SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q, including statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, results of operations, financial position, business outlook, business trends and other information, may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “estimates,” “expects,” “contemplates,” “will,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “may,” “should” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections will result or be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others, the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and in this report, as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, and are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and also include the following:

We have exposure to the risks associated with instability in the global economy and financial markets, which may negatively impact our revenues, liquidity, suppliers and customers.

More than half of our sales and operations are in non-U.S. jurisdictions and we are subject to the economic, political, regulatory and other risks of international operations.

Our revenues and operating results, especially in the Energy segment, depend on the level of activity in the energy industry, which is affected by volatile oil and gas prices.

Our results of operations are subject to exchange rate and other currency risks. A significant movement in exchange rates could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows.

Potential governmental regulations restricting the use, and increased public attention to and litigation regarding the impacts, of hydraulic fracturing or other processes on which it relies could reduce demand for our products.

We face competition in the markets we serve, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results.

Large or rapid increases in the cost of raw materials and component parts, substantial decreases in their availability, or our dependence on particular suppliers of raw materials and component parts could materially and adversely affect our operating results.

Our operating results could be adversely affected by a loss or reduction of business with key customers or consolidation or the vertical integration of our customer base.

The loss of, or disruption in, our distribution network could have a negative impact on our abilities to ship products, meet customer demand and otherwise operate our business.

Our ongoing and expected restructuring plans and other cost savings initiatives may not be as effective as we anticipate, and we may fail to realize the cost savings and increased efficiencies that we expect to result from these actions. Our operating results could be negatively affected by our inability to effectively implement such restructuring plans and other cost savings initiatives.

Our success depends on our executive management and other key personnel.

Index

Credit and counterparty risks could harm our business.

If we are unable to develop new products and technologies, our competitive position may be impaired, which could materially and adversely affect our sales and market share.

Cost overruns, delays, penalties or liquidated damages could negatively impact our results, particularly with respect to fixed-price contracts for custom engineered products.

The risk of non-compliance with U.S. and foreign laws and regulations applicable to our international operations could have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition or strategic objectives.

A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill and other intangible assets, the value of which may be reduced if we determine that those assets are impaired.

Our business could suffer if we experience employee work stoppages, union and work council campaigns or other labor difficulties.

We are a defendant in certain asbestos and silica-related personal injury lawsuits, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

Acquisitions and integrating such acquisitions create certain risks and may affect our operating results.

A natural disaster, catastrophe or other event could result in severe property damage, which could adversely affect our operations.

Information systems failure may disrupt our business and result in financial loss and liability to our customers.

The nature of our products creates the possibility of significant product liability and warranty claims, which could harm our business.

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition.

Third parties may infringe upon our intellectual property or may claim we have infringed their intellectual property, and we may expend significant resources enforcing or defending our rights or suffer competitive injury.

We face risks associated with our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations.

Our substantial indebtedness could have important adverse consequences and adversely affect our financial condition.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Despite our level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt, including off-balance sheet financing, contractual obligations and general and commercial liabilities. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.

The terms of the credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Index

We utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on our variable rate indebtedness and we will be exposed to risks related to counterparty credit worthiness or non-performance of these instruments.

If the financial institutions that are part of the syndicate of our Revolving Credit Facility fail to extend credit under our facility or reduce the borrowing base under our Revolving Credit Facility, our liquidity and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We caution you that the risks, uncertainties and other factors referenced above may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected. There can be no assurance that (i) we have correctly measured or identified all of the factors affecting our business or the extent of these factors’ likely impact, (ii) the available information with respect to these factors on which such analysis is based is complete or accurate, (iii) such analysis is correct or (iv) our strategy, which is based in part on this analysis, will be successful. All forward-looking statements in this report apply only as of the date of this report or as of the date they were made and, except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

All references to “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Gardner Denver” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q mean Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. is a holding company whose operating subsidiaries are Gardner Denver, Inc. (“GDI”) and certain of GDI’s subsidiaries. GDI is a diversified, global manufacturer of highly engineered, application-critical flow control products and provider of related aftermarket parts and services. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “Gardner Denver” or the “Company”). The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2017 has been prepared from the books and records of the Company without audit. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of adjustments associated with acquisition accounting and normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The results of operations for the interim periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In May 2017, the Company sold a total of 47,495,000 shares of common stock in an initial public offering of shares of common stock. On November 15, 2017 and May 2, 2018, the Company completed secondary offerings of 25,300,000 shares and 30,533,478 shares respectively, of common stock held by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”). As a result of the May 2018 secondary offering, the Company is no longer considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). KKR currently owns 90,721,409 shares of common stock, or approximately 46% of the total outstanding common stock based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2018.

Prior Year Reclassification

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). The reclassification of certain prior year amounts as a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 is detailed below in the section “Adopted Accounting Standard Updates” within this Note 1 “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”)

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective approach. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company is required to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, the date of initial application. The cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 was immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Therefore, the Company did not record a cumulative transition adjustment.

Index

In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 606, the Company updated its significant accounting policy related to revenue recognition disclosed in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. An overview of the Company’s revenue recognition policy under ASC 606 is included in Note 12 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

Results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 are presented under ASC 606. Prior periods are not adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). However, during fiscal year 2018, the Company is required to provide additional disclosures presenting the amount by which each 2018 financial statement line item was affected as a result of applying ASC 606 and an explanation of significant changes in order to present 2018 on a comparative basis under ASC 605.

The following table summarizes the impacts of adopting ASC 606 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2018.

ASU 2017-07 Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) – Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

The Company adopted FASB ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018, the adoption date. The Company applied ASU 2017-07 retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in assets. ASU 2017-07 allows the Company to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. Applying the practical expedient, the Company reclassified $0.1 million and $0.2 million of expenses from “Selling and administrative expenses” to “Other income, net” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017.

ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

The Company early adopted FASB ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”) on January 1, 2018, the adoption date, using the modified retrospective approach. As of the adoption date, the Company was the fixed rate payor on 12 interest rate swap contracts that fixed the LIBOR-based index used to determine the interest rates charged on a total of $1,125.0 million of the Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings. The Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment on the adoption date increasing the opening balance of the “Accumulated deficit” line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets by $0.3 million and decreasing the “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets by $0.3 million.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this update will replace most of the existing GAAP lease accounting guidance in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU is effective for public companies beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The ASU requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. During March 2018, the FASB approved amendments to create an optional transition method that will provide an option to use the effective date of Topic 842 as the date of initial application of the transition.

The Company established an implementation team and selected a third party lease accounting software solution which will serve as a central repository of active leases and assist in the compliance with the new reporting requirements. The implementation team has been reassessing business processes, drafting an internal policy to address the new standard, extracting lease data for inclusion in the new lease software, determining a process to identify and update the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and understanding the impact on disclosures. The team is also determining which practical expedients to elect. The Company is still finalizing its evaluation of the impact of the new lease standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and expects to record right of use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will adopt the new standard utilizing the optional transition method.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only related to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The ASU is effective for public companies beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. The guidance is effective for public companies beginning in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and evaluating the timing of adoption.

Index

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in this eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans. The guidance is effective for public companies beginning with its annual report for fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and evaluating the timing of adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40); Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this update require implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (i.e., hosting arrangements) to be capitalized under the same premises of authoritative guidance for internal-use software, and deferred over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing arrangement plus any option renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or for which the exercise is controlled by the service provider. The Company is required to adopt this new guidance in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and evaluating the timing of adoption.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In connection with the KKR Transaction, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement with UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent, and other agents and lenders party thereto (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) on July 30, 2013.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities entered into on July 30, 2013 provided senior secured financing in the equivalent of approximately $2,825.0 million, consisting of: (i) a senior secured term loan facility (the “Original Dollar Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,900.0 million; (ii) a senior secured term loan facility (the “Original Euro Term Loan Facility,” together with the Original Dollar Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of €400.0 million; and (iii) a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million available to be drawn in U.S. dollars (“USD”), Euros (“EUR”), Great British Pounds (“GBP”) and other reasonably acceptable foreign currencies, subject to certain sublimits for the foreign currencies.

The Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities with UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent, and the lenders and other parties thereto on March 4, 2016 (“Amendment No.1”) and Amendment No. 2 to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities with UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent, and other agents, lenders and parties thereto on August 17, 2017 (“Amendment No. 2”).

Amendment No. 1 reduced the aggregate principal borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility by $40.0 million to $360.0 million, extended the term of the Revolving Credit Facility to April 30, 2020 with respect to consenting lenders and provided for customary bail-in provisions to address certain European regulatory requirements.

Amendment No. 2 refinanced the Original Dollar Term Loan Facility with a replacement $1,285.5 million senior secured U.S. dollar term loan facility (the ‘‘Dollar Term Loan Facility’’) and the Original Euro Term Loan Facility with a replacement €615.0 million senior secured euro term loan facility (the ‘‘Euro Term Loan Facility’’). Further the maturity for both term loan facilities was extended to July 30, 2024 and LIBOR Floor was reduced from 1.0% to 0.0%.

Index

On July 30, 2018, the Revolving Credit Facility principal borrowing capacity decreased to $269.9 million resulting from the maturity of the tranches of the Revolving Credit Facility which were owned by lenders that elected not to modify the original Revolving Credit Facility maturity date.

Any principal amounts outstanding as of April 30, 2020 will be due at that time and required to be paid in full.

The borrower of the Dollar Term Loan Facility and the Euro Term Loan Facility is Gardner Denver, Inc. Prior to the Company entering into Amendment No. 1, GD German Holdings II GmbH became an additional borrower and successor in interest to Gardner Denver Holdings GmbH & Co. KG. GD German Holdings II GmbH, GD First (UK) Limited and Gardner Denver, Inc. are the listed borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit up to $200.0 million and for borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as swingline loans. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $6.3 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and unused availability of $263.6 million.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities provide that the Company will have the right at any time to request incremental term loans and/or revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to (i) if as of the last day of the most recently ended test period the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) is equal to or less than 5.50 to 1.00, $250.0 million plus (ii) voluntary prepayments and voluntary commitment reductions of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities prior to the date of any such incurrence plus (iii) an additional amount if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, the Company does not exceed a Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio of 4.50 to 1.00. The lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are not under any obligation to provide any such incremental commitments or loans, and any such addition of, or increase in commitments or loans, will be subject to certain customary conditions.

Interest Rate and Fees

Borrowings under the Dollar Term Loan Facility, the Euro Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) the greater of LIBOR for the relevant interest period or 0.00% per annum, in each case adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin or (b) a base rate (the ‘‘Base Rate’’) equal to the highest of (1) the rate of interest publicly announced by the administrative agent as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in Stamford, Connecticut, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (3) LIBOR for an interest period of one month, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus 1.00%, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for (i) the Dollar Term Loan Facility is 2.75% for LIBOR loans and 1.75% for Base Rate loans, (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility is 2.75% for LIBOR loans and 1.75% for Base Rate loans and (iii) the Euro Term Loan is 3.00% for LIBOR loans.

The applicable margins under the Revolving Credit Facility may decrease based upon the Company’s achievement of certain Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratios. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The commitment fee rate was reduced to 0.375% because the Company’s Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0. The Company must also pay customary letter of credit fees.

Prepayments

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with: (i) 50% of annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (which percentage will be reduced to 25% if the Company’s Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00, and which prepayment will not be required if the Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00); (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property, subject to reinvestment rights; and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to the scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loan Facilities in direct order of maturity.

Index

Subject to the following sentence, the Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain customary conditions, including reimbursements of the lenders’ redeployment costs actually incurred in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

Amortization and Final Maturity

The Dollar Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the Dollar Term Loan Facility, with the balance being payable on July 30, 2024. In June 2018 and September 2018, the Company used excess cash to repay $100.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, of principal on outstanding borrowings under the Dollar Term Loan Facility. In June 2018, the principal prepayment was first applied to the quarterly installments with the remaining balance used to reduce the balance due on July 30, 2024. As a result of the June 2018 prepayment, the Company is no longer subject to mandatory quarterly principal installment payments on the Dollar Term Loan Facility. The prepayments resulted in the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, included in the “Loss on Debt Extinguishment” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Euro Term Loan Facility includes repayments in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the Euro Term Loan Facility, with the balance being payable on July 30, 2024.

Amendment No. 1 reduced the minimum aggregate principal amount for extension amendments to the facilities from $50.0 million to $35.0 million.

Guarantee and Security

All obligations of the borrowers under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and all of its material, wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiaries, with customary exceptions including where providing such guarantees are not permitted by law, regulation or contract or would result in adverse tax consequences.

All obligations of the borrowers under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and the guarantees of such obligations, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and each guarantor, including but not limited to: (i) a perfected pledge of the capital stock issued by the borrowers and each subsidiary guarantor and (ii) perfected security interests in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers and the guarantors (subject to certain exceptions and exclusions). The obligations of the non-U.S. borrowers are secured by certain assets in jurisdictions outside of the United States.

Certain Covenants and Events of Default

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; create or incur liens; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; create limitations on subsidiary distributions; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase its own capital stock; and make investments, loans or advances, prepayments of junior financings, or other restricted payments. In addition, certain restricted payments constituting dividends or distributions (subject to certain exceptions) are subject to compliance with a Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) of 5.00 to 1.00. Investments in unrestricted subsidiaries are permitted up to an aggregate amount that does not exceed the greater of $100.0 million or 25% of Consolidated EBITDA.

The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the Company’s Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio to not exceed 7.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter when outstanding revolving credit loans and swingline loans plus non-cash collateralized letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding (i) letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $80.0 million existing on the date of the closing of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and any extensions thereof, replacement letters of credit or letters of credit issued in lieu thereof, in each case, to the extent the face amount of such letters of credit is not increased above the face amount of the letter of credit being extended, replaced or substituted and (ii) other non-cash collateralized letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25.0 million, provided that the aggregate amount of non-cash collateralized letters of credit outstanding excluded pursuant to this provision shall not exceed $50.0 million) exceed $120.0 million.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities also contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control.

Receivables Financing Agreement

In May 2016, the Company entered into the Receivables Financing Agreement, providing for aggregated borrowing of up to $75.0 million governed by a borrowing base. The Receivables Financing Agreement provides for a lower cost alternative in the issuance of letters of credit with the remaining unused capacity providing additional liquidity. On June 30, 2017, the Company signed the first amendment of the Receivables Financing Agreement which increased the aggregated borrowing capacity by $50.0 million to $125.0 million governed by a borrowing base and extended the term to June 30, 2020. The Receivables Financing Agreement terminates on June 30, 2020, unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement and $27.3 million of letters of credit outstanding. As of September 30, 2018 there was $81.4 million of capacity available under the Receivables Financing Agreement.

Borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted LIBOR or a base rate, plus 1.6%. Letters of credit accrue interest at 1.6%. The Company may prepay borrowings or letters of credit or draw on the Receivables Financing Agreement upon one business day prior written notice and may terminate the Receivables Financing Agreement with 15 days’ prior written notice.

As part of the Receivables Financing Agreement, eligible accounts receivable of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are sold to a wholly owned “bankruptcy remote” special purpose vehicle (“SPV”). The SPV pledges the receivables as security for loans and letters of credit. The SPV is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and therefore, the accounts receivable owned by it are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the accounts receivable owned by the SPV are separate and distinct from the Company’s other assets and are not available to the Company’s other creditors should we become insolvent.

The Receivables Financing Agreement contains various customary representations and warranties and covenants, and default provisions which provide for the termination and acceleration of the commitments and loans under the agreement in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, breach of representations, warranties or covenants, certain insolvency events or failure to maintain the security interest in the trade receivables, a change in control and defaults under other material indebtedness.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has outstanding stock-based compensation awards granted under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”) and the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”) as described in Note 15, “Stock-Based Compensation” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Prior to the Company’s initial public offering in May 2017, the Company had certain repurchase rights on stock acquired through the exercise of a stock option that created an implicit service period and created a condition in which an optionee may not receive the economic benefits of the option until the repurchase rights are eliminated. The repurchase rights creating the implicit service period were eliminated at the earlier of an initial public offering or change of control event. Before the elimination of the repurchase rights, because an initial public offering or change of control were not probable of occurring, no compensation expense was recorded for equity awards. The Company recognized a liability for compensation expense measured at intrinsic value when it was probable that an employee would receive benefits under the terms of the plan due to the termination of employment.

Under the terms of the 2013 Plan, concurrent with the initial public offering, the Company no longer retains repurchase rights on stock acquired through the exercise of a stock option and the implicit service period was eliminated on outstanding stock options.

In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $7.8 million and $69.2 million, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million and $6.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively. These costs are included in “Other operating expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The $6.1 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 included expense for modifications of equity awards for certain former employees of $3.8 million and expense for equity awards granted under the 2013 Plan and 2017 Plan of $5.3 million reduced by a benefit for a reduction in the liability for stock appreciation rights (“SAR”) of $3.0 million.

Index

The $3.8 million stock-based compensation expense for modifications for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 provided continued vesting through scheduled vesting dates and extended expiration dates for certain former employees. The incremental stock-based compensation was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on assumptions which included expected lives of 1.0 to 1.3 years, a risk-free rate of 2.0%, assumed volatility of 26.8% to 27.3% and an expected dividend rate of 0.0%.

As of September 30, 2018, there was $22.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards.

SARs, granted under the 2013 Plan are expected to be settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards. As of September 30, 2018, a liability of approximately $13.8 million for SARs was included in “Accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stock Option Awards

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted (excluding previously disclosed modified awards) during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

	Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2018			Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2017
Assumptions:
Expected life of options (in years)		7.0 - 7.5			5.0 - 6.3

Deferred Stock Units

Concurrent with the Company’s initial public offering in May of 2017, the Company’s Board authorized the grant of 5.5 million deferred stock units (“DSU”) to all permanent employees that had not previously received stock-based awards under the 2013 Plan. The DSUs vested immediately upon grant, however contained restrictions such that the employee may not sell or otherwise realize the economic benefits of the award until certain dates through April 2019. $2.0 million and $96.8 million of compensation expense for the DSU awards was recognized in the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and included in “Other operating expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of the date of the grant, the fair value of a DSU was determined to be $17.20 assuming a share price at the pricing date of the initial public offering of $20.00 and a discount for lack of marketability commensurate with the period of the sale restrictions. The Company estimated the fair value of DSUs at the time of grant using the Finnerty discount for lack of marketability pricing model. The model assumed a holding restriction period of 1.42 years and volatility of 51.5%.

Note 11. Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements

Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of its business arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”), including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage the risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, respectively. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates can be volatile, and the Company’s risk management activities do not totally eliminate these risks. Consequently, these fluctuations could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results.

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from its variable-rate borrowings. The Company manages its debt centrally, considering tax consequences and its overall financing strategies. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed and variable rate debt and, from time to time, using pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt in order to adjust the relative fixed and variable proportions.

A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is conducted by its subsidiaries outside of the United States in currencies other than the USD. Almost all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Other than the USD, the EUR, GBP, and Chinese Yuan are the principal currencies in which the Company and its subsidiaries enter into transactions. The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities and earnings into USD. The Company has certain U.S. subsidiaries borrow in currencies other than the USD.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances monthly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. These contracts for the sale or purchase of European and other currencies generally mature within one year.

Notional amounts represent the gross contract amounts of the outstanding derivatives excluding the total notional amount of positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions. The net gains and net losses associated with positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions but not yet settled are included in the asset and liability derivatives fair value columns, respectively.

Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, are as presented in the table below. See Note 1 “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a discussion of the adoption of ASU 2017-12.

⁽¹⁾

Losses on derivatives reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into income (effective portion) were included in “Interest expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

⁽²⁾

During the three month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company used excess cash to pay down $150.0 million of its Dollar Term Loan Facility. Due to this unforecasted pay down of debt, the Company paid $2.7 million in the amendment of the interest rate swap contracts to reflect the updated forecasted cash flows. The updated forecasts caused certain hedged items to be deemed probable of not occurring in the future and thus, the Company accelerated the release of AOCI related to those hedged items. Losses reclassified from AOCI into income (missed forecast) were included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Index

As of September 30, 2018, the Company is the fixed rate payor on 11 interest rate swap contracts that effectively fix the LIBOR-based index used to determine the interest rates charged on a total of $1,025.0 million of the Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings. These contracts carry fixed rates ranging from 3.3% to 4.3% and have expiration dates ranging from 2018 to 2020. These swap agreements qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. Based on LIBOR-based swap yield curves as of September 30, 2018, the Company expects to reclassify losses of $13.3 million out of AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months. The Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2018 were $1,025.9 million and €608.9 million.

The Company had two foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2018 with notional amounts of $9.3 million and $17.2 million. These contracts are used to hedge the change in fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities caused by changes in currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair value of these contracts generally offset the changes in the fair value of a corresponding amount of the hedged items, both of which are included in the “Other operating expense, net” line on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are subject to master netting arrangements or agreements between the Company and each counterparty for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract with that certain counterparty. It is the Company’s practice to recognize the gross amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount available to be netted is not material.

The Company’s (losses) gains on derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges and total net foreign currency (losses) gains for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows.

	For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30,						For the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30,
	2018			2017			2018		2017
Foreign currency forward contracts (losses) gains	$	(0.4	)	$	(1.8	)	$	5.8	$	(6.7	)
Total foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net		0.8			(1.7	)		0.6		(6.3	)

The Company has a significant investment in consolidated subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the USD, particularly the EUR. The Company designated its Original Euro Term Loan as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in subsidiaries with EUR functional currencies in 2017 until it was extinguished and replaced on August 17, 2017 by a €615.0 million Euro Term Loan, further described in Note 8 “Debt.” On August 17, 2017, the Company designated the €615.0 million Euro Term Loan as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in subsidiaries with EUR functional currencies. As of September 30, 2018, the Euro Term Loan of €608.9 million remained designated.

For the period from January 1, 2017 to August 16, 2017, the Company designated two cross currency interest rate swaps, each with a USD notional amount of $100.0 million as hedges of its net investment in EUR functional subsidiaries. Both cross currency interest rate swaps were terminated on August 16, 2017. The losses and gains from the change in the fair value of the designated net investment hedges were recorded through other comprehensive income. The recorded Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income at the termination of the cross currency interest rate swaps will remain in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income until there is a substantial liquidation of the Company’s net investment in subsidiaries with EUR functional currencies.

The Company’s gains and (losses), net of income tax, associated with changes in the value of debt and designated cross currency interest rate swaps for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the net balance of such gains and (losses) included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows.

	For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30,					For the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30,

Index

For the periods presented, all cash flows associated with derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Fair Value Measurements

A financial instrument is defined as cash or cash equivalents, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instruments from another party. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables, trade accounts payables, deferred compensation assets and obligations, derivatives and debt instruments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables, trade accounts payables, and variable rate debt instruments are a reasonable estimate of their respective fair values.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or more advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure the fair value as follows.

Level 1

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2

Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018.

Note 12. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Overview

The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. See Note 1 “Condensed Consolidated Financial Systems” for further discussion of the adoption.

Index

The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized includes adjustments for any variable consideration, such as rebates, sales discounts, liquidated damages, etc., which are included in the transaction price, and allocated to each performance obligation. The variable consideration is estimated throughout the course of the contract using the Company’s best estimates. Judgments impacting variable consideration related to material rebate and sales discount programs, and significant contracts containing liquidated damage clauses are governed by robust management review processes.

The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from short duration contracts and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when control is transferred to the customer, generally at shipment or when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered.

The Company has certain long duration engineered to order (“ETO”) contracts that require highly engineered solutions designed to customer specific applications. For contracts where the contractual deliverables have no alternative use and the contract termination clauses provide for the recovery of cost plus a reasonable margin, revenue is recognized over time based on the Company’s progress in satisfying the contractual performance obligations, generally measured as the ratio of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs to complete the contract. For contracts with termination provisions that do not provide for recovery of cost and a reasonable margin, revenue is recognized at a point in time, generally at shipment or delivery to the customer. Identification of performance obligations, determination of alternative use, assessment of contractual language regarding termination provisions, and estimation of total project costs are all significant judgments required in the application of ASC 606.

Contractual specifications and requirements may be modified. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. In the event a contract modification is for goods or services that are not distinct in the contract, and therefore, form part of a single performance obligation that is partially satisfied as of the modification date, the effect of the contract modification on the transaction price and the Company’s measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Taxes assessed by a government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Sales commissions are due at the earlier of collection of payment from customers or recognition of revenue. Applying the practical expedient from ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in the “Selling and administrative expenses” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Performance Obligations

The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer goods and/or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company utilizes observable prices to determine standalone selling price or cost plus margin if a standalone price is not available. The Company has elected to expense shipping and handling costs as incurred.

The Company’s primary performance obligations include delivering standard or configured to order (“CTO”) goods to customers, designing and manufacturing a broad range of equipment customized to a customer’s specifications in ETO arrangements, rendering of services (maintenance and repair contracts) and certain extended or service type warranties. For incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract, costs are expensed as incurred or accrued at delivery.

As of September 30, 2018, for contracts with an original duration greater than one year, the Company expects to recognize revenue in the future related to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations of $168.0 million in the next twelve months and $72.9 million in periods thereafter. The performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) are primarily related to orders for goods or services that were placed prior to the end of the reporting period and have not been delivered to the customer, on-going work on ETO contracts where revenue is recognized over time, and service contracts with an original duration greater than one year.

Contract Balances

The following table provides the contract balances as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $19.1 and $18.7, respectively	$	525.0	$	536.3
Contract assets		13.9		-
Contract liabilities		90.5		42.7

Accounts receivable – Amounts due where the Company's right to receive cash is unconditional.

Contract assets – The Company's rights to consideration for the satisfaction of performance obligations subject to constraints apart from timing. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to collect consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets are presented net of progress billings and related advances from customers.

Contract liabilities – Advance payments received from customers for contracts for which revenue is not yet recognized. The increase in the contract liabilities account as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was due primarily to the acquisition of Runtech of $29.6 million. The remaining change is due to the timing of milestone payments received related to projects for production later this year, partially offset by contract liability balances converted to revenue in the period. Contract liability balances are generally recognized in revenue within twelve months.

Contract assets and liabilities are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets and liabilities are presented net on a contract level, where required.

Payments from customers are generally due 30-60 days after invoicing. Invoicing for sales of standard products generally coincides with shipment or delivery of goods. Invoicing for CTO and ETO contracts typically follows a schedule for billing at contractual milestones. Payments milestones normally include down payments upon the contract signing, completion of product design, completion of customer's preliminary inspection, shipment or delivery, completion of installation, and customer's on-site inspection. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has elected the practical expedient from ASC 606-10-32-18 and does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a financing component if, at contract inception, the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

Note 13. Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that affected 2017, including, but not limited to, (1) requiring a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries that is payable over eight years and (2) bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property.

The Tax Act also establishes new tax laws that affected 2018, including, but not limited to (1) the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2) the elimination of the corporate alternative minimum tax ("AMT"); (3) the creation of the base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT"), a new minimum tax; (4) a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; (5) a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), which allows for the possibility of using foreign tax credits ("FTC") and a deduction of up to 50% to offset the income tax liability (subject to some limitations); (6) a new limitation on deductible interest expense; (7) the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction; (8) limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation; (9) limitations on the use of FTCs to reduce the U.S. income tax liability; and (10) limitations on net operating losses ("NOL") generated after December 31, 2017, to 80% of taxable income.

Index

The SEC staff issued SAB 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company's accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, a company must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, a company should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.

The Company has not completed the accounting for the income tax effects of certain elements of the Tax Act. If the Company was able to make reasonable estimates of the effects of elements for which an analysis is not yet complete, the Company recorded provisional adjustments, as described above. If the Company was not yet able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of certain elements, the Company has not recorded any adjustments related to those elements and have continued accounting for them in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of the tax laws in effect before the Tax Act. As the Company completes the accounting of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the Company anticipates that additional charges or benefits may be recorded at such time as prescribed by ASC 740 and SAB 118, and as further information becomes available regarding the Tax Act, the Company may make further adjustments to the provisions that have been recorded in the financial statements. The Company also continues to examine the impact of this tax reform legislation.

The Tax Act reduces the corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. While the Company was able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact of the reduction in the corporate rate, that estimate may be affected by other analyses related to the Tax Act, including, but not limited to, a calculation of deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income and the state tax effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, the benefit recognized of $89.6 million in 2017 was increased by $8.2 million to $97.8 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2018. No additional changes were made to the $69.0 million benefit related to the reduction of the ASC 740-30 liability. These both remain estimates as of September 30, 2018.

The Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax ("Transition Tax") is a tax on previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits ("E&P") of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. To determine the amount of the Transition Tax, we must determine, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-1986 E&P of the relevant subsidiaries, the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings, and the impact of the accumulated overall foreign source loss on the Company's ability to utilize foreign tax credits. As of the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company revised its estimate for the Transition Tax obligation to $51.7 million from the $63.3 million expensed in 2017. The Company continues to gather additional information to more precisely compute the amount of the Transition Tax obligation. The Transition Tax obligation remains an estimate as of September 30, 2018.

The Company's accounting for the following elements of the Tax Act is incomplete, and no provisional adjustments, other than the adjustment related to the effects of the transitional tax, were recorded related to ASC 740-30.

Due to complexities, the Company has not yet determined if a change to the policy concerning permanent reinvestment will be made as a result of the Tax Act. No additional adjustments relating to ASC 740-30 have been recorded in accordance with SAB 118.

For 2018, the Tax Act creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e., GILTI) earned by controlled foreign corporations ("CFC") must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs' U.S. shareholder. GILTI is the excess of the shareholder's "net CFC tested income" over the net deemed tangible income return, which is currently defined as the excess of (1) 10% of the aggregate of the U.S. shareholder's pro rata share of the qualified business asset investment of each CFC with respect to which it is a U.S. shareholder over (2) the amount of certain interest expense taken into account in the determination of net CFC-tested income.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the "period cost method") or (2) factoring such amounts into a company's measurement of its deferred taxes (the "deferred method"). The Company has determined that it will follow the period costs method (option 1 above) going forward. The tax provision for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 reflects this decision. All of the additional calculations and rule changes found in the Tax Act have been considered in the tax provision for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018.

Index

The following table summarizes the Company's provision (benefit) for income taxes and effective income tax provision rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

	For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30,						For the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Income (loss) before income taxes	$	94.8		$	32.4		$	238.1		$	(166.3	)

Effective income tax rate		23.8	%		13.6	%		26.5	%		24.8	%

The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same three month period in 2017 is primarily due to the overall increase in global earnings when compared to the prior year. The effective income tax provision rate was impacted by the increase in global earnings and reduced by the windfall tax benefit to result in an overall increase in the rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same three month period of 2017.

The increase in the provision for income taxes and increase in the effective income tax provision rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same nine month period of 2017 is primarily due to the overall increase in global earnings when compared to the prior year.

Note 15. Contingencies

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions, which are of an ordinary or routine nature for a company of its size and sector. The Company believes that such proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions will not materially adversely affect its operations, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position. A more detailed discussion of certain of these proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions is set forth below.

Asbestos and Silica Related Litigation

The Company has also been named as a defendant in a number of asbestos-related and silica-related personal injury lawsuits. The plaintiffs in these suits allege exposure to asbestos or silica from multiple sources and typically the Company is one of approximately 25 or more named defendants.

Predecessors to the Company sometimes manufactured, distributed and/or sold products allegedly at issue in the pending asbestos and silica-related lawsuits (the "Products"). However, neither the Company nor its predecessors ever mined, manufactured, mixed, produced or distributed asbestos fiber or silica sand, the materials that allegedly caused the injury underlying the lawsuits. Moreover, the asbestos-containing components of the Products, if any, were enclosed within the subject Products.

Although the Company has never mined, manufactured, mixed, produced or distributed asbestos fiber or silica sand nor sold products that could result in a direct asbestos or silica exposure, many of the companies that did engage in such activities or produced such products are no longer in operation. This has led to law firms seeking potential alternative companies to name in lawsuits where there has been an asbestos or silica related injury.

The Company believes that the pending and future asbestos and silica-related lawsuits are not likely to, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, based on: the Company's anticipated insurance and indemnification rights to address the risks of such matters; the limited potential asbestos exposure from the Products described above; the Company's experience that the vast majority of plaintiffs are not impaired with a disease attributable to alleged exposure to asbestos or silica from or relating to the Products or for which the Company otherwise bears responsibility; various potential defenses available to the Company with respect to such matters; and the Company's prior disposition of comparable matters. However, inherent uncertainties of litigation and future developments, including, without limitation, potential insolvencies of insurance companies or other defendants, an adverse determination in the Adams County Case (discussed below), or other inability to collect from the Company's historical insurers or indemnitors, could cause a different outcome. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on presently known facts, experience, and circumstances, the Company believes that the amounts accrued on its balance sheet are adequate and that the liabilities arising from the asbestos and silica-related personal injury lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet include a total litigation reserve of $98.3 million and $105.6 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, with respect to potential liability arising from the Company's asbestos-related litigation. Asbestos related defense costs are excluded from the asbestos claims liability and are recorded separately as services are incurred. In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters may be material to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

The Company has entered into a series of agreements with certain of its or its predecessors' legacy insurers and certain potential indemnitors to secure insurance coverage and/or reimbursement for the costs associated with the asbestos and silica-related lawsuits filed against the Company. The Company has also pursued litigation against certain insurers or indemnitors, where necessary. The Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos related recoveries of approximately $95.9 million and $100.4 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which was included in "Other assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 the Company received asbestos related insurance recoveries of $10.1 million, of which $4.5 million related to the recovery of indemnity payments, and was recorded as a reduction of the insurance recovery receivable in "Other assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and $5.6 million related to reimbursement of previously expensed legal defense costs, and was recorded as a reduction of "Selling and administrative expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The largest such recent action, Gardner Denver, Inc. v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's, London, et al., was filed on July 9, 2010, in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, Adams County, Illinois, as case number 10-L-48 (the "Adams County Case"). In the lawsuit, the Company seeks, among other things, to require certain excess insurer defendants to honor their insurance policy obligations to the Company, including payment in whole or in part of the costs associated with the asbestos-related lawsuits filed against the Company. In October 2011, the Company reached a settlement with one of the insurer defendants, which had issued both primary and excess policies, for approximately the amount of such defendant's policies that were subject to the lawsuit. Since then, the case has been proceeding through the discovery and motions process with the remaining insurer defendants. On January 29, 2016, the Company prevailed on the first phase of that discovery and motions process ("Phase I"). Specifically, the Court in the Adams County Case ruled that the Company has rights under all of the policies in the case, subject to their terms and conditions, even though the policies were sold to the Company's former owners rather than to the Company itself. On June 9, 2016, the Court denied a motion by several of the insurers who sought permission to appeal the Phase I ruling immediately rather than waiting until the end of the whole case as is normally required. The case is now proceeding through the discovery process regarding the remaining issues in dispute ("Phase II").

A majority of the Company's expected future recoveries of the costs associated with the asbestos-related lawsuits are the subject of the Adams County Case.

The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance recoveries are based on currently available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable based on an evaluation of relevant factors. The actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be higher or lower than those recorded if actual results vary significantly from the assumptions. There are a number of key variables and assumptions including the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the resolution or outcome of these claims, the average cost of resolution of each new claim, the amount of insurance available, allocation methodologies, the contractual terms with each insurer with whom the Company has reached settlements, the resolution of coverage issues with other excess insurance carriers with whom the Company has not yet achieved settlements, and the solvency risk with respect to the Company's insurance carriers. Other factors that may affect the future liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, legal rulings that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal legislation. The Company makes the necessary adjustments for the asbestos liability and corresponding insurance recoveries on an annual basis unless facts or circumstances warrant assessment as of an interim date.

Environmental Matters

The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") with respect to several sites designated for cleanup under U.S. federal "Superfund" or similar state laws that impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages. Persons potentially liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at those sites. Although these laws impose joint and several liability on PRPs, in application the PRPs typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon the volume of waste contributed by each PRP. Based on currently available information, the Company was only a small contributor to these waste sites, and the Company has, or is attempting to negotiate, de minimis settlements for their cleanup. The cleanup of the remaining sites is substantially complete and the Company's future obligations entail a share of the sites' ongoing operating and maintenance expense. The Company is also addressing four on-site cleanups for which it is the primary responsible party. Three of these cleanup sites are in the operation and maintenance stage and one is in the implementation stage.

The Company has undiscounted accrued liabilities of $7.0 million and $7.5 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to the extent costs are known or can be reasonably estimated for its remaining financial obligations for the environmental matters discussed above and does not anticipate that any of these matters will result in material additional costs beyond amounts accrued. Based upon consideration of currently available information, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations, or cleanup costs relating to these matters.

Overview

Our Company

We are a leading global provider of mission-critical flow control and compression equipment and associated aftermarket parts, consumables and services, which we sell across multiple attractive end-markets within the industrial, energy and medical industries. We manufacture one of the broadest and most complete ranges of compressor, pump, vacuum and blower products in our markets, which, combined with our global geographic footprint and application expertise, allows us to provide differentiated product and service offerings to our customers. Our products are sold under a collection of premier, market-leading brands, including Gardner Denver, CompAir, Nash, Emco Wheaton, Robuschi, Elmo Rietschle and Thomas, which we believe are globally recognized in their respective end-markets and known for product quality, reliability, efficiency and superior customer service.

Our Segments

We report our results of operations through three reportable segments: Industrials, Energy and Medical.

Industrials

We design, manufacture, market and service a broad range of air compression, vacuum and blower products, including associated aftermarket parts, consumables and services, across a wide array of technologies and applications for use in diverse end-markets. Compressors are used to increase the pressure of air or gas, vacuum products are used to remove air or gas in order to reduce the pressure below atmospheric levels and blower products are used to produce a high volume of air or gas at low pressure. We sell our Industrials products through an integrated network of direct sales representatives and independent distributors, which is strategically tailored to meet the dynamics of each target geography or end-market.

Energy

We design, manufacture, market and service a diverse range of positive displacement pumps, liquid ring vacuum pumps, compressors and integrated systems, engineered fluid loading and transfer equipment and associated aftermarket parts, consumables and services. The highly engineered products offered by our Energy segment serve customers across upstream, midstream and downstream energy markets, as well as petrochemical processing, transportation and general industrial sectors.

Medical

We design, manufacture and market a broad range of highly specialized gas, liquid and precision syringe pumps and compressors that are specified by medical and laboratory equipment suppliers and integrated into their final equipment for use in applications, such as oxygen therapy, blood dialysis, patient monitoring, laboratory sterilization and wound treatment, among others. We offer a comprehensive product portfolio across a breadth of pump technologies to address the medical and laboratory sciences pump and fluid handling industry, as well as a range of end-use vacuum products for laboratory science applications, and we recently expanded into liquid pumps and automated liquid handling components and systems.

Components of Our Revenue and Expenses

Revenues

We generate revenue from sales of our highly engineered, application-critical products and by providing associated aftermarket parts, consumables and services. We sell our products and deliver aftermarket services both directly to end-users and through independent distribution channels, depending on the product line and geography. Below is a description of our revenues by segment and factors impacting total revenues.

Industrials Revenue

Our Industrials Segment Revenues are generated primarily through sales of air compression, vacuum and blower products to customers in multiple industries and geographies. A significant portion of our sales in the Industrials segment are made to independent distributors. The majority of Industrials segment revenues are derived from short duration contracts and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when control is transferred to the customer, generally at shipment or when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. Certain contracts may involve significant design engineering to customer specifications, and depending on the contractual terms, revenue is recognized either over the duration of the contract or at contract completion when equipment is delivered to the customer. Our large installed base of products in our Industrials segment drives demand for recurring aftermarket support services primarily composed of replacement part sales to our distribution partners and, to a lesser extent, by directly providing replacement parts and repair and maintenance services to end customers. Revenue for services is recognized when services are performed. Historically, our shipments and revenues have peaked during the fourth quarter as our customers seek to fully utilize annual capital spending budgets.

Energy Revenue

Our Energy Segment Revenues are generated primarily through sales of positive displacement pumps, liquid ring vacuum pumps, compressors and integrated systems and engineered fluid loading and transfer equipment and associated aftermarket parts, consumables and services for use primarily in upstream, midstream, downstream and petrochemical end-markets across multiple geographies. The majority of Energy segment revenues are derived from short duration contracts and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when control is transferred to the customer, generally at shipment or when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. Certain contracts with customers in the mid- and downstream and petrochemical markets are higher sales value and often have longer lead times and involve more application specific engineering. Depending on the contractual terms, revenue is recognized either over the duration of the contract or at contract completion when equipment is delivered to the customer. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable. As a result, the timing of these contracts can result in significant variation in reported revenue from quarter to quarter. Our large installed base of products in our Energy segment drives demand for recurring aftermarket support services to customers, including replacement parts, consumables and repair and maintenance services. The mix of aftermarket to original equipment revenue within the Energy segment is impacted by trends in upstream energy activity in North America. Revenue for services is recognized when services are performed. In response to customer demand for faster access to aftermarket parts and repair services, we expanded our direct aftermarket service locations in our Energy segment, particularly in North American markets driven by upstream energy activity. Energy segment products and aftermarket parts, consumables and services are sold both directly to end customers and through independent distributors, depending on the product category and geography.

Medical Revenue

Our Medical Segment Revenues are generated primarily through sales of highly specialized gas, liquid and precision syringe pumps that are specified by medical and laboratory equipment suppliers for use in medical and laboratory applications. Our products are often subject to extensive collaborative design and specification requirements, as they are generally components specifically designed for, and integrated into, our customers' products. Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, generally at shipment or when delivery has occurred. Our Medical segment also has limited aftermarket revenues related to certain products.

Index

Expenses

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the costs we incur, including purchased materials, labor and overhead related to manufactured products and aftermarket parts sold during a period. Depreciation related to manufacturing equipment and facilities is included in cost of sales. Purchased materials represent the majority of costs of sales, with steel, aluminum, copper and partially finished castings representing our most significant materials inputs. We have instituted a global sourcing strategy to take advantage of coordinated purchasing opportunities of key materials across our manufacturing plant locations.

Cost of sales for services includes the direct costs we incur, including direct labor, parts and other overhead costs including depreciation of equipment and facilities, to deliver repair, maintenance and other field services to our customers.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses consist of (i) salaries and other employee-related expenses for our selling and administrative functions and other activities not associated with the manufacture of products or delivery of services to customers; (ii) facility operating expenses for selling and administrative activities, including office rent, maintenance, depreciation and insurance; (iii) marketing and direct costs of selling products and services to customers including internal and external sales commissions; (iv) research and development expenditures; (v) professional and consultant fees; (vi) Sponsor fees and expenses; (vii) expenses related to our public stock offerings and to establish public company reporting compliance; and (viii) other miscellaneous expenses. Certain corporate expenses, including those related to our shared service centers in the United States and Europe, that directly benefit our businesses are allocated to our business segments. Certain corporate administrative expenses, including corporate executive compensation, incentive compensation adjustments, treasury, certain information technology, internal audit and tax compliance, are not allocated to the business segments.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets includes the periodic amortization of intangible assets recognized when an affiliate of our Sponsor acquired us on July 30, 2013 and intangible assets recognized in connection with businesses we acquired since July 30, 2013, including customer relationships and trademarks.

Other Operating Expense, Net

Other operating expense, net includes foreign currency gains and losses, restructuring charges, certain litigation and contract settlement losses and recoveries, environmental remediation, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related expenses, and other miscellaneous operating expenses.

Benefit or Provision for Income Taxes

The benefit or provision for income taxes includes U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and all non-U.S. income taxes. We are subject to income tax in approximately 32 jurisdictions outside of the United States. Because we conduct operations on a global basis, our effective tax rate depends, and will continue to depend, on the geographic distribution of our pre-tax earnings among several different taxing jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate can also vary based on changes in the tax rates of the different jurisdictions, the availability of tax credits and non-deductible items.

Index

Items Affecting our Reported Results

General Economic Conditions and Capital Spending in the Industries We Serve

Our financial results closely follow changes in the industries and end-markets we serve. Demand for most of our products depends on the level of new capital investment and planned and unplanned maintenance expenditures by our customers. The level of capital expenditures depends, in turn, on the general economic conditions as well as access to capital at reasonable cost. In particular, demand for our Industrials products generally correlates with the rate of total industrial capacity utilization and the rate of change of industrial production. Capacity utilization rates above 80% have historically indicated a strong demand environment for industrial equipment. In our Energy segment, demand for our products that serve upstream energy end-markets are influenced heavily by energy prices and the expectation as to future trends in those prices. Energy prices have historically been cyclical in nature and are affected by a wide range of factors. As energy prices start improving from low levels observed in the first half of 2016, we have observed increases in drilled but uncompleted wells, global land rig count, wells and footage drilled as well as drilling and completion capital expenditures to positively impact our results of operations. In the midstream and downstream portions of our Energy segment, overall economic growth and industrial production, as well as secular trends, impact demand for our products. In our Medical segment we expect demand for our products to be driven by favorable trends, including the growth in healthcare spend and expansion of healthcare systems due to an aging population requiring medical care and increased investment in health solutions and safety infrastructures in emerging economies. Over longer time periods, we believe that demand for all of our products also tends to follow economic growth patterns indicated by the rates of change in the GDP around the world, as augmented by secular trends in each segment. Our ability to grow and our financial performance will also be affected by our ability to address a variety of challenges and opportunities that are a consequence of our global operations, including efficiently utilizing our global sales, manufacturing and distribution capabilities and engineering innovative new product applications for end-users in a variety of geographic markets.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

A significant portion of our revenues, approximately 52% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, was denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Because much of our manufacturing facilities and labor force costs are outside of the United States, a significant portion of our costs are also denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in foreign exchange rates can therefore impact our results of operations and are quantified when significant to our discussion.

Seasonality

Historically, our shipments and revenues have peaked during the fourth quarter as our customers seek to fully utilize annual capital spending budgets. Also, our EMEA operations generally experience a slowdown during the July, August and December holiday seasons. General economic conditions may, however, impact future seasonal variations.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations

As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Key factors affecting the comparability of our results of operations are summarized below.

Upstream Energy

We sell products and provide services to customers in upstream energy markets, primarily in the United States. For the upstream energy end-market, in our Energy segment we manufacture pumps and associated aftermarket products and services used in drilling, hydraulic fracturing and well service applications, while in our Industrials segment we sell dry bulk frac sand blowers, which are used in hydraulic fracturing operations. We refer to these products and services in the Energy and Industrial segments as "upstream energy." Our Medical segment is not exposed to the upstream energy industry.

Our exposure to upstream energy production levels, coupled with reduced exploration activity and the deferral of maintenance and growth in capital expenditures by upstream energy companies, favorably impacted our financial results in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.

The average daily closing of West Texas Intermediate spot market crude oil prices for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 increased to $66.93 from $49.30 in the same period in 2017. As a result, there has been increased exploration activity and capital expenditures by upstream energy companies. According to Baker Hughes, Inc., the average weekly U.S. land rig count increased to 1,001 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 from 841 in 2017, and, according to Spears & Associates, Inc., the annual average monthly new wells drilled in the United States increased to 1,911 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 from 1,822 in the same period in 2017. We have experienced increased demand for our upstream energy products and services in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same nine months in 2017.

Index

Restructuring and Other Business Transformation Initiatives

Our top priority since the completion of the KKR Transaction in 2013 has been the transformation of our business. In 2014, we commenced operational excellence initiatives to streamline our cost structure and support margin expansion, including through manufacturing footprint reduction, selling and administrative expense efficiency, and strategic sourcing in our Industrials segment. This program was revised and expanded in the second quarter of 2016, and also in 2016, similar restructuring programs were announced for the Energy and Medical segments. Restructuring charges, program related facility reorganization, relocation and other costs, and related capital expenditures were impacted most significantly by these business transformation initiatives. These restructuring programs were substantially completed as of December 31, 2017. Under the 2014 to 2016 restructuring programs, we incurred restructuring charges of $2.8 million and $4.9 million in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017.

We announced a restructuring program in the third quarter of 2018 which primarily involves workforce reductions. In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, we incurred restructuring charges of $5.4 million.

In addition, we incurred program related facility reorganization, relocation and other costs of $6.9 million and $3.5 million in the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $19.8 million and $15.6 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

We generally expect that the savings associated with these restructuring programs will recover the associated costs within two to three years of such costs being incurred.

Acquisitions

Given our global reach, market leading position in our various product categories, strong channel access and aftermarket presence and operational excellence competency, we provide an attractive acquisition platform in the flow control and compression equipment sectors. Part of our strategy for growth is to acquire complementary flow control and compression equipment businesses, which provide access to new technologies or geographies or improve our aftermarket offerings.

In June 2017, within our Industrials segment, we acquired a leading North American manufacturer of gas compression equipment and solutions for vapor recovery, biogas and other process and industrial applications for approximately $20.4 million (inclusive of an indemnity holdback of $1.9 million recorded in "Accrued liabilities"). In February 2018, within our Industrials segment, we acquired a leading global manufacturer of turbo vacuum technology systems and optimization solutions for industrial applications for approximately $94.9 million, net of cash acquired. In May 2018, within our Energy segment, we acquired a manufacturer of plungers and other well service pump components for approximately $21.0 million, net of cash acquired (inclusive of a $2.0 million promissory note and a $0.2 million holdback recorded in "Accrued liabilities").

See Note 2 "Business Combinations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for the impact of the acquisitions on revenue and operating earnings from the date of acquisition.

Sponsor Management Fees and Expenses

Through the date of our initial public offering, our Sponsor charged an annual management fee, as well as fees and expenses for services provided. In May 2017, in connection with our initial public offering, the monitoring agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms and we paid a termination fee of approximately $16.2 million. Sponsor fees and expenses, excluding the termination fee, were $1.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Under the terms of the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plans stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million and $6.1 million was recognized for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018.

Under the terms of the 2013 Plan, concurrent with the initial public offering, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $69.2 million related to time-based and performance-based stock options for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017. We also recognized $96.8 million of compensation expense related to a grant of 5.5 million deferred stock units ("DSU") to employees at the date of the initial public offering.

Index

We expect to make stock-based awards to employees and recognize stock-based compensation expense in future periods. Prior to our initial public offering which occurred in May 2017, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized.

Income Taxes

See Note 13 "Income Taxes" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Outlook

Industrials Segment

The mission-critical nature of our Industrials products across manufacturing processes drives a demand environment and outlook that are highly correlated with global and regional industrial production, capacity utilization and long-term GDP growth. In the United States and Europe, we are poised to continue benefiting from expected growth in real GDP, along with a continued rebound in industrial production activity in 2018. In APAC, despite the recent deceleration, GDP growth remains robust. In the third quarter of 2018, we had $313.4 million of orders in our Industrials segment, an increase of 6.5% over the third quarter of 2017, or an 8.0% increase on a constant currency basis.

Energy Segment

Our Energy segment has a diverse range of equipment and associated aftermarket parts, consumables and services for a number of market sectors with energy exposure, spanning upstream, midstream, downstream and petrochemical applications. Demand for certain of our Energy products has historically corresponded to the supply and demand dynamics related to oil and natural gas products, and has been influenced by oil and natural gas prices, the level and intensity of hydraulic fracturing activity, rig count, drilling activity and other economic factors. These factors have caused the level of demand for certain of our Energy products to change at times (both positively and negatively) and we expect these trends to continue in the future. In the third quarter of 2018, we had $260.6 million of orders in our Energy segment, an increase of 3.8% over the third quarter of 2017, or a 5.1% increase on a constant currency basis.

An increased number of drilling rigs have reentered the market as crude oil prices have improved from low points observed during the first half of 2016 and the number of drilled but uncompleted wells has grown 100% from December 2013 to September 2018. Land rig count in the United States has increased 169% from 384 rigs in May 2016 to 1,034 rigs in September 2018 compared to a relatively flat rig count growth in the rest of the world over this same time period. We believe we are well positioned to benefit from the expected growth in drilling rigs and improvements in crude oil prices. In addition, secular industry trends that are driving increased demand of newer, fit-for-purpose equipment with innovations that increase productivity. As a result of our expanded direct aftermarket service locations, particularly within North America, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from both the increasing intensity of hydraulic fracturing activity and the increase in the backlog of drilled but uncompleted wells. There has been recent discussion in the market about Permian take away capacity constraints which may defer some of the previously expected growth coming out of that region until new capacity comes on line, which is anticipated for the first half of 2019 from gas pipelines potentially being converted to crude pipelines, as well as increased pipeline capacity to come on line in the second half of 2019.

Our midstream and downstream products provide relatively stable demand with attractive, long-term growth trends related to an expected increase in the production and transportation of hydrocarbons. Demand for our petrochemical industry products correlates with growth in the development of new petrochemical plants as well as activity levels therein. Advancements in the development of unconventional natural gas resources in North America over the past decade have resulted in the abundant availability of locally sourced natural gas as feedstock for petrochemical plants in North America, supporting long-term growth.

Medical Segment

In 2018, we continue to see an uptick in demand for products and services in the Medical space driven by attractive secular growth trends in the aging population requiring medical care, emerging economies modernizing and expanding their healthcare systems and increased investment globally in health solutions. Our entry into Liquid diaphragm pumps and Liquid Handling Automation Systems is seeing favorable response from the market driven by the need for higher healthcare efficiency, requiring premium and high performance systems. In the third quarter of 2018, we had $73.5 million of orders in our Medical segment, an increase of 20.3% over the third quarter of 2017, or a 21.1% increase on a constant currency basis.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

We manage operations through the three business segments described above. In addition to our consolidated GAAP financial measures, we review various non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are helpful supplemental measures to assist us and investors in evaluating our operating results as they exclude certain items whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of our business. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. We believe that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) including interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions.

We use Free Cash Flow to review the liquidity of our operations. We measure Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measure for us and investors in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service our debt. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities.

Management and our board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in evaluating our operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.

Included in our discussion of our consolidated and segment results below are changes in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA on a Constant Currency basis. Constant Currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. We define Constant Currency revenues and Adjusted EBITDA as total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and use it to determine the Constant Currency revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis. Constant Currency revenues and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated by translating current period revenues and Adjusted EBITDA using corresponding prior period exchange rates. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a Constant Currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not a measure of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliation information.

Revenues

Revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 were $689.3 million, an increase of $39.7 million, or 6.1%, compared to $649.6 million for the same three month period in 2017. The increase in revenues was due primarily to higher revenues from upstream energy exposed markets in our Energy segment (1.5% or $9.7 million), higher volume in our Industrials segment including acquisitions as well as higher volume in other markets in our Energy segment and our Medical segment (4.6% or $30.0 million) and improved pricing (1.2% or $7.7 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currencies (1.2% or $7.7 million). The percentage of consolidated revenues derived from aftermarket parts and services was 39.5% in the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to 40.5% in the same three month period in 2017.

Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 were $1,977.1 million, an increase of $266.7 million, or 15.6% compared to $1,710.4 million for the same nine month period in 2017. The increase in revenues was due primarily to higher revenues from upstream energy exposed markets in our Energy segment (5.2% or $89.4 million), higher volume in our Industrials segment including acquisitions as well as higher volume in other markets in our Energy segment and our Medical segment (6.7% or $114.9 million), the favorable impact of foreign currencies (2.6% or $43.7 million) and improved pricing (1.1% or $18.7 million). The percentage of consolidated revenues derived from aftermarket parts and services was 39.8% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to 42.1% in the same nine month period in 2017.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 was $262.4 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 3.3%, compared to $253.9 million for the same three month period in 2017, and as a percentage of revenues was 38.1% for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 and 39.1% for the same three month period in 2017. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues primarily reflects reduced volume of energy downstream project revenues and growth rates for original equipment revenues greater than growth rates for aftermarket revenues in our Industrials segment.

Gross profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was $743.5 million, an increase of $99.1 million, or 15.6% compared to $644.4 million in the same nine month period in 2017, and as a percentage of revenues was 37.6% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and 37.7% for the same nine month period in 2017. The slight decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues reflects primarily due to growth rates for original equipment revenues greater than growth rates for aftermarket revenues in our Industrials segment offset by increased volume from upstream energy exposed markets.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 was $24.4 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, compared to $30.1 million in the same three month period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to reduced debt as a result of repayments in 2018 and a lower weighted-average interest rate of approximately 5.2% for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to 6.0% in the same three month period in 2017.

Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was $76.5 million, a decrease of $38.9 million, compared to $115.4 million in the same nine month period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to reduced debt as a result of repayments of debt with proceeds from our initial public offering in May 2017 and repayments in 2018, and a lower weighted-average interest rate of approximately 5.1% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to 6.2% in the same nine month period in 2017.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net was $2.4 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $1.8 million, compared to $0.6 million in the same three month period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to the decrease of $1.3 million in the other components of net periodic benefit cost.

Other income, net was $6.7 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $4.3 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same nine month period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to the decrease of $3.9 million in the other components of net periodic benefit cost.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $22.6 million resulting in a 23.8% effective income tax provision rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to a provision for income taxes of $4.4 million resulting in a 13.6% effective income tax rate in the same three month period in 2017. The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same three month period of 2017 is primarily due to the overall increase in global earnings when compared to the prior year. The effective income tax provision rate was impacted by the increase in global earnings and reduced by the windfall tax benefit to result in an overall increase in the rate.

The provision for income taxes was $63.2 million resulting in a 26.5% effective income tax provision for the nine month period ended September 30 2018, compared to a benefit for income taxes of ($41.2) million resulting in a 24.8% effective income tax benefit rate in the same nine month period in 2017. The increase in the provision for income taxes and increase in the effective income tax provision rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same nine month period of 2017 is primarily due to the increase in global earnings.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $72.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net income of $28.0 million in the same three month period in 2017. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher gross profit on increased revenues, reduced interest expense, lower selling and administrative expenses, reduced loss on the extinguishment of debt, and lower other operating expenses, net, partially offset by an increased provision for income taxes and higher amortization expenses.

Net income was $174.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $125.1 million in the same nine month period in 2017. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher gross profit on increased revenues, reduced interest expense, lower selling and administrative expenses, reduced loss on the extinguishment of debt, and lower other operating expenses, net, partially offset by an increased provision for income taxes and higher amortization expenses.

Index

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased $17.5 million to $182.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $164.7 million in the same three month period in 2017. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues increased 100 basis points to 26.4% for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 from 25.4% for the same three month period in 2017. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher volume including acquisitions in our Industrials segment as well as our Medical segment ($16.3 million), lower selling and administrative expenses ($9.0 million), improved pricing ($7.7 million), and increased revenues in upstream energy exposed markets in our Energy segment ($3.5 million), partially offset by lower volume in the other markets in our Energy segment ($5.3 million), the unfavorable impact of foreign currencies ($2.0 million), and growth rates for original equipment revenues greater than growth rates for aftermarket revenues and continued investments in innovation, including research and development and in emerging markets, in our Industrials segment ($7.6 million).

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income increased $17.5 million to $102.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to $85.2 million in the same three month period in 2017. The increase was due to increased Adjusted EBITDA, lower interest expense, and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by a higher income tax provision as adjusted and increased amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets.

Adjusted Net Income increased $126.9 million to $276.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $149.2 million in the same nine month period in 2017. The increase was due to increased Adjusted EBITDA and lower interest expense, partially offset by a higher income tax provision as adjusted, increased depreciation expense and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets.

Segment Results

We classify our businesses into three segments: Industrials, Energy and Medical. Our Corporate operations (as described below) are not discussed separately as any results that had a significant impact on operating results are included in the "Results of Operations" discussion above.

We evaluate the performance of our Segments based on Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability. Our management closely monitors Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate past performance and identify actions required to improve profitability.

The Segment measurements provided to and evaluated by the chief operating decision maker are described in Note 16 "Segment Results" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in this Report.

Included in our discussion of our Segment results below are changes in Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA on a Constant Currency basis. Constant Currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. We define Constant Currency as changes in Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate movements. We use these measures to determine the Constant Currency Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA growth on a year-on-year basis. Constant Currency Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA are calculated by translating current period Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA using prior period exchange rates. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not a measure of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Segment Results for the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

The following tables display Segment Revenues, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Segment Revenues) for each of our Segments and illustrates, on a percentage basis, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA growth.

Industrials Segment Results

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our investment resources include cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and the Receivables Financing Agreement.

Index

As of September 30, 2018, we had $6.3 million of outstanding letters of credit written against the Revolving Credit Facility and $263.6 million of unused availability. We also had $27.3 million of letters of credit outstanding against the Receivables Financing Agreement and $81.4 million of unused availability.

See the description of these line-of-credit resources as well as our outstanding debt obligations in Note 8 "Debt" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and no event of default had occurred or was ongoing.

Liquidity

A substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service requirements, and from the ongoing cost of operations, working capital and capital expenditures.

	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents	$	269.0	$	393.3
Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt		7.9		20.9
Long-term debt		1,747.4		2,019.3
Total debt	$	1,755.3	$	2,040.2

We can increase the borrowing availability under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities by up to $250.0 million in the form of additional commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and/or incremental term loans plus an additional amount so long as we do not exceed a specified senior secured leverage ratio. We can incur additional secured indebtedness under the Term Loan Facilities if certain specified conditions are met under the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Our liquidity requirements are significant primarily due to debt service requirements. See Note 8 "Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Our principal sources of liquidity have been existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Receivables Financing Agreement. Our principal uses of cash will be to provide working capital, meet debt service requirements, fund capital expenditures and finance strategic plans, including possible acquisitions. Additionally, on August 1, 2018 our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $250 million of our common stock over the next two years. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. We may also seek to finance capital expenditures under capital leases or other debt arrangements that provide liquidity or favorable borrowing terms. We continue to consider acquisition opportunities, but the size and timing of any future acquisitions and the related potential capital requirements cannot be predicted. In the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, we may obtain all or a portion of the necessary financing through the incurrence of additional long-term borrowings. As market conditions warrant, we and our major equity holders, including our Sponsor and its affiliates, may from time to time, seek to repurchase debt securities that we have issued or loans that we have borrowed, including the borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Based on our current level of operations and available cash, we believe our cash flow from operations, together with availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Receivables Financing Agreement, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital spending requirements for the foreseeable future. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations or future borrowings may not be available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility or the Receivables Financing Agreement in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to do so depends on, among other factors, prevailing economic conditions, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change in control, we could be required to repay or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions may require additional capital and there can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Index

The majority of our cash is in jurisdictions outside of the United States. However, we believe our U.S. operations will generate sufficient cash flows from operations along with our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Receivables Financing Agreement to satisfy our cash needs in the United States. As a result of the KKR transaction and the significant increase in our long-term debt balance as of July 30, 2013, at the acquisition date, we modified our assertion concerning the permanent reinvestment of undistributed earnings for non-U.S. subsidiaries in these foreign operations. We intend to repatriate certain foreign earnings for the purpose of servicing our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which will result in net U.S. tax liabilities as these foreign earnings are distributed. We have previously asserted that we intend to repatriate about $200.0 million of accumulated earnings and while we currently have sufficient cash flows in the U.S. as of September 30, 2018 we are maintaining that assertion. We are still evaluating our position from a business perspective in light of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and have only adjusted our deferred liability for the impacts of the transitional tax. Our deferred income tax liability related to unremitted earnings as of September 30, 2018 is $9.1 million which consists mainly of withholding taxes. There have been no changes to the policy on the taxation of unremitted earnings as a result of changes to the U.S. Tax Law, in accordance with SAB 118, as we are not currently able to reasonably estimate the impact as of the filing of the quarterly report for the periods ended September 30, 2018.

Working Capital

	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Net Working Capital:
Current assets	$	1,407.5	$	1,463.6
Less: Current liabilities		586.8		561.8
Net working capital	$	820.7	$	901.8

Operating Working Capital:
Accounts receivable and contract assets	$	538.9	$	536.3
Plus: Inventories (excluding LIFO)		536.7		481.1
Less: Accounts payable		320.0		269.7
Less: Contract liabilities		90.5		42.7
Operating working capital	$	665.1	$	705.0

Net working capital decreased $81.1 million to $820.7 million as of September 30, 2018 from $901.8 million as of December 31, 2017. Operating working capital decreased $39.9 million to $665.1 million as of September 30, 2018 from $705.0 million as of December 31, 2017 due to higher accounts payable and higher contract liabilities, partially offset by higher accounts receivable and contract assets and higher inventories. During 2018, management has proactively focused on improving working capital performance, specifically for accounts receivable and accounts payable, through the enhancement of centralized processes designed to improve the timing of customer cash collections and to standardize and extend vendor payment terms and pay practices. Excluding the impact of 2018 acquisitions, these efforts resulted in a decrease in accounts receivable despite increased revenues in the third quarter of 2018 versus the fourth quarter of 2017 and an increase in accounts payable at the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as compared to December 31, 2017. The increase in contract assets resulted from the adoption of ASC 606 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in inventories was primarily due to additions to inventory in anticipation of increased demand for certain products, higher inventory costs related to projects expected to ship later in the year and from the impact of acquisitions in 2018. The increase in contract liabilities was primarily due to an acquisition in the first quarter of 2018 and the timing of customer milestone payments for in-process engineered to order contracts at the end of the third quarter 2018 compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2017.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $214.4 million to $298.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 from $83.9 million in the same nine month period in 2017, primarily due to higher net income (excluding non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, foreign currency transaction losses, and deferred income taxes) and from cash generated by reduced operating working capital.

Operating working capital generated cash of $33.6 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to using cash of $55.4 million in the same nine month period in 2017. Changes in accounts receivable and contract assets used cash of $3.9 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to using cash of $65.9 million in the same nine month period in 2017. Changes in inventory used cash of $44.7 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to using cash of $36.4 million in the nine month period in 2017. Changes in accounts payable generated cash of $57.2 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to generating cash of $39.8 million in the same nine month period in 2017. Changes in contract liabilities generated cash of $25.0 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to generating cash of $7.1 million in the same nine month period in 2017.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities included capital expenditures of $32.1 million and $36.4 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We currently expect capital expenditures to total approximately $50.0 million to $60.0 million for the full year in 2018. Cash paid in business combinations for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $113.6 million and $18.8 million, respectively. Proceeds from the termination of derivatives for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was $6.2 million. Net proceeds from the disposals of property, plant and equipment were $3.1 million and $5.9 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities of $272.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 reflects repayments of long-term borrowings of $262.4 million and purchases of treasury stock of $16.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from stock option exercises of $6.3 million. Cash used in financing activities of $8.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 reflects a premium paid on the extinguishment of senior notes of $29.7 million, purchases of treasury stock of $2.6 million, purchases of shares of noncontrolling interests of $5.2 million, the payment of debt issuance costs of $2.9 million, and net repayments of long-term borrowings of $861.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of share issuance costs of $893.3 million.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow increased $218.7 million to $266.2 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 from $47.5 million in the same nine month period in 2017 due to increased cash provided by operating activities of $214.4 million and a decrease in capital expenditures of $4.3 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are materially likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management has evaluated the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and believe those estimates to be reasonable and appropriate. Certain of these accounting estimates require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Besides the critical accounting estimates related to ASC 606 documented herein, the most significant areas involving management judgments and estimates may be found in the section "Critical Accounting Estimates" of "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Index

Revenue Recognition (ASC 606)

Accounting for long-term ETO contracts which require revenue recognition over time involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For long-term contracts, we estimate the profit on a contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and total expected costs to complete a contract and that profit is recognized over the life of the contract. Such estimates are governed by a robust management review process.

Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may extend for more than a year. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, estimated cost, availability of materials, and the performance of subcontractors.

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our contract-related estimates regularly. We recognize adjustments resulting from changes in estimated profits on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of an adjustment to the amount of profit recognized to date is recorded in the period that adjustment is identified. Revenues and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable.

Environmental Matters

Information with respect to the effect of compliance with environmental protection requirements and resolution of environmental claims on us and our manufacturing operations is contained in Note 18 "Contingencies" of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. We believe that as of September 30, 2018, there have been no material changes to this information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our variable-rate borrowings. We manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed and variable debt, and from time to time, use pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of our variable rate debt in order to adjust the relative fixed and variable portions.

In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from our global business operations. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, transaction gains and losses associated with intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary's functional currency. While future changes in foreign currency exchange rates are difficult to predict, our revenues and earnings may be adversely affected if the U.S. dollar further strengthens.

We seek to minimize our exposure to foreign currency risks through a combination of normal operating activities, including by conducting our international business operations primarily in their functional currencies to match expenses with revenues and the use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and debt denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, to mitigate the risk arising from entering into transactions in currencies other than our functional currencies, we typically settle intercompany trading balances monthly.

Index

As of September 30, 2018, there have been no material changes to our market risk assessment previously disclosed in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
