Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
(Unaudited)
Note 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and the financial position at March 31, 2001. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and do not contain information included in the company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2000. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company's latest annual report.
All dollar amounts are in thousands throughout these notes, except where otherwise indicated.
Note 2. The components of inventories at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are summarized as follows:
March 31, 2001 | December 31, 2000 | ||
Components: | |||
Raw materials | $ 34,881 | $ 33,935 | |
Work-in-process | 38,316 | 32,914 | |
Finished goods | 50,487 | 45,880 | |
Total inventories at FIFO costs | 123,684 |
| 112,729 |
Excess of FIFO costs over | |||
LIFO value | (21,866) | (21,551) | |
Total inventories | $ 101,818 | $ 91,178 |
Inventories are carried at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for 50% and 57% of total inventories at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The remainder of the inventories are costed using the lower of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
Note 3. The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has identified the company as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), liable for the costs associated with investigating and cleaning up contamination at the Lemberger Landfill Superfund Site (the "Site") near Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Approximately 150 PRP's have been identified as having shipped substances to the Site. Eleven of the potentially responsible parties have formed a group (the Lemberger Site Remediation Group, or LSRG) and have successfully negotiated with the EPA and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to settle the potential liability at the Site and fund the cleanup.
Recent estimates indicate that the remaining costs to clean up the Site are nominal. However, the ultimate allocations of cost for the Site are not yet final. Although liability is joint and several, the company's percentage share of liability is estimated to be 11% of the total cleanup costs. Prior to December 31, 1996, the company accrued $3.3 million in connection with this matter. Expenses charged against this reserve for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were not significant. Remediation work at the Site has been completed, with only long-term pumping and treating of ground water and Site maintenance remaining. The remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in other current and noncurrent liabilities at March 31, 2001, is $0.9 million.
As of March 31, 2001, various product-related lawsuits were pending. All of these cases are insured with self-insurance retentions of $1.0 million for Crane accidents; $1.0 million for Foodservice accidents occurring during 1990 to 1996; and $0.1 million for Foodservice accidents occurring during 1997 to 2001. The insurer's contribution is limited to $50.0 million.
Product liability reserves included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at March 31, 2001 were $8.5 million; $2.7 million is reserved specifically for the cases referenced above and $5.8 million is reserved specifically for claims incurred but not reported which were estimated using actuarial methods. The highest current reserve for an insured claim is $0.9 million. Based on the company's experience in defending itself against product liability claims, management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated settlements on aggregate self-insured and insured claims. Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and the solvency of insurance carriers.
It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental remediation and product liability costs may change in the near future based upon new information that may arise. Presently, there is no reliable means to estimate the amount of any such potential changes.
The company is also involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. After taking into consideration legal counsel's evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of management, ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the company.
Note 4. The company currently has the board of directors' authorization to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of common stock at management's discretion. As of March 31, 2001, the company had purchased approximately 1.9 million shares at a cost of $49.8 million pursuant to this authorization. There were no common stock repurchases made during the first quarter of 2001.
In February 2001, the board of directors adopted a resolution to pay cash dividends annually rather than quarterly. Thus, in October 2001, and at its regular fall meeting each year thereafter, the board of directors will determine the amount and timing of the annual dividend for that year.
Note 5. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share.

Note 6. On May 9, 2000, The Manitowoc Company, Inc. ("Manitowoc") acquired from Legris Industries SA ("Legris") all of the outstanding capital stock of Potain SA, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement, dated May 9, 2001, among Manitowoc, Manitowoc France SAS and Legris (the "Acquisition"). The total purchase price for the Acquisition was FRF 2.3 billion (U.S. $307.1 million, based upon exchange rates as of May 7, 2001). The purchase price paid by Manitowoc was determined on the basis of arm's length negotiations between the parties. There is no material relationship between Legris and Manitowoc or any of its affiliates, directors or officers or any of their associates.
This acquisition was financed through the company's $475 million credit facility and the issuance of the company's 10-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 in the aggregate principal amount of (euro) 175 million (U.S. $156 million, based upon exchange rates as of May 7, 2001). See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a summary of the terms of the credit facility and the 10-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011, both of which were completed on May 9, 2001.
Founded in 1928, Potain is considered a technology leader in the tower crane market with a long history of product innovations and patents. The company manufactures a variety of tower cranes, including top slewing, luffing jib, topless, and self-erecting units, plus special models for dams and other large building projects. The company employs approximately 2,200 people and has sold more than 88,000 cranes worldwide. Potain operates eight manufacturing facilities for tower cranes and related products in France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and China, and is active in more than 50 countries through distribution subsidiaries or agents.
On April 24, 2001, the assets of Kern Electric were acquired by the Manitowoc Marine Group. The final acquisition price was $0.4 million. Kern Electric, located in Toledo, Ohio, will be managed and operated from the company's Toledo Shiprepair location and will be recognized as the "Manitowoc Electrical Service Division" within the Marine Group. Kern adds electrical capabilities for both the company's marine and industrial operations, provides an expanded customer base, fills a service void, and will allow us additional opportunities for turnkey, automation, and capital projects.
Note 7. The company determines its segments based upon the internal organization that is used by management to make operating decisions and assess performance. Based upon this approach, the company has three reportable segments: Foodservice Equipment (Foodservice), Cranes and Related Products (Cranes), and Marine Operations (Marine).
Information about reportable segments and a reconciliation of total segment sales and profits to the consolidated totals for the quarters ending March 31, 2001 and 2000 are summarized in Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the total assets by segment were as follows:
March 31, 2001 | December 31, 2000 | ||||
Foodservice | $ 372,115 | $ 359,196 | |||
Cranes | 156,868 | 171,867 | |||
Marine | 77,277 | 75,757 | |||
General corporate | 35,522 | 35,710 | |||
Total | $ 641,782 | $ 642,530 |
Note 8. As of January 1, 2001 the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires all derivative instruments to be recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated and qualifies as part of a hedge transaction and if so, the type of hedge transaction.
The company enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate debt. As of March 31, 2001 the company had outstanding one interest rate swap agreement with a financial institution, having a total notional principal amount of $12.5 million and expiring October 2002. The interest rate swap is designated as cash flow hedge instrument based upon the criteria established by SFAS No. 133. For a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss due to a change in fair value is initially recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged exposure affects earnings. During the period ended March 31, 2001, the cash flow hedge was deemed to be fully effective.
The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001 was insignificant. The impact of SFAS No. 133 during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 resulted in a net loss, recognized in comprehensive income, of approximately $0.2 million.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
Net sales and earnings from operations by business segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are shown below (in thousands):

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) - NET | (4,211) | (2,882) | |||
EARNINGS BEFORE TAXES ON INCOME | $ 15,818 | $ 23,861 |
Net sales increased 11.4% to $229.4 million in the first quarter of 2001, from $205.9 million for the same period in 2000. Net earnings for the quarter were $9.9 million, or $.40 per diluted share, compared with $14.9 million, or $.57 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2000. Weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2001 and the prior-year quarter were 24.5 million and 26.0 million, respectively.
Foodservice equipment sales were $101.2 million for the first quarter of 2001, up 9% from the first quarter of 2000. Operating earnings for Foodservice were $9.5 million for the quarter, a 22% drop from the $12.2 million earned during the same period last year. The increase in sales was the result of acquisitions made during 2000. Without the acquisitions, sales and operating earnings would have declined by 22% and 24%, respectively, compared to the same period last year. Capital spending constraints in the beverage equipment industry continue to lower volumes in this business. These volume decreases, along with product mix issues and slower ice-machine sales, contributed to the decline in Foodservice margins.
First quarter sales for the Crane segment were $84.3 million, compared to $100.8 million for 2000, a decline of 16%. Crane segment operating earnings dropped 34% to $11.4 million from $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2000. Sales of our boom trucks continued to be weak due to greater economic pressures on smaller contractors, reflecting the reduced order patterns for light-duty construction equipment that we have seen in the past two quarters. In addition, our Crane segment was impacted with pricing pressures due to the strong U.S. dollar and greater competitiveness with the global market. These factors negatively impacted our crane margins.
We believe prospects for our Crane segment remain solid. Quoting activity for our higher-capacity lift cranes continued to climb, driven by demand in the energy-related markets. This is evidenced by the very positive response we received at BAUMA 2001, the international construction equipment trade fair in Germany. We introduced five major new crane products - a number unprecedented in the lattice-boom crane industry and a testament to our technological and manufacturing capabilities. Including sales made at BAUMA, our overall Crane segment backlog stood at $85 million as of April 13, 2001.
Marine segment sales and operating earnings for the first quarter were $43.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, compared with $12.2 million and $2.4 million for the same period in 2000. Our acquisition of Marinette Marine in the fourth quarter of 2000 accounted for the majority of the sales and earnings increase. However, our organic sales and earnings growth rates were 22% and 13%, respectively. The marine segment has just completed another active winter repair season. This season included more than 20 dry dockings at our Sturgeon Bay and Toledo facilities, and work continued steadily on the hopper dredgeLiberty Island. In addition, quoting activity remained high at our Sturgeon Bay, Toledo, and Cleveland operations, as well as at Marinette Marine.
Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $4.1 million, compared to $2.5 million for the same period last year. This increase in interest expense is due to the additional debt incurred to fund acquisitions and to repurchase shares of Manitowoc stock during 2000.
Our effective tax rate was approximately 38% for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.
Financial Condition at March 31, 2001
Cash flow from operations was positive in the first quarter, totaling $11.1 million, compared with cash from operations of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2000. This increase was primarily the result of changes in working capital amounts and decreased net income. Total funded debt was $209.3 million at the end of the first quarter 2001, representing a debt-to-capital ratio of 46% at March 31, 2001, as compared to 48% at December 31, 2000.
On May 9, 2001, the company entered into a $475 million senior credit facility consisting of a $175.0 million five-year term loan; a $175.0 million six-year term loan; and a $125.0 million five-year revolving credit facility.
The senior credit agreement includes covenants, which include the maintenance of various debt and net worth ratios, customary representations and warranties, customary events of default, including a change of control, and other customary covenants, including covenants that limit the company's and its subsidiaries' ability to prepay principal, redeem or repurchase the notes or make amendments to the indenture governing the notes; incur additional debt; merge with other entities or make acquisitions; pay dividends or make distributions; make investments or advances; create or become subject to liens; and make capital expenditures.
Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of the base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable percentage. For all credit facilities the percentage is based on the company's consolidated leverage ratio, as defined by the agreement. The company will also pay agency fees and commitment fees on the unused portion of the credit facility as defined by the agreement.
Also, on May 9, 2001, the company issued, in a private placement, (euro) 175 million (U.S. $156 million) of 10-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes ("Notes") due May 2011. The net proceeds of the offering will also be used to finance a portion of the purchase price of Potain SA. The Notes will be unsecured obligations of the company, ranking subordinate in right of payment to all senior debt of the company. The Notes include covenants similar to the senior credit agreement described above. The Notes also contain certain other covenants including restrictions on the repurchase of capital stock and Asset Sales, as defined.
The Notes are being sold to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and to persons outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirement of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
The proceeds from senior credit facility and the issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes will be used to finance the acquisition of Potain, retire the existing revolving credit facility and substantially all other outstanding debt, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations. Reference is made in particular to the description of the company's plans and objectives for future operations, assumptions underlying such plans and objectives and other forward-looking statements in this report. Such forward-looking statements generally are identifiable by words such as "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "expects" and similar expressions.
These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and must be qualified by factors that could cause results to be materially different from what is presented here.
