For further information, refer to the financial statements and related footnotes included in our 20162020 Form 10-K (Commission File No. 001-34728) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2017.February 23, 2021.
The Company currently conducts business in two2 segments: Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions. Financial information regarding theseUnder this reporting structure, the Company’s 2 reportable business segments is reported inare as follows:
Work Truck Attachments. The Work Truck Attachments segment includes commercial snow and ice management attachments sold under the FISHER®, WESTERN® and SNOWEX® brands. This segment consists of our operations that manufacture and sell snow and ice control products.
Work Truck Solutions. The Work Truck Solutions segment includes manufactured municipal snow and ice control products under the HENDERSON® brand and the up-fit of market leading attachments and storage solutions under the HENDERSON® brand, and the DEJANA® brand and its related sub-brands.
See Note 13 15 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. for financial information regarding these segments.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the 2017 presentation. In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, This ASU requires entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17 during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and applied it retrospectively. The adoption resulted in the reclassification of Deferred income taxes as included in Current assets to Deferred income taxes as included in Liabilities and shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet of $5,726 for December 31, 2016.
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheetCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the condensed consolidated statementsCondensed Consolidated Statements of operations and comprehensive incomeShareholders’ Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 20162020, and condensed cash flowsthe Condensed Cash Flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 20162020 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited.
The Company’s Work Truck Attachments segment is seasonal and, consequently its results of operations and financial condition vary from quarter-to-quarter. Because of this seasonality, the results of operations of the Work Truck Attachments segment for any quarter may not be indicative of results of operations that may be achieved for a subsequent quarter or the full year, and may not be similar to results of operations experienced in prior years. The Company attempts to manage the seasonal impact of snowfall on its revenues in part through its pre-season sales program. This pre-season sales program encourages the Company’s distributors to re-stock their inventory of Work Truck Attachments products during the second and third quarters in anticipation of the peak fourth quarter retail sales period by offering favorable pre-season pricing and payment deferral until the fourth quarter. Thus, the Company’s Work Truck Attachments segment tends to generate its greatest volume of sales during the second and third quarters. By contrast, its revenue and operating results tend to be lowest during the first quarter, as management believes the end-users of Work Truck Attachments products prefer to wait until the beginning of a snow season to purchase new equipment and as the Company’s distributors sell off Work Truck Attachments inventory and wait for the pre-season sales incentive period to re-stock inventory. Fourth quarter sales vary from year-to-year as they are primarily driven by the level, timing and location of snowfall during the quarter. This is because most of the Company’s Work Truck Attachments fourth quarter sales and shipments consist of re-orders by distributors seeking to restock inventory to meet immediate customer needs caused by snowfall during the winter months. In addition, due to the factors noted above, Work Truck Attachments working capital needs are highest in the second and third quarters as its accounts receivable rise from pre-season sales. These working capital needs decline in the fourth quarter as the Company receives payments for its pre-season shipments.
The Company relies on a combination of patents, trade secrets and trademarks to protect certain of the proprietary aspects of its business and technology. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company

2.Revenue Recognition
2. Acquisition
Revenue Streams
On May 1, 2017,
The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company purchased substantiallygenerates revenue. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. Additionally, contract amounts represent the assets of Arrowhead Equipment, Inc. (“Arrowhead”). Total consideration was $7,385 including a preliminary estimated working capital adjustment of $100 that increased the purchase price at the closefull amount of the transaction on May 1, 2017 that was subsequently adjusted by $215 paid byprice as agreed upon with the seller tocustomer at the Company,time of order, resulting in a final negativesingle performance obligation in all cases. In the case of a single order containing multiple upfits, the transaction price may represent multiple performance obligations.
Work Truck Attachments
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of equipment to the customer. Within the Work Truck Attachments segment, the Company offers a variety of discounts and sales incentives to its distributors. The estimated liability for sales discounts and allowances is calculated using the expected value method and recorded at the time of sale as a reduction of net working capital adjustmentsales. The liability is estimated based on the costs of $115 paidthe program, the planned duration of the program and historical experience.
The Work Truck Attachments segment has 2 revenue streams, as identified below.
Independent Dealer Sales – Revenues from sales to independent dealers are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment. In these instances, each product is considered a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon shipment of the goods. Any shipping and handling activities performed by the sellerCompany after the transfer of control to the Company.customer (e.g., when control transfers upon shipment) are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized.
Parts & Accessory Sales – The acquisition includesCompany’s equipment is used in harsh conditions and parts frequently wear out. These parts drive recurring revenues through parts and accessory sales. The process for recording parts and accessory sales is consistent with the Arrowhead’s assets acquired at two up-fit locationsindependent dealer sales noted above.
Work Truck Solutions
The Work Truck Solutions segment primarily participates in Albanythe truck and Queensbury, New York thatvehicle upfitting industry in the United States. Customers are both being leasedbilled separately for the truck chassis by the Company.chassis manufacturer. The assets wereCompany only records sales for the amount of the upfit, excluding the truck chassis. Generally, the Company obtains the truck
8
chassis from the truck chassis manufacturer through either its floor plan agreement with a financial institution or bailment pool agreement with the truck chassis manufacturer. Additionally, in some instances the Company upfits chassis which are owned by the end customer. For truck chassis acquired withthrough the floor plan agreement, the Company holds title to the vehicle from the time the chassis is received by the Company until the completion of the up-fit. Under the bailment pool agreement, the Company does not take title to the truck chassis, but rather only holds the truck chassis on hand cash and short term borrowings underconsignment. The Company pays interest on both of these arrangements. The Company records revenue in the same manner net of the value of the truck chassis in both the Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement.floor plan and bailment pool agreements. The acquired assetsCompany does not set the price for the truck chassis, is not responsible for the billing of the chassis and does not have inventory risk in either the bailment pool or floor plan agreements. The Work Truck Solutions segment also has manufacturing operations of municipal snow and ice control equipment, where revenue is recognized upon shipment of equipment to the customer.
Revenues from the sales of the Work Truck Solutions products are included inrecognized net of the truck chassis with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the manufacturing and up-fit cost of the product recorded as Cost of sales. In these cases, the Company acts as an agent as it does not have inventory or pricing control over the truck chassis. Within the Work Truck Solutions segment, the Company also sells certain third-party products for which it acts as an agent. These sales do not meet the criteria for gross sales recognition, and were acquiredthus are recognized on a net basis at the time of sale. Under net sales recognition, the cost paid to expand the geographical footprint of that segment.third-party service provider is recorded as a reduction to sales, resulting in net sales being equal to the gross profit on the transaction.
The Work Truck Solutions segment has 4 revenue streams, as identified below.
State and Local Bids – The Company records revenue of separately sold snow and ice equipment upon shipment and fully upfit vehicles upon delivery. The state and local bid process does not obligate the entity to buy any products from the Company, but merely allows the entity to purchase products in the future typically for a fixed period of time. The entity commits to actually purchasing products from the Company when it issues purchase orders off of a previously awarded bid, which lists out actual quantities of equipment being ordered and the delivery terms. On upfit transactions, the Company is providing a significant service by assembling and integrating the individual products onto the customer’s truck. Each individual product and installation activity is highly interdependent and highly interrelated, and therefore the Company considers the manufacture and upfit of a truck a single performance obligation. Any shipping and handling activities performed by the Company after the transfer of control to the Customer (e.g., when control transfers upon shipment) are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized.
Fleet Upfit Sales – The Company enters into contracts with certain fleet customers. Fleet agreements create enforceable rights without the issuance of a purchase order. Typically, these agreements outline the terms of sale, payment terms, standard pricing, and the rights of the customer and seller. Fleet sales are performed on both customer owned vehicles as well as non-customer owned vehicles. For non-customer owned vehicles, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the truck to the customer. For customer-owned vehicles, per Topic 606, revenue is recognized over time based on a cost input method. The Company accumulates costs incurred $418 of transaction expenseson partially completed customer-owned upfits based on estimated margin and completion. The Company books an adjustment to account for revenue over time related to this acquisition that are included in selling, generalcustomer owned vehicles, which increased revenue by $428 and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which includes $70 accrual reversaldecreased revenue by $106 for estimated transaction-related expenses related to this acquisition that is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Dealer Upfit Sales – The Company upfits work trucks for independent dealer customers. Dealer upfit revenue is recorded upon delivery. The customer does not own the vehicles during the upfit process, and as such revenue is recorded at a point in time upon delivery to the customer.
Over the Counter / Parts & Accessory Sales – Work Truck Solutions part and accessory sales are recorded as revenue upon shipment. Additionally, customers can purchase parts at any of the Company’s showrooms. In these instances, each product is considered a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon shipment of the goods or customer pick up.

The goodwill for the acquisition is a result of acquiring and retaining the existing workforces and expected synergies from integrating the operations into the Company. Due to the limited amount of time since the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Arrowhead, the initial purchase price allocation is preliminary as of September 30, 2017 as the Company has not completed its analysis of working capital, the fair value of inventories, property and equipment, intangible assets and income tax liabilities. The Company expects to be able to deduct amortization of goodwill for income tax purposes over a fifteen-year period. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition. From the date of acquisition through September 30, 2017, the Arrowhead assets contributed $3,379 of revenues and ($100) of pre-tax operating loss to the Company.
On July 15, 2016, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment Company, Inc. and certain entities directly or indirectly owned by Peter Paul Dejana Family Trust Dated 12/31/98 (“Dejana”). Total consideration was $191,544 including a preliminary estimated working capital adjustment of $3,989 that reduced the purchase price at the close of the transaction on July 15, 2016 that was
7
10
subsequently adjusted by $5,417 paid by the Company to the seller. Thus, the net working capital adjustment paid to the former owners of Dejana was $1,428 in addition to contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $10,200. The acquisition was financed through exercising the accordion feature on the Company’s term loan for $130,000 less an original issue discount of $650 and $20,000 of short term revolver borrowings and through the use of $31,994 of on hand cash. The Company incurred $2,096 and $2,841 of transaction expenses related to this acquisition that are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Contract Balances
The Dejana purchase agreement includes contingent consideration in the form of an earnout capped at $26,000. Under the earnout agreement, the former owners of Dejana are entitled to receive payments contingent upon the revenue growth and financial performance of the acquired business for the years 2016, 2017, and 2018. There is no requirement for continued employment related to the contingent consideration, and thus the earnout is recorded as a component of purchase price. The preliminary estimated fair value of the earnout consideration was $10,200, which was further adjusted at December 31, 2016 to $10,373 as a result of the 2016 performance exceeding the 2016 fair value established at the opening balance sheet by $173. As a result of the year ending December 31, 2016 financial results, the new possible range of outcomes was reduced from $26,000 to a maximum earnout of $21,487. The Company made a payment to the former owners of Dejana of $5,487 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The earnout agreement was amended on September 20, 2017 to extend the earnout measurement periods for an additional two years, namely the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, with the potential for the former owners of Dejana to earn up to 50% of the remaining earnout payments unearned based on the original earnout targets and measurement periods. The most recent valuation resulted in a fair value adjustment to the earnout of ($1,186), which is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

3.Credit Losses
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that significantly changed the impairment model for estimating credit losses on financial statementsassets to a current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model that requires entities to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses on such assets, leading to earlier recognition of such losses. Effective January 1, 2020, the adoption of CECL accounting, through a modified-retrospective approach, caused an increase to the allowance for credit losses of approximately $400 and $350 for the Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions segments, respectively.
The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from distributors of truck equipment and dealers of completed upfit trucks. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms. Accounts receivable are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company takes a security interest in the dateinventory as collateral for the receivable but often does not have a priority security interest. The Company has short-term accounts receivable at its Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions segments subject to evaluation for expected credit losses. Expected credit losses are estimated based on the loss-rate and probability of acquisition. default methods. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes the allowance for credit losses based on specific customer circumstances, past events including collections and write-off history, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts about the future. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had an allowance for credit losses on its trade accounts receivable of $1,582 and $1,464 at its Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions segments, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an allowance for credit losses on its trade accounts receivable of $1,480 and $1,449 at its Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions segments, respectively.

4.Fair Value
Fair value is the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

(a) Included in otherNon-qualified benefit plan assets is the cash surrender value of insurance policies on various individuals that are associated with the Company. The carrying amount of these insurance policies approximates their fair value and is considered Level 2 inputs. inputs.
(b) Valuation models are calibrated to initial trade price. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model (e.g. interest rates and credit spreads). Model inputs are changed only when corroborated by market data. A credit risk adjustment is made on each swap using observable market credit spreads. Thus, inputs used to determine fair value of the interest rate swap are Level 2 inputs. Interest rate swaps of $608$4,074 and $2,173$6,797 at September 30, 2017 are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively. Interest rate swaps of $335 and $1,650 at DecemberMarch 31, 20162021 are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively. Interest rate swaps of $4,075 and $8,998 at December 31, 2020 are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively.
(c) The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, which is a Level 2 input for all periods presented. Meanwhile, long-term debt is recorded at carrying amount, net of discount and deferred debt issuance costs, as disclosed on the face of the balance sheet.

(d) Included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long term liabilities in the amounts of $111 and $442, respectively, at September 30, 2017 is the fair value of an obligation for a portion of the potential earnout acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of Henderson Enterprise Group, Inc. (“Henderson”). Included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long term liabilities in the amounts of $235 and $442, respectively, at September 30, 2016 is the fair value of an obligation for a portion of the potential earnout acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of Henderson. Fair value is based upon Level 3 discounted cash flow analysis using key inputs of forecasted future sales as well as a growth rate reduced by the market required rate of return.

The inventories in the table above do not include truck chassis inventory financed through a floor plan financing agreement, as discussed in Note 6.which are recorded separately on the balance sheet. The Company takes title to truck chassis upon receipt of the inventory through its floor plan agreement and performs up-fitting service installations to the truck chassis inventory during the installation period. The floor plan obligation is then assumed by the dealer customer upon delivery. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, the Company had $6,034$12,112 and $3,939$8,146, respectively, of chassis inventory and $12,029 and $7,885 of related floor plan financing obligation, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue associated with up-fitting and service installations net of the truck chassis.
13
Unlike the floor plan agreement, the Company does not record inventory related to the truck chassis acquired through the bailment pool agreement as these truck chassis are held on consignment. Like the revenue recognized on floor plan arrangement, revenue recognized for up-fitting services on chassis acquired through the bailment agreement are also recognized net of the truck chassis.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement also allows the Company to request the establishment of one or more additional term loan commitments in an aggregate amount not in excess of$80,000subject to specified terms and conditions, which amount may be further increased so long as the First Lien Debt Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) is not greater than3.25to 1.00.

13
available for the issuance of short-term swing line loans. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides that the Company has the option to select whether borrowings will bear interest at either (i) a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, depending on the utilization of the facility, plus the LIBOR for the applicable interest period multiplied by the Statutory Reserve Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) or (ii) a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, depending on the utilization of the facility, plus the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) in effect on such day, (b) the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR for a one month interest period multiplied by the Statutory Reserve Rate plus 1%.

The Company’s senior credit facilities include certain negative and operating covenants, including restrictions on its ability to pay dividends, and other customary covenants, representations and warranties and events of default. The senior credit facilities entered into and recorded by the Company’s subsidiaries significantly restrict its subsidiaries from paying dividends and otherwise transferring assets to Douglas Dynamics, Inc. The terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement specifically restrict subsidiaries from paying dividends if a minimum availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is not maintained, and both senior credit facilities restrict subsidiaries from paying dividends above certain levels or at all if an event of default has occurred. These restrictions would affect the Company indirectly since the Company relies principally on distributions from its subsidiaries to have funds available for the payment of dividends. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement includes a requirement that, subject to certain exceptions, capital expenditures may not exceed $12,500 in any calendar year (plus the unused portion of permitted capital expenditures from the preceding year subject to a $12,500 cap and a separate one-time $15,000 capital expenditures to be used for the consolidation of facilities and costs associated with the acquiring and/or development and construction of one new manufacturing facility) and, if certain minimum availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is not maintained, that the Company comply with a monthly minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test of 1.0:1.0. Compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio test is subject to certain cure rights under the Revolving Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the respective covenants. The credit facilities are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company.
In accordance with the senior credit facilities, the Company is required to make additional principal prepayments over the above scheduled payments under certain conditions. This includes, in the case of the term loan facility, 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, certain insurance or condemnation events, certain debt issuances, and, within 150 days of the end of each fiscal year, 50% of consolidated excess cash flow including a deduction for certain distributions (which percentage is reduced to 0% upon the achievement of certain leverage ratio thresholds), for such fiscal year. Consolidated excess cash flow is defined in the senior credit facilities as consolidated adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) plus a consolidated working capital adjustment, less the sum of repayments of debt and capital expenditures (subject to certain adjustments), interest and taxes paid in cash, management fees and certain restricted payments (including certain dividends or distributions). Consolidated working capital adjustment is defined in the senior credit facilities as the change in working capital, defined as current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, less current liabilities, excluding the current portion of long termlong-term debt.

11.Warranty Liability
The Company accrues for estimated warranty costs as sales are recognized and periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amount as necessary. The Company’s warranties generally provide, with respect to its snow and ice control equipment, that all material and workmanship will be free from defect for a period of two years after the date of purchase by the end-user, and with respect to its parts
15
and accessories purchased separately, that such parts and accessories will be free from defect for a period of one year after the date of purchase by the end-user. All of the Company’s warranties are assurance-type warranties. Certain snowplows only provide for a one year warranty. The Company determines the amount of the estimated warranty costs (and its corresponding warranty reserve) based on the Company’s prior five years of warranty history utilizing a formula driven by historical warranty expense and applying management’s judgment. The Company adjusts its historical warranty costs to take into account unique factors such as the introduction of new products into the marketplace that do not provide a historical warranty record to assess. The warranty reserve is $5,817was $4,677 at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021, of which $2,453$1,877 is included in Other long termlong-term liabilities and $3,364$2,800 is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

10.12.Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares, using the two-class method. As the Company has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”)RSUs that both participate in dividend equivalents and do not participate in dividend equivalents, the Company has calculated earnings (loss) per share pursuant to the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings (loss) per share for common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.losses. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Diluted net incomeearnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net incomeearnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive non-participating securities, by the weighted average number of common stock and dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common shares in the diluted net earningsincome (loss) per share computation are excluded to the extent that they would be anti-dilutive. Weighted average of potentially dilutive non-participating RSU’s were 32,732 in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

11.13.Employee Stock Plans
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, and statement of cash flow classification. The amended guidance became effective for the Company commencing in the first quarter of 2017. The Company has implemented ASU 2016-09 as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010 Stock Incentive Plan
In May 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the 2010 Plan on March 5, 2014, contingent on stockholder approvalmaterial terms of the performance goals under the 2010 Plan, as amended and the amendment and restatement became effective upon stockholder approval of the performance goalsrestated, were approved by stockholders at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders held on April 30, 2014. and the plan’s term was extended further by the stockholders at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. The 2010 Plan provides for the issuance of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), any of which may be performance-based, and for incentive bonuses, which may be paid in cash or stock or a combination of both, to eligible employees, officers, non-employee directors and other service providers to the Company and its subsidiaries. A maximum of 2,130,000 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2010 Plan.
Equity awards issued to management include a retirement provision under which members of management who either (1) are age 65 or older or (2) have at least ten years of service and are at least age 55 will continue to vest in unvested equity awards upon retirement. The retirement provision also stipulates that the employee remain employed by the Company for six months after the first day of the fiscal year of the grant. As the retirement provision does not qualify as a substantive service condition, the Company incurred $859 and $303 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in additional expense for employees who meet the thresholds of the retirement provision. In 2013, the Company’s nominating and governance committee approved a retirement provision for the RSUs issued to non-employee directors that accelerates the vesting of such awards upon retirement. Such awards are fully expensed immediately upon grant in accordance with ASC 718, as the retirement provision eliminates substantive service conditions associated with the awards.
Performance Share Unit Awards

Upon meeting the prescribed performance conditions, in the first quarter of the year subsequent to grant, employees will be issued RSUs, a portion ofshares which will be subject to vesting over the two years followingvest immediately at the end of the performancemeasurement period. In accordance with ASC 718, such awards are being expensed over the vesting period from the date of grant through the requisite service period, based upon the most probable outcome. The fair value per share of the awards is the closing stock price on the date of grant, which was $33.60.$49.96. The Company recognized $451$811 and $380$484 of compensation expense related to the awards in the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2016,2020, respectively. The Company recognized $1,121 and $886 of compensation expense related to the awards in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016,

16. | Income Taxes |
The Company’s effective tax rate was (11.6%) and (24.4%) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was lower when compared to the same period in the prior year due to a discrete tax benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock compensation of $274 and $93 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The largest item affecting deferred taxes is the difference between book and tax amortization of goodwill and other intangibles amortization. The Company’s effective tax rate was 38.1% and 38.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 33.9% and 37.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was relatively flat when compared to the same period in 2016. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is lower than the corresponding period in 2016 due to the release of the reserve for uncertain tax positions and for excess stock compensation benefit recognized, slightly offset by changes in state deferred income tax rates.

16. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of the guidance on its inventory of lease contracts and currently intends to adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company expects this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon recognition of the lease liability and right-of-use asset for lease contracts which are currently accounted for as operating leases.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of 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. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant
23
24
judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods, with early application permitted for fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has developed a project plan with respect to its implementation of this standard, including identification of revenue streams and reviews of contracts and procedures currently in place, and is evaluating the impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The adoption of this guidance will result in increased disclosures to help users of financial statements understand the nature, amount, and timing of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts. The Company expects to adopt the ASU using the modified retrospective method, which will be applied to all contracts not completed as of the date of initial application. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of adopting the guidance as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is in the process of identifying and implementing changes to processes and controls to meet the standard’s updated reporting and disclosure requirements and continues to update its assessment of the impact of the standard.
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). This standard simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Under the new guidance, the amount of goodwill impairment will be determined by the amount the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASU 2017-04 is required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, as no triggering events or indicators of potential impairment were identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The standard requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of operating profit. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Prior periods are required to be recast. We will adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018. Net periodic benefit cost for pensions and other postretirement benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $957 and $917 of which $420 and $399, respectively, related to service cost.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). This standard clarifies when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award changes as a result of a change in terms or conditions. No other changes were made to the current guidance on stock compensation. ASU 2017-09 is required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective April 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Results of Operations
The Company operates throughCompany’s two reportable business segments are as described below.follows:
Work Truck Attachments. The Work Truck Attachments segment includes commercial snow and ice management attachments sold under the FISHER®, WESTERN®, HENDERSON® and SNOWEX® brands. This segment consists of our operations that prior to our acquisition of Dejana, were our single operating segment, consisting of the manufacture and sale ofsell snow and ice control products. As described under “Seasonality
25
“Seasonality and Year-To YearYear-To-Year Variability,” the Work Truck Attachments Segment is seasonal and, as a result, its results of operations can vary from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year.

Work Truck Solutions. The Work Truck Solutions segment which was created as a result of includes manufactured municipal snow and ice control products under the Dejana acquisition, includesHENDERSON® brand and the premier truck up-fit of market leading attachments and storage solutions for commercial work vehicles under the HENDERSON® brand, and the DEJANA® brand and its related sub-brands.
Because the Work Truck SolutionsIn addition, segment consists onlyresults include an allocation of the assets of Dejana that were acquired on July 15, 2016, and the assets of Arrowhead that were acquired on May 1, 2017, results from periods priorall corporate costs to the acquisition of Dejana are solely attributable to the Work Truck Attachments segment and we therefore continueWork Truck Solutions.
COVID-19
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the market volatility and other economic implications associated with the pandemic and the economic and regulatory measures enacted to reportcontain its spread, our results of operations from such periodshave been impacted in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and may be significantly impacted in future quarters. See below for further discussion of the impact to our financial statements. We are not able to predict the full impact of the pandemic on our future financial results as the situation remains unpredictable, but the pandemic has had and is likely to continue to have a consolidated basis. As a result, all references tomaterial impact on our results of operations for the thirdyear ended December 31, 2021. In addition, results may be impacted in future quarters due to supply chain constraints stemming from the pandemic, including constraints around chassis and other component parts.
In consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that cash on hand and cash we generate from operations, as well as available credit under our senior credit facilities, will provide adequate funds throughout 2021. We are taking appropriate steps to mitigate the effects of the pandemic where possible. We preventatively and voluntarily closed our facilities on March 18, 2020, suspending production and shipments at all of our locations, which negatively impacted sales volumes and profitability during the shutdown period. Throughout the second quarter of 20162020, we slowly ramped up production at various facilities as appropriate and returned to full production levels by the end of the second quarter of 2020 and have remained fully operational since. We believe that we have taken all of the necessary and appropriate safety steps and precautions for employees who have returned to work. We will continue to monitor the Work Truck Solutions segment refer tosituation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the period from July 16, 2016 to September 30, 2016 following the Dejana acquisition. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning individual segment performance.best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.

While net sales in the three month period ended September 30, 2017 were relatively flatMarch 31, 2021 compared to the same period lastin the prior year theredue to increased volumes due to the timing and location of snowfall during the first quarter of 2021, as well as the effect of reduced shipments in the prior year from our facilities being shut down as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic for several weeks throughout the first quarter of 2020. See below for a discussion of net sales for each of our segments.

Net sales at our Work Truck Attachments segment were offsetting changes across our two reporting segments. Namely, net$42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $19.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $22.9 million primarily due to snowfall levels during the first quarter of 2021, as well as the deferral of sales from 2020 to 2021 due to pandemic-related dealer conservatism in the prior year. Snowfall in this most recent snow season ended March 2021 was approximately 7% below the ten-year average, compared to the prior snow season ended March 2020 which was approximately 25% below the ten-year average.
Net sales at our Work Truck Solutions segment increased $5.1 million, resulting from the segment generating net sales over the entire three month period in 2017, compared to the period following July 15, 2016, when the Work Truck Solutions segment was created following the acquisition of Dejana. Meanwhile, net sales at our Work Truck Attachments segment decreased $2.4 million due primarily to below average levels of snowfall in the snow season ending March 31, 2017. Net sales increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the increase in net sales at our Work Truck Solutions segment of $69.7 million, resulting from the timing of the Dejana acquisition compared to the same period last year. Work Truck Attachments segment net sales decreased $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due primarily to below average levels of snowfall in the snow season ending March 31, 2017.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $89.3were $61.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $86.9$49.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $12.3 million. Sales were higher for the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the same period in the prior year due to improved class 4-6 chassis availability in the current year, and the effect of lower volumes in the prior year from the facilities shutdown associated with the COVID-19 pandemic leading to significantly reduced shipments in the first quarter of 2020.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $77.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2021 compared to $56.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $2.4$20.6 million, or 2.8%36.5%. The increase in Cost of sales was $238.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $193.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $44.9 million, or 23.2%. The increase in cost of sales for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the corresponding periods in 2016 was driven by the addition of cost ofincreased sales attributable to the Work Truck Solutions segment that resulted from the Dejana acquisition as discussed above under “—Net Sales.”Sales”.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of cash have been, and we expect will continue to be, cash from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facilities.
Our primary uses of cash are to provide working capital, meet debt service requirements, finance capital expenditures, pay dividends under our dividend policy and support our growth, including through potential acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. For a description of the seasonality of our working capital rates see “—Seasonality and Year‑To‑YearYear-To-Year Variability.”

Our Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy that reflects an intention to distribute to our stockholders a regular quarterly cash dividend. The declaration and payment of these dividends to holders of our common stock is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon many factors, including our financial condition and earnings, legal requirements, taxes and other factors our Board of Directors may deem to be relevant. The terms of our indebtedness may also restrict us from paying cash dividends on our common stock under certain circumstances. As a result of this dividend policy, we may not have significant cash available to meet any large unanticipated liquidity requirements. As a result, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to fund our operations or to finance unanticipated capital expenditures or growth opportunities, including acquisitions. Our Board of Directors may, however, amend, revoke or suspend our dividend policy at any time and for any reason.

The decrease in our total liquidity from December 31, 20162020 is primarily due to the seasonality of our business. Borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility is governed by a borrowing base, the calculation of which includes cash on hand. Accordingly, use of cash on hand may also result in a reduction in the amount available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. Furthermore, our revolving credit facility requires usWe have taken various steps to maintain at least $10.5 million of borrowing availabilitypreserve liquidity, including reducing discretionary spending and 15%deferring payments where appropriate within existing contractual terms, while remaining committed to long-term growth projects.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, stock-based compensation, litigation proceeds and certain purchase accounting expenses.expenses, and incremental costs incurred related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such COVID-19 related costs include increased expenses directly related to the pandemic, and do not include either production related overhead inefficiencies or lost or deferred sales. We believe these costs are out of the ordinary, unrelated to our business and not representative of our results. We use, and we believe our investors benefit from the presentation
32
of, Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it provides us and our investors with additional tools to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our consolidated financial statements in evaluating our operating performance as compared to that of other companies, because it allows them to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets and liabilities, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Our management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with our senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. As a result, you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness; |
| Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax obligations whether current or deferred. |

Adjusted EBITDA at our Work Truck Attachments segment was $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to ($2.1) million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $10.3 million. The change in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the corresponding period in 2020 is primarily due to higher volumes. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA was lower in the prior year due to additional costs and inefficiencies related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adjusted EBITDA at our Work Truck Solutions segment was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $2.0 million. The change in the three months ended Mach 31, 2021 is primarily due to higher volumes. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA was lower in the prior year due to additional costs and inefficiencies related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock
33
based compensation, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, certain charges related to unrelated legal fees and consulting fees, incremental costs incurred related to the COVID-19 pandemic, adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges, net of their income tax impact. Such COVID-19 related costs include increased expenses directly related to the pandemic, and do not include either production related overhead inefficiencies or lost or deferred sales. We believe these costs are out of the ordinary, unrelated to our business and not representative of our results. Adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges are non-cash and are related to overall financial market conditions; therefore, management believes such costs are unrelated to our business and are not representative of our results. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income (loss) for the periods presented allows investors to make meaningful comparisons of our operating performance between periods and to view our business from the same perspective as our management. Because the excluded items are not predictable or consistent, management does not consider them when evaluating our performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.

Contractual Obligations
We amended our Term Loan Credit Agreement in August 2017 as included in Note 6 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statement. There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations in the three months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Seasonality and Year-to-Year Variability
OurWhile our Work Truck Solutions segment has limited seasonality and variability, our Work Truck Attachments segment is seasonal and also varies from year-to-year. Consequently, our results of operations and financial condition for this segment vary from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year as well. In addition, because of this seasonality and variability, the results of operations for our Work Truck Attachments segment and our consolidated results of operations for any quarter may not be indicative of results of operations that may be achieved for a subsequent quarter or the full year, and may not be similar to results of operations experienced in prior years. That being the case, while snowfall levels vary within a given year and from year-to-year, snowfall, and the corresponding replacement cycle of snow and ice control equipment manufactured and sold by our Work Truck Attachments segment, is relatively consistent over multi-year periods.
Sales of our Work Truck Attachments products are significantly impacted by the level, timing and location of snowfall, with sales in any given year and region most heavily influenced by snowfall levels in the prior snow season (which we consider to begin in October and end in March) in that region. This is due to the fact that end-user demand for our Work Truck Attachments products is driven primarily by the condition of their snow and ice control equipment, and in the case of professional snowplowers, by their financial ability to purchase new or replacement snow and ice control equipment, both of which are significantly affected by snowfall levels. Heavy snowfall during a given winter causes usage of our Work Truck Attachments products to increase, resulting in greater wear and tear to our products and a shortening of their life cycles, thereby creating a need for replacement commercial snow and ice control equipment and related parts and accessories. In addition, when there is a heavy snowfall in a given winter, the increased income our professional snowplowers generate from their professional snowplow activities provides them with increased purchasing power to purchase replacement commercial snow and ice control equipment prior to the following winter. To a lesser extent, sales of our Work Truck Attachments products are influenced by the timing of snowfall in a given winter. Because an early snowfall can be viewed as a sign of a heavy upcoming snow season, our end-users may respond to an early snowfall by purchasing replacement snow and ice control equipment during the current season rather than delaying purchases until after the season is over when most purchases are typically made by end-users.
We attempt to manage the seasonal impact of snowfall on our revenues in part through our pre-season sales program, which involves actively soliciting and encouraging pre-season distributor orders in the second and third quarters by offering our Work Truck Attachments distributors a combination of pricing, payment and freight incentives during this period. These pre-season sales incentives encourage our Work Truck Attachments distributors to re-stock their inventory during the second and third quarters in anticipation of the peak fourth quarter retail sales period by offering pre-season pricing and payment deferral until the fourth quarter. As a result, we tend to generate our greatest volume of sales (an average of over two-thirds over the last ten years) for the Work Truck Attachments segment during the second and third quarters, providing us with manufacturing visibility for the remainder of the year. By contrast, our revenue and operating results for the Work Truck Attachments segment tend to be lowest during the first quarter, as management believes our end-users prefer to wait until the beginning of a snow season to purchase new equipment and as our distributors sell off inventory and wait for our pre-season sales incentive period
35
to re-stock inventory. Fourth quarter sales for the Work Truck Attachments segment vary from year-to-year as they are primarily driven by the level, timing and location of snowfall during the quarter. This is because most of our fourth quarter sales and shipments for the Work Truck Attachments segment consist of re-orders by distributors seeking to restock inventory to meet immediate customer needs caused by snowfall during the winter months.
Because of the seasonality of our sales of Work Truck Attachments products, we experience seasonality in our working capital needs as well. In the first quarter, we typically require capital as we are generally required to build
35
our inventory for the Work Truck Attachments segment in anticipation of our second and third quarter pre-season sales. During the second and third quarters, our working capital requirements rise as our accounts receivable for the Work Truck Attachments segment increase as a result of the sale and shipment of products ordered through our pre-season sales program and we continue to build inventory. Working capital requirements peak towards the end of the third quarter and then begin to decline through the fourth quarter through a reduction in accounts receivable for the Work Truck Attachments segment when we receive the majority of the payments for pre-season shipped products.
We also attempt to manage the impact of seasonality and year-to-year variability on our business costs through the effective management of our assets. Our asset management and profit focus strategies include:
| the employment of a highly variable cost structure facilitated by a core group of workers that we supplement with a temporary workforce as sales volumes dictate, which allows us to adjust costs on an as-needed basis in response to changing demand; |
| our enterprise-wide lean concept, which allows us to adjust production levels up or down to meet demand; |
| the pre-season order program described above, which incentivizes distributors to place orders prior to the retail selling season; and |
| a vertically integrated business model. |
These asset management and profit focus strategies, among other management tools, allow us to adjust fixed overhead and sales, general and administrative expenditures to account for the year-to-year variability of our sales volumes.
Additionally, although modest, our annual capital expenditure requirements can be temporarily reduced by up to approximately 40% in response to actual or anticipated decreases in sales volumes. If we are unsuccessful in our asset management initiatives, the seasonality and year-to-year variability effects on our business may be compounded and in turn our results of operations and financial condition may suffer.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not use financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, and do not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. OurOther than the broad effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative impact on the global economy and major financial markets, our primary market risk exposures are changes in interest rates and steel price fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates. Our borrowings, including our term loan and any revolving borrowings under our senior credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. A portion of our interest rate risk associated with our term loan is mitigated through an interest rate swap as discussed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above.swaps. In addition, the interest rate on any revolving borrowings is subject to an increase in the interest rate based on our average daily availability under our revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings under our term loan of $311.5$219.6 million. A hypothetical interest rate change of 1%, 1.5% and 2% on our term loan would have changed interest incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2017 by $0.7 million, $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. We entered into three interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $45.0 million, $90.0 million and $135.0 million effective for the periods December 31, 2015 through March 29, 2018, March 29, 2018 through March 31, 2020 by $0.0 million, $0.0 million, and March 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021,$0.0 million, respectively. We may have counterparty credit risk resulting from the interest rate swap, which we monitor on
The Company is party to an on-going basis. This risk lies with one global financial institution. Under the interest rate swap agreement effective asto reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility. During the first quarter of December 31, 2015, we2020, the swap was determined to be ineffective. As a result, the swap was dedesignated on March 19, 2020, and the remaining losses currently included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the

See Note 9 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the differential between 6.105% and LIBOR plus 4.25% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%). Under theour interest rate swap agreement, effective as of March 29, 2018, we will either receive or make payments on a monthly basis based on the differential between 6.916% and LIBOR plus 4.25% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%).

As of September 30, 2017, we had $0.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $23.0 million.facility. A hypothetical interest
36
rate change of 1%, 1.5% and 2% on our revolving credit facility would have changed interest incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 by $0.0 million, $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively.
Commodity Price Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk related to our purchase of steel, the primary commodity upon which our manufacturing depends. Our steel purchases as a percentage of revenue were 8.5% and 10.3%12.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2021 compared to 10.4% and 13.1%16.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. March 31, 2020. While steel is typically available from numerous suppliers, the price of steel is a commodity subject to fluctuations that apply across broad spectrums of the steel market. We do not use any derivative or hedging instruments to manage steel price risk. If the price of steel increases, our variable costs could also increase. While historically we have successfully mitigated these increased costs through the implementation of either permanent price increases and/or temporary invoice surcharges, in the future we may not be able to successfully mitigate these costs, which could cause our gross margins to decline. If our costs for steel were to increase by $1.00 in a period where we are not able to pass any of this increase onto our distributors, our gross margins would decline by $1.00 in the period in which such inventory was sold.
Item 4.Controls Andand Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In July 2016, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Dejana and we are in the process of implementing the Dejana internal control structure and may make changes as we integrate our controls and procedures.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
In the ordinary course of business, we are engaged in various litigation matters primarily including product liability and intellectual property disputes. However, management does not believe that any current litigation is material to our operations or financial position. In addition, we are not currently party to any environmental-related claims or legal matters.
37
There have been no significant changes in our risk factors from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020.
