AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(in thousands, except share amounts)

 

Overview of the Business

Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Corporation”) manufactures and sells highly engineered, high-performance specialty metal products and customized equipment utilized by industry throughout the world. It operates in two business segments – the Forged and Cast Engineered Products (“FCEP”) segment and the Air and Liquid Processing (“ALP”) segment. This segment presentation is consistent with how the Corporation’s chief operating decision maker evaluates financial performance and makes resource allocation and strategic decisions about the business.

The Segments

The FCEP segment produces forged hardened steel rolls, cast rolls and open-die forged products.engineered products (“FEP”). Forged hardened steel rolls are used primarily in cold rolling mills by producers of steel, aluminum and other metals. Cast rolls, which are produced in a variety of iron and steel qualities, are used mainly in hot and cold strip mills, medium/heavy section mills and plate mills. Forged engineered products (“FEP”)FEP principally are principally sold to customers in the steel distribution market, oil and gas industry and the aluminum and plastic extrusion industries. The segment has operations in the United States, England, Sweden, and Slovenia and an equity interestinterests in three joint venture companies in China. Collectively, the segment primarily competes with European, Asian and North American and South American companies in both domestic and foreign markets and distributes a significant portion of its products through sales offices located throughout the world.

The ALP segment includes Aerofin, Buffalo Air Handling and Buffalo Pumps, all divisions of Air & Liquid Systems Corporation (“Air & Liquid”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Aerofin produces custom-engineered finned tube heat exchange coils and related heat transfer products for a variety of industries including OEM/commercial, nuclear power generation and industrial manufacturing. Buffalo Air Handling produces large custom-designed air handling systems for institutional (e.g., hospital, university), pharmaceutical and general industrial building markets. Buffalo Pumps manufactures centrifugal pumps for the fossil-fueledfossil fueled power generation, marine defense and industrial refrigeration industries. The segment has operations in Virginia and New York with headquarters in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. The segment distributes a significant portion of its products through a common independent group of sales offices located throughout the United States and Canada.

COVID-19

On January 30, 2020,While the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency caused by a new strainCorporation is operating at more normal levels following the emergence of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and advised of the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. In response, many state and local governments required the closure of various businesses. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, however, issued guidance outlining criteria to identify domestic businesses as operating in critical infrastructure industries, essential to the economic prosperity, security and continuity of the United States, which provides exceptions to certain closures mandated by state and local governments and permits businesses to continue operations during such an order. The Corporation’s domestic businesses are deemed to participate in critical infrastructure industries; however, despite the designation and particularly in 2020, lingering effects continue, some of which are being exacerbated by the Corporation has had to periodically and temporarily idle certain operations of its FCEP segment and, consequently, furlough certain of its employees in response to market conditions. The pandemic has also spurredRussia-Ukraine conflict, including periodic disruptions to the global supply chain. Accordingly, the Corporation has experienced,chain, global inflationary pressures and may continue to experience, customer-requested delays of deliveries or cancellation of orders, lower order intake resulting from customers postponing projects, inability to obtain raw materials and supplies critical to the manufacturing process, delays in receiving and shipping product due to the lack of transportation, and higher cost of production and transportation.

It is difficult to isolate the impact of the pandemic on the Corporation’s operating results, particularly in relation to the unabsorbed costs resulting from the periodic and temporary idling of certain of the Corporation’s forged and cast roll operations and furloughing of employees. In addition, the Corporation is uncertain of the full effect the pandemic will have on it for the longer term since the scope and duration of the pandemic is unknown, and evolving factors such as the level and timing of the distribution of efficacious vaccines across the world, hesitancy to use the vaccine and the extent of any resurgences of the virus or emergence of new variants of the virus, such as the Delta variant, will impact the stability of economic recovery and growth. The extent to which the operations of the Corporation, and the operations of its customers and vendors, may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on these future developments. The Corporation may experience long-term disruptions to its operations resulting from changes in government policy or guidance; quarantines of employees, customers and suppliers in areas affected by the pandemic; and closures of businesses or manufacturing facilities critical to its business or supply chains. It may also incur higher write-offs of accounts receivables and impairment charges on its asset values, including

property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Corporation is actively monitoring, and will continue to actively monitor, the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the potential impact on its operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, industry, and workforce.

Note 1 – Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In response to the pandemic, the United States federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of employer-side social security payments and contributions to employee benefit plans, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Subsequently, on March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan (“ARP”) Act of 2021 was enacted into law, providing the next phase of economic relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARP Act, among other things, extends the provision relating to refundable payroll tax credits and deferral of contributions to employee benefit plans. Similar programs have been offered in certain of the foreign jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates, including subsidies and reimbursement of certain employee-related costs. While the Corporation has taken, and intends to continue to take, advantage of various provisions of the CARES Act, the ARP Act and other similar programs offered domestically and in foreign jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates, where possible, it is unable to determine what impact those provisions may have on its consolidated financial statements in the future.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.

Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes including removing the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, such as other comprehensive income, and accounting for franchise or similar tax, and requiring an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The guidance became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2021, and did not impact the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, operating results or liquidity.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

In August 2020,September 2022, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06,2022-04, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260, Earnings per ShareLiabilities – Supplier Finance Programs, relatingwhich requires certain disclosures related to supplier finance programs including the computationnature of earnings per share for convertible instrumentsthe program, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and contracts in an entity’s own equity.potential magnitude. The guidance becomes effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2024, with early adoption of all amendments in the same period permitted.2023, including interim periods. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time for applying generally accepted accounting principles to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another rate that will be discontinued by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The optional guidance is available as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. To date, no contracts have been required to be modified as a result of reference rate reform. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have ondisclosures in its consolidated financial position, operating results and liquidity if such an event occurs in the future and the Corporation chooses to avail itself of the optional guidance.periodic filings.  

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which adds a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses and applies it to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses

on assets that have a low risk of loss. The guidance originally became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2020; however, since the Corporation metmeets the definition of a Smaller Reporting Company, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the effective date was subsequently revised to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial position and operating results. It will not, however, affect the Corporation’s liquidity.

A warranty is considered an assurance typeassurance-type warranty if it provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended. Historically, warranty claims have been insignificant. The Corporation records a provision for product warranties at the time the underlying sale is recorded.

The current portion of debt includes primarily a swing loan under the revolving credit facility and the Industrial Revenue Bonds (“IRBs”). By definition, swing loans are temporary advances under the revolving credit facility and short term in nature. Accordingly, swing loans are classified as a current liability until the amount is either repaid, as customers remit payments, or, if elected by the Corporation, refinanced as a longer-term loan under the revolving credit facility. The swing loans equaled $1,461 and $8,744 at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Although the IRBs begin to become due in 2027, the bonds can be put back to the Corporation on short notice if they are not able to be remarketed, which is considered remote by the Corporation; accordingly, the IRBs are classified as a current liability.

Additionally, certain divisions of the ALP segment are subject to risk from increases in the price of commodities (copper and aluminum) used in the production of inventory. To minimize this risk, futures contracts are entered into which are designated as cash flow hedges. At September 30, 2022, approximately 33%, or $2,196, of anticipated copper purchases over the next 10 months and 40%, or $812, of anticipated aluminum purchases over the next 10 months are hedged. At September 30, 2021, approximately 43%, or $2,593, of anticipated copper purchases over the next eight months and 56%, or $637, of anticipated aluminum purchases over the next six months were hedged.

Note 14 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”) originally authorized, authorizes the issuance of up to 1,100,0002,700,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for awards under the Incentive Plan. In May 2021, the shareholders of the Corporation approved an amendment and restatement of the Incentive Plan for an additional 1,600,000 shares that could be issued under the Incentive Plan. At that time, there were only 165,179 shares remaining to be issued under the original Incentive Plan. Awards under the Incentive Plan may include incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and restricted stock units, performance awards, other stock-based awards, or short-term cash incentive awards. If any award is canceled, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason prior to the issuance of the shares, or if the shares are issued under the Incentive Plan and thereafter are forfeited

16


to the Corporation, the shares subject to such awards and the forfeited shares will not count against the aggregate number of shares available under the Incentive Plan. Shares tendered or withheld to pay the option exercise price or tax withholding will continue to count against the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for grant under the Incentive Plan. Any shares repurchased by the Corporation with cash proceeds from the exercise of options will not be added back to the pool of shares available for grant under the Incentive Plan.

The Incentive Plan may be administered by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine, within the limits of the express provisions of the Incentive Plan, the individuals to whom the awards will be granted and the nature, amount and terms of such awards.

The Incentive Plan also provides for equity-based awards during any one year to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, based on the grant date fair value, not to exceed $200. The limit does not apply to shares received by a non-employee director at his or her election in lieu of all or a portion of the director’s retainer for board service.

Stock-based compensation expense, including expense associated with equity-based awards granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, equaled $684 and 2020, equaled $515 and $436,$1,512, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, equaled $515 and 2020, equaled $1,543, and $913, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was not significant due to the Corporation having a valuation allowance recorded against its deferred income tax assets for the majority of the jurisdictions where the expense was recognized.

Note 15 – Litigation

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to their businesses from time to time and are also subject to asbestos litigation as described below.

Asbestos Litigation

Claims have been asserted alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos-containing components historically used in some products manufactured by predecessors of Air & Liquid (the “Asbestos Liability”). Air & Liquid, and in some cases the Corporation, are defendants (among a number of defendants, often in excess of 50)50 defendants) in casesclaims filed in various state and federal courts.

Included as “total claims pending” are approximately 661 and 711 claims in 2021 and 2020, respectively, classified in various jurisdictions as “inactive” or transferred to a state or federal judicial panel on multi-district litigation.

(2)

In 2021, the Corporation adopted the same methodology used by Nathan Associates, Inc. (“Nathan”), the liability expert who values the Corporation’s asbestos claims, in order to better align the Corporation’s data with Nathan’s liability valuation. Nathan’s methodology treats all claims filed six or more years ago as “administratively closed.” Therefore, the Corporation changed its prior practice of reporting “Total claims pending at the end of the period” into 2 categories – “Administrative closures” and “Total active claims at the end of the period.” Administrative closures now include (i) those claims that were filed six or more years ago; (ii) claims that were previously classified in various jurisdictions as “inactive;” and (iii) claims that were transferred to a state or federal judicial panel on multi-district litigation. Collectively, these claims are unlikely to result in any liability to the Corporation. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that presentation of “Total active claims at the end of the period” is a better indicator of total claims which may result in future payment.

(3)

Claims resolved do not include claims that were administratively closed.

. The majority of the settlement and defense costs reflected in the above table waswere reported and paid by insurers. Because claims are often filed and can be settled or dismissed in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Claims resolved do not include claims that were administratively closed.

Asbestos Insurance

The Corporation and Air & Liquid are parties to a series of settlement agreements (“Settlement Agreements”) with insurers that have coverage obligations for the Asbestos Liability (the “Settling Insurers”). Under the Settlement Agreements, the Settling Insurers accept financial responsibility, subject to the terms and conditions of the respective agreements, including overall coverage limits, for pending and future claims for the Asbestos Liability. The Settlement Agreements encompass the majority of insurance policies that provide coverage for claims for the Asbestos Liability.

17


The Settlement Agreements include acknowledgements that Howden North America, Inc. (“Howden”) is entitled to coverage under policies covering the Asbestos Liability for claims arising out of the historical products manufactured or distributed by Buffalo Forge, a former subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Products”), which was acquired by Howden. The Settlement Agreements do not provide for any prioritization on access to the applicable policies or any sublimitssub-limits of liability as to Howden or the Corporation and Air & Liquid and, accordingly, Howden may access the coverage afforded by the Settling Insurers for any covered claim arising out of the Products. In general, access by Howden to the coverage afforded by the Settling Insurers for the Products will erode coverage under the Settlement Agreements available to the Corporation and Air & Liquid for the Asbestos Liability.



Asbestos Valuations

At December 31, 2006, with the assistance of a nationally recognized expert in the valuation of asbestos liabilities, the Corporation recorded its initial reserve for the Asbestos Liability. WithSince then, the assistance ofCorporation and the nationally recognized expert in the reserve forvaluation of asbestos liabilities have reviewed the Asbestos Liability had been periodically updated sinceand the underlying assumptions on a regular basis to determine whether any adjustment to the Asbestos Liability or the underlying assumptions were necessary. When warranted, the Asbestos Liability was adjusted to consider the current trends and new information that time.became available and, if reasonably estimable, to extend the valuation of asbestos liabilities further into the future. In 2018, the Corporation engaged Nathan Associates Inc. (“Nathan”)valuation was extended to update the liability valuation, and additional reserves were established by the Corporation for the Asbestos Liabilityinclude claims pending or projected to be asserted through 2052, the estimated final date by which the Corporation expects to have settled all asbestos-related claims.

In conjunction with the regular updates of the estimated Asbestos Liability, the Corporation also develops an estimate of defense costs expected to be incurred with settling the Asbestos Liability and probable insurance recoveries for the Asbestos Liability and defense costs. In developing the estimate of probable defense costs, the Corporation considers several factors including, but not limited to, current and historical defense-to-indemnity cost ratios. In developing the estimate of probable insurance recoveries, the Corporation considers the expert’s projection of settlement costs for the Asbestos Liability and management’s projection of associated defense costs. In addition, the Corporation consults with its outside legal counsel on insurance matters and a nationally recognized insurance consulting firm that it retains to assist with certain policy allocation matters. The Corporation also considers a number of other factors including the Settlement Agreements in effect, policy exclusions, policy limits, policy provisions regarding coverage for defense costs, attachment points, gaps in the coverage, policy exhaustions, the nature of the underlying claims for the Asbestos Liability, estimated erosion of insurance limits on account of claims against Howden associated with the Products, prior impairment of policies, insolvencies among the insurance carriers, and creditworthiness of the remaining insurers based on publicly available information. Based on these factors, the Corporation estimates the probable insurance recoveries for the Asbestos Liability and defense costs for the corresponding timeframe of the Asbestos Liability.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of identified changes in claim data and availability of new information, the Corporation engaged GNARUS Advisors LLC (“GNARUS”) to update the estimated Asbestos Liability. The methodology used by NathanGNARUS in its updated projection was substantially the same methodology employed previously, which has been accepted by the previous expertnumerous courts, and included the following factors:

 

interpretation of a widely accepted forecast of the population likely to have been exposed to asbestos;

 

epidemiological studies estimating the number of people likely to develop asbestos-related diseases;

 

analysis of the number of people likely to file an asbestos-related injury claim against the subsidiaries and the Corporation based on such epidemiological data and relevant claims history from January 1, 2016,2018, to August 19, 2018;July 31, 2021;

 

an analysis of pending cases, by type of injury claimed and jurisdiction where the claim is filed; and

 

an analysis of claims resolution history from January 1, 2016,2018, to August 19, 2018,July 31, 2021, to determine the average settlement value of claims, by type of injury claimed and jurisdiction of filing; and

an adjustment for inflation in the future average settlement value of claims, at an annual inflation rate based on the Congressional Budget Office’s forecast of inflation.filing.

UsingBased on this information, Nathananalysis, the Corporation recorded an increase to its estimated the number of future claims for the Asbestos Liability that would be filed through the year 2052, as well as the settlement or indemnity costs that would be incurred to resolve both pending and future unasserted claims through 2052. This methodology has been accepted by numerous courts.

In conjunction with developing the Asbestos Liability through 2052, the Corporation also developed an estimate of probable insurance recoveries$23,333 for the Asbestos Liability. In developing the estimate, the Corporation considered Nathan’s projection for settlement or indemnity costs for the Asbestos Liability and management’s projection of associated defense costs, as well as a number of additional factors. These additional factors included the Settlement Agreements in effect, policy exclusions, policy limits, policy provisions regarding coverage for defense costs, attachment points, prior impairment of policies and gaps in the coverage, policy exhaustions, insolvencies among certain of the insurance carriers, and the nature of the underlying claims for the Asbestos Liability asserted against the subsidiaries and the Corporation as reflected in the Corporation’s asbestos claims database, as well as estimated erosion of insurance limits on account of claims against Howden arising out of the Products. In addition to consulting with the Corporation’s outside legal counsel on these insurance matters, the Corporation consulted with a nationally recognized insurance consulting firm it retained to assist the Corporation with certain policy allocation matters that also were among the several factors considered by the Corporation when analyzing potential recoveries from relevant historical insurance for the Asbestos Liability. Based upon all of the factors considered by the Corporation, and considering the Corporation’s analysis of publicly available information regarding the credit-worthiness of various insurers, the Corporation estimated the probable insurance recoveries for the Asbestos Liability and defense costs through 2052.

Based on the analysis described above, the Corporation’s reserve at December 31, 2018, for the total costs, including defense costs, for Asbestos Liability claims pending or projected to be asserted through 2052 bringing the Corporation’s reserve for Asbestos Liability to $180,314 at December 31, 2021. The increase was $227,922. Defense costs wereprimarily attributable to recent claim experience, including a higher expected proportion of mesothelioma claims which typically have a higher settlement value, offset by a lower defense-to-indemnity cost ratio (reduced to 70% from 80% based on experience over the past five years) and elimination of an inflationary factor based on historical experience over the past 10+ years which provided no evidence that inflationary pressures influenced settlement averages. In addition, the Corporation increased its estimated at 80% of settlement costs. The Corporation’sinsurance receivable at December 31, 2018,2021, by $16,672 for the estimated insurance recoveries attributable to the claims for which the Corporation’s Asbestos Liability reserve hashad been established includingand the portion of incurred defense costs covered by the Settlement Agreements in effect throughbringing the insurance receivable to $121,297 at December 31, 2018, and the probable payments and reimbursements2021.

The balance of the insurance receivable recorded by the Corporation does not assume any recovery from insolvent carriers. In addition, aA substantial majority of the insurance recoveries deemed probable is from insurance companies rated A – (excellent) or better by

A.M. Best Corporation. There can be no assurance, however, that there will not be insolvencies among the relevant insurance carriers, or that the assumed percentage recoveries for certain carriers will prove correct.

The amounts recorded for the Asbestos Liability and insurance receivable rely on assumptions that are based on currently known facts and strategy. The Corporation’s actual expenses or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Corporation’s or Nathan’sthe experts’ calculations vary significantly from actual results. Key variables in these assumptions are identified above and also include the number and typenature of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of disposing of each such new claim, average annual defense costs, compliance by relevant parties with the terms of the Settlement Agreements, and the solvency risk with respect to the relevant insurance carriers. Other factors that may affect the Asbestos Liability and ability to recover under the Corporation’s insurance policies include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation.

The Corporation intends to continue to evaluate the Asbestos Liability and related insurance receivable, as well as the underlying assumptions, on a regular basis to determine whether any adjustments to the estimates are required. Due to the uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation and insurance, these regular reviews may result in the Corporation adjusting its current reserve; however, the Corporation is currently unable to estimate such future adjustments. Adjustments, if any, to the Corporation’s estimate of the Asbestos Liability and/or insurance receivable could be material to the operating results for the periods in which the adjustments to the liability or receivable are recorded and to the Corporation’s liquidity and consolidated financial position.position and liquidity.

Environmental Matters

The Corporation is currently performing certain remedial actions in connection with the sale of real estate previously owned and periodically incurs costs to maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Environmental exposures are difficult to assess and estimate for numerous reasons, including lack of reliable data, the multiplicity of possible solutions, the years of remedial and monitoring activity required, and identification of new sites.

The Business

TheAmpco-Pittsburgh Corporation manufactures and sellsits subsidiaries (collectively, the “Corporation”) manufacture and sell highly engineered, high-performance specialty metal products and customized equipment utilized by industry throughout the world. It operates in two business segments – the Forged and Cast Engineered Products (“FCEP”) segment and the Air and Liquid Processing (“ALP”) segment. This segment presentation is consistent with how the Corporation’s chief operating decision maker evaluates financial performance and makes resource allocation and strategic decisions about the business.



The FCEP segment produces forged hardened steel rolls, cast rolls and open-die forged products.engineered products (“FEP”). Forged hardened steel rolls are used primarily in cold rolling mills by producers of steel, aluminum and other metals. Cast rolls, which are produced in a variety of iron and steel qualities, are used mainly in hot and cold strip mills, medium/heavy section mills and plate mills. Forged engineered products (“FEP”)FEP principally are principally sold to customers in the steel distribution market, oil and gas industry and the aluminum and plastic extrusion industries. The segment has operations in the United States, England, Sweden, and Slovenia, and an equity interest in three joint venture companies in China. Collectively, the segment primarily competes with European, Asian and North and South American companies in both domestic and foreign markets and distributes a significant portion of its products through sales offices located throughout the world.

The ALP segment includes Aerofin, Buffalo Air Handling and Buffalo Pumps, all divisions of Air & Liquid Systems Corporation (“Air & Liquid”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Aerofin produces custom-engineered finned tube heat exchange coils and related heat transfer products for a variety of industries including OEM/commercial, nuclear power generation and industrial manufacturing. Buffalo Air Handling produces large custom-designed air handling systems for institutional (e.g., hospital, university), pharmaceutical and general industrial building markets. Buffalo Pumps manufactures centrifugal pumps for the fossil-fueled power generation, marine defense and industrial refrigeration industries. The segment has operations in Virginia and New York with headquarters in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. The segment distributes a significant portion of its products through a common independent group of sales offices located throughout the United States and Canada.

COVID-19Executive Overview

On January 30, 2020,While the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency caused by a new strainCorporation is operating at more normal levels following the emergence of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and advised of the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. In response, many state and local governments required the closure of various businesses. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, however, issued guidance outlining criteria to identify domestic businesses as operating in critical infrastructure industries, essential to the economic prosperity, security and continuity of the United States, which provides exceptions to certain closures mandated by state and local governments and permits businesses to continue operations during such an order. The Corporation’s domestic businesses are deemed to participate in critical infrastructure industries; however, despite the designation and particularly in 2020, the Corporation has had to periodically and temporarily idle certain operationslingering effects continue, some of its FCEP segment and, consequently, furlough certain of its employees in response to market conditions. The pandemic has also spurred disruptions to the global supply chain. Accordingly, the Corporation has experienced, and may continue to experience, customer-requested delays of deliveries or cancellation of orders, lower order intake resulting from customers postponing projects, inability to obtain raw materials and supplies critical to the manufacturing process, delays in receiving and shipping product due to the lack of transportation, and higher cost of production and transportation.

It is difficult to isolate the impact of the pandemic on the Corporation’s operating results, particularly in relation to the unabsorbed costs resulting from the periodic and temporary idling of certain of the Corporation’s forged and cast roll operations and furloughing of employees. In addition, the Corporation is uncertain of the full effect the pandemic will have on it for the longer term since the scope and duration of the pandemic is unknown, and evolving factors such as the level and timing of the distribution of efficacious vaccines across the world, hesitancy to use the vaccine and the extent of any resurgences of the virus or emergence of new variants of the virus, such as the Delta variant, will impact the stability of economic recovery and growth. The extent to which the operations of the Corporation, and the operations of its customers and vendors, may be adversely impactedare being exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on these future developments. The Corporation may experience long-term disruptions to its operations resulting from changes in government policy or guidance; quarantines of employees, customers and suppliers in areas affected by the pandemic; and closures of businesses or manufacturing facilities critical to its business or supply chains. It may also incur higher write-offs of accounts receivables and impairment charges on its asset values, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Russia-Ukraine conflict, including:

Periodic disruptions to the global supply chain for the Corporation and its customers,

Global inflationary pressures and

Delays in receiving and shipping product due to the lack of transportation.

The Corporation is actively monitoring, and will continue to actively monitor, the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the potential impact on its operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, industry, and workforce.

In response to the pandemic, the United States federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of employer-side social security payments and contributions to employee benefit plans, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Subsequently, on March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan (“ARP”) Act of 2021 was enacted into law, providing the next phase of economic relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARP Act, among other things, extends the provision relating to refundable payroll tax credits and deferral of contributions to employee benefit plans. Similar programs have been offered in certain of the foreign jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates, including subsidies and reimbursement of certain employee-related costs. While the Corporation has taken, and intends to continue to take, advantage of various provisions of the CARES Act, the ARP Act and other similar programs offered domestically and in foreign jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates, where possible, it is unable to determine what impact those provisions may have on its consolidated financial statements in the future.


Executive Overview

For the FCEP segment, roll market conditions are improving but remain belowhave recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Expectations are for sales orders to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2022. The FEP market is also showing signs of improvementhas strengthened with increasing demand from the steel distribution and oil and gas markets. While market conditions are improving,markets, on rising oil prices. Although the segment is experiencingcontinues to be adversely impacted by escalating costs, particularly for raw and ancillary materials, energy and transportation, and supply chain issues. The segment has recently announced price increases for its forged and cast rolls and FEP product and changes to its surcharge policy for FEP product, each effective immediately, aimed at recoveringpolicies announced in the fourth quarter of 2021 are absorbing a significant portion of the escalating costs.these costs, albeit on a lag. Approximately 75% of customer orders include a commodity surcharge. The primary focus for this segment is diversificationto maintain a strong position in the roll and development ofFEP markets, diversify and develop FEP for use in other industries, ongoing commercial actions,complete operational and efficiency improvements at its facilities, and capital equipment investment activities to upgrade existing equipment with a goal of reducing costs, improving reliability and increasing FEP capacity and capabilities.

For the ALP segment, the businesses are benefitting from steadyincreasing demand but, similarly, are facing increasing production and transportation costs and supply chain issues. The segment has been implementing price increases for certain of its products to help mitigate these inflationary effects. The focus for this segment is to grow revenues, increase margins, strengthen engineering and manufacturing capabilities increase manufacturing productivity, and continue to improve its sales distribution network.

Net sales approximated $99,647 and $81,185 for the current year periods increased againstthree months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and $296,655 and $260,413 for the comparable prior year periodsnine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The increase primarily dueis attributable to higher sales for the net of:

Higher volume of mill roll shipments as certain customers return to pre-pandemic levels of production and, as a result, begin to replenish roll inventory; and

Higher volume of FEP sales due to a higher volume of shipments to customers in the steel distribution and oil and gas markets; slightly offset by

Lower sales for the ALP segment.

FCEP segment. A discussion of net sales for the Corporation’s two segments is included below.

(Loss) income from operations approximated $(74) and $(2,361) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and $849 and $(985) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Included in (loss) income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, is a charge of approximately $664 for excess COVID-19 subsidies received in 2020 but returned in 2022 (“the Refund of Excess COVID-19 Subsidies”) and a benefit of approximately $1,431 resulting from a change in how certain employees earn certain benefits (the “Change in Employee Benefit Policy”). A discussion of (loss) income from operations for the Corporation’s two segments is included below. Corporate costs decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to lower employee-related costs including lower incentive compensation and a portion of the benefit from the Change in Employee Benefit Policy being attributable to Corporate employees.

Backlog equaled $333,651 as of September 30, 2022, versus $292,554 as of December 31, 2021. Backlog represents the accumulation of firm orders on hand which: (i) are supported by evidence of a contractual arrangement, (ii) include a fixed and determinable sales price, (iii) have collectability that is reasonably assured, and (iv) generally are expected to ship within two years from the backlog reporting date. Backlog at a certain date may not be a direct measure of future revenue for a particular order because price increases, negotiated subsequently to the original order, are not included in backlog until the updated contract is received from the customer and certain surcharges are not determinable until the order is completed and ready for shipment to the customer. Approximately 60% of the backlog is expected to be released after 2022. A discussion of backlog by segment is included below.

Costs of products sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net sales, increased for eachthe three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, approximated 84.7% and 83.7%, respectively. While gross margins were slightly better for the FCEP segment for the third quarter of the current year periods2022 when compared to the same periodsthird quarter of 2021, gross margins for the prior year primarilyALP segment were slightly less as a result of the FCEP segment which experienced higher net raw material and energy costs, higher repairs and maintenance spend associated with extended machine outages, and changes inan unfavorable product mix. Additionally, the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, benefited from receipt of business interruption insurance proceeds of $769 for equipment outages that occurred in 2018 (the “Proceeds from Business Interruption Insurance Claim”). For the ALP segment, costsCosts of products sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net sales, decreased slightly asfor the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, approximated 84.5% and 81.8%, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the FCEP segment which experienced higher costs, particularly for direct and indirect materials, energy and transportation when compared to the same period of the prior year. Although a resultportion of higher pricingthese costs are recovered via the variable-index surcharge, there is a lag between the time the costs are incurred and productivity improvements offset by higher costs.the time the variable-index surcharge is invoiced to the customer.

Selling and administrative expenses were comparable for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, decreased fromand approximated $11,089 and $10,910, respectively. Selling and administrative expenses for the comparative prior year quarter principally asnine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, approximated $31,941 and $34,538, respectively, a result of:decrease of $2,597. The decrease primarily is attributable to:

 

Lower employee-related costs of approximately $800; and

Lower spend on research and development activities of $577; offset by


Higher commission expense of $452 resulting primarily from higher FEP sales; and  

Higher exchange rates used to translate the selling and administrative costs of the Corporation’s foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar of $122.

Selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, increased from the comparative prior year period principally due to:

Higher commission expense of $1,129 resulting primarily from higher FEP sales;

Higher stock-related compensation, in part, due to the increase in the share value of the common stock of the Corporation of $630; and

Higher exchange rates used to translate the selling and administrative costs of the Corporation’s foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar, which increasedreduced selling and administrative expenses by $942; offset by

Lower spend on research and development activities of $826;approximately $1,200 for nine months ended September 30, 2022, when compared to the prior year, and,

 

Lower bad debt expense of $717. In particular,Benefit from the Change in Employee Benefit Policy, which reduced selling and administrative expenses by approximately $1,020 for the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation recognized additional bad debt reserves for customers of the FCEP segment anticipated to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Depreciation and amortization was comparable between the periods.  

Investment-related income for the periods fluctuated as a result of the timing ofrelates primarily to dividends from one of the Corporation’s Chinese joint ventures. In the third quarter of 2022, the Chinese joint venture declared a dividend which equaled $504 for the Corporation. In the second quarter of 2021, the Chinese joint venture declared a dividend which equaled $1,025 for the Corporation. By comparison, the dividend was declared in the third quarter of the prior year and equaled $1,173 for the Corporation.

Interest expense decreased inapproximated $1,486 and $834 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and $3,684 and $2,672 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The increase for each of the current year periods when compared to the same periods of the prior year is principally as a result of lowerdue to higher average borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.facility and higher interest rates.

The increase in netNet sales increased for each of the current year periods when compared to the same periods of the prior year is principally due to the net of:to:

 

Higher pricing and variable-index surcharges passed through to customers as a result of higher raw material, energy and transportation costs, which increased net sales by $15,400 and $42,800 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively,

Higher volume of mill roll shipments primarily resulting from the timing of deliveries, which increased net sales by approximately $8,600 and $4,800 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively,

Higher volume of FEP shipments as a result of increased demand from the steel distribution and oil and gas markets, which increased net sales by approximately $3,600 and $10,200 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively;

Higher volume of mill roll shipments resulting from improved demand as certain customers return to pre-pandemic levels of production and, as a result, begin to replenish roll inventory, which had minimal impact on net sales for the quarter but increased net sales$4,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, by approximately $8,900;

Changes in exchanges rates used to translate net sales of the segment’s foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar, which increased2022, but decreased net sales by approximately $1,800 and $8,800$2,600 for the three and nine months then ended, September 30, 2021, respectively; and

 

Changes in product mix, and variable-index surcharges passed through to customers as a result of higher raw material costs which increaseddecreased net sales by $1,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, but decreased net sales by $6,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Operating results for the current year periods decreased when compared to the same periods of the prior year as a result of:

Higher costs of raw materials, energy and other production costs, net of variable-index surcharges passed through to the customers, which reduced operating results by $2,900 and $7,600$6,600 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively;

Higher maintenance spending associated with extended machine outages, which reduced operating results by $900 and $2,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively;

Changes in sales product mix net of higher sales volumes, which reduced operating results by approximately $900 and $1,400 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively;

Higher commissions principally associated with the higher volume of FEP sales, which reduced operating results by approximately $400 and $1,100 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively; offset by

Higher production levels when compared to the pandemic-plagued levels of the prior year resulting in a better absorption of costs, which improved operating results by approximately of $1,300 and $5,700 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively;2022, respectively, and

 

Changes in exchanges rates used to translate operating resultsnet sales of the segment’s foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar, which increased operating resultsdecreased net sales by approximately $100$5,300 and $800$11,300 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, respectively.


Operating results for the current year periods improved when compared to the same periods of the prior year. While the segment continues to experience escalating costs for raw and ancillary materials, energy, transportation, direct labor and other items, a significant portion of these increases was recovered via the variable-index surcharge mechanism and higher pricing. The variable-index surcharge is known at the time of shipment and increases or decreases, as applicable, the selling price of the product for the corresponding changes in the published index cost of certain raw materials and energy. The variable-index surcharge is recognized as revenue when the corresponding sale of the inventory is recognized. However, since the cost of domestic raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods is primarily determined by the last-in, first-out method, the higher or lower costs of those certain raw materials and energy are recognized prior to the variable-index surcharge thus creating a lag between the time these costs are incurred and the time these costs are recovered.


In addition, operating resultsFor the three months ended September 30, 2022, the improved pricing and variable-indexed surcharge exceeded the higher raw material, energy and transportation costs by approximately $800 but, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, included:2022, under-recovered by approximately $2,100 when compared to the same period of the prior year.

In addition, (loss) income from operations improved for each of the current year periods when compared to the same periods of the prior year due to:

 

Proceeds receivedHigher volume of shipments, which had a net improvement on operating results of $1,400 and $1,500 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively,

Lower selling and administrative costs of approximately $700 and $2,100 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, including the savings generated from the Business Interruption Insurance ClaimChange in Employee Benefit Policy of $769;$562 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022,

Lower losses on the sale of equipment of approximately $300 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, offset by

 

Charges for anticipated bad debtsExpense associated with the Refund of Excess COVID-19 Subsidies in the second quarter of 2022 of $664, and slow-moving inventory reserves of approximately $1,000 for customers expected to be more severely impacted by the pandemic.

25


Changes in exchanges rates used to translate the operating results of the segment’s foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar, which reduced operating results by approximately $360 and $620 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Backlog increased slightly at September 30, 2022, from December 31, 2021, by $4,213. The increase in backlog principally isof orders for rolls increased at September 30, 2022, from December 31, 2021, by approximately $31,800 due to higherimproved demand from flat-rolled steel and aluminum customers and improved pricing. The backlog of orders for forged rolls and FEP product. An overall increase indecreased at September 30, 2022, from December 31, 2021, by approximately $11,500 due to timing of receipt of new orders from customers. Lower foreign exchange rates used to translate the backlog of the Corporation’s foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar also increasedreduced backlog at September 30, 2022, when compared to backlog at December 31, 2020.2021, by approximately $16,100. At September 30, 2021, the majority2022, approximately 59% of the backlog is expected to ship inafter 2022.

The decrease in netNet sales for the currentthree and nine months ended September 30, 2022, improved over the comparable prior year periods when comparedby $4,130 and $1,952, respectively. More specifically,

Sales of heat exchange coils benefited from a higher volume of shipments to commercial and industrial customers and

Sales of air handling systems improved due to increased order intake, while

Sales of centrifugal pumps were adversely affected by supply chain delays for purchased components and customer delays.

Operating income benefitted from the same periods of the prior year is principally attributable to a lower level of shipments due to transportation and supply chain issues which were somewhat mitigated by improved pricing. Sales of pumps decreased due to a lower volume of shipments to the power generation industry, partiallyhigher sales but was offset by higher sales to U.S. Navy shipbuilders. Salesunfavorable product mix, particularly in the third quarter of heat exchange coils were negatively impacted primarily by a lower volume of shipments to nuclear power generation customers and,2022. Operating income for the for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, includes a lower volume of business for the OEM/commercial market. Sales of air handling units were relatively comparable for each of the periods.

Operating income for the current year quarter increased when compared to the prior year quarter due to improved pricing and productivity improvements which helped to mitigate the effectsbenefit from the lower levelChange in Employee Benefit Policy of shipments and higher material costs. While also benefiting the current year-to-date operating income, the higher pricing and productivity improvements did not fully offset the impact from the lower volume of shipments.$680.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Corporation presents non-GAAP adjusted (loss) income from operations, which is calculated as (loss) income from operations excluding the Proceeds from Business Interruption Insurance Claim.Refund of Excess COVID-19 Subsidies and the Change in Employee Benefit Policy. This non-GAAP financial measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and may not be comparable to similarly-titledsimilarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Corporation has presented non-GAAP adjusted (loss) income from operations because it is a key measure used by the Corporation’s management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the Corporation’s operating performance and to develop operational goals for managing its business. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant charges or credits, that are one-time charges or credits, unrelated to the Corporation’s ongoing results of operations or beyond its control. Additionally, a portion of the incentive and compensation arrangements for certain employees is based on the Corporation’s business performance. The Corporation believes this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that it excludes from adjusted (loss) income from operations. The Corporation also believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to management, shareholders and investors, and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by the Corporation’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted (loss) income from operations is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations related to the use of adjusted (loss) income from operations rather than (loss) income from operations, which is the nearest GAAP equivalent. Among other things, there can be no assurance that additionalcharges similar to the Refund of Excess COVID-19 Subsidies and benefits similar to the Proceeds from Business Interruption Insurance ClaimChange in Employee Benefit Policy will not occur in future periods.

The adjustmentadjustments reflected in adjusted (loss) income from operations isare pre-tax. There was noThe tax impact associated with this adjustmentthe adjustments is not significant, approximately $24, due to the Corporation having a valuation allowance recorded against the deferred income tax assets for the jurisdictionmajority of the jurisdictions where the expense and income wasare recognized.

Net cash flows (used in) provided byused in operating activities fluctuatedequaled $(20,405) and $(4,398) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The significant change between the periods as a result of an increaseyears primarily is due to the ongoing investment in trade working capital as the Corporation began to returndue to a higher level of business activity following the pandemic-plagued levels of the prior year.resulting from increased demand and, for inventories, higher costs associated with inflation and supply chain disruptions.

Net cash flows used in investing activities representequaled $(12,516) and $(11,521) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Capital expenditures for each of the periods were relatively comparable and related primarily expenditures forto the FCEP segment. The Corporation has undertaken a significant capital program valued between $25,000 and $30,000,approximating $27,000 to upgrade existing equipment at certain of its FCEP locations, which is anticipated to occur over the next two to three years.be completed by December 31, 2023. At September 30, 2021,2022, commitments for future capital expenditures, including those associated with the FCEP capital program, approximated $20,000.$19,300.

Net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities improvedequaled $35,908 and $11,609 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The change period over period primarily is due to:

 

Net borrowings from the Corporation’s revolving credit agreementfacility of $10,516$15,717 versus repayments$10,516 in the prior year,

Proceeds from a sale and leaseback financing transaction completed in the third quarter of $34,273;2022 equaling $15,500,

Proceeds from an equipment financing facility completed in the third quarter of 2022, which provided proceeds of $4,014,

Net borrowings from one of the Corporation’s Chinese joint ventures from its minority shareholder of $1,525 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in comparison to repayments of $1,065 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, offset by

 

Lower proceeds in the current year from the issuance ofshareholders exercising warrants for the Corporation’s common stock of $14,842.$3,308.

In 2020,The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is primarily attributable to the Corporation repaid all borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. A portionfluctuation of the repayment was from net proceeds from an equity rights offering completed in September 2020, which equaled $18,150. In 2021,British pound and Swedish krona against the Corporation received additional proceeds of $3,308 asU.S. dollar.

As a result of shareholders exercising warrants for the Corporation’s common stock.

As of September 30, 2021,above, cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,853 during 2022 and ended the period at $12,190 in comparison to $10,337 at December 31, 2021. The majority of the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents is held by the Corporation’sits foreign operations. Domestic customer remittances are used to pay down borrowings under the Corporation’s revolving credit facility daily, resulting in

minimal cash maintained by the Corporation’s domestic operations. Cash held by the Corporation’s foreign operations is considered to be permanently reinvested;re-invested; accordingly, a provision for estimated local and withholding tax has not been made. If the Corporation were to remit any foreign earnings to it or any of its U.S. entities, the estimated tax impact would be insignificant.

Funds on hand, funds generated from future operations and availability under the Corporation’s revolving credit facility are expected to be sufficient to finance the Corporation’s operational requirements and capital expenditure requirements.debt service costs. The maturity date for the revolving credit facility is June 29, 2026, and, subject to the other terms and conditions of the revolving credit agreement, will become due on that date. While availability under the revolving credit facility also should be sufficient to fund the capital equipment investment

activities for the FCEP segment over the next few years, the Corporation is exploring potential financing alternatives. As of September 30, 2021,2022, remaining availability under the revolving credit facility approximated $42,000,$35,622, net of standard availability reserves.

Availability under the Corporation’s equipment financing facility and the Disbursement Agreement are expected to be sufficient to finance the capital program for the FCEP segment in the timeframe currently anticipated. At September 30, 2022, availability under the equipment financing facility and Disbursement Agreement approximated $18,500. Each borrowing on the equipment financing facility will constitute a secured loan transaction (each, a “Term Loan”). Each Term Loan will convert to a Term Note on the earlier of (i) the date in which the associated equipment is placed in service or (ii) December 31, 2023. Each Term Note will have a term of 84 months in arrears fully amortizing and will commence on the date of the Term Note. Borrowings under the Disbursement Agreement will be repaid over an initial term of 20 years – through August 2042.
