ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Terex is a global manufacturer of lifting and material processing products and services that deliver lifecycle solutions to maximize customer return on investment. The Company delivers lifecycle solutions to a broad range of industries, including the construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, shipping, transportation, refining, energy, utility, quarrying and mining industries. We report in three business segments: (i) AWP; (ii) Cranes; and (iii) MP. Please refer to Note B - “Basis of Presentation” and Note C - “Business Segment Information” in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent business reorganizations and segment descriptions.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this document, we refer to various GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies. We present non-GAAP financial measures in reporting our financial results to provide investors with additional analytical tools which we believe are useful in evaluating our operating results and the ongoing performance of our underlying businesses. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP measures we may use include translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on net sales, gross profit, selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) costs and operating profit, as well as the net sales, gross profit, SG&A costs and operating profit excluding the impact of acquisitions.
As changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on our financial results, we believe excluding effect of these changes assists in assessment of our business results between periods. We calculate the translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes by translating current period results at rates that the comparable prior periods were translated at to isolate the foreign exchange component of the fluctuation from the operational component. Similarly, the impact of changes in our results from acquisitions that were not included in comparable prior periods may be subtracted from the absolute change in results to allow for better comparability of results between periods.
We calculate a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. We define free cash flow as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, plus (minus) increases (decreases) in Terex Financial Services (“TFS”) assets, plus (minus) decreases (increases) in cash balances held for settlement on securitized assets, less Capital expenditures. We believe that this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations.
We discuss forward looking information related to expected earnings per share (“EPS”) excluding restructuring charges and other items. The Company’s 2017 outlook for earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes items such as restructuring and other related charges, deal related costs, the impact of the release of tax valuation allowances and gains and losses on divestitures. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and impact of such items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s full-year 2017 GAAP financial results. Adjusted EPS provides guidance to investors about our EPS expectations excluding restructuring and other charges that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations.
Working capital is calculated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Trade receivables (net of allowance) plus Inventories, less Trade accounts payable and Customer advances. We view excessive working capital as an inefficient use of resources, and seek to minimize the level of investment without adversely impacting the ongoing operations of the business. Trailing three month annualized net sales is calculated using the net sales for the most recent quarter end multiplied by four. The ratio calculated by dividing working capital by trailing three months annualized net sales, is a non-GAAP measure that we believe measures our resource use efficiency.
Non-GAAP measures we use also include Net Operating Profit After Tax (“NOPAT”) as adjusted, income (loss) before income taxes as adjusted, income (loss) from operations as adjusted, (benefit from) provision for income taxes as adjusted and stockholders’ equity as adjusted, which are used in the calculation of our after tax return on invested capital (“ROIC”) (collectively the “Non-GAAP Measures”), which are discussed in detail below.
Overview
We continue to work towards transforming Terex into a more focused company. We completed the sale of our German compact construction business during 2016 and the sale of our MHPS business in January 2017. We have also announced the sale of our dumper and backhoe loader business in Coventry, England. Recently, we announced that we have designated our Brazilian utilities and Indian loader backhoe businesses as held for sale. With these actions, we are nearing completion of the “Focus” phase of our strategy deployment.
Operationally, we had mixed results across our businesses in 2016. Our AWP and MP segments performed in line with our expectations, while our Cranes segment performance was impacted by more challenging markets than we anticipated. The overall market dynamic for large capital equipment continues to be challenging, and we do not see market conditions improving in the near future. Our overall 2016 results were negatively impacted by margin declines in our AWP and Cranes segments mostly due to sales volume reductions.
We continue to review all aspects of our cost structure and have continued to take actions throughout the entire Company to reduce costs, with emphasis on functional general and administrative costs. These actions have resulted in savings which have been critical to at least partially offset challenging market conditions. We have also taken actions to continue to rationalize our manufacturing footprint, consolidating facilities across all three of our segments. Since the beginning of 2016, we have either closed or sold eight facilities. We have also announced plans to sell or close an additional six locations and are in the process of reducing our footprint at our manufacturing complexes in Redmond, Washington and Zweibrucken, Germany. Leveraging our existing capacity is necessary for the market environment we are in and will help us become more globally cost competitive. We are also reducing our headcount in our global cranes business as we adjust to lower production volumes. See Note N - “Restructuring and Other Charges” in our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on these actions.
Our AWP segment’s net sales and profitability declined year over year as the North American market declined on softer rental demand for aerials and telehandlers, while Europe was up modestly for the year. Sales volumes increased in the Asia Pacific region and the Latin American market was extremely weak. Operating margins in our AWP segment were lower primarily as a result of lower net sales volumes and global pricing dynamics, which were partially offset by manufacturing and SG&A cost reduction actions and geographical mix of sales. Looking ahead to 2017, the most influential market dynamic will continue to be the North American replacement cycle. While there is growth in non-residential construction in North America, this is more than offset by the dip in replacement demand as a result of the 2008 to 2010 market decline which is negatively impacting our sales and backlog. We expect Western Europe to remain fairly stable and believe the cost reduction actions we took in 2016, and the planned actions for 2017, will help align costs with the lower volumes expected in 2017.
Net sales and profitability in our Cranes segment declined year over year as the global crane market remains challenging for nearly all products and regions. The North American market remained weak, as low oil, gas and commodity prices continued to impact the sale of mobile cranes. The European market was hurt by changes in subsidies in the wind power market in Germany resulting in fewer large crawler crane sales. The Latin American, Australian and other commodity-driven markets were very weak and are expected to remain weak in 2017. Although our utilities products were down compared to last year, sales were profitable and we believe the North American utilities market is relatively stable. As described above, we have taken actions to improve the Cranes business, including reducing the Cranes footprint and cost structure and restructuring our Cranes leadership team in the fourth quarter of 2016. We do not expect the Cranes markets to improve in 2017.
Our MP segment’s operating profit improved on essentially flat net sales. Concrete equipment sales were up compared to last year. Crushing and screening equipment sales remained relatively flat, with the aggregates market growing slightly, and the mining-related market remaining weak. Our Fuchs scrap handling business was down, as was the market, driven by low steel scrap metal prices. Backlog for the segment is up compared to the prior year period, primarily due to strength in the mobile crushing and screening and North American concrete markets. Our mobile crushing and screening business is expected to remain stable and we continue to anticipate growth in our concrete products.
Geographically, our largest market remains North America, which now represents approximately 51% of our global sales in continuing operations. However, our North American sales declined 13% on a year-over-year basis, driven by softness in our AWP and mobile crane product categories. While the Asian/Pacific market grew, our other markets were generally down, with Latin America down significantly.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $377.1 million in 2016. We generated $199.4 million in free cash flow in 2016 (see reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow in Liquidity and Capital Resources). In January 2017, we issued $600 million of 8-year senior unsecured notes and also refinanced our credit facility. As a result of these actions and our MHPS sale, we are in the process of repaying our higher cost long-term debt. This will result in debt reductions of approximately $600 million, interest rate reductions and extensions of debt maturities. In total, these actions will lower our interest run-rate by approximately $35 million annually. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a detailed description of liquidity and working capital levels, including the primary factors affecting such levels.
We believe our liquidity continues to be sufficient to meet our business plans. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a detailed description of liquidity and working capital levels, including the primary factors affecting such levels.
Looking ahead to 2017, we expect 2017 earnings per share (“EPS”) to be between $0.60 and $0.80, excluding restructuring and other unusual items on net sales of approximately $3.9 billion. Our EPS guidance assumes stock repurchases to cover equity compensation and no impact from our ownership interest in Konecranes.
ROIC
ROIC continues to be a metric we use to measure our performance. ROIC and Non-GAAP Measures assist in showing how effectively we utilize capital invested in our operations. After-tax ROIC is determined by dividing the sum of NOPAT for each of the previous four quarters by the average of the sum of Total Terex Corporation stockholders’ equity plus Debt (as defined below) less Cash and cash equivalents (as defined below) for the previous five quarters. NOPAT for each quarter is calculated by multiplying Income (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations by a figure equal to one minus the effective tax rate of the Company. We believe that earnings from discontinued operations, as well as the net assets that comprise those operations’ invested capital, should be included in this calculation because it captures the financial returns on our capital allocation decisions for the measured periods.
Furthermore, we believe returns on capital deployed in TFS do not represent our primary operations and, therefore, TFS assets and results from operations have been excluded from the Non-GAAP Measures. The effective tax rate is equal to the (Provision for) benefit from income taxes divided by Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the respective quarter. Debt is calculated using amounts for Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt plus Long-term debt, less current portion. We calculate ROIC using the last four quarters’ adjusted NOPAT as this represents the most recent 12-month period at any given point of determination. In order for the denominator of the ROIC ratio to properly match the operational period reflected in the numerator, we include the average of five quarters’ ending balance sheet amounts so that the denominator includes the average of the opening through ending balances (on a quarterly basis) thereby providing, over the same time period as the numerator, four quarters of average invested capital.
Terex management and Board of Directors use ROIC as one of the primary measures to assess operational performance, including in connection with certain compensation programs. We use ROIC as a metric because we believe it measures how effectively we invest our capital and provides a better measure to compare ourselves to peer companies to assist in assessing how we drive operational improvement. We believe ROIC measures return on the amount of capital invested in our primary businesses, excluding TFS, as opposed to another metric such as return on stockholders’ equity that only incorporates book equity, and is thus a more accurate and descriptive measure of our performance. We also believe adding Debt less Cash and cash equivalents to Total stockholders’ equity provides a better comparison across similar businesses regarding total capitalization, and ROIC highlights the level of value creation as a percentage of capital invested. As the tables below show, our ROIC at December 31, 2016 was 17.7%.
Amounts described below are reported in millions of U.S. dollars, except for the effective tax rates. Amounts are as of and for the three months ended for the periods referenced in the tables below.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased $578.6 million when compared to 2015. The decline in net sales was driven by lower net sales in Cranes, AWP and in certain construction product lines in Corporate. Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted consolidated net sales by approximately 2%, or $80 million. These declines were partially offset by net sales improvement in our MP segment.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased $258.8 million when compared to 2015. The decrease was primarily due to declines in gross profit in our Cranes and AWP segments, mostly due to lower sales volume and pricing reductions and approximately $70 million in severance expense in these two segments. We also recognized approximately $25 million of increased expense associated with inventory and warranty reserves, primarily in Cranes and AWP. Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted gross profit in all segments, except Cranes. These decreases were partially offset by improved gross profit in our MP segment due to improved sales volumes and manufacturing cost improvements.
SG&A costs for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $36.7 million when compared to 2015. The majority of the increase in SG&A costs was due to approximately $42 million of asset impairment charges in Corporate and Cranes, and approximately $33 million of severance costs in Cranes, AWP and Corporate, partially offset by general and administrative cost reductions across our business from actions taken in 2016 and positive impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Due to deteriorating market conditions in our Cranes segment, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $176 million to write down the value of goodwill, which was recorded in the operating results of our Cranes segment in the year ended December 31, 2016.
Income from operations decreased by $471.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 when compared to 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the Cranes segment goodwill impairment charge, lower operating performance in the AWP and Cranes segments, for the reasons noted above, and severance and asset impairment charges in Cranes and Corporate.

Net sales for the AWP segment for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased $268.2 million when compared to 2015. Net sales decreased approximately $220 million due to volume declines primarily in North America and South America and pricing declines driven by market conditions and competition. The volume decline reflected softer aerial and telehandler sales primarily in North America, partially offset by stronger aerial volumes internationally. Approximately $26 million of the decline was due to declines in refurbishment service activity and approximately $22 million was due to negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes.
Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased $92.8 million when compared to 2015. The decrease was primarily due to sales volume declines, unfavorable pricing and severance expense, partially offset by better product mix, lower manufacturing costs and lower operating expenses, including selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net sales for the Cranes segment for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased by $292.0 million when compared to 2015, as the global Cranes market remained challenging for nearly all products and regions. The North American market remained weak as low oil, gas and commodity prices continued to impact sales of mobile cranes. The European market was hurt by changes in subsidies in the wind power market in Germany, resulting in fewer large crawler crane sales. Latin American, Australian and other commodity driven markets were also weak in 2016.
Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $321.7 million compared to income from operations of $56.3 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in operating performance was driven by an approximately $176 million goodwill impairment charge, approximately $82 million from sales volume declines and product mix noted above, approximately $92 million for severance and restructuring charges and approximately $20 million for asset impairment charges in Europe, Asia and the U.S, primarily associated with manufacturing facility closures to transfer production between facilities to improve labor efficiency and reduce overhead costs, and approximately $17 million of charges for increased warranty and inventory reserves. This decrease was partially offset by approximately $10 million of general and administrative expense reductions compared to the prior year period.
See Note L - “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the goodwill impairment charge recognized in 2016.

Net sales for the MP segment increased by $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 when compared to 2015. Net sales increased approximately $37 million due to the effect of an acquisition, increased volumes and favorable pricing, partially offset by approximately $33 million of negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Concrete equipment sales were up significantly compared to last year, crushing and screening equipment sales were slightly improved from the prior year, while mining-related and scrap handling equipment sales were weaker compared to last year.
Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $17.7 million when compared to 2015. The increase was driven primarily by increased sales volumes and favorable pricing, the effect of a supplier settlement and operating cost improvements, partially offset by negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes and an acquisition.

Net sales decreased by $22.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 when compared to 2015. The net sales amounts include sales in various construction product lines and on-book financing of TFS, as well as elimination of intercompany sales activity among segments. The net sales decrease is primarily attributable to product line divestitures and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes in our construction product lines.
Loss from operations increased $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to approximately $22 million of asset impairment charges and approximately $4 million for severance expense, partially offset by general and administrative cost reductions and the positive impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
During the year ended December 31, 2016, our interest expense, net of interest income, was $97.7 million, or $6.6 million lower than the prior year. The reduction resulted primarily from the settlement of the 4% Convertible Notes on June 1, 2015 and lower debt balances in the current year when compared to the prior year.
Other Income (Expense) — Net
Other income (expense) — net for the year ended December 31, 2016 was expense of $25.2 million, an increase of $1.5 million when compared to expense of $23.7 million in the prior year. During 2016, we recognized approximately $25 million for impairments related to certain investments and approximately $20 million of merger and deal-related costs, partially offset by approximately $19 million of foreign currency exchange gains. The 2015 expense was driven primarily by approximately $15 million of merger and deal-related costs and approximately $6 million of foreign currency exchange losses.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized an income tax benefit of $77.4 million on a loss of $270.7 million, an effective tax rate of 28.6%, as compared to an income tax expense of $67.5 million on income of $195.7 million, an effective tax rate of 34.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2015. The lower effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to changes caused by the Disposition in expectations concerning the indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings and nondeductible goodwill impairment in our Cranes segment, partially offset by tax benefits from valuation allowance releases and prior year net operating loss carryforwards.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased by approximately $3 million when compared to the prior year primarily as a result of declining operating performance of our MHPS business.
Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Discontinued Operations
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a gain on disposition of discontinued operations - net of tax of $3.5 million related to the sale of our Atlas heavy construction equipment and knuckle-boom cranes businesses, due to contractual earnout payments, and from our truck business. During the year ended December 31, 2015 we recognized a gain on disposition of discontinued operations - net of tax of $3.4 million due primarily to a gain of $2.8 million related to the sale of our Atlas heavy construction equipment and knuckle-boom cranes businesses based on contractual earnout payments from the purchaser, partially offset by a loss of $1.3 million related to sale of our truck business, including settlement of certain disputes in the asset sale agreement.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased $462.3 million when compared to 2014. The decline in net sales was driven by lower net sales across all segments, except MP, with the largest declines coming from AWP and construction-related product lines within Corporate and Other. Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted consolidated net sales by approximately 7% or $358 million. Net sales decreased by approximately $220 million due to the disposition of construction-related product lines in Corporate and Other. The declines were partially offset by approximately $124 million from acquired businesses in our MP and Cranes segments and improvements in certain product lines or regions in all of our segments.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased $80.3 million when compared to 2014. The decrease was primarily due to declines in all segments except MP, which delivered improved margins. Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted gross profit in all segments, and sales volumes were down in all segments except for Cranes. These decreases were partially offset by reduced material and manufacturing costs.
SG&A costs for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased by $4.0 million when compared to 2014. The decrease was primarily due to approximately $42 million of positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by approximately $24 million of general and administrative cost increases and approximately $16 million from increased costs associated with acquired businesses in MP and Cranes.
Income from operations decreased by $76.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 when compared to 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating performance in the AWP and Cranes segments.

Net sales for the AWP segment for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased $157.0 million when compared to 2014. Net sales decreased approximately $82 million due to the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes. North American net sales decreased due to lower pricing and softening demand for telehandlers and aerials, which were impacted by the uncertainty surrounding oil and gas markets. Sales in Latin America were lower due to the continuing impact of economic uncertainties in Brazil as well as softer pricing. These decreases were partially offset by increased net sales in Europe due to robust replacement demand and increased product adoption in China.
Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased $34.7 million when compared to 2014. The decrease was due to declines in net sales noted above, as well as unfavorable pricing, and negative impact from foreign exchange rate changes. These decreases were partially offset by lower material costs and reduced manufacturing costs associated with decreased indirect labor.

Net sales for the Cranes segment for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased by $90.4 million when compared to 2014. Net sales decreased approximately $172 million due to the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Lower demand for mobile cranes in North America and Australia, largely due to declines in oil, gas and commodity prices, also contributed to the decrease in net sales. These decreases were partially offset by higher cranes product sales in Europe and Asia and the contribution from an acquired business of approximately $73 million.
Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased $27.5 million when compared to 2014, resulting primarily from approximately $16 million of foreign exchange rate changes and approximately $15 million from lower factory utilization.

Net sales in the MP segment increased by $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 when compared to 2014. The increase was primarily due to approximately $51 million from acquired businesses and increased sales in India, partially offset by approximately $44 million from negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Concrete equipment sales were up significantly in 2015 compared to 2014, but these volume increases were more than offset by weakness in product sales in mining-related markets.
Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $3.0 million when compared to 2014. The increase was driven by approximately $11 million of manufacturing cost savings, partially offset by approximately $9 million from negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes.

Net sales decreased by $216.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 when compared to 2014. Net sales amounts include sales in various construction equipment product lines and on-book financing of TFS, as well as elimination of intercompany sales activity among segments. Net sales decreased by approximately $220 million due to the disposition of our majority interest in the compact track loader business in the fourth quarter of 2014, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes, and reduced compact construction sales in Germany and India. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased site dumper sales in the U.K.
Loss from operations increased $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2014. The increased operating loss was primarily from lower net sales in construction product lines, which drove a reduction of approximately $15 million from lower volume, and the business divestiture noted above, partially offset by favorable pricing and sales mix.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
During the year ended December 31, 2015, our interest expense net of interest income was $104.3 million, or $12.4 million lower than the prior year. The reduction resulted from the settlement of the 4% Convertible Notes on June 1, 2015 and lower effective interest rates in the current year.
Other Income (Expense) — Net
Other income (expense) — net for the year ended December 31, 2015 was expense of $23.7 million, an increase of $19.0 million when compared to expense of $4.7 million in the prior year. During 2015, we recognized approximately $15 million of merger and deal-related costs and approximately $6 million of foreign currency exchange losses. In 2014, the expense was primarily attributable to a loss of $2.6 million on early extinguishment of debt related to termination of our 2011 Credit Agreement and foreign currency exchange losses.
Income Taxes
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized income tax expense of $67.5 million on income of $195.7 million, an effective tax rate of 34.5%, as compared to income tax expense of $26.6 million on income of $278.6 million, an effective tax rate of 9.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2014. The higher effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to tax benefits derived from divestitures in the year ended December 31, 2014, and increased losses in 2015 that did not produce tax benefits, partially offset by a favorable geographic mix of earnings in 2015.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased by approximately $8.5 million when compared to the prior year primarily as a result of improved operating performance of our MHPS business due to lower restructuring charges and loss from sale of an entity, despite approximately $35 million of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in 2015.
Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Discontinued Operations
Gain on disposition of discontinued operations decreased by $55.2 million primarily due to the sale of the truck business in the year ended December 31, 2014.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in estimates and assumptions used by management could have significant impacts on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the following are among our most significant accounting policies which are important in determining the reporting of transactions and events and which utilize estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and therefore are based on management judgment. Please refer to Note B – “Basis of Presentation” in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete listing of our accounting policies.
Inventories – In valuing inventory, we are required to make assumptions regarding level of reserves required to value potentially obsolete or over-valued items at the lower of cost or market. These assumptions require us to analyze the aging of and forecasted demand for our inventory, forecast future products sales prices, pricing trends and margins, and to make judgments and estimates regarding obsolete or excess inventory. Future product sales prices, pricing trends and margins are based on the best available information at that time including actual orders received, negotiations with our customers for future orders, including their plans for expenditures, and market trends for similar products. Our judgments and estimates for excess or obsolete inventory are based on analysis of actual and forecasted usage. Valuation of used equipment taken in trade from customers requires us to use the best information available to determine the value of the equipment to potential customers. This value is subject to change based on numerous conditions. Inventory reserves are established taking into account age, frequency of use, or sale, and in the case of repair parts, the installed base of machines. While calculations are made involving these factors, significant management judgment regarding expectations for future events is involved. Future events that could significantly influence our judgment and related estimates include general economic conditions in markets where our products are sold, new equipment price fluctuations, actions of our competitors, including introduction of new products and technological advances, as well as new products and design changes we introduce. We make adjustments to our inventory reserve based on the identification of specific situations and increase our inventory reserves accordingly. As further changes in future economic or industry conditions occur, we will revise estimates that were used to calculate our inventory reserves.
If actual conditions are less favorable than those we have projected, we will increase our reserves for lower of cost or market (“LCM”), excess and obsolete inventory accordingly. Any increase in our reserves will adversely impact our results of operations. Establishment of a reserve for LCM, excess and obsolete inventory establishes a new cost basis in the inventory. Such reserves are not reduced until the product is sold.
Accounts Receivable – We are required to judge our ability to collect accounts receivable from our customers. Valuation of receivables includes evaluating customer payment histories, customer leverage, availability of third-party financing, political and exchange risks and other factors. Many of these factors, including assessment of a customer’s ability to pay, are influenced by economic and market factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. Given current economic conditions, there can be no assurance our historical accounts receivable collection experience will be indicative of future results.
Guarantees – As of December 31, 2016, we have issued guarantees to financial institutions related to customer financing of equipment purchases by our customers. We must assess the probability of losses or non-performance in ways similar to the evaluation of accounts receivable, including consideration of a customer’s payment history, leverage, availability of third party financing, political and exchange risks, and other factors. Many of these factors, including the assessment of a customer’s ability to pay, are influenced by economic and market factors that cannot be predicted with certainty.
Our customers, from time to time, may fund acquisition of our equipment through third-party finance companies. In certain instances, we may provide a credit guarantee to the finance company by which we agree to make payments to the finance company should the customer default. Our maximum liability is limited to the remaining payments due to the finance company at the time of default. In the event of customer default, we have generally been able to recover and dispose of the equipment at a minimum loss, if any, to us. There can be no assurance that our historical credit default experience will be indicative of future results. Our ability to recover losses experienced from our guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in effect at time of loss.
We issue residual value guarantees under sales-type leases. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future point in time. We are generally able to mitigate risk associated with these guarantees because the maturity of the guarantees is staggered, which limits the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time.
We guarantee, from time to time, that we will buy equipment from our customers in the future at a stated price if certain conditions are met by the customer. Such guarantees are referred to as buyback guarantees. These conditions generally pertain to the functionality and state of repair of the machine. We are generally able to mitigate the risk of these guarantees because maturity of guarantees is staggered, limiting the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time, and through leveraging our access to the used equipment markets provided by our original equipment manufacturer status.
We record a liability for the estimated fair value of guarantees issued pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 460, “Guarantees” (“ASC 460”). We recognize a loss under a guarantee when our obligation to make payment under the guarantee is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. A loss would be recognized if our payment obligation under the guarantee exceeds the value we could expect to recover to offset such payment, primarily through the sale of the equipment underlying the guarantee.
There can be no assurances that our historical experience in used equipment markets will be indicative of future results. Our ability to recover losses experienced from our guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.
See Note S – “Litigation and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our guarantees.
Revenue Recognition – Revenue and related costs are generally recorded when products are shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated dealers or to end-customers.
Revenue generated in the United States is recognized when title and risk of loss pass from us to our customers, which generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the shipping terms negotiated. We also have a policy requiring that certain criteria be met in order to recognize revenue, including satisfaction of the following requirements:
| |
a) | Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; |
| |
b) | The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; |
| |
c) | Collectability is reasonably assured; and |
| |
d) | We have no significant obligations for future performance. |
In the United States, we have the ability to enter into a security agreement and receive a security interest in the product by filing an appropriate Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statement. However, a significant portion of our revenue is generated outside of the United States. In many countries outside of the United States, as a matter of statutory law, a seller retains title to a product until payment is made. The laws do not provide for a seller’s retention of a security interest in goods in the same manner as established in the UCC. In these countries, we retain title to goods delivered to a customer until the customer makes payment so that we can recover the goods in the event of customer default on payment. In these circumstances, where we only retain title to secure our recovery in the event of customer default, we also have a policy, which requires meeting certain criteria in order to recognize revenue, including satisfaction of the following requirements:
| |
a) | Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; |
| |
b) | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
| |
c) | The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; |
| |
d) | Collectability is reasonably assured; |
| |
e) | We have no significant obligations for future performance; and |
| |
f) | We are not entitled to direct the disposition of the goods, cannot rescind the transaction, cannot prohibit the customer from moving, selling, or otherwise using the goods in the ordinary course of business and have no other rights of holding title that rest with a titleholder of property that is subject to a lien under the UCC. |
In circumstances where the sales transaction requires acceptance by the customer for items such as testing on site, installation, trial period or performance criteria, revenue is not recognized unless the following criteria have been met:
| |
a) | Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; |
| |
b) | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
| |
c) | The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; |
| |
d) | Collectability is reasonably assured; and |
| |
e) | The customer has given their acceptance, the time period for acceptance has elapsed or we have otherwise objectively demonstrated that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions have been satisfied. |
In addition to performance commitments, we analyze factors such as the reason for the purchase to determine if revenue should be recognized. This analysis is done before the product is shipped and includes the evaluation of factors that may affect the conclusion related to the revenue recognition criteria as follows:
| |
a) | Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; |
| |
b) | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
| |
c) | The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and |
| |
d) | Collectability is reasonably assured. |
Revenue from sales-type leases is recognized at the inception of the lease. Income from operating leases is recognized ratably over the term of the lease. We routinely sell equipment subject to operating leases and related lease payments. If we do not retain a substantial risk of ownership in the equipment, the transaction is recorded as a sale. If we do retain a substantial risk of ownership, the transaction is recorded as a borrowing, the operating lease payments are recognized as revenue over the term of the lease and the debt is amortized over a similar period.
We, from time to time, issue buyback guarantees in conjunction with certain sales agreements. These primarily relate to trade value agreements (“TVAs”) in which a customer may trade in equipment in the future at a stated price/credit if the customer meets certain conditions. The trade-in price/credit is determined at the time of the original sale of equipment. In conjunction with the trade-in, these conditions include a requirement to purchase new equipment at fair market value at the time of trade-in, which fair value is required to be of equal or greater value than the original equipment cost. Other conditions also include the general functionality and state of repair of the machine. We have concluded that any credit provided to customers under a TVA/buyback guarantee, which is expected to be equal to or less than the fair value of the equipment returned on the trade-in date, is a guarantee to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 460.
The original sale of equipment, accompanied by a buyback guarantee, is a multiple element transaction wherein we offer our customer the right, after some period of time, for a limited period of time, to exchange purchased equipment for a fixed price trade-in credit toward another of our products. The fixed price trade-in credit is accounted for under the guidance provided by ASC 460. Pursuant to this right, we have agreed to make a payment (in the form of a trade-in credit) to the customer contingent upon the customer exercising its right to trade in the original purchased equipment. Under the guidance of ASC 460, we record the fixed price trade-in credit at its fair value. Accordingly, as noted above, we have accounted for the trade-in credit as a separate deliverable in a multiple element arrangement.
When a sales transaction includes multiple deliverables, such as sales of multiple products or sales of products and services that are delivered over multiple reporting periods, the multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine the units of accounting, and the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each unit of accounting based on the relative selling price. The selling price of a unit of accounting is determined using a selling price hierarchy. Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) is established based upon the price charged for products and services that are sold separately in standalone transactions. If VSOE cannot be established, third-party evidence (“TPE”) is evaluated based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. If neither VSOE nor TPE is available, management's best estimate of selling price is established based upon the price at which we would sell the product on a standalone basis taking into consideration factors including, but not limited to, internal costs, gross margin objectives, pricing practices and market conditions. Revenue is recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each unit of accounting are met.
Goodwill – Goodwill, representing the difference between total purchase price and fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition, is reviewed for impairment annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which the recorded value of such assets and liabilities exceeds fair value. We selected October 1 as the date for our required annual impairment test.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business for which discrete financial information with similar economic characteristics is available and operating results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker. The AWP, Cranes, and MP operating segments plus the Material Handling (“MH”) business and Port Solutions (“PS”) business of our former MHPS segment, which is a discontinued operation, comprise the five reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes.
We may elect to perform a qualitative analysis for our reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. If the qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if we elect not to perform a qualitative analysis, we perform a quantitative analysis to determine whether a goodwill impairment exists.
The quantitative goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step process. The first step used to identify potential impairment involves comparing each reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. We use an income approach derived from a discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value of our reporting units. The aggregate fair value of our reporting units is compared to our market capitalization on the valuation date to assess its reasonableness. Initial recognition of goodwill, as well as the annual review of carrying value of goodwill, requires that we develop estimates of future business performance. These estimates are used to derive expected cash flows and include assumptions regarding future sales levels and the level of working capital needed to support a given business. We rely on data developed by business segment management as well as macroeconomic data in making these calculations. The discounted cash flow model also includes a determination of our weighted average cost of capital by reporting unit. Cost of capital is based on assumptions about interest rates as well as a risk-adjusted rate of return required by our equity investors. Changes in these estimates can impact present value of expected cash flows used in determining fair value of a given business.
The second step of the process involves calculation of an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which step one indicated impairment. Implied fair value of goodwill is determined by measuring the excess of estimated fair value of the reporting unit over estimated fair values of individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If implied fair value of goodwill exceeds carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit and subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted.
As a result of our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2016, we recorded a non-cash charge of $176.0 million in our Cranes segment and in the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded a non-cash charge of $11.3 million in our former MHPS segment, which is a discontinued operation, to reflect impairment of goodwill in our PS reporting unit. There were no indicators of goodwill impairment in the test performed as of October 1, 2014. See Note L – “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” and Note E – “Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
In order to evaluate the sensitivity of any quantitative fair value calculations on the goodwill impairment test, we applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of any reporting unit calculated. This hypothetical 10% decrease would still result in excess fair value over carrying value for the reporting units tested, other than Cranes, as of October 1, 2016.
Further impairments may be necessary in the future if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions utilized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – Our policy is to assess the realizability of our long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than carrying value. If an impairment is indicated, assets are written down to their fair value, which is typically determined by a discounted cash flow analysis. Future cash flow projections include assumptions regarding future sales levels and the level of working capital needed to support the assets. We use data developed by business segment management as well as macroeconomic data in making these calculations. There are no assurances that future cash flow assumptions will be achieved. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset.
Accrued Warranties – We record accruals for unasserted warranty claims based on our claim experience. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. However, adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claims experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. These warranty costs are based upon management’s assessment of past claims and current experience. However, actual claims could be higher or lower than amounts estimated, as the amount and value of warranty claims are subject to variation as a result of many factors that cannot be predicted with certainty, including production quality issues, performance of new products, models and technology, changes in weather conditions for product operation, different uses for products and other similar factors.
Accrued Product Liability – We record accruals for product liability claims when deemed probable and estimable based on facts and circumstances and our prior claims experience. Accruals for product liability claims are valued based upon our prior claims experience, including consideration of the jurisdiction, circumstances of the accident, type of loss or injury, identity of plaintiff, other potential responsible parties, analysis of outside legal counsel, analysis of internal product liability counsel and the experience of our product safety team. Actual product liability costs could be different due to a number of variables such as the decisions of juries or judges.
Defined Benefit Plans – Pension benefits represent financial obligations that will be ultimately settled in the future with employees who meet eligibility requirements. As of December 31, 2016, we maintained one qualified defined benefit pension plan and one nonqualified plan covering certain U.S. employees. Benefits covering salaried employees are based primarily on years of service and employees’ qualifying compensation during final years of employment. Benefits covering bargaining unit employees are based primarily on years of service and a flat dollar amount per year of service. Participation in the qualified plan is frozen and participants are only credited with post-freeze service for purposes of determining vesting and retirement eligibility. It is our policy, generally, to fund the qualified U.S. plan based on requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. See Note Q – “Retirement Plans and Other Benefits” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The nonqualified plan provides retirement benefits to certain senior executives of the Company and is unfunded. Generally, the nonqualified plan provides a benefit based on average total compensation earned over a participant’s final five years of employment and years of service reduced by benefits earned under any Company retirement program, excluding salary deferrals and matching contributions. In addition, benefits are reduced by Social Security Primary Insurance Amounts attributable to Company contributions. Participation in the nonqualified plan is frozen; however, eligible participants are credited with post-freeze service for purposes of determining vesting and the amount of benefits.
We maintain defined benefit plans in France, Germany, India, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) for some of our subsidiaries. The plans in France, Germany and India are unfunded plans. The plan in the U.K. is frozen. Participation in the German plans is frozen; however, eligible participants are credited with post-freeze service for purposes of determining vesting and the amount of benefits. For our operations in Austria and Italy there are mandatory termination indemnity plans providing a benefit payable upon termination of employment in substantially all cases of termination. We record this obligation based on the mandated requirements. The measure of the current obligation is not dependent on the employees’ future service and therefore is measured at current value.
Plan assets consist primarily of common stocks, bonds and short-term cash equivalent funds. For the U.S. plan, approximately 32% of the assets are in equity securities and 68% are in fixed income securities. For non-U.S. funded plans, approximately 25% of the assets are in equity securities, 72% are in fixed income securities and 3% are in real estate investment securities. These allocations are reviewed periodically and updated to meet the long-term goals of the plans.
Determination of defined benefit pension and post-retirement plan obligations and their associated expenses requires use of actuarial valuations to estimate the benefits employees earn while working, as well as the present value of those benefits. We use the services of independent actuaries to assist with these calculations. Inherent in these valuations are economic assumptions, including expected returns on plan assets, discount rates at which liabilities may be settled, rates of increase of health care costs, rates of future compensation increases as well as employee demographic assumptions such as retirement patterns, mortality and turnover. The actuarial assumptions used may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower turnover rates, or longer or shorter life spans of participants. In 2014, the Society of Actuaries (the “Society”) issued the RP-2014 mortality tables and improvement scale MP-2014. In 2015 and again in 2016, the Society issued improvement scales MP-2015 and MP-2016, respectively. The improvement scales are intended to improve the accuracy of the RP-2014 mortality tables and provide the best mortality estimates available for calculating expense and projected benefit obligations. Terex adopted the MP-2014 mortality tables when they were issued and has also adopted each improvement scale for its U.S. pension plans when they have become available. Actual results that differ from the actuarial assumptions used are recorded as unrecognized gains and losses. Unrecognized gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of the plan’s projected benefit obligations or the market-related value of assets are amortized to earnings over the shorter of the estimated future service period of the plan participants or the period until any anticipated final plan settlements. The assumptions used in the actuarial models are evaluated periodically and are updated to reflect experience. We believe the assumptions used in the actuarial calculations are reasonable and are within accepted practices in each of the respective geographic locations in which we operate.
Expected long-term rates of return on pension plan assets were 7.00% for the U.S. plan, 4.50% for the U.K. plan and 2.00% for the Swiss plan at December 31, 2016. Our strategy with regard to the investments in the pension plans is to earn a rate of return sufficient to match or exceed the long-term growth of pension liabilities. The expected rate of return of plan assets represents an estimate of long-term returns on the investment portfolio. These rates are determined annually by management based on a weighted average of current and historical market trends, historical portfolio performance and the portfolio mix of investments. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets at December 31 is used to measure the earnings effects for the subsequent year. The difference between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets affects the calculated value of plan assets and, ultimately, future pension expense (income).
The discount rates for pension plan liabilities were 4.03% for the U.S. plan and 0.50% to 10.71% with a weighted average of 2.27% for non-U.S. plans at December 31, 2016. The discount rate enables us to estimate the present value of expected future cash flows on the measurement date. The rate used reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed income investments that match the duration of expected benefit payments at the December 31 measurement date. The discount rate at December 31 is used to measure the year-end benefit obligations and the earnings effects on the subsequent year. Typically, a higher discount rate decreases the present value of benefit obligations.
Our U.S. pension plan is frozen so there is no expected rate of compensation increase, however, our nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan has an expected rate of compensation increase of 3.75%. The expected rates of compensation increase for our non-U.S. pension plans were 1.00% to 9.00% with a weighted average of 0.89% at December 31, 2016. These estimated annual compensation increases are determined by management every year and are based on historical trends and market indices.
We have recorded the underfunded status on our balance sheet as a liability and the unrecognized prior service costs and actuarial gains (losses) as an adjustment to Stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The net decrease in the liability and funded status of $3.8 million was due to earnings on our pension assets and the positive effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, offset by changes in assumptions from the previous year, primarily decreases in discount rates.
Actual results in any given year will often differ from actuarial assumptions because of demographic, economic and other factors. Market value of plan assets can change significantly in a relatively short period of time. Additionally, the measurement of plan benefit obligations is sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, if the equity market declines and/or interest rates decrease, the plans’ estimated benefit obligations could increase, causing an increase in liabilities and a reduction in Stockholders’ Equity.
We expect any future obligations under our plans that are not currently funded will be funded from future cash flows from operations. If our contributions are insufficient to adequately fund the plans to cover our future obligations, or if the performance of assets in our plans does not meet expectations, or if our assumptions are modified, contributions could be higher than expected, which would reduce cash available for our business. Changes in U.S. or foreign laws governing these plans could require additional contributions. In addition, changes in generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. could require recording additional liabilities and costs related to these plans.
Assumptions used in computing our net pension expense and projected benefit obligation have a significant effect on the amounts reported. A 25 basis point change in each assumption below would have the following effects upon net pension expense and projected benefit obligation, respectively, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016:

Income Taxes – We estimate income taxes based on enacted tax laws in the various jurisdictions where we conduct business. We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which represent future tax benefits or obligations of our legal entities. These deferred income tax balances arise from temporary differences due to divergent treatment of certain items for accounting and income tax purposes.
We evaluate our deferred tax assets each period to ensure that estimated future taxable income will be sufficient in character, amount and timing to result in the use of our deferred tax assets. “Character” refers to the type (ordinary income versus capital gain) as well as the source (foreign vs. domestic) of the income we generate. “Timing” refers to the period in which future income is expected to be generated. Timing is important because, in certain jurisdictions, net operating losses (“NOLs”) and other tax attributes expire if not used within an established statutory time frame. Based on these evaluations, we have determined that it is more likely than not that expected future earnings will be sufficient to use most of our deferred tax assets.
We do not provide for income taxes or tax benefits on differences between financial reporting basis and tax basis of our non-U.S. subsidiaries where such differences are reinvested and, in our opinion, will continue to be indefinitely reinvested. If earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not considered indefinitely reinvested, deferred U.S. income taxes, foreign income taxes, and foreign withholding taxes may have to be provided. We do not record deferred income taxes on the temporary difference between the book and tax basis in domestic subsidiaries where permissible. At this time, determination of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the investment in subsidiaries is not practicable.
Judgments and estimates are required to determine tax expense and deferred tax valuation allowances and in assessing uncertain tax positions. Tax returns are subject to audit and local taxing authorities could challenge tax-filing positions we take. Our practice is to file income tax returns that conform to requirements of each jurisdiction and to record provisions for tax liabilities, including interest and penalties, in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” As our business has grown in geographic scope, size and complexity, so has our potential exposure to uncertain tax positions. Given the subjective nature of applicable tax laws, results of an audit of some of our tax returns could have a significant impact on our financial statements.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Please refer to Note B – “Basis of Presentation” in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for a listing of recent accounting pronouncements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We continue to focus on generating cash and improving margins. We generated $377.1 million in cash from operating activities and achieved our expectations for free cash flow with $199.4 million generated for the year ended December 31, 2016. This was primarily due to improved working capital efficiency. Our liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving credit line) increased from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 by approximately $35 million.
The following table reconciles Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow (in millions):
|
| | | | |
| | Year Ended 12/31/2016 |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | 377.1 |

(Increase) decrease in cash for securitization settlement | | 6.2 |
|
Capital expenditures | | (73.0 | ) |
Free cash flow | | $ | 199.4 |
|
Generating cash from operations depends primarily on the Company’s ability to earn net income through the sales of its products and to manage its investment in working capital. Pursuant to terms of the Company’s trade accounts receivable factoring arrangements, during the year ended December 31, 2016, we sold, without recourse, approximately $620 million of trade accounts receivable to provide additional liquidity. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we also sold approximately $291 million of sales-type leases and commercial loans.
Our main sources of funding are cash generated from operations, loans from our bank credit facilities, and funds raised in capital markets. We had cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents recorded as Current assets held for sale, of $501.9 million at December 31, 2016. We seek to use cash held by our foreign subsidiaries to support our operations and continued growth plans outside the United States through funding of capital expenditures, operating expenses or other similar cash needs of these operations. Such cash could be used in the U.S., if necessary. Cash repatriated to the U.S. could be subject to incremental local and U.S. taxation. Primarily as a result of the sale of the MHPS business to Konecranes, the Company has repatriated approximately $1.3 billion of amounts invested outside the U.S. Because our expectation for changes to existing tax laws worldwide is high, we will continue to monitor tax legislation for opportunities to tax-efficiently mobilize and redeploy funds. There are no other trends, demands or uncertainties as a result of the Company’s cash re-investment policy that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on us as a whole or that may be relevant to our financial flexibility.
We believe cash generated from operations together with access to our bank credit facilities and cash on hand, provide adequate liquidity to continue to support internal operating initiatives and meet our operating and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. See Item 1A “Risk Factors” for a detailed description of the risks resulting from our debt and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to operate our business.
Our ability to generate cash from operations is subject to numerous factors, including the following:
| |
• | Many of our customers fund their purchases through third-party finance companies that extend credit based on the credit-worthiness of customers and expected residual value of our equipment. Changes either in customers’ credit profile or used equipment values may affect the ability of customers to purchase equipment. There can be no assurance third-party finance companies will continue to extend credit to our customers as they have in the past. |
| |
• | As our sales change, the amount of working capital needed to support our business may change. |
| |
• | Our suppliers extend payment terms to us primarily based on our overall credit rating. Declines in our credit rating may influence suppliers’ willingness to extend terms and in turn increase cash requirements of our business. |
| |
• | Sales of our products are subject to general economic conditions, weather, competition, translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes, and other factors that in many cases are outside our direct control. For example, during periods of economic uncertainty, our customers have delayed purchasing decisions, which reduces cash generated from operations. |
| |
• | Availability and utilization of other sources of liquidity such as trade receivables sales programs. |
Typically, we have invested our cash in a combination of highly rated, liquid money market funds and in short-term bank deposits with large, highly rated banks. Our investment objective is to preserve capital and liquidity while earning a market rate of interest.
Our investment in financial services assets was approximately $239 million, net at December 31, 2016. We remain focused on expanding financing solutions in key markets like the U.S. and Europe. We also anticipate using TFS to drive incremental sales by increasing direct customer financing through TFS in certain instances.
During 2016, cash provided by reduction in inventory was approximately $97 million, which was mostly driven by inventory reductions in our Cranes segment. Working capital as a percent of trailing three month annualized net sales was 20.8% at December 31, 2016.
The following tables show the calculation of our working capital and trailing three months annualized sales as of December 31, 2016 (in millions):

On January 31, 2017, we entered into a new credit agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”). The 2017 Credit Agreement provides us with a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $450.0 million that is available through January 31, 2022 and a $400.0 million senior secured term loan, which will mature on January 31, 2024. The 2017 Credit Agreement allows unlimited incremental commitments, which may be extended at the option of the existing or new lenders and can be in the form of revolving credit commitments, term loan commitments, or a combination of both, with incremental amounts in excess of $300.0 million as long as the Company satisfies a senior secured leverage ratio contained in the 2017 Credit Agreement.
Our previous credit agreement provided us with a revolving line of credit of up to $600 million. See Note O - “Long-Term Obligations,” in our Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning the 2017 Credit Agreement and our previous credit agreement. Borrowings under our U.S. dollar and Euro denominated term loans were $428.6 million as of December 31, 2016.
Interest rates charged under the revolving line of credit in the 2017 Credit Agreement are subject to adjustment based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The U.S. dollar term loan bears interest at a rate of London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.50%, with a floor of 0.75% on LIBOR. Under our previous credit agreement, we had a U.S. dollar term loan with interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a floor of 0.75% on LIBOR and a Euro term loan with interest at a rate of Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 2.75%, with a floor of 0.75% on EURIBOR. At December 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on these term loans was 3.63%.
We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining a balance between fixed and floating rate debt, including the use of interest rate derivatives when appropriate. Over the long term, we believe this mix will produce lower interest cost than a purely fixed rate mix while reducing interest rate risk.
On January 31, 2017, the Company sold and issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 (“5-5/8% Notes”) at par in a private offering. The proceeds from the 5-5/8% Notes, together with cash on hand, including cash from the sale of our MHPS business, have been and will be used: (i) to complete a tender offer for up to $550.0 million of our 6% Senior Notes, (ii) to redeem and discharge such portion of the 6% Notes that are not purchased in the tender offer, (iii) to fund a $300.0 million partial redemption of the 6% Notes, (iv) to fund anticipated redemption, repurchase or other retirement of all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 6.5% Notes on or before April 3, 2017, (v) to pay related premiums, fees, discounts and expenses and (vi) for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings outstanding under our previous credit agreement. The 5-5/8% Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
On May 28, 2015, we entered into a securitization facility with capacity up to $350 million secured by equipment loans and leases to our customers originated by TFS. On May 31, 2016, we terminated the securitization facility because it was not providing us with the flexibility needed for our portfolio of assets. See Note O - “Long-Term Obligations,” in our Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning this securitization facility.
We announced in February 2015 that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. During 2016, we repurchased 3.5 million shares for $81.3 million. We have approximately $69 million remaining available under the 2015 share repurchase authorization. We announced in February 2017 that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $350 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. In each quarter of 2016, we paid a $0.07 cash dividend to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.08 per share in the first quarter of 2017, which will be paid in March 2017. However, additional declarations of quarterly dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the determination of our Board of Directors.
Our ability to access capital markets to raise funds, through sale of equity or debt securities, is subject to various factors, some specific to us, and others related to general economic and/or financial market conditions. These include results of operations, projected operating results for future periods and debt to equity leverage. Our ability to access capital markets is also subject to our timely filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, terms of our bank credit facilities, senior notes and senior subordinated notes contain restrictions on our ability to make further borrowings and to sell substantial portions of our assets.
Cash Flows
Cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $377.1 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $227.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The change in cash from operations was primarily driven by lower cash used in working capital in 2016.
Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $11.8 million, compared to $172.7 million cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease of cash used in investing activities was primarily due to cash received from the sale of our compact construction business, lower cash used for acquisitions and lower capital expenditures in 2016 compared to 2015.
Cash used in financing activities was $310.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $29.0 million. The increase in cash used in financing activities in 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to lower net borrowings and increased share repurchases in 2016 compared to 2015.
Contractual Obligations
The following table sets out our specified contractual obligations at December 31, 2016 (in millions):

|
| |
(1) | Purchase obligations include non-cancellable and cancellable commitments. In many cases, cancellable commitments contain penalty provisions for cancellation. |
Long-term debt obligations include expected interest expense. Interest expense is calculated using fixed interest rates for indebtedness that has fixed rates and the implied forward rates as of December 31, 2016 for indebtedness that has floating interest rates.
As of December 31, 2016, our liability for uncertain income tax positions was $45.4 million. With respect to our tax audits worldwide, it is reasonably possible that we will make payments in 2017 of up to $12.2 million. Payments may be made in part to mitigate the accrual of interest in connection with income tax audit assessments that may be issued and that we would contest, or may in part be made to settle the matter with the tax authorities. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash flows associated with the remaining liabilities, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the amount and period in which these remaining liabilities might be paid.
Additionally, at December 31, 2016, we had outstanding letters of credit that totaled $183.2 million ($121.4 million related to discontinued operations) and had issued $42.3 million ($2.0 million related to discontinued operations) in credit guarantees of customer financing to purchase equipment and $3.5 million ($3.2 million related to discontinued operations) in buyback guarantees.
We maintain defined benefit pension plans for some of our operations in the United States and Europe. It is our policy to fund the retirement plans at the minimum level required by applicable regulations. In 2016, we made cash contributions and payments to the retirement plans of $8 million, and we estimate that our retirement plan contributions will be approximately $8 million in 2017. Changes in market conditions, changes in our funding levels or actions by governmental agencies may result in accelerated funding requirements in future periods.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Guarantees
Our customers, from time to time, fund the acquisition of our equipment through third-party finance companies. In certain instances, we may provide a credit guarantee to the finance company by which we agree to make payments to the finance company should the customer default. Our maximum liability is generally limited to our customer’s remaining payments due to the finance company at the time of default. In the event of a customer default, we are generally able to recover and dispose of the equipment at a minimum loss, if any, to us.
We issue, from time to time, residual value guarantees under sales-type leases. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date. We are generally able to mitigate the risk associated with these guarantees because maturity of guarantees is staggered, which limits the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time.
We guarantee, from time to time, that we will buy equipment from our customers in the future at a stated price if certain conditions are met by the customer. Such guarantees are referred to as buyback guarantees. These conditions generally pertain to functionality and state of repair of the machine. We are generally able to mitigate risk of these guarantees by staggering the timing of the buybacks and through leveraging our access to used equipment markets provided by our original equipment manufacturer status.
See Note S – “Litigation and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our guarantees.
There can be no assurance our historical experience in used equipment markets will be indicative of future results. Our ability to recover losses from our guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.
CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES
Foreign Currencies and Interest Rate Risk
Our products are sold in over 100 countries around the world and, accordingly, our revenues are generated in foreign currencies, while costs associated with those revenues are only partly incurred in the same currencies. Major foreign currencies, among others, in which we do business are the Euro, British Pound and Australian Dollar. We may, from time to time, hedge specifically identified committed and forecasted cash flows in foreign currencies using forward currency sale or purchase contracts. At December 31, 2016, we had foreign exchange contracts with a notional value of $245.5 million that were initially designated as hedge contracts. Fair market value of these arrangements, which represents the cost to settle these contracts, was a net loss of $2.6 million at December 31, 2016. See Risk Factor entitled, “We are subject to currency fluctuations,” for further information on our foreign exchange risk.
We manage exposure to interest rates by incurring a mix of indebtedness bearing interest at both floating and fixed rates at inception and maintaining an ongoing balance between floating and fixed rates on this mix of indebtedness using interest rate swaps when necessary.
See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below for a discussion of the impact that changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates may have on our financial performance.
Other
We are subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties including, without limitation, product liability claims, workers’ compensation liability, intellectual property litigation, self-insurance obligations, tax examinations, guarantees, class action lawsuits and other matters. See Note S – “Litigation and Contingencies” for more information concerning contingencies and uncertainties, including our securities and stockholder derivative lawsuits, and our proceedings involving certain former shareholders of Demag Cranes AG, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are insured for product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, property damage, intellectual property and other insurable risk required by law or contract with retained liability to us or deductibles. Many of the exposures are unasserted or proceedings are at a preliminary stage, and it is not presently possible to estimate the amount or timing of any of our costs. However, we do not believe these contingencies and uncertainties will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our operations. For contingencies and uncertainties other than income taxes, when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and possible to make reasonable estimates of our liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.
See Item 1. Business – Safety and Environmental Considerations for additional discussion of safety and environmental items.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Terex Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Terex Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (not presented herein) appearing under Item 9A of Terex Corporation’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it presents cash payments made on the employees’ behalf for withheld shares on the statement of cash flows in 2017.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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 its 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.

TEREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
(dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
NOTE A – SALE OF MHPS BUSINESS
On May 16, 2016, Terex Corporation (“Terex”, the “Company”) agreed to sell its Material Handling and Port Solutions business (“MHPS”) business to Konecranes Plc, a Finnish public company limited by shares (“Konecranes”) by entering into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “SAPA”), with Konecranes. As a result, the Company and Konecranes terminated the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “BCA”) announced on August 11, 2015, with no penalties incurred by either party. On January 4, 2017, the Company completed the disposition of its MHPS business to Konecranes (the “Disposition”), pursuant to the SAPA. In connection with the Disposition, the Company received 19.6 million newly issued Class B shares of Konecranes and approximately $832 million in cash after adjustments for estimated cash, debt and net working capital at closing and the divestiture of Konecranes’ Stahl Crane Systems business (“Stahl”), which was undertaken by Konecranes in connection with the Disposition. The final transaction consideration is subject to post-closing adjustments for the actual cash, debt and net working capital at closing, the 2016 performance of the MHPS business and Konecranes business, and the closing of the sale of Stahl.
The Company and Konecranes entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), dated as of January 4, 2017, providing certain restrictions, including Terex’s commitment that it will not directly or indirectly sell or otherwise transfer the shares of Konecranes stock received by the Company for a period of three months, subject to certain exceptions, including transfers to affiliates. In addition, under the Stockholders Agreement, Terex is subject to certain standstill obligations for a four-year period, as well as some limited obligations following the initial four-year period. Terex also has customary registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement between Terex and Konecranes entered into on January 4, 2017 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
In connection with the Disposition, Konecranes’ articles of association were amended to create a new class of B shares. On February 15, 2017, Terex sold approximately 7.5 million Konecranes shares for net proceeds of approximately $268 million. Following the sale of shares, Terex owns approximately 15.5% of the outstanding shares of Konecranes. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement and amended articles of association, Terex has nominated two members to the Board of Directors of Konecranes. Terex's initial Board representatives are David Sachs and Oren Shaffer.
Also in connection with the Disposition, the Company and Konecranes entered into certain ancillary agreements, including a Transition Services Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2017, under which the parties will provide one another certain transition services to facilitate both the separation of the MHPS business being disposed from the businesses being retained by the Company and the interim operations of the MHPS business being acquired by Konecranes.
SAPA and BCA Related Expenses
Terex incurred transaction costs directly related to the SAPA of $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which amounts are recorded in Income (loss) from discontinued operations - net of tax in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
The Company incurred transaction costs directly related to the BCA of $14.0 million and $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which is recorded in Other income (expense) - net in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
NOTE B – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Principles of Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Terex Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, applies the equity method of accounting for investments in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence, and applies the cost method for all other investments. All material intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.
Reclassification. In conjunction with the adoption of new accounting standards, certain prior year debt issuance costs as well as certain other amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation, for all periods presented.
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company reorganized the reportable segments to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities which resulted in the scrap material handling business in its former Construction segment being reassigned to its Materials Processing (“MP”) segment, certain non-operations related assets in the U.K. being reassigned from its former Construction segment to Corporate and Other category, and parts of its North America services business, which was formerly part of its Cranes segment being reassigned into its Aerial Work Platforms (“AWP”) and its former MHPS segments. Historical results have been reclassified to give effect to these changes.
Effective as of June 30, 2016, further adjustments were made to the Company’s reportable segments as a result of definitive agreements to sell portions of its business and reorganize the management structure of other portions of its business, as discussed below. On May 16, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its MHPS business to Konecranes. As a result, the former MHPS segment is reported in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for all periods presented, and in assets and liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and is no longer a reportable segment. During June and July of 2016, the Company entered into agreements to sell certain portions of its former Construction segment. As a result, concrete mixer trucks and concrete paver product lines from the former Construction segment have been reassigned to the Company’s MP segment and remaining product lines within the former Construction segment, such as loader backhoes and site dumpers, have been reassigned to the Corporate and Other category, as a result of changes in management responsibilities and reporting associated with these product lines. The effect of these changes has been shown in all periods presented.
On May 30, 2014, the Company sold its truck business, which was consolidated in its former Construction segment, to Volvo Construction Equipment for approximately $160 million. As a result, reporting of the truck business has been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
See Note A - “Sale of MHPS Business”, Note C - “Business Segment Information”, Note E - “Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale” and Note L - “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” for further information.
See discussion below for reclassification related to adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016 and 2015 include $6.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively, which were not immediately available for use. These consist primarily of cash balances held in escrow to secure various obligations of the Company.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (“LCM”) value. Cost is determined by the average cost and first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) methods (approximately 30% and 70%, respectively). In valuing inventory, the Company is required to make assumptions regarding the level of reserves required to value potentially obsolete or over-valued items at the lower of cost or market. These assumptions require the Company to analyze aging of and forecasted demand for its inventory, forecast future product sales prices, pricing trends and margins, and to make judgments and estimates regarding obsolete or excess inventory. Future product sales prices, pricing trends and margins are based on the best available information at that time including actual orders received, negotiations with the Company’s customers for future orders, including their plans for expenditures, and market trends for similar products. The Company’s judgments and estimates for excess or obsolete inventory are based on analysis of actual and forecasted usage. The valuation of used equipment taken in trade from customers requires the Company to use the best information available to determine the value of the equipment to potential customers. This value is subject to change based on numerous conditions. Inventory reserves are established taking into account age, frequency of use, or sale, and in the case of repair parts, the installed base of machines. While calculations are made involving these factors, significant management judgment regarding expectations for future events is involved. Future events that could significantly influence the Company’s judgment and related estimates include general economic conditions in markets where the Company’s products are sold, new equipment price fluctuations, actions of the Company’s competitors, including introduction of new products and technological advances, as well as new products and design changes the Company introduces. The Company makes adjustments to its inventory reserves based on the identification of specific situations and increases its inventory reserves accordingly. As further changes in future economic or industry conditions occur, the Company may revise estimates that were used to calculate its inventory reserves. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, reserves for LCM, excess and obsolete inventory totaled $83.3 million and $76.8 million, respectively.
If actual conditions are less favorable than those the Company has projected, the Company will increase its reserves for LCM, excess and obsolete inventory accordingly. Any increase in the Company’s reserves will adversely impact its results of operations. Establishment of a reserve for LCM, excess and obsolete inventory establishes a new cost basis in the inventory. Such reserves are not reduced until the product is sold.
Shipping and handling costs for product shipments to customers are recorded in Cost of goods sold (“COGS”).
Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred in securing the Company’s financing arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. As a result of the Company’s January 1, 2016 adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, “Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, (“ASU 2015-03”) on a retrospective basis, debt issuance costs related to senior notes and term loans are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the borrowing, consistent with debt discounts. Upon adoption, $21.1 million was reclassified from Other assets to Long-term debt, less current portion at December 31, 2015. Unamortized costs related to securing our revolving line of credit are presented in Other assets. Capitalized debt issuance costs related to debt that is extinguished early are charged to expense at the time of retirement. Debt issuance costs were $21.2 million and $26.3 million (net of accumulated amortization of $28.9 million and $23.5 million) at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets include purchased patents, trademarks, customer relationships and other specifically identifiable assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective estimated useful lives, which range from one to fifty-seven years. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances warrant.
Goodwill. Goodwill, representing the difference between total purchase price and fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at date of acquisition, is reviewed for impairment annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which recorded value of such assets and liabilities exceed fair value. The Company selected October 1 as the date for the required annual impairment test.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business for which discrete financial information with similar economic characteristics is available and the operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. AWP, Cranes, and MP operating segments, plus the Material Handling (“MH”) business and Port Solutions (“PS”) business of our former MHPS segment, which is a discontinued operation, comprise the five reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes.
We may elect to perform a qualitative analysis for our reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not that fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. If the qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or if we elect not to perform a qualitative analysis, we perform a quantitative analysis to determine whether a goodwill impairment exists.
The quantitative goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step process. The first step used to identify potential impairment involves comparing each reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company uses an income approach, along with other relevant market information, derived from a discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value of its reporting units. Aggregate fair value of the Company’s reporting units is compared to the Company’s market capitalization on the valuation date to assess its reasonableness. Initial recognition of goodwill, as well as the annual review of carrying value of goodwill, requires that the Company develop estimates of future business performance. These estimates are used to derive expected cash flows and include assumptions regarding future sales levels and level of working capital needed to support a given business. The Company relies on data developed by business segment management as well as macroeconomic data in making these calculations. The discounted cash flow model also includes a determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital by reporting unit. Cost of capital is based on assumptions about interest rates as well as a risk-adjusted rate of return required by the Company’s equity investors. Changes in these estimates can impact present value of expected cash flows that is used in determining fair value of a given business.
The second step of the process involves calculation of an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which step one indicated impairment. Implied fair value of goodwill is determined by measuring excess of estimated fair value of the reporting unit over estimated fair values of individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If implied fair value of goodwill exceeds carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit and the subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted.
As a result of the goodwill impairment tests performed as of October 1, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $176.0 million in our Cranes segment during the year ended December 31, 2016 and an impairment charge of $11.3 million in our former MHPS segment, which is a discontinued operation, during the year ended December 31, 2015. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded during 2014. See Note E – “Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale” and Note L – “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net”.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs not expected to extend the life of an asset beyond its normal useful life are charged to expense when incurred. Plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives (1-40 years and 2-20 years, respectively) of the assets under the straight-line method of depreciation for financial reporting purposes and both straight-line and other methods for tax purposes.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company’s policy is to assess the realizability of its long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if estimated future undiscounted cash flows is less than carrying value. If an impairment is indicated, the assets are written down to their fair value, which is typically determined by a discounted cash flow analysis. Future cash flow projections include assumptions for future sales levels and the level of working capital needed to support the assets. The Company uses data developed by business segment management as well as macroeconomic data in making these calculations. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value of the asset. Included in Selling, general & administrative expenses (“SG&A”) are approximately $41.2 million of asset impairments for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The impairment charges recognized during 2016 include a $16.6 million charge in Corporate and Other to write off information technology assets related to cessation of implementation efforts in several locations and $17.4 million in the Company’s Cranes segment for restructuring and facility exit activities. The Company also recorded a $20.5 million impairment charge in Other income (expense) - net to recognize impairment of a cost-basis investment. See Note N – “Restructuring and Other Charges” for information on asset impairments recorded as part of restructuring activities.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical customer review and current financial conditions. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts at least quarterly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. There can be no assurance that the Company’s historical accounts receivable collection experience will be indicative of future results. The Company has off-balance sheet credit exposure related to guarantees provided to financial institutions as disclosed in Note S – “Litigation and Contingencies.” Substantially all receivables were trade receivables at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Pursuant to terms of the Company’s trade accounts receivable factoring arrangements, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries may sell their trade accounts receivable. In certain cases, the Company continues to service such accounts. These trade receivables qualify for sales treatment under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860, “Transfers and Servicing” (“ASC 860”) and accordingly, the proceeds are included in net cash provided by operating activities. The gross amount of trade receivables sold for years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $620.4 million and $54.1 million, respectively. There were no trade receivables sold for the year ended December 31, 2014. The factoring discount paid upon sale is recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). As of December 31, 2016, $64.3 million of receivables qualifying for sale treatment were outstanding and will continue to be serviced by us.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue and related costs are generally recorded when products are shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated dealers or to end-customers.
Revenue generated in the United States is recognized when title and risk of loss pass from the Company to its customers which generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the shipping terms negotiated. The Company also has a policy which requires it to meet certain criteria in order to recognize revenue, including satisfaction of the following requirements:
a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;
b) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;
c) Collectability is reasonably assured; and
d) The Company has no significant obligations for future performance.
In the United States, the Company has the ability to enter into a security agreement and receive a security interest in the product by filing an appropriate Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statement. However, a significant portion of the Company’s revenue is generated outside of the United States. In many countries outside of the United States, as a matter of statutory law, a seller retains title to a product until payment is made. The laws do not provide for a seller’s retention of a security interest in goods in the same manner as established in the UCC. In these countries, the Company retains title to goods delivered to a customer until the customer makes payment so that the Company can recover the goods in the event of customer default on payment. In these circumstances, where the Company only retains title to secure its recovery in the event of customer default, the Company also has a policy requiring it to meet certain criteria in order to recognize revenue, including satisfaction of the following requirements:
a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;
b) Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
c) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;
d) Collectability is reasonably assured;
e) The Company has no significant obligations for future performance; and
f) The Company is not entitled to direct the disposition of the goods, cannot rescind the transaction, cannot prohibit the customer from moving, selling, or otherwise using the goods in the ordinary course of business and has no other rights of holding title that rest with a titleholder of property that is subject to a lien under the UCC.
In circumstances where the sales transaction requires acceptance by the customer for items such as testing on site, installation, trial period or performance criteria, revenue is not recognized unless the following criteria have been met:
a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;
b) Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
c) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;
d) Collectability is reasonably assured; and
e) The customer has given their acceptance, the time period has elapsed or the Company has otherwise objectively demonstrated that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions have been satisfied.
In addition to performance commitments, the Company analyzes factors such as the reason for the purchase to determine if revenue should be recognized. This analysis is done before the product is shipped and includes the evaluation of factors that may affect the conclusion related to the revenue recognition criteria as follows:
a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;
b) Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
c) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
d) Collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue from sales-type leases is recognized at the inception of the lease. Income from operating leases is recognized ratably over the term of the lease. The Company routinely sells equipment subject to operating leases and related lease payments. If the Company does not retain a substantial risk of ownership in the equipment, the transaction is recorded as a sale. If the Company does retain a substantial risk of ownership, the transaction is recorded as a borrowing, the operating lease payments are recognized as revenue over the term of the lease and the debt is amortized over a similar period.
The Company, from time to time, issues buyback guarantees in conjunction with certain sales agreements. These primarily relate to trade value agreements (“TVAs”) in which a customer may trade in equipment in the future at a stated price/credit if the customer meets certain conditions. The trade-in price/credit is determined at the time of the original sale of equipment. In conjunction with the trade-in, these conditions include a requirement to purchase new equipment at fair market value at the time of trade-in, which fair value is required to be of equal or greater value than the original equipment cost. Other conditions also include the general functionality and state of repair of the machine. The Company has concluded that any credit provided to customers under a TVA/buyback guarantee, which is expected to be equal to or less than the fair value of the equipment returned on the trade-in date, is a guarantee to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 460, “Guarantees” (“ASC 460”).
The original sale of equipment, accompanied by a buyback guarantee, is a multiple element transaction wherein the Company offers its customer the right, after some period of time, for a limited period of time, to exchange purchased equipment for a fixed price trade-in credit toward another of our products. The fixed price trade-in credit is accounted for under the guidance provided by ASC 460. Pursuant to this right, the Company has agreed to make a payment (in the form of a trade-in credit) to the customer contingent upon the customer exercising its right to trade in the original purchased equipment. Under the guidance of ASC 460, the Company records the fixed price trade-in credit at its fair value. Accordingly, as noted above, the Company has accounted for the trade-in credit as a separate deliverable in a multiple element arrangement.
When a sales transaction includes multiple deliverables, such as sales of multiple products or sales of products and services that are delivered over multiple reporting periods, the multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine the units of accounting, and the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each unit of accounting based on the relative selling price. The selling price of a unit of accounting is determined using a selling price hierarchy. Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) is established based upon the price charged for products and services that are sold separately in standalone transactions. If VSOE cannot be established, third-party evidence (“TPE”) is evaluated based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. If neither VSOE or TPE is available, management's best estimate of selling price is established based upon the price at which the Company would sell the product on a standalone basis taking into consideration factors including, but not limited to, internal costs, gross margin objectives, pricing practices and market conditions. Revenue is recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each unit of accounting are met.
Guarantees. The Company records a liability for the estimated fair value of guarantees issued pursuant to ASC 460. The Company recognizes a loss under a guarantee when its obligation to make payment under the guarantee is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. A loss would be recognized if the Company’s payment obligation under the guarantee exceeds the value it can expect to recover to offset such payment, primarily through the sale of the equipment underlying the guarantee.
Accrued Warranties. The Company records accruals for potential warranty claims based on its claim experience. The Company’s products are typically sold with a standard warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period. Each business provides a warranty specific to the products it offers. The specific warranty offered by a business is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. Warranty length is generally a fixed period of time, a fixed number of operating hours, or both.
A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. The non-current portion of the warranty accrual is included in Other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability is established using historical warranty claims experience for each product sold. Historical claims experience may be adjusted for known design improvements or for the impact of unusual product quality issues. Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may affect the potential warranty liability.
The following table summarizes the changes in the consolidated product warranty liability (in millions):
|
| | | |
Balance as of December 31, 2014 | $ | 57.2 |
|
Accruals for warranties issued during the period | 63.2 |
|
Changes in estimates | (1.3 | ) |
Settlements during the year | (64.0 | ) |
Foreign exchange effect/other | (2.1 | ) |
Balance as of December 31, 2015 | 53.0 |
|
Accruals for warranties issued during the period | 72.4 |
|
Changes in estimates | (2.3 | ) |
Settlements during the year | (58.1 | ) |
Foreign exchange effect/other | (5.2 | ) |
Balance as of December 31, 2016 | $ | 59.8 |
|
Accrued Product Liability. The Company records accruals for product liability claims when deemed probable and estimable based on facts and circumstances, and prior claims experience. Accruals for product liability claims are valued based upon the Company’s prior claims experience, including consideration of the jurisdiction, circumstances of the accident, type of loss or injury, identity of plaintiff, other potential responsible parties, analysis of outside legal counsel, analysis of internal product liability counsel and the experience of the Company’s director of product safety. Actual product liability costs could be different due to a number of variables such as the decisions of juries or judges.
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits. The Company provides post-retirement benefits to certain former salaried and hourly employees and certain hourly employees covered by bargaining unit contracts that provide such benefits. The Company accounts for these benefits under ASC 715, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits” (“ASC 715”). ASC 715 requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and post-retirement benefit plans. Under ASC 715, actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting standards must be recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. See Note Q – “Retirement Plans and Other Benefits.”
Deferred Compensation. The Company maintains a Deferred Compensation Plan, which is described more fully in Note Q – “Retirement Plans and Other Benefits.” The Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) held in a rabbi trust pursuant to the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, is treated in a manner similar to treasury stock and is recorded at cost within Stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The plan obligations for participant deferrals in the Company’s Common Stock are classified as Additional paid-in capital within Stockholders’ equity. The total of the Company’s Common Stock required to settle this deferred compensation obligation is included in the denominator in both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
Stock-Based Compensation. At December 31, 2016, the Company had stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note R – “Stockholders’ Equity.” The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, “Compensation–Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires that expense resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements at fair value.
Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s non-U.S. operations are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. For operations whose functional currency is the local currency, translation adjustments are recorded in the Accumulated other comprehensive income component of Stockholders’ equity. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded in the accounts based on the underlying transaction.
Derivatives. Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or Accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income are included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. See Note M – “Derivative Financial Instruments.”
Environmental Policies. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are either expensed or capitalized depending on the nature of the expenditure. Expenditures relating to conditions caused by past operations that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial actions are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such amounts were not material at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Research, Development and Engineering Costs. Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to existing products are included in SG&A. Research and development costs were $86.2 million, $89.7 million and $102.3 million during 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. See Note D – “Income Taxes.”
Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to Terex Corporation for the period by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to Terex Corporation for the period by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and potential dilutive common shares. See Note F – “Earnings Per Share.”
Fair Value Measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis under the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”), include interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts discussed in Note M – “Derivative Financial Instruments.” These contracts are valued using a market approach, which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for those instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within this hierarchy requires judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive. ASU 2014-09 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. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date”, which amends ASU 2014-09. As a result, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.
Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”); ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” (“ASU 2016-12”); and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2016-20”), which are intended to provide additional guidance and clarity to ASU 2014-09. The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 along with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “New Revenue Standards”).
The New Revenue Standards may be applied using one of two retrospective application methods: (1) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented, or (2) a modified retrospective approach that presents a cumulative effect as of the adoption date and additional required disclosures. The Company expects to adopt the New Revenue Standards in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and is in the process of completing its initial analysis identifying the revenue streams that will be impacted by the adoption of this new standard and the impact to its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a one year period subsequent to the date of issuance of its financial statements. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company adopted ASU 2014-15 during the fourth quarter of 2016. Adoption did not require additional disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by using only the lower of cost or net realizable value. The ASU defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 with early adoption permitted. The ASU should be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". The amendments in ASU 2015-17 eliminate the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet and instead require all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 as of January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis, which resulted in the reclassification of the Company’s current deferred tax assets and current deferred tax liabilities to non-current deferred tax assets or non-current deferred tax liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted. Included in Prepaid and other current assets at December 31, 2015 is $49.6 million of deferred tax assets and included in Other current liabilities at December 31, 2015 is $8.5 million of deferred tax liabilities.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-05”). ASU 2016-05 provides guidance clarifying that novation of a derivative contract (i.e., a change in counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedge accounting relationship. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by clarifying that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323),” (“ASU 2016-07”). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the retroactive adjustments to an investment qualifying for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence by the investor. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares to be presented as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, with retrospective application required. As a result, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows has been adjusted such that net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 increased by $10.1 million, $14.6 million and $19.2 million, respectively, with a corresponding increase to net cash used in financing activities. Except for the adjustment noted above, the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The guidance in this new standard replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting by clarifying existing principles in ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and provides specific guidance on certain cash flow classification issues. The effective date for ASU 2016-15 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-15 will be applied retrospectively and may modify the Company's current disclosures and reclassifications within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, but is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory,” (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (excluding inventory) when the transfer occurs. This is a change from existing GAAP which prohibits recognition of current and deferred income taxes until the asset is sold to a third party. The effective date for ASU 2016-16 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. Adoption will be applied on a modified retrospective basis, which could result in a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash,” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires a statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Adoption will not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides guidance in ascertaining whether a collection of assets and activities is considered a business. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted in 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The elimination of tax from intercompany transactions is included in current tax expense. Including discontinued operations and disposition of discontinued operations, the total (benefit from) provision for income taxes was $(66.5) million, $82.1 million and $45.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences in the bases of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of the basis differences and loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 for continuing operations are summarized below for major balance sheet captions (in millions):

Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) | | $ | 181.8 |

|
Deferred tax assets for continuing operations total $331.3 million before valuation allowances of $148.6 million, partially offset by deferred tax liabilities for continuing operations of $0.9 million at December 31, 2016. There were $19.7 million total deferred tax assets, partially offset by total deferred tax liabilities of $3.7 million for discontinued operations at December 31, 2016, and $2.9 million total deferred tax assets, partially offset by total deferred tax liabilities of $17.1 million for discontinued operations at December 31, 2015.
The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its deferred tax assets each reporting period. The Company must consider all objective evidence, both positive and negative, in evaluating the future realization of its deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards. Historical information is supplemented by currently available information about future tax years. Realization of deferred tax assets requires sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character. To the extent estimates of future taxable income decrease or do not materialize, additional valuation allowances may be required. The Company records a valuation allowance for each deferred tax asset for which realization is not assessed as more likely than not. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $148.6 million and $215.1 million, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was a decrease of $66.5 million and a decrease of $28.9 million, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company released the valuation allowances for its German and Italian subsidiaries due to its change in judgment regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets in Germany and Italy. The change in judgment was due to the Disposition, recent earnings history, and expected future income supporting the more likely than not assessment that the deferred tax assets will be realized. As of December 31, 2015, the Company determined that it was appropriate to retain its valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of its Italian subsidiaries, although it was reasonably possible that, in the near term, continuing improvement in operating performance and other positive evidence could change the Company’s assessment of the realizability of the Italian deferred tax assets resulting in the reversal of all, or part of, the related valuation allowance.
The Company’s Provision for (benefit from) income taxes is different from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. The reasons for the difference are summarized as follows (in millions):

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the effective tax rate was reduced due to tax expense associated with the Disposition, which changed expectations concerning the indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings. The effective tax rate on gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations in 2014 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the majority of gains from the sale of the truck business not being subject to tax.
The Company received tax incentives in certain jurisdictions, some of which are expected to extend through 2020. The Company received no tax benefits in continuing operations ($0.8 million of tax benefits in discontinued operations) for the year ended December 31, 2016, received $7.0 million and $0.8 million of tax benefits in continuing operations ($1.2 million and $0.1 million of tax benefits in discontinued operations) for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Except for a limited number of immaterial subsidiaries and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, the Company does not provide for foreign income and withholding, U.S. Federal, or state income taxes or tax benefits on the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of its investments in foreign subsidiaries because such amounts are indefinitely reinvested to support operations and continued growth plans outside the U.S. As a result of the Disposition, the Company repatriated approximately $1 billion of foreign earnings that were previously intended to be permanently reinvested. At December 31, 2016, the Company’s remaining unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiary ownership chains that have positive retained earnings was approximately $251 million. The Company reviews its plan to indefinitely reinvest on a quarterly basis. In making its decision to indefinitely reinvest, the Company evaluates its plans of reinvestment, its ability to control repatriation and to mobilize funds without triggering basis differences, and the profitability of U.S. operations and their cash requirements and the need, if any, to repatriate funds. If the assessment of the Company with respect to earnings of foreign subsidiaries changes, deferred U.S. income taxes, foreign income taxes, and foreign withholding taxes may have to be accrued. At this time, determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the investment in foreign subsidiaries is not practicable.
At December 31, 2016, the Company has various state net operating loss carry forwards available to reduce future state taxable income and income taxes. These net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through 2036. In addition, the gross amount of the U.S. federal capital loss carryforward is $72.4 million which expires in 2019.
At December 31, 2016, the Company has approximately $529 million of loss carry forwards, consisting of $150 million in Germany, $130 million in Italy, $66 million in the United Kingdom, $47 million in China, $48 million in Switzerland, and $88 million in other countries, which are available to offset future taxable income. The majority of these tax loss carry forwards are available without expiration. In addition, the gross amount of the Australian capital loss carryforward is $27 million, and it has an unlimited carryforward period.
The Company had total net income tax payments including discontinued operations of $52.8 million, $67.6 million and $124.1 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, Other current assets included net income tax receivable amounts of $22.6 million and $42.7 million respectively.
The Company and its subsidiaries conduct business globally and file income tax returns in U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, as required. From a tax perspective, major jurisdictions where the Company is often subject to examination by tax authorities include Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the U.S. Currently, various entities of the Company are under audit in Germany, Italy, the U.S. and elsewhere. With few exceptions, including certain subsidiaries in Germany that are under audit, the statute of limitations for the Company and most of its subsidiaries has expired for tax years prior to 2011. The Company assesses uncertain tax positions for recognition, measurement and effective settlement. Where the Company has determined that its tax return filing position does not satisfy the more likely than not recognition threshold of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” it has recorded no tax benefits. Where the Company has determined that its tax return filing positions are more likely than not to be sustained, the Company has measured and recorded the largest amount of tax benefit greater than 50% likely to be realized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to income taxes as (Provision for) benefit from income taxes in its Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s total (including discontinued operations) unrecognized tax benefits (in millions). Amounts in 2014 have been adjusted to eliminate the impact of offsets, which are immaterial:

As a result of the Disposition, the Company expects that the ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2016 will be reduced by approximately $29 million.
The Company evaluates each reporting period whether it is reasonably possible that material changes to its uncertain tax position liability could occur in the next 12 months. Changes may occur as a result of uncertain tax positions being considered effectively settled, re-measured, paid, acquired or divested, as a result of a change in accounting rules, tax law or judicial decision, or due to expiration of the relevant statute of limitations. It is not possible to predict which uncertain tax positions, if any, may be challenged by tax authorities. The timing and impact of income tax audits and their resolution is highly uncertain. New facts, laws, pronouncements and judicial decisions can change assessments concerning technical merit and measurement. The amounts of or periods in which changes to reserves for uncertain tax positions will occur is rarely ascertainable. Of the balances remaining after the Disposition, the Company believes it is reasonably possible the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits disclosed as of December 31, 2016 may decrease approximately $21 million (approximately $2 million related to discontinued operations) in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. Such possible decrease relates primarily to audit settlements, transfer pricing, deductibility issues and expiration of statutes of limitation.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $59.8 million and $69.4 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits. Of the $59.8 million at December 31, 2016, $26.5 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the liability for potential interest and penalties was $12.9 million and $13.9 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized tax (benefit) expense of $(1.0) million and $1.0 million for interest and penalties, respectively.
NOTE E – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
MHPS
On January 4, 2017, the Company completed the disposition of its MHPS business to Konecranes. See Note A - “Sale of MHPS Business” for further information on the Disposition. The Disposition represents a significant strategic shift in the Company’s business away from universal, process, mobile harbor and ship-to-shore cranes that will have a major effect on the Company’s future operating results, primarily because the MHPS business represented the entirety of one of the Company’s five previous reportable operating segments and comprised two of the Company’s six previous reporting units, representing a significant portion of the Company’s revenues and assets, and is therefore accounted for as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. MHPS products include universal cranes, process cranes and components, such as rope hoists, chain hoists, light crane systems, travel units and electric motors, primarily for industrial applications, and mobile harbor cranes, ship-to-shore gantry cranes, rubber tired and rail mounted gantry cranes, straddle carriers, sprinter carriers, reach stackers, container handlers, general cargo lift trucks, automated stacking cranes, automated guided vehicles and software solutions for logistics terminals.
As a result of the SAPA, the Company determined that the previously unrecognized deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the MHPS subsidiaries are more likely than not to be realized in the foreseeable future. The effective tax rate on income from discontinued operations in 2016 differs from the statutory rate, in part, due to the recognition of these deferred taxes.
Trucks
On May 30, 2014, the Company sold its truck business, which was previously consolidated in the Construction segment, to Volvo Construction Equipment for approximately $160 million. The truck business manufactured and sold off-highway rigid and articulated haul trucks. Included in the transaction was a manufacturing facility in Motherwell, Scotland.
Due to this divestiture, reporting of the truck business has been included in discontinued operations for all applicable periods presented.
Cash flows from the Company’s discontinued operations are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations
The following amounts related to discontinued operations were derived from historical financial information and have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) (in millions):

As a result of goodwill impairment tests performed as of October 1, 2016, 2015 and 2014 for the MHPS business, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $11 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded during 2016 and 2014, respectively.
As a result of impairment tests performed in 2016, 2015 and 2014 for indefinite-lived tradenames in the MHPS business, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of approximately $3 million and $23 million during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company developed estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions critical to the process included forecasted financial information, discount rates and royalty rates. The estimates of fair value of indefinite-lived tradenames were based on the best information currently available. Fair value determination is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note B - “Basis of Presentation”, for the definition of Level 3 input. There was no indefinite-lived tradenames impairment during 2014.
Cranes
As part of the transformation and improvement of its Cranes segment, the Company is actively seeking a buyer for a portion of its cranes business located in South America and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities are reported as held for sale at December 31, 2016. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.6 million to adjust net asset value to estimated fair value.
Construction
In December 2016, the Company entered an agreement to sell its Coventry, UK-based compact construction product line. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2017. In addition, the Company is actively seeking a buyer for certain other construction product lines and expects to reach an agreement in 2017. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $3.5 million to adjust the net asset value of these other construction product lines to estimated fair value. The operating results for these construction product lines are reported in continuing operations, within the Corporate and Other category in our segment disclosures, and the assets and liabilities are reported as held for sale at December 31, 2016.
Assets and liabilities held for sale
Assets and liabilities held for sale consist of the Company’s former MHPS segment, portions of its Cranes segment and portions of its former Construction Segment. Such assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale upon meeting the requirements of ASC 360 - “Property, Plant and Equipment”, and are recorded at lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets are no longer depreciated once classified as held for sale.

Weighted average options to purchase 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), were outstanding during 2016, 2015 and 2014, but were not included in the computation of diluted shares as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Weighted average restricted stock awards of 1.5 million shares, 0.9 million shares and 0.4 million shares were outstanding during 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted shares because the effect would be anti-dilutive or performance targets were not yet achieved for awards contingent upon performance. ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” requires that employee stock options and non-vested restricted shares granted by the Company be treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted earnings per share. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares. The Company includes the impact of pro forma deferred tax assets in determining the amount of tax benefits for potential windfalls and shortfalls (the differences between tax deductions and book expense) in this calculation.
In connection with settlement of the 4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes the Company issued 3.4 million shares of common stock in June 2015. See Note O – “Long-Term Obligations.” Included in the computation of diluted shares for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 1.4 million shares that were contingently issuable prior to conversion. The number of shares that were contingently issuable for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 3.4 million.
NOTE G – FINANCE RECEIVABLES
TFS leases equipment and provides financing to customers for the purchase and use of Terex equipment. In the normal course of business, TFS assesses credit risk, establishes structure and pricing of financing transactions, documents the finance receivable, and records and funds the transactions. TFS bills and collects cash from the end customer.
TFS primarily conducts on-book business in the U.S., with limited business in China, the United Kingdom, and Germany. TFS does business with various types of customers consisting of rental houses, end user customers and Terex equipment dealers.
The Company’s net finance receivable balances include both sales-type leases and commercial loans. Finance receivables that management intends to hold until maturity are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan losses as well as any deferred fees and costs. Finance receivables originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, in the aggregate. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 the Company transferred finance receivables of $290.5 million, $81.9 million and $308.2 million, respectively, to third party financial institutions, which qualified for sales treatment under ASC 860. At December 31, 2016, the Company had $4.7 million of held for sale finance receivables recorded in Prepaid and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Revenue attributable to finance receivables management intends to hold until maturity is recognized on the accrual basis using the effective interest method. TFS bills customers and accrues interest income monthly on the unpaid principal balance. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has significant doubts about further collectibility of contractual payments, even though the loan may be currently performing. A receivable may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or secured. Interest received on non-accrual finance receivables is typically applied against principal. Finance receivables are generally restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current and the borrower has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The Company has a history of enforcing the terms of these separate financing agreements.

Approximately $74 million of finance receivables are recorded in Prepaid and other current assets and approximately $162 million are recorded in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Credit losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management ceases active collection efforts. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to earnings. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level set by management which represents evaluation of known and inherent risks in the portfolio at the consolidated balance sheet date. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, market-based loss experience, specific customer situations, estimated value of any underlying collateral, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, since it requires estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. Although specific and general loss allowances are established in accordance with management’s best estimate, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to or decreases from the level of loss allowances may be necessary.
The following table presents an analysis of the allowance for credit losses:

The Company utilizes a two tier approach to set allowances: (1) identification of impaired finance receivables and establishment of specific loss allowances on such receivables; and (2) establishment of general loss allowances on the remainder of its portfolio. Specific loss allowances are established based on circumstances and factors of specific receivables. The Company regularly reviews the portfolio which allows for early identification of potentially impaired receivables. The process takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, type of collateral and other factors specific to the borrower.
General loss allowance levels are determined based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, TFS experience, general market loss experience, performance of the portfolio, current economic conditions, and management's judgment. The two primary risk characteristics inherent in the portfolio are (1) the customer's ability to meet contractual payment terms, and (2) the liquidation values of the underlying primary and secondary collaterals. The Company records a general or unallocated loss allowance that is calculated by applying the reserve rate to its portfolio, including the unreserved balance of accounts that have been specifically reserved for. All delinquent accounts are reviewed for potential impairment. A receivable is deemed to be impaired when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the balance outstanding and the underlying collateral value of the equipment being financed, as well as any other collateral. All finance receivables identified as impaired are evaluated individually. Generally, the Company does not change the terms and conditions of existing finance receivables.

Credit Quality Information
Credit quality is reviewed periodically based on customers’ payment status. In addition to delinquency status, any information received regarding a customer (such as bankruptcy filings, etc.) will also be considered to determine the credit quality of the customer. Collateral asset values are also monitored regularly to determine the potential loss exposures on any given transaction.
The Company uses the following internal credit quality indicators, based on an internal risk rating system, using certain external credit data, listed from the lowest level of risk to highest level of risk. The internal rating system considers factors affecting specific borrowers’ ability to repay.

(1) Includes a $17.9 million reclassification of goodwill from Cranes to discontinued operations, and a $0.9 million reclassification of goodwill from Cranes to AWP as a result of segment realignments. See Note C - “Business Segment Information”.
(2) During the second quarter of 2016 the Company wrote off $132.8 million of fully impaired goodwill associated with its former Construction segment.
As part of our annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2016, we elected to perform a quantitative analysis (“Step 1”) on the AWP, Cranes and MP reporting units, to determine whether it is more likely than not that fair value exceeds carrying value for these reporting units. Based on the results of our Step 1 analysis, we determined that it is more likely than not that fair value exceeds carrying value for the AWP and MP reporting units. However, we concluded in our Step 1 analysis that the estimated fair value of our Cranes reporting unit was lower than carrying value.
Step 2 of the analysis requires us to perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for our Cranes reporting unit to determine implied fair value of goodwill and to compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the recorded amount of goodwill. Upon completion of Step 2 of the test, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $176.0 million. This impairment charge is recorded in Goodwill impairment in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
The outcome of any prospective tests may result in recording additional goodwill impairment charges in future periods.

NOTE M – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into two types of derivatives to hedge its interest rate exposure and foreign currency exposure: hedges of fair value exposures and hedges of cash flow exposures. Fair value exposures relate to recognized assets or liabilities and firm commitments, while cash flow exposures relate to the variability of future cash flows associated with recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions.
The Company operates internationally, with manufacturing and sales facilities in various locations around the world, and uses certain financial instruments to manage its foreign currency, interest rate and fair value exposures. To qualify a derivative as a hedge at inception and throughout the hedge period, the Company formally documents the nature and relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and the method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction will occur. If it is deemed probable the forecasted transaction will not occur, then the gain or loss would be recognized in current earnings. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period. The Company does not engage in trading or other speculative use of financial instruments.
The Company has used and may use forward contracts and options to mitigate its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on third party and intercompany forecasted transactions. Primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the Euro, British Pound and Australian Dollar. The effective portion of unrealized gains and losses associated with forward contracts and the intrinsic value of option contracts are deferred as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until the underlying hedged transactions are reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
The Company has used and may use interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to changes in interest rates related to existing issuances of variable rate debt and changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt. Primary exposure includes movements in the U.S. prime rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The effective portion of interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is deferred in AOCI and is recognized in earnings as hedged transactions occur. Changes in fair value associated with contracts deemed ineffective are recognized in earnings immediately.
In the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss), the Company records hedging activity related to debt instruments and hedging activity related to foreign currency in the accounts for which the hedged items are recorded. On the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company presents cash flows from hedging activities in the same manner as it records the underlying item being hedged.
The Company is party to currency exchange forward contracts that generally mature within one year to manage its exposure to changing currency exchange rates. At December 31, 2016, the Company had $245.5 million notional amount of currency exchange forward contracts outstanding that were initially designated as hedge contracts, most of which mature on or before December 31, 2017. The fair market value of these contracts at December 31, 2016 was a net loss of $2.6 million. At December 31, 2016, $194.0 million notional amount ($2.7 million of fair value losses) of these forward contracts have been designated as, and are effective as, cash flow hedges of forecasted and specifically identified transactions. During 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded the change in fair value for these cash flow hedges to AOCI and reclassified to earnings a portion of the deferred gain or loss from AOCI as the hedged transactions occurred and were recognized in earnings.
The Company records foreign exchange contracts at fair value on a recurring basis. The foreign exchange contracts designated as hedging instruments are categorized under Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy and are recorded at December 31, 2016 and 2015 as a net liability of $2.6 million and a net asset of $3.1 million, respectively. See Note B – “Basis of Presentation,” for an explanation of the ASC 820 hierarchy. Fair values of these foreign exchange forward contracts are derived using quoted forward foreign exchange prices to interpolate values of outstanding trades at the reporting date based on their maturities.
The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on third party and intercompany forecasted transactions and balance sheet exposures. Certain of these contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments. The majority of gains and losses recognized from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments were offset by changes in the underlying hedged items, resulting in no material net impact on earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized as gains or losses in Cost of goods sold or Other income (expense) - net in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
Concurrent with the 2014 sale of a majority stake in A.S.V., Inc. to Manitex International, Inc. (“Manitex”), the Company invested in a subordinated convertible promissory note from Manitex, which included an embedded derivative, the conversion feature. At the date of issuance, the embedded derivative was measured at fair value. The derivative is categorized under Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy and marked-to-market each period with changes in fair value recorded in Other income (expense) - net in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
The Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements to offset the variability of cash flows due to changes in the floating rate of borrowings under its Securitization Facility, which was terminated on May 31, 2016. See Note O – “Long-Term Obligations,” for additional information on the Securitization Facility. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of the changes in the cash flows of interest rate payments on debt associated with changes in floating interest rates. Changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments were recognized as gains or losses in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). The Company recorded these contracts at fair value on a recurring basis. At December 31, 2016 the Company had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding, because it terminated the Securitization Facility and concurrently settled its outstanding interest rate swap contracts. The interest rate swap contracts designated as hedging instruments were categorized under Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy and were recorded at December 31, 2015 as a net asset of $0.2 million. The fair value of these contracts was derived using quoted interest rate swap prices at the reporting date based on their maturities.
During 2016, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, with notional value of $100.0 million, in connection with the sale of MHPS to Konecranes to hedge against its exposure to changes in the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate, as part of the proceeds from sale was received in Euros. The derivatives are categorized under Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy and fair value is derived using quoted forward foreign exchange prices to interpolate values of outstanding trades at the reporting date based on their maturities. Fair value measurement resulted in a gain of $2.0 million recorded in Other income (expense) - net in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

NOTE N – RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
The Company continually evaluates its cost structure to be appropriately positioned to respond to changing market conditions. From time to time the Company may initiate certain restructuring programs to better utilize its workforce and optimize facility utilization to match the demand for its products.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company established a restructuring program in the MP segment to close one of its manufacturing facilities in the U.S., consolidate production with other U.S. sites and exit the hand-fed chipper line of products. By consolidating operations, the Company has optimized its use of resources, eliminated areas of duplication and operates more efficiently and effectively. The program cost $0.9 million, resulted in a reduction of 38 team members and was completed in 2015.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company established a restructuring program across multiple operating segments to centralize transaction processing and accounting functions into shared service centers. The program cost $0.9 million, resulted in the reduction of 69 team members and was completed in 2016. The segment breakdown of this program cost is as follows: Cranes ($0.8 million) and MP ($0.1 million).
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company established restructuring programs in its Cranes segment to transfer production between existing facilities and close certain facilities in order to maximize labor efficiencies and reduce overhead costs, and incurred $76.9 million of expense. The programs are expected to cost $79.9 million, result in the reduction of approximately 1,260 team members and be completed in 2018.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company established restructuring programs in Corporate and Other to consolidate facilities, and incurred $2.9 million of expense. The programs are expected to cost $2.9 million, result in the reduction of approximately 32 team members and be completed in 2017.

2014 Credit Agreement
On January 31, 2017, in connection with the 2017 Credit Agreement (as defined below), the Company terminated its 2014 Credit Agreement (as defined below), among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders thereunder and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and related agreements and documents.
On August 13, 2014 the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent. In connection with the 2014 Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its existing amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of August 5, 2011, as amended (the “2011 Credit Agreement”), among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders thereunder and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and related agreements and documents.
The 2014 Credit Agreement provided the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $600 million that was available through August 13, 2019, a $230.0 million senior secured term loan and a €200.0 million senior secured term loan, which both matured on August 13, 2021. The 2014 Credit Agreement allowed unlimited incremental commitments, which could be extended at the option of the existing or new lenders and could be in the form of revolving credit commitments, term loan commitments, or a combination of both as long as the Company satisfied a senior secured debt financial ratio contained in the 2014 Credit Agreement.
The 2014 Credit Agreement required the Company to comply with a number of covenants. The covenants limited, in certain circumstances, the Company’s ability to take a variety of actions, including but not limited to: incurring indebtedness; creating or maintaining liens on its property or assets; making investments, loans and advances; repurchasing shares of its Common Stock; engaging in acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and asset sales; redeeming debt; and paying dividends and distributions. On May 29, 2015, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the 2014 Credit Agreement which lowered the interest rate on the Company’s €200.0 million Euro denominated term loan from Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 3.25% with a 0.75% EURIBOR floor to EURIBOR plus 2.75% with a 0.75% EURIBOR floor. On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the 2014 Credit Agreement, with the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Amendment, among other things, waived the requirement that the Company and its restricted subsidiaries receive at least 75% of the consideration from the SAPA in the form of cash and cash equivalents. The Amendment also provided the Company with additional flexibility to not use the net cash proceeds from the SAPA to prepay the term loans, although it did require the Company to use $300 million of the net cash proceeds received from the SAPA, within 60 days of receipt thereof, to reduce its outstanding senior indebtedness. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $0.3 million of costs related to the Amendment (see Note A - “Sale of MHPS Business”).
If the Company’s borrowings under its revolving line of credit were greater than 30% of the total revolving credit commitments, the 2014 Credit Agreement required the Company to comply with certain financial tests, as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement. If applicable, the minimum required levels of the interest coverage ratio would be 2.5 to 1.0 and the maximum permitted levels of the senior secured leverage ratio would be 2.75 to 1.0.
The 2014 Credit Agreement contained customary default provisions and had various non-financial covenants, both requiring the Company to refrain from taking certain future actions (as described above) and requiring the Company to take certain actions, such as keeping its corporate existence in good standing, maintaining insurance, and providing its bank lending group with financial information on a timely basis.
In connection with termination of the 2011 Credit Agreement, the Company recorded charges of $0.1 million and $2.6 million for accelerated amortization of debt acquisition costs and original issue discount as a loss on early extinguishment of debt for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $428.6 million and $439.2 million, respectively, in U.S. dollar and Euro denominated term loans outstanding under its 2014 Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on the term loans at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was 3.63% and 3.50%, respectively. The Company had no outstanding revolving credit amounts as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
The 2014 Credit Agreement incorporated facilities for issuance of letters of credit up to $400 million. Letters of credit issued under the 2014 Credit Agreement letter of credit facility decreased availability under the $600 million revolving line of credit. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no letters of credit issued under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The 2014 Credit Agreement also permitted the Company to have additional letter of credit facilities up to $300 million, and letters of credit issued under such additional facilities did not decrease availability under the revolving line of credit. The Company had letters of credit issued under the additional letter of credit facilities of the 2014 Credit Agreement that totaled $36.8 million and $21.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The Company also has bilateral arrangements to issue letters of credit with various other financial institutions. These additional letters of credit did not reduce the Company’s availability under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The Company had letters of credit issued under these additional arrangements of $146.4 million ($121.4 million related to discontinued operations) and $189.7 million ($153.6 million related to discontinued operations) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
In total, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $183.2 million ($121.4 million related to discontinued operations) and $210.9 million ($153.6 million related to discontinued operations), respectively. The letters of credit generally serve as collateral for certain liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain letters of credit serve as collateral guaranteeing the Company’s performance under contracts.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries agreed to take certain actions to secure borrowings under the 2014 Credit Agreement. As a result, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with Credit Suisse, as collateral agent for the lenders, granting security to the lenders for amounts borrowed under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The Company was required to (a) pledge as collateral the capital stock of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries, and (b) provide a first priority security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets.
6-1/2% Senior Notes
On March 27, 2012, the Company sold and issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes Due 2020 (“6-1/2% Notes”) at par. The proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes. The 6-1/2% Notes are redeemable by the Company beginning in April 2016 at an initial redemption price of 103.25% of principal amount.
On September 30, 2016, the Company obtained the requisite non-revocable consents required to grant certain waivers from the asset sale covenants in the indenture governing the 6-1/2% Notes. The waiver agreements waive the requirement that the Company receive at least 75% of the consideration from the SAPA in the form of cash and cash equivalents. In connection with the receipt and effectiveness of the consents, the Company paid a total of $1.1 million as a result of the Disposition, of which $0.4 million had been incurred as of December 31, 2016 (see Note A - “Sale of MHPS Business”).
6% Senior Notes
On November 26, 2012, the Company sold and issued $850 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021 (“6% Notes”) at par. The proceeds from this offering plus other cash was used to redeem all $800 million principal amount of the outstanding 8% Senior Subordinated Notes. The 6% Notes are redeemable by the Company beginning in November 2016 at an initial redemption price of 103.00% of principal amount.
On September 30, 2016, the Company obtained the requisite non-revocable consents required to grant certain waivers from the asset sale covenants in the indenture governing the 6% Notes. The waiver agreements waive the requirement that the Company receive at least 75% of the consideration from the SAPA in the form of cash and cash equivalents. In connection with the receipt and effectiveness of the consents, the Company paid a total of $3.1 million as a result of the Disposition, of which $1.1 million had been incurred as of December 31, 2016 (see Note A - “Sale of MHPS Business”).
4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
On June 3, 2009, the Company sold and issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of 4% Convertible Notes. At issuance, the Company was required to separately account for the liability and equity components of the 4% Convertible Notes in a manner that reflected the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance for interest cost to be recognized in subsequent periods. The Company allocated $54.3 million of the $172.5 million principal amount of the 4% Convertible Notes to the equity component, which represented a discount to the debt and was amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method through settlement. The Company recorded a related deferred tax liability of $19.4 million on the equity component. During 2012, the Company purchased approximately 25% of the outstanding 4% Convertible Notes. The balance of the 4% Convertible Notes was $128.8 million at settlement on June 1, 2015. The Company recognized interest expense of $5.7 million and $13.5 million on the 4% Convertible Notes for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Interest expense on the 4% Convertible Notes throughout its term included 4% annually of cash interest on the maturity balance of $128.8 million plus non-cash interest expense accreted to the debt balance as described.
On June 1, 2015 the Company paid cash of $131.1 million (including accrued interest of $2.3 million) and issued 3.4 million shares of its $.01 par value common stock to settle the 4% Convertible Notes.
2015 Securitization Facility
On May 28, 2015, the Company, through certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Securitization Facility”) with lenders party thereto. The borrower under the Securitization Facility was a bankruptcy remote subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”). On May 31, 2016, the Company terminated the Securitization Facility, and repaid all outstanding loans because it was not providing the Company with the flexibility needed for its portfolio of assets. As a result of terminating the Securitization Facility, during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million to write-off deferred debt costs. Under the Securitization Facility, the Borrower received loans from time to time from conduit lenders thereunder, which were secured by and payable from collateral of the Borrower (primarily equipment loans and leases to Terex customers originated by TFS and transferred to the Borrower). The facility limit for such loans was $350 million and contained customary representations, warranties and covenants.
At December 31, 2015, the Company had $206.5 million in loans outstanding under the Securitization Facility. The weighted average interest rate on the Securitization Facility at December 31, 2015 was 1.46%. Interest expense on loans outstanding under this facility was recorded to COGS in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). The Company was party to certain derivative interest rate swap agreements entered into to hedge its exposure to variable interest rates related to the Securitization Facility. The effective interest rate on the Securitization Facility when combined with the interest rate swap agreements was 2.13% at December 31, 2015. For further information on the interest rate swap agreements see Note M – “Derivative Financial Instruments.”
Commitment Letter
On May 16, 2016, as a result of terminating the BCA, the Company and Konecranes terminated the commitment letter they entered into on August 10, 2015 with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC ("CS Securities") and Credit Suisse AG ("CS" and, together with CS Securities and their respective affiliates, "Credit Suisse") and the commitments thereunder by Credit Suisse, the other commitment parties and the lenders in respect of the senior secured credit facilities (the “Commitment Letter”). As the Company and Konecranes terminated the BCA, the parties no longer needed the use of funds that would have been supplied by the senior secured credit facilities pursuant to the Commitment Letter.
In connection with the Commitment Letter, the Company incurred fees of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 which are included with transaction costs directly related to the BCA and are recorded in Other income (expense) - net in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
5-5/8% Senior Notes
On January 31, 2017, the Company sold and issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes Due 2025 (“5-5/8% Notes”) at par in a private offering. The proceeds from the 5-5/8% Notes, together with cash on hand, including cash from the sale of our MHPS business, have been and will be used: (i) to complete a tender offer for up to $550.0 million of our 6% Senior Notes, (ii) to redeem and discharge such portion of the 6% Notes that are not purchased in the tender offer, (iii) to fund a $300.0 million partial redemption of the 6% Notes, (iv) to fund anticipated redemption, repurchase or other retirement of all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 6-1/2% Notes on or before April 3, 2017, (v) to pay related premiums, fees, discounts and expenses, and (vi) for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The 5-5/8% Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The Company expects to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to its 6% Senior Notes and its 6-1/2% Senior Notes of approximately $44 million in 2017.
2017 Credit Facility Agreement
On January 31, 2017 the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”), with the lenders and issuing banks party thereto (the “New Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, (“CSAG”) as administrative agent and collateral agent. In connection with the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its 2014 Credit Agreement, among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders thereunder and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and related agreements and documents. The 2017 Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $450 million that is available through January 31, 2022 and a $400.0 million senior secured term loan, which will mature on January 31, 2024. The 2017 Credit Agreement allows unlimited incremental commitments, which may be extended at the option of the existing or new lenders and can be in the form of revolving credit commitments, term loan commitments, or a combination of both, with incremental amounts in excess of $300.0 million as long as the Company satisfies a senior secured leverage ratio contained in the 2017 Credit Agreement.
The 2017 Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with a number of covenants, which limit, in certain circumstances, the Company’s ability to take a variety of actions, including but not limited to: incur indebtedness; create or maintain liens on its property or assets; make investments, loans and advances; repurchase shares of its common stock; engage in acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and asset sales; redeem debt; and pay dividends and distributions. If the Company’s borrowings under its revolving line of credit are greater than 30% of the total revolving credit commitments, the 2017 Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial tests, as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement. If applicable, the minimum required levels of the interest coverage ratio would be 2.5 to 1.0 and the maximum permitted levels of the senior secured leverage ratio would be 2.75 to 1.0. The 2017 Credit Agreement also contains customary default provisions.
Furthermore, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries agreed to take certain actions to secure borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement. As a result, on January 31, 2017, Terex and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with CSAG, as collateral agent for the New Lenders, granting security and guarantees to the New Lenders for amounts borrowed under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, Terex is required to (a) pledge as collateral the capital stock of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries, and (b) provide a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets.
The Company expects to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to its 2014 Credit Agreement of approximately $8 million in 2017.

The fair value of debt reported in the tables above is based on price quotations on the debt instrument in an active market and therefore categorized under Level 1 of the ASC 820 hierarchy. See Note B – “Basis of Presentation,” for an explanation of the ASC 820 hierarchy. The Company believes that the carrying value of its other borrowings, including amounts outstanding for the revolving line of credit under the 2014 Credit Agreement and the Securitization Facility, approximates fair market value based on maturities for debt of similar terms. The fair value of these other borrowings are categorized under Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy.
The Company paid $96.2 million, $98.9 million and $105.9 million of interest in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Most of the Company’s operating leases provide the Company with the option to renew the leases for varying periods after the initial lease terms. These renewal options enable the Company to renew the leases based upon the fair rental values at the date of expiration of the initial lease. Total rental expense under operating leases was $44.3 million, $49.6 million, and $50.4 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
NOTE Q– RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER BENEFITS
U.S. Pension Plan
As of December 31, 2016, the Company maintained one qualified defined benefit pension plan covering certain domestic employees (the “Terex Plan”). Participation in the Terex Plan for all employees has been frozen. Participants are credited with post-freeze service for purposes of determining vesting and retirement eligibility only. The benefits covering salaried employees are based primarily on years of service and employees’ qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. The benefits covering bargaining unit employees are based primarily on years of service and a flat dollar amount per year of service. It is the Company’s policy generally to fund the Terex Plan based on the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Plan assets consist primarily of common stocks, bonds and short-term cash equivalent funds.
The Company maintains a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP provides retirement benefits to certain senior executives of the Company. Generally, the SERP provides a benefit based on average total compensation earned over a participant’s final five years of employment and years of service reduced by benefits earned under any Company retirement program, excluding salary deferrals and matching contributions. In addition, benefits are reduced by Social Security Primary Insurance Amounts attributable to Company contributions. The SERP is unfunded and participation in the SERP has been frozen. There is a defined contribution plan for certain senior executives of the Company.
During July 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP 21”) was enacted in the U.S. MAP 21 provided short-term relief of minimum contribution requirements by increasing the interest rates used to value pension liabilities beginning January 1, 2012 and increased the premiums due to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation beginning in 2013 through 2015. On July 31, 2014, Congress passed the “Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014” (“HFTA-2014”). Included in HFTA-2014 were provisions to further stabilize the interest rates used in valuing pension liabilities. As a result of the provisions of MAP 21 and HFTA-2014, and existing funding commitments, there were no minimum contribution requirements for the 2016, 2015 and 2014 plan years.
Non-U.S. Plans
The Company maintains defined benefit plans in France, Germany, India, Switzerland and the United Kingdom for some of its subsidiaries. Participation in the United Kingdom plan has been frozen. The United Kingdom plan is a funded plan and the Company funds this plan in accordance with funding regulations in the United Kingdom and a negotiated agreement between the Company and the plan’s trustees. The plans in France, Germany and India are unfunded plans. For the Company’s operations in Italy there are mandatory termination indemnity plans providing a benefit payable upon termination of employment in substantially all cases of termination. The Company records this obligation based on mandated requirements. The measure of current obligation is not dependent on the employees’ future service and therefore is measured at current value.
Other Post-employment Benefits
The Company has several non-pension post-retirement benefit programs. The Company provides post-employment health and life insurance benefits to certain former salaried and hourly employees. The health care programs are contributory, with participants’ contributions adjusted annually, and the life insurance plan is noncontributory.
Savings Plans
The Company sponsors various tax deferred savings plans into which eligible employees may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation. The Company may, but is not obligated to, contribute to certain of these plans. The Company’s Common Stock held in a rabbi trust pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan is treated in a manner similar to treasury stock. The number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock held in the rabbi trust was 0.9 million and 0.8 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Charges recognized for the Deferred Compensation Plan and these other savings plans were $19.3 million, $20.6 million and $18.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, Company matching contributions to tax deferred savings plans were invested at the direction of plan participants.

Determination of plan obligations and associated expenses requires the use of actuarial valuations based on certain economic assumptions, which includes discount rates and expected rates of return on plan assets. The discount rate enables the Company to estimate the present value of expected future cash flows on the measurement date. The rate used reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed income investments that matches the duration of expected benefit payments at the December 31 measurement date.
The rate used for the expected return on plan assets for the U.S. plan is based on a review of long-term historical asset performances aligned with the Company’s investment strategy and portfolio mix. While the Company examines performance annually, it also views historic asset portfolios and performance over a long period of years before recommending a change. In the short term, there may be fluctuations of positive and negative yields year-over-year, but over the long-term, the return is expected to be approximately 7%.
The Company’s overall investment strategy for the U.S. defined benefit plan balances two objectives, investing in fixed income securities whose maturity broadly matches the maturity of the pension liabilities and investing in equities and other assets expected to generate higher returns. The Company invests through a number of investment funds with diversified asset types, strategies and managers. Equity securities, including investments in large to small-cap companies in the U.S. and internationally, constitute approximately 32% and 31% of the portfolio at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Fixed income securities including corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, U.S. Treasuries and other securities, which may include mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, constitute approximately 68% and 69% of the portfolio at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The target investment allocation for 2017 is approximately 22% to 36% for equity securities and approximately 64% to 78% for fixed income securities.
The methodology used to determine the rate of return on non-U.S. pension plan assets was based on average rate of earnings on funds invested and to be invested. Based on historical returns and future expectations, the Company believes the investment return assumptions are reasonable. The expected rate of return of plan assets represents an estimate of long-term returns on the investment portfolio. This assumption is reviewed by the trustees and varies with each of the plans.
The overall investment strategy for Non-U.S. defined benefit plans is to achieve a mix of investments to support long-term growth and minimize volatility while maximizing rates of return by diversification of asset types, fund strategies and fund managers. Fixed income investments include investments in European government securities and European corporate bonds and constitute approximately 72% of the portfolio at December 31, 2016 and 2015. Equity investments, multi-asset investment funds and real estate investments that invest in a diversified range of property principally in the retail, office and industrial/warehouse sectors constitute approximately 28% of the portfolio at December 31, 2016 and 2015. Investments of the plans primarily include investments in companies from diversified industries with approximately 93% invested internationally and 7% invested in North America. The target investment allocations to support our investment strategy for 2017 are approximately 65% to 66% fixed income securities and approximately 34% to 35% equity securities, multi-asset investment funds and real estate investments.
The fair value of cash in the table below is based on price quotations in an active market and therefore categorized under Level 1 of the ASC 820 hierarchy. The fair value of the investment funds is priced on the market value of the underlying investments in the portfolio and therefore categorized as Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy. See Note B – “Basis of Presentation,” for an explanation of the ASC 820 hierarchy.
On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820); Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent)” (“ASU 2015-07”). This ASU includes a practical expedient to remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured at the net asset value per share. ASU 2015-07 requires retroactive application and resulted in a reclassification of plan assets of $119.5 million in 2015 from Level 2 to Net asset value (“NAV”).

The Company plans to contribute approximately $1 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans and approximately $7 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans in 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company contributed $1.4 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement plans and $6.7 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
The Company’s estimated future benefit payments under its plans are as follows (in millions):

For the other benefits, for measurement purposes, a 6.50% rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2017, decreasing one-half percentage point per year until it reaches 4.50% for 2021 and thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates may have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan.

Long-Term Incentive Plans. In May 2009, the stockholders approved the Terex Corporation 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The purpose of the 2009 Plan is to provide a means whereby employees, directors and third-party service providers of the Company develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial success of the Company, and to encourage them to devote their best efforts to the business of the Company, thereby advancing the interests of the Company and its stockholders. The 2009 Plan provides for incentive compensation in the form of (i) options to purchase shares of Common Stock, (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, (iv) other stock awards, (v) cash awards, and (vi) performance awards. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan is 8.0 million shares plus the number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Terex Corporation 2000 Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”) and the 1996 Terex Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”). As of December 31, 2016, 2.5 million shares were available for grant under the 2009 Plan.
In May 2000, the stockholders approved the 2000 Plan. The purpose of the 2000 Plan is to assist the Company in attracting and retaining selected individuals to serve as directors, officers, consultants, advisers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates who will contribute to the Company’s success and to achieve long-term objectives which will inure to the benefit of all stockholders of the Company through the additional incentive inherent in the ownership of the Common Stock. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2000 Plan was 12.0 million shares plus any shares related to awards under the 2000 Plan that were not issued or were subsequently forfeited, expired or otherwise terminated.
In May 1996, the stockholders approved the 1996 Plan. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 1996 Plan was 4.0 million shares plus any shares related to awards under the 1996 Plan that were not issued or were subsequently forfeited, expired or otherwise terminated.
Substantially all stock option grants under the 2000 Plan and the 1996 Plan vested over a four year period and have a contractual life of ten years. There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014, and the intrinsic value of all options outstanding is zero.

Under the 2009 Plan, 2000 Plan and the 1996 Plan, approximately 11% of all restricted stock awards outstanding vest over a four year period and approximately 89% of all restricted stock awards vest over a three year period with approximately 70% of these awards vesting on the first three anniversary dates and approximately 30% vesting at the end of the three year period. Approximately 38% of the outstanding restricted stock awards are subject to performance targets and market conditions that may or may not be met and for which the performance period has not yet been completed.
The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the market price at the date of grant except for 0.9 million shares based on a market condition. The Company uses the Monte Carlo method to provide grant date fair value for awards with a market condition. The Monte Carlo method is a statistical simulation technique used to provide the grant date fair value of an award. The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the valuations:
|

Expected life (in years) | 3 | | 3 | | 2 | | 3 |
Grant date fair value per share | $29.24 | | $28.10 | | $25.60 | | $53.17 |
As of December 31, 2016, unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock totaled approximately $40.6 million, which will be expensed over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. The grant date weighted average fair value for restricted stock awards during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $23.95, $26.83 and $44.23, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested for restricted stock awards was $35.1 million, $42.6 million and $36.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued 64 thousand shares of its outstanding Common Stock which were contributed into a deferred compensation plan under a Rabbi Trust.

Tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation were $12.6 million, $12.4 million and $14.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The excess tax benefit for all stock-based compensation is included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as an operating cash outflow and a financing cash inflow.

Share Repurchases and Dividends
In February 2015, the Company announced authorization by its Board of Directors for the repurchase of up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company repurchased 3.5 million shares for $81.3 million under this program. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 1.9 million shares for $50.0 million. In February 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors announced authorization for the repurchase of up to an additional $350 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The Company’s Board of Directors declared and paid a dividend of $0.07 and $0.06 per share in each quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.08 per share in the first quarter of 2017 which will be paid in March 2017.
NOTE S – LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
General
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation liability, employment, commercial and intellectual property litigation, which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company is insured for product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, property damage and other insurable risk required by law or contract, with retained liability or deductibles. The Company records and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate of the Company’s aggregate exposure for such retained liabilities and deductibles. For such retained liabilities and deductibles, the Company determines its exposure based on probable loss estimations, which requires such losses to be both probable and the amount or range of probable loss to be estimable. The Company believes it has made appropriate and adequate reserves and accruals for its current contingencies and the likelihood of a material loss beyond amounts accrued is remote. The Company believes the outcome of such matters, individually and in aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial statements as a whole. However, outcomes of lawsuits cannot be predicted and, if determined adversely, could ultimately result in the Company incurring significant liabilities which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
Securities and Stockholder Derivative Lawsuits
The Company has received complaints seeking certification of class action lawsuits as follows:
| |
• | A consolidated class action complaint for violations of securities laws in the securities lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, District of Connecticut on November 18, 2010 and is entitled Sheet Metal Workers Local 32 Pension Fund and Ironworkers St. Louis Council Pension Fund, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Terex Corporation, et al. |
| |
• | A stockholder derivative complaint for violation of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment was filed on April 12, 2010 in the United States District Court, District of Connecticut and is entitled Peter Derrer, derivatively on behalf of Terex Corporation v. Ronald M. DeFeo, Phillip C. Widman, Thomas J. Riordan, G. Chris Andersen, Donald P. Jacobs, David A. Sachs, William H. Fike, Donald DeFosset, Helge H. Wehmeier, Paula H.J. Cholmondeley, Oren G. Shaffer, Thomas J. Hansen, and David C. Wang, and Terex Corporation. |
These lawsuits generally cover the period from February 2008 to February 2009 and allege, among other things, that certain of the Company’s SEC filings and other public statements contained false and misleading statements which resulted in damages to the Company, the plaintiffs and the members of the purported class when they purchased the Company’s securities and in the stockholder derivative complaint, that there were breaches of fiduciary duties. The stockholder derivative complaint also alleges waste of corporate assets relating to the repurchase of the Company’s shares in the market and unjust enrichment as a result of securities sales by certain officers and directors. The complaints seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate a possible loss or a range of losses for these lawsuits. The stockholder derivative complaint also seeks amendments to the Company’s corporate governance procedures in addition to unspecified compensatory damages from the individual defendants in its favor.
The Company believes that the allegations in the suits are without merit, and Terex, its directors and the named executives will continue to vigorously defend against them. The Company believes that it has acted, and continues to act, in compliance with federal securities laws and Delaware law with respect to these matters. Accordingly, the Company has filed motions to dismiss the securities lawsuit. The plaintiff in the stockholder derivative lawsuit has agreed with the Company to put this lawsuit on hold pending the outcome of the motion to dismiss in connection with the securities lawsuit.
Demag Cranes AG Appraisal Proceedings
In connection with the Company’s purchase of Demag Cranes AG (a component of MHPS), certain former shareholders of Demag Cranes AG initiated appraisal proceedings relating to (i) a domination and profit loss transfer agreement between Demag Cranes AG and Terex Germany GmbH & Co. KG (the “DPLA Proceeding”) and (ii) the squeeze out of the former Demag Cranes AG shareholders (the “Squeeze out Proceeding”) against the Company alleging that the Company did not pay fair value for the shares of Demag Cranes AG. The Company believes it did pay fair value for the shares of Demag Cranes AG and that no further payment from the Company to any former shareholders of Demag Cranes AG is required. The initial court ruling in the DPLA Proceeding was in favor of the Company and against the claimants ( i.e. no increase in compensation was owed to the former shareholders). However, the court did rule that the costs of the proceedings, including legal costs for both parties, would need to be borne by Terex. This initial court ruling in the DPLA Proceeding is being appealed. The Squeeze out Proceeding is still in the relatively early stages. While the Company believes the position of the former shareholders of Demag Cranes AG is without merit and is vigorously opposing it, no assurance can be given as to the final resolution of these disputes or that the Company will not ultimately be required to make an additional payment as a result of such disputes, which amount could be material.
Other
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings, which have arisen in the normal course of its operations. The Company has recorded provisions for estimated losses in circumstances where a loss is probable and the amount or range of possible amounts of the loss is estimable.
Credit Guarantees
Customers of the Company from time to time may fund the acquisition of the Company’s equipment through third-party finance companies. In certain instances, the Company may provide a credit guarantee to the finance company, by which the Company agrees to make payments to the finance company should the customer default. The maximum liability of the Company is generally limited to its customer’s remaining payments due to the finance company at the time of default. In the event of customer default, the Company or the finance company is generally able to recover and dispose of the equipment at a minimum loss, if any, to the Company.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s maximum exposure to such credit guarantees was $42.3 million and $39.8 million, respectively, including total guarantees issued by a German subsidiary, part of the Cranes segment, of $16.3 million and $19.0 million, respectively (credit guarantees as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 include $2.0 million and $1.7 million of guarantees related to discontinued operations, respectively). The terms of these guarantees coincide with the financing arranged by the customer and generally do not exceed five years. Given the Company’s position as the original equipment manufacturer and its knowledge of end markets, the Company, when called upon to fulfill a guarantee, generally has been able to liquidate the financed equipment at a minimal loss, if any, to the Company.
There can be no assurance that historical credit default experience will be indicative of future results. The Company’s ability to recover losses experienced from its guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in effect at the time of loss.
Residual Value and Buyback Guarantees
The Company issues residual value guarantees under sales-type leases. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date. Maximum exposure for residual value guarantees issued by the Company totaled $7.1 million and 3.7 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company is generally able to mitigate risk associated with these guarantees because the maturity of guarantees is staggered, limiting the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time.
The Company from time to time guarantees that it will buy equipment from its customers in the future at a stated price if certain conditions are met by the customer. Such guarantees are referred to as buyback guarantees. These conditions generally pertain to the functionality and state of repair of the machine. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s maximum exposure pursuant to buyback guarantees was $3.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively ($3.2 million and $6.6 million related to discontinued operations, respectively). The Company is generally able to mitigate risk of these guarantees because maturity of the guarantees is staggered, limiting the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time and through leveraging its access to the used equipment markets provided by the Company’s original equipment manufacturer status.
See Note B – “Basis of Presentation – Revenue Recognition,” for a discussion of revenue recognition on arrangements with buyback guarantees.
The Company has recorded an aggregate liability within Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of $3.8 million and $3.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the estimated fair value of all guarantees provided.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s historical experience in used equipment markets will be indicative of future results. The Company’s ability to recover losses experienced from its guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in the used equipment markets at the time of loss.
