and are being amortized over the five-year term of the SSRCF.

At September 30, 2017, there was 15.0 million Chinese yuan (equivalent to $2,260) outstanding under this facility, bearing interest at 4.35%. CCDEC was negotiating new terms of this facility including a new maturity date as described in the Indenture, we will pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2024 Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, if the average market price of our common stock exceeds the applicable conversion price during the periods reported, shares contingently issuable under the 2024 Notes will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock. Since the conversion price of $58.725 exceeded our closing common stock price of $28.98 at the end of the third quarterperiod, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amount of 2017.
CCESCthe 2024 at March 31, 2020. As described below, we entered into a term loanconvertible note hedge transactions, which are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2024 Notes.
Holders of the 2024 Notes may convert their 2024 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2024 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after December 31, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for the 2024 Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the Indenture) per one thousand U.S. dollar principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 97% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate for the 2024 Notes on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Indenture.
On or after August 15, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding November 15, 2024, holders may convert their 2024 Notes at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, we may settle the conversion by paying or delivering either shares of our common stock, solely cash, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. It is our intention to settle the principal amount of the 2024 Notes in cash and excess conversion value in shares of our common stock.
We reassess the convertibility of the 2024 Notes and the related balance sheet classification on a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2020, events for early conversion were not met, and thus the 2024 Notes were not convertible as of and for the fiscal quarter beginning April 1, 2020. There have been no conversions as of 2016.the date of this filing.
We allocated the gross proceeds of the 2024 Notes between the liability and equity components of the 2024 Notes. The initial liability component of $200.1, which was recorded as long-term debt, represents the fair value of similar debt instruments that have no conversion rights. The initial equity component of $58.7, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital, represents the debt discount and was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the liability component and gross proceeds of the 2024 Notes. The liability component was recognized at the present value of its associated cash flows using a 4.8% straight-debt rate and is being accreted to interest expense over the term loan is secured byof the 2024 Notes.
We recorded $5.3 in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the 2024 Notes, which are being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes using the effective interest method. We also recorded $1.5 in equity issuance costs, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

The CompanyWe estimated the preliminary fair value of acquired unpatented technology and trademarks and trade names using the relief from royalty method. The preliminary fair values of acquired customer backlog and customer relationships were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. Under both the relief from royalty and multi-period excess earnings methods, the fair value models incorporateincorporated estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows, estimates of future growth rates, and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. The preliminary estimated useful lives of identifiable finite-lived intangible assets range from twoone to 1214 years.
Hudson complements Chart’s E&C segment with the addition of its Fin-Fan® brand and other air cooled heat exchangers which broaden E&C’s end market diversity from primarily liquefied natural gas, industrial and natural gas to include HVAC, petrochemical and power generation.  The addition of Hudson’s fans business, known by the Tuf-Lite® and Cofimco® brands, allows E&C to offer a broader technology solution for Chart’s customers. Management anticipates the combination of strong engineering cultures will continue to further develop full service solutions for Chart’s customers. The preliminary estimated goodwill was established due to the benefits outlined above, as well as the benefits derived from the anticipated synergies of Hudson integrating with Chart’s E&C segment. Goodwill recorded for the Hudson acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The acquisition consideration allocation below is preliminary, pending completion of the fair value analyses of acquired assets and liabilities as well as certain other analyses. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is assigned to goodwill.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2017March 31, 2020
(Dollars and shares in thousands,millions, except per share amounts) – Continued

October 1, 2017 and July 1, 2019 based on the attainment of certain earnings targets. The potential payments related to Thermax contingent consideration are between $0 and $11,288.
Valuations are performed using Level 3 inputs as defined in the Fair Value Measurements note and are evaluated on a quarterly basis based on forecasted sales and earnings targets. Contingent consideration liabilities are classified as other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration, including accretion, are recorded as selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The following table represents the changes in contingent consideration liabilities:

Balance at December 31, 2016$1,923
Decrease in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities(1,622)
Balance at September 30, 2017$301

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fair value of contingent consideration decreased by $1,622, which was primarily driven by economic circumstances that significantly reduced the likelihood of achieving certain earnings targets for the duration of the remaining potential payout period. There was no change in contingent consideration for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the fair value of contingent consideration increased by $75 and $122, respectively.
NOTE 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

NOTE 13 — Income Taxes
Income tax expense of $1.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and income tax benefit of $2.0 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at a combined effective income tax rate of 16.7% and 200.0%, respectively.
The effective income tax rate of 16.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation, partially offset by the effect of income earned by certain of our foreign entities being taxed at higher rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate and losses incurred by certain of our Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded. We expect our 2020 full year effective income tax rate to be approximately 20%.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had a liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits of $2.5 and $2.4, respectively. This amount includes $1.8 of unrecognized tax benefits as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which, if ultimately recognized, would reduce our annual effective income tax rate. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. These amounts were not significant for the periods presented.

NOTE 1114Income TaxesShare-based Compensation
The Company recorded income tax expense of $1,907 and $1,764 inDuring the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $2,346 and $12,829 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective income tax rate of 47.5% and 48.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses incurred by certain of the Company’s Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded, partially offset by foreign exchange losses realized upon the receipt of previously taxed income, and the effect of income earned by certain of the Company’s international entities operating in lower taxed jurisdictions. The third quarter 2017 effective income tax rate was also impacted by transaction costs incurred with the acquisition of Hudson, a portion of which were non-deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The effective income tax rate of 11.4% and 31.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to an insurance settlement for breaches of representations and warranties that resulted in an adjustment to our purchase price of Airsep shares for tax purposes and offset by losses incurred by certain of the Company’s Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded.
As of both September 30, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 2016, the Company has a liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits of $710. This amount includes $535 of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2017, which, if ultimately recognized, would reduce the Company’s annual effective income tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company accrued approximately $89 and $86 for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
NOTE 12 — Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a frozen defined benefit pension plan that covers certain U.S. hourly and salaried employees. The defined benefit plan provides benefits based primarily on the participants’ years of service and compensation.

NOTE 15 — Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other matters, waste water effluents, air emissions, and handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as cleaning fluids. We are involved with environmental compliance, investigation, monitoring, and remediation activities at certain of our owned and formerly owned manufacturing facilities and at one owned facility that is leased to a third party, and, except for these continuing remediation efforts, believes we are currently in substantial compliance with all known environmental regulations. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had undiscounted accrued environmental reserves of $0.4 and $0.6, respectively. We accrue for certain environmental remediation-related activities for which commitments or remediation plans have been developed and for which costs can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are determined based upon currently available facts and circumstances regarding each facility. Actual costs incurred may vary from these estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved. Future expenditures relating to these environmental remediation efforts are expected to be made over the next seven years as ongoing costs of remediation programs.
Although we believe we have adequately provided for the cost of all known environmental conditions, the applicable regulatory agencies could insist upon different and more costly remediation than those we believe are adequate or required by existing law or third parties may seek to impose environmental liabilities on us. We believe that any additional liability in excess of amounts accrued which may result from the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows or results of operations.
Legal Proceedings
Stainless Steel Cryobiological Tank Legal Proceedings
During the second quarter of 2018, Chart was named in lawsuits (including a class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California) filed against Chart and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of a stainless steel cryobiological storage tank (model MVE 808AF-GB) at the Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco, California.  We continue to evaluate the merits of such claims in light of the information available to date regarding use, maintenance and operation of the tank that was sold to the Pacific Fertility Center through an independent distributor and which has been out of our control for six years prior to the alleged failure.  Accordingly, an accrual related to any damages that may result from the lawsuits has not been recorded because a potential loss is not currently probable or estimable.
We have asserted various defenses against the claims in the lawsuits, including a defense that since manufacture, we were not in any way involved with the installation, ongoing maintenance or monitoring of the tank or related fertility center cryogenic systems at any time since the initial delivery of the tank.
Aluminum Cryobiological Tank Legal Proceeding
Chart has been named in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of an aluminum cryobiological storage tank (model FNL XC 47/11-6 W/

We are occasionally subject to be recognized over the weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years.
On May 25, 2017, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders. At the annual meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Chart Industries, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Equity Plan (the “2017 Omnibus Equity Plan”).

Based on our historical experience in litigating these claims, as well as our current assessment of the underlying merits of the claims and applicable insurance, if any, management believes that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows, or results of operations. Future developments may, however, result in resolution of these legal claims in a way that could have a material adverse effect.
NOTE 1416 — Restructuring Activities
The Company has implemented a number of cost reduction or avoidance actions, including headcount reductions and facility closures and relocations primarily relating to the consolidation of certain of our facilities in China, the Buffalo BioMedical respiratory consolidation, and relocation of the corporate headquarters.

On April 20, 2020, we amended our 2024 Credit Facilities. The amendment, among other things, (i) adjusts the pricing grid in order to accommodate potentially higher leverage ratios, (ii) adjusts factoring related definitions and other related provisions to provide Chart with greater flexibility to enter into such arrangements in the future, (iii) incorporates a “cash hoarding” prevention covenant and (iv) incorporates various amendments to reflect interest rate floor and other changes to the Loan Syndications and Trading Association and Loan Market Association market standards for credit agreements.  The terms and conditions under our 2024 Credit Facilities are otherwise substantially the same as those prior to the amendment. Refer to Note 8, “Debt and Credit Arrangements” for further information.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this discussion and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with this discussion.
Overview
Chart Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Chart,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) isWe are a leading diversified global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment for the industrial gas,servicing multiple market applications in energy and biomedical industries.industrial gas. Our equipment and engineered systems are primarily used for low-temperature and cryogenic applications utilizing our expertise in cryogenic systems and equipment which operate at low temperatures sometimes approaching absolute zero (0 Kelvin; -273° Centigrade; -459° Fahrenheit).
Third QuarterThe financial information presented and Year-to-date 2017 Highlightsdiscussion of results that follows is presented on a continuing operations basis.
Our consolidatedCOVID-19 Update
While the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) did not have a material adverse effect on our reported results for the thirdfirst quarter 2017 were highlighted by sales of $240.5 million, and operating income of $10.4 million, inclusive2020, we are actively monitoring the impact of the in quarter acquisitions.  Gross profitCOVID-19 outbreak on our results of operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $70.4 million, or 29.3% of sales, which was unfavorably impacted by $0.3 million of restructuring costs.  Energy & Chemicals (“E&C”) gross margin improved sequentially from 13.3% in the second quarter of 20172020 and beyond. The extent to 18.6%which our operations will be impacted by the outbreak will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among other things.
All Chart manufacturing locations globally have been deemed essential business by each local and federal government and therefore continue to operate under this status, although we lost a total of 40 production days in the thirdfirst quarter across our locations, with 26 of those days in our Chinese facilities in late January and early February as we either waited for the approval of our essential status or there was a mandatory government shutdown as in China. As the safety of our team members is our top priority, we have instituted additional precautions while we continue to produce our products not just for critical care medical applications but also for energy infrastructure. During March 2020, we increased production on specific medical oxygen related products by over 65% in the United States and 50% in the Czech Republic. Known order activity for our medical oxygen products used in hospital applications increased 34% in the first quarter 2020 when compared to the first quarter of 2017,2019 and increased 29% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The regional breakdown compared to the first quarter of 2019 is:
In China, an increase of 69%;
In Europe, an increase of 21%;
In India, an increase of 122%; and
In the United States, an increase of 39%.
Additionally, orders for our cryobiological product line, which is used for storage and transport of vaccinations, cell therapy and biological inventory increased by 14% to $20.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 when compared to the first quarter of 2019. April 2020 month to date demand for critical care products has increased. Month to date through April 20, 2020, we received more medical oxygen kit orders in the United States than in the entire first quarter of 2020, and total medical oxygen specific demand is already at 39% of the first quarter levels. We expect this COVID-19 related demand to return to “pre-COVID-19” levels later in 2020.
In terms of macro drivers, we continue to see long-term strength in medium and long-term fundamentals of our markets, in particular the transition to clean energy and the need for infrastructure associated with that. We received orders with 120 new customers in the first quarter of 2020. Eighty-four of these new customers were outside of North America which continues to demonstrate the continued long-term fundamental global clean energy transition.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law in the United States. The CARES Act, among other things, includes 260 basis pointsmodifications to net operating loss carryforwards provisions and the net interest expense deduction, and deferment of social security tax payments. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the CARES Act and how certain elections may impact our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures if elected.

First Quarter 2020 Highlights
Orders for medical oxygen critical care products increased by 34% over the first quarter 2019, and we increased associated production by over 50% to meet continued demand for liquid oxygen for COVID-19 patients. We booked a $29.5 million order for a propane dehydrogenation plant in February 2020.
Ending backlog as of March 31, 2020 was $732.5 million compared to $733.8 million as of March 31, 2019, while backlog only decreased by 3.9% from the inclusionrecord high of $762.3 million as of December 31, 2019. Backlog of $732.5 million is flat to first quarter of 2019, which included $135 million of Venture Global Calcasieu Pass big LNG orders. As of the resultsend of RCHPH Holdings, Inc.the first quarter 2020, there was $93 million of Calcasieu Pass backlog remaining. Excluding Calcasieu Pass, backlog increased 6.8% current quarter over prior year quarter. In our Distribution and Storage Western Hemisphere (“Hudson”D&S West”).  The strength segment, first quarter 2020 backlog of $150.9 million is the highest in gross marginthe history of the business; up 18.7% over the first quarter of 2019 and 2.6% over the fourth quarter 2019. Distribution and Storage Eastern Hemisphere (“D&S East”) segment backlog of $221.0 million is the highest for that segment since the first quarter of 2015, aside from fourth quarter of 2019, which included a significant portion of PetroChina LNG related backlog that subsequently was cancelled.  Also worth noting is that we have not had any material cancellations in our backlog year to date in any segment.
First quarter 2020 sales of $321.1 million increased 11.0% from the first quarter of 2019 (decreased 1.1% organically), driven in part by restructuringsales of $34.9 million from our Air-X-Changers (“AXC”) business and additionalhigher sales from our systems and brazed aluminum heat exchangers within our Energy & Chemicals Cryogenics (“E&C Cryogenics”) segment as we started to execute on big LNG (“Liquefied Natural Gas”) FEED projects. Distribution & Storage (“D&S”) thirdorders.
First quarter 2020 gross margin as a percent of sales of 29.1% sequentially28.5% increased 340 basis points overfrom 23.2% in the secondfirst quarter of 2017.  Continued improvement in D&S cost structure2019 and increased from reductions in force taken this year combined with D&S European operational improvements contributed to the sequential increase. BioMedical third quarter gross margin as a percent of sales of 38.7% increased sequentially by 150 basis points, from 37.2%25.0% in the secondfourth quarter of 2017.  This reflects2019. The increase current quarter over prior year quarter was primarily driven by our E&C Cryogenics and our D&S East segments.
Outlook
Chart’s business is structurally very different during this anticipated downturn than the reduced cost structure fromlast downturn in the completion2014 to 2016 timeframe.  The composition of the Buffalo, New York respiratory facility consolidation. 
Marketportfolio of products we offer, the acquisition and order activity continues to increase yeardivestiture activities that have resulted in a much more diverse and geographically broad company and our cost reduction efforts to date with $258.0 million in orders receivedset us up for continued earnings and cash flow through an anticipated downturn.  Additionally, in the quarter, inclusive2014 to 2016 timeframe, we had virtually no aftermarket, service and repair revenue, while these now account for over 13% of $3.8total Chart revenue.  In the prior cycle, we were heavily reliant on one Big LNG project.  We now think of Big LNG as “icing on the cake” and have line of sight to growth in many of our base businesses across the cycle.  Finally, we have a much more diversified, global footprint which accesses applications and projects that previously were not economical.  A year and a half ago we sold into 21 countries.  We now work on projects and sell into over 70 countries.
Yet even with these changes, there remains a high amount of uncertainty surrounding the potential business impacts from COVID-19.  While we have not yet seen a meaningful impact on total bookings, although a shift from Energy & Chemicals FinFans (“E&C FinFans”) to D&S West and D&S East is expected, we are withdrawing our prior 2020 full year guidance until we have more clarity on the duration and severity of the situation.  While we think it is prudent holding off on issuing new guidance until the situation stabilizes, we can provide the following data points for 2020:
Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass project remains on schedule, with $100 million of orders from Hudson in the ten day Chart ownership period.  This is the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential order growth for Chart.  E&C orders in both the third and second quarters of 2017 were above $60 million, and BioMedical orders were up 7.3% sequentially over the second quarter of 2017 driven by continued demand for oxygen concentrators.  Backlog excluding third quarter acquisitions increased to $390.6 million from $367.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2017.  We anticipate this sequential order trend will continue to increase through year end, with specific project orders expected in the E&C business and in D&S Asia related to LNG vehicle tanks. 
On September 20, 2017, we closed on the acquisition of Hudson. The estimated purchase price is $419.4 million and Hudson’s results of operations are includedrevenue in our E&C Cryogenics segment since that date.   On August 31, 2017 we closed the acquisition of VCT Vogel (“VCT”).  The estimated purchase price is $4.1 million, and VCT’s resultsin 2020.
We are includedseeing a short-term increase in demand in our D&S segment sincemedical related products.  Products that date. 
Outlook
Our 2017we manufacture that can be used in these applications were 21% of total Chart revenue for the full year outlook reflects continued tempered energy prices related to core LNG E&C business, year-to-date order growth in our segments and the impact of current year acquisitions (Hetsco, Inc., Hudson, and VCT).  We continue to anticipate that the forecasted global supply/demand LNG gas balance will be reached in 2022-2023, thereby driving LNG export facility orders in late 2018 / early 2019. A majority of upcoming projects for U.S. LNG export have transitioned from utilizing traditional single train base load plants to multi-train mid-scale projects, with a modular approach to achieve baseload capacities. This is important to us because multi-train mid-scale may use Chart’s patented IPSMR technology as well as our brazed aluminum heat exchanger and cold boxes as the main liquefaction heat exchanger technology.
We continue to investexpect strong free cash flow generation in the year, and we have suspended our automation, process improvement, and productivity activities across the Company, with anticipated 2017 capital investment between $35share buyback program.
We continue to prioritize debt paydown.
Year-to-date, we have taken cost reductions totaling over $48.8 million and $45 million.of annualized savings.  This is inclusivein addition to the $38 million of capacity expansionsavings from cost reductions taken in our brazed aluminum heat exchanger La Crosse, Wisconsin facility which is2019. 
Our expected to be complete mid-2018 and totals approximately $24 million in capital spend, of which approximately $15 million is included in our anticipated 2017effective tax rate remains unchanged at 20% for the full year 2020. 
Our capital spend.
We expect fullexpenditures are flexible, and we will continue to assess the spend as the year restructuring costs to total $13.9 million of which $12.4 million has been incurredprogresses.  At this time, we anticipate capital expenditures spend will be in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The remaining restructuring costs relate$25 million to the corporate office relocation from Garfield Heights, Ohio to Ball Ground, Georgia and consolidation of certain facilities in China.  We expect the 2017 restructuring actions to provide annualized run rate savings of $15$30 million beginning with the first full year of savings in 2018.range.

The largest increases weredriven by sales of $34.9 million from AXC. AXC sales of $34.9 million are included in our E&C $22.9 million or 96.5%, and D&S, $12.6 million or 10.0%. E&C’s Lifecycle business, which includes results from the Hetsco acquisition, added $11.4 million in incremental sales to E&C duringFinFans segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of AXC, sales decreased slightly, which was primarily driven by the softness in demand for midstream and upstream compression equipment within our E&C’s Hudson acquisition added $6.1 million&C FinFans segment, partially offset by an increase in incrementalbig LNG sales towithin our E&C Cryogenics segment.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased both on a sequential quarter and quarter over prior year quarter basis on a consolidated basis and within three of our four operating segments: D&S sawEast, D&S West and E&C Cryogenics. Furthermore, in the first quarter of 2020, our E&C FinFans segment’s gross profit as a percentage of E&C FinFans segment sales, excluding AXC’s gross profit of $4.9 million, was 31.9% as compared to 27.2% in the first quarter of 2019, which is an improvement in all regionsof 4.7 percentage points on a quarter over prior year quarter basis.

During the largest increase in China, driven by stronger LNG-related product sales. Sequentially over the secondfirst quarter of 2017, the overall sales increase of $2.3 million was largely driven by sales incrementally added by the Hudson acquisition. This increase was partially offset by decreased sales in cryobiological applications within the BioMedical segment.
Gross profit increased during the third quarter of 2017 compared2020, we implemented certain cost reduction actions across all segments and corporate to the third quarter of 2016 by $0.8 million. Gross profit in the third quarter of 2016 included $15.1 millionappropriately size our workforce with demand as well as eliminate redundant work. Costs were primarily related to the impactheadcount reductions. These actions resulted in total restructuring costs of an insurance recovery received by the BioMedical segment for breaches of representations and warranties related to warranty costs for certain product lines acquired from AirSep Corporation (“AirSep”) in 2012. The increase is primarily due to gross profit added from the Hetsco and Hudson acquisitions in our E&C segment. Gross profit further increased as a result of higher volume at better margins in the D&S segment. Excluding the impact of the insurance recovery, BioMedical’s gross profit was up compared to the prior year on slightly higher sales. Sequentially over the second quarter of 2017, the increase in gross profit of $7.2$5.2 million, or 11.4%, was mainly driven by the E&C segment’s incremental margin from the Hudson acquisition and the D&S segment, where favorable product mix drove margins higher.
SG&A expenses increased by $11.3 million, or 24.8%, during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. During the third quarter of 2017, Corporate incurred $7.3 million of expenses associated with the Hudson acquisition. Sequentially over the second quarter of 2017, the SG&A expenses increase was primarily driven by acquisition-related expenses associated with the Hudson acquisition and restructuring.
Restructuring costs were related to the previously announced corporate office relocation, the Buffalo BioMedical respiratory consolidation to our Ball Ground, Georgia facilities and our Wuxi, China facility consolidation. Restructuring costs were $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 andwhich were recorded in cost of goods soldsales ($0.32.3 million) and SG&A ($2.42.9 million). Restructuring and consisted of mainly employee severance costs. These restructuring activities were substantially completed by the end of the first quarter 2020. We anticipate these restructuring actions will result in incremental annualized savings of $45 million. During the first quarter of 2019, we implemented certain cost reduction or avoidance actions, including facility closures and relocations. These actions were primarily related to the consolidation of certain of our facilities within our E&C Cryogenics and E&C FinFans segments, streamlining commercial activities within our Lifecycle business, geographic

Sales of trailers and engineered systems and tanks in Europe were favorable offset by lower sales in China due to COVID-19 related temporary shutdowns.
During the Hetsco acquisition, added $11.4 million in incremental sales to E&C during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and E&C’s Hudson acquisition added $6.1 million in incremental sales to E&C during the period of ownership from September 20, 2017 through September 30, 2017. Overall, the increase in sales was driven primarily by a continued increase in activity in the Natural Gas Liquids (“NGL”) and Petrochemical applications, while lower energy prices continued to have an impact on LNG related opportunities within the E&C segment.
For the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, E&C2020, D&S East segment gross profit increased by $8.2 million as compared to the same quarter in 2019, and the related margin percentage increased by 11.4 percentage points. This increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to higher volume and costs related to the closing of our China brazed aluminum heat exchanger facility that drove higher restructuring costs in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in the related margin percentage was primarily driven by favorable product mix in Europe and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.

D&S West segment sales decreased during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the same quarter in 2019 primarily due to the timing of revenue recognition relative to certain of our LNG products, partially offset by an increase in our packaged gas products, specifically oxygen-related packaged gas tanks.
D&S West segment gross profit decreased slightly during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the same quarter in 2019 primarily due to lower volume, while the related margin improvement was primarily driven by our parts and repairs services, packaged gas and standard tank products. Given the uncertainty around the length of the COVID-19 impacts, we have seen customers look at further utilizing their existing inventory and in turn, our aftermarket, service and repair business has picked up with D&S West parts, repair and service revenue up nearly 11% as compared to the first quarter 2019.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and will mature on August 1, 2018. The effective interest rate at issuance, under generally accepted accounting principles, was 7.9%.

However, the Company may elect to settle, at its discretion, any such excess value in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares. The initial conversion price of $69.03 per share represents a conversion premium of 30% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on July 28, 2011, the date of the Convertible Notes offering, which was $53.10 per share. The Convertible Notes are classified as current liabilities at September 30, 2017 as their maturity is within 12 months of the balance sheet date. At the end of the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, events for early conversion were not met;2020, on April 20, 2020, we amended our Fourth Amended and thus,Restated Credit Facility. The amendment, among other things, (i) adjusts the Convertible Notes were not convertible as of,pricing grid in order to accommodate potentially higher leverage ratios, (ii) adjusts factoring related definitions and for the fiscal quarter beginning October 1, 2017. There have been no conversions as of the date of this filing.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility: The Company has a five-year $450.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SSRCF”) which matures on October 29, 2019. The SSRCF includes a $25.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of swingline loans and a $100.0 million sub-limit to be used for letters of credit. There is a foreign currency limit of $100.0 million under the SSRCF which can be used for foreign currency denominated letters of credit and borrowings in a foreign currency, in each case in currencies agreed upon with the lenders. In addition, the facility permits borrowings up to $100.0 million made by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chart Industries Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“Chart Luxembourg”), and Chart Asia Investment Company Limited. The SSRCF also includes an expansion option permitting the Company to add up to an aggregate $200.0 million in term loans or revolving credit commitments from its lenders. Loans under the SSRCF bear interest at LIBOR or the Adjusted Base Rate as definedarrangements in the Debtfuture, (iii) incorporates a “cash hoarding” prevention covenant and (iv) incorporates various amendments to reflect interest rate floor and other changes to the Loan Syndications and Trading Association and Loan Market Association market standards for credit agreements.  The terms and conditions under our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Facility are otherwise substantially the same as those prior to the amendment. Our debt instruments and related covenants are described in Note 8, “Debt and Credit Arrangements noteArrangements” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, plus a margin that varies with the Company’s leverage ratio. Significant financial covenants for the SSRCF include a minimum liquidity requirement equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding six months prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes and when holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to require the Company to repurchase the Convertible Notes, a leverage ratio and an interest ratio. On September 19, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 2”) to its SSRCF to exclude the acquisition of Hudson from the pro forma leverage ratio requirement of the SSRCF. Concurrently with Amendment No. 2, the Company has exercised its right under the SSRCF to elect an increase in the maximum permissible leverage ratio thereunder to 3.75 for the four fiscal-quarter period ending September 30, 2018.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants, including its financial covenants at September 30, 2017. The Company is currently negotiating a refinancing of the SSRCF, which is expected to close in November 2017. We anticipate that the refinanced SSRCF will extend the current SSRCF maturity to 2022 and otherwise be similar in size, structure and collateral packages to the current SSRCF, along with other changes favorable to the Company and its subsidiaries.

We may repurchase a portion of our Convertible Notes on the open market from time to time to the extent permitted by our debt covenants with available cash. To the extent that we repurchase Convertible Notes, we would expect to enter into an agreement with each of the Option Counterparties to our convertible note hedge, warrants, and capped call agreements providing for the partial unwind of such agreements in a notional amount corresponding to the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes that we repurchase. We expect to satisfy the minimum liquidity requirement under our SSRCF during the six months prior to the August 1, 2018 maturity of the Convertible Notes as well as the ultimate payment of the Convertible Notes with some combination of cash and liquid investments, availability under the SSRCF or additional financing sources.

Orders and Backlog
We consider orders to be those for which we have received a firm signed purchase order or other written contractual commitment from the customer. Backlog is comprised of the portion of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments received from customers for which work has not been performed, or is partially completed, that we have not recognized as revenue upon shipment or under the percentage of completion method. Backlog can be significantly affected by the timing of orders for large projects, particularly in the E&C segment, and is not necessarily indicative of future backlog levels or the rate at which backlog will be recognized as sales. Orders included in our backlog may include customary cancellation provisions under which the customer could cancel part or all of the order, potentially subject to the payment of certain costs and/or fees. Backlog may be negatively impacted by ability or likelihood of customers to fulfill their obligations.excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company’sour operations are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency values that can affect the cost of operating and financing. Accordingly, the Company addresseswe address a portion of these risks through a program of risk management.
Interest Rate Risk: The Company’s Our primary interest rate risk exposure results from the SSRCF’s various floating rate pricing mechanisms. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points (2 percent) from the weighted-average interest rate of 4.00%2.29% at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and assuming no changes in the $300.0$100.1 million of borrowings outstanding under the SSRCF at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, our additional annual expense would be approximately $6.0$2.0 million on a pre-tax basis. For future quarters, the interest rate will increase somewhat as a result of our $450 million in borrowings under a new term loan on July 1, 2019 in connection with the closing of the AXC acquisition.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’sour most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting except that on September 20, 2017 the Company acquired RCHPH Holdings, Inc. (“Hudson”). As a result, the Company is currently integrating Hudson’s operations into its overall system of internal control over financial reporting. Under the guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year of acquisition. Accordingly, we expect to exclude Hudson from the assessment of internal control over financial reporting for 2017.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As disclosed in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies”, Chart was named in lawsuits (including purported class action lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California) filed against Chart and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of a stainless steel cryobiological storage tank (model MVE 808AF-GB) at the Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco, California, and Chart has also been named in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Chart and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of an aluminum cryobiological storage tank (model FNL XC 47/11-6 W/11) at The Toronto Institute for Reproductive Medicine in Etobicoke, Ontario.  We hereby incorporate by reference into this Item 1 the disclosure under the headings “Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies – Stainless Steel Cryobiological Tank Legal Proceedings” and “Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies – Aluminum Cryobiological Tank Legal Proceedings”. 
Although we have not completed our factual investigations into these proceedings, which remain in their early stages, we believe that we have strong factual and legal defenses to the claims and intend to vigorously assert such defenses.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of a widespread health epidemic. The present coronavirus (or COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted our operations and could affect our business, as government authorities impose mandatory closures, work-from-home orders and social distancing protocols or impose other restrictions that could materially adversely affect our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operations. While our production is considered “essential” in all locations we operate in, we have experienced, and may experience in the future, temporary facility closures while awaiting appropriate government approvals in certain jurisdictions. The COVID-19 outbreak could also disrupt our supply chain and materially adversely impact our ability to secure supplies for our facilities, which could materially adversely affect our operations. There may also be long-term effects on our customers in and the economies of affected countries. If the economy or markets in which we operate remain weak or deteriorate further, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” of the Company’sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2019.
