ASTEC INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise specified)

Note 1.  Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. In particular, a number of estimates have been and will continue to be affected by the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of COVID-19, are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to COVID-19. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets and investment securities and incremental credit losses on receivables, among other issues.
Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.2020. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Astec Industries, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

2019.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20182019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company's sales and profit results were impacted in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Determining the extent of variances and fluctuations from COVID-19 has been difficult because there have been no easily discernible trends or patterns to the Company's business. However, the Company expects that its results of operations in the third quarter of 2020 may reflect an increase in the severity of the impact of the effects of COVID-19, as well as negative impacts to subsequent periods. The Company continues to monitor the effects of COVID-19 on its reported sales and profit results and has taken steps to ensure employee and visitor safety, adequate liquidity and business continuity during this pandemic.
Certain reclassifications have been made in amounts previously reported have been made to conform to current year presentation.

Dollar and share amounts shown are in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise specified.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which significantly changes the accounting for operating leases by lessees. The accounting applied by lessors is largely unchanged from that applied under previous guidance. The new guidance establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model and requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for leases which were classified as operating leases under previous guidance. Lease cost included in the statements of income will be calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. Lessees may make an accounting policy election to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less from the requirement to record related assets and liabilities. Certain provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 were later modified or clarified by the issuance of ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” and ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”. A modified retrospective transition approach is required by the ASU and its provisions must be applied to all leases existing at the date of initial application.  An entity may choose to use either (1) the standard’s effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application.  The new standards were effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and the Company adopted the new standards effective January 1, 2019 using the effective date as the date of initial application.  Consequently, financial information and the disclosures required under the new standards have not been provided for periods prior to January 1, 2019.  The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 10, Leases, for additional information regarding the Company’s adoption of these standards.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The standard changes how credit losses are measured for most financial assets and certain other instruments that currently are not measured through net income. The standard will requirerequires an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost as opposed to the current incurred loss approach. In valuing available for sale debt securities, allowances will be required to be recorded, rather than the current approach of reducing the carrying amount, for other than temporary impairments. A cumulative adjustment to retained earnings is to be recorded as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reflect the impact of applying the provisions of the standard. The standard is effective for public companies for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and the Company expects to adoptadopted the new standard as of January 1, 2020. As the Company’s credit losses are typically minimal, the Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard todid not have a materialsignificant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

flows and no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings was necessitated.

INDEX

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Hedging Activities”, to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted in any interim period after its issuance. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019. The application of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which permitspermitted companies to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”AOCI”) as a result of U.S. tax reform impacting tax rates or other items, such as changing from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, from OCIAOCI to retained earnings. Other tax effects stranded in OCIAOCI due to other reasons, such as prior changes in tax laws or changes in valuation allowances, maycould not be reclassified. The new standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and the Company adopted its provisions as of January 1, 2019. As a result of adopting this new standard, the Company reclassified $721$0.7 million of previously stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings as shown on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of equity forin the six monthsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2019.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which aims to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing fair value measurement disclosures. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this new standard.standard effective January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard todid not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted in interim or annual periods if the Company has not yet issued financial statements. If the Company elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period, it should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period and must adopt all amendments in the same period applying all guidance prospectively, except for certain amendments. The Company has not determined the impact of the statement’s provision on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting (or the recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This was in response to stakeholders raising certain operational challenges likely to arise in accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting because of reference rate reform. Some of those challenges relate to the significant volume of contracts and other arrangements, such as debt agreements, lease agreements, and derivative instruments, which will be modified to replace references to discontinued rates with references to replacement rates. For accounting purposes, such contract modifications are required to be evaluated in determining whether the modifications result in the establishment of new contracts or the continuation of existing contracts. Stakeholders indicated that due to the significant volume of affected contracts and other arrangements, together with a compressed time frame for making contract modifications, the application of existing accounting standards on assessing modifications versus extinguishments could be costly and burdensome. In addition, stakeholders indicated that financial reporting results should reflect the intended continuation of such contracts and arrangements during the period of the market-wide transition to alternative reference rates. This new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company has yet to determine what effects, if any, this will have on their debt instrument.
Note 2.  Earnings per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share include the potential dilutive effect of restricted stock units and shares held in the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

Finished goods36,304  53,650  
Used equipment7,237  18,727  
Total$263,171  $294,536  
Raw materials and parts are comprised of purchased steel and other purchased items for use in the manufacturing process or held for sale for the after-market parts business. The category also includes the manufacturing cost of completed equipment sub-assemblies produced for either integration into equipment manufactured at a later date or for sale in the Company’s after-market parts business.

Work-in-process consists of the value of materials, labor and overhead incurred to date in the manufacturing of incomplete equipment or incomplete equipment sub-assemblies being produced.

Finished goods consist of completed equipment manufactured for sale to customers.

Used equipment consists of equipment accepted in trade or purchased on the open market. The category also includes equipment rented to prospective customers on a short-term or month-to-month basis. Used equipment is valued at the lower of acquired or trade-in cost or net realizable value determined on each separate unit. Each unit of rental equipment is valued at the lower of original manufacturing, acquired or trade-in cost or net realizable value.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value, which requires the Company to make specific estimates, assumptions and judgments in determining the amount, if any, of reductions in the valuation of inventories to their net realizable values. The net realizable values of the Company’s products are impacted by a number of factors, including changes in the price of steel, competitive sales pricing, quantities of inventories on hand, the age of the individual inventory items, market acceptance of the Company’s products, actions by our competitors, the condition of our used and rental inventory and general economic factors. Once an inventory item’s value has been deemed to be less than cost, a net realizable value adjustment is calculated and a new “cost basis” for that item is effectively established. This new cost is retained for that item until such time as the item is disposed of or the Company determines that an additional write-down is necessary. Additional write-downs may be required in the future based upon changes in assumptions due to general economic downturns in the markets in which the Company operates, changes in competitor pricing, new product design or other technological advances introduced by the Company or its competitors and other factors unique to individual inventory items.

9

INDEX
The most significant component of the Company’s inventory is steel. A significant decline in the market price of steel could result in a decline in the market value of the Company’s equipment or parts. During periods of significant declining steel prices, the Company reviews the valuation of its inventories to determine if reductions are needed in the recorded value of inventory on hand to its net realizable value.

The Company reviews the individual items included in its finished goods, used equipment and rental equipment inventory on a model-by-model or unit-by-unit basis to determine if any item’s net realizable value is below its carrying value. This analysis is expanded to include items in work-in-process and raw material inventory if factors indicate those items may also be impacted. In performing this review, judgments are made and, in addition to the factors discussed above, additional consideration is given to the age of the specific items of used or rental inventory, prior sales offers or lack thereof, the physical condition of the specific items and general market conditions for the specific items. Additionally, an analysis of raw material inventory is performed to calculate reserves needed for obsolete inventory based upon quantities of items on hand, the age of those items and their recent and expected future usage or sale.

11

When the Company determines that the value of inventory has become impaired through damage, deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, excessive levels of inventory or other causes, the Company reduces the carrying value to the net realizable value based on estimates, assumptions and judgments made from the information available at that time. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling cost and wasted materials are recognized as current period charges.

Note 5.  Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation of $262,001$266.5 million and $254,493$267.7 million as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

Note 6.  Fair Value Measurements
The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including marketable debt and equity securities held by Astec Insurance Company (“Astec Insurance”), the Company’s captive insurance company, andcompany; marketable equity securities held in an unqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”).; and a money market fund held by a foreign subsidiary. The obligations of the Company associated with the financial assets held in the SERP also constitute a liability of the Company for financial reporting purposes and are included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s subsidiaries also occasionally enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and contract assets, other receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt and long-term debt approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature and/or interest rates associated with the instruments. Investments are carried at their fair value based on quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or, where no quoted prices exist, other observable inputs for the asset. The fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are based on quotations from various banks for similar instruments using models with market based inputs.

Financial assets and liabilities are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The inputs used to measure the fair value are identified in the following hierarchy:

Level 1 -Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 -Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

As indicated in the tables below (which excludes the Company’s pension assets), the Company has determined that all of its financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as defined above:

Note 9.10.  Accrued Loss Reserves
The Company records reserves for losses related to known workers’ compensation and general liability claims that have been incurred but not yet paid or are estimated to have been incurred but not yet reported to the Company. The undiscounted reserves are actuarially determined based on the Company’s evaluation of the type and severity of individual claims and historical information, primarily its own claims experience, along with assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the future. Total accrued loss reserves were $8,490$6.7 million and $6.8 million as of June 30, 20192020 and $7,889 as of December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, of which $6,565$4.3 million and $6,057$4.5 million were included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

Note 10.11.  Leases
The Company leases certain real estate, computer systems, material handling equipment, offices, automobiles and other equipment. The Company determines if a contract is a lease (or contains an embedded lease) at the inception of the agreement. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02,2016-2, Leases, on January 1, 2019 using the effective date method. Upon adoption, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets totaling $4,993$5.0 million were recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Incremental borrowing rates used in the calculation of the ROU asset, when not apparent in the lease agreements, were estimated based upon secured borrowing rates quoted by the Company’s banks for loans of various lengths ranging from one year to 20 years. Operating leases with original maturities less than one year in duration were excluded. The calculation of the ROU asset considered lease agreement provisions concerning termination, extensions, end of lease purchase and whether or not those provisions were reasonably certain of being exercised. Certain agreements contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. The financial results for periods prior to January 1, 2019 are unchanged from results previously reported.  No cumulative effect adjustment was necessary at the time of adoption. Based upon a contract review and related calculations, none of the Company’s leases were deemed to be financing leases.  Lease expense recorded in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 under ASC 842 was not materially different from lease expense that would have been recorded under the previous lease accounting standard.  Other transitional practical expedients allowed under ASU No. 2016-02 were adopted.

Revenue is generally recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and generally occurs with the transfer of control of the product or services at a point in time. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of products at a specified price with specific delivery terms. A significant portion of the Company’s equipment sales represents equipment produced in the Company’s manufacturing facilities under short-term contracts for a customer’s project or equipment designed to meet a customer’s requirements. Most of the equipment sold by the Company is based on standard configurations, some of which are modified to meet customer’s needs or specifications. The Company provides customers with technical design and performance specifications and typically performs pre-shipment testing, when feasible, to ensure the equipment performs according to the customer’s need, regardless of whether the Company provides installation services in addition to selling the equipment. Significant down payments are required on many equipment orders with other terms allowing for payment shortly after shipment, typically 30 days. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, such as sales, use, value-added and some excise taxes, are excluded from revenue. Expected warranty costs for our standard warranties are expensed at the time the related revenue is recognized. Costs of obtaining sales contracts with an expected duration of one year or less are expensed as incurred. As contracts are typically fulfilled within one year from the date of the contract, revenue adjustments for a potential financing component or the costs to obtain the contract are not made.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had contract assets of $25 thousand, and contract liabilities of $5.1 million, including $3.4 million of deferred revenue related to extended warranties. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had contract assets of $4.7 million, primarily related to billings on one large ($7.2 million) order in the Infrastructure Solutions segment, and contract liabilities of $6.5 million, including $3.5 million of deferred revenue related to extended warranties.
Depending on the terms of the arrangement with the customer, recognition of a portion of the consideration received may be deferred and recorded as a contract liability if we have to satisfy a future obligation, such as to provide installation assistance, service work to be performed in the future without charge, floor plan interest to be reimbursed to our dealer customers, payments for extended warranties, for annual rebates given to certain high volume customers or for obligations for future estimated returns to be allowed based upon historical trends.

Certain contracts include terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company recognizes revenues upon the completion of production, and the equipment is subsequently stored at the Company’s plant at the customer’s request. Revenue is recorded on such contracts upon the customer’s assumption of title and risk of ownership, which transfers control of the equipment, and when collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, there must be a fixed schedule of delivery of the goods consistent with the customer’s business practices, the Company must not have retained any specific performance obligations such that the earnings process is not complete and the goods must have been segregated from the Company’s inventory prior to revenue recognition.

INDEX
Service and Equipment Installation Revenue – Purchasers of certain of the Company’s equipment often contract with the Company to provide installation services. Installation is typically separately priced in the contract based upon observable market prices for stand-alone performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. The Company may also provide future services on equipment sold at the customer’s request, which may be for equipment repairs after the warranty period expires. Service is billed on a cost plus margin approach or at a standard rate per hour.

Used Equipment Sales – Used equipment is obtained by trade-in on new equipment sales, as a separate purchase in the open market or from the Company’s equipment rental business. Revenues from the sale of used equipment are recognized upon transfer of control to the customer at agreed upon pricing.

Freight Revenue – Under a practical expedient allowed under ASU No. 2014-09,2014-9, the Company records revenues earned for shipping and handling as revenue at the time of shipment, regardless of whether or not it is identified as a separate performance obligation. The cost of shipping and handling is classified as cost of goods sold concurrently.

Other Revenues – Miscellaneous revenues and offsets not associated with one of the above classifications primarily include rental revenues, extended warranty revenues, early pay discounts and floor plan interest reimbursements.

The Company currently monitors credit levels and financial conditions of customers on a continuing basis. After considering historical trends for uncollectible accounts, current economic conditions and specific customer recent payment history and financial stability, each business unit records an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover all probable future credit losses as of the balance sheet date. The current policy for calculating the reserve uses the rolling twelve-month bad debt write-offs, net of recoveries, divided by the rolling twelve-month average accounts receivable balance. The Company believes the twelve-month “look-back” is most representative of current credit worthiness of the customer. After adjustments for credit balances, that percentage is then applied to the current month end accounts receivable balance to arrive at the amount to reserve. Once the reserve is calculated, each business unit reviews their accounts receivable for any known customer accounts that should be added to the reserve based on their expectation of future economic conditions that might impact the customer, which would currently include the impact of COVID-19. At a minimum, the reserve balance should equal the calculated amount before specifically reserved items.Thus, each business unit records their accounts receivable at an amount expected to be collected and, therefore, incorporates expected credit losses.
Amounts are deemed past due when they exceed the payment terms agreed to by the customer in the sales contract. Past due amounts are charged off when reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and the amounts are deemed uncollectible by management. The majority of the Company’s receivables within the scope of this topic are related to equipment that requires significant down payment with other terms allowing for payment shortly after shipment, typically 30 days, which the Company believes is very short term in nature. The significant down payment requirement leads to lower write-offs because it requires an upfront commitment by customers and they ultimately don’t want to lose their upfront investment. The 30-day payment requirement after shipment allows us to quickly assess where a customer stands on their account and lets us begin collect efforts.

Note 14.15.  Contingent Matters
Certain customers have financed purchases of Company products through arrangements in which the Company is contingently liable for customer debt of $2,675$1.7 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2019.2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These arrangements expire at various dates through December 2023March 2024 and provide that the Company will receive the lender's full security interest in the equipment financed if the Company is required to fulfill its contingent liability under these arrangements. Additionally, the Company is also potentially liable for 1.75% of the unpaid balance, determined as of December 31 of the prior year, on certain past customer equipment purchases that were financed by an outside finance company (the maximum exposure for the Company in 2020 is $0.6 million). The Company has recorded a liability of $1,453$2.1 million related to these guarantees as of June 30, 2019.2020.

The Company reviews off balance sheet guarantees individually, and at the loss pool level based on one agreement. Prior history is considered in regard to the Company having to perform on any off balance sheet guarantees, as well as future projections of individual customer credit worthiness. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company considered the implications of COVID-19 in regard to assessing credit losses related to off balance sheet guarantees.
In addition, the Company is contingently liable under letters of credit issued by a domestic lender totaling $8,630$8.8 million as of June 30, 2019,2020, including $3,200$3.2 million of letters of credit guaranteeing certain Astec Brazil bank debt. The outstanding letters of credit expire at various dates through December 2020.June 2023. As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are contingently liable for a total of $3,358$2.7 million in performance letters of credit, advance payments and retention guarantees.

The Company manufactured its first wood pellet plant for a customer located in Georgia under a Company-financed arrangement whereby the Company deferred the recognition of revenue as payment under the arrangement was not assured.  After considering the uncertainty of completing the sale to the existing customer due to their unsuccessful attempts to obtain financing; the lack of success in attempting to market the plant to other pellet plant operators; the cost of repossessing the plant; and the Company’s decision to exit the pellet plant business line, the pellet plant inventory’s net realizable value was written down to zero in the fourth quarter of 2018.  The sale of the Georgia pellet plant was ultimately recognized at the end of the second quarter of 2019 upon the receipt of the discounted $20,000 sales price.

The Company and certain of its current and former executive officers have been named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit filed on February 1, 2019, as amended on August 26, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The action is styled City of Taylor General Employees Retirement System v. Astec Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-00024-PLR-CHS. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and misleading statements and that the individual defendants are control person under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint was filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s stock between July 26, 2016 and October 22, 2018 and seeks monetary damages on behalf of the purported class. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously and has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on October 25, 2019. The Company has accrued a $0.6 million liability as of June 30, 2020.
The Company's GEFCO subsidiary has been named a defendant in a lawsuit originally filed on August 16, 2018 with an amended complaint filed on January 25, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. The action is styled VenVer S.A. and Americas Coil Tubing LLP v. GEFCO, Inc., Case No. CIV-18-790-SLP. The complaint alleges breaches of warranty and other similar claims regarding equipment sold by GEFCO in 2013. In addition to seeking a rejection (rescission) of the purchase contract, the plaintiff is seeking special and consequential damages. The purchase contract contains an exclusion of consequential damages. The original purchase price of the equipment was approximately $8.5 million. GEFCO disputes the plaintiff’s allegations and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously. The Company is unable to determine whether or not a future loss will be incurred due to this litigation or estimate the possible loss ora range of loss, if any, at this time.

The Company is currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss (excluding estimated legal fees) or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point within the range is more probable than another. As management becomes aware of additional information concerning such contingencies, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is either (i) probable but cannot be reasonably estimated or (ii) reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record the amount of the loss, but does make specific disclosure of such matter. Based upon currently available information and with the advice of counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome of its current claims and legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and rulings unfavorable to the Company could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Note 15.  Shareholders’ Equity16.  Share-Based Compensation
Under the Company’s long-term incentive plans, key members of management may be issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) each year based upon the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. The number of RSUs granted to employees each year is determined based upon the performance of individual subsidiaries and consolidated financial performance. Generally, for RSUs granted through 2016, each award will vest at the end of five years from the date of grant, or at the time a recipient retires after reaching age 65, if earlier. Awards granted in 2017 and thereafter2018 will vest at the end of three years from the date of grant or at the time a recipient retires after reaching age 65, if earlier. Awards granted in 2019 and thereafter will vest ratably, at the end of each year from the date of grant, over a three-year period. Awards granted through February 2020 were granted based upon past performance and were typically granted each year, shortly after the end of the year. Beginning in March 2020, the incentive plan was modified to award a combination of RSUs and Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) which are granted in March each year based upon performance targets for the next three years, as approved by the Company’s board of directors. 50% percent of the awards granted are time based vesting RSUs and the other 50% percent are performance based awards granted at the plan’s targeted performance. The actual number of PSUs ultimately vesting can vary from 0 to 200% of target, based upon the Company performance. Additional RSUs are granted to the Company’s outside directors under the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan with a one-year vesting period.

A total of 22 and 32 RSUs vested duringDuring the six-month periodssix months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively.  The Company withheld 4 and 8 shares due to statutory payroll tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of the RSUs during each of the first six-month periods in 2019 and 2018, respectively, and used Company funds to remit the related required minimum withholding taxes to the various tax authorities.  The vesting date fair value of the RSUs that vested during the first six months of 2019 and 2018 was $777 and $1,853, respectively.  The grant date fair value of the RSUs granted duringbased upon past performance was $3.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

The Company, as we refer to it herein, consists of a total of 2225 companies that are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements, whichstatements. The companies include 17 manufacturing companies, three companies that operate as dealers for the manufacturing companies, a captive insurance company and the parent company. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company completed an internal reorganization of its reportable segments from three to two reportable segments (plus Corporate) and such segments are organized, operated and managed based on the products and services offered by the business units included in each segment.
Amounts previously reported under the previous segment structure have been restated to conform to the new segment structure. Additionally, in both internal and external communications, the Company is transitioning references to each individual business unit by a name associated with its location, as compared to previous references to the subsidiary company names. A brief description of each segment is as follows:

Corporate category.
The Company’s financial performance is affected by a number of factors, including the cyclical nature and varying conditions of the markets it serves. Demand in these markets fluctuates in response to overall economic conditions and is particularly sensitive to the amount of public sector spending on infrastructure development, privately funded infrastructure development, changes in the prices of liquid asphalt, oil and natural gas and steel.

Federal funding provides a significant portion of all highway, street, roadway and parking construction in the United States. The Company believes that federal highway funding influences the purchasing decisions of the Company’s customers, who are typically more comfortable making capital equipment purchases with long-term federal legislation in place.

INDEX

In July 2012, the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act” (“Map-21”) was approved by the U.S. federal government, which authorized $105 billion of federal spending on highway and public transportation programs through fiscal year 2014. In August 2014, the U.S. government approved short-term funding of $10.8 billion through May 2015. Federal transportation funding operated on short-term appropriations until December 4, 2015 when the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (“FAST Act”) was signed into law. The $305 billion FAST Act approved funding for highways of approximately $205 billion and transit projects of approximately $48 billion for the five-year period ending September 30, 2020.

The Company believes a multi-year highway program (such as the FAST Act) will have the greatest positive impact on the road construction industry and allows its customers to plan and execute longer-term projects. Given the inherent uncertainty in the political process, the level of governmental funding for federal highway projects will similarly continue to be uncertain. Since elected in late 2016, the current executive branch of the federal government has stressed that one of its priorities is a new infrastructure bill including increased funding for roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, railroads, ports and waterways, pipelines, clean water infrastructure, energy infrastructure and telecommunication needs. Proposals being considered may rely in part on direct federal spending as well as increased private sector funding in exchange for federal tax credits. Governmental funding that is committed or earmarked for federal highway projects is always subject to repeal or reduction. Although continued funding under the FAST Act or funding of a bill passed by the new administration is expected, it may be at lower levels than originally approved or anticipated. In addition, Congress could pass legislation in future sessions that would allow for diversion of previously appropriated highway funds for other purposes, or it could restrict funding of infrastructure projects unless states comply with certain federal policies. The level of future federal highway construction is uncertain and any future funding may be at levels lower than those currently approved or that have been approved in the past.

The public sector spending described above is needed to fund road, bridge and mass transit improvements. The Company believes that increased funding is unquestionably needed to restore the nation’s highways to a quality level required for safety, fuel efficiency and mitigation of congestion. In the Company’s opinion, amounts needed for such improvements are significantly greater than amounts approved to date, and funding mechanisms such as the federal usage fee per gallon of gasoline, which is still at the 1993 level of 18.4 cents per gallon, would likely need to be increased along with other measures to generate the funds needed.

In addition to public sector funding, the economies in the markets the Company serves, the price of liquid asphalt, the price of oil and natural gas, and the price of steel may each affect the Company’s financial performance. Economic downturns generally result in decreased purchasing by the Company’s customers, which, in turn, causes reductions in sales and increased pricing pressure on the Company’s products. Rising interest rates also typically negatively impact customers’ attitudes toward purchasing equipment. The Federal Reserve has maintained historically low interest rates in response to the economic downturn which began in 2009; however, the Federal Reserve has increased the Federal Funds Rate2009 with several timesrate adjustments (both up and down) in recent quarters, beginning in December 2016, with a 0.2570 decrease occuring in July 2019.years. The current Federal Funds Rate is still considered in the historically low range and future rate changes may occur.

27

Significant portions of the Company’s revenues from the Infrastructure Solutions Group relate to the sale of equipment involved in the production, handling, recycling or application of asphalt mix. Liquid asphalt is a by-product of oil refining. An increase or decrease in the price of oil impacts the cost of asphalt, which is likely to alter demand for asphalt and, therefore, affectaffects demand for certain Company products. While increasing oil prices may have a negative financial impact on many of the Company’s customers, the Company’s equipment can use a significant amount of recycled asphalt pavement, thereby partially mitigating the effect of increased oil prices on the final cost of asphalt for the customer. The Company continues to develop products and initiatives to reduce the amount of oil and related products required to produce asphalt. Oil price volatility makes it difficult to predict the costs of oil-based products used in road construction such as liquid asphalt and gasoline. OilWhile current oil prices are at recent record lows, oil prices have routinely fluctuated in recent years and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. Minor fluctuations in oil prices should not have a significant impact on customers’ buying decisions. Other factors such as political uncertainty in oil producing countries, interruptions in oil production due to disasters, whether natural or man-made, or other economic factors could significantly impact oil prices, which could negatively impact demand for the Company’s products. The Company believes the continued funding of the FAST Act federal highway bill passed in December 2015, together with the prospect of potential replacement funding, have a greater potential to impact the buying decisions of the Company’s customers than does the fluctuation of oil prices in 2019.

2020 and 2021.
Contrary to the impact of oil prices on many of the Company’sasphalt related Infrastructure Solutions Group products as discussed above, theother products manufactured by the Energy Group,Company, which are used in drilling for oil and natural gas, in heaters for refineries and oil sands, and in double fluid pump trailers for fracking and oil and gas extraction, would benefit from higher oil and natural gas prices, to the extent that such higher prices lead to increased development in the oil and natural gas production industries. The Company believes further development of domestic oil and natural gas production capabilities is needed and would positively impact demand for the Company’s oil and gas related products.

INDEX
Steel is a major component in the Company’s equipment. Steel prices which declined slightlyduring the second quarter of 2020 due to the unprecedented fall in demand as a result of the first six monthseffects of 2019, areCOVID-19. Mills responded by adjusting their production capacity to meet lower demand. Prices remained stable at these lower levels as supply was balanced to demand. Steel outlook is expected to remain stable forduring the third quarter of 2019.  The Company expects moderate steel price increases in the fourth quarter of 2019.2020 with no change to demand drivers. The Company will continue to utilize forward looking contracts when it deems conditions are appropriate (with no minimum or specified quantity guarantees) to minimize the impact of any price increases. The CompanyWe will review thecontinue to monitor trends in steel prices in 20192020 and establish future contract pricing accordingly.

In addition to the factors stated above, many of the Company’s markets are highly competitive, and its products compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and dealers that produce and sell similar products. From 2010 through mid-2012, a weak U.S. dollar, combined with improving economic conditions in certain foreign economies, had a positive impact on the Company’s international sales. The continued strengthened U.S. dollar since mid-2012, including significant strengthening in 2020, has negatively impacted pricing in certain foreign markets the Company serves. The Company expects the U.S. dollar to remain strong in the near term relative to most foreign currencies. Increasing domesticDomestic interest rates rising in the future or weakening economic conditions abroad could cause the U.S. dollar to further strengthen, which could negatively impact the Company’s international sales.

In the United States and internationally, the Company’s equipment is marketed directly to customers as well as through dealers. During 2018,2019, approximately 60% of the Company’s sales were to the end user. The Company expects this ratio to be between 60% and 70% for 2019.2020.

TheAs mentioned above, the Company has recently transitioned from a decentralized management structure to a matrix organizational management structure with major directives and decisions being made at the segment and/or parent company level. Subsidiary president positions, with responsibility for the performance of all aspects of their local company, have been eliminated. Performance is operated on a centrally led, but decentralized basis, with a complete operating managementnow evaluated at the consolidated and separate segment levels. Performance of individual subsidiaries/sites is the responsibility of segment senior managers and segment functional team for each operating subsidiary. Finance,leaders under their direction. Senior finance, insurance, legal, shareholder relations, corporate accounting and other corporate matters are primarily managed at the corporateCorporate level (i.e., Astec Industries, Inc., the parent company). The engineering, design, sales, manufacturing and basic accounting functions are the responsibility of each individual subsidiary. Standard accounting procedures are prescribed and followed in all reporting.

Beginning inDuring 2018 and continuing through mid-2019, the Company retained the services of a specialized consulting firm to assist with the accumulation of company-wide purchasing data andincluding a system for maintaining similarthe data in the future for management to utilize in negotiations with suppliers or potential suppliers in order to obtain reduced prices on raw materials and equipment components purchased. The firm also assisted with the development of sales and operational planning procedures designed to achieve significant reductions in inventory levels maintained for normal production needs and to reduce existing excess inventories. The Company expects the results of these efforts to positively impact its gross margins and inventory levels infor the remainder of 20192020 and thereafter.

Georgia Pellet Plant Agreement (Q2 2019)Impact of COVID-19
The Company manufacturedCOVID-19 outbreak has caused significant disruptions to national and global economies. Our U.S. based businesses are designated as “Critical Manufacturing” infrastructure companies by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and, as such, have remained open. Two of our foreign operations in the Materials Solutions Group, located in Northern Ireland and South Africa, as dictated by their local governments, temporarily ceased manufacturing activities in late March 2020. The South Africa site reopened on May 4, 2020 and the Northern Ireland facility reopened on May 11, 2020. The Company's top priority is to protect its first wood pellet plant for a customer under a Company-financed arrangement wherebyemployees and their families, its customers and suppliers and its operations from any adverse impacts by taking precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and local governments. In early March 2020, the Company deferred the recognition of revenue as payment under the arrangement was not assured.  After considering the uncertainty of completing the sale to the customer due to its inability to obtain financing; the lack of success in attempting to market the plant toformed a COVID-19 task force, which continually monitors information from government agencies, our sites, customers, suppliers and other pellet plant operators; the cost of repossessing the plant; and the Company’s decision to exit the pellet plant business line, the pellet plant inventory’s net realizable value was written down to zero in the fourth quarter of 2018.sources. The Company ultimately soldhas enacted several policies to combat the pellet plantspread of the virus and keep our employees and visitors safe, including work at home initiatives, limits on employee travel, visitors policies, cleaning and disinfecting procedures and mandated temperature checks for visitors and employees. We are utilizing technology to the original customer at a discounted sales price of $20,000 at the end ofhold meetings virtually as business permits. During the second quarter of 2019.2020, the impact on our sales and financial results was largely driven by the international site closures due to COVID-19. No significant additional costs to our business were identified in the second quarter of 2020. Determining the extent of variances and fluctuations from COVID-19 has been difficult because there have been no easily discernible trends or patterns to our business. However, we expect an increase in the impact from COVID-19 to our business in the third quarter and possibly thereafter. While we expect this situation to be temporary, any longer-term impact to our business is currently unknown due to the uncertainty around the outbreak’s duration and its broader impact. As part of our strategic planning, management has prepared several fluid business models including specific actions to take in the future, depending on the magnitude of the virus on our business levels. The sales agreement also included provisionsCompany’s strong balance sheet, including $119.8 million of cash on hand, no borrowings under its domestic $150.0 million bank line of credit, only $1.5 million of debt outstanding on its foreign banking arrangements and $25.7 million of cash received (included in cash on hand) from the U.S. tax refund request filed due to releasechanges in net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback rules under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, will aid the Company in withstanding possible future negative impacts of COVID-19. As discussed elsewhere in this report, as part of the Company’s management transition from any further financial obligationsa decentralized management model to a matrix organizational management structure, the Company has taken numerous steps to increase the efficiency in its operations. While COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the Company’s second quarter 2020 operations, management has prepared several scenarios of possible future impacts and related costs and cash savings action steps to take as the plant.  Sales related to this pellet plant sale are included incircumstances dictate.

Contingencies
Certain customers have financed purchases of Company products through arrangements in which the Company is contingently liable for customer debt of $1.7 million at June 30, 2020. These arrangements expire at various dates through March 2024 and provide that the Company will receive the lender's full security interest in the equipment financed if the Company is required to fulfill its contingent liability under these arrangements. Additionally, the Company is also potentially liable for 1.75% of the unpaid balance, determined as of December 31st of the prior year, on certain past customer equipment purchases that were financed by an outside finance company (the maximum exposure for the Company in 2020 is $0.6 million). The Company manufactured its first wood pellet planthas recorded a liability of $2.1 million related to these guarantees as of June 30, 2020.

In addition, the Company is contingently liable under letters of credit issued by a domestic lender totaling $8.8 million as of June 30, 2020, including $3.2 million of letters of credit guaranteeing certain Astec Brazil bank debt. The outstanding letters of credit expire at various dates through June 2023. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are contingently liable for a customer locatedtotal of $2.7 million in Georgiaperformance letters of credit, advance payments and retention guarantees. The maximum potential amount of future payments under a Company-financed arrangement wherebythese letters of credit and guarantees for which the Company deferred the recognitioncould be liable is $11.5 million as of revenue as payment under the arrangement was not assured.  After considering the uncertainty of completing the sale to the existing customer due to their unsuccessful attempts to obtain financing; the lack of success in attempting to market the plant to other pellet plant operators; the cost of repossessing the plant; and the Company’s decision to exit the pellet plant business line, the pellet plant inventory’s net realizable value was written down to zero in the fourth quarter of 2018.  The sale of the Georgia pellet plant was ultimately recognized at the end of the second quarter of 2019 upon the receipt of the discounted $20,000 sales price.

The Company and certain of its current and former executive officers have been named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit filed on February 1, 2019, as amended on August 26, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The action is styled City of Taylor General Employees Retirement System v. Astec Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-00024-PLR-CHS. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and misleading statements and that the individual defendants are control person under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint was filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s stock between July 26, 2016 and October 22, 2018 and seeks monetary damages on behalf of the purported class. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on October 25, 2019. The Company has accrued a $0.6 million liability as of June 30, 2020.
The Company's GEFCO subsidiary has been named a defendant in a lawsuit originally filed on August 16, 2018 with an amended complaint filed on January 25, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. The action is styled VenVer S.A. and Americas Coil Tubing LLP v. GEFCO, Inc., Case No. CIV-18-790-SLP. The complaint alleges breaches of warranty and other similar claims regarding equipment sold by GEFCO in 2013. In addition to seeking a rejection (rescission) of the purchase contract, the plaintiff is seeking special and consequential damages. The purchase contract contains an exclusion of consequential damages. The original purchase price of the equipment was approximately $8.5 million. GEFCO disputes the plaintiff’s allegations and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously. The Company is unable to determine whether or not a future loss will be incurred due to this litigation, or estimate the possible loss ora range of loss, if any, at this time.

The Company is currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss (excluding estimated legal fees) or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point within the range is more probable than another. As management becomes aware of additional information concerning such contingencies, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is either (i) probable but cannot be reasonably estimated or (ii) reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record the amount of the loss, but does make specific disclosure of such matter. Based upon currently available information and with the advice of counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome of its current claims and legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and rulings unfavorable to the Company could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective due to material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
