2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The financial statements are prepared on a consistent basis (including normal recurring adjustments) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018,28, 2019, (“Form 10-K”), filed by Helios Technologies, Inc. (at that time known as Sun Hydraulics Corporation) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2019.25, 2020. In Management’smanagement’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements are reflected in the interim periods presented.

The Company faces various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, including the global outbreak of COVID-19. The Company cannot at this time predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. Operating results for the six month periodthree months ended June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 28, 2019.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning December 30, 2018, usingending January 2, 2021.

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the effective date method which requiredexcess of the purchase price of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired, is carried at cost.  Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, in the third and fourth quarters, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a cumulative-effect adjustmentreduction in the fair value below the carrying value.  As part of the impairment test, the Company has the option to befirst assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after this optional qualitative assessment, the Company determines that impairment is more likely than not, then the Company performs the quantitative impairment test. The carrying value of assets is calculated at the reporting unit level. An impairment loss is recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Underextent that the effective date method, financial results reported in periods prior to fiscal year 2019 are unchanged. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of lease classification. Ascarrying value of the adoption date,reporting unit exceeds its fair value, with the impairment loss limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

8


During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded right-of-use (“ROU”) assetsdetermined that, based on current economic conditions and liabilities of approximately $13,918 to the balance sheet and a cumulative-effect adjustment of $134 was recognized in retained earnings.

9


The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and are presented in Property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arisingpotential future impacts from the leases and are presented in Other accrued expenses and current liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities inCOVID-19 pandemic, it was more likely than not that the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated presentfair value of lease payments over the lease term.

TheFaster reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Upon completion of the interim impairment testing, the Company utilizes an estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available atdetermined that the lease commencement date, in determining the presentcarrying value of lease payments. The Company considers its existing credit facilities when calculating the incremental borrowing rate.

Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Leases with a termgoodwill was impaired. See Note 6 for discussion of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. There are no residual value guarantees included in the Company’s leases.interim impairment testing.

Contract Assets & Liabilities

Contract assets are recognized when the Company has a conditional right to consideration for performance completed on contracts. Contract asset balances totaled $1,956$2,741 and $2,851$2,796 at June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 and December 29, 2018,28, 2019, respectively, and are presented in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts receivable balances represent unconditional rights to consideration from customers and are presented separate from contract assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities are recognized when payment is received from customers prior to revenue being recognized. Contract liabilities totaled $451$253 and $138$353 at June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 and December 29, 2018,28, 2019, respectively, and are presented in Other accrued expenses and current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

All derivative instruments are recorded gross in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.  Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.  For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into the line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings.

The Company enters into foreign exchange currency contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings. Derivative financial instruments are utilized as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company utilizes foreign currency denominated debt to hedge currency exposure in foreign operations. The Company designates certain foreign currency denominated debt as hedges of net investments in foreign operations which reduces the Company’s exposure to changes in currency exchange rates on investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Gains and losses on net investments in non-U.S. operations are economically offset by losses and gains on foreign currency borrowings. The change in the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency denominated debt is recorded in Foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of AOCI.

10


Research and Development

The Company conducts research and development (“R&D”) to create new products and to make improvements to products currently in use. R&D costs are charged to expense as incurred and totaled $7,778,$4,107, and $6,301$3,900 for the sixthree months ended June 29,March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively.

Recently IssuedAdopted Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test, which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning December 29, 2019, and conducted its interim impairment testing accordingly.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The standard replaces the incurred loss model with the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The CECL model requires a Company to estimate credit losses expected over the life of the financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning December 29, 2019. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740):  Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating some exceptions to the general approach in ASC 740, Income Taxes, related to intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income tax in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This update is effective for annualfiscal years, and interim goodwill impairment tests conducted inperiods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019,2020, with early adoption permitted.  The amendments in this update should be applied on either a retrospective basis, a modified retrospective basis or prospectively, depending on the provision within the amendment. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3.  BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Faster

On April 5, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Faster S.p.A, a worldwide leader in engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of quick release hydraulic coupling solutions headquartered near Milan, Italy.  Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Polyusus Lux IV S.a.r.l., a Luxembourg limited liability company and the owner of 100% of the share capital of Faster S.p.A. The acquisition was completed for cash consideration totaling $532,408 and was financed with cash on hand from the Company’s registered public stock offering and borrowings of $358,000 on its credit facility. Subsequent to the acquisition, the legal structure of Faster was changed to Faster S.r.l.

Faster adds adjacent hydraulics products to the Company’s portfolio of products and broadens end market reach, increasing the Company’s presence in the agriculture market. The results of Faster’s operations are reported in the Company’s Hydraulics segment and have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

The Share Purchase Agreement allows for future payments to the sellers for certain tax benefits realized within two years of the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the contingent liability was determined to be $938 as of the acquisition date. See Note 4 for a summary of the change in estimated fair value of the contingent liability.

The fair value of total purchase consideration consisted of the following:

Goodwill is primarily attributable to Faster’s assembled workforce and anticipated synergies and economies of scale expected from the operations of the combined company. The synergies include certain cost savings, operating efficiencies, and other strategic benefits projected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition. Of the total goodwill acquired, approximately $4,337 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Transaction costs of $4,271 incurred in connection with the acquisition are included in Selling, engineering and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Acquisition of Custom Fluidpower

On August 1, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Custom Fluidpower Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary limited liability company. The acquisition was completed pursuant to a Share Sale Agreement among the Company and the shareholders of Custom Fluidpower. The fair value of consideration paid at closing totaled $26,655, including 333,065 shares of the Company’s common stock and cash of $9,315; cash paid net of cash acquired totaled $7,518. The cash consideration was funded with borrowings on the Company’s credit facility.

Custom Fluidpower was acquired to further diversify the Company’s hydraulics product and service portfolio and broaden the Company’s global footprint. The results of Custom Fluidpower’s operations are reported in the Company’s Hydraulics segment and have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

The Company recorded $6,316 in goodwill and $7,556 in other identifiable intangible assets in connection with the acquisition; however, the purchase price allocation is preliminary, pending final tax related adjustments, and may be revised during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). Any such revisions or changes to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be material.

During the first quarter of 2020, the global economy was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the economic impact, primarily in Europe, government mandated facility closures and an unfavorable outlook for certain end markets, the Company concluded that this change in circumstances triggered the need for an interim impairment review of its Faster reporting unit. The interim review was performed as of March 28, 2020. A recoverability test for the long-lived assets within the Faster reporting unit was performed first and resulted in the conclusion that the carrying value of the long-lived assets was fully recoverable. An interim quantitative impairment test for goodwill was then performed.

The fair value of the Faster reporting unit was determined based on a combination of income and market approach methodologies. The income approach utilized a discounted cash flow analysis, which estimates the present value of the projected free cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit. Principal assumptions used in the analysis include the Company's estimates of future revenue and terminal growth rates, margin assumptions and discount rates. While assumptions utilized are subject to a high degree of judgment and complexity, the Company has made every effort to estimate future cash flows as accurately as possible, given the high degree of economic uncertainty that currently exists. The market approaches estimate fair value by comparing to guideline public companies and guideline transactions. Various valuation multiples of companies that are economically and operationally similar were used as data points for selecting multiples. The Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the Faster reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and as a result, recorded a non-cash, non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge of $31,871. If the economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic is more severe than anticipated, or if the economic recovery takes longer to materialize or does not materialize as strongly as anticipated, it could result in further goodwill impairment charges.  

The Company considered the known and anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its other reporting units and concluded that it was more likely than not that their fair value exceeded their carrying value.

Interest Rate Swap Contract

Helios primarily utilizes variable-rate debt to finance its operations. The debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments. The Company enters into various types of derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rates.

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge the variable interest rate payments on the credit facilities. In connection with this transaction, the Company pays interest based upon a fixed rate as agreed upon with the respective counterparties and receives variable rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap has an aggregate notional amount of $200,000,$175,000, which decreases by $25,000 annually, starting in July 2019, and has been designated as a hedging instrument and is accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap was effective on August 2, 2018 and is scheduled to expire on April 3, 2023. The contract iswill be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at each settlement date.

OVERVIEW

We are an industrial technology leader that develops and manufactures solutions for both the hydraulics and electronics markets, each of which serves as a reportable segment. There are three key technologies within our Hydraulics segment:  cartridge valve technology (“CVT”), quick-release hydraulic couplings solutions (“QRC”) and hydraulic system design (“Systems”). Within CVT, our products provide functions important to a hydraulic system: to control rates and direction of fluid flow and to regulate and control pressures.  QRC products allow users to connect and disconnect quickly from any hydraulic circuit without leakage and ensure high-performance under high temperature and pressure using one or multiple couplers.  Systems provide engineered solutions for machine users, manufacturers or designers to fulfill complete system design requirements including electro-hydraulic, remote control, electronic control and programmable logic controller systems, as well as automation of existing equipment. In our Electronics segment, we are a leader in display and control integration solutions offering rugged and reliable instruments, coupled with expertise in J1939 engine protocol, to produce an industry-leading array of easy-to-read displays and gauges for controller area network (“CAN”) transmitted engine data and faults. We refer to this technology as Electronic Controls (“EC”).    

On June 13, 2019, we changed our legal name from Sun Hydraulics Corporation to Helios Technologies, Inc.  Sun Hydraulics, LLC (a Florida limited liability company that holds the historical net operating assets of the Sun Hydraulics brand entities and Custom Fluidpower), along with Enovation Controls and Faster are the three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries of Helios.  Our corporate name change is a reflection of the tremendous growth the Company has accomplished over the last two years, including the addition of various operating companies under our umbrella. On June 17, 2019, shares of Helios began trading on the Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol of “HLIO”.

The operating results of the Hydraulics and Electronics segments included in this MD&A are presented on a basis consistent with our internal management reporting. Segment information included in Note 1412 to the Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements is also presented on this basis. All differences between our internal management reporting basis and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”),GAAP, specifically the allocation of certain corporate and acquisition-related costs, are included in Corporate and Other.

Vision 2025

In 2016, we introduced our vision for the Company for the next decade.  We believe it is important to reach a critical mass of $1 billion in sales by 2025 while remaining a technology leader in the industrial goods sector.  To achieve our goal, we are targeting organic sales of our Hydraulics segment including Faster and Custom Fluidpower, of $730$700 million, sales of our Electronics segment of $200$220 million and acquisitions of $70at or exceeding $80 million of revenue.  Through this growth, our decision-making process will consider our desire to maintain superior profitability and financial strength. While acquisitions remain an important component of our long-term strategy, our near-term focus is on integrating our recently acquired businesses and improving operating performance.

23


Product development is a key factor to organic and synergistic growth in both the Hydraulics and Electronics segments, including joint development between the two segments.  In the Hydraulics segment, our most recent product introductions have been electro-hydraulics products: the FLeX™ Series Solenoid Valves and the XMD Bluetooth-configurable electro-hydraulics driver.  XMD represents the second of its kind from Sun Hydraulics and was jointly engineered by a team comprised of Hydraulics and Electronics segment personnel. We expect the trend for development of similar types of products to continue as capital goods markets move toward further electrification and digitalization of machines.  

AcquisitionsWhile not a near-term focus, acquisitions of companies that advance our technology capabilities will be critical to achieving our Vision 2025.  Target product offerings include additional CVT, CVT-adjacent hydraulic products,components and/or systems, electronic controls and instrumentation and linked technologies such as electro-mechanical actuators, factory automation, software, or products relevant to the Internet of Things. Cultivating relationships with potential acquisition targets can often be a lengthy process,Things or high-precision manufacturing.

Global Economic Conditions

Impact of COVID-19 on our business

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic disruption and substantial uncertainty exists regarding magnitude and duration of the pandemic. Broad measures taken by governments, businesses and others to limit the spread of the virus are adversely affecting the Company and its customers.

20


Currently our primary manufacturing locations are fully operational but have been impacted to differing degrees by various COVID-19 related factors such as:

Government mandated facility closures.

o

Our Chinese locations were closed throughout February, after the national holiday, and reopened mid-March at about 50% working capacity. We gradually resumed full production in China by the end of the quarter.

o

Production in our Faster operation located in Italy was down for four weeks starting in mid-March. During this time, the facility was permitted to ship finished goods to essential business customers and continue administrative functions through remote working capabilities. Production resumed on April 14th, 2020 and the location is currently fully operational.

o

Our US locations are considered essential businesses and have remained operational; however, production schedules have been adjusted as needed for deep cleaning and social distancing accommodations.

Reduced workforce. Employees are exercising caution and have self-quarantined when appropriate which has caused a reduction in workforce.

Supply chain constraints. The majority of our suppliers remain open and we have experienced minimal disruption to production from supply chain. We have seen a small increase in past due orders recently within our Electronics segment due to some supply shortages; however, we are actively managing the situation and have not been significantly impacted to date.

Delivery constraints. We have experienced some delivery delays primarily due to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers in the U.S. and Europe having temporarily shut down. Some OEM customers have requested to push out delivery dates until later in the second quarter, and/or out of the second quarter into the third and fourth quarters. We have not seen a significant number of order cancellations to date. Distributor customers remain open across the globe as they are deemed essential.

Employees are working from home when possible, and we believe it is keyhave taken significant measures to creating successful acquisitions with sustainable business results.  ensure the health and safety of those working at our facilities.

We have an established listupdated our risk factors in Part II, Item 1A, of potential targets at any given timethis Quarterly Report, in light of the continued and entertain reviewing other opportunities for acquisition as they become known to us.expected impact of COVID-19 on our business.

AcquisitionsThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, liquidity and financial resources and 2020 outlook are discussed later within their respective sections.

Brexit

In April 2018 we completed our acquisition of Faster, an Italian company headquartered near Milan, Italy. Faster is a worldwide leader in engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of quick release hydraulic coupling solutions. The completion of this acquisition brings us another step closer toJanuary 2020, the realization of our Vision 2025. Faster fits this strategy well and upholds a strongly innovative culture, driving new product development and market leadership. Faster further diversifies the Company more deeply into the global agriculture market. The business also broadens our global footprint, advancing our ‘in the region, for the region’ initiative.

On August 1, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Custom Fluidpower, a leading provider of hydraulic, pneumatic, electronic and instrumentation solutions. The company supplies hydraulic, pneumatic, filtration and lubrication products and offers complete system design, installation and commissioning, and service and repairs, to a broad range of industries including agriculture, aerospace, exploration, industrial, marine, mobile, mining and material handling.  Headquartered in Newcastle, NSW, Australia, Custom Fluidpower has operational branches co-located with its headquarters as well as throughout Australia.  Custom Fluidpower further diversifies our hydraulics product and service portfolio and broadens our global footprint.

Global economic conditions

In June 2016, voters in the United Kingdom (“UK”) approved the UK’s exit fromUK exited the European Union (“EU”) (“Brexit”). The timing ofDuring the UK’s exit fromtransition period, which ends on December 31, 2020, the EU remains uncertain; the EU has extended the deadline for the UK to exit the EU until October 31, 2019. With the termsdetails of the UK’s withdrawal and the nature of its future relationship with the EU still being decided, thewill be decided. The Company continues to monitor the status of the negotiations and plan for potential impact. We have considered the following factors that mitigate the potential impact of Brexit on the import and export of goods to and from the UK:

Helios locations outside of the UK do not source raw materials or parts from UK suppliers;

Parts and raw materials sourced by our UK locations from EU suppliers can also be sourced from local UK suppliers;

EU customers served by our UK entities can be serviced by any of our global subsidiaries;

Customers who relocate outside of the UK can be serviced by any of our global subsidiaries; and

The level and type of business conducted at our UK entities limits our exposure to new regulatory risk resulting from Brexit.

24


The ultimate impact of Brexit on the Company’s financial results is uncertain. However, based on the above noted mitigating factors, we do not expect the effects of Brexit to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. We are not aware of any material contracts that may require renegotiation or termination due to the impact of Brexit.  For additional information, refer to the “Item 1A—RiskPart I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” sectionand Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 26, 2019.10-K.

Industry conditionsConditions

Market demand for our products is dependent on demand for the industrial goods in which the products are incorporated.  The capital goods industries in general, and the Hydraulics and Electronics segments specifically, are subject to economic cycles.  According to the National Fluid Power Association (the fluid power industry’s trade association in the United States), the U.S. index of shipments of hydraulic products decreased 2% during the first six months of 2019 while orders decreased 10% during the same period. The Institute of Printed Circuits Association reported that North American electronics industry sales growth remained positive for printed circuit boards (PCB) and electronics manufacturing services (EMS), while semiconductor sales growth continued to decline into negative territory.

We utilize industry trend reports from various sources, as well as feedback from customers and distributors, to evaluate economic trends.  We also rely on global government statistics such as Gross Domestic Product and Purchasing Managers Index to understand higher level economicmacro-economic conditions.

21


Hydraulics

According to the National Fluid Power Association (the fluid power industry’s trade association in the U.S.), the U.S. index of shipments of hydraulic products decreased an additional 13% during the first three months of 2020, after decreasing 7% in 2019. In Europe, the CEMA Business Barometer reported the general business climate index for the European agricultural machinery industry dropped sharply in April, although the impact of COVID-19 on future periods remains uncertain. The CECE (Committee for European Construction Equipment) business climate index saw a sharp drop in March after three months of strong recovery, primarily attributable to deteriorating future business expectations.

Electronics

According to the Federal Reserve’s Industrial Production Index, which measures the real output of all relevant establishments located in the U.S., sales of semiconductors and other electronics components peaked at the end of the 2019 Secondfourth quarter and have since declined slowly back to mid-fourth quarter 2019 levels. The Institute of Printed Circuits Association reports that total North American printed circuit board shipments in February 2020 were down 1.1% compared to the same month last year; however, compared to January 2020, February shipments rose 1.5%. In our electronics segment, we are experiencing sales declining in excess of the overall market, primarily due to a strategic change we made to our customer base during 2019. For additional information, refer to the discussion of 2020 results of our electronics segment below.

Continued negative impacts to the second quarter of 2019global economy and reductions in our expected future cash flows could cause further impairment to 39.1% compared to 37.0% in the prior-year second quarter. The improvement was driven by a reduction of $3.1 million of amortization of acquisition related inventory step up costs and margin improvement from our organic businesses with the Hydraulics and Electronics segments of 0.8 and 2.4 percentage points, respectively which resulted from production efficiencies and successful cost management efforts. These improvements were offset by lower gross profit margin contributed by Custom Fluidpower, due to their value-add integrator business model.goodwill or other assets.

2019 Outlook

Consolidated revenue for the full year 2019 is expected to be between $565 million and $575 million, with the Hydraulics segment contributing between $453 million and $458 million and the Electronics segment contributing between $112 million and $117 million. Consolidated U.S. GAAP EPS is expected to be $1.95 to $2.05 for the full year 2019. Consolidated non-GAAP cash EPS, which excludes amortization expense and certain one-time costs, is expected to be between $2.40 and $2.50. The full year adjusted EBITDA margin, prior to certain one-time costs, is anticipated to be 23.5% to 24.0%.

We are updating our guidance for 2019 in light of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as softening end market conditions, exacerbated by the potential impact of recently announced tariffs.  A high percentage of the change in our revenue guidance is attributable to the unfavorable impact of currency changes.  The remainder is due to the impact of further softening in the recreational and oil and gas markets in our Electronics segment, as well as the impact of general market softening in our Hydraulics segment, partially offset by the revenue anticipated from our strong backlog.  

The reduction in our revenue expectations will only have a modest impact on our adjusted EBITDA margin expectations and we still expect to grow our bottom line.  We are adapting and adjusting our business processes to respond to the current environment, while continuing to capture the synergies from our acquisitions and executing on our long-term strategic initiatives.  Our focus remains on making investments to further globalize our business, advancing our state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, and introducing innovative market-leading products and solutions that result in market share gains.  We reiterate the goals we established for Vision 2025.

We estimate that approximately $5.0 million of the countries we operate in. Changesfirst quarter sales fluctuation in exchange rates at the Sun and Faster businesses had a negative impact on the Hydraulics segment second quarter sales of $2.5 million. In addition, since the acquisition of Custom Fluidpower in August 2018, the Australian dollar declined in value to the U.S. dollar resulting in an unfavorable impact on Custom Fluidpower sales of $0.7 million during the period. Price increases, which partially offset material cost increases, resulted in an estimated $1.3 million positive impact to sales during the quarter. Sales growth was limited during the quarter due to softerfacility closures and regulatory restrictions imposed on shipments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Softening end market demand and capacity constraints at our Sarasota facilities related to specific CVT product families. Weresulted in reduced incoming orders; however, we continue to ship certain CVT and Systems product orders from our backlog due to extended lead times.

Year-to-date net sales totaled $230.2 million, an increase of $64.0 million, 38.5%, over the prior comparable period. Organic sales grew by $2.4 million, 1.4%, during the year-to-date period, which was driven by increased sales to the Americas and Asia/Pacific regions offset by a negative impact from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in exchange rates at the Sun and Faster businesses had a negative impact on sales of the Hydraulics segment for the year-to-date period of $3.6 million. In addition, the impact of exchange rates fluctuations since the acquisitions of Faster in April 2018 and Custom Fluidpower in August 2018, resulted in an unfavorable impact on sales of $3.1 million during the year-to-date period. Price increases resulted in an estimated $2.9 million positive impact to sales for the six month period ended June 29, 2019.

These effective rates fluctuate relative to the levels of income and different tax rates in effect among the countries in which we sell our products.

On March 27, 2020, the President of the U.S. signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, a substantial tax-and-spending package intended to provide additional economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has evaluated the various income and payroll tax provisions and expects little or no impact to tax expense. However, the Company is taking advantage of the various payment deferments allowed by the CARES Act and other similar state and/or foreign liquidity measures.  

2020 OUTLOOK

As a result of the evolving economic impact of COVID-19, we believe that our 2020 financial results will continue to be impacted, but the magnitude and duration of the impact is uncertain.  In addition, production at any of our facilities may be further affected as a result of possible future government, market or Company actions due to COVID-19.  For these reasons, we have withdrawn our previously issued guidance.

In the decreasenear term, we expect there will be continued impacts to our business that will hinder our ability to meet our previous sales forecast. We cannot accurately estimate this impact due to the significant level of unknown conditions that may be created by the pandemic. The economic impact of the pandemic has negatively affected our sales and orders for April. We expect second quarter headwinds, but anticipate that the largest impact was in the month of April due to shutdowns of many of our global OEM customers. A portion of our backlog has been postponed from April to later in the second quarter 2019 effective tax rate versusand a smaller number of orders have been cancelled.  In other cases, we do not have updated order schedules from OEMs due to their extended shutdowns. With ongoing significant uncertainty, we do not have sufficient visibility to reinstate guidance for 2020.

To be prepared, we have undertaken scenario analyses at varying potential demand levels. The Company has already instituted certain cost containment steps in an effort to mitigate the second quarter 2018 effective tax rate was primarily related an increaseeffects of the downturn. These actions include a temporary 20% salary reduction for all officers of the Company, layoffs and temporary salary reductions at Enovation Controls, a hiring freeze, reduction in the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) deduction.use of contingent labor and the elimination and postponement of capital expenditures. Additionally, our Board of Directors has agreed to reduce director compensation by 20% for the remainder of the year. To further protect the health and liquidity of our business, additional actions included in our scenario planning consist of:

Postponing additional non-essential capital expenditures;

Reducing our temporary labor force;

Reducing overtime;

Applying additional salary reductions;

Reducing working hours to lower payroll expense;

Executing furlough programs and/or additional layoffs;

Further reducing discretionary spending; and

Reducing or suspending the dividend to shareholders.

The extent of such actions will be determined by the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, our primary source of capital has been cash generated from operations. In recent years, we have used borrowings on our credit facilities to fund acquisitions, and during 2018 we raised $240 million in net proceeds from our public stock offering which was also used to fund acquisition activity during 2018.activity.

In the event that economic conditions were to severely worsen for a protracted period of time, we would have several options available to ensure liquidity in addition to increased borrowing. Capital expenditures could be postponed since they primarily pertainborrowing to long-term improvements in operations. Additional operating expense reductions also could be made. Finally, the dividend to shareholders could be reduced or suspended.ensure liquidity, as discussed previously.

Inflation

The impact of inflation on our operating results has been moderate in recent years, reflecting generally lower rates of inflation in the economies in which we operate. While inflation has not had, and we do not expect that it will have, a material impact upon operating results, there is no assurance that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We currently apply judgment and estimates which may have a material effect on the eventual outcome of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for impairment of long-lived assets, inventory, goodwill, accruals, income taxes and fair value measurements.

Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

II: OTHER INFORMATION

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors that affect our business and financial results that are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to such risk factors.

We face various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, which may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

We face various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, including the global outbreak of COVID-19. In recent weeks, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital. If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations will likely be impacted. We may be unable to perform fully on our contracts and our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. These cost increases may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance.

It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could also cause further disruption in our supply chain; cause delay, or limit the ability of customers to perform, including in making timely payments to us; impact investment performance; and cause other unpredictable events.

We continue to work with our stakeholders (including customers, employees, suppliers and local communities) to responsibly address this global pandemic. We continue to monitor the situation to assess further possible implications to our business, supply chain and customers, and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.

As a result of current economic conditions and expected future impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the carrying value of goodwill with respect to certain of our assets was impaired, resulting in impairment charges that negatively impacted our results of operations. We may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future if the COVID-19 pandemic continues and we cannot predict the amount and timing of any such additional charges, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

We cannot at this time predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

We are currently undergoing a period of management transition, which could be disruptive to, or cause uncertainty in, our business.

On April 9, 2020, Helios announced that its Board of Directors named Tricia L. Fulton, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. We are in the process of searching for a new Chief Executive Officer. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to find a permanent replacement on a timely basis. We face significant competition for an executive with the qualifications and experience we are seeking. The prolonged absence of a permanent Chief Executive Officer could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

For additional information regarding risk factors, please refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.10-K.
