(Unaudited)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
as of July 1, 2017
, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2017 and June 25, 2016
, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Shareholders' Equity for the
twenty-six week
periods then ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the financial statements as of
July 1, 2017
and for all periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These Condensed Consolidated Financial 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 fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016
. The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in these interim financial statements are the same as those followed in the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2016
. The results of operations for the period ended
July 1, 2017
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Inventories
Approximately
35%
and
38%
of inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market as of
July 1, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
. All other inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or market. Finished goods and manufactured goods inventories include the costs of acquired raw materials and related factory labor and overhead charges required to convert raw materials to manufactured and finished goods. The excess of replacement cost of inventories over the LIFO value is approximately
$39,260
and
$38,047
at
July 1, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, respectively.

Pension Benefits
The Company incurs expenses in connection with the Delta Pension Plan ("DPP"). The DPP was acquired as part of the Delta plc acquisition in fiscal 2010 and has no members that are active employees. In order to measure expense and the related benefit obligation, various assumptions are made including discount rates used to value the obligation, expected return on plan assets used to fund these expenses and estimated future inflation rates. These assumptions are based on historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances. An actuarial analysis is used to measure the expense and liability associated with pension benefits.
The components of the net periodic pension (benefit) expense for the
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2017 and June 25, 2016
were as follows:

Fair Value
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 820,
Fair Value Measurements
(“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 establishes a three‑level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Trading Securities: The assets and liabilities recorded for the investments held in the Valmont Deferred Compensation Plan of
$38,732
(
$35,784
at December 31, 2016) represent mutual funds, invested in debt and equity securities, classified as trading securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 320,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
, considering the employee's ability to change investment allocation of their deferred compensation at any time.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company's ownership of shares in Delta EMD Pty. Ltd. (JSE:DTA) is also classified as trading securities. The shares are valued at
$1,931
and
$2,016
as of
July 1, 2017

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net earnings, currency translation adjustments, certain derivative-related activity and changes in net actuarial gains/losses from a pension plan. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet dates. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of the following at
July 1, 2017

Net Investment Hedge
In the second quarter of 2016, the Company entered into a one-year foreign currency forward contract which qualified as a net investment hedge, in order to mitigate foreign currency risk on a portion of our investments denominated in British pounds. The forward contract had a notional amount to sell British pounds and receive
$44,000
, and matured in May 2017. The realized gain of
$5,123
(
$3,150
after tax)
has been deferred in other comprehensive income where it will remain until the Company's net investments in its British subsidiaries are divested. No ineffectiveness resulted from the hedge prior to its maturity.
VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-9,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605,
Revenue Recognition
.
The new revenue recognition standard
requires entities to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial position. One area under assessment is the timing of revenue recognition for the Company’s product lines that are custom engineered to a single customer’s specifications resulting in limited ability that the asset can be used for another customer. These product lines reside in the Utility and Engineered Support Structures segments. When the terms and conditions allow the Company to bill a customer for full compensation on a canceled order for the performance completed to date, revenue will be recognized over the production period and not the current practice which is upon shipment or time of delivery to the customer. The Company is also evaluating the necessary changes to its internal control processes to recognize revenue over time using an inputs based model after adoption. Based on the current status of the evaluation, the adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material effect on the amounts or timing of revenue recognition for the Company’s other segments. The Company expects to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases
, which provides revised guidance on leases requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is to be applied on a modified retrospective transition.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance but expects the adoption will result in a significant increase in total assets and liabilities.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments in the Statement of Cash Flows
, which provides more specific guidance on cash flow presentation for certain transactions. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the provisions of this new standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and plan to adopt it in the first quarter of 2018.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,
which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will consider early adopting this standard prior to the annual goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2017.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07,
Presentation of Net Periodic Benefit Cost Related to Defined Benefit Plans,
which amends the income statement presentation requirements for the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity's defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans. ASU 2017-07 is effective for periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any annual period for which an entity's financial statements have not been issued. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2018.

(2) ACQUISITIONS
Acquisitions of Noncontrolling Interests
In April 2016, the Company acquired the remaining
30%
of IGC Galvanizing Industries (M) Sdn Bhd that it did not own for
$5,841
. In June 2016, the Company acquired
5.2%
of the remaining
10%
of Valmont SM that it did not own for
$5,168
. As these transactions were for acquisitions of part or all of the remaining shares of consolidated subsidiaries with no change in control, they were recorded within shareholders' equity and as a financing cash flow in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
3) RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
In April 2015, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a broad restructuring plan (the "2015 Plan") to respond to the market environment in certain businesses. During fiscal 2016, the Company incurred pre-tax restructuring charges of
$4,581
as it completed the 2015 Plan.
In 2016, the Company identified and executed further region specific restructuring activities (the "2016 Plan") and incurred
$5,045
of pre-tax restructuring expenses in cost of sales and
$2,780
of pre-tax restructuring expense in SG&A in 2016. Within the total
$7,825
, were pre-tax asset impairments of
$1,099
. The 2016 Plan was primarily completed by year-end 2016. A significant change in market conditions in any of the Company's segments may affect of the Company's assessment of necessity for further restructuring activities.
Liabilities recorded for the restructuring plans and changes therein for the first half of fiscal 2017 were as follows:

In its determination of these intangible assets as indefinite‑lived, the Company considered such factors as its expected future use of the intangible asset, legal, regulatory, technological and competitive factors that may impact the useful life or value of the intangible asset and the expected costs to maintain the value of the intangible asset. The Company expects that these intangible assets will maintain their value indefinitely. Accordingly, these assets are not amortized.
The Company’s trade names were tested for impairment in the third quarter of 2016. The values of each trade name was determined using the relief-from-royalty method. Based on this evaluation, no trade names were determined to be impaired as of the third quarter of 2016.

The Company’s annual impairment test of goodwill was performed during the third quarter of 2016, using the discounted cash flow method. As a result of that testing, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired, as the valuation of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. The Company's offshore and other complex steel structures reporting unit with
$14,179
of goodwill, is the reporting unit with the least amount of cushion between its estimated fair value and its carrying value. In the impairment model, the Company is forecasting steady growth in sales between 2018 to 2020 of the other complex steel structures to offset the significant decline in sales from offshore oil and gas structures realized in fiscal 2016. Sales and profitability amounts for the first half of 2017 approximated the amounts in the 2016 annual impairment model. The Company continues to monitor the sales backlog of this reporting unit and changes in the global economy that could impact future operating results of any of its reporting units.

(7) BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The accounting principles used in the preparation of the segment information are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 1, except that the segment assets and income reflect the FIFO basis of accounting for inventory. Certain inventories are accounted for using the LIFO basis in the consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company changed its reportable segment operating income to separate out the LIFO expense (benefit). Prior year financial information has been updated to reflect this change.
Reportable segments are as follows:
ENGINEERED SUPPORT STRUCTURES:
This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered metal
structures and components for the global lighting and traffic, wireless communication, and roadway safety
industries;
ENERGY AND MINING:
This segment, all outside of the United States, consists of the manufacture of
access systems applications, forged steel grinding media, on and offshore oil, gas, and wind energy structures;
UTILITY SUPPORT STRUCTURES:
This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered steel and
concrete structures for the global utility industry;
COATINGS:
This segment consists of galvanizing, anodizing and powder coating services on a global
basis; and
IRRIGATION:
This segment consists of the manufacture of agricultural irrigation equipment and related
parts and services for the global agricultural industry and tubular products for industrial customers.
The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based upon operating income and invested capital. The Company does not allocate LIFO expense, interest expense, non-operating income and deductions, or income taxes to its business segments.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s discussion and analysis contains forward‑looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward‑looking statements are based on assumptions that management has made in light of experience in the industries in which the Company operates, as well as management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions. Management believes that these forward‑looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions. Many factors could affect the Company’s actual financial results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward‑looking statements. These factors include, among other things, risk factors described from time to time in the Company’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as future economic and market circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results, operating efficiencies, availability and price of raw materials, availability and market acceptance of new products, product pricing, domestic and international competitive environments, and actions and policy changes of domestic and foreign governments.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, and the management's discussion and analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016
. Segment sales in the table below are presented net of intersegment sales.

Overview
On a consolidated basis, the increase in net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, as compared with 2016, reflected higher sales in all reportable segments except for the Energy & Mining segment. On a year-to-date basis, consolidated sales were higher in 2017, as compared to 2016, due to higher sales in all reporting segments except for the ESS segment. The changes in net sales in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017, as compared with fiscal 2016, were as follows:

Volume effects are estimated based on a physical production or sales measure. Since products we sell are not uniform in nature, pricing and mix relate to a combination of changes in sales prices and the attributes of the product sold. Accordingly, pricing and mix changes do not necessarily directly result in operating income changes.
Average steel index prices for both hot rolled coil and plate were higher in North America and China in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, resulting in higher average cost of material. Increases in average sales pricing and volumes offset the decrease in gross profit realized from the higher cost of steel for the Company.
Currency Translation
In the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017, we realized an increase in operating profit, as compared with fiscal 2016, due to currency translation effects. The U.S. dollar primarily weakened against the Brazilian real and South African rand, resulting in more operating profit in U.S. dollar terms. The breakdown of this effect by segment was as

Gross Profit, SG&A, and Operating Income
At a consolidated level, the reduction in gross margin (gross profit as a percent of sales) in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016, was primarily due to higher raw material prices across most of our businesses. Gross profit increased in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to 2016, due to the increase in sales volume. All operating segments realized increases in the second quarter and first half of 2017 except for ESS and Coatings which realized a decrease in gross profit primarily due to sales pricing that did not fully recover higher raw material costs and higher intersegment sales. There was a sharp rise in the cost of steel during the second quarter of 2016 versus a modest increase in 2017, and as a result, the Company experienced lower LIFO expense for the second quarter of 2017.
The Company saw an increase in SG&A in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due primarily to a $0.9 million reduction of a contingent consideration liability to the former owners of Pure Metal Galvanizing (PMG) recorded in the second quarter of 2016 due to changes in the expected earnings over the earn out period. In addition, the Company incurred higher deferred compensation expenses in the second quarter and first half of 2017 of $0.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, which was offset by the same amount of other income.
In the second quarter and first half of 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, operating income for all operating segments were higher except for the Coatings and ESS segments. The increase in operating income in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, is primarily attributable to increased sales volumes in the Utility and Irrigation segments.
Net Interest Expense and Debt
Net interest expense in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016, was consistent due to minimal changes in short and long-term borrowings.
Other Income/Expense
The improvement in other income/expense in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016, was primarily due to a change in valuation of deferred compensation assets which resulted in higher other income of $0.3 million and $2.1 million. This amount is offset by an increase of the same amount in SG&A expense. The change in the market value of the Company's shares held of Delta EMD was a $0.9 million smaller loss on a year-to-date basis when comparing 2017 to 2016. The remaining change was due to foreign currency transaction gains or losses.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rate in the second quarter and first half of 2017 was 30.8% and 29.5%, respectively, compared to 30.6% and 31.3% in the second quarter and first half of 2016, respectively. A net non-recurring benefit of $2.0 million contributed to the lower tax rate in the first first half of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 attributable to a favorable resolution of a tax matter involving our U.K. subsidiaries.
Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests was consistent in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016.
Cash Flows from Operations
Our cash flows provided by operations was
$68.3 million
in the first half of fiscal 2017, as compared with $79.9 million provided by operations in the first half of 2016. The decrease in operating cash flow in the first half of fiscal 2017, as compared with 2016, was primarily the result of higher net working capital tied to increased sales volumes partially offset by improved net earnings.
Engineered Support Structures (ESS) segment
The increase in sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, as compared with the same periods of 2016, was due to higher intercompany sales volumes to the North America Utility business, improved communication product line sales
volumes, and roadway product sales volumes. The increase was partially offset by lower sales volumes for our EMEA structures businesses and unfavorable currency translation effects.
Global lighting and traffic, and roadway product sales in the second quarter of 2017 were higher compared to the same periods in fiscal 2016, primarily due to the Asia-Pacific businesses. In the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to 2016, sales volumes in the U.S. were lower across commercial and transportation markets. The 2015 long-term U.S. highway bill has not yet provided a meaningful uplift for our North America structures business. Sales in Europe were lower in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2016, due to lower volumes and unfavorable currency translation effects. The domestic markets in general remain subdued in Europe. In the Asia-Pacific region, sales were higher in second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017, as compared to 2016, due primarily to higher intercompany sales. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects. Roadway product sales increased in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due to higher volumes.
Communication product line sales were higher in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 2016. In both North America and Asia-Pacific, communication structure and component sales increased due to higher demand from the continued network expansion by providers.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, and operating income for the segment were lower in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016, due to margin contraction from higher raw material costs that was partially offset by higher sales pricing and higher volumes. SG&A spending in the second quarter and first half of 2017 decreased as compared to the same periods in 2016 due primarily to lower commissions owed on communication product line sales, reduced incentives due to decreased operating performance, and currency translation effects.
Energy & Mining (E&M) segment
The decrease in net sales in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to 2016, was due primarily to lower sales volumes that were partially offset by higher sales pricing. The increase in net sales in the first half of 2017, as compared to 2016, was due to higher sales volumes and higher sales pricing.
Access systems product line net sales in the second quarter of 2017 were lower than the same period in 2016 due to lower volumes from weaker demand. This decrease was partially offset by improved sales pricing. For the first half of 2017, Access systems product line net sales were comparable to the same period in 2016.
Offshore and other complex structures sales decreased modestly in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, due to slightly lower volumes and unfavorable currency translation effects. Sales increased in the first half of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, due to volume improvements primarily in the wind tower product line that was partially offset by unfavorable currency translation effects.
Grinding media sales were flat in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016. A decrease in sales volumes offset by higher sales pricing and favorable currency translation effects.
Operating income for the segment in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to 2016, was higher due to lower compensation related costs in Access Systems attributable to certain restructuring actions undertaken in 2016. Operating income increased in the first half of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, due to improved sales volumes in the offshore business and benefits realized in Access Systems from the 2016 restructuring activities. SG&A expense decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due to lower compensation costs.
Utility Support Structures (Utility) segment
In the Utility segment, sales increased in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016, due primarily to improved sales demand in North America resulting in increased sales volumes in tons for steel utility structures. Sales volumes in tons for concrete utility structures were lower in the second quarter but higher for the first half of fiscal 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016. Higher costs of steel in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to 2016, also contributed to the increase in reported sales. A number of our sales contracts contain provisions that tie the sales price to published steel index pricing at the time our customer issues their purchase order. International utility structures sales decreased in 2017 due to lower volumes.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to a less advantageous sales mix. SG&A expense was higher in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016, due to higher compensation costs and commission expense
attributed to the increased sales volumes. Operating income increased in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared with 2016, due to the increased sales volumes.
Coatings segment
Coatings segment sales increased in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due primarily to increased sales prices to recover higher zinc costs globally. External sales volumes in North America declined due to lower demand in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, while intercompany volumes increased in 2017. In the Asia-Pacific region, improved demand/volume provided an increase in net sales.
SG&A expense was higher in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase was due to recording a $0.9 million reduction of a contingent consideration liability to the former owners of Pure Metal Galvanizing (PMG) in the second quarter of 2016 due to changes in the expected earnings over the earn out period. Operating income was lower in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared with 2016, due to the change in sales mix in North America and costs incurred to start up our facility in Texas. The increase in sales pricing in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to 2016, was fully offset by the additional cost of zinc.
Irrigation segment
The increase in Irrigation segment net sales in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016, was primarily due to sales volume increases for both North America and international irrigation. In North America, sales volumes increased primarily in markets outside the traditional corn-belt. Higher equipment running times due to weather conditions resulted in higher service parts sales. International sales increased in the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due to volume increases across most regions and favorable foreign currency translation effects for Brazil and South Africa.
SG&A was higher in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016. The increase can be attributed to higher compensation and incentive costs due to improved business results and currency translation effects related to the international irrigation business. Operating income for the segment increased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2017 over the same periods in 2016, primarily due to North America and international irrigation sales volume increases, productivity improvements, and favorable foreign currency translation effects.
Net corporate expense
Corporate SG&A expense was approximately the same in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Net corporate expense slightly increased in the first half of 2017 as compared to 2016, due to $2.1 million of higher deferred compensation expenses that is offset by a reduction of the same amount in other expense. This increase was partially offset by $0.7 million of lower pension expenses for the Delta Pension Plan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Working Capital and Operating Cash Flows
-Net working capital was
$1,002.2 million
at
July 1, 2017
, as compared to
$903.4 million
at
December 31, 2016
. The increase in net working capital in
2017
mainly resulted from increased receivables, cash on hand, and inventory, partially offset by higher accrued expenses and accounts payable. Cash flow provided by operations was
$68.3 million
in the first half of
2017
, as compared with
$79.9 million
in first half of
2016
. The decrease in operating cash flow in the first half of 2017, as compared to 2016, was primarily the result of higher net working capital tied to increased sales volumes partially offset by improved net earnings.
Investing Cash Flows
-Capital spending in the first half of fiscal
2017
was
$26.2 million
, as compared to
$26.0 million
for the same period in
2016
. Capital spending projects in 2017 and 2016 related to investments in machinery and equipment across all businesses. We expect our capital spending for the 2017 fiscal year to be approximately $65 million.
Financing Cash Flows
-Our total interest‑bearing debt decreased slightly to
$755.7 million
at
July 1, 2017
from
$756.4 million
at
December 31, 2016
. Financing cash flows changed from a use of approximately $52.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2016 to a use of $13.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2017. The reduction of financing cash outflows in the
first half of 2017 as compared to 2016 was due to the Company purchasing $28.6 million of treasury shares under our share repurchase program and the purchase of certain noncontrolling interests totaling $11.0 million in the first half of 2016.
Financing and Capital
We have an open $250 million authorized share purchase program without an expiration date. The share purchases will be funded from available working capital and short-term borrowings and will be made subject to market and economic conditions. We are not obligated to make any share repurchases under the share repurchase program and we may discontinue the share repurchase program at any time. No shares were repurchased during first half of 2017. As of
July 1, 2017
, we have approximately $132.2 million open under this authorization to repurchase shares in the future.
Our capital allocation philosophy announcement included our intention to manage our capital structure to maintain our investment grade debt rating. Our most recent rating were Baa3 by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. and BBB+ rating by Standard and Poor's Rating Services. We expect to maintain a leverage ratio which will support our current investment grade debt rating.
Our debt financing at
July 1, 2017
is primarily long-term debt consisting of:
|
|
•
|
$250.2 million face value ($253.3 million carrying value) of senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 6.625% per annum and are due in April 2020.
|
|
|
•
|
$250 million face value ($248.9 million carrying value) of senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 5.00% per annum and are due in October 2044.
|
|
|
•
|
$250 million face value ($246.8 million carrying value) of unsecured notes that bear interest at 5.25% per annum and are due in October 2054.
|
|
|
•
|
We are allowed to repurchase the notes at specified prepayment premiums. All three tranches of these notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries.
|
At
July 1, 2017
and December 31, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains certain financial covenants that may limit our additional borrowing capability under the agreement. At
July 1, 2017
, we had the ability to borrow $585.3 million under this facility, after consideration of standby letters of credit of $14.7 million associated with certain insurance obligations and international sales commitments. We also maintain certain short-term bank lines of credit totaling $112.4 million, $112.0 million of which was unused at
July 1, 2017
.
Our senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreement each contain cross-default provisions which permit the acceleration of our indebtedness to them if we default on other indebtedness that results in, or permits, the acceleration of such other indebtedness.
The debt agreements contain covenants that require us to maintain certain coverage ratios and may limit us with respect to certain business activities, including capital expenditures. The debt agreements allow us to add estimated EBITDA from acquired businesses for periods we did not own the acquired business. The debt agreements also provide for an adjustment to EBITDA, subject to certain limitations, for non-cash charges or gains that are non-recurring in nature. For 2017, our covenant calculations do not include any estimated EBITDA from acquired businesses.
Our key debt covenants are as follows:
|
|
•
|
Interest-bearing debt is not to exceed 3.5X Adjusted EBITDA of the prior four quarters; and
|
|
|
•
|
Adjusted EBITDA over the prior four quarters must be at least 2.5X our interest expense over the same period.
|
At
July 1, 2017

Our businesses are cyclical, but we have diversity in our markets, from a product, customer and a geographical standpoint. We have demonstrated the ability to effectively manage through business cycles and maintain liquidity. We have consistently generated operating cash flows in excess of our capital expenditures. Based on our available credit facilities, recent issuance of senior unsecured notes and our history of positive operational cash flows, we believe that we have adequate liquidity to meet our needs.
We have not made any provision for U.S. income taxes in our financial statements on approximately $481.1 million of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as we intend to reinvest those earnings. Of our cash balances of $448.2 million at
July 1, 2017
, approximately $349.6 million is held in entities outside the United States. If we need to repatriate
foreign cash balances to the United States to meet our cash needs, income taxes would be paid to the extent that those cash repatriations were undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. The determination of the additional U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes have not been provided, as the determination is not practicable.
