JOY GLOBAL INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.
Description of Business
Joy Global Inc. (the "Company") is a leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of metals and minerals. We manufacture and market original equipment and parts and perform services for both underground and surface mining, as well as certain industrial applications. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals. We operate in two business segments: Underground Mining Machinery ("Underground") and Surface Mining Equipment ("Surface"). We are a major manufacturer of underground mining machinery for the extraction of coal and other bedded minerals. We are also a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction of copper, coal and other minerals and ores. We offer comprehensive direct service, which includes our smart service offerings, near major mining regions worldwide and provide extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in mining. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, and internationally, including facilities in Australia, Canada, China, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

2.
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation on a going concern basis of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for all periods presented have been made. All such adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the future could differ from those estimates.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.
Acquisitions
Acquisition of Mining Technologies International Inc.
On May 30, 2014, we closed on the purchase of certain assets of Mining Technologies International Inc. ("MTI") for $44.4 million dollars. MTI is a Canadian manufacturer of underground hard rock mining equipment serving the North American markets and a world leading supplier of raise bore drilling consumables. We have acquired substantially all of the assets associated with MTI’s hard rock drilling, loaders, dump trucks, shaft sinking and raise bore product lines. MTI's results of operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements as part of the Underground segment from the acquisition date forward.
In connection with the acquisition, we have recorded goodwill of approximately $0.3 million and intangible assets of approximately $9.9 million. The intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships and designs and drawings, which are being amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.

Warranties

7


We provide for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties to remedy deficiencies of quality or performance of our products. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. These product warranties extend over either a specified period of time, units of production or machine hours depending on the product subject to the warranty. We accrue a provision for estimated future warranty costs based on the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. We periodically review the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties and adjust the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience as necessary.
The following table reconciles the changes in the product warranty reserve:

Borrowings and Credit Facilities
On July 29, 2014, we entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on July 29, 2019 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). Under the Credit Agreement, we also may request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement simultaneously replaced the $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement dated as of October 12, 2012 (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), that was scheduled to expire on November 12, 2017. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one week or one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company's credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its "prime rate," or (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company's credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders when we are not in compliance with the financial covenants in the agreement. As of January 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and had no restrictions on the payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders.
As of January 30, 2015, there were no direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 is $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $1.0 billion credit limit, totaled $175.3 million. As of January 30, 2015, there was $824.7 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
On July 29, 2014, we also entered into a term loan agreement which matures July 29, 2019 and provides for a commitment of up to $375.0 million (as amended, the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan replaced our prior term loan, dated as of June 16, 2011 (the "Prior Term Loan"). The Prior Term Loan had been scheduled to mature on July 16, 2016 and provided an initial commitment of $500.0 million, which had been drawn in full in conjunction with our fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. and had been amortized to $375.0 million at the date that we entered into the Term Loan. We utilized the $375.0 million commitment under the Term Loan to repay the balance outstanding under the Prior Term Loan. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning in fiscal 2016 and contains terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of January 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.
On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 (the "2021 Notes") at a discount of $4.2 million in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and

8


future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.
In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2016 Notes" and "2036 Notes," respectively). Interest on the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.3% for the 2016 Notes and 0.375% for the 2036 Notes.

Shareholders' Equity
In August 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of our common stock until August 2016. Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations. During the quarter ended January 30, 2015, we purchased 954,580 shares of common stock for approximately $50.0 million. During the quarter ended January 31, 2014, we purchased 2,258,898 shares of common stock for approximately $122.0 million. Since its inception, the Company has repurchased 9,771,605 shares of common stock under the program for approximately $533.4 million, leaving $466.6 million available under the program.

9.
Share-Based Compensation
Total share-based compensation expense recognized for the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 is $7.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The total share-based compensation expense is reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in operating activities as an add back to net income.
The corresponding deferred tax asset recognized related to the share-based compensation is $1.9 million and $1.6 million for the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively.

The actuarial loss (gain) arises from differences in estimates and actual experiences for certain assumptions, including changes in the discount rate and expected return on assets. For the quarter ended January 30, 2015, we contributed $10.2 million to our defined benefit employee pension plans, and we expect contributions to be approximately $15.0 million for the full fiscal year.

11.
Derivatives
We are exposed to certain foreign currency risks in the normal course of our global business operations. We enter into derivative contracts that are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the risks of certain identified and anticipated transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective operating unit. The types of risks hedged are those arising from the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are for forecasted transactions and committed receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Consequently, any market-related losses on the forward contract would be offset by changes in the value of the hedged item, and, as a result, we are generally not exposed to net market risk associated with these instruments.
Each derivative is classified as either a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or an undesignated instrument. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the heading Other current assets or under the heading Other accrued liabilities, as appropriate. Cash flows from fair value and cash flow hedges are classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from undesignated derivative instruments are included in operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative contract is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. This amount is reclassified into the income statement on the line associated with the underlying transaction for the periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for existing cash flow hedges are generally expected to be reclassified into earnings within one year, and all of the existing hedges will be reclassified into earnings by October 2015. There was no ineffectiveness related to these derivative contracts for the quarter ended January 30, 2015, and there was a gain of less than $0.1 million recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to the ineffectiveness of these derivative contracts for the quarter ended January 31, 2014.
For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading Cost of sales. For the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, we recorded losses of $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to fair value hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of the underlying hedged item.
For derivative contracts entered into in order to hedge revaluation of net balance sheet exposures in non-functional currency that are not designated as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading Cost of sales. For the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, we recorded gains of $6.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to undesignated hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations.
The following table summarizes the effect of cash flow hedges on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the forward contracts. The terms of the forward contract determine the amount and timing of amounts to be exchanged, and the contract is generally subject to credit risk only when it has a positive fair value.

12.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, performance shares and restricted stock units, if dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Options to purchase a weighted average of 2.3 million and 1.5 million shares were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive.

13.
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP establishes a three level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly or quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the instrument where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
GAAP requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value and disclose the fair value of long-term obligations recorded at cost as of January 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014. As of January 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, we did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
Derivatives: The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.
Term Loan: The fair value of the Term Loan is estimated using discounted cash flows and market conditions.
Senior Notes: The fair market value of the senior notes is estimated based on market quotations of similar instruments at the respective period end.

14.
Contingent Liabilities
We establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies related to legal claims asserted against us, as required by GAAP. Developments during the course of legal proceedings may affect our assessments and estimates of our contingencies, which in turn may require us to record or change the amount of a reserve, or make a payment that is different than the amount that we have reserved. In addition, as a normal part of operations, our subsidiaries undertake contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and favorable or unfavorable resolutions may affect the results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe that the outcome of such legal and other matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the normal course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including approximately 3,300 asbestos and silica-related cases), employment

13


and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters and litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business.
As of January 30, 2015, we were contingently liable to banks, financial institutions and others for approximately $211.4 million for outstanding standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees to secure the performance of sales contracts and other third party provided guarantees in the ordinary course of business. Of the $211.4 million, approximately $27.7 million relates to surety bonds and $8.5 million relates to outstanding letters of credit or other guarantees issued by non-U.S. banks for non-U.S. subsidiaries under locally provided credit facilities.
In addition, we have received a subpoena from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement concerning our 2012 acquisition of IMM and related accounting matters. We are cooperating with the SEC regarding this investigation, which is ongoing. While it is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of the SEC inquiry, we currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future consolidated results of operation, financial position or liquidity.

15.
Segment Information
We operate in two reportable segments: Underground and Surface. Crushing and conveying operating results related to surface applications are reported as part of the Surface segment, while total crushing and conveying operating results are included in the Underground segment. Eliminations primarily consist of the surface applications of crushing and conveying included in both operating segments. The results of operations for MTI have been included in the Underground segment from the acquisition date forward.
Operating income (loss) of segments does not include interest income and expense, corporate administration expenses and the provision for income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 provides a single principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps are to (i) identify the contracts with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contact, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 28, 2017 and the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and the presentation of our financial statements.

Subsidiary Guarantors for 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes
The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information as of January 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014 and for the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 for: (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes issued in November 2006, which include the significant domestic operations of Joy Global Underground Mining LLC, Joy Global Surface Mining Inc, N.E.S. Investment Co., Joy Global Conveyors Inc., Joy Global Longview Operations LLC and certain immaterial wholly owned subsidiaries of Joy Global Longview Operations LLC (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").
The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

Subsidiary Guarantors for Credit Agreement, Term Loan and 2021 Notes
The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information as of January 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014 and for the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 for: (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and the 2021 Notes issued in October 2011, which include Joy Global Underground Mining LLC, Joy Global Surface Mining Inc, N.E.S. Investment Co., Joy Global Conveyors Inc. and Joy Global Longview Operations LLC (the "Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors"); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").
The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview
Joy Global Inc. is a leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of metals and minerals. We manufacture and market original equipment and parts and perform services for both underground and surface mining, as well as certain industrial applications. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals. We operate in two business segments: Underground and Surface. We are a major manufacturer of underground mining machinery for the extraction of coal and other bedded minerals. We are also a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction of copper, coal and other minerals and ores. We offer comprehensive direct service, which includes our smart service offerings, near major mining regions worldwide and provide extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in mining. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, and internationally, including facilities in Australia, Canada, China, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
Operating Results
Quarter Ended January 30, 2015 Compared With Quarter Ended January 31, 2014
Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were $703.9 million, compared to $839.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in net sales of $135.4 million, or 16%, in the current year first quarter reflected a decrease in original equipment sales of $77.7 million, or 29%, and a decrease in service sales of $57.7 million, or 10%. Original equipment decreased in all regions except Latin America, which was flat, and China, which was aided by the sale of a locally produced longwall system. The decrease in original equipment sales was led by Australia, which decreased by $34.9 million. Service sales decreased in all regions except China. The decrease in service sales was led by Australia and Africa, which decreased by $20.5 million and $17.2 million, respectively. The decrease in sales was due in part to wider-scale customer shutdowns during the holiday season in fiscal 2015. Compared to the prior year first quarter, net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $16.9 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $48.7 million, or 6.9% of net sales, compared to $85.2 million, or 10.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in operating income of $36.5 million, or 43%, in the current year first quarter was due to margins on lower sales volumes of $50.6 million and a less favorable product mix of $7.8 million. These items were partially offset by higher manufacturing cost absorption of $4.2 million, lower period costs (defined as any costs of sales other than those costs associated with selling inventory at standard costs) of $2.3 million and reduced product development, selling and administrative expenses of $15.4 million. Compared to the prior year first quarter, operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $0.5 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Net income was $23.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $48.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were $700.2 million, compared to $860.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in bookings of $160.3 million, or 19%, in the current year first quarter reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $74.1 million, or 30%, and a decrease in service orders of $86.3 million, or 14%. Original equipment bookings decreased in Eurasia, Latin America and China by $53.0 million, $39.4 million and $26.4 million, respectively, with increases in all other regions. Service bookings decreased in all regions except Africa. The decrease in service bookings was led by North America and Latin America, which decreased by $32.7 million and $28.1 million, respectively. Compared to the prior year first quarter, bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $49.7 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.
Market Outlook
The outlook for global growth in 2015 has been reduced in recent months as the slowing trends seen in the second half of 2014 have continued. Weak commodity prices, diverging monetary policy and weak world trade all present challenges to the growth outlook. After showing some signs of improvement, growth in Europe remains stagnant. Slowing housing market activity and a movement towards consumer driven growth has China adjusting to a new normal level of economic activity. The strength

26


seen in the U.S. economy during the second half of 2014 now faces headwinds from slowing activity in the energy sector. Combined, these challenges contribute to a decidedly more difficult end market unfolding for the company in 2015.
The decline in oil prices seen during the second half of 2014 has continued. Record production, elevated inventories, and weakening global demand are expected to result in oil prices remaining depressed through mid-2015, if not longer depending upon the speed of the supply response.
Although the underlying fundamentals of copper remain strong with low global inventory levels and a production deficit in 2014, near-term demand uncertainty has driven prices down since December 2014. New supply growth is expected to move the global copper market to a surplus in 2015 / 2016 before returning to a longer-term deficit.
Entering 2015, U.S. coal markets were expected to be under pressure from power plant retirements and the looming implementation of increasingly stringent regulations. Over the last several months, added pressures have materialized from lower natural gas prices, and exports have been hampered by a stronger U.S. dollar. Current natural gas prices have declined as record production has increased inventories. Forward curves for natural gas point to prices for 2015 that will continue to pressure major U.S. coal basins. Exports are also facing challenges in global markets based on seaborne thermal coal and metallurgical coal prices. U.S. coal exports are expected to decline in 2015. The combined effect is likely to see U.S. coal demand decline in 2015 which will have a direct impact on overall production.
The challenges seen in seaborne thermal coal markets are expected to persist throughout 2015 as supply growth continues to outpace a strained demand environment. Despite Indian coal imports growing annually, strong production in Indonesia coupled with growth in Australian exports have left the seaborne thermal coal market well supplied.
Conversely, seaborne metallurgical coal markets appear closer to finding an equilibrium balance. The production curtailments announced in 2014 are expected to support prices at current levels, with the possibility of some marginal improvement by year-end. On the demand side, the largest driver remains the health of global steel consumption which is expected to increase in 2015. The combination of continued supply restraint and stable demand should continue to drive metallurgical coal back to an equilibrium point.
Global steel consumption will continue to influence seaborne iron ore markets. With additional supply set to reach the market in 2015, global iron ore prices will remain under pressure. Should a substantive downward revision to global steel markets occur, iron ore prices could trend lower.
The increase in economic uncertainty along with further deterioration in commodity prices continues to adversely impact our business. While mining capital expenditures were expected to decline in 2015, further reductions in spending have been announced in recent weeks as the industry battles depressed commodity prices and an uncertain demand outlook. Mine productivity improvements and cost reductions are the focus of the industry as further mine and asset consolidation is expected to take place in 2015.
Company Outlook
The macroeconomic and commodity price environment that marked the beginning of our fiscal year has worsened in recent months. Lower commodity prices have decreased our customers' cash flows and they are continuing to reduce capital expenditures and delay maintenance in an uncertain demand environment.
Our direct service business remains a critical and stabilizing force for us, but we have recently seen slowing in the bookings profile as maintenance and rebuild schedules are stretched. There has also been evidence of commodity production declines in some end markets that is also impacting our service bookings. Although production declines will help to rebalance supply and demand fundamentals, they will also put pressure on our near-term service booking activity.
In light of the slower market environment, we are accelerating our facility optimization plan and are taking additional cost reduction actions to those previously announced. We are committed to prudently managing our business for softer market conditions, while retaining our ability to ramp up capacity when growth returns.
As a company, we’ve traversed difficult market conditions before while maintaining our commitment to the future. We continue to do that today and remain focused on working with our customers to deliver differentiated, innovative solutions that they need to maximize their mine performance.

Underground operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $38.2 million, or 9.9% of net sales, compared to $62.6 million, or 13.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground operating income of $24.4 million, or 39%, in the current year first quarter was primarily due to margins on lower sales volumes of $32.2 million. This item was partially offset by higher manufacturing cost absorption of $3.2 million, lower period costs of $1.2 million and reduced product development, selling and administrative expenses of $5.5 million. Compared to the prior year first quarter, Underground operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $1.0 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Surface operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $29.1 million, or 8.4% of net sales, compared to $46.2 million, or 11.5% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Surface operating income of $17.1 million, or 37%, in the current year first quarter was due to margins on lower sales volumes of $20.7 million and a less favorable product mix of $7.5 million. These items were partially offset by reduced product development, selling and administrative expenses of $7.3 million. Compared to the prior year first quarter, Surface operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $0.5 million favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

28


Corporate expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $12.1 million, compared to $14.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in corporate expense of $2.1 million, or 15%, is primarily due to reduced administrative expenses of $2.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in other income of $0.5 million.
Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense
Product development, selling and administrative expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $137.6 million, or 19.6% of net sales, compared to $153.0 million, or 18.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in product development, selling and administrative expense of $15.4 million, or 10%, was due primarily to cost savings from the Company's restructuring programs, as well as lower incentive based compensation expense, decreased bad debt, and lower pension expense. These items were partially offset by increased expenses from the third quarter fiscal 2014 acquisition of MTI.
Restructuring activities continued in the quarter to optimize the company's manufacturing footprint and to better align its overall cost structure with anticipated demand.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $13.0 million, compared to $13.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in net interest expense of $0.8 million, or 6%, was primarily due to the reduction in the borrowing spreads and commitment fees as a result of the third quarter fiscal 2014 refinancing, as well as increased interest rates on interest bearing assets.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $12.1 million, compared to $22.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate was 34.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to 31.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Net discrete tax expense of $0.4 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to a benefit of $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter, excluding discrete items, was primarily attributable to a change in geographical mix of projected earnings.

Underground bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were $406.9 million, compared to $451.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground bookings of $44.1 million, or 10%, in the current year first quarter reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $23.6 million, or 16%, and a decrease in service orders of $20.5 million, or 7%. Original equipment orders decreased in Eurasia and China by $53.4 million and $23.8 million, respectively, with increases in all other regions. Service orders decreased in all regions except Africa. The decrease in service orders was led by Australia, which decreased by $15.4 million. Compared to the prior year first quarter, Underground bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $38.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.
Surface bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were $310.8 million, compared to $433.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Surface bookings of $122.7 million, or 28%, in the current year first quarter reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $53.7 million, or 48%, and a decrease in service orders of $69.0 million, or 21%. Original equipment orders decreased in all regions. The decrease in original equipment orders was led by Latin America, which decreased by $39.4 million. Service orders decreased in all regions except Africa, which was flat, and China. The decrease in service orders was led by North America and Latin America, which decreased by $31.5 million and $28.1 million, respectively. Compared to the prior

29


year first quarter, Surface bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included an $11.0 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.

We currently use trade working capital and cash flows from continuing operations as two financial measurements to evaluate the performance of our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. We require trade working capital investment because our direct service model requires us to maintain certain inventory levels in order to maximize our customers’ machine availability. This information also provides management with a focus on our receivable terms and collectability efforts and our ability to obtain advance payments on original equipment orders. As part of the continuous improvement of our purchasing and manufacturing processes, we continue to strive for alignment of inventory levels with customer demand and current production schedules.
Cash used by continuing operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $18.4 million, compared to $64.8 million provided by continuing operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in cash from continuing operations was primarily due to lower earnings, an increase in inventories and a reduction in advance payments resulting from a decline in original equipment order activity. These decreases were partially offset by collections of accounts receivable and reduced payments on accounts payable.
Cash used by investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $21.4 million, compared to $24.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in cash used by investing activities was primarily due to a decline in capital expenditures.
Cash used by financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $68.8 million, compared to $151.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in cash used by financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in treasury share repurchases and a decrease in required repayments made on the Term Loan due to the change in the repayment schedule associated with the debt refinancing that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

On November 18, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was paid on December 18, 2014 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on December 4, 2014. In addition, on February 18, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on March 18, 2015 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on March 4, 2015.
Retiree Benefits
We sponsor pension plans in the U.S. and in other countries. The significance of the funding requirements of these plans is largely dependent on the value of the plan assets, the investment returns on the plan assets, actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, and the impact of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. For the quarter ended January 30, 2015, we contributed $10.2 million to our defined benefit employee pension plans. We expect contributions to our defined benefit pension plans to be approximately $15.0 million for the full fiscal year.
Credit Agreement
On July 29, 2014, we entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on July 29, 2019. Under the Credit Agreement, we also may request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement simultaneously replaced the $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement dated as of October 12, 2012 that was scheduled to expire on November 12, 2017. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one week or one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company's credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its "prime rate," or (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company's credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders when we are not in compliance with the financial covenants in the agreement. As of January 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and had no restrictions on the payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders.
As of January 30, 2015, there were no direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the quarters ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 is $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $1.0 billion credit limit, totaled $175.3 million. As of January 30, 2015, there was $824.7 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
On July 29, 2014, we also entered into a term loan agreement which matures July 29, 2019 and provides for a commitment of up to $375.0 million. The Term Loan replaced our prior term loan, dated as of June 16, 2011. The Prior Term Loan had been scheduled to mature on July 16, 2016 and provided an initial commitment of $500.0 million, which had been drawn in full in conjunction with our fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. and had been amortized to $375.0 million at the date that we entered into the Term Loan. We utilized the $375.0 million commitment under the Term Loan to repay the balance outstanding under the Prior Term Loan. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning in fiscal 2016 and contains terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of January 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.
On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 at a discount of $4.2 million in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.
In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036. Interest on the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current

31


and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.3% for the 2016 Notes and 0.375% for the 2036 Notes.
Stock Repurchase Program
In August 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of our common stock until August 2016. Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations. During the quarter ended January 30, 2015, we purchased 954,580 shares of common stock for approximately $50.0 million. During the quarter ended January 31, 2014, we purchased 2,258,898 shares of common stock for approximately $122.0 million. Since its inception, the Company has repurchased 9,771,605 shares of common stock under the program for approximately $533.4 million, leaving $466.6 million available under the program.
Advance Payments and Progress Billings
As part of the negotiation process associated with original equipment orders, contracts generally require advance payments and progress billings from our customers to support the procurement of inventory and other resources. As of January 30, 2015, advance payments and progress billings were $312.4 million. As orders are shipped or costs are incurred, the advance payments and progress billings are recognized as revenue in the consolidated financial statements.
Financial Condition
We believe our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to meet our projected needs. We had $152.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of January 30, 2015 and $824.7 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Requirements for working capital, dividends, pension contributions, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases and principal and interest payments on our Term Loan and Senior Notes will be adequately funded by cash on hand and continuing operations, supplemented by short and long term borrowings, as required.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We lease various assets under operating leases. No significant changes to lease commitments have occurred since our year ended October 31, 2014. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventory, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty, pension and postretirement benefits and costs, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We believe our accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, accrued warranties, pension and postretirement benefits and costs and income taxes are the policies that most frequently require us to make estimates and judgments, and therefore are critical to the understanding of our results of operations. See Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014 for a discussion of these policies. There were no material changes to these policies since our year ended October 31, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Our new accounting pronouncements are set forth under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.


32


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014, we are exposed to various types of market risks, such as interest rate risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency risk. We monitor our risks on a continuous basis and generally enter into forward foreign currency contracts to minimize our foreign currency exposures. We do not engage in speculation in our derivative strategies. Gains and losses from foreign currency contract activities are offset by changes in the underlying costs of the transactions being hedged. There have been no material changes to our primary market risk exposures or how such risks are managed since our year ended October 31, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known on a timely basis to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective (1) in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our quarter ended January 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the normal course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including approximately 3,300 asbestos and silica-related cases), employment and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters and litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business.

SEC Investigation. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we received a subpoena from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement concerning our 2012 acquisition of International Mining Machinery Holdings Limited and related accounting matters. This investigation is discussed in Note 14, Contingent Liabilities, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. There were no material developments with respect to this matter in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Delaware Chancery Litigation. On November 12, 2014, Ironworkers Local No. 25 Pension Fund (“Plaintiff”) brought suit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Case No. 10341) against the Company, members of its Board of Directors, and Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”), in its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and Term Loan. Plaintiff alleges that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by unjustifiably permitting the Credit Agreement and Term Loan each to contain what Plaintiff calls a “dead hand proxy put” change of control provision, which would provide for the acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement in the event that a majority of the board of directors is replaced in a proxy contest. The plaintiff alleged that this provision, which has been present in a number of the Company's prior credit facilities, has a coercive effect on stockholder voting for change on the board of directors and entrenches the Company’s incumbent directors.  The complaint further asserted that Bank of America aided and abetted the defendant directors in their alleged breach of fiduciary duties. On January 27, 2015, the Company and Bank of America executed amendments to the Credit Agreement and Term Loan to remove the "dead hand proxy put." On January 28, 2015, Plaintiff wrote a letter informing the court that the amendments had rendered their claims moot and that they would coordinate with the Company regarding dismissal of the claims and Plaintiff's application for an award of attorneys' fees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
During the quarter ended January 30, 2015, there were no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.
