Business

Our Company

Altra Industrial Motion Corp. (“Altra” or the “Company”) (formerly Altra Holdings, Inc.) is the parent company of Altra Power Transmission, Inc. (“APT”) (formerly Altra Industrial Motion, Inc.) and owns 100% of APT’s outstanding capital stock. APT, directly or indirectly, owns 100% of the capital stock of 68 of its subsidiaries and 85% of the capital stock of one of its subsidiaries located in Brazil. The following chart illustrates a summary of our corporate structure:

We are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of mechanical power transmission, or MPT, and products serving customers in a diverse group of industries, including energy, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation, and turf and garden. Our product portfolio includes industrial clutches and brakes, enclosed gear drives, open gearing, belted drives, couplings, engineered bearing assemblies, linear components, gear motors, electronic drives, and other related products. Our products are used in a wide variety of high-volume manufacturing processes, where the reliability and accuracy of our products are critical in both avoiding costly down time and enhancing the overall efficiency of manufacturing operations. Our products are also used in non-manufacturing applications where product quality and reliability are especially critical, such as clutches and brakes for elevators and residential and commercial lawnmowers. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had net sales of $722.2 million and net income attributable to Altra Industrial Motion Corp. of $40.3 million.

We market our products under well recognized and established brands, many of which have been in existence for over 50 years. We believe many of our brands, when taken together with our brands in the same product category have achieved the number one or number two position in terms of consolidated market share and brand awareness in their respective product categories. Our products are either incorporated into products sold by original equipment manufacturers, (“OEMs”), sold to end users directly, or sold through industrial distributors.

We are led by a highly experienced management team that has established a proven track record of execution, successfully completing and integrating major strategic acquisitions and delivering significant growth in both revenue and profits. We employ a comprehensive business process called the Altra Business System, or ABS, which focuses on eliminating inefficiencies from business processes to improve quality, delivery, and cost.

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “Altra”, “Altra Industrial Motion,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Altra Industrial Motion Corp. and its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires or indicates.

History and Acquisitions

Although Altra was incorporated in Delaware in 2004, much of our current business has its roots with the prior acquisition by Colfax Corporation, or Colfax, of the MPT (mechanical power transmission) group of Zurn Technologies, Inc. in December 1996. Colfax subsequently acquired Industrial Clutch Corp. in May 1997, Nuttall Gear Corp. in July 1997 and the Boston Gear and Delroyd Worm Gear brands in August 1997 as part of Colfax’s acquisition of Imo Industries, Inc. In February 2000, Colfax acquired Warner Electric, Inc., which sold products under the Warner Electric, Formsprag Clutch, Stieber, and Wichita Clutch brands. Colfax formed Power Transmission Holding, LLC or “PTH” in June 2004 to serve as a holding company for all of these power transmission businesses. Boston Gear was established in 1877, Warner Electric, Inc. in 1927, and Wichita Clutch in 1949.

On November 30, 2004, we acquired our original core business through the acquisition of PTH from Colfax. We refer to this transaction as the PTH Acquisition.

On October 22, 2004, The Kilian Company, or Kilian, a company formed at the direction of Genstar Capital, then the largest stockholder of Altra, acquired Kilian Manufacturing Corporation from Timken U.S. Corporation. At the completion of the PTH Acquisition, (i) all of the outstanding shares of Kilian capital stock were exchanged for shares of our capital stock and (ii) Kilian and its subsidiaries were transferred to APT.

On February 10, 2006, we purchased all of the outstanding share capital of Hay Hall Holdings Limited, or Hay Hall. Hay Hall was a UK-based holding company established in 1996 that was focused primarily on the manufacture of couplings and clutch brakes. Hay Hall consisted of five main businesses that were niche focused and had strong brand names and established reputations within their primary markets. Through Hay Hall, we acquired 15 strong brands in complementary product lines, improved customer leverage and expanded geographic presence in over 11 countries.

On May 18, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Bear Linear Inc., now known as Warner Linear. Warner Linear manufactures high value-added linear actuators which are electromechanical power transmission devices designed to move and position loads linearly for mobile off-highway and industrial applications.

On April 5, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of TB Wood’s Corporation, or TB Wood’s. TB Wood’s is an established designer, manufacturer and marketer of mechanical industrial power transmission products. In December 2007, the Company divested the TB Wood’s electronics division.

On October 5, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets of All Power Transmission Manufacturing, Inc., or All Power, a manufacturer of universal joints.

On May 29, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Danfoss Bauer GmbH relating to its gear motor business, or Bauer. We refer to this transaction as the Bauer Acquisition. Bauer is a European manufacturer of high-quality gear motors, offering engineered solutions to a variety of industries, including material handling, metals, food processing, and energy.

On July 11, 2012, we acquired 85% of privately held Lamiflex do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais Ltda., now known as Lamiflex Do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais S.A., or Lamiflex. Lamiflex is one of the premier Brazilian manufacturer of high-speed disc couplings, providing engineered solutions to a variety of industries, including oil and gas, power generation, metals and mining.

On November 22, 2013, we changed our legal corporate name from Altra Holdings, Inc. to Altra Industrial Motion Corp.

On December 17, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Svendborg Brakes A/S and S.B. Patent Holding ApS (together “Svendborg”). We acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Svendborg from Friction Holding A/S. Svendborg is the leading global manufacturer of premium quality caliper brakes.

Our Industry

Based on industry data supplied by the Power Transmission Distributors Association in collaboration with Industrial Market Information, we estimate that industrial power transmission products generated sales in the United States of approximately $36.5 billion in 2013. These products are used to generate, transmit, control and transform mechanical energy. The industrial power transmission industry can be divided into three areas: MPT products; motors and generators; and adjustable speed drives. We compete primarily in the MPT area which, based on industry data, we estimate was a $21.9 billion market in the United States in 2013.

The global MPT market is highly fragmented, with over 1,000 small manufacturers. While smaller companies tend to focus on regional niche markets with narrow product lines, larger companies that generate annual sales of over $100 million generally offer a much broader range of products and have global capabilities. Buyers of MPT products are broadly diversified across many sectors of the economy and typically place a premium on factors such as quality, reliability, availability, and design and application engineering support. We believe the most successful industry participants are those that leverage their distribution network, their products’ reputations for quality and reliability and their service and technical support capabilities to maintain attractive margins on products and gain market share.

Our Strengths

Leading Market Shares and Brand Names. We believe we hold the number one or number two market position in key products across many of our core platforms. We believe that almost 50% of our sales are derived from products where we hold the number one or number two share and brand recognition, assuming our brands in the same product category are taken together, in the markets we serve. In addition, we believe we have recently captured additional market share in several product lines due to our innovative product development efforts and exceptional customer service and product delivery.

Customized, Engineered Products Serving Niche Markets. We employ approximately 296 non-manufacturing engineers involved with product design, research and development, testing and technical customer support, and we often participate in lengthy design and qualification processes with our customers. Many of our product lines involve a large number of unique parts, are delivered in small order quantities with short lead times, and require varying levels of technical support and responsive customer service. As a result of these characteristics, as well as the essential nature of our products to the efficient operations of our customers, we generate a significant amount of recurring sales with repeat customers.

Aftermarket Sales Supported by Large Installed Base. With a history dating back to 1857 with the formation of TB Wood’s, we believe we benefit from one of the largest installed customer bases in the industry. The moving, wearing nature of our products necessitates regular replacement and our large installed base of products generates significant aftermarket replacement demand. This has created a recurring revenue stream from a diversified group of end-user customers. For 2013, we estimate that approximately 42% of our revenues were derived from aftermarket sales.

Diversified End Markets. Our revenue base has a balanced exposure across a diverse mix of end-user industries, including energy, food processing, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation, and turf and garden. We believe our diversified end markets insulate us from volatility in any single industry or type

of end-user. In 2013, no single industry represented more than 10.8% of our total sales. In addition, we are geographically diversified with approximately 40% of our sales coming from outside North America during 2013.

Strong Relationships with Distributors and OEMs. We have over 1,000 direct OEM customers and enjoy established, long-term relationships with the leading industrial MPT distributors, critical factors that contribute to our high base of recurring aftermarket revenues. We sell our products through more than 3,000 distributor outlets worldwide. We believe our scale, expansive product lines and end-user preference for our products make our product portfolio attractive to both large and multi-branch distributors, as well as regional and independent distributors in our industry.

Experienced, High-Caliber Management Team. We are led by a highly experienced management team with over 250 years of cumulative industrial business experience and an average of 15 years with our companies. Our CEO, Carl Christenson, has over 30 years of experience in the MPT industry, while our CFO, Christian Storch, has approximately 25 years of experience. Our management team has established a proven track record of execution, successfully completing and integrating major strategic acquisitions and delivering significant growth and profitability.

The Altra Business System. We benefit from an established culture of lean management emphasizing quality, delivery and cost through the Altra Business System, or ABS. ABS is at the core of our performance-driven culture and drives both our strategic development and operational improvements. We continually evaluate every aspect of our business to identify productivity improvements and cost savings.

Our Business Strategy

Our long-term strategy is to increase our sales through organic growth, expand our geographic reach and product offerings through strategic acquisitions and improve our profitability through cost reduction initiatives. We seek to achieve these objectives through the following strategies:

Leverage Our Sales and Distribution Network. We intend to continue to leverage our established, long-term relationships with the industry’s leading national and regional distributors to help maintain and grow our revenues. We seek to capitalize on customer brand preferences for our products to generate pull-through aftermarket demand from our distribution channel. We believe this strategy also allows our distributors to achieve higher profit margins, further enhancing our preferred position with them.

Focus Our Strategic Marketing on New Growth Opportunities. We intend to expand our emphasis on strategic marketing to focus on new growth opportunities in key end-user and OEM markets. Through a systematic process that leverages our core brands and products, we seek to identify attractive markets and product niches, collect customer and market data, identify market drivers, tailor product and service solutions to specific market and customer requirements, and deploy resources to gain market share and drive future sales growth.

Accelerate New Product and Technology Development. We focus on aggressively developing new products across our business in response to customer needs in various markets. Our extensive application-engineering know-how drives both new and repeat sales and we have an established history of innovation with over 200 granted patents and pending patent applications worldwide. In total, new products developed by us during the past three years generated approximately $74 million in revenues during 2013.

Capitalize on Growth and Sourcing Opportunities in the Asia-Pacific Market. We intend to leverage our established sales offices in the Asia Pacific region and expand into regions where we currently do not have sales representation. In 2012, we expanded our manufacturing presence in Asia beyond our current plant in Shenzhen, China, with the addition of our new manufacturing facility in Changzhou, China. In addition, with the Svendborg Acquisition in 2013, we acquired a leased production facility in Shanghai, China. During 2013, we sourced approximately 25.1% of our purchases from low-cost countries, resulting in average cost reductions of approximately 23.1% for these products. Within the next several years, we intend to utilize our sourcing resources in China to increase our current level of low-cost country sourced purchases. We may also consider additional opportunities to outsource some of our production from North American and Western European locations to Asia or lower cost regions.

Continue to Improve Operational and Manufacturing Efficiencies through ABS. We believe we can continue to improve profitability through cost control, overhead rationalization, global process optimization, continued implementation of lean manufacturing techniques and strategic pricing initiatives. Our operating plan, based on manufacturing centers of excellence, provides additional opportunities to consolidate purchasing processes and reduce costs by sharing best practices across geographies and business lines.

Selectively Pursue Strategic Acquisitions that Complement Our Strong Platform. We have a successful track record of identifying, acquiring and integrating acquisitions. We believe that in the future there may be a number of attractive potential acquisition candidates, in part due to the fragmented nature of the industry. We plan to continue our disciplined pursuit of strategic acquisitions to strengthen our product portfolio, enhance our industry leadership, leverage fixed costs, expand our global footprint, and create value in products and markets that we know and understand.

Engineered Belted Drives. Belted drives incorporate both a rubber-based belt and at least two sheaves or sprockets. Belted drives typically change the speed of an electric motor or engine to the level required for a particular piece of equipment. Our belted drive line includes three types of v-belts, three types of synchronous belts, standard and made-to-order sheaves and sprockets, and split taper bushings. We sell belted drives to a wide range of end markets, including aggregate, energy, chemical and material handling. Our engineered belted drives are primarily manufactured under the TB Wood’s brand in our facilities in Pennsylvania and Mexico.

Research and Development and Product Engineering

We closely integrate new product development with marketing, manufacturing and product engineering in meeting the needs of our customers. We have product engineering teams that work to enhance our existing products and develop new product applications for our growing base of customers that require custom solutions. We believe these capabilities provide a significant competitive advantage in the development of high quality industrial power transmission products. Our product engineering teams focus on:

•

lowering the cost of manufacturing our existing products;

•

redesigning existing product lines to increase their efficiency or enhance their performance; and

•

developing new product applications.

Our continued investment in new product development is intended to help drive customer growth as we address key customer needs.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our products in over 70 countries to over 1,000 direct OEM customers and over 3,000 distributor outlets. We offer our products through our direct sales force comprised of 172 company-employed sales associates as well as independent sales representatives. Our worldwide sales and distribution presence enables us to provide timely and responsive support and service to our customers, many of which operate globally, and to capitalize on growth opportunities in both developed and emerging markets around the world.

We employ an integrated sales and marketing strategy concentrated on both key industries and individual product lines. We believe this dual vertical market and horizontal product approach distinguishes us in the marketplace allowing us to quickly identify trends and customer growth opportunities and deploy resources accordingly. Within our key industries, we market to OEMs, encouraging them to incorporate our products into their equipment designs, to distributors and to end-users, helping to foster brand preference. With this strategy, we are able to leverage our industry experience and product breadth to sell MPT and motion control solutions for a host of industrial applications.

Distribution

Our MPT components are either incorporated into end products sold by OEMs or sold through industrial distributors as aftermarket products to end users and smaller OEMs. We operate a geographically diversified business. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we derived approximately 60% of our net sales from customers in North America, 28% from customers in Europe and 12% from customers in Asia and the rest of the world. Our global customer base is served by an extensive global sales network comprised of our sales staff as well as our network of over 3,000 distributor outlets.

Rather than serving as passive conduits for delivery of product, our industrial distributors are active participants in influencing product purchasing decisions in the MPT industry. In addition, distributors play a critical role through stocking inventory of our products, which amplifies the accessibility of our products to aftermarket buyers. It is for this reason that distributor partner relationships are so critical to the success of the business. We enjoy strong established relationships with the leading distributors as well as a broad, diversified base of specialty and regional distributors.

Competition

We operate in highly fragmented and very competitive markets within the MPT market. Some of our competitors have achieved substantially more market penetration in certain of the markets in which we operate, such as helical gear drives, and some of our competitors are larger than us and have greater financial and other resources. In particular, we compete with Emerson Power Transmission Manufacturing LP, Rexnord Corporation., and Regal-Beloit Corporation. In addition, with respect to certain of our products, we compete with divisions of our OEM customers. Competition in our business lines is based on a number of considerations including quality, reliability, pricing, availability and design and application engineering support. Our customers increasingly demand a broad product range and we must continue to develop our expertise in order to manufacture and market these products successfully. To remain competitive, regular investment in manufacturing, customer service, and support, marketing, sales, research and development and intellectual property protection is required. We may have to adjust the prices of some of our products to stay competitive. In addition, some of our larger, more sophisticated customers are attempting to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase in order to increase their efficiency. There is substantial and continuing pressure on major OEMs and larger distributors to reduce costs, including the cost of products purchased from outside suppliers such as us. As a result of cost pressures from our customers, our ability to compete depends in part on our ability to generate production cost savings and, in turn, find reliable, cost-effective outside component suppliers or manufacturers for our products. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — We operate in the highly competitive mechanical power transmission industry and if we are not able to compete successfully our business may be significantly harmed.”

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyright, and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements, license arrangements, and domain name registrations to protect our intellectual property. We sell our products under a number of registered and unregistered trademarks, which we believe are widely recognized in the MPT industry. With the exception of Boston Gear, Warner Electric, TB Wood’s, Svendborg and Bauer we do not believe any single patent, trademark or trade name is material to our business as a whole. Any issued patents that cover our proprietary technology and any of our other intellectual property rights may not provide us with adequate protection or be commercially beneficial to us and, patents applied for, may not be issued. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. If we are unable to protect our patented technologies, our competitors could commercialize technologies or products which are substantially similar to ours.

With respect to proprietary know-how, we rely on trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions and on confidentiality agreements. Monitoring the unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and the steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of our technology. The disclosure or misappropriation of our intellectual property could harm our ability to protect our rights and our competitive position.

Some of our registered and unregistered trademarks include: Warner Electric, Boston Gear, TB Wood’s, Kilian, Nuttall Gear, Ameridrives, Wichita Clutch, Formsprag, Bibby Transmissions, Stieber, Matrix, Inertia Dynamics, Twiflex, Industrial Clutch, Huco Dynatork, Marland, Delroyd, Warner Linear, Bauer Gear Motor, PowerFlex and Svendborg Brakes.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, we had 3,810 full-time employees, of whom approximately 51% were located in North America (primarily U.S.), 32% in Europe, and 17% in Asia and the rest of the world. Approximately 10% of our full-time factory U.S. employees are represented by labor unions. In addition, approximately 691 employees or 57% of our European employees are represented by labor unions or works councils. Approximately 66 employees in the Kilian production facilities in Toronto, Canada are unionized under a collective bargaining agreement. Approximately 25 employees in the Lamiflex production facilities in Brazil are represented by a works council. Additionally, approximately 47 employees in the TB Wood’s production facilities in Mexico are unionized under collective bargaining agreements that are subject to annual renewals.

We are a party to four U.S. collective bargaining agreements. The agreements will expire in June 2014, July 2014, October 2014 and October 2016.

We are also party to a collective bargaining agreement with union employees at our Toronto, Canada manufacturing facility. That agreement will expire in July 2015.

One of the four U.S. collective bargaining agreements contains provisions for additional, potentially significant, lump-sum severance payments to all employees covered by that agreement who are terminated as the result of a plant closing and one of our collective bargaining agreements contains provisions restricting our ability to terminate or relocate operations. See“Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — We may be subject to work stoppages at our facilities, or our customers may be subjected to work stoppages, which could seriously impact our operations and the profitability of our business.”

Our facilities in Europe and Brazil have employees who are generally represented by local or national social works councils. Social works councils meet with employer industry associations periodically to discuss employee wages and working conditions. Our facilities in Denmark, France, Germany, Slovakia, and Brazil often participate in such discussions and adhere to any agreements reached.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

We obtain raw materials, component parts and supplies from a variety of sources, generally from more than one supplier. Our suppliers and sources of raw materials are based in both the United States and other countries and we believe that our sources of raw materials are adequate for our needs for the foreseeable future. We do not believe the loss of any one supplier would have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. Our principal raw materials are steel and copper. We generally purchase our materials on the open market, where certain commodities such as steel and copper have fluctuated in price significantly in recent years. We have not experienced any significant shortage of our key materials and have not historically engaged in hedging transactions for commodity suppliers.

Our ability, including manufacturing or distribution capabilities, and that of our suppliers, business partners and contract manufacturers, to make, move and sell products is critical to our success. Damage or disruption to our or their manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire or explosion, terrorism, pandemics, strikes, repairs or enhancements at our facilities, excessive demand, raw material shortages, or other reasons, could impair our ability, and that of our suppliers, to manufacture or sell our products. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to restore our supply chain.

Seasonality

We experience seasonality in our turf and garden business, which in recent years has represented approximately 7.4% of our net sales. As our large OEM customers prepare for the spring season, our shipments generally start increasing in December, peak in February and March, and begin to decline in April and May. This allows our customers to have inventory in place for the peak consumer purchasing periods for turf and garden products. The June-through-November period is typically the low season for us and our customers in the turf and garden market. Seasonality can also be affected by weather and the level of housing starts.

Regulation

We are subject to a variety of government laws and regulations that apply to companies engaged in international operations. These include compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.S. Department of Commerce export controls, local government regulations and procurement policies and practices (including regulations relating to import-export control, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings). We maintain controls and procedures to comply with laws and regulations associated with our international operations. In the event we are unable to remain compliant with such laws and regulations, our business may be adversely affected.

Environmental and Health and Safety Matters

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local, foreign and provincial environmental laws and regulations, including those governing health and safety requirements, the discharge of pollutants into the air or water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the responsibility to investigate and cleanup contaminated sites that are or were owned, leased, operated or used by us or our predecessors. Some of these laws and regulations require us to obtain permits, which contain terms and conditions that impose limitations on our ability to emit and discharge hazardous materials into the environment and periodically may be subject to modification, renewal and revocation by issuing authorities. Fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and the failure to have or to comply with the terms and conditions of required permits. From time to time, our operations may not be in full compliance with the terms and conditions of our permits. We periodically review our procedures and policies for compliance with environmental laws and requirements. We believe that our operations generally are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and requirements and that any non-compliance would not be expected to result in us incurring material liability or cost to achieve compliance. Historically, the costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws and requirements have not been material.

Certain environmental laws in the United States, such as the federal Superfund law and similar state laws, impose liability for the cost of investigation or remediation of contaminated sites upon the current or, in some cases, the former site owners or operators and upon parties who arranged for the disposal of wastes or transported or sent those wastes to an off-site facility for treatment or disposal, regardless of when the release of hazardous substances occurred or the lawfulness of the activities giving rise to the release. Such liability can be imposed without regard to fault and, under certain circumstances, can be joint and several, resulting in one party being held responsible for the entire obligation. As a practical matter, however, the costs of investigation and remediation generally are allocated among the viable responsible parties on some form of equitable basis. Liability also may include damages to natural resources. We have not been notified that we are a potentially responsible party in connection with any sites we currently or formerly owned or operated. From time to time, we are notified that we are a potentially responsible party and may have liability in connection with off-site disposal facilities. To date, we have generally resolved matters involving off-site disposal facilities for a nominal sum although there can be no assurance that we will be able to resolve pending and future matters in a similar fashion.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business

We operate in the highly competitive mechanical power transmission industry and if we are not able to compete successfully our business may be significantly harmed.

We operate in highly fragmented and very competitive markets in the MPT industry. Some of our competitors have achieved substantially more market penetration in certain of the markets in which we operate, such as helical gear drives, and some of our competitors are larger than us and have greater financial and other resources. With respect to certain of our products, we compete with divisions of our OEM customers. Competition in our business lines is based on a number of considerations, including quality, reliability, pricing, availability, and design and application engineering support. Our customers increasingly demand a broad product range and we must continue to develop our expertise in order to manufacture and market these products successfully. To remain competitive, regular investment in manufacturing, customer service, and support, marketing, sales, research and development and intellectual property protection is required. In the future we may not have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments and may not be able to maintain our competitive position within each of the markets we serve. We may have to adjust the prices of some of our products to stay competitive.

Additionally, some of our larger, more sophisticated customers are attempting to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase in order to increase their efficiency. If we are not selected to become one of these preferred providers, we may lose market share in some of the markets in which we compete.

There is substantial and continuing pressure on major OEMs and larger distributors to reduce costs, including the cost of products purchased from outside suppliers. As a result of cost pressures from our customers, our ability to compete depends in part on our ability to generate production cost savings and, in turn, to find reliable, cost effective outside suppliers to source components or manufacture our products. If we are unable to generate sufficient cost savings in the future to offset price reductions, then our gross margin could be materially adversely affected.

Changes in or the cyclical nature of our markets could harm our operations and financial performance.

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S. and global economies in general. Some of the markets we serve are highly cyclical, such as the metals, mining, industrial equipment and energy markets. In such an environment, expected cyclical activity or sales may not occur or may be delayed and may result in significant quarter-to-quarter variability in our performance. Any sustained weakness in demand, downturn or uncertainty in cyclical markets may reduce our sales and profitability.

We rely on independent distributors and the loss of these distributors could adversely affect our business.

In addition to our direct sales force and manufacturer sales representatives, we depend on the services of independent distributors to sell our products and provide service and aftermarket support to our customers. We support an extensive distribution network, with over 3,000 distributor locations worldwide. Rather than serving as passive conduits for delivery of product, our independent distributors are active participants in the overall competitive dynamics in the MPT industry. During the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 34% of our net sales from continuing operations were generated through independent distributors. In particular, sales through our largest distributor accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013. Almost all of the distributors with whom we transact business offer competitive products and services to our customers. In addition, the distribution agreements we have are typically non-exclusive and cancelable by the distributor after a short notice period. The loss of any major distributor or a substantial number of smaller distributors or an increase in the distributors’ sales of our competitors’ products to our customers could materially reduce our sales and profits.

We must continue to invest in new technologies and manufacturing techniques; however, our ability to develop or adapt to changing technology and manufacturing techniques is uncertain and our failure to do so could place us at a competitive disadvantage.

The successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to continuously invest in new technologies and manufacturing techniques to evolve our existing products and introduce new products to meet our customers’ needs in the industries we serve and want to serve. For example, motion control products offer more precise positioning and control compared to industrial clutches and brakes. If manufacturing processes are developed to make motion control products more price competitive and less complicated to operate, our customers may decrease their purchases of MPT products.

Our products are characterized by performance and specification requirements that mandate a high degree of manufacturing and engineering expertise. We believe that our customers rigorously evaluate their suppliers on the basis of a number of factors, including:

•

product quality and availability;

•

price competitiveness;

•

technical expertise and development capability;

•

reliability and timeliness of delivery;

•

product design capability;

•

manufacturing expertise; and

•

sales support and customer service.

Our success depends on our ability to invest in new technologies and manufacturing techniques to continue to meet our customers’ changing demands with respect to the above factors. We may not be able to make required capital expenditures and, even if we do so, we may be unsuccessful in addressing technological advances or introducing new products necessary to remain competitive within our markets. Furthermore, our own technological developments may not be able to produce a sustainable competitive advantage. If we fail to invest successfully in improvements to our technology and manufacturing techniques, our business may be materially adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to international risks that could affect our operating results.

Our net sales outside North America represented approximately 40% of our total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, we sell products to domestic customers for use in their products sold overseas. We also source a significant portion of our products and materials from overseas, a practice which is increasing. Our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally, and our future results could be materially adversely affected by a variety of factors, including:

•

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

•

exchange rate controls;

•

tariffs or other trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

•

potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws;

•

interest rates;

•

unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

•

changes in foreign intellectual property law;

•

differing labor regulations;

•

requirements relating to withholding taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

•

restrictions on our ability to own or operate subsidiaries, make investments or acquire new businesses in various jurisdictions;

•

potential political instability and the actions of foreign governments; and

•

restrictions on our ability to repatriate dividends from our subsidiaries.

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of these factors could materially adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

Our operations depend on production facilities throughout the world, many of which are located outside the United States and are subject to increased risks of disrupted production causing delays in shipments and loss of customers and revenue.

We operate businesses with manufacturing facilities worldwide, many of which are located outside the United States including in Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Mexico, Russia, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom. Serving a global customer base requires that we place more production in emerging markets to capitalize on market opportunities and cost efficiencies. Our international production facilities and operations could be disrupted by currency fluctuations and devaluation, capital and currency exchange controls, low or negative economic growth rates, natural disaster, labor strike, military activity or war, political unrest, terrorist activity or public health concerns, particularly in emerging countries that are not well-equipped to handle such occurrences. Any production disruptions could materially adversely affect our business.

We rely on estimated forecasts of our OEM customers’ needs, and inaccuracies in such forecasts could materially adversely affect our business.

We generally sell our products pursuant to individual purchase orders instead of under long-term purchase commitments. Therefore, we rely on estimated demand forecasts, based upon input from our customers, to determine how much material to purchase and product to manufacture. Because our sales are based on purchase orders, our customers may cancel, delay or otherwise modify their purchase commitments with little or no consequence to them and with little or no notice to us. For these reasons, we generally have limited visibility regarding our customers’ actual product needs. The quantities or timing required by our customers for our products could vary significantly. Whether in response to changes affecting the industry or a customer’s specific business pressures, any cancellation, delay or other modification in our customers’ orders could significantly reduce our revenue, impact our working capital, cause our operating results to fluctuate from period to period and make it more difficult for us to predict our revenue. In the event of a cancellation or reduction of an order, we may not have enough time to reduce operating expenses to minimize the effect of the lost revenue on our business and we may purchase too much inventory and spend more capital than expected, which may materially adversely affect our business.

From time to time, our customers may experience deterioration of their businesses. In addition, during periods of economic difficulty, our customers may not be able to accurately estimate demand forecasts and may scale back orders in an abundance of caution. As a result, existing or potential customers may delay or cancel plans to purchase our products and may not be able to fulfill their obligations to us in a timely fashion. Such cancellations, reductions or inability to fulfill obligations could significantly reduce our revenue, impact our working capital, cause our operating results to fluctuate adversely from period to period and make it more difficult for us to predict our revenue.

Our inability to efficiently utilize or re-negotiate minimum purchase requirements in certain supply agreements could decrease our profitability.

Our ability to maintain and expand our business depends, in part, on our ability to continue to obtain raw materials and component parts on favorable terms from various suppliers. Agreements with some of our suppliers contain minimum purchase requirements. We can give no assurance that we will be able to utilize the minimum amount of raw materials or component parts that we are required to purchase under certain supply agreements which contain minimum purchase requirements. If we are required to purchase more raw materials or component parts than we are able to utilize in the operation of our business, the costs of providing our products

would likely increase, which could decrease our profitability and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Disruption of our supply chain could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The materials used to produce our products are subject to price fluctuations that could increase costs of production and adversely affect our profitability.

The materials used to produce our products, especially copper and steel, are sourced on a global or regional basis and the prices of those materials are susceptible to price fluctuations due to supply and demand trends, transportation costs, government regulations and tariffs, changes in currency exchange rates, price controls, the economic climate and other unforeseen circumstances. From the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2013, the average price of copper and steel has increased approximately 153% and 75%, respectively. If we are unable to continue to pass a substantial portion of such price increases on to our customers on a timely basis, our future profitability may be materially adversely affected. In addition, passing through these costs to our customers may also limit our ability to increase our prices in the future.

We face potential product liability claims relating to products we manufacture or distribute, which could result in our having to expend significant time and expense to defend these claims and to pay material damages or settlement amounts.

We face a business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other adverse effects. We currently have several product liability claims against us with respect to our products. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance coverage, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, or obtain insurance that will provide adequate coverage against potential claims. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for long periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful product liability defense could exceed any insurance that we maintain and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or our ability to make payments under our debt obligations when due. In addition, we believe our business depends on the strong brand reputation we have developed. In the event that our reputation is damaged, we may face difficulty in maintaining our pricing positions with respect to some of our products, which would reduce our sales and profitability.

We also risk exposure to product liability claims in connection with products sold by businesses that we acquire. Although in some cases third parties have retained responsibility for product liabilities relating to products manufactured or sold prior to our acquisition of the relevant business and in other cases the persons from whom we have acquired a business may be required to indemnify us for certain product liability claims subject to certain caps or limitations on indemnification, we cannot assure you that those third parties will in fact satisfy their obligations to us with respect to liabilities retained by them or their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to or otherwise do not comply with their respective obligations including indemnity obligations, or if certain product liability claims for which we are obligated were not retained by third parties or are not subject to these indemnities, we could become subject to significant liabilities or other adverse consequences. Moreover, even in cases where third parties retain responsibility for product liabilities or are required to indemnify us, significant claims arising from products that we have acquired could have a material adverse effect on our ability to realize the benefits from an acquisition, could result in our reducing the value of

goodwill that we have recorded in connection with an acquisition, or could otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operations.

We may be subject to work stoppages at our facilities, or our customers may be subjected to work stoppages, which could seriously impact our operations and the profitability of our business.

We are a party to four U.S. collective bargaining agreements. The agreements will expire in June 2014, July 2014, October 2014 and October 2016. We may be unable to renew these agreements on terms that are satisfactory to us, if at all.

We are also party to a collective bargaining agreement with union employees at our Toronto, Canada manufacturing facility. That agreement will expire in July 2015.

Our facilities in Europe and Brazil have employees who are generally represented by local or national social works councils. Social works councils meet with employer industry associations periodically to discuss employee wages and working conditions. Our facilities in France, Germany, Slovakia, and Brazil often participate in such discussions and adhere to any agreements reached.

If our unionized workers or those represented by a works council were to engage in a strike, work stoppage or other slowdown in the future, we could experience a significant disruption of our operations. Such disruption could interfere with our ability to deliver products on a timely basis and could have other negative effects, including decreased productivity and increased labor costs. In addition, if a greater percentage of our work force becomes unionized, our business and financial results could be materially adversely affected. Many of our direct and indirect customers have unionized work forces. Strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns experienced by these customers or their suppliers could result in slowdowns or closures of assembly plants where our products are used and could cause cancellation of purchase orders with us or otherwise result in reduced revenues from these customers.

Changes in employment laws could increase our costs and may adversely affect our business.

Various federal, state and international labor laws govern our relationship with employees and affect operating costs. These laws include minimum wage requirements, overtime, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates paid, leaves of absence, mandated health and other benefits, and citizenship requirements. Significant additional government-imposed increases or new requirements in these areas could materially affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.

In the event our employee-related costs rise significantly, we may have to curtail the number of our employees or shut down certain manufacturing facilities. Any such actions would not only be costly but could also materially adversely affect our business.

We depend on the services of key executives, the loss of whom could materially harm our business.

Our senior executives are important to our success because they are instrumental in setting our strategic direction, operating our business, maintaining and expanding relationships with distributors, identifying,

recruiting and training key personnel, identifying expansion opportunities and arranging necessary financing. Losing the services of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business until a suitable replacement could be found. We believe that our senior executives could not easily be replaced with executives of equal experience and capabilities. Although we have entered into employment agreements with certain of our key domestic executives, we cannot prevent our key executives from terminating their employment with us. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our executives.

If we lose certain of our key sales, marketing or engineering personnel, our business may be adversely affected.

Our success depends on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate highly skilled sales, marketing and engineering personnel. Competition for these persons in our industry is intense and we may not be able to successfully recruit, train or retain qualified personnel. If we fail to retain and recruit the necessary personnel, our business and our ability to obtain new customers, develop new products and provide acceptable levels of customer service could suffer. If certain of these key personnel were to terminate their employment with us, we may experience difficulty replacing them, and our business could be harmed.

We are subject to environmental laws that could impose significant costs on us and the failure to comply with such laws could subject us to sanctions and material fines and expenses.

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local, foreign and provincial environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air or water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the responsibility to investigate and cleanup contaminated sites that are or were owned, leased, operated or used by us or our predecessors. Some of these laws and regulations require us to obtain permits, which contain terms and conditions that impose limitations on our ability to emit and discharge hazardous materials into the environment and periodically may be subject to modification, renewal and revocation by issuing authorities. Fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and the failure to have or to comply with the terms and conditions of required permits. From time to time, our operations may not be in full compliance with the terms and conditions of our permits. We periodically review our procedures and policies for compliance with environmental laws and requirements. We believe that our operations generally are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws, requirements and permits and that any lapses in compliance would not be expected to result in us incurring material liability or cost to achieve compliance. Historically, the costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws, and requirements and permits have not been material; however, the operation of manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas, and a failure by us to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations, or permits could result in civil or criminal fines, penalties, enforcement actions, third party claims for property damage and personal injury, requirements to clean up property or to pay for the costs of cleanup, or regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, including the installation of pollution control equipment or remedial actions. Moreover, if applicable environmental laws and regulations, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, become more stringent in the future, we could incur capital or operating costs beyond those currently anticipated.

However, there is contamination at some of our current facilities, primarily related to historical operations at those sites, for which we could be liable for the investigation and remediation under certain environmental laws. The potential for contamination also exists at other of our current or former sites, based on historical uses of those sites. We currently are not undertaking any remediation or investigations and our costs or liability in connection with potential contamination conditions at our facilities cannot be predicted at this time because the potential existence of contamination has not been investigated or not enough is known about the environmental conditions or likely remedial requirements. Currently, other parties with contractual liability are addressing or have plans or obligations to address those contamination conditions that may pose a material risk to human health, safety or the environment. In addition, while we attempt to evaluate the risk of liability associated with our facilities at the time we acquire them, there may be environmental conditions currently unknown to us relating to our prior, existing or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities we may have assumed or acquired which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are being indemnified, or expect to be indemnified by third parties subject to certain caps or limitations on the indemnification, for certain environmental costs and liabilities associated with certain owned or operated sites. Accordingly, based on the indemnification and the experience with similar sites of the environmental consultants who we have hired, we do not expect such costs and liabilities to have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or earnings. We cannot assure you, however, that those third parties will in fact satisfy their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to, or otherwise do not, comply with their respective indemnity obligations, or if certain contamination or other liability for which we are obligated is not subject to these indemnities, we could become subject to significant liabilities.

We may face additional costs associated with our post-retirement and post-employment obligations to employees which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

As part of the acquisition of our original core business through the acquisition of PTH from Colfax Corporation, the PTH Acquisition, we agreed to assume pension plan liabilities for active U.S. employees under the Retirement Plan for Power Transmission Employees of Colfax and the Ameridrives International Pension Fund for Hourly Employees Represented by United Steelworkers of America, Local 3199-10, collectively referred to as the Prior Plans. We have established a defined benefit plan, the Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. Retirement Plan or New Plan, mirroring the benefits provided under the Prior Plans. The New Plan accepted a spin-off of assets and liabilities from the Prior Plans, in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, with such assets and liabilities relating to active U.S. employees as of the closing of the PTH Acquisition. Given the funded status of the Prior Plans and the asset allocation requirements of Code Section 414(l), liabilities under the New Plan greatly exceeded the assets that were transferred from the Prior Plans at the time of transfer. The accumulated benefit obligation (not including accumulated benefit obligations of non-U.S. pension plans in the amount of $7.7 million) was approximately $24.5 million as of December 31, 2013 while the fair value of plan assets associated with these plans was approximately $23.9 million as of December 31, 2013. In the event of any future funding deficit, the cash funding requirements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. As of December 31, 2013, there are no minimum funding requirements for years 2014 and 2015, and $0.3 million annually for each year from 2016 through 2018. These amounts are based on actuarial assumptions and actual amounts could be materially different.

Additionally, as part of the PTH Acquisition and Bauer Acquisition, we agreed to assume certain pension plan liabilities related to non-U.S. employees. The accumulated benefit obligations of non-U.S. pension plans were approximately $7.7 million as of December 31, 2013. There are no assets associated with these plans.

Finally, as part of the PTH Acquisition, we also agreed to assume all post-employment and post-retirement welfare benefit obligations with respect to active U.S. employees. The benefit obligation for post-retirement benefits, which are not funded, was approximately $0.2 million as of December 31, 2013.

For a description of the post-retirement and post-employment costs, see Note 8 to our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Our future success depends on our ability to integrate acquired companies and manage our growth effectively.

Our growth through acquisitions has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational and financial resources. Realization of the benefits of acquisitions often requires integration of some or all of the acquired companies’ sales and marketing, distribution, manufacturing, engineering, finance and administrative organizations. Integration of companies demands substantial attention from senior management and the management of the acquired companies. In addition, we will continue to pursue new acquisitions, some of which could be material to our business if completed. We may not be able to integrate successfully our recent acquisitions, or any future acquisitions, operate these acquired companies profitably, or realize the potential benefits from these acquisitions.

The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of acquisitions, including the Svendborg Acquisition, if, among other things, we are unable to achieve the expected growth in earnings, or if the operational cost savings estimates in connection with the integration of the acquired businesses are not realized, or if the transaction costs related to the acquisitions are greater than expected. The market price of our common stock also may decline if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the acquisitions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or if the effect of the acquisitions on our financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights, brands or technology effectively, which could allow competitors to duplicate or replicate our technology and could adversely affect our ability to compete.

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as on license, non-disclosure, employee and consultant assignment and other agreements and domain names registrations in order to protect our proprietary technology and rights. Applications for protection of our intellectual property rights may not be allowed, and the rights, if granted, may not be maintained. In addition, third parties may infringe or challenge our intellectual property rights. In some cases, we rely on unpatented proprietary technology. It is possible that others will independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. In addition, in the ordinary course of our operations, we pursue potential claims from time to time relating to the protection of certain products and intellectual property rights, including with respect to some of our more profitable products. Such claims could be time consuming, expensive and divert resources. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies or proprietary protection of our brands, our ability to market or be competitive with respect to some or all of our products may be affected, which could reduce our sales and profitability.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles comprises a significant portion of our total assets, and if we determine that goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles become impaired in the future, net income in such years may be materially and adversely affected.

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Due to the acquisitions we have completed historically, goodwill comprises a significant portion of our total assets. We review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles annually for impairment and any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to the results of operations. Our review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles in December 2013 resulted in no reduction to the value of such assets in our financial statements. Future reviews of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles could result in reductions. Any reduction in net income resulting from the write down or impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles could adversely affect our financial results. If economic conditions deteriorate we may be required to impair goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles in future periods.

Unplanned repairs or equipment outages could interrupt production and reduce income or cash flow.

Unplanned repairs or equipment outages, including those due to natural disasters, could result in the disruption of our manufacturing processes. Any interruption in our manufacturing processes would interrupt our production of products, reduce our income and cash flow and could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our operations are highly dependent on information technology infrastructure and failures could significantly affect our business.

We depend heavily on our information technology, or IT, infrastructure in order to achieve our business objectives. If we experience a problem that impairs this infrastructure, such as a computer virus, a problem with the functioning of an important IT application, or an intentional disruption of our IT systems by a third party, the resulting disruptions could impede our ability to record or process orders, manufacture and ship in a timely manner, or otherwise carry on our business in the ordinary course. Any such events could cause us to lose customers or revenue and could require us to incur significant expense to eliminate these problems and address related security concerns.

Computer viruses, malware, and other “hacking” programs and devices may cause significant damage, delays or interruptions to our systems and operations or to certain of the products that we sell resulting in damage to our reputation and brand names.

Computer viruses, malware, and other “hacking” programs and devices may attack our infrastructure, industrial machinery, software or hardware causing significant damage, delays or other service interruptions to our systems and operations. “Hacking” involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems or to cause intentional malfunctions, loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment. In addition, increasingly sophisticated malware may target real-world infrastructure or product components, including certain of the products that we currently or may in the future sell by attacking, disrupting, reconfiguring and/or reprogramming industrial control software. Hacking, computer viruses, and other malware could result in significant damage to our infrastructure, industrial machinery, systems, or databases. We may incur significant costs to protect our systems and equipment against the threat of, and to repair any damage caused by, computer viruses and hacking. Moreover, if a computer virus or hacking affects our systems or products, our reputation and brand names could be materially damaged and use of our products may decrease.

If we are unable to successfully implement our new ERP system across the Company or such implementation is delayed, our operations may be disrupted or become less efficient.

We are in the process of implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning system entitled “SAP” worldwide, with the aim of enabling management to achieve better control over the Company through: improved quality, reliability and timeliness of information; improved integration and visibility of information stemming from different management functions and countries; and optimization and global management of corporate processes. The adoption of the new SAP system, which will replace the existing accounting and management systems, poses several challenges relating to, among other things, training of personnel, communication of new rules and procedures, changes in corporate culture, migration of data, and the potential instability of the new system. In order to mitigate the impact of such critical issues, the Company decided to implement the new SAP system on a step-by-step basis, both geographically and in terms of processes. If implementation of the SAP system is delayed, in whole or in part, we would continue to use our current systems which may not be sufficient to support our planned operations and significant upgrades to the current systems may be warranted or required to meet our business needs pending SAP implementation. In addition, we rely on third-party vendors to provide long-term software maintenance support and hosting services for our information systems. Software vendors may decide to discontinue further development, integration or long-term software maintenance support for our information systems, which may increase our operational expense as well as disrupt the management of our business operations. In addition, we do not control the operation of any third party hosting facilities. These facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. They are also subject to break-ins, computer viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. The occurrence of any of these disasters or other unanticipated problems with our third party hosting vendors could disrupt the management of, and have a material adverse effect on, our business operations. However, there can be no assurance that the new SAP system will be successfully implemented and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Our leverage could adversely affect our financial health and make us vulnerable to adverse economic and industry conditions.

We have incurred indebtedness that is substantial relative to our stockholders’ investment. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $294.4 million of gross indebtedness outstanding including (i) a principal balance of $85.0 million outstanding under our Convertible Senior Notes (as defined herein); (ii) $41.2 million outstanding and $149.0 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein); and (iii) $94.4 million and €50.0 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. Our indebtedness has important consequences; for example, it could:

•

make it more challenging for us to obtain additional financing to fund our business strategy and acquisitions, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital;

•

increase our vulnerability to interest rate changes and general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to finance acquisitions and to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate activities;

•

make it difficult for us to fulfill our obligations under our credit and other debt agreements;

•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our markets; and

•

place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have less debt.

Substantially all of the domestic personal property of Altra Industrial Motion Corp. and its domestic subsidiaries and certain shares of certain non-domestic subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral against any outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) governing our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests, which may require that we take action to reduce our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our business objectives.

In the future, the then current economic and credit market conditions may limit our access to additional capital, to the extent that the Credit Agreement would otherwise permit additional financing, or may preclude our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness. There can be no assurance that there will not be a deterioration in the credit markets, a deterioration in the financial condition of our lenders or their ability to fund their commitments or, if necessary, that we will be able to find replacement financing, if need be, on similar or acceptable terms. An inability to access sufficient financing or capital could have an adverse impact on our operations and thus on our operating results and financial position.

Our Credit Agreement imposes significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent us from pursuing our business strategies or favorable business opportunities.

Subject to a number of important exceptions, the Credit Agreement may limit our ability to:

•

incur more debt;

•

pay dividends or make other distributions;

•

redeem stock;

•

issue stock of subsidiaries;

•

make certain investments;

•

create liens;

•

reorganize our corporate structure;

•

enter into transactions with affiliates;

•

merge or consolidate; and

•

transfer or sell assets.

The restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interest of our business, and may make it difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. A breach of any of these covenants or the inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under the Credit Agreement. If any such default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Agreement may elect to declare all of the outstanding debt, under the Credit Agreement together with accrued interest and other amounts payable thereunder, to be immediately due and payable. The lenders under the Credit Agreement also have the right in those circumstances to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings. In addition, following an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the lenders under the Credit Agreement will have the right to proceed against the collateral described above that secures the debt. If the debt under the Credit Agreement were to be accelerated, we may not have the ability to refinance that debt, and if we can, the terms of such refinancing may be less favorable than the current financing terms under the Credit Agreement. In the event that the indebtedness is accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full all of our debt.

We face risks associated with our exposure to variable interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates

We are exposed to various types of market risk in the normal course of business, including the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Some of our indebtedness bears interest at variable rates, generally linked to market benchmarks such as LIBOR. Any increase in interest rates would increase our finance expenses relating to our variable rate indebtedness and increase the costs of refinancing our existing indebtedness and issuing new debt. A portion of our indebtedness is also euro denominated. In addition, we conduct our business and incur costs in the local currency of the countries in which we operate. As we continue expanding our business into markets such as Europe, China, Australia and South America, we expect that an increasing percentage of our revenue and cost of sales will be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, our reporting currency. As a result, we are subject to currency translation risk, whereby changes in exchange rates between the dollar and the other currencies in which we borrow and do business could result in foreign exchange losses and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are exposed to swap counterparty credit risk that could materially and adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

From time to time, we rely on interest rate swap contracts and hedging arrangements to effectively manage our interest rate risk. We entered into an interest rate swap in 2013 to hedge exposure to variable rate interest rates payable on $92.5 million of our outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Failure to perform under a derivatives contract by one or more of our counterparties could disrupt our hedging operations, particularly if we were entitled to a termination payment under the terms of the contract that we did not receive, if we had to make a termination payment upon default of the counterparty, or if we were unable to reposition the swap with a new counterparty.

Our stockholders may experience dilution upon the conversion of our Convertible Notes.

Our Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock beginning March 1, 2030 or, under certain circumstances including where our stock trades above 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time as set forth in the Convertible Notes, earlier. Upon conversion, we must deliver shares of our common stock or cash. The conversion rate of our Convertible Notes was initially 36.0985 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of our convertible notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $27.70 per share of common stock), and as of December 31, 2013 is 36.91 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of our convertible notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $27.09 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Based on the current conversion rate, the maximum number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon conversion of the $85.0 million convertible debt currently outstanding is 3,137,351. In addition, our stockholders will experience dilution in their ownership percentage of our common stock upon our issuance of common stock in connection with the

conversion of our convertible notes and any dividends paid on our common stock will also be paid on shares issued in connection with such conversion after such issuance. At such time as our Convertible Notes become convertible, we will be required to include the maximum number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon conversion in our calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding which will have the effect of decreasing our earnings per share.

We are subject to tax laws and regulations in many jurisdictions and the inability to successfully defend claims from taxing authorities related to our current or acquired businesses could adversely affect our operating results and financial position.

We conduct business in many countries, which requires us to interpret the income tax laws and rulings in each of those taxing jurisdictions. Due to the subjectivity of tax laws between those jurisdictions as well as the subjectivity of factual interpretations, our estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments. Claims from taxing authorities related to these differences could have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial position.

Certain of our businesses are exposed to renewable energy markets which depend significantly on the availability and size of government subsidies and economic incentives.

Certain of our businesses sell product to customers within the renewable energy market, which among other energy sources includes wind energy and solar energy. At present, the cost of many forms of renewable energy exceeds the cost of conventional power generation in many locations around the world. Various governments have used different policy initiatives to encourage or accelerate the development and adoption of renewable energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy. Renewable energy policies are in place in the European Union, certain countries in Asia, including China, Japan and South Korea, and many of the states in Australia and the United States. Examples of government- sponsored financial incentives include capital cost rebates, feed-in tariffs, tax credits, net metering and other incentives to end-users, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of renewable energy products to promote the use of renewable energy and to reduce dependency on other forms of energy. Governments may decide to reduce or eliminate these economic incentives for political, financial or other reasons. Reductions in, or eliminations of, government subsidies and economic incentives before renewable energy markets reach a sufficient scale to be cost-effective in a non-subsidized marketplace could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our business prospects and results of operations.

New regulations related to conflict minerals could adversely impact our business

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains provisions to improve transparency and accountability concerning the supply of certain minerals, known as conflict minerals, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries. As a result, in August 2012 the SEC adopted annual disclosure and reporting requirements for those companies who use conflict minerals mined from the DRC and adjoining countries in their products. These new requirements will require country of origin inquiries and potentially due diligence, with initial disclosure requirements beginning in May 2014 relating to activities in 2013. There will be costs associated with complying with these disclosure requirements, including for country of origin inquiries and due diligence to determine the sources of conflict minerals used in our products and other potential changes to products, processes or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. The implementation of these rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in our products. As there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering “conflict free” conflict minerals, we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain necessary conflict minerals from such suppliers in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, we may face reputational challenges if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for all conflict minerals used in our products through the procedures we may implement.

Continued extreme volatility and disruption in global financial markets could significantly impact our customers, suppliers, weaken the markets we serve and harm our operations and financial performance.

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S. and global economies in general. As widely reported, U.S. and global financial markets have been experiencing extreme disruption in recent years, including, among other things, concerns regarding the stability and viability of major financial institutions, the weak state of the housing markets, a severe tightening in the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial markets, and extreme volatility in credit and equity markets. Further, economic conditions in the European Union have deteriorated and, with the Bauer Acquisition and the Svendborg Acquisition, our exposure to European markets has increased. Given the significance and widespread nature of these nearly unprecedented circumstances, the U.S., European, and global economies could remain significantly challenged in a recessionary state for an indeterminate period of time. While currently these conditions have not impaired our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations, there can be no assurance that there will not be a further deterioration in financial markets and confidence in major economies. In addition, the tight credit market may adversely affect the ability of our customers to obtain financing for significant purchases and operations and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products and services as well as impact the ability of our customers to make payments. Similarly, this tight credit market may adversely affect our supplier base and increase the potential for one or more of our suppliers to experience financial distress or bankruptcy. These conditions would harm our business by adversely affecting our sales, results of operations, profitability, cash flows, financial condition and long-term anticipated growth rate, which could result in potential impairment of certain long-term assets including goodwill.

We may not realize the expected benefits of the Svendborg Acquisition and the Lamiflex Acquisition because of integration difficulties and other challenges.

The success of the Lamiflex Acquisition and the Svendborg Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from integrating the Lamiflex and Svendborg businesses with our existing businesses. The integration process may be complex, costly and time-consuming. The difficulties of integrating the operations of the Lamiflex and Svendborg businesses include, among others:

•

failure to implement our business plan for the combined business;

•

unanticipated issues in integrating manufacturing, logistics, information, communications and other systems;

•

possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, and compensation structures;

•

unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations;

•

failure to retain key employees;

•

failure to retain key customers;

•

operating risks inherent in the Lamiflex business, the Svendborg business and our business;

•

the impact on our internal controls and compliance with the regulatory requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and

•

unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities.

We may not be able to maintain the levels of revenue, earnings or operating efficiency that each of Altra, Lamiflex and Svendborg had achieved or might achieve separately. In addition, we may not accomplish the integration of the Lamiflex and Svendborg’s businesses smoothly, successfully or within the anticipated costs or timeframe.

We face risks associated with the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Svendborg Acquisition.

In connection with the Svendborg Acquisition, we are subject to substantially all of the liabilities of Svendborg that were not satisfied on or prior to the closing date. There may be liabilities that we underestimated

or did not discover in the course of performing our due diligence investigation of Svendborg. Under the Purchase Agreement, the seller agreed to provide us with a limited set of representations and warranties, including with respect to outstanding and potential liabilities. Claims for a breach of a representation or warranty are secured by a limited escrow and warranty and indemnity insurance. There can be no assurance, however, that this limited security will be adequate or available to satisfy potential claims. Damages resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and there is no guarantee that we would actually be able to recover all or any portion of the sums payable to us in connection with such breach.

We may not realize the expected growth and production savings from Construction of our new China facility.

We have recently completed the construction of a plant in Changzhou, China. There are numerous risks and uncertainties that may prevent us from achieving the revenues we currently anticipate from this facility. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to: offer new and innovative products to attract and retain a larger customer base; attract additional customers; undertake more contracted projects; maintain effective control of our costs and expenses; respond to evolving social, economic and political changes in China; respond to competitive market conditions; manage risks associated with intellectual property rights; and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties and such growth or production savings do not materialize, or should the timeline for full production at the facility be delayed, we may be unable to achieve our expected investment return, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

General

We are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of electromechanical power transmission products with a presence in over 70 countries. Our global sales and marketing network includes over 1,000 direct OEM customers and over 3,000 distributor outlets. Our product portfolio includes industrial clutches and brakes, enclosed gear drives, open gearing, couplings, engineered bearing assemblies, linear components, gear motors, and other related products. Our products serve a wide variety of end markets including energy, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation and turf and garden. We primarily sell our products to a wide range of OEMs and through long-standing relationships with industrial distributors such as Motion Industries, Applied Industrial Technologies, Kaman Industrial Technologies and W.W. Grainger.

While the power transmission industry has undergone some consolidation, we estimate that in 2013 the top five broad-based electromechanical power transmission companies represented approximately 20% of the U.S. power transmission market. The remainder of the power transmission industry remains fragmented with many small and family-owned companies that cater to a specific market niche often due to their narrow product offerings. We believe that consolidation in our industry will continue because of the increasing demand for global distribution channels, broader product mixes and better brand recognition to compete in this industry.

Business Outlook

Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S., European, and global economies in general. Although we have recently seen modest improvement in certain end markets, the current demand environment generally remains flat across many of our early and late cycle end markets and, assuming this trend continues, we do not expect substantial end market growth in 2014.

However, even in a very slow growth environment, we expect to continue steady progress on our margin initiatives. In addition, we expect our full-year 2014 results will significantly benefit from the Svendborg acquisition. We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity to pursue strategic acquisitions should appropriate opportunities arise during 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based upon historical experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what our management anticipates and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change our reported results.

We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in that they are important to the financial statements and they require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of the financial statements.

Inventory. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for all of our subsidiaries except TB Wood’s. TB Wood’s inventory is stated at the lower of current cost or market, principally using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inventory stated using the LIFO method approximates 7.5% of total inventory. We state inventories acquired by us through acquisitions at their fair values at the date of acquisition as determined by us based on the replacement cost of raw materials, the sales price of the finished goods less an appropriate amount representing the expected profitability from selling efforts, and for work-in-process the sales price of the finished goods less an appropriate amount representing the expected profitability from selling efforts and costs to complete.

We periodically review our quantities of inventories on hand and compare these amounts to the historical and expected usage of each particular product or product line. We record as a charge to cost of sales any amounts required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value.

Business Combinations. Business combinations are accounted for at fair value. Acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally affect income tax expense. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets and liabilities acquired. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill, Intangibles and other long-lived assets. In connection with our acquisitions, goodwill and intangible assets were identified and recorded at their fair value. We recorded intangible assets for customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, product technology, patents and goodwill. In valuing the customer relationships, trade names, and trademarks, we utilized variations of the income approach. The income approach was considered the most appropriate valuation technique because the inherent value of these assets is their ability to generate current and future income. The income approach relies on historical financial and qualitative information, as well as assumptions and estimates for projected financial information. Projected financial information is subject to risk if our estimates are incorrect. The most significant estimate relates to our projected revenues and profitability. If we do not meet the projected revenues and profitability used in the valuation calculations then the intangible assets could be impaired. In determining the value of customer relationships, we reviewed historical customer attrition rates which were determined to be approximately 5% per year. Most of our customers tend to be long-term customers with very little turnover. While we do not typically have long-term contracts with customers, we have established long-term relationships with customers which make it difficult for competitors to displace us. Additionally, we assessed historical revenue growth within our industry and customers’ industries in determining the value of customer relationships. The value of our customer relationships intangible asset could become impaired if future results differ significantly from any of the underlying assumptions. This could include a higher customer attrition rate or a change in industry trends such as the use of long-term contracts which we may not be able to obtain successfully. Customer relationships and product technology and patents are considered finite-lived assets, with estimated lives ranging from 8 years to 17 years. The estimated lives were determined by calculating the number of years necessary to obtain 95% of the value of the discounted cash flows of the respective intangible asset.

Goodwill and trade names and trademarks are considered indefinite lived assets. Other intangible assets include trade names and trademarks that identify us and differentiate us from competitors, and therefore competition does not limit the useful life of these assets. Additionally, we believe that our trade names and trademarks will continue to generate product sales for an indefinite period.

Accounting standards require that an annual goodwill impairment assessment be conducted at the reporting unit level using either a quantitative or qualitative approach. As part of the annual goodwill impairment assessment we performed a quantitative assessment and estimated the fair value of each of our five reporting units using an income approach. We forecasted future cash flows by reporting unit for each of the next five years and applied a long term growth rate to the final year of forecasted cash flows. The cash flows were then discounted using our estimated discount rate. The forecasts of revenue and profitability growth for use in the long-range plan and the discount rate were the key assumptions in our goodwill fair value analysis

We review the difference between the estimated fair value and net book value of each reporting unit. If the excess is less than $1.0 million, the reporting unit could be required to perform a step two goodwill impairment analysis in a future period, if the estimated profitability decreased by 10% when compared to our forecasts to determine what amount of goodwill is potentially impaired. As of December 31, 2013, each of our reporting units had estimated fair values that were at least $1.0 million greater than the net book value.

Management believes the preparation of revenue and profitability growth rates for use in the long-range plan and the discount rate requires significant use of judgment. If any of our operating segments do not meet our forecasted revenue and/or profitability estimates, we could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis in future periods. In addition, if our discount rate increases, we could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. We performed a sensitivity analysis on the estimated fair value of our reporting units by decreasing profitability by 5% and 10% in each of the following 5 years leaving all other assumptions constant and increasing the discount rate by 5% and 10% leaving all other assumptions constant. We did not identify any reporting unit that would be required to perform a step 2 goodwill impairment analysis as the fair value of our reporting units are substantially in excess of their carrying value.

For our indefinite lived intangible assets, mainly trademarks, we estimated the fair value first by estimating the total revenue attributable to the trademarks for each of the reporting units. Second, we estimated an appropriate royalty rate using the return on assets method by estimating the required financial return on our assets, excluding trademarks, less the overall return generated by our total asset base. The return as a percentage of revenue provides an indication of our royalty rate (between 1.0% and 1.5%). We compared the estimated fair value of our trademarks with the carrying value of the trademarks and did not identify any impairment.

Long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recovered. Long-lived assets are considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, and is charged to results of operations at that time. No impairment indicators were noted in 2011, 2012 or 2013.

In 2011, 2012, and 2013 the Company did not identify any impairments related to goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets or indefinite lived intangible assets as the fair value of our reporting units and definite lived intangible assets were substantially in excess of their carrying value.

Income Taxes. We record income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the potential realization of our net deferred tax assets and assess the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The future benefit to be derived from our deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the assets. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that may be more likely than not to be realized. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance, an expense will be recorded within the provision for income taxes line on the statement of operations. In periods subsequent to establishing a valuation allowance, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our net deferred tax assets in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense in the period such determination was made.

Net sales	$	722,218	$	731,990	$	(9,772	)		-1.3	%

Net Sales. Sales decreased in 2013 primarily due to lower sales levels across all operating segments due to weak demand in all geographies as well as a decline in the mining, energy and metals industries. The decrease was offset by the positive impact of foreign exchange rate changes in the amount of $2.5 million primarily related to changes in Euro and British Pound Sterling exchange rates compared to 2012. We forecast that sales will increase in 2014 primarily due to the full year effect of the acquisition of Svendborg, and a modest increase from the introduction of new products and price increases.

Gross Profit as a percent of sales		29.8	%		29.9	%

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased in 2013 primarily due to the decrease in sales volume. The decrease was offset by the positive impact of foreign exchange rate changes in the amount of $0.7 million. We forecast that 2014 gross profit as a percentage of sales will increase modestly when compared to 2013 due to price increases and as we continue to focus on improving operational efficiency. We expect Svendborg to have a higher gross profit as a percentage of sales than that of the Company as a whole.

SG&A as a percent of sales		18.0	%		17.4	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The vast majority of the increase in SG&A, approximately $3.1 million, was due to the acquisition cost related to the Svendborg acquisition. Acquisition costs for the year were $2.5 million. Increased acquisition costs were offset by the favorable effect of foreign exchange rates in the amount of $0.8 million. We forecast increases to our SG&A costs as a result of a full year of Svendborg and general wage and benefit cost increases. We expect Svendborg to have higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales than the Company as a whole. We plan to leverage these costs on increased sales from Svendborg and as we invest in resources to enable us to grow faster in emerging markets and strategic industries in 2014.

Research and development expenses. R&D expenses increased due to increased R&D efforts as well as headcount additions. We do not forecast significant variances in 2014 as a percentage of sales.

Interest Expense, net	$	10,586	$	40,790	$	(30,204	)		-74.0	%

Interest expense. Net interest expense decreased due to our debt refinancing in November 2012 and lower average outstanding balances in 2013. The Company refinanced its debt at much lower rates than were in effect during 2012. In 2012, we paid additional premium related to the redemption of our Senior Secured Notes of $11.4 million, and wrote off the unamortized costs associated with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, in the amount of $4.4 million. In conjunction with the 2012 refinancing, we wrote off the deferred financing costs associated with the prior 2009 revolving credit agreement in the amount of $3.0 million, which appears as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We expect interest expense in 2014 to be similar to 2013.

Restructuring Expense	$	1,111	$	3,196	$	(2,085	)		-65.2	%

Restructuring expense. In the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we adopted a restructuring plan (the “2012 Altra Plan”) to improve profitability in Europe. These actions included reducing headcount, moving and relocating equipment and limiting discretionary spending. The Company does not expect to incur additional expenses during 2014 associated with the 2012 Altra Plan.

Provision for income taxes as a % of income before taxes		32.3	%		29.6	%

Provision for income taxes. The 2013 provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, was higher than that of 2012. This increase was primarily due to certain favorable discrete items in 2012 including the settlement of a tax matter with the State of New York for which the company was fully indemnified. Domestic income as a percentage of total income increased 10% from 2012 to 2013. Income is taxed at a higher rate domestically as compared to internationally.

During 2012, the Company settled a tax matter with the State of New York for which the Company was fully indemnified. Upon completion of the settlement, the Company released its reserve for $3.1 million of tax, interest and penalties combined, related to the unrecognized tax benefit. In addition, the Company recognized a benefit of $0.4 million related to the completion of the 2010 limited scope audit, and the completion of the 2007 audit by the Internal Revenue Service.

On January 2, 2013, the President signed into law The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Under prior law, a taxpayer was entitled to a research tax credit for qualifying amounts paid or incurred on or before December 31, 2011. The 2012 Taxpayer Relief Act extends the research credit for two years to December 31, 2013. The extension of the research credit is retroactive and includes amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2011. As a result of the retroactive extension, we recognized a benefit of approximately $0.3 million for qualifying amounts incurred in 2012. This benefit was recognized as a discrete item in the period of enactment, the first quarter of 2013.

We expect our tax rate for the full year to be between approximately 31% to 33%, before discrete items.

Net sales	$	731,990	$	674,812	$	57,178		8.5	%

Net Sales. Sales increased in 2012 primarily due to the full year effect of the acquisition of Bauer as well as the acquisition of Lamiflex in July of 2012. Of the increase in sales, approximately $40.6 million were additional sales related to the acquisition of Bauer and $2.7 million were additional sales related to the acquisition of Lamiflex, with the majority of the remaining increase attributable to modest increases in sales in North America and the rest of the world, partially offset by the impact related to the economic downturn in Europe and $11.0 million related to the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes primarily attributed to the Euro and British Pound Sterling rates compared to 2011.

Gross profit. Of the increase in gross profit, approximately $12.8 million was related to the acquisitions of Bauer and Lamiflex. In addition, price increases implemented during 2012, profit and productivity improvements and low cost country sourcing resulted in improved gross profit margins compared to prior year. These factors were offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes primarily related to the Euro and British Pound Sterling compared to 2011 of $3.2 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The vast majority of the increase in SG&A, approximately $13.9 million, was due to the acquisitions of Bauer and Lamiflex. Increased costs associated with wage increases of $4.1 million were offset by the favorable effect of foreign exchange of $2.1 million and a decrease in acquisition related expense of $2.5 million. SG&A as a percentage of sales increased as a result of the acquisition of Bauer.

Research and development expenses. R&D expenses increased on an absolute dollar basis but maintained a level of approximately 1.5% of sales in both periods. $0.9 million of the increase in R&D expense in 2012 was related to the full year effect of the acquisition of Bauer, which occurred in May 2011. Increased R&D activities as well as headcount additions also contributed to the increase in R&D expense.

In conjunction with the refinancing, we wrote off the deferred financing costs associated with the old revolving credit agreement, which appears as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Other non-operating (income) expense. Other non-operating (income) expense in 2012 related primarily to the settlement of a tax matter with the State of New York for which we were fully indemnified by a third party. The settlement was for less than the indemnification receivable we had recorded, resulting in a an expense of $0.9 million. We recorded an offsetting benefit in the 2012 tax provision as a result of the settlement. The remainder of expense in 2012, and income in 2011, relates to changes in foreign currency, primarily the British Pound Sterling and Euro.

Provision for income taxes as a % of income before taxes		29.6	%		22.2	%

Provision for income taxes. The 2012 provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, was higher than that of 2011 primarily due to 2011 favorable discrete items including a tax benefit for the reduction of the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax positions due to a favorable New Jersey Supreme Court ruling in a case that did not involve the Company. The reserve amount released as a result of the ruling consisted of approximately $2.3 million of tax, $1.8 million accrued interest and $0.5 million of penalties. In addition, in 2011, the Company reversed $1.4 million of deferred tax assets related to the federal benefit of the accrued state reserve. The net benefit to the Company was approximately $3.2 million. Finally, during 2011 the Company released $0.7 million of a valuation allowance against state income tax attributes.

Discrete tax items that occurred in 2012 partially offset the 2011 discrete tax items. During 2012, the Company settled a tax matter with the State of New York for which the Company was fully indemnified. Upon completion of the settlement, the Company released its reserve for $3.1 million of tax, interest and penalties combined, related to the unrecognized tax benefit. In addition, the Company recognized a benefit of $0.4 million related to the completion of the 2010 limited scope audit, and the completion of the 2007 audit by the Internal Revenue Service, and recorded a related change in tax rates in certain jurisdictions of $0.4 million. This was offset by the impact of the 2011 tax return filings in certain foreign jurisdictions which resulted in additional tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, pensions and dividends. In the event additional funds are needed for operations, we could borrow additional funds available under our existing Revolving Credit Facility, request an expansion by up to $150,000,000 of the amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement, attempt to secure new debt, attempt to refinance our loans under the Credit Agreement, or attempt to raise capital in the equity markets. Presently, we have the ability under our Revolving Credit Facility to borrow an additional $149.0 million, based on current availability calculations. There can be no assurance however that additional debt financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Similarly, there can be no assurance that equity financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Credit Agreement

On December 6, 2013, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) between certain of our domestic subsidiaries, including Altra Power Transmission, Inc. (“APT”), and Altra Industrial Motion Netherlands, B.V. (“Altra Netherlands”), one of our foreign subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the lenders party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), to be guaranteed through a Guarantee Agreement by certain domestic subsidiaries (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”; the Guarantors collectively with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), and which may be amended from time to time. The Credit Agreement amends

and restates our former Credit Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2012, as amended (the “Former Credit Agreement”), between certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including APT, the lenders party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time (the “Former Lenders”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the Administrative Agent, guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries, pursuant to which the Former Lenders made available to the Borrowers an initial term loan facility of $100,000,000 and an initial Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, of $200,000,000.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders made an additional term loan of €50,000,000 (the “Additional Term Loan”) to Altra Netherlands. The Credit Agreement keeps in effect the balance (approximately $94,375,000) of the existing term loan facility (the “Initial Term Loan”) made to the domestic Borrowers under the Former Credit Agreement (collectively, the two term loans are referred to as the “Term Loan Facility”), as well as the Revolving Credit Facility of $200,000,000 made under the Former Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement continues, even after the making of the Additional Term Loan, to provide for a possible expansion of the credit facilities by an additional $150,000,000, which can be allocated as additional term loans and/or additional revolving credit loans. The amounts available under the Term Loan Facility were used, and amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility can be used, for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and to repay existing indebtedness. The stated maturity of these credit facilities is December 6, 2018, and there are scheduled quarterly principal payments due on the outstanding amount of the Term Loan Facility. With respect to the Initial Term Loan, the scheduled quarterly principal payments due on the outstanding amount have been reamortized in accordance with the new December 6, 2018 maturity date. The previous maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Initial Term Loan had been November 20, 2017.

The amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility may be drawn upon in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the credit facilities are due on the stated maturity or such earlier time, if any, required under the Credit Agreement. The amounts owed under either of the credit facilities may be prepaid at any time, subject to usual notification and breakage payment provisions. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the credit facilities is calculated using either an ABR Rate or Eurodollar Rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurodollar Loans are between 1.375% to 1.875%, and for ABR Loans are between 0.375% and 0.875%. The amounts of the margins are calculated based on either a consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or the then applicable rating(s) of the Company’s debt if and then to the extent as provided in the Credit Agreement. A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility may also be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies.

The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Borrowers to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, limit maximum annual capital expenditures, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

As of December 31, 2013, we had $41.2 million outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility, $163.2 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility and $9.8 million in letters of credit outstanding.

Pledge and Security Agreement; Trademark Security Agreement; Patent Security Agreement.

Pursuant to an Omnibus Reaffirmation and Ratification of Collateral Documents entered into on December 6, 2013 in connection with the Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent (the “Ratification Agreement”), the Loan Parties (exclusive of the foreign subsidiary Borrower) have reaffirmed their obligations to the Lenders under the Pledge and Security Agreement dated November 20, 2012 (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which each Loan Party pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property, whether now owned by or owing to, or

after acquired by or arising in favor of such Loan Party (including under any trade name or derivations), and whether owned or consigned by or to, or leased from or to, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, except for specific excluded personal property identified in the Pledge and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include, among other items, more than 65% of the capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The Pledge and Security Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The Credit Agreement provides that the obligation to grant the security interest can cease upon the obtaining of certain corporate family credit ratings for the Company, but the obligation to grant a security interest is subject to subsequent reinstatement if the ratings are not maintained as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the Ratification Agreement, the Loan Parties (other than the foregoing subsidiary Borrower) have also reaffirmed their obligations under each of the Patent Security Agreement and a Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent dated November 20, 2012 pursuant to which each of the Loan Parties signatory thereto pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all registered patents, patent applications, registered trademarks and trademark applications owned by such Loan Parties.

On November 20, 2012, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which each Loan Party pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property, whether now owned by or owing to, or after acquired by or arising in favor of such Loan Party (including under any trade name or derivations), and whether owned or consigned by or to, or leased from or to, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, except for specific excluded personal property identified in the Pledge and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include, among other items, more than 65% of the capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The Pledge and Security Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the parties. The Credit Agreement provides that the obligation to grant the security interest can cease upon the obtaining of certain corporate family ratings for the Company, but the obligation to grant a security interest is subject to subsequent reinstatement if the ratings are not maintained as provided in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Pledge and Security Agreement, certain of the Loan Parties delivered a Patent Security Agreement and a Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each of the Loan Parties signatory thereto pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all registered patents, patent applications, registered trademarks and trademark applications owned by such Loan Parties.

We were in compliance in all material respects with all covenants of the indenture governing the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2013.

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2011, the Company issued Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) due March 1, 2031. The Convertible Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2011 at an annual rate of 2.75%. Proceeds from the offering were $81.3 million, net of fees and expenses that were capitalized.

We were in compliance in all material respects with all covenants of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes at December 31, 2013.

Cash Flows for 2013

Funds provided by operating activities totaled approximately $89.6 million for fiscal 2013 a significant portion of which resulted from cash provided by net income of $40.2 million. In addition, net impact of the add-back of certain items including non-cash depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, accretion of debt discount, deferred financing costs, provision for deferred taxes, and non-cash loss on foreign currency was approximately $39.5 million. Also included in the cash flows provided by operating activities is a net decrease in current assets and liabilities of approximately $10.0 million.

The change in cash flows from operating activities in 2013 as compared to 2012 related to an increase in cash provided by net income of $16.0 million as well as a decrease in accounts receivable and inventory. Accounts Receivable balances have decreased due to more timely collections. Inventory balances have decreased due to planned inventory management efforts that have positively impacted our inventory levels. While a variety of factors can influence our ability to project future cash flow, we expect to see positive cash flows from operating activities during 2014 due to income from operations, the add-back of non-cash expenses and a continued decrease in working capital.

The change in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of Svendborg in December 2013 for $94.6 million.

The change in net cash from financing activities was primarily due to additional borrowing in the form of a €50.0 million term loan as well as additional borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility offset by payments on the Credit Facility.

We intend to use our remaining existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to provide for our working capital needs, to fund potential future acquisitions, to service our debt, including principal payments, and for capital expenditures, for pension funding, and to pay dividends to our stockholders. We have approximately $47.1 million of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries that are generally subject to U.S. income taxation on repatriation to the U.S. We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating and investing cash needs. Furthermore, the existing cash balances and the availability of additional borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility provide additional potential sources of liquidity should they be required.

The primary sources of funds provided from operating activities of approximately $59.9 million for fiscal 2012 resulted from cash provided from net income of $24.2 million. The net impact of the add-back of certain items including non-cash depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, accretion of debt discount, deferred financing costs, and non-cash loss on foreign currency was approximately $40.8 million. This amount was offset by a net increase in current assets and liabilities of approximately $4.6 million.

The change in cash flows from operating activities in 2012 as compared to 2011 related to a decrease in accounts receivable and inventory. Due to the focus on the integration of Bauer, and the inclusion of an additional $15.5 million of accounts receivables in 2011, the cash collection of those receivables in 2011 was not as timely as it was during 2012. Inventory balances have decreased due to planned inventory management efforts that have positively impacted our inventory levels.

The change in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of Bauer in May 2011 for $69.5 million. This was offset in 2012 by capital expenditures to fund our plant construction in ChangZhou, China of $6.7 million and the acquisition of Lamiflex for $7.4 million.

The change in net cash from financing activities was primarily due to the issuance of $85.0 million of Convertible Notes in March 2011. The cash used in financing activities in 2012 was primarily used to retire $198.0 million of 8 1/8% Senior Secured Notes, to redeem $3.0 million in variable rate demand revenue bonds related to our San Marcos facility and to make $4.3 million of dividend payments. This was partially offset by the funds provided under the new Credit Facility of $179.3 million.

Capital Expenditures

We made capital expenditures of approximately $27.8 million and $31.3 million in the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These capital expenditures will support on-going business needs. Additionally, in 2013, we purchased a portion of the land and building in Esslingen, Germany in which our Bauer business operates. In 2014, we forecast capital expenditures to be in the range of $28.0 million to $30.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

(1)	We have monthly and/or quarterly cash interest requirements due on the Term Loan Facility payable at variable rates which are not included in the above table.

(2)	We have semi-annual cash interest requirements due on the Convertible Notes with $2.3 million payable in 2013 through 2017, and $0.4 million due thereafter which are not included in the above table.

(3)

In June, 2006, our German subsidiary entered into a mortgage on its building in Heidelberg, Germany, with a local bank. The mortgage has an outstanding principal balance of €0.5 million ($0.7 million) as of December 31, 2013, an interest rate of 5.75% and is payable in monthly installments over the next 2 years.

(4)

We have up to $200.0 million of total borrowing capacity, through December 6, 2018, under our Revolving Credit Facility of which $149.0 million is currently available. As of December 31, 2013, there were $9.8 million of outstanding letters of credit under our Revolving Credit Facility. We have variable monthly and/or quarterly cash interest requirements due on the Revolving Credit Facility through 2018, which are not included in the above table.

(5)

The Company has up to a 38.5 million RMB ($6.3 million) Equipment Loan with a Chinese bank to furnish its facility in Changzhou, China with equipment. The loan had a principal balance of 25.4 million RMB ($4.1 million) at December 31, 2013. Interest is payable monthly at interest rates between 5.04% and 6.69%.

(6)	The Company has minimum purchase contracts for inventory of €3.6 million ($4.9 million) for years 2014 and 2015.

From time to time, we may have cash funding requirements associated with our pension plan. As of December 31, 2013, there were no requirements for 2014 or 2015 and requirements of $0.3 million annually from 2016 to 2018, which are not included in the above table. These amounts are based on actuarial assumptions and actual amounts could be materially different.

We may be required to make cash outlays related to our unrecognized tax benefits. However, due to the uncertainty of the timing of future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement, if any, with the respective taxing authorities. Accordingly, unrecognized tax benefits of $1.0 million as of December 31, 2013, have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above. For further information on unrecognized tax benefits, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based Compensation

In January 2005, we established our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan that provides for various forms of stock based compensation to our officers and senior level employees.

As of December 31, 2013, there were 149,635 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding under the plan. The remaining compensation cost to be recognized through 2016 is $3.0 million. Based on the stock price at December 31, 2013, of $34.22 per share, the intrinsic value of these awards as of December 31, 2013, was $5.1 million.

Income Taxes

We are subject to taxation in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world. Our effective tax rate and tax liability will be affected by a number of factors, such as the amount of taxable income in particular jurisdictions, the tax rates in such jurisdictions, tax treaties between jurisdictions, the extent to which we transfer funds between jurisdictions and repatriate income, and changes in law. Generally, the tax liability for each legal entity is determined either (a) on a non-consolidated and non-combined basis or (b) on a consolidated and combined basis only with other eligible entities subject to tax in the same jurisdiction, in either case without regard to the taxable losses of non-consolidated and non-combined affiliated entities. As a result, we may pay income taxes to some jurisdictions even though on an overall basis we incur a net loss for the period.

Seasonality

We experience seasonality in our turf and garden business, which in recent years has represented approximately 7.4% of our net sales. As our large OEM customers prepare for the spring season, our shipments generally start increasing in December, peak in February and March, and begin to decline in April and May. This allows our customers to have inventory in place for the peak consumer purchasing periods for turf and garden products. The June-through-November period is typically the low season for us and our customers in the turf and garden market. Seasonality is also affected by weather and the level of housing starts.

Inflation

Inflation can affect the costs of goods and services we use. The majority of the countries that are of significance to us, from either a manufacturing or sales viewpoint, have in recent years enjoyed relatively low inflation. The competitive environment in which we operate inevitably creates pressure on us to provide our customers with cost-effective products and services.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risk factors such as fluctuating interest rates, changes in foreign currency rates and changes in commodity prices. At present, we do not utilize derivative instruments to manage these risks.

Currency translation. The results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates for each period concerned. The balance sheets of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Any adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the aggregate total assets (based on book value) of foreign subsidiaries were $387.3 million and $262.1 million, respectively, representing approximately 52.6% and 41.4%, respectively, of our total assets (based on book value). Our foreign currency exchange rate exposure is primarily with respect to the Euro and British Pound Sterling. The approximate exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2013 and 2012, were $1.38 and $1.32, respectively to the Euro. The approximate exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $1.64 and $1.62, respectively to the British Pound Sterling.

Currency transaction exposure. Currency transaction exposure arises where actual sales, purchases and financing transactions are made by a business or company in a currency other than its own functional currency. Any transactional differences at an international location are recorded in net income on a monthly basis.

Interest rate risk. We are subject to market exposure to changes in interest rates on some of our financing activities. This exposure relates to borrowings under our Term Loan Facility and our Revolving Credit Facility. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the credit facilities is calculated using either an ABR Rate or

Eurodollar rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurodollar Loans are between 1.375% to 1.875%, and for ABR Loans are between 0.375% and 0.875%. As of December 31, 2013, we had $41.2 million in borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and $9.8 million of outstanding letters of credit under our Revolving Credit Facility. A hypothetical change in interest rates of 1% on our outstanding variable rate debt would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $1.2 million. We rely on interest rate swap contracts and hedging arrangements to effectively manage our interest rate risk. We entered into an interest rate swap in 2013 to hedge exposure to variable rate interest rate payable on a portion of our outstanding borrowings, currently $92.5 million, under the Credit Facility. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swap will be reported by the Company as interest expense. With other variables held constant, a hypothetical 50 basis point decrease in the LIBOR yield curve would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $1.3 million in the fair value of the interest rate swap.

Commodity price exposure. We have exposure to changes in commodity prices principally related to metals including steel, copper and aluminum. From the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2013, the average price of copper and steel has increased approximately 153% and 75%, respectively. We primarily mange our risk associated with such increases through the use of surcharges or general pricing increases for the related products. We do not engage in the use of financial instruments to hedge our commodities price exposure.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Net Income Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are included in the per share calculations when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of basic to diluted net income per share:

The Company excluded 3,137,351 shares in 2013, 3,094,706 shares in 2012 and 784,980 shares in 2011 (amounts not in thousands) related to the Convertible Notes (See Note 9) from the above earnings per share calculation as these shares were anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Debt under the Company’s Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions including a Term Loan Facility, as defined below, of $163,245,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, of $200,000,000 approximate the fair values due to the variable rate nature at current market rates.

The carrying amount of the 2.75% Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) was $85.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $116.5 million and $94.3 million, respectively, based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the Convertible Notes (level 2).

Included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are money market fund investments of $16.6 million and $30.3 million, respectively, which are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices for such investments (level 1).

The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement with certain financial institutions (“Interest Rate Swap”) at December 31, 2013 was $0.2 million, based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the Interest Rate Swap (level 2). Inputs include present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract. There was no Interest Rate Swap at December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Non-controlling Interest

On July 11, 2012, the Company acquired 85% of privately held Lamiflex do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais Ltda. (“Lamiflex”).

The Company recorded the redeemable non-controlling interest from its acquisition of an 85% ownership interest of Lamiflex at fair value at the date of acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into put and call option agreements with the minority shareholders for the potential purchase of the non-controlling interest at a future date at a value based on a contractually determined formula. As a result of the option agreements, the non-controlling interest is considered redeemable and is classified as temporary equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The non-controlling interest is reviewed at each subsequent reporting period and adjusted, as needed, to reflect its then redemption value.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside of the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates at the end of the respective period. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates effective during the respective period.

Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations in the period incurred and included in other non-operating expense (income), net in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income.

Trade Receivables

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for estimated collection losses that will be incurred in the collection of receivables. Estimated losses are based on historical collection experience, as well as a review by management of the status of all receivables. Collection losses have been within the Company’s expectations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for all entities excluding one of the Company’s subsidiaries, TB Wood’s. TB Wood’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, principally using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Inventory stated using the LIFO method approximates 7.5% and 10% of total inventory at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The cost of inventories acquired by the Company in its acquisitions reflect their fair values at the date of acquisition as determined by the Company based on the replacement cost of raw materials, the sales price of the finished goods less an appropriate amount representing the expected profitability from selling efforts, and for work-in-process the sales price of the finished goods less an appropriate amount representing the expected profitability from selling efforts and costs to complete.

The Company periodically reviews its quantities of inventories on hand and compares these amounts to the expected usage of each particular product or product line. The Company records a charge to cost of sales for any amounts required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to its estimated net realizable value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, including capital leases is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, as follows:


Buildings and improvements			15 to 45 years
Machinery and equipment			2 to 15 years
Capital lease			Life of lease

Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the asset or the life of the lease, if shorter.

Improvements and replacements are capitalized to the extent that they increase the useful economic life or increase the expected economic benefit of the underlying asset. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangibles represent product technology, patents, tradenames, trademarks and customer relationships. Product technology, patents and customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over 8 to 17 years, which approximates the period of economic benefit. The tradenames and trademarks are considered indefinite-lived assets and are not being amortized. Intangibles are stated at fair value on the date of acquisition. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, intangibles are stated net of accumulated amortization incurred since the date of acquisition and any impairment charges.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid by the Company over the fair value of the net assets acquired in each of the Company’s acquisitions.

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company conducts an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in December of each year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an interim impairment review.

In connection with the Company’s annual impairment review, goodwill is assessed for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value using a two-step approach. In the first step, the Company estimates future cash flows based upon historical results and current market projections, discounted at a market comparable rate. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, impairment may be present, the Company would then be required to perform a second step in its impairment analysis. In the second step, the Company would evaluate impairment losses based upon the fair value of the

underlying assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, and estimate the implied fair value of the goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that a reporting unit’s recorded value of the goodwill asset exceeded its calculated fair value. In addition, to the extent the implied fair value of any indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the asset’s carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized on those assets. The Company did not identify any impairment of goodwill in 2013, 2012 or 2011.

For our indefinite-lived intangible assets, mainly trademarks, we estimated the fair value first by estimating the total revenue attributable to the trademarks for each of the reporting units. Second, we estimated an appropriate royalty rate using the return on assets method by estimating the required financial return on our

assets, excluding trademarks, less the overall return generated by our total asset base. The return as a percentage of revenue provides an indication of our royalty rate (between 1.0% and 1.5%). We compared the estimated fair value of our trademarks with the carrying value of the trademarks and did not identify any impairment.

Preparation of forecasts of revenue and profitability growth for use in the long-range plan and the discount rate require significant use of judgment. Changes to the discount rate and the forecasted profitability could affect the estimated fair value of one or more of the Company’s reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company did not identify any impairment of long-lived assets in 2013 or 2012. In relation to the sale of the Stratford facility in 2011, the Company identified and recorded an impairment with respect to the facility in the amount of $0.1 million based on their fair market value (Note 4).

Determining fair values based on discounted cash flows requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including forecasting of revenue and profitability growth for use in the long-range plan and estimating appropriate discount rates. Changes to the discount rate and the forecasted profitability could affect the estimated fair value of one or more of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and could result in an impairment charge in a future period.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs directly related to the issuance of debt are capitalized, included in other non-current assets and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt obligation. The net carrying value of debt issuance costs was approximately $4.1 million and $4.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenues are recognized, net of sales tax collected, at the time title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. Product return reserves are accrued at the time of sale based on the historical relationship between shipments and returns, and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.

Certain large distribution customers receive annual volume discounts, which are estimated at the time the sale is recorded based on the estimated annual sales.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs associated with sales are classified as a component of cost of sales.

Warranty Costs

Estimated expenses related to product warranties are accrued at the time products are sold to customers. Estimates are established using historical information as to the nature, frequency, and average costs of warranty claims. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

Self-Insurance

Certain exposures are self-insured up to pre-determined amounts, above which third-party insurance applies, for medical claims, workers’ compensation, vehicle insurance, product liability costs and general liability exposure. The accompanying balance sheets include reserves for the estimated costs associated with these self-insured risks, based on historic experience factors and management’s estimates for known and anticipated claims. A portion of medical insurance costs are offset by charging employees a premium equivalent to group insurance rates.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred and amounted to approximately $2.5 million, $2.1 million and $1.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, that provides for various forms of stock-based compensation to officers, directors, key employees and others who make significant contributions to the success of the Company. The Company recognizes stock based compensation expense on a straight line basis for shares vesting ratably under the plan and uses the graded-vesting method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for performance share awards based on the probability of the specific performance metrics being achieved over the requisite service period.

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The future benefit to be derived from its deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the assets. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that may be more likely than not to be realized.

To the extent the Company establishes a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets generated from operations, an expense will be recorded within the provision for income taxes. In periods subsequent to establishing a valuation allowance on net deferred assets from operations, if the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its net deferred tax assets in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense in the period such determination was made.

We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination, based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties are accrued, where applicable. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized.

2. Acquisitions

In December 2013, the Company consummated an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Svendborg Brakes A/S and S.B. Patent Holding ApS (together “Svendborg”) for cash consideration of €80.1 million ($110.2 million), less the cash remaining on the balance sheet at close of €5.4 million ($7.5 million). This transaction is referred to as the Svendborg Acquisition. Through the Svendborg Acquisition, the Company acquired the leading global manufacturer of premium quality caliper brakes. With the Svendborg Acquisition, in addition to a presence in Denmark, the Company acquired Denmark’s well-established sales network in 7 additional countries in Western Europe, China, South America, Australia and the United States as well as a manufacturing facility in China.

Altra financed the transaction through a combination of cash and additional borrowings under its Credit Agreement. Under the Purchase Agreement, the seller agreed to provide the Company with a limited set of representations and warranties, including with respect to outstanding and potential liabilities. Claims for a breach of a representation or warranty are secured by a limited escrow and warranty and indemnity insurance. Damages resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and there is no guarantee that the Company would actually be able to recover all or any portion of the sums payable in connection with such breach.

Under the Purchase Agreement, the seller agreed to provide the Company with an indemnification for certain tax liabilities related to transfer pricing (the “Transfer Pricing Claims”) identified as part of an ongoing tax audit in Denmark. As part of the Purchase Agreement, an escrow in the amount of approximately €8.5 million ($11.6 million) was established for the Transfer Pricing Claims. The Company estimated this liability to be $8.1 million and as a result has recorded a liability included in taxes payable and an escrow receivable in other current assets. The purchase price in the reconciliation below represents cash consideration less the estimated escrow receivable for which the Company expects to be indemnified.

The closing date of the Svendborg Acquisition was December 17, 2013, and as a result, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect Svendborg’s results of operations from the beginning of business on December 17, 2013 forward.

As of December 31, 2013, the allocation of the purchase price for the Svendborg Acquisition is preliminary. The fair value of all the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities summarized below is provisional pending finalization of the Company’s acquisition accounting. Measurement period adjustments reflect new

information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company believes that such preliminary allocations provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize fair value.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The Company expects to develop synergies, such as lower cost country sourcing, global procurement, the ability to cross-sell product, and the ability to penetrate certain geographic areas, as a result of the acquisition of Svendborg.

The amounts recorded as intangible assets consist of the following:


Customer relationships, subject to amortization	$	40,050
Trade names and trademarks, not subject to amortization		8,500
Patents		343

Total intangible assets	$	48,893

Customer relationships are subject to amortization which will be straight-lined over their estimated useful lives of 17 years, which represents the anticipated period over which the Company estimates it will benefit from the acquired assets.

In July 2012, the Company consummated an agreement to acquire 85% of privately held Lamiflex do Brasil Equipamentos Industrias Ltda. now known as Lamiflex Do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais S.A. This transaction is known as the Lamiflex Acquisition. The Company acquired 85% of the stock of Lamiflex for 17.4 million Reais ($8.6 million), which was subject to a reduction of 2.1 million Reais ($1.1 million) for estimated net debt at closing.

The closing date of the Lamiflex Acquisition was July 11, 2012, and as a result, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect Lamiflex’s results of operations from the beginning of business on July 11, 2012 forward.

The Company has completed the valuation of customer relationships, trademarks and deferred tax assets and liabilities and fixed assets and has recorded them as part of its balance sheet. The purchase price allocation

was calculated as if the Company had acquired 100% of Lamiflex. The purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date is as follows:


Total Assumed purchase price, excluding acquisition costs of approximately $0.4 million	$	8,820
Less: Redeemable noncontrolling interest		1,327

Other liabilities, including long-term debt		976

Total liabilities assumed	$	4,327
Net assets acquired		5,168

Excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired		3,652

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company expects to develop synergies, such as the ability to cross-sell product and to penetrate into certain geographic areas, as a result of the acquisition of Lamiflex.

The Company recorded a redeemable non-controlling interest from its acquisition of an 85% ownership interest of Lamiflex at fair value at the date of acquisition. In connection with the Lamiflex Acquisition, the Company entered into put and call option agreements with the minority shareholders for the potential purchase of the non-controlling interest at a future date at a value based on a contractually determined formula. As a result of the option agreements, the non-controlling interest is considered redeemable and is classified as temporary equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The estimated amounts recorded as intangible assets in connection with the Lamiflex Acquisition consist of the following:


Customer relationships, subject to amortization	$	4,552
Trade names and trademarks, not subject to amortization		360

Total intangible assets	$	4,912

Customer relationships are subject to amortization which will be straight-lined over their estimated useful lives of 13 years, which represents the anticipated period over which the Company estimates it will benefit from the acquired assets.

The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the year to date periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 as if the Company had acquired Lamiflex and Bauer at January 1, 2011, and Svendborg at January 1, 2012. The pro forma information contains the actual operating

results of the Company, including Bauer, Lamiflex, and Svendborg adjusted to include the pro forma impact of (i) additional depreciation expense as a result of estimated depreciation based on the fair value of fixed assets; (ii) additional expense as a result of the estimated amortization of identifiable intangible assets (iii) additional interest expense associated with the Convertible Notes issued on March 7, 2011 in connection with the Bauer Acquisition; (iv) elimination of certain acquisition related costs; (v) the elimination of additional expense as a result of fair value adjustment to inventory recorded in connection with the Lamiflex and Bauer Acquisitions; and (vi) additional interest expense for borrowings under the Credit Agreement associated with the Svendborg Acquisition. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period or that may be obtained in the future.

3. Inventories

Inventories are generally stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories located at certain subsidiaries acquired in connection with the TB Wood’s acquisition are stated at the lower of current cost or market, principally using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The cost of inventory includes direct materials, direct labor, and production overhead. Market is defined as net realizable value. Inventories at December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following:


	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Raw materials	$	56,824	$	39,902
Work in process		18,432		21,199
Finished goods		68,409		62,675

Inventories, net	$	143,665	$	123,776

Approximately 7.5% of total inventories at December 31, 2013, were valued using the LIFO method. The Company recorded as a component of cost of sales, a $0.7 million, and a $0.4 million provision in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. If the LIFO inventory was accounted for using the FIFO method, the inventory balance at December 31, 2013 and 2012, would be $1.6 million higher and $0.9 million higher, respectively.

4. Property, Plant and Equipment

In 2011, the Company sold its Stratford, Ontario, Canada facility for approximately $0.9 million. Cash was received for $0.3 million and a note receivable was established for $0.6 million, which has a term of 10 years and accrues interest at 6% annually. In 2013, the note receivable was paid in full.

In 2013, the Company sold its Mt. Pleasant, Michigan facility and received cash consideration of approximately $0.6 million. The cash consideration was equal to the net book value and therefore no impairment was recorded.

The Company recorded $21.4 million, $20.5 million and $18.4 million of depreciation expense in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Customer relationships, product technology and patents are amortized over their useful lives ranging from 8 to 17 years. The weighted average estimated useful life of intangible assets subject to amortization is approximately 11 years.

The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $8.8 million in 2014, $8.8 million in each of the next four years and then $31.8 million thereafter.

6. Warranty Costs

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries manufacture various products. The contractual warranty period generally ranges from three months to two years with certain warranties extending for longer periods based on the product and application of the product. Estimated expenses related to product warranties are accrued at the time products are sold to customers and are recorded in accruals and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Estimates are established using historical information as to the nature, frequency and average costs of warranty claims. Changes in the carrying amount of accrued product warranty costs for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 are as follows:


	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			December 31, 2011

A reconciliation from tax at the U.S. federal statutory rate to the Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes is as follows:


	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			December 31, 2011

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States, as well as consolidated and separate income tax returns in various states. The Company and its subsidiaries also file consolidated and separate income tax returns in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in all of these jurisdictions. With the exception of

certain foreign jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the tax years prior to 2010. Svendborg is currently subject to an audit in Denmark for the years 2007-2011. As set forth in Note 2 above, the seller agreed to provide the Company with an indemnification for certain tax liabilities related to transfer pricing (the “Transfer Pricing Claims”) identified as part of the audit in Denmark. As part of the Purchase Agreement, an escrow in the amount of approximately €8.5 million ($11.6 million) was established for the Transfer Pricing Claims. The Company estimated this liability to be $8.1 million and as a result has recorded a liability in taxes payable. Additionally, the Company has indemnification agreements with the sellers of the Colfax PTH, Kilian, Bauer, Svendborg, and Hay Hall entities that provide for reimbursement to the Company for payments made in satisfaction of tax liabilities relating to pre-acquisition periods.

A reconciliation of the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding accrued interest and penalties is as follows:


	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			December 31, 2011

In 2012, the Company recognized a $2.5 million tax benefit for the reduction of the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax positions due to a settlement with the State of New York for which the Company was fully indemnified.

In 2011, the Company recognized a tax benefit for the reduction of the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax positions due to a favorable New Jersey Supreme Court ruling in a case that did not involve the Company. The reserve consisted of approximately $2.3 million of tax, $1.8 million of accrued interest and $0.5 million of penalties. In addition, the Company reversed $1.4 million of deferred tax assets related to the federal benefit of the accrued state reserve. The net benefit to the Company was approximately $3.2 million

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company accrued interest and penalties of $0.1 million (off-set by a $0.1 million benefit of interest and penalties primarily related to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations), $0.2 million, and $0.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The total gross amount of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $0.4 million, $0.4 million, $2.7 million, respectively. Although it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits might occur within the next twelve months, at this time it is not possible to estimate the range of change due to the uncertainty of the potential outcomes.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:


	2013			2012
Deferred tax assets:
Post-retirement obligations	$	1,565		$	3,157
Tax credits		2,165			2,040
Expenses not currently deductible		11,788			11,598
Net operating loss carryover		6,376			6,435
Other		546			790

Total deferred tax assets		22,440			24,020
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets		(5,577	)		(5,426	)

Net deferred tax assets		16,863			18,594
Deferred tax liabilities:
Property, plant and equipment		20,065			19,892
Intangible assets		25,090			14,969
Basis difference - convertible debt		11,064			10,212
Goodwill		3,813			2,308

Total deferred liabilities		60,032			47,381

Net deferred tax liabilities	$	43,169		$	28,787

On December 31, 2013 the Company had state net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of $28.1 million, which expire between 2018 and 2032, and non U.S. NOL carryforwards of $22.7 million, of which substantially all have an unlimited carryforward period. The NOL carryforwards available are subject to limitations on their annual usage. The Company also has federal and state tax credits of $2.4 million available to reduce future income taxes that expire between 2014 and 2028.

Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets that management believes may not be realized. The Company continually reviews the adequacy of its valuation allowances and recognizes tax benefits only as reassessments indicate that it is more likely than not the benefits will be realized. Valuation allowances of $5.6 million and $5.4 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, have been established due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of certain net operating losses, tax credits, and other tax attributes. The valuation allowances are primarily related to certain non-U.S. NOL carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards, and U.S. federal foreign tax credits.

A provision has not been made for U.S. or additional non-U.S. taxes on $59.9 million of undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries that could be subject to taxation if remitted to the U.S. because the Company plans to keep these amounts permanently reinvested outside the U.S. except for instances where the Company has already been subject to tax in the U.S. It is not practicable to determine the amount of deferred income taxes not provided on these earnings.

8. Pension and Other Employee Benefits

Defined Benefit (Pension)

The Company sponsors various defined benefit (pension) plans for certain, primarily unionized, active employees (those in the employment of the Company at, and certain employees hired since, November 30, 2004).

The following tables represent the reconciliation of the benefit obligation, fair value of plan assets and funded status of the respective defined benefit (pension) plans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:


	Pension Benefits
	Year Ended December 31, 2013			Year Ended December 31, 2012
Change in benefit obligation:

Current liabilities		—			—
Non-current liabilities		(8,025	)		(14,529	)

Total	$	(8,025	)	$	(14,529	)

For all pension plans presented above, the accumulated and projected benefit obligations exceed the fair value of plan assets. The accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $32.2 million and $34.6 million, respectively. Non-U.S. pension liabilities recognized in the amounts presented above are $7.7 million and $7.6 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2013 and 2012, is $1.5 million (net of $0.8 million in taxes) and $2.1 million (net of $1.4 million in taxes), respectively, of unrecognized actuarial losses that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost.

The discount rate used in the computation of the respective benefit obligations at December 31, 2013 and 2012, presented above are as follows:


	2013			2012
Pension benefits		4.60	%		3.75	%

The following table represents the components of the net periodic benefit cost associated with the respective plans:


	Pension Benefits
	Year Ended December 31, 2013			Year Ended December 31, 2012			Year Ended December 31, 2011
Service cost	$	248		$	179		$	167
Interest cost		1,250			1,381			1,389
Recognized net actuarial loss		—			—			—
Expected return on plan assets		(1,080	)		(1,083	)		(1,050	)
Settlement/Curtailment/ Special Termination Benefit		—			—			—
Amortization		175			105			39

Net periodic benefit (income) cost	$	593		$	582		$	545

The key economic assumptions used in the computation of the respective net periodic benefit cost for the periods presented above are as follows:


	Pension Benefits
	Year Ended December 31, 2013			Year Ended December 31, 2012			Year Ended December 31, 2011
Discount rate		3.75	%		4.75	%		5.50	%
Expected return on plan assets		5.25	%		6.25	%		7.75	%
Compensation rate increase		N/A			N/A			N/A

The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is 5.25%. The assumption represents the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligation. The assumption reflects expectations regarding future rates of return for the investment portfolio, with consideration given to the distribution of investments by asset class and historical rates of return for each individual asset class.

Fair Value of Plan Assets

The fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 by asset category is as follows:


		2013		2012
Asset Category
Equity (Level 1)
U.S. companies	$	—	$	4,522
International companies		—		297

Total equity		—		4,819
Fixed income (Level 1)
U.S. government		2,787		820
Corporate bonds
Investment grade		17,091		8,738

Total fixed income		23,512		14,341
Other (Level 2)		338		328
Cash and cash equivalents (Level 1)		340		612

Total assets at fair value	$	24,190	$	20,100

The asset allocations for the Company’s funded retirement plan at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the target allocation for 2013, by asset category, are as follows:


	Allocation Percentage of Plan Assets at Year-End
	2013 Actual			2013 Target	2012 Actual
Asset Category
Global Developed Equity		0	%	0%		5	%
Investment Grade Bonds		84	%	20% - 100%		48	%
High Yield Bonds		15	%	0% - 25%		16	%
Cash		1	%	0% - 5%		3	%
Emerging Market Debt		0	%	0%		3	%
Dynamic Asset Allocation/Alternatives		0	%	0%		25	%

The investment strategy is to achieve a rate of return on the plan’s assets that meets the performance of liabilities as calculated using a bank’s Liability Index with appropriate adjustments for benefit payments, service cost and actuarial assumption changes. A determinant of the plan’s return is the asset allocation policy. The plan’s asset mix will be reviewed by the Company periodically, but at least quarterly, to rebalance within the target guidelines. The Company will also periodically review investment managers to determine if the respective manager has performed satisfactorily when compared to the defined objectives, similarly invested portfolios, and specific market indices.

Expected cash flows

The following table provides the amounts of expected benefit payments, which are made from the plans’ assets and includes the participants’ share of the costs, which is funded by participant contributions. The amounts

in the table are actuarially determined and reflect the Company’s best estimate given its current knowledge; actual amounts could be materially different.


	Pension Benefits
Expected benefit payments (from plan assets)
2014		1,153
2015		1,309
2016		1,370
2017		1,399
2018		1,464
Thereafter		7,895

The Company contributed $5.0 million to its U.S. pension plan in 2013. The Company has no minimum cash funding requirements associated with its pension plans for years 2014 and 2015, and $0.3 million for years 2016 through 2018.

Post Retirement Benefit Plans

Certain, primarily unionized, employees are entities to limited grandfathered postretirement benefits (medical, dental, and life insurance coverage). The accumulated benefit obligation for the post-retirement benefit plans, which are not funded, at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are $0.2 million and $0.2 million respectively. The balances are included within other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded less than $0.1 million of income for of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Defined Contribution Plans

Under the terms of the Company’s defined contribution plans, eligible employees may contribute up to seventy-five percent of their compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis, subject to annual IRS limitations. The Company makes matching contributions equal to half of the first six percent of salary contributed by each employee and made a unilateral contribution (including for non-contributing employees). The Company’s expense associated with the defined contribution plans was $3.7 million and $3.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Credit Agreement

In December 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s Former Credit Agreement, dated November 20, 2012. Pursuant to the Former Credit Agreement, the former lenders made available to the Company an initial term loan facility of $100,000,000 and an initial revolving credit facility of $200,000,000.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders made an additional term loan of €50,000,000 (the “Additional Term Loan”) to Altra Industrial Motion Netherlands B.V. The Credit Agreement keeps in effect the balance (approximately $94,375,000) of the existing term loan facility (the “Initial Term Loan”) made to the domestic borrowers under the Former Credit Agreement (collectively, the two term loans are referred to as the “Term Loan Facility”), as well as the revolving credit facility of $200,000,000 made under the Former Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement continues, even after the making of the Additional Term Loan, to provide for a possible expansion of the credit facilities by an additional $150,000,000, which can be allocated as additional term loans and/or additional revolving credit loans. The amounts available under the Term Loan Facility were used, and amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility can be used, for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and to repay existing indebtedness. The stated maturity of these credit facilities is December 6, 2018, and there are scheduled quarterly principal payments due on the outstanding amount of the Term Loan Facility. With respect to the Initial Term Loan, the scheduled quarterly principal payments due on the outstanding amount have been reamortized in accordance with the new December 6, 2018 maturity date. The previous maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Initial Term Loan was November 20, 2017.

Facility may also be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $41.2 million and $79.3 million outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $9.8 and $7.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We had $149.0 million and $113.1 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Company and certain Subsidiaries to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, limit maximum annual capital expenditures, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

Former Credit Agreement

In November 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Former Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions (collectively, the “Lenders”), to be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”). Pursuant to the Former Credit Agreement, the Lenders made available to the Company an initial term loan facility of $100,000,000 and an initial “Revolving Credit Facility” of $200,000,000.

Interest on the amounts outstanding under the credit facilities is calculated using either an ABR Rate or Eurodollar rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurodollar Loans are between 1.375% to 1.875%, and for ABR Loans are between 0.375% and 0.875%. The Credit Agreement provides for a possible expansion of the facilities by an aggregate additional $150,000,000, which can be allocated as additional term loans and/or additional revolving credit loans. The amounts available under the Former Credit Agreement were to be available for general corporate purposes and to repay indebtedness. Under the Former Credit Agreement, the stated maturity of both of these credit facilities was November 20, 2017. A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies.

The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility and a portion of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility, along with cash on hand, were used by the Company to contribute all funds necessary to redeem all of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes in December 2012 (the “Redemption”). As of December 31, 2012, we had $79.3 million outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility, $7.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, and $113.1 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Former Credit Agreement contained various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which are largely identical to those of the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance in all material respects with all material covenants of the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2012.

Pledge and Security Agreement; Trademark Security Agreement; Patent Security Agreement.

Pursuant to an Omnibus Reaffirmation and Ratification of Collateral Documents entered into on December 6, 2013 in connection with the Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent (the “Ratification Agreement”), the Loan Parties (exclusive of the foreign subsidiary Borrower) have reaffirmed their obligations to the Lenders under the Pledge and Security Agreement The Credit Agreement provides that the obligation to grant the security interest can cease upon the obtaining of certain corporate family credit ratings for the Company, but the obligation to grant a security interest is subject to subsequent reinstatement if the ratings are not maintained as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the Former Credit Agreement, on November 20, 2012, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which each Loan Party pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property, whether now owned by or owing to, or after acquired by or arising in favor of such Loan Party (including under any trade name or derivations), and whether owned or consigned by or to, or leased from or to, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, except for specific excluded personal property identified in the Pledge and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include, among other items, more than 65% of the capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The Pledge and Security Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The Credit Agreement provides that the obligation to grant the security interest can cease upon the obtaining of certain corporate family ratings for the Company, but the obligation to grant a security interest is subject to subsequent reinstatement if the ratings are not maintained as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Convertible Senior Notes

The Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2031, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased by the Company or converted, and are convertible into cash or shares, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, of 36.0985 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $27.70 per share of our common stock), in certain circumstances. The conversion price at December 31, 2013 is $27.09 per share. Prior to March 1, 2030, the Convertible Notes are convertible only in the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after June 30, 2011 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day in the measurement period was less than 97% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) if the Convertible Notes have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. On or after March 1, 2030, and ending at the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Company intends to settle the principal amount in cash and any additional amounts in shares of stock.

If a fundamental change occurs, the Convertible Notes are redeemable at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest and additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The Convertible Notes are also redeemable on each of March 1, 2018, March 1, 2021, and March 1, 2026 for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal

amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest and additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the option repurchase date.

On or after March 1, 2015, the Company may call all or part of the Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole premium” payment in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or combination thereof, at the Company’s option, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Convertible Notes to be redeemed through March 1, 2018 to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date the Company provides notice of redemption exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. On or after March 1, 2018, the Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principle amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent and additional interest, if any) to, but not including, the redemption date.

The Company separately accounted for the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes to reflect the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate, which interest costs are to be recognized in subsequent periods. The note payable principal balance at the date of issuance of $85.0 million was bifurcated into a debt component of $60.5 million and an equity component of $24.5 million. The difference between the note payable principal balance and the value of the debt component is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the notes. The debt component was recognized at the present value of associated cash flows discounted using a 8.25% discount rate, the borrowing rate at the date of issuance for a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature. The Company paid approximately $3.7 million of issuance costs associated with the Convertible Notes. The Company recorded $1.0 million of debt issuance costs as an offset to additional paid-in capital. The balance of $2.7 million of debt issuance costs is classified as other non-current assets and will be amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

The carrying amount of the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount, and the net carrying amount are as follows as of December 31, 2013:


	December 31, 2013
Principal amount of debt	$	85,000
Unamortized discount		16,163

Carrying value of debt	$	68,837

Interest expense associated with the Convertible Notes consisted of the following for the year ended December 31, 2013:


	December 31, 2012
Contractual coupon rate of interest	$	2,338
Accretion of Convertible Notes discount and amortization of deferred financing costs		3,494

Interest expense for the Convertible Notes	$	5,832

The effective interest yield of the Convertible Notes due in 2031 is 8.5% at December 31, 2013 and the cash coupon interest rate is 2.75%.

Senior Secured Notes

In November 2009, the Company issued 8 1/8% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) with a face value of $210 million. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes was payable semi-annually in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2010 at an annual rate of 8 1/8%. The effective

interest rate of the Senior Secured Notes was approximately 8.75% after consideration of the $6.7 million of deferred financing costs (included in other non-current assets which are being amortized over the term using the effective interest method). The principal balance of the Senior Secured Notes was scheduled to mature on December 1, 2016.

The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries and were secured by a second priority lien, subject to first priority liens securing the Old Revolving Credit Agreement, on substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of its domestic subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contained covenants which restricted the Company and its subsidiaries. These restrictions limited or prohibited, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturities; pay cash dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies; sell stock in our subsidiaries; and create liens on their assets. There are no financial covenants associated with the Senior Secured Notes.

During 2011, the Company repurchased $12.0 million of Senior Secured Notes. The Company repurchased the Senior Secured Notes at a premium of $0.3 million, which was recorded as part of interest expense in 2011. Due to the repurchase of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company also wrote-off a proportional amount of the deferred financing fees and original issue discount associated with the Senior Secured Notes totaling $0.4 million which was also recorded as part of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income for 2011.

During 2012, the Company retired the remaining principal balance of the 8 1/8% Senior Secured Notes, of $198.0 million. In connection with the redemption, the Company incurred $11.4 million of pre-payment premiums and wrote-off the entire remaining balance of $4.4 million of deferred financing fees and original issue discount, which is recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for 2012. The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility and a portion of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility, along with cash on hand, were used by the Company to contribute all funds necessary to redeem all of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes.

Equipment and Working Capital Notes

The Company entered into a loan with a bank to equip its new facility in Changzhou, China during 2013. The Company is allowed to borrow up to 90% of the amount of certain outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company’s U.S. bank in favor of the lending bank in China. As of December 31, 2013, the total available to borrow was 38.5 million RMB ($6.3 million). The note is due in installments from 2014 through 2016, with interest varying between 5.04% and 6.69%. The Company has a 25.4 million RMB ($4.1 million) line of credit outstanding at December 31, 2013. The note is callable by the bank at its discretion and as such, has been included in the current portion of long-term debt in the balance sheet at December 31, 2013.

Mortgage

The Company has a mortgage with a bank on its facility in Heidelberg, Germany with an interest rate of 5.75% and is payable in monthly installments over the next three years. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the mortgage had a remaining principal balance of €0.5 million or $0.7 million, and €0.7 million or $1.0 million, respectively.

Capital Leases

The Company leases certain equipment under capital lease arrangements, whose obligations are included in both short-term and long-term debt. Capital lease obligations amounted to approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Assets subject to capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment with the related amortization recorded as depreciation expense.

Overdraft Agreements

Certain of our foreign subsidiaries maintain overdraft agreements with financial institutions. There were no borrowings as of December 31, 2013, 2012, or 2011 under any of the overdraft agreements.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock (amounts not in thousands)

As of December 31, 2013, there were 90,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 26,819,795 outstanding.

Preferred Stock

On December 20, 2006, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation authorizing 10,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, the shares of each class or series to have such designations and powers, preferences, and rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. There was no Preferred Stock issued or outstanding at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Restricted Common Stock

The Company’s Board of Directors established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”) that provides for various forms of stock-based compensation to independent directors, officers and senior-level employees of the Company. The restricted shares issued pursuant to the Plan generally vest ratably over a period ranging from immediately to five years from the date of grant, provided, that the vesting of the restricted shares may accelerate upon the occurrence of certain liquidity events, if approved by the Board of Directors in connection with the transactions. Common stock awarded under the Plan is generally subject to restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, and other limitations and rights as set forth in the applicable award agreements. The shares are valued based on the share price on the date of grant.

The Plan permits the Company to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance share awards to key employees and other persons who make significant contributions to the success of the Company. The restrictions and vesting schedule for restricted stock granted under the Plan are determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Compensation expense recorded (in selling, general and administrative expense) during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $3.2 million ($2.9 million, net of tax), $2.7 million ($1.8 million, net of tax), and $2.5 million ($1.7 million, net of tax), respectively. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for the shares vesting ratably under the plan and uses the graded-vesting method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for the performance share awards based on the probability of the specific performance metrics being achieved over the requisite service period.

The following table sets forth the activity of the Company’s restricted stock grants to date:


Amounts not in thousands	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Restricted shares unvested January 1, 2013		162,586		$	18.67
Shares granted		128,365		$	24.58
Shares for which restrictions lapsed		(141,316	)	$	21.55

Restricted shares unvested December 31, 2013		149,635		$	23.02

Total remaining unrecognized compensation cost is approximately $3.0 million as of December 31, 2013, and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of two years. Based on the stock price at December 31, 2013, of $34.22 per share, the intrinsic value of these awards as of December 31, 2013, was $5.1 million. The fair market value of the shares in which the restrictions have lapsed was $2.4 million, $3.2 million, and $3.3 million, during 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Restricted shares granted are valued based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

Dividends

The Company declared quarterly dividends of $0.38 per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2013. On October 29, 2013, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, payable on January 3, 2014 to shareholders of record as of December 18, 2013. The dividend of $2.7 million, paid on January 3, 2014, was accrued for in the balance sheet at December 31, 2013.

11. Concentrations of Credit, Segment Data and Workforce

Financial instruments, which are potentially subject to counter party performance and concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company manages these risks by conducting credit evaluations of customers prior to delivery or commencement of services. When the Company enters into a sales contract, collateral is normally not required from the customer. Payments are typically due within thirty days of billing. An allowance for potential credit losses is maintained, and losses have historically been within management’s expectations. No customer represented greater than 10% of total sales for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

The Company is also subject to counter party performance risk of loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, such as cash and investments. Cash and investments are held by well-established financial institutions and invested in AAA rated mutual funds or United States Government Securities. The Company is exposed to swap counterparty credit risk with financial institutions. The Company’s counterparty is a well-established financial institution.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company completed its review of its operating segments. The Company has three operating segments that are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker. Each of these operating segments represents a unit that produces mechanical power transmission products. The Company aggregates all of the operating segments into one reportable segment. The three operating segments are expected to have similar long-term average gross profit margins. All of our products are sold by one global sales force and we have one global marketing function. Strategic markets and industries are determined for the entire company and then targeted by the brands. All of our operating segments have common manufacturing and production processes. Each operating segment includes a machine shop which uses similar equipment and manufacturing techniques. Each of our operating segments uses common raw materials, such as aluminum, steel and copper. The materials are purchased and procurement contracts are negotiated by one global purchasing function.

We serve the general industrial market by selling to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and distributors. Our OEM and distributor customers serve the general industrial market. Resource allocation decisions such as capital expenditure requirements and headcount requirements are made at a consolidated level and allocated to the individual operating segments.

The following discussion of the Company’s products does not include detailed product category revenue because such information is not individually tracked by the Company’s financial reporting system and is not separately reported by the Company’s general purpose financial statements. Conducting a detailed product revenue internal assessment and audit would involve unreasonable effort and expense as revenue information by

product line is not available. The Company maintains sales information by operating facility, but does not maintain any accounting sales data by product line.


	Net Sales						Property, Plant and Equipment
	Year Ended
	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011		December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
North America	$	454,115	$	469,554	$	442,931	$	87,573	$	88,051
Europe		216,636		216,485		191,768		54,533		35,319
Asia and the rest of the world		51,467		45,951		40,113		15,429		14,724

Total	$	722,218	$	731,990	$	674,812	$	157,535	$	138,094

Net sales to third parties are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country in which the shipment originates. Amounts attributed to the geographic regions for property, plant and equipment are based on the location of the entity, which holds such assets. The net assets of our foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $138.7 million and $117.0 million, respectively.

Approximately 23% of the Company’s labor force (10% and 57% in the United States and Europe, respectively) is represented by collective bargaining agreements. The Company is a party to four U.S. collective bargaining agreements. The agreements will expire July 2014, October 2014, June 2014, and October 2016, respectively. The Company intends to renegotiate these contracts as they become due, though there is no assurance that this effort will be successful.

12. Restructuring, Asset Impairment, and Transition Expenses

In the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company adopted a restructuring plan (“2012 Altra Plan”) as a result of continued sluggish demand in Europe and general global economic conditions. The actions included in the 2012 Altra Plan include reducing headcount and limiting discretionary spending to improve profitability in Europe. The Company recorded $1.1 million and $3.2 million in restructuring charges associated with the 2012 Altra Plan in 2013 and 2012. The costs were primarily severance charges due in connection with the reduction of the workforce at our European locations.

The Company’s total restructuring expense, by major component for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, were as follows:

There was no restructuring expense for the year ended December 31, 2011.


	Year Ended December 31, 2013			Year Ended December 31, 2012
	2012 Altra Plan			2012 Altra Plan

The total restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2013 relates to severance costs to be paid to employees and is recorded in accruals and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not expect to incur any more restructuring expenses in 2014 under the 2012 Altra Plan.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swap

In April 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement designed to fix the variable interest rate payable on a portion of its outstanding borrowings, currently $92.5 million, under the Credit Agreement, at 0.626% exclusive of the margin under the Former Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap agreement and its terms are also applicable to the variable interest rate borrowings under the current Credit Agreement.

The interest rate swap agreement was designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreement, which is forward-dated, as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the swap are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swap will be reported by the Company in interest expense. There was no ineffectiveness associated with the swap during the year ended December 31, 2013, nor was any amount excluded from ineffectiveness testing for these periods.

The fair value of the swap recognized in other non-current assets and in other comprehensive income (loss) is as follows (in thousands):


								Fair Value
Effective Date	Notional Amount		Fixed Rate			Maturity		December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
April, 30, 2013	$	92,500		0.626	%		November 30, 2016	$	213	$	—

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Minimum Lease Obligations

The Company leases certain offices, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, automobiles and equipment with various terms that range from a month to month basis to ten year terms and which, generally, include renewal provisions. Future minimum rent obligations under non-cancelable operating and capital leases are as follows:


Year ending December 31:	Operating Leases		Capital Leases
2014	$	7,618	$	147
2015		6,225		28
2016		4,847		8
2017		2,594		6
2018		1,892		—
Thereafter		6,970		—

Total lease obligations	$	30,146	$	189
Less amounts representing interest				(8	)

Present value of minimum capital lease obligations			$	181

Net rent expense under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was approximately $8.8 million, $7.8 million, $6.9 million, respectively.

The Company also has minimum purchase contracts for inventory of €3.6 million ($4.9 million) for years 2014 and 2015.

General Litigation

The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. These proceedings primarily involve commercial claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims, and workers’ compensation claims. With respect to these proceedings, management believes that the Company will prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates. We will continue to consider the applicable guidance in ASC 450-20, based on the facts known at the time of our future filings, as it relates to legal contingencies, and will adjust our disclosures as may be required under the guidance.

The Company also risks exposure to product liability claims in connection with products it has sold and those sold by businesses that the Company acquired. Although in some cases third parties have retained responsibility for product liability claims relating to products manufactured or sold prior to the acquisition of the relevant business and in other cases the persons from whom the Company has acquired a business may be

required to indemnify the Company for certain product liability claims subject to certain caps or limitations on indemnification, the Company cannot assure that those third parties will in fact satisfy their obligations with respect to liabilities retained by them or their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to or otherwise do not comply with their respective obligations including indemnity obligations, or if certain product liability claims for which the Company is obligated were not retained by third parties or are not subject to these indemnities, the Company could become subject to significant liabilities or other adverse consequences. Moreover, even in cases where third parties retain responsibility for product liability claims or are required to indemnify the Company, significant claims arising from products that have been acquired could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to realize the benefits from an acquisition, could result in the reduction of the value of goodwill that the Company recorded in connection with an acquisition, or could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operations.

Environmental

There is contamination at some of the Company’s current facilities, primarily related to historical operations at those sites, for which the Company could be liable for the investigation and remediation under certain environmental laws. The potential for contamination also exists at other of the Company current or former sites, based on historical uses of those sites. The Company currently is not undertaking any remediation or investigations and the costs or liability in connection with potential contamination conditions at these facilities cannot be predicted at this time because the potential existence of contamination has not been investigated or not enough is known about the environmental conditions or likely remedial requirements. Currently, other parties with contractual liability are addressing or have plans or obligations to address those contamination conditions that may pose a material risk to human health, safety or the environment. In addition, while the Company attempts to evaluate the risk of liability associated with these facilities at the time the Company acquired them, there may be environmental conditions currently unknown to the Company relating to prior, existing or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities the Company may have assumed or acquired which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company is being indemnified, or expects to be indemnified by third parties subject to certain caps or limitations on the indemnification, for certain environmental costs and liabilities associated with certain owned or operated sites. Accordingly, based on the indemnification and the experience with similar sites of the environmental consultants who the Company has hired, the Company does not expect such costs and liabilities to have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or earnings. The Company cannot assure you, however, that those third parties will in fact satisfy their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to, or otherwise do not, comply with their respective indemnity obligations, or if certain contamination or other liability for which the Company is obligated is not subject to these indemnities, the Company could become subject to significant liabilities.

From time to time, the Company is notified that it is a potentially responsible party and may have liability in connection with off-site disposal facilities. To date, the Company has generally resolved matters involving off-site disposal facilities for a nominal sum but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to resolve pending or future matters in a similar fashion.

Other Matters

The state of New York Workers’ Compensation Board (the “Compensation Board”) has demanded payment from one of the Company’s business units of certain amounts the Board alleges are owed in connection with that business unit’s past participation in a workers’ compensation insurance trust. The Company has executed Settlement Agreements with the Compensation Board to resolve the matter pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay an aggregate amount of $0.09 in exchange for full and final releases from the Compensation Board. The Company expects to receive, but has not yet received, the final releases from the Compensation Board to formally conclude the matter. If for some reason the settlement is not completed as expected the amount claimed would currently be immaterial and would be subject to further adjustment and proceedings. As a result, absent the settlement, the total amount of potential liability could not have been reasonably estimated as of December 31, 2013.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures

1. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2013, or the Evaluation Date, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management,

including the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

2. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Note Regarding Acquisition

In making its assessment of disclosure controls and procedures and of changes in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, management has excluded the operations of various legal entities which make up the Svendborg Acquisition (consolidated by the Company as of December 31, 2013). The Company is currently assessing the control environment of this acquired business.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect Svendborg’s results of operations from the beginning of business on December 17, 2013 forward. The acquired businesses’ total revenue were less than .5% of the Company’s total revenue and 17% of the Company’s total assets at December 31, 2013.

(a) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of assets;

•

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

•

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(b) Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Altra Industrial Motion Corp.

Braintree, Massachusetts

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Altra Industrial Motion Corp., formerly Altra Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Framework (1992)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Svendborg A/S, which was acquired on December 17, 2013 and whose financial statements constitute 17% of total assets, and less than .5% of revenues of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Svendborg A/S. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 of the Company and our report dated February 26, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.
