Basis of Financial Statement Presentation | Basis of Financial Statement Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Alamo Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. | |
Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported financial statements to conform to the current presentation. The accompanying statement of income reflects the correction of a misclassification of freight revenue for the periods. Freight allowance given to customers was previously recorded as a reduction of cost of sales and has been reclassified to increase net sales and cost of sales in accordance with ASC 605-45-45-20. The reclassification of net sales and cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 resulted in an increase of approximately $1,359,000 with no impact on reported net income. | |
The SEC adopted the conflict mineral rules under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on August 22, 2012. The rules require public companies to disclose information about their use of specific minerals originating from and financing armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries. The conflict mineral rules cover minerals frequently used to manufacture a wide array of electronic and industrial products including semiconductor devices. The rules do not ban the use of minerals from conflict sources, but require SEC filings and public disclosure covering each calendar year, though the public disclosure provision is being challenged in court. We have determined that we are subject to the rules and are evaluating our supply chain. We have previously filed all required reporting for calendar 2013, and are currently in the process of updating our supplier inquiries in order to meet the 2014 reporting requirement, which is due by May 31, 2015. | |
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposal of Components of an Entity,” which raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations by focusing on whether a disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an company’s operations and financial results. The guidance allows companies to have significant continuing involvement and continuing cash flows with the disposed component. The guidance was effective on January 1, 2015 and has been adopted. The Company does not believe that this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in the ASU must be applied using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method and are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. We are evaluating the effects, if any, that adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. | |
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," effective for annual periods and interim periods within those periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. We are evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2014-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements. | |
In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items” (“ASU 2015-01”). ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP but retains the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently and expands the guidance to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. ASU 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply ASU 2015-01 prospectively. A reporting entity may also apply ASU 2015-01 retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. | |
In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We believe the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. | |
In April 2015, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. These provisions are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 will not materially affect our financial position or results of our operations; however our debt issuance costs will be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction of longterm debt and capital lease obligations, net of current maturities. |

Specialized | |
On May 13, 2014, the Company acquired all of the operating units of Specialized Industries LP, a portfolio company of ELB Capital Management, LLC. The purchase included the businesses of Super Products LLC, Wausau-Everest LP and Howard P. Fairfield LLC as well as several related entities ("Specialized"), including all brand names and related product names and trademarks (the "Acquisition") pursuant to the terms of the Membership Interests and Partnership Interests Purchase Agreement dated February 24, 2014 (the “Agreement”). The purchase price consideration was approximately $193 million, on a debt-free basis which included certain post-closing adjustments that were made within 90 days from the Acquisition date per the agreement. | |
In connection with the Acquisition on May 13, 2014, Alamo Group amended its revolving credit facility as disclosed in note 10. | |
Additional details of the acquisition, including allocation the purchase price to the net assets acquired, are included in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, no adjustments were made to the allocation of the purchase price. The Company continues to review its deferred tax attributes acquired in connection with the filing of the associated tax returns. | |
During the first quarter of 2015, the Specialized business units generated approximately $44.3 million of net sales and $2.3 million of net income which are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. | |
Other Acquisitions | |
The Company also completed two smaller acquisitions during the second quarter of 2014. Kellands Agricultural Ltd. was acquired on April 2, 2014 and Fieldquip Australia PTY LTD was acquired on April 7, 2014. Both acquisitions were on a debt free basis and subject to certain post-closing adjustments with total consideration of $5,594,000 . Additional details of these acquisitions are included in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. | |
Herder Implementos e Maquinas Agricolas Ltda. ("Herder") was acquired on March 9, 2015 on a debt free basis and subject to certain post-closing adjustments with total consideration of approximately $4.0 million subject to adjustments. This acquisition is being accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the total purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the completion of the acquisition. These allocations reflect various provisional estimates that were available at the time and are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period as valuations are finalized. The primary reason for the Herder acquisition was to establish a presence in South America which is a major global agricultural market. The revenue and earnings of Herder from the date of acquisition to March 31, 2015 were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. In addition, assuming the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2014, the results of operations of Herder would not have had a material pro forma effect on the Company’s revenues, earnings and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. |

Inventories valued at LIFO cost represented 41% and 37% of total inventory at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The excess of current cost over LIFO valued inventories was $10,230,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Inventory obsolescence reserves were $7,700,000 at March 31, 2015 and $7,601,000 at December 31, 2014. The increase in reserve for obsolescence resulted from the Company's quarterly review in the normal course of business. Net inventories consist of the following: | |||||||||||

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements |
ASC Subtopic 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. There is a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy: | |
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. | |
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. | |
Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable | |
Additional details on fair value measurements are included in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. | |
The carrying values of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of our debt approximates the fair value as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , as the floating rates on our outstanding balances approximate current market rates. This conclusion was made based on Level 2 inputs. |

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation | ||
The Company has granted options to purchase its common stock and or stock grants to certain employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates under various stock option plans at no less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. These options are granted for a term not exceeding ten years and are forfeited in the event the employee or director terminates his or her employment or relationship with the Company or one of its affiliates other than by retirement or death. These options generally vest over five years. All option plans contain anti-dilutive provisions that permit an adjustment of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock represented by each option for any change in capitalization. | |||
The Company’s stock-based compensation expense was $176,000 and $301,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease of stock-based compensation expense in 2015 as compared to 2014 is primarily related to the accelerated vesting of awards to retirement eligible recipients that occurred in 2014. | |||

Contingent Matters | Contingent Matters |
Like other manufacturers, the Company is subject to a broad range of federal, state, local and foreign laws and requirements, including those concerning air emissions, discharges into waterways, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and waste materials, as well as the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances at the Company’s facilities and off-site disposal locations, workplace safety and equal employment opportunities. These laws and regulations are constantly changing, and it is impossible to predict with accuracy the effect that changes to such laws and regulations may have on the Company in the future. Like other industrial concerns, the Company’s manufacturing operations entail the risk of noncompliance, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs or other liabilities as a result thereof. | |
The Company knows that its Indianola, Iowa property is contaminated with chromium which most likely resulted from chrome plating operations which were discontinued before the Company purchased the property. Chlorinated volatile organic compounds have also been detected in water samples on the property, though the source is unknown at this time. The Company voluntarily worked with an environmental consultant and the state of Iowa with respect to these issues and believes it completed its remediation program in June 2006. The work was accomplished within the Company’s environmental liability reserve balance. We requested a “no further action” classification from the state. We received a conditional “no further action” letter in January of 2009. When we demonstrate stable or improving conditions below residential standards for a certain period of time by monitoring existing wells, we will request an unconditional “no further action” letter. | |
The Company knows that Bush Hog’s main manufacturing property in Selma, Alabama was contaminated with chlorinated volatile organic compounds which most likely resulted from painting and cleaning operations during the 1960s and 1970s. The contaminated areas were primarily in the location of underground storage tanks and underneath the former waste storage area. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Bush Hog’s prior owner agreed to and has removed the underground storage tanks at its cost and has remediated the identified contamination in accordance with the regulations of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. An environmental consulting firm was retained by the prior owner to administer the cleanup and monitor the site on an ongoing basis until the remediation program is complete and approved by the applicable authorities. This process is technically complete and awaiting acceptance from applicable authorities, including the issuance of a Letter of Concurrence releasing the site from further assessment or corrective action. | |
Alamo Group Inc. and Bush Hog, Inc. were added as defendants in 2013 to ongoing litigation by Deere & Company as plaintiff against Bush Hog, LLC (now Duroc, LLC) and Great Plains Manufacturing Incorporated, in which Deere alleged infringement of a mower-related patent. The jury concluded that not only did the defendants not infringe the patent but that the patent was invalid as well. The Company expensed $2,100,000 in legal fees related to this lawsuit in 2013. Deere & Company has appealed and requested a new trial. The Company is waiting for the appellate court to set the matter for a hearing. | |
Certain assets of the Company contain asbestos that may have to be remediated over time. The Company believes that any subsequent change in the liability associated with the asbestos removal will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. | |
The Company is subject to various other federal, state, and local laws affecting its business, as well as a variety of regulations relating to such matters as working conditions, equal employment opportunities, and product safety. A variety of state laws regulate the Company’s contractual relationships with its dealers, some of which impose restrictive standards on the relationship between the Company and its dealers, including events of default, grounds for termination, non-renewal of dealer contracts, and equipment repurchase requirements. The Company believes it is currently in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations. |

The Company amortizes pension expense evenly over four quarters. Pension expense was $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and net pension income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $100,000. The Company is not required to contribute to the pension plans for the 2015 plan year but may do so. | |||||||||||||||
Supplemental Retirement Plan | |||||||||||||||
The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Alamo Group Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), effective as of January 3, 2011. The SERP will benefit certain key management or other highly compensated employees of the Company and/or certain subsidiaries who are selected by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors to participate. | |||||||||||||||
The SERP is intended to provide a benefit from the Company upon retirement, death or disability, or a change in control of the Company. Accordingly, the SERP obligates the Company to pay to a participant a Retirement Benefit (as defined in the SERP) upon the occurrence of certain payment events to the extent a participant has a vested right thereto. A participant’s right to his or her Retirement Benefit becomes vested in the Company’s contributions upon ten years of Credited Service (as defined in the SERP) or a change in control of the Company. The Retirement Benefit is based on 20% of the final three year average salary of each participant on or after his or her normal retirement age (65 years of age). In the event of the participant’s death or a change in control, the participant’s vested retirement benefit will be paid in a lump sum to the participant or his or her estate, as applicable, within 90 days after the participant’s death or a change in control, as applicable. In the event the participant is entitled to a benefit from the SERP due to disability, retirement or other termination of employment, the benefit will be paid in monthly installments over a period of fifteen years. | |||||||||||||||
The Company records amounts relating to the SERP based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, rate of compensation increases, retirement dates and life expectancies. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the SERP benefits. | |||||||||||||||
The net period expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $150,000 and $140,000, respectively. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax and various state, local, and international income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of revenue and expenses in different jurisdictions and the timing of recognizing revenue and expenses. Additionally, the amount of income taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. | |
We currently file income tax returns in the U.S., Canada, UK, France and Australia in which we have entities, and are periodically audited by federal, state, and international tax authorities. These audits can involve complex matters that may require an extended period of time for resolution. There are no income tax examinations currently in process. | |
Although the outcome of future tax audits is uncertain, in management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Differences between actual results and assumptions, or changes in assumptions in future periods are recorded in the period they become known. To the extent additional information becomes available prior to resolution; such accruals are adjusted to reflect probable outcomes. Our effective tax rate is impacted by earnings being realized in countries which have lower statutory rates. |
