ALTRA HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts, Altra Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. (“Altra Industrial”), is a leading multi-national designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of electro-mechanical power transmission and motion control products. The Company brings together strong brands covering over 50 product lines with production facilities in nine countries and sales coverage in over 70 countries. The Company’s leading brands include Boston Gear, Warner Electric, TB Wood’s, Formsprag Clutch, Ameridrives Couplings, Industrial Clutch, Kilian Manufacturing, Marland Clutch, Nuttall Gear, Stieber Clutch, Wichita Clutch, Twiflex Limited, Bibby Transmissions, Matrix International, Inertia Dynamics, Huco Dynatork, Warner Linear, Bauer Gear Motor, and PowerFlex.

2. Basis of Presentation

The Company was formed on November 30, 2004 following acquisitions of The Kilian Company (“Kilian”) and certain subsidiaries of Colfax Corporation (“Colfax”). During 2006, the Company acquired Hay Hall Holdings Limited (“Hay Hall”) and Bear Linear. On April 5, 2007, the Company acquired TB Wood’s Corporation (“TB Wood’s”), and on October 5, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of All Power Transmission Manufacturing, Inc. On May 29, 2011, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Danfoss Bauer GmbH relating to its gear motor business (“Bauer”). On July 11, 2012, the Company acquired 85% of privately held Lamiflex do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais Ltda. (“Lamiflex”).

Non-controlling Interest—The Company recorded the redeemable non-controlling interest from its acquisition of an 85% ownership interest of Lamiflex at fair value at the date of acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into put and call option agreements with the minority shareholders for the potential purchase of the non-controlling interest at a future date at a value based on a contractually determined formula. As a result of the option agreements, the non-controlling interest is considered redeemable and is classified as temporary equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The non-controlling interest is reviewed at each subsequent reporting period and adjusted, as needed, to reflect its then redemption value.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and results of operations and cash flows for the quarters ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

The Company follows a four, four, five week calendar per quarter with all quarters consisting of thirteen weeks of operations with the fiscal year end always on December 31.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, and debt under the Company’s Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions including an initial term loan facility of $100,000,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and an initial revolving credit facility of $200,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) approximate their fair values due to their variable rate nature at current market rates.

 

7


Table of Contents

The carrying amount of the 2.75% Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) was $85.0 million at each of March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012. The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $101.6 million and $94.3 million, respectively, based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the Convertible Notes (level 2).

Included in cash and cash equivalents as of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are money market fund investments of $14.8 million and $30.3 million, respectively, which are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices for such investments (level 1).

4. Net Income per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, and diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents are included in the per share calculations when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of basic to diluted net income per share:

 

     Quarter Ended  
     March 30,
2013
     March 31,
2012
 

Net income attributable to Altra Holdings, Inc

   $ 11,880       $ 10,516   

Shares used in net income per common share - basic

     26,733         26,606   

Incremental shares of unvested restricted common stock

     34         54   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Shares used in net income per common share - diluted

     26,767         26,660   

Earnings per share:

     

Basic net income attributable to Altra Holdings, Inc.

   $ 0.44       $ 0.40   

Diluted net income attributable to Altra Holdings, Inc.

   $ 0.44       $ 0.39   

The Company excluded 3,104,379 shares related to the Convertible Notes (see Note 11) from the above earnings per share calculation as these shares were anti-dilutive.

5. Acquisitions

In July 2012, the Company consummated an agreement to acquire 85% of privately held Lamiflex do Brasil Equipamentos Industrias Ltda. now known as Lamiflex Do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais S.A. This transaction is known as the Lamiflex Acquisition. The Company acquired 85% of the stock of Lamiflex for 17.4 million Reais ($8.6 million), which was subject to a reduction of 2.1 million Reais ($1.1 million) for estimated net debt at closing. The net debt assumed at closing is subject to a final net debt calculation adjustment.

The closing date of the Lamiflex Acquisition was July 11, 2012, and as a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect Lamiflex’s results of operations from the beginning of business on July 11, 2012 forward.

The Company is in the process of completing its final purchase price allocation. The Company has completed the valuation of customer relationships, trademarks, deferred tax assets and liabilities and fixed assets.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company expects to develop synergies, such as the ability to cross-sell product and to penetrate into certain geographic areas, as a result of the acquisition of Lamiflex.

The Company recorded a redeemable non-controlling interest from its acquisition of an 85% ownership interest of Lamiflex at fair value at the date of acquisition. In connection with the Lamiflex Acquisition, the Company entered into put and call option agreements with the minority shareholders for the potential purchase of the non-controlling interest at a future date at a value based on a contractually determined formula. As a result of the option agreements, the non-controlling interest is considered redeemable and is classified as temporary equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The estimated amounts recorded as intangible assets consist of the following:

 

Customer relationships, subject to amortization

   $ 4,552   

Trade names and trademarks, not subject to amortization

     360   
  

 

 

 

Total intangible assets

   $ 4,912   
  

 

 

 

Customer relationships are subject to amortization which will be straight-lined over their estimated useful lives of 13 years, which represents the anticipated period over which the Company estimates it will benefit from the acquired assets.

The estimated effective income tax rates recorded for the quarters ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, were based upon management’s best estimate of the effective tax rate for the entire year.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States as well as consolidated and separate income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in all of these jurisdictions. With the exception of certain foreign jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the tax years prior to 2008.

Additionally, the Company has indemnification agreements with the sellers of the Colfax, Kilian, Bauer, Lamiflex and Hay Hall entities that provide for reimbursement to the Company for payments made in satisfaction of tax liabilities relating to pre-acquisition periods.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. At each of December 31, 2012 and March 30, 2013, the Company had $0.4 million of accrued interest and penalties.

Credit Agreement

In November 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions (collectively, the “Lenders”), to be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders made available to the Company an initial term loan facility of $100,000,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and an initial revolving credit facility of $200,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

Interest on the amounts outstanding under the credit facilities is calculated using either an ABR Rate or Eurodollar rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurodollar Loans are between 1.375% to 1.875%, and for ABR Loans are between 0.375% and 0.875%. The Credit Agreement provides for a possible expansion of the facilities by an aggregate additional $150,000,000, which can be allocated as additional term loans and/or additional revolving credit loans. The amounts available under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility are to be available for general corporate purposes and to repay existing indebtedness. The stated maturity of both of these credit facilities is November 20, 2017, and there are scheduled quarterly principal payments due on the outstanding amount of the Term Loan Facility. A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies.

The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility and a portion of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility, along with cash on hand, were used by the Company to contribute all funds necessary to redeem all of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes in December 2012 (the “Redemption”). As of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $60.0 and $79.3 million outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. As of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $6.6 and $7.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We had $133.4 million and $113.1 million and available under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Company and certain Subsidiaries to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, limit maximum annual capital expenditures, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

Pledge and Security Agreement; Trademark Security Agreement; Patent Security Agreement.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, on November 20, 2012, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which each Loan Party pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property, whether now owned by or owing to, or after acquired by or arising in favor of such Loan Party (including under any trade name or derivations), and whether owned or consigned by or to, or leased from or to, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, except for specific excluded personal property identified in the Pledge and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include, among other items, more than 65% of the capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The Pledge and Security Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The Credit Agreement provides that the obligation to grant the security interest can cease upon the obtaining of certain corporate family ratings for the Company, but the obligation to grant a security interest is subject to subsequent reinstatement if the ratings are not maintained as provided in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Pledge and Security Agreement, certain of the Loan Parties delivered a Patent Security Agreement and a Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each of the Loan Parties signatory thereto pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all registered patents, patent applications, registered trademarks and trademark applications owned by such Loan Parties.

Convertible Senior Notes

On March 7, 2011, the Company issued $85.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) due on March 1, 2031. The Convertible Notes will mature on March 31, 2031, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased by the Company or converted, and are convertible into cash or shares, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semiannually in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, and commenced on September 1, 2011 at an annual rate of 2.75%.

The Company separately accounted for the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes to reflect the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate, which interest costs are to be recognized in subsequent periods. The note payable principal balance at the date of issuance of $85.0 million was bifurcated into a debt component of $60.5 million and an equity component of $24.5 million. The difference between the note payable principal balance and the value of the debt component is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the notes. The debt component was recognized at the present value of associated cash flows discounted using a 8.25% discount rate, the borrowing rate at the date of issuance for a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature. The Company paid approximately $3.7 million of issuance costs associated with the Convertible Notes. The Company recorded $1.0 million of debt issuance costs as an offset to additional paid-in capital. The balance of $2.7 million of debt issuance costs is classified as other non-current assets and will be amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

The carrying amount of the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount, and the net carrying amount are as follows as of March 30, 2013:

Senior Secured Notes

In November 2009, the Company issued 8 1/8% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) with a face value of $210 million. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes was payable semi-annually in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2010 at an annual rate of 8 1/8%. The effective interest rate of the Senior Secured Notes was approximately 8.75% after consideration of the $6.7 million of deferred financing costs (included in other non-current assets which are being amortized over the term using the effective interest method). The principal balance of the Senior Secured Notes was scheduled to mature on December 1, 2016.

The Senior Secured Notes were guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries and were secured by a second priority lien, subject to first priority liens securing the Old Revolving Credit Agreement, on substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of its domestic subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contained covenants which restricted the Company and its subsidiaries. These restrictions limited or prohibited, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturities; pay cash dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies; sell stock in our subsidiaries; and create liens on their assets. There are no financial covenants associated with the Senior Secured Notes.

During 2012, Altra Industrial retired the remaining principal balance of the 8 1/8% Senior Secured Notes, of $198.0 million.

Old Revolving Credit Agreement

Prior to entering into the current Credit Agreement, Altra Industrial had previously entered into a senior secured credit facility, (the “Old Revolving Credit Agreement”), that provided for borrowing capacity in an initial amount of up to $65.0 million (subject to adjustment pursuant to a borrowing base and subject to increase from time to time in accordance with the terms of the credit facility).

The Old Revolving Credit Agreement was replaced with the new Revolving Credit Facility in November 2012.

Equipment Loan

The Company has a 24.6 million RMB ($3.9 Million) Equipment Loan with a Chinese bank to equip its new facility in Changzhou, China. The loan had a remaining principal of 14.4 million RMB ($2.3 million) and 12.4 million RMB ($1.1 million) at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Interest is payable monthly at 6.4%. The principal amount of the Equipment Loan note is due in August 2013, when the note expires.

Mortgage

The Company has a mortgage with a bank on its facility in Heidelberg, Germany with an interest rate of 2.9% and is payable in monthly installments over the next three years. As of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the mortgage had a remaining principal of €0.6 million or $0.8 million and €0.7 million or $1.0 million, respectively.

Capital Leases

The Company leases certain equipment under capital lease arrangements, whose obligations are included in both short-term and long-term debt. Capital lease obligations amounted to approximately $0.1 million at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Assets subject to capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment with the related amortization recorded as depreciation expense.

Overdraft Agreements

Certain of our foreign subsidiaries maintain overdraft agreements with financial institutions. There were no borrowings as of March 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012 under any of the overdraft agreements.

12. Stockholders’ Equity

On February 12, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share for the quarter ended March 30, 2013. The dividend of $2.2 million was paid on April 3, 2013 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 18, 2013 and was accrued for in the balance sheet at March 30, 2013.

Future declarations of quarterly cash dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors and to the Board’s continuing determination that the declaration of dividends are in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders and are in compliance with all laws and agreements of the Company applicable to the declaration and payment of cash dividends.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s Board of Directors established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”) that provides for various forms of stock-based compensation to independent directors, officers and senior-level employees of the Company. The restricted shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Plan generally vest ratably over a period ranging from immediately to 5 years, provided that the vesting of the restricted shares may accelerate upon the occurrence of certain liquidity events, if approved by the Board of Directors in connection with the transactions. Common stock awarded under the Plan is generally subject to restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, and other limitations and rights as set forth in the applicable award agreements. The shares are valued based on the share price on the date of grant.

The Plan permits the Company to grant restricted stock, among other things, to key employees and other persons who make significant contributions to the success of the Company. The restrictions and vesting schedule for restricted stock granted under the Plan are determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Plan also permits the Company to grant performance share awards, among other things, to the Company’s executives and certain other officers and employees based on pre-established annual performance objectives and goals. The company issued performance share unit awards during February 2013 and has accrued compensation expense based on the probable outcome of these annual objectives and goals.

Compensation expense recorded during the quarters ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, was $0.8 million in each quarter. Stock-based compensation has been recorded as an adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight line basis for the shares vesting ratably under the plan and uses the graded-vesting method of recognizing stock based compensation expense for the performance share awards based on the probability of the specific performance metrics being achieved over the requisite service period.

Restricted shares granted are valued based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

13. Concentrations of Credit, Segment Data and Workforce

Financial instruments, which are potentially subject to counter party performance and concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company manages these risks by conducting credit evaluations of customers prior to delivery or commencement of services. When the Company enters into a sales contract, collateral is normally not required from the customer. Payments are typically due within thirty days of billing. An allowance for potential credit losses is maintained, and losses have historically been within management’s expectations. No customer represented greater than 10% of total sales for each of the quarters ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

The Company is also subject to counter party performance risk of loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, such as cash and investments. Cash and investments are held by well established financial institutions and invested in AAA rated mutual funds or United States Government Securities.

The Company has three operating segments that are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker. Each of these operating segments represents a unit that produces mechanical power transmission products. The Company aggregates all of the operating segments into one reportable segment. The three operating segments are expected to have similar long-term average gross profit margins. All of our products are sold by one global sales force and we have one global marketing function with the exception of the Bauer gear motor business for which the Company is in the process of integrating sales and marketing activities. Strategic markets and industries are determined for the entire company and then targeted by the brands. All of our operating segments have common manufacturing and production processes. Each operating segment includes a machine shop which uses similar equipment and manufacturing techniques. Each of our operating segments uses common raw materials, such as aluminum, steel and copper. The materials are purchased and procurement contracts are negotiated by one global purchasing function.

The Company serves the general industrial market by selling to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and distributors. Our OEM and distributor customers serve the general industrial market. Resource allocation decisions such as capital expenditure requirements and headcount requirements are made at a consolidated level and allocated to the individual operating segments.

Discrete financial information is not available by product line at the level necessary for management to assess performance or make resource allocation decisions.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company adopted a restructuring plan (“2012 Altra Plan”) as a result of continued sluggish demand in Europe and general global economic conditions. The actions included in the 2012 Altra Plan include reducing headcount and limiting discretionary spending to improve profitability in Europe. The Company recorded $0.3 million in restructuring charges associated with the 2012 Altra Plan in the quarter ended March 30, 2013. The costs were primarily severance charges due in connection with the reduction of the workforce at our European locations.

The Company’s total restructuring expense, by major component for the quarter ended March 30, 2013 was as follows:

The total restructuring reserve as of March 30, 2013 relates to severance costs to be paid to employees and is recorded in accruals and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects to incur approximately $0.4 to $0.7 million in restructuring expenses during the remainder of 2013 under the 2012 Altra Plan.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

General Litigation

The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. These proceedings primarily involve commercial claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims, and workers’ compensation claims. None of these legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. With respect to these proceedings, management believes that the Company will prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. There were no material amounts accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for potential litigation as of March 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. For matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The Company also risks exposure to product liability claims in connection with products it has sold and those sold by businesses that the Company acquired. Although in some cases third parties have retained responsibility for product liability claims relating to products manufactured or sold prior to the acquisition of the relevant business and in other cases the persons from whom the Company has acquired a business may be required to indemnify the Company for certain product liability claims subject to certain caps or limitations on indemnification, the Company cannot assure that those third parties will in fact satisfy their obligations with respect to liabilities retained by them or their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to or otherwise do not comply with their respective obligations including indemnity obligations, or if certain product liability claims for which the Company is obligated were not retained by third parties or are not subject to these indemnities, the Company could become subject to significant liabilities or other adverse consequences. Moreover, even in cases where third parties retain responsibility for product liability claims or are required to indemnify the Company, significant claims arising from products that have been acquired could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to realize the benefits from an acquisition, could result in the reduction of the value of goodwill that the Company recorded in connection with an acquisition, or could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operations.

16. Subsequent Events

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure.

The Company has declared a dividend of $0.10 per share for the quarter ended June 29, 2013, payable on July 2, 2013 to shareholders of record as of June 18, 2013.

On April 15, 2013 the Company entered an interest rate swap agreement designed to fix the ABR Rate rate payable on a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at 0.626% exclusive of the credit spread under the Credit Agreement.

General

Altra Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Altra Industrial Motion, Inc., or Altra Industrial, and owns 100% of Altra Industrial’s outstanding capital stock. Altra Industrial, directly or indirectly, owns 100% of the capital stock of 55 of its subsidiaries and 85% of the capital stock of one of its subsidiaries located in Brazil. The following chart illustrates a summary of our corporate structure:

 

LOGO

Although we were incorporated in Delaware in 2004, much of our current business has its roots with the prior acquisition by Colfax Corporation, or Colfax, of a series of power transmission businesses. In December 1996, Colfax acquired the electro-mechanical power transmission group of Zurn Technologies, Inc. Colfax subsequently acquired Industrial Clutch Corp. in May 1997, Nuttall Gear Corp. in July 1997 and the Boston Gear and Delroyd Worm Gear brands in August 1997 as part of Colfax’s acquisition of Imo Industries, Inc. In February 2000, Colfax acquired Warner Electric, Inc., which sold products under the Warner Electric, Formsprag Clutch, Stieber, and Wichita Clutch brands. Colfax formed Power Transmission Holding LLC, or “PTH”, in June 2004 to serve as a holding company for all of these power transmission businesses. Boston Gear was established in 1877, Warner Electric, Inc. in 1927, and Wichita Clutch in 1949.

On November 30, 2004, we acquired our original core business through the acquisition of PTH from Colfax. We refer to this transaction as the PTH Acquisition.

On October 22, 2004, The Kilian Company, or Kilian, a company formed at the direction of Genstar Capital, then the largest stockholder of Altra Holdings, acquired Kilian Manufacturing Corporation from Timken U.S. Corporation. At the completion of the PTH Acquisition, (i) all of the outstanding shares of Kilian capital stock were exchanged for shares of our capital stock and (ii) Kilian and its subsidiaries were transferred to Altra Industrial.

On February 10, 2006, we purchased all of the outstanding share capital of Hay Hall Holdings Limited, or Hay Hall. Hay Hall was a UK-based holding company established in 1996 that was focused primarily on the manufacture of couplings and clutch brakes.

On May 18, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Bear Linear Inc., or Warner Linear. Warner Linear manufactures high value-added linear actuators which are electromechanical power transmission devices designed to move and position loads linearly for mobile off-highway and industrial applications.

On April 5, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of TB Wood’s Corporation, or TB Wood’s. TB Wood’s is an established designer, manufacturer and marketer of mechanical and electronic industrial power transmission products with a history dating back to 1857.

Table of Contents

On October 5, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets of All Power Transmission Manufacturing, Inc., a manufacturer of universal joints.

On December 31, 2007, we sold the TB Wood’s adjustable speed drives business, or Electronics Division. We sold the Electronics Division in order to continue our strategic focus on our core electro-mechanical power transmission business.

On May 29, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Danfoss Bauer GmbH relating to its gearmotor business (“Bauer”). Bauer is a European manufacturer of high-quality gearmotors, offering engineered solutions to a variety of industries, including material handling, metals, food processing and energy. We refer to this transaction as the Bauer Acquisition.

On July 11, 2012, we acquired 85% of privately held Lamiflex do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais Ltda., now known as Lamiflex Do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais S.A. (“Lamiflex”). Lamiflex is one of the premier Brazilian manufacturer of high-speed disc couplings, providing engineered solutions to a variety of industries, including oil and gas, power generation, metals and mining.

We are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of electro-mechanical power transmission and motion control products with a presence in over 70 countries. Our global sales and marketing network includes over 1,000 direct OEM customers and over 3,000 distributor outlets. Our product portfolio includes industrial clutches and brakes, enclosed gear drives, open gearing, couplings, engineered bearing assemblies, linear components, gearmotors, and other related products. Our products serve a wide variety of end markets including energy, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation and turf and garden. We primarily sell our products to a wide range of OEMs and through long-standing relationships with industrial distributors such as Motion Industries, Applied Industrial Technologies, Kaman Industrial Technologies and W.W. Grainger.

While the power transmission industry has undergone some consolidation, we estimate that in 2012 the top five broad-based electro-mechanical power transmission companies represented approximately 20% of the U.S. power transmission market. The remainder of the power transmission industry remains fragmented with many small and family-owned companies that cater to a specific market niche often due to their narrow product offerings. We believe that consolidation in our industry will continue because of the increasing demand for global distribution channels, broader product mixes and better brand recognition to compete in this industry.

Our products, principal brands and markets and sample applications are set forth below:

We are not including the information contained on or available through our website as a part of, or incorporating such information by reference into, this Form 10-Q.

Business Outlook

Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S., European and global economies in general. In the remainder of 2013, we expect to continue to focus on the execution of our long-term growth strategy, and will also continue to focus on maintaining a reduced cost base. Among other items, we expect our strategic initiatives during the remainder of 2013 will continue to include investing in organic growth, seeking strategic acquisitions, targeting key underpenetrated geographic regions, entering new high-growth markets, enhancing our efficiency and productivity through the Altra Business System and focusing on the development of our people and processes.

We expect continued stagnant demand across our end markets. We expect to offset this through our continued profit improvement initiatives and lower borrowing costs due to our recent refinancing and expect improved profitability when compared to the prior year.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experiences and other assumptions we believe to be appropriate, and we evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. See the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

   $ 185,150       $ 192,385       $ (7,235     -3.8

The decrease in sales during the quarter ended March 30, 2013 was due to the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes of $1.7 million primarily related to the Euro and British Pound Sterling rates compared to 2012 combined with lower sales levels across all operating segments due to weak demand in all geographies. This was partially offset by the inclusion of Lamiflex in the quarter ended March 30, 2013. We expect to see flat to moderate softening in our order rates in the remainder of 2013, particularly in Europe.

The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, was lower than that of the quarter ended March 30, 2012 primarily due to the recognition of a $0.4 million benefit during the quarter ended March 30, 2013 related to the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. R&D credit for qualifying amounts incurred in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, pension plan funding, and to pay dividends to our stockholders. In the event additional funds are needed, we could borrow additional funds available under our existing Revolving Credit Facility, request an expansion by $150,000,000 of the amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement, attempt to secure new debt, attempt to refinance our loans under the Credit Agreement, or attempt to raise capital in the equity markets. Presently, we have the ability under our Revolving Credit Facility to borrow an additional $133.4 million, based on current availability calculations. There can be no assurance however that additional debt financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Similarly, there can be no assurance that equity financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.

Credit Agreement

In November 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions (collectively, the “Lenders”), to be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders made available to the Company an initial term loan facility of $100,000,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and an initial revolving credit facility of $200,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

Interest on the amounts outstanding under the credit facilities is calculated using either an ABR Rate or Eurodollar rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurodollar Loans are between 1.375% to 1.875%, and for ABR Loans are between 0.375% and 0.875%. The Credit Agreement provides for a possible expansion of the facilities by an aggregate additional $150,000,000, which can be allocated as additional term loans and/or additional revolving credit loans. The amounts available under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility are to be available for general corporate purposes and to repay existing indebtedness. The stated maturity of both of these credit facilities is November 20, 2017, and there are scheduled quarterly principal payments due on the outstanding amount of the Term Loan Facility. A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies.

The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility and a portion of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility, along with cash on hand, were used by the Company to contribute all funds necessary to redeem all of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes in December 2012 (the “Redemption”). As of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $60.0 and $79.3 million outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. As of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $6.6 and $7.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We had $133.4 million and $113.1 million and available under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Company and certain Subsidiaries to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, limit maximum annual capital expenditures, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

Pledge and Security Agreement; Trademark Security Agreement; Patent Security Agreement.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, on November 20, 2012, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which each Loan Party pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property, whether now owned by or owing to, or after acquired by or arising in favor of such Loan Party (including under any trade name or derivations), and whether owned or consigned by or to, or leased from or to, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, except for specific excluded personal property identified in the Pledge and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include, among other items, more than 65% of the capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The Pledge and Security Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The Credit Agreement provides that the obligation to grant the security interest can cease upon the obtaining of certain corporate family ratings for the Company, but the obligation to grant a security interest is subject to subsequent reinstatement if the ratings are not maintained as provided in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Pledge and Security Agreement, certain of the Loan Parties delivered a Patent Security Agreement and a Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each of the Loan Parties signatory thereto pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all registered patents, patent applications, registered trademarks and trademark applications owned by such Loan Parties.

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2011, the Company issued Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) due March 1, 2031. The Convertible Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2011 at an annual rate of 2.75%. Proceeds from the offering were $81.3 million, net of fees and expenses that were capitalized. The proceeds from the offering were used to fund the Bauer Acquisition, as well as bolster the Company’s cash position.

Cash Flows for 2013

The primary sources of funds provided from operating activities of approximately $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2013 resulted from cash provided from net income of $11.9 million. The net impact of the add-back of certain items including non-cash depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, accretion of debt discount, deferred financing costs, and non-cash loss on foreign currency was approximately $8.7 million. This amount was offset by a net increase in current assets and liabilities of approximately $11.3 million.

The change in cash flows from operating activities in 2013 as compared to 2012 related to a federal tax refund of $4.8 million being received in the quarter ended March 30, 2013. Additionally, receivables have decreased by an additional $6.8 million when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 due to lower sales volumes. While a variety of factors can influence our ability to project future cash flow, we expect to see positive cash flows from operating activities during the remainder of fiscal 2013 due to income from operations, lower interest expense than in prior years and a decrease in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased from 2012 primarily due to lower capital expenditures being required during the quarter ended March 30, 2013. Expenditures decreased during the quarter ended March 30, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as there were greater capital expenditures for new equipment during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that was not repeated during the quarter ended March 30, 2013.

The change in net cash from financing activities was primarily due to the repayment of approximately $21.2 million towards the company’s term loan and revolving credit facility. This was partially offset by the $3.0 million redemption of the variable demand rate revenue bonds during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

We intend to use our remaining existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to provide for our working capital needs, to fund potential future acquisitions, debt service, including principal payments, and capital expenditures, for pension funding, and to pay dividends to our stockholders. We have approximately $50.0 million of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries that are generally subject to U.S. income taxation on repatriation to the U.S. We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating and investing cash needs. Furthermore, the existing cash balances and the availability of additional borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility provide additional potential sources of liquidity should they be required.

As a result of continued sluggish demand in Europe and general global economic conditions, we adopted a restructuring plan (the “2012 Altra Plan”) in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 to improve profitability in Europe. The actions included in the 2012 Altra Plan include reducing headcount and limiting discretionary spending. We expect to experience improved liquidity as a result of these measures in 2013.

Contractual Obligations

There were no significant changes in our contractual obligations subsequent to December 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risk factors such as fluctuating interest rates, changes in foreign currency rates, and changes in commodity prices. At present, we do not utilize derivative instruments to manage these risks. During the reporting period, there have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding our market risk set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 30, 2013, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of March 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
