TOOTSIE ROLL INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2015March 31, 2016
(in thousands except per share amounts) (Unaudited)
Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Foregoing data has been prepared from the unaudited financial records of Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. (the Company) and in the opinion of management all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been reflected. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s 20142015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year to end December 31, 20152016 because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s operations. Historically, the third quarter has been the Company’s largest sales quarter due to pre-Halloween sales.
The results of the Company’s two less than wholly owned Spanish companies are consolidated and a noncontrolling interest has been recorded. (See Note 10.)
Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 that introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should 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. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 which provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. We doThe Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our condensedthe consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 which requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in the standard. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied either retrospectively or on a prospective basis to all deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 which modifies certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 which amends existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose
8
additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. This ASU also provides clarifications surrounding the presentation of the effects of leases in the income statement and statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating this new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which contains amendments to the new revenue recognition standard on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The amendments related to identifying performance obligations clarify when a promised good or service is separately identifiable and allows entities to disregard items that are immaterial in the context of a contract. The licensing implementation amendments clarify how an entity should evaluate the nature of its promise in granting a license of intellectual property, which will determine whether revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time. This new standard has the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating this new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Income Taxes
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and state and foreign tax authorities for the years 20122013 through 2014. With few exceptions, including audit examinations of the Company’s amended U.S. income tax returns for 2009 and 2010, and its 2011 and 2012 U.S. income tax returns, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for the year 20112012 and prior. The consolidated effective tax rates were 31.5%30.5% and 27.9%32.3% in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 2014, respectively, and 30.2% and 32.8% in nine months 2015, and 2014, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in thirdfirst quarter 2014 benefited from a release2016 compared to first quarter 2015 reflects the effective settlement of a valuation allowance relating to capital loss carry-forwards and the filing of federal amendedcertain income tax returns. The lower effective tax rates in nine months 2015 principally reflect a $1,066 release of an uncertain income tax liability and resulting income tax benefit due to a decision by a foreign court issued in second quarter 2015, and the reversal of deferred tax assets of $2,350 inaudits during first quarter 2014 relating to the step acquisition of the Spanish companies as discussed in Note 10.2016.
Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements
Current accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Guidance requires disclosure of the extent to which fair value is used to measure financial assets and liabilities, the inputs utilized in calculating valuation measurements, and the effect of the measurement of significant unobservable inputs on earnings, or changes in net assets, as of the measurement date. Guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs utilized in the measurement and valuation of financial assets or liabilities as of the measurement date. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The use of observable and unobservable inputs is reflected in the hierarchy assessment disclosed in the table below.
As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, December 31, 20142015 and September 27, 2014,March 31, 2015, the Company held certain financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included derivative hedging instruments related to the purchase of certain raw materials and foreign currencies, investments in trading securities and available for sale securities. The Company’s available for sale and trading securities principally consist of corporate and municipal bonds that are publicly traded.

Note 5 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity futures contracts and commodity option contracts, to manage its exposures to foreign exchange and commodity prices. Commodity futures contracts and most commodity option contracts are intended and effective as hedges of market price risks associated with the anticipated purchase of certain raw materials (primarily sugar). Foreign currency forward contracts are intended and effective as hedges of the Company’s exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate changes of products manufactured in Canada and sold in the United States. The Company does not engage in trading or other speculative use of derivative instruments.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Derivative assets are recorded in other receivables and derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities. The Company uses either hedge accounting or mark-to-market accounting for its derivative instruments. Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges by formally documenting the hedge relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments, the hedged items
10
hedges by formally documenting the hedge relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments, the hedged items and other critical terms, as well as the Company’s risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction.
Changes in the fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. Substantially all amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss for commodity derivatives are expected to be reclassified to cost of goods sold. Substantially all amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss for foreign currency derivatives are expected to be reclassified to other income, net.
The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts and their effects on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, December 31, 20142015 and September 27, 2014:March 31, 2015:

During the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2015 and September 27, 2014, the Company recognized losses of $0 and $0, and $0 and $20 respectively, related to mark-to-market accounting for certain commodity option and future contracts.
Note 6 — Pension Plans
Beginning in 2012,During 2015 and 2016, the Company received updated notices fromthat the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BC&T) Pension Plan (Plan), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for certain Company union employees. The notices indicated that the Plan’s actuary certified the Plan to beemployees, is in “critical and declining status”, the “Red Zone”, as defined by the Pension Protection Act (PPA) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
12
(PBGC), and that a plan of rehabilitation was adopted by the trustees of the Plan in fourth quarter 2012. The rehabilitation plan, which continues, requires that employer contributions include 5% compounded annual surcharge increases each year for an unspecified period of time beginning January 2013 (in addition to the 5% interim surcharge initiated in June 2012) as well as certain plan benefit reductions. Under the plan of rehabilitation, the Plan is projected to emerge from critical status sometime beyond a 30 year projection period. In the event that a plan does not have the financial resources to ultimately pay benefits at a level specified by law, then it must apply to the PBGC for government financial assistance. The Trustees have advised that neither the PPA nor regulatory guidance currently defines the rehabilitation standards for a plan that is not designed to emerge from critical status within the prescribed 10-year rehabilitation period. Recently enacted legislation (Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014) may also affect the future of this Plan.
become insolvent in 14 years. The Company was previouslyhas been advised by the Plan that if the Company had withdrawn from the Plan during 2012 its estimated withdrawal liability would have been $37,200. The Company was recently advised by the Plan that its withdrawal liability would have been $56,400$61,000 if it had withdrawn from the Plan during 2014. The increase from 2012 to 2014 principally reflects changes in key actuarial assumptions, principally the effects of a lower interest rates proscribed by PBGC which were partially used to determine the present value of vested benefits, and a change to a more conservative mortality table.2015. Should the Company actually withdraw from the Plan at a future date, a withdrawal liability, which could be higher than the above discussed amounts, could be payable to the Plan. Pension expense, including surcharges as discussed above, for the BC&T Plan for nine months 2015 and 2014 was $2,013 and $2,028, respectively. The aforementioned includes surcharge of $349 and $268 in nine months 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to contribution increases under the plan of rehabilitation.
During second quarter 2015, the Company received new notices that the Plan is in “critical and declining status”, as defined by the PPA and PBGC, for the plan year beginning January 1, 2015, and that the Plan is projected to have an accumulated funding deficiency for the 2017 through 2024 plan years. The recent notices advised that the Plan’s actuarially determined asset values would fund 65.11%, 66.41% and 66.86% of its liabilities as of its January 1, 2014, 2013, and 2012 plan valuation dates, respectively. The aforementioned funding percentages are based on actuarially determined asset valuations which differ from the market values of the Plan’s assets on these dates. Based on the market values of the Plan’s investments, its funded percentages were 60.2% and 55.3% as of January 1, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The notice also indicates that as of the January 1, 2014 valuation date, 20.8% of plan participants were active participants working for a participating employer, 51.4% were retired and receiving benefits, and 27.8% were retired or separated from service and entitled to future benefits.
The Company’s existing labor contract with the local BC&T commits the Company’s participation in this Plan through third quarter 2017. The Company is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the above discussed matter and therefore is unable to determine the effects on its consolidated financial statements, but the ultimate outcome or the effects of any modifications to the current rehabilitation plan could be material to its consolidated results of operations or cash flows in one or more future periods.

Note 8 — Restricted Cash
Restricted cash comprises certain cash deposits of the Company’s less than wholly ownedmajority-owned Spanish companies (see Note 10) with international banks that are pledged as collateral for letters of credit and bank borrowings.
13
Note 9 — Bank Loans
Long term bank loans comprise borrowings by the Company’s less than wholly ownedmajority-owned Spanish companies (see Note 10) which are held by international banks. The average weighted interest rate at September 30,March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 and September 27, 2014 was 2.52.2 % and 2.7%2.5%, respectively, and maturity dates range from 12 to 43 years for both periods. Short term bank loans also relate to the Company’s less than wholly ownedmajority-owned Spanish companies.
Note 10 — Step Acquisition
During first quarter 2014, the Company gained operating control of its two 50% owned Spanish companies when Company employee representatives assumed all positions on their boards of directors. This was considered a step acquisition, whereby the Company remeasured the previously held investment to fair value in first quarter 2014. As a result, the Company’s first quarter 2014 net earnings include a net loss of $529, including an additional income tax provision of $2,350 relating to deferred income taxes. During 2014, the Company further increased its control and ownership to 83% by subscribing to additional common shares of these Spanish subsidiaries for approximately $1,400 ($1,200 was paid in 2014, and the balance was paid in 2015). The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 include these Spanish companies and related minority interests. These Spanish subsidiaries are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This financial review discusses the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, new accounting pronouncements and other matters. Dollars are presented in thousands, except per share amounts. This review should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q and with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”).
Net product sales were $183,806$103,362 in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 compared to $191,093$105,477 in thirdfirst quarter 2014,2015, a decrease of $7,287$2,115 or 3.8%2.0%. Nine months 2015 net product sales were $396,811 compared to $401,966 in nine months 2014, a decrease of $5,155 or 1.3%. ThirdFirst quarter and nine months 2015 net2016 sales were adversely affected by currency translation$1,202 of $2,900lower export sales from the U.S. to foreign markets, and $5,800 respectively, due to$630 of lower sales by foreign subsidiaries. Because much of these sales were made in foreign currencies, a stronger U.S. dollar and currency translation contributed $829 to these lower foreign sales in 2015 compared to 2014. The timing of certain sales between third and fourth quarters in the comparative 2015 and 2014 periods also contributed to lower reported sales for thirdfirst quarter and nine months 2015.2016.
Product cost of goods sold were $117,046$65,824 in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 compared to $123,164$67,145 in thirdfirst quarter 2014, and nine months 2015 product cost of goods sold were $252,924 compared to $256,211 in nine months 2014.2015. Product cost of goods sold includes $(671)$13 and $84$332 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 2014, respectively, and $(253) and $716 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in nine months 2015, and 2014, respectively. These deferred compensation expenses (credits) principally result from the changes in the market value of investments and investment income from trading securities relating to compensation deferred in previous years and are not reflective of current operating results. Adjusting for the aforementioned, product cost of goods sold decreased from $123,080$66,813 in thirdfirst quarter 20142015 to $117,717$65,811 in thirdfirst quarter 2015,2016, a decrease of $5,363$1,002 or 4.4%; and decreased from $255,495 in nine months 2014 to $253,177 in nine months 2015, a decrease of $2,318 or 0.9%1.5%. As a percentage of net product sales, adjusted product cost of goods sold was 64.0%63.7% and 64.4%63.3% in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 2014, respectively, a favorable decrease of 0.4%; and adjusted product cost of goods sold was 63.8% and 63.6% in nine months 2015, and 2014, respectively, an unfavorable increase of 0.2%0.4%. Third quarter and nine months net earnings benefited from more favorable ingredient costs, however, higher plant manufacturing overhead costs adversely affected productAdjusted cost of goods sold because theseas a percent of sales benefited from higher price realization in first quarter 2016 compared to first quarter 2015, however, increased manufacturing costs had an adverse impact in first quarter 2016. These higher manufacturing costs reflect the effects of lower production volumes in first quarter 2016 in order to reduce finished goods inventory levels to meet nearer term sales demands. This inventory reduction was in response to uncertainties surrounding changes in state and national labeling regulations and requirements, and facilitates the Company’s compliance and readiness to respond to possible changes under consideration. These higher plant manufacturing costs in first quarter 2016 result from reduced efficiencies relating to decreased production volumes and reflect the adverse effects of plant overhead costs which are generally fixed and do not change in proportion to changes in sales and production volumes. Although our overall comparative ingredientIncreases in certain ingredients costs, in both third quarterwages and nine months 2015 were more favorable compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, certain key ingredient costs are higher this year, and we expect higher overall ingredient costs in 2016. Although higher plant manufacturing overhead contributed to higher productbenefits also adversely affected adjusted cost of goods sold as a percent of sales in 2015, efficiencies driven by capital investments and ongoingfirst quarter 2016 compared to first quarter 2015. Ongoing cost containment programs mitigatedand the benefits of certain capital investments did mitigate some of these increased costs.
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses were $26,338$24,053 in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 compared to $31,840$25,984 in thirdfirst quarter 2014, and nine months 2015 selling, marketing and administrative expenses were $78,161 compared to $85,767 in nine months 2014.2015. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses includes $(2,485)$40 and $265$1,086 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 2014, respectively, and $(1,117) and $2,374 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in nine months 2015, and 2014, respectively. As discussed above, these expenses (credits) principally result from changes in the market value of investments and investment income from trading securities relating to compensation deferred in previous years, and are not reflective of current operating results. Adjusting for the aforementioned, selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased from $31,575$24,898 in thirdfirst quarter 20142015 to $28,823$24,013 in thirdfirst quarter 2015,2016, a decrease of $2,752$885 or 8.7%; and selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased from $83,393 in nine months 2014 to $79,278 in nine months 2015, a decrease of $4,115 or 4.9%3.6%. As a percentage of net product sales, adjusted selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased from 16.5%23.6% in thirdfirst quarter 20142015 to 15.7%23.2% in thirdfirst quarter 2015,2016, a favorable decrease of 0.8%0.4% as a percent of net sales; and selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased from 20.7% in nine months 2014 to 20.0% in nine months 2015, a decrease of 0.7% as a percent of netproduct sales. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses include $11,624$9,186 and $12,930$9,924 for freight, delivery and warehousing expenses in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 2014, respectively, and $30,706 and $33,819 for freight, delivery and warehousing expenses in nine months 2015, and 2014, respectively. These expenses were 6.3%8.9% and 6.8%9.4% of net product sales in thirdfirst quarter 2015
16
2016 and 2014, respectively, and 7.7% and 8.4% of net product sales in nine months 2015, and 2014, respectively. Lower freight and delivery expenses reflect the effects of internal cost savings programs and initiatives as well as more favorable energy and diesel fuel costs, and internal cost savings programs and initiatives, and principally contributed to the above discussed decrease in selling, marketing and administrative expenses in both thirdfirst quarter and nine months 2015.2016.
Earnings from operations were $41,028$14,216 in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 compared to $36,759$12,964 in thirdfirst quarter 2014, and were $67,626 in nine months 2015 compared to $62,016 in nine months 2014.2015. Earnings from operations include $(3,156)$53 and $349$1,418 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 2014, respectively, and include $(1,370) and $3,090 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in nine months 2015, and 2014, respectively which are discussed above. Adjusting for these deferred compensation costs and expenses, (credits), operating earnings were $37,872$14,269 and $37,108$14,382 in thirdfirst quarter 2016 and 2015, and 2014, respectively, an increasea decrease of $764$113 or 2.1%; and adjusted operating earnings were $66,256 and $65,106 in nine months 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $1,150 or 1.8%0.8%. As a percentage of net product sales, these adjusted operating earnings were 20.6%13.8% and 19.4%13.6% in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 2014,2015, respectively, a favorable increase of 1.2%0.2% as a percentage of net product sales; and were 16.7% and 16.2% in nine months 2015 and 2014, respectively, a favorable increasesales.

Management believes the presentation in this and the preceding paragraphs relating to amounts adjusted for deferred compensation expense are more reflective of the underlying operations of the Company.
Other income (expense), net was $(2,879)$(35) in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 compared to $166$473 in thirdfirst quarter 2014, and other income (expense) net, was $(1,085) in nine months 2015 compared to $4,865 in nine months 2014.2015. Other income (expense), net for thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 20142015 includes net gains (losses) and investment income of $(3,156)$53 and $349,$1,418, respectively, on trading securities which provide an economic hedge of the Company’s deferred compensation liabilities; and other income (expense), net for nine months 2015 and 2014 includes net gains (losses) and investment income of $(1,370) and $3,090, respectively, on trading securities relating to these programs.liabilities. These changes in trading securities were substantially offset by a like amount of deferred compensation expense or credits included in product cost of goods sold and selling, marketing, and administrative expenses in the respective periods as discussed above. Other income (expense), net includes gains (losses)losses on foreign exchange of $(51)$634 and $(380)$1,354 in third quarter 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $(818) and $(1,169) in nine months 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, prior year first quarter 2016 and nine months 2014 other income, net includes a pre-tax gain of approximately $1,800 ($529 after-tax loss) resulting from the step acquisition of the two Spanish companies discussed below and in Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.2015, respectively.
The consolidated effective tax rates were 31.5%30.5% and 27.9%32.3% in thirdfirst quarter 2016 and 2015, and 2014, respectively, and 30.2% and 32.8% in nine months 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate in third quarter 2014 benefited from a release of a valuation allowance relating to capital loss carry-forwards and the filing of federal amended income tax returns. The lower effective tax rate for nine months 2015 principally reflects a $1,066 release of an uncertain income tax liability, and resulting income tax benefit, due to a decision by a foreign court issued in second quarter 2015, and the reversal of deferred tax assets of $2,350 in first quarter 2014 relating2016 compared to first quarter 2015 reflects the step acquisitioneffective settlement of the Spanish companies as discussed in Note 10.certain income tax audits during first quarter 2016.
Net earnings attributable to Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. were $26,171$9,896 (after $30$40 net loss attributed to non-controlling interests) in thirdfirst quarter 20152016 compared to $26,668$9,154 (after $59$51 net loss attributed to non-controlling interests) in thirdfirst quarter 2014,2015, and earnings per share were $0.43$0.16 and $0.14 in both thirdfirst quarter 20152016 and 2014. Nine months 2015, net earnings attributable to Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. were $46,384 (after $80 net earnings attributed to non-controlling interests) compared to nine months 2014 net earnings of $45,275 (after $352 net loss attributed to non-controlling interests), and net earnings per share were $0.75 and $0.72 in nine months 2015 and nine months 2014, respectively, an increase of $0.03$0.02 per share, or 4%14%. As discussed above, net earnings were favorably impacted by the release of an uncertain income tax liability which added $1,066 or approximately $0.02 per share to nine months 2015 net earnings attributable to Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. Earnings per share attributable to Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. for thirdfirst quarter and nine months 20152016 did benefit from the reduction in average shares outstanding resulting from purchases in the open market by the Company of its common stock. Average shares outstanding decreased from 62,32163,645 in third quarter 2014 to 61,357 in thirdfirst quarter 2015 and from 62,465to 62,499 in nine months 2014 to 61,593 in nine months 2015.first quarter 2016.

Goodwill and intangibles are assessed annually as of December 31 or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable from future cash flows. The Company has not identified any triggering events, as defined, or other adverse information that would indicate a material impairment of its goodwill or intangibles in nine months 2015.first quarter 2016. There were also no impairments in the comparative nine months 2014first quarter 2015 period.
During first quarter 2014, the Company gained operating control of its two 50% owned Spanish companies when Company employee representatives assumed all positions on their boards of directors. This was considered a step acquisition, whereby the Company remeasured the previously held investment to fair valueBeginning in first quarter 2014. As a result, the Company’s first quarter 2014 net earnings include a net after-tax loss of $529, including an additional income tax provision of $2,350 relating to deferred income taxes. The Company further increased its ownership and control to 83% in fourth quarter 2014 by subscribing to additional common shares for approximately $1,400. These Spanish companies had operating losses for each of the years 2008 through 2014 and for nine months 2015. The Spanish companies were restructured during 2014 to reduce costs and expenses, but they have not achieved their business plan and financial objectives in third quarter and nine months 2015. Company management believes that it is likely that additional financing and investment will be required in 2015 and 2016 in light of the competitive challenges and economic conditions in Spain.
As discussed in Note 6 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,2012, the Company received periodic notices beginning in 2012 from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BC&T) Pension Plan (Plan), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for certain Company union employees. The notices indicatedemployees, that the Plan’s actuary certified the Plan to be in “critical status”, the “Red Zone”, as defined by the Pension Protection Act (PPA) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC),; and that a plan of rehabilitation was adopted by the trustees of the Plan in fourth quarter 2012. In fourth quarter 2014,During 2015, the Company received notices that the Plan’s status was advisedchanged to “critical and declining status”, as defined by the PPA and PBGC, for the plan year beginning January 1, 2015, and that the Plan was projected to have an accumulated funding deficiency for the 2017 through 2024 plan years. A designation of “critical and declining status” implies that the Plan is expected to become insolvent in the next 20 years. In April 2016, the Company received new notices that the Plan’s trustees adopted an updated Rehabilitation Plan effective January 1, 2016, and that the Plan remains in “critical and declining status” and is projected to become insolvent in 14 years. These new notices also advise that the Plan trustees are considering the reduction or elimination of certain retirement benefits and may seek assistance from the PBGC.
Based on these updated notices, the Plan’s funded percentage (plan investment assets as a percentage of plan liabilities), as defined, were 62.8%, 65.1% and 66.4% as of the most recent valuation dates available, January 1, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively (these valuation dates are as of the beginning of each Plan year). These funded percentages are based on actuarial values, as defined, and do not reflect the actual market value of Plan investments as of these dates. If the market value of investments had been used as of January 1, 2015 the funded percentage would be 59.8% (not 62.8%). As of the January 1, 2015 valuation date, 20% of Plan participants were current active employees, 51% were retired or separated from service and receiving benefits, and 29% were retired or separated from service and entitled to future benefits. The number of current active employee Plan participants as of January 1, 2015 fell 3% from the previous year and 6% over the past two years. When compared to the Plan valuation date of January 1, 2011 (four years earlier), current active employees participants have declined 30%, whereas participants who were retired or separated from service and receiving benefits increased 6% and participants who were retired or separated from service and entitled to future benefits increased 9%. The bankruptcy of a major participating employer in the Plan contributed to the above discussed Plan results.
16
The Company has been advised that its withdrawal liability would have been $61,000 and $56,400 if it had withdrawn from the Plan during 2014. The Company was previously advised by the Plan that if the Company had withdrawn from the Plan during 2012, its estimated withdrawal liability would have been $37,200.2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase from 20122014 to 20142015 principally reflects changes in key actuarial assumptions,a higher share of the Plan’s unfunded vested benefits allocated to the Company. Based on the above, including the effects of a lower interest rates proscribed by PBGC which were partially used to determinePlan’s projected insolvency in 14 years, management believes that the present value of vested benefits, and a change to a more conservative mortality table.Company’s withdrawal liability will likely increase further in 2016. Based on the Company’s actuarial study and certain provisions in ERISA and the law relating to withdrawal liability payments, management believes that the Company’s liability would be limited to twenty annual payments of $2,999$2,966 which have a present value in the range of $35,193$34,800 to $45,400 based on a range of valuation interest rates which management understands is provided under the minimum funding interest rate of 6.5%.statute. Should the Company actually withdraw from the Plan at a future date, a withdrawal liability, which could be higher than the above discussed amounts, could be payable to the Plan. During second quarter 2015, the Company received new notices that the Plan is in “critical and declining status”, as defined by the PPA and PBGC, for the plan year beginning January 1, 2015, and that the Plan is projected to have an accumulated funding deficiency for the 2017 through 2024 plan years.
The Company’s existing labor contract with the local BC&Tunion commits the Company’s participation in this Plan through third quarter 2017. The amended rehabilitation plan, which continues, requires that employer contributions include 5% compounded annual surcharge increases each year for an unspecified period of time beginning January 2013 (in addition to the 5% interim surcharge initiated in June 2012) as well as certain plan benefit reductions. The Company’s pension expense for this Plan for first quarter 2016 and 2015 was $499 and $552, respectively. The aforementioned expense includes surcharges of $106 and $96 in first quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively, as required under the plan of rehabilitation as amended.
The Company is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the above discussed matter and therefore is unable to determine the effects on its consolidated financial statements, but the ultimate outcome or the effects of any modifications to the current rehabilitation plan could be material to its consolidated results of operations or cash flows in one or more future periods. See also the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations incorporated into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”).2015.
