FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND CAUTIONARY FACTORS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties.

Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future events or results may differ materially from these statements. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or any other reason.

The following is a list of factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Actuant Corporation, doing business as Enerpac Tool Group (“Actuant,” “Company,” "we," or "us"), have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of August 31, 2019 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Company’s fiscal 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of financial results have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2020.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (and subsequently ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2019-01), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. The amendments also expanded disclosure requirements for key information about leasing arrangements. On September 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach and through implementing selected third-party lease software utilized as a central repository for all leases. The Company elected the package of practical expedients allowing us to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for leases that commenced prior to September 1, 2019. In addition, we elected not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases containing terms of 12 months or less and not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company updated its standard lease accounting policy to address the new standard, revised the Company’s business processes and controls to align to the updated policy and new standard and completed the implementation of and data input into the Company’s lease accounting software solution. The most significant impact of the standard on the Company was the recognition of a $60.8 million ROU asset and operating lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at adoption. The standard did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, as a result of sale leaseback transactions in previous years for which gains were deferred and under the new standard would have been recognized, the Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which represents the recognition of these previously deferred gains. See Note 15, “Leases” for further discussion of the Company’s operating leases.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in their consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the guidance in the three months ended November 30, 2019 which resulted in an increase to retained earnings with an offsetting increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.7 million.

Note 2. Revenue Recognition

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company generates its revenue under two principal activities, which are discussed below:

Product Sales: Sales of tools, heavy-lifting solutions, and rope and cable solutions are recorded when control is transferred to the customer (i.e., performance obligation has been satisfied). For the majority of the Company’s product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product is shipped from the Company to the customer. Due to the highly customized nature and limited alternative use of certain products, for which the Company has an enforceable right of reimbursement for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized over time. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over time revenue associated with these custom products. For a majority of the Company’s custom products, machine hours and labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) are used as a measure of progress.

Service & Rental Sales: Service contracts consist of providing highly trained technicians to perform bolting, technical services, machining and joint integrity work for our customers. These revenues are recognized over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over time revenue associated with service contracts. For a majority of the Company’s service contracts, labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) is used as the measure of progress when it is determined to be a better depiction of the transfer of control to the customer due to the timing and pattern of labor hours incurred. Revenue from rental contracts (less than a year and non-customized products) is generally recognized ratably over the contract term, depicting the customer’s consumption of the benefit related to the rental equipment.

Disaggregated Revenue and Performance Obligations

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and product line and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. See Note 13, "Segment Information" for information regarding our revenue disaggregation by reportable segment and product line.

The following table presents information regarding revenues disaggregated by the timing of when goods and services are transferred (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended November 30,
	2019		2018
Revenues recognized at point in time	$	104,812	$	108,255
Revenues recognized over time	41,862		50,296
Total	$	146,674	$	158,551

Table of Contents

Contract Balances

The Company's contract assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):



	November 30, 2019		August 31, 2019
Receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, net	$	122,027	$	125,883
Contract assets, which are included in other current assets	4,948		3,747
Contract liabilities, which are included in other current liabilities	1,775		3,707

Receivables: The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred and a receivable for the Company is established.

Contract Assets: Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. The Company has contract assets on contracts that are generally long-term and have revenues that are recognized over time.

Contract Liabilities: As of November 30, 2019, the Company had certain contracts where there were unsatisfied performance obligations and the Company had received cash consideration from customers before the performance obligations were satisfied. The majority of these contracts relate to long-term customer contracts (project durations of greater than three months) and are recognized over time. The Company estimates that the $1.8 million will be recognized in net sales from satisfying those performance obligations within the next twelve months.

Significant Judgments

Timing of Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time: The Company evaluates when the customer obtains control of the product based on shipping terms, as control will transfer, depending upon such terms, at different points between the Company's manufacturing facility or warehouse and the customer’s location. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery because i) the Company has a present right to payment at that time; ii) the legal title has been transferred to the customer; iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer; and iv) the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product.

Variable Consideration: The Company estimates whether it will be subject to variable consideration under the terms of the contract and includes its estimate of variable consideration in the transaction price based on the expected value method when it is deemed probable of being realized based on historical experience and trends. Types of variable consideration may include rebates, incentives and discounts, among others, which are recorded as a reduction to net sales at the time when control of a performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

Practical Expedients & Exemptions: The Company elected to expense the incremental cost to obtaining a contract when the amortization period for such contracts would be one year or less. The Company does not disclose the value of unperformed obligations for i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Note 3. Restructuring Charges

The Company has undertaken or committed to various restructuring initiatives including workforce reductions; leadership changes; plant consolidations to reduce manufacturing overhead; satellite office closures; the continued movement of production and product sourcing to low-cost alternatives; and the centralization and standardization of certain administrative functions. Liabilities for severance will generally be paid within twelve months, while future lease payments related to facilities vacated as a result of restructuring will be paid over the underlying remaining lease terms. During fiscal 2019, the Company announced a new restructuring plan focused on i) the integration of the Enerpac and Hydratight businesses (Industrial Tools & Service ("IT&S") segment), ii) the strategic exit of certain commodity type services in our North America Services operations (IT&S segment) and iii) driving efficiencies within the overall corporate structure. Total restructuring charges associated with this restructuring plan were $1.5 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019.

The following rollforwards summarize restructuring reserve activity for the IT&S reportable segment and corporate (in thousands):

Note 4. Discontinued Operations

On October 31, 2019, as part of our overall strategy to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, the Company completed the previously announced sale of the businesses comprising its former Engineered Components & Systems ("EC&S") segment to wholly owned subsidiaries of BRWS Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners II, LP for a purchase price of approximately $214.5 million (which includes approximately $3.0 million to be paid in four equal quarterly installments after closing). In connection with the completion of the sale in the three months ended November 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net loss of $4.2 million comprised of a loss of $22.4 million representing the excess of the net assets (exclusive of deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with subsidiaries of the Company whose stock was sold as part of the transaction) as compared to the purchase price less costs to sell and the recognition in earnings of the cumulative effect of foreign currency exchange gains and losses during the quarter largely offset by an income tax benefit of $18.2 million associated with the write off of the net deferred tax liability on subsidiaries of the EC&S segment for which the stock was divested. The final loss on sale is subject to agreement with the buyer on working capital amounts at the time of the divestiture. The Company also recognized an additional $3.3 million of impairment & divestiture costs in the quarter associated with the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards associated with employees terminated as part of the transaction and $2.7 million of additional divestiture charges which were necessary to complete the transaction.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company determined that the Precision Hayes business (EC&S segment) was a non-core asset, did not align with the strategic objectives of the Company and, as a result, the Company committed to a plan to sell this business. The Company recorded $9.5 million of impairment & divestiture charges during the three months ended November 30, 2018 representing the excess of the net book value of the net assets held for sale less the anticipated proceeds, less costs to sell. Also, during the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recognized $1.8 million of impairment & divestiture charges associated with the Cortland Fibron business representing the excess of the net book value of the net assets held for sale less the anticipated proceeds, net of transaction costs. Both divestitures were completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

As the aforementioned divestitures were a part of our strategic shift to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, the results of their operations (including the stated impairment & divestiture charges) are recorded as a component of "Loss from discontinued operations" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the EC&S segment are recorded as "Assets from discontinued operations" and "Liabilities from discontinued operations", respectively, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 31, 2019.

The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations (in thousands):



	August 31, 2019
Accounts receivable, net	$	52,802
Inventories, net	76,825
Other current assets	8,058
Property, plant & equipment, net	32,172
Goodwill	16,862

* "Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" for the three months ended November 30, 2019, includes the results of the EC&S segment for the two month period ended October 31, 2019. As a result of the classification of the segment as assets and liabilities held for sale, the Company did not record amortization or depreciation expense in the results of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the three months ended November 30, 2019. Furthermore, the Company excluded EC&S segment employees from the fiscal 2020 bonus compensation plan, hence there are no expenses associated with the plan for the three months ended November 30, 2019.

Note 5. Other Divestiture Activities

On September 20, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the UNI-LIFT product line, a component of our Milwaukee Cylinder business (IT&S segment) for net cash proceeds of $6.0 million, which resulted in an impairment & divestiture benefit of $4.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. An additional $1.5 million of contingent proceeds could be received in the future if the buyer is able to extend a long-term supply agreement with a significant customer of the business which had a change in control provision in their current contract. These contingent proceeds are not reflected within the condensed consolidated financial statements.

After the sale of the UNI-LIFT product line, the Company determined that the remaining Milwaukee Cylinder business was a non-core asset, did not align with the strategic objectives of the Company and, as a result, the Company committed to a plan to sell this business. Therefore at November 30, 2019, the Milwaukee Cylinder business met the held for sale criteria and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the assets and liabilities held for sale, respectively, of the Milwaukee Cylinder business. The $1.7 million of Assets held for sale are comprised of $1.3 million of Accounts receivable, net, $0.3 million of Inventories, net and $0.1 million of Other long-term assets. The $1.7 million of Liabilities held for sale are comprised of $1.1 million of Trade accounts payable, $0.1 million of Accrued compensation and benefits, $0.2 million of Other current liabilities and $0.3 million of Other long-term liabilities. We recorded impairment & divestiture charges of $4.6 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019 comprised of impairment charges of $2.5 million representing the excess of net assets held for sale compared to the anticipated proceeds less costs to sell, $1.9 million associated with our requirement to withdraw from the multi-employer pension plan associated with that business and $0.2 million of other divestiture related charges. The Company completed the divestiture of the Milwaukee Cylinder business on December 2, 2019 for a negligible amount. The historical results of the Milwaukee Cylinder business, inclusive of the UNI-LIFT product line, (which had net sales of $2.9 million and $3.8 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively) are not material to the condensed consolidated financial results.

On October 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the Connectors product line (IT&S segment) for net cash proceeds of $2.7 million, which resulted in an impairment & divestiture benefit of $1.3 million. The historical results of the Connectors product line (which had net sales of $0.2 million and $1.5 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively) are not material to the condensed consolidated financial results.

Note 6. Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Changes in the gross carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, business acquisitions, divestitures and impairment charges. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended November 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):



	Industrial Tools & Services		Other		Total
Balance as of August 31, 2019	$	242,873	$	17,542	$	260,415
Impact of changes in foreign currency rates	3,552		2		3,554
Balance as of November 30, 2019	$	246,425	$	17,544	$	263,969

The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):



		November 30, 2019						August 31, 2019
	Weighted Average Amortization Period (Years)	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value		Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value

		$	164,971	$	113,736	$	51,235	$	164,389	$	112,014	$	52,375

*The decrease in the Gross Carrying Value and Accumulated Amortization of Trademarks and tradenames is a result of the impairment of the Milwaukee Cylinder trademark as discussed in Note 5, "Other Divestiture Activities."

The Company estimates that amortization expense will be $5.7 million for the remaining nine months of fiscal 2020. Amortization expense for future years is estimated to be: $6.7 million in fiscal 2021, $5.9 million in fiscal 2022, $4.4 million in fiscal 2023, $2.8 million in fiscal 2024, $2.1 million in fiscal 2025 and $2.6 million cumulatively thereafter. The future amortization expense amounts represent estimates and may be impacted by future acquisitions, divestitures or changes in foreign currency exchange rates, among other causes.

Fiscal 2019 Impairment Charges

During the three months ended November 30, 2018, within the Other segment, the Company recognized a $10.2 million Goodwill impairment charge related to the Cortland U.S. business in conjunction with triggering events identified during the period.

Note 7. Product Warranty Costs

The Company generally offers its customers an assurance warranty on products sold, although warranty periods may vary by product type and application. The reserve for future warranty claims, which is recorded within the "Other current liabilities" line in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, is based on historical claim rates and current warranty cost experience. The following is a rollforward of the changes in product warranty reserves for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively (in thousands):

Senior Credit Facility

The Company's $600 million Senior Credit Facility is comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and provided for a $200 million term loan which was scheduled to mature in March 2024. It also provides the option for future expansion through a $300 million accordion on the revolving line of credit. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest based on LIBOR or a base rate, with interest rate spreads above LIBOR or the base rate being subject to adjustments based on the Company's net leverage ratio, ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from 1.25% to 1.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the revolving line of credit ranging from 0.15% to 0.3% per annum, based on the Company's net leverage ratio.

The Senior Credit Facility contains two financial covenants which are a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75:1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.5:1. For each covenant, certain transactions lead to adjustments to the underlying ratio, including a reduction of the minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.5 to 3.0 for any fiscal quarter ending within twelve months after the sale of the EC&S segment and an increase to the leverage ratio from 3.75 to 4.25 during the four fiscal quarters after a significant acquisition.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at November 30, 2019. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiary guarantors and certain equity interests owned by the foreign law pledgors.

During the three months ended November 30, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the EC&S segment to pay off the outstanding principal balance on the term loan. In conjunction, we expensed the remaining $0.6 million of associated capitalized debt issuance costs. As of November 30, 2019, the unused credit line and amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit was $394.0 million.

Senior Notes

On April 16, 2012, the Company issued $300 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”), of which $287.6 million remain outstanding. The Senior Notes require no principal installments prior to their June 15, 2022 maturity, require semiannual interest payments in December and June of each year and contain certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Senior Notes include a call feature that allows the Company to repurchase them anytime on or after June 15, 2017 at stated redemption prices currently at 100.9% and reducing to 100.0% on June 15, 2020, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurement

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated book value at both November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of variable rate long-term debt approximated book value at August 31, 2019 as the interest rate approximated market rates (the Company had no variable rate debt outstanding as of November 30, 2019). Foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.2 million at November 30, 2019 and a net asset of less

Table of Contents

than $0.1 million at August 31, 2019. The fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts was based on quoted inactive market prices and is therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes was $290.8 million and $291.5 million at November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes was based on quoted inactive market prices and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Note 10. Derivatives

All derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the value of derivatives (not designated as hedges) are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability, while changes in the value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows.

The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations. In order to manage this risk, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk associated with recognized non-functional currency balances. The effects of changes in exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts and the related non-functional currency asset or liability. These derivative gains and losses offset foreign currency gains and losses from the related revaluation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities (amounts included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations). The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of these short duration foreign currency exchange contracts was $143.2 million and $13.3 million at November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.2 million in November 30, 2019 and a net asset of less than $0.1 million at August 31, 2019. Net foreign currency losses (included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) related to these derivative instruments were as follows (in thousands):

Note 11. Earnings per Share and Shareholders' Equity

The Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock under publicly announced share repurchase programs. Since the inception of the initial share repurchase program in fiscal 2012, the Company has repurchased 22,295,357 shares of common stock for $658.0 million. As of November 30, 2019, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the programs is 5,704,643 shares. During the three months ended November 30, 2019 the Company repurchased 839,789 shares for $17.8 million.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The Company's global operations, acquisition activity and specific tax attributes provide opportunities for continuous global tax planning initiatives to maximize tax credits and deductions. Comparative earnings (loss) before income taxes, income tax expense and effective income tax rates from continuing operations are as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended November 30,
	2019			2018
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense	$	7,322		$	(16,357	)
Income tax expense	950			66
Effective income tax rate	13.0		%	(0.4		)%

The Company’s earnings (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations includes earnings from foreign jurisdictions in excess of 85% of the consolidated total for the estimated full-year fiscal 2020 and 2019. Overall, the annual effective tax rate is not significantly impacted by differences in foreign tax rates now that the U.S. tax rate of 21% is in line with the Company's average foreign tax rate. Both the current and prior year effective income tax rates were impacted by impairment & divestiture (benefit) charges. Results included impairment & divestiture (benefit) charges of $(1.4) million and $23.5 million ($(1.1) million and $23.5 million after tax) for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as well as accelerated debt issuance costs of $0.6 million ($0.5 million after tax) for the three months ended November 30, 2019. Excluding the impairment & divestiture (benefit) charges and accelerated debt issuance costs, the effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018 was 12.7% and 0.9%, respectively. The income tax expense without impairment & divestiture (benefit) charges for the three months ended November 30, 2018 is impacted by tax planning initiatives that are not expected to repeat in future periods due to certain tax attributes that are no longer available and subsequent changes in relevant tax law. Additionally, if recent operational improvements continue in certain foreign jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that all, or a portion, of the related valuation allowances will be released in the second half of fiscal 2020.

Note 13. Segment Information

The Company is a global manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and solutions. The IT&S reportable segment is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools and in providing services and tool rental to the industrial, maintenance, infrastructure, oil & gas, energy and other markets. The Other segment is included for purposes of reconciliation of the respective balances below to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Excludes "Assets from discontinued operations" as of August 31, 2019.

In addition to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the comparability of segment and product line information is impacted by acquisition/divestiture activities, impairment and divestiture charges, restructuring costs and related benefits. Corporate assets, which are not allocated, principally represent cash and cash equivalents, capitalized debt issuance costs and deferred income taxes.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $17.4 million and $18.2 million at November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, respectively, the majority of which relate to commercial contracts and self-insured workers' compensation programs.

As part of the Company's global sourcing strategy, we have entered into agreements with certain suppliers that require the supplier to maintain minimum levels of inventory to support certain products for which we require a short lead time to fulfill customer orders. We have the ability to notify the supplier that they no longer need to maintain the minimum level of inventory should we discontinue manufacturing of a product during the contract period, however, we must purchase the remaining minimum inventory levels the supplier was required to maintain within a defined period of time.

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, breaches of contract, employment, personal injury and other disputes. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable a loss has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, resolution of these contingencies is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company remains contingently liable for lease payments under leases of businesses that it previously divested or spun-off in the event that such businesses are unable to fulfill their future lease payment obligations. The discounted present value of future minimum lease payments for these leases at November 30, 2019 was $8.5 million using a weighted average discount rate of 2.13%.

As previously disclosed, in October 2018, the Company filed a voluntary self-disclosure ("VSD") with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regarding transactions related to otherwise authorized sales of tools and other products totaling approximately $0.5 million by certain of its foreign subsidiaries to two Iranian distributors. It is possible that certain limited transactions relating to the authorized sales fell outside the scope of General License H under the Iranian Transaction

Table of Contents

and Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 560. The VSD also included information about additional transactions by certain of the Company's Dutch subsidiaries with a counterparty in Estonia that may have been in violation of E.O. 13685, as certain sales of products and services may have been diverted to the Crimea region of Ukraine. OFAC is currently reviewing the Company’s disclosures to determine whether any violations of U.S. economic sanctions laws may have occurred and, if so, to determine the appropriate enforcement response. At this time, the Company cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its review of the VSD or the nature of its enforcement response.

Additionally, the Company has self-disclosed the sales to its Estonian customer to relevant authorities in the Netherlands as potentially violating applicable sanctions laws in that country and the European Union. The investigation by authorities in the Netherlands is ongoing and also may result in penalties. At this time, the Company cannot predict when the investigation will be completed or reasonably estimate what penalties, if any, will be assessed.

While there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome of the above matters, the Company currently believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 15. Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 on September 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and as a result did not adjust prior periods. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” for further discussion of the adoption.

As of November 30, 2019, the Company has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, manufacturing equipment, IT equipment, and office equipment. The Company did not have any financing leases during the three month period ended November 30, 2019. Our real estate leases are generally for office, warehouse, and manufacturing facilities typically ranging in term from 5 to 15 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to 3 years at our discretion. Our equipment leases are generally for vehicles and manufacturing and IT equipment typically ranging in term from 3 to 7 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to one year at our discretion. Our leases generally contain payments that are primarily fixed; however, certain lease arrangements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. These amounts include payments affected by changes in the Consumer Price Index and executory costs (such as real estate taxes, utilities and common-area maintenance), which are based on usage or performance. In addition, our leases generally do not include material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract and identify classification of the lease as financing or operating. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We account for the underlying operating lease asset at the individual lease level. Operating leases are recorded as operating lease ROU assets in “Other long-term assets” and operating lease liabilities in “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

All leases greater than 12 months result in recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date and are recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term is equal to the initial term at commencement plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised. ROU assets at the date of commencement are equal to the amount of the initial lease liability, the initial direct costs incurred by the Company and any prepaid lease payments less any incentives received. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term or remaining useful life. As most of our leases do not provide the information required to determine the implicit rate, we utilize a consolidated group incremental borrowing rate for all leases as the Company has centralized treasury operations. The incremental borrowing rate is derived through a combination of inputs such as the Company's credit rating, impact of collaborated borrowing capabilities and lease term.

The Company considers contract modifications when there is a change to the contractual terms, scope of the lease or the consideration given. In the event the right to use an additional asset is granted and the lease payments associated with the additional asset are commensurate with the ROU asset’s standalone price, the modification is accounted for as a separate contract and the original contract remains unchanged. In the event that a single lease is modified, the Company reassesses the classification of the modified lease as of the effective date of the modification based on the modified terms and accounts for initial direct costs, lease incentives and any other payments made to or by the Company in connection with the modification in the same manner that items would be accounted for in connection with a new lease. If there is an additional ROU asset included, the lease term is extended or reduced, or the consideration is the only change in the contract, the Company reallocates the remaining consideration in the contract and remeasures the lease liability using a discount rate determined at the effective date of the modification. The remeasured lease liability for the modified lease is an adjustment to the corresponding ROU asset and does not impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event of a full or partial termination, the carrying value of the ROU asset decreases on a basis proportionate to the full or partial termination and any difference between the reduction in the lease liability and the proportionate reduction of the ROU asset is recognized as a gain or loss at the effective date of the modification.

The Company elected not to recognize short-term leases on its balance sheet and continues to expense such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 16. Guarantor Subsidiaries

As discussed in Note 8, “Debt” on April 16, 2012, Actuant Corporation (the “Parent”) issued $300.0 million of 5.625% Senior Notes, of which $287.6 million remained outstanding as of November 30, 2019. Certain material, domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) fully and unconditionally guarantee the 5.625% Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the Parent.

Certain assets, liabilities and expenses have not been allocated to the Guarantors and the subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 5.625% Senior Notes (the "non-Guarantors") and therefore are included in the Parent column in the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements. These items are of a corporate or consolidated nature and include, but are not limited to, tax provisions and related assets and liabilities, certain employee benefit obligations, prepaid and accrued insurance and corporate indebtedness. Intercompany activity primarily includes loan activity, purchases and sales of goods or services, investments and dividends. Intercompany balances also reflect certain non-cash transactions including transfers of assets and liabilities between the Parent, Guarantor and non-Guarantor, allocation of non-cash expenses from the Parent to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors, non-cash intercompany dividends and the impact of foreign currency rate changes.

The following tables present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Parent, the Guarantors and the non-Guarantors and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result of the refinancing of the Senior Credit Facility in March 2019, certain domestic subsidiaries that were previously Guarantors of the Senior Notes are now non-Guarantors. As such, prior period financial information has been recast to reflect the current Parent, Guarantor, and non-Guarantor structure.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Actuant Corporation, doing business as Enerpac Tool Group, is a premier industrial tools and services company serving a broad and diverse set of customers in more than 90 countries. The Company is a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of high pressure hydraulic tools, controlled force products and solutions for precise positioning of heavy loads that help customers safely and reliably tackle some of the most challenging jobs around the world. The Company was founded in 1910 and is headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The Company has one reportable segment, IT&S. This segment is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools, as well as providing services and tool rental to the industrial, maintenance, infrastructure, oil & gas, energy and other markets. Financial information related to the Company's reportable segment is included in Note 13, "Segment Information" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our businesses provide an array of products and services across multiple markets and geographies which results in significant diversification. The IT&S segment continues to have exposure within the broad industrial landscape, mining and infrastructure markets. Due to economic uncertainties driven by geopolitical uncertainties, such as U.S./China trade negotiations, Brexit and the the U.S. political environment, we have experienced and continue to expect modest deceleration in demand for the majority of fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019. As a result, we still expect consolidated fiscal 2020 adjusted core sales (sales growth excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, strategic exits of non-profitable product and service lines and changes in foreign currency exchange rates) growth of (3%) to 1%.

We remain focused on pursuing both organic and acquisition-related growth opportunities aligned with our strategic objectives. This includes the advancement of our commercial effectiveness initiatives along with new product development efforts. We also remain focused on our lean efforts across our manufacturing, assembly and service operations. Our IT&S segment is focused on accelerating global sales growth through new product introductions and a continued emphasis on sales and marketing efforts. In addition, we remain focused on reducing our concentration in the oil & gas vertical markets by growing sales of critical products, rentals, and services with new and existing customers in other attractive vertical markets including power generation, and rescue. We continue to expect IT&S segment year-over-year adjusted core sales growth of (3%) to 1% in fiscal 2020.

On October 31, 2019, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its former EC&S segment to wholly owned subsidiaries of BRWS Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners II, LP, for a purchase price of approximately $215 million, with approximately $3 million due in four equal quarterly installments through October 31, 2020.

On March 21, 2019, we announced a restructuring plan focused on i) the integration of the Enerpac and Hydratight businesses (IT&S segment), ii) the strategic exit of certain commodity type services in our North America Services operation (IT&S segment), and iii) driving efficiencies within the overall corporate structure. Total restructuring charges associated with this restructuring plan were $1.5 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019 related primarily to headcount reductions and facility consolidations. The Company still expects to achieve a total of $12-$15 million of annual savings with total restructuring costs of $10-$15 million and we anticipate completing the remaining actions associated with this restructuring action in fiscal 2020. The annual benefit of these gross cost savings may be impacted by a number of factors, including sales and production volume variances and annual incentive compensation differentials.

The Company also incurred $0.5 million of restructuring costs within the Other Segment in the three months ended November 30, 2019 associated with a facilities consolidation. The facility consolidation is ongoing and we expect to incur approximately $1 million of additional restructuring charges over the remainder of fiscal 2020. We anticipate realizing approximately $3 million of annual savings associated with the actions and expect to start realizing these savings in fiscal 2020.

Given our global footprint, changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on our financial results, financial position and cash flow. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will continue to add volatility as over one-half of our sales are generated outside of the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The weakening of the U.S. dollar favorably impacts our sales, cash flow and earnings given the translation of our international results into U.S. dollars. This also results in lower costs for certain international operations, which incur costs or purchase components in U.S. dollars, and increases the dollar value of assets (including cash) and liabilities of our international operations. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar has the opposite effect on our sales, cash flow, earnings and financial position.

Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations	6			4	%	(16		)	(10	)%

Diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations	$	0.11				$	(0.27	)

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $147 million, a decrease of $12 million (7%) from the prior year comparative. Core sales were flat year-over-year after adjusting for the $10 million (6%) decrease from divested product lines and strategic exits of certain service offerings. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted net sales comparisons by 1%. Gross profit margins increased 3% as a result of the aforementioned divested product lines and strategic exits. Operating profit was higher in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 largely as a result of restructuring savings of roughly $1 million from actions taken in last fiscal year's fourth quarter and decreased impairment & divestiture charges ($23 million of charges in fiscal 2019 as a result of the held for sale treatment of the Cortland U.S. business as compared to a net $1 million benefit in the current year from divestiture activities associated with non-core product lines and business) offset by higher restructuring charges in the current year.

Segment Results

Industrial Tools & Services Segment

The IT&S segment is a global supplier of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools and services to a broad array of end markets, including industrial, energy, mining and production automation markets. Its primary products include branded tools, highly engineered heavy lifting technology solutions, and hydraulic torque wrenches (Product product line). On the services side, we provide energy maintenance and manpower services to meet customer-specific needs and rental capabilities for certain of our products (Service & Rental product line). The following table sets forth the results of operations for the IT&S segment (in millions):



	Three Months Ended November 30,
	2019			2018
Net sales	$	136		$	149
Operating profit	26			26
Operating profit %	19.2		%	17.7		%

IT&S segment net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased by $13 million (9%). Strategic exits and divestitures of non-core product lines accounted for $10 million (6%) of the decrease and changes in foreign currency unfavorably impacted net sales by 1%. After consideration of the divestiture activities and the strategic exit of certain service offerings, core sales decreased by 1% predominantly as a result of decelerating demand in our North America Product product line amid macroeconomic uncertainty slightly offset by strong performance in our Middle East Service & Rental product line and stabilization of the European Product product line.

Table of Contents

Operating profit remained flat from the prior year despite the decrease in net sales as a result of the divestitures and strategic exit of certain product lines. The low profitability of these sales coupled with restructuring savings were offset by current quarter restructuring charges, resulting in flat profitability year-over-year.

Corporate

Corporate expenses increased by $0.5 million as a result of higher corporate development costs.

Financing Costs, net

Net financing costs were $6.7 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Financing costs decreased as a result of lower outstanding balances on our Senior Credit Facility, including the pay off of the term loan in early November. The benefit from lower cash interest expense was partially offset as a result of expensing the remaining $0.6 million of capitalized debt issuance costs associated with the term loan upon the early pay off of the outstanding principal balance.

Income Tax Expense



	Three Months Ended November 30,
	2019			2018
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense	$	7		$	(16	)
Income tax expense	1			—
Effective income tax rate	13.0		%	(0.4		)%

The Company’s earnings (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations includes earnings from foreign jurisdictions in excess of 85% of the consolidated total for the estimated full-year fiscal 2020 and 2019. Overall, the annual effective tax rate is not significantly impacted by differences in foreign tax rates now that the U.S. tax rate of 21% is in line with the Company's average foreign tax rate. Both the current and prior year effective income tax rates were impacted by impairment & divestiture (benefit) charges. Results included impairment & divestiture (benefit) charges of $(1) million and $23 million ($(1) million and $23 million after tax) for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as well as accelerated debt issuance costs of $0.6 million ($0.5 million after tax) for the three months ended November 30, 2019. Excluding the impairment & divestiture (benefit) charges and accelerated debt issuance costs, the effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018 was 12.7% and 0.9%, respectively. The income tax expense without impairment & divestiture (benefit) charges for the three months ended November 30, 2018 is impacted by tax planning initiatives that are not expected to repeat in future periods due to certain tax attributes that are no longer available and subsequent changes in relevant tax law. Additionally, if recent operational improvements continue in certain foreign jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that all, or a portion, of the related valuation allowances will be released in the second half of fiscal 2020.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

At November 30, 2019, we had $207 million of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents included $195 million of cash held by our foreign subsidiaries and $12 million held domestically. The following table summarizes our cash flows (used in) provided by operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):



	Three Months Ended November 30,
	2019			2018
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(23	)	$	(29	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	213			(8		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(195		)	(10		)
Effect of exchange rates on cash	1			—
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents*	$	(4	)	$	(47	)

*The table above includes activity associated with our discontinued operations (former EC&S segment), which was operational for the full period in the three months ended November 30, 2018 and included activity through the divestiture on October 31, 2019 in three month period ended November 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in operating activities was $23 million for the three months ended November 30, 2019 as compared to $29 million in the three months ended November 30, 2018. The net use of cash is consistent with historical results of operations in the first quarter due to increases in working capital amounts and the payment of our annual bonus compensation. The decrease in cash used by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 was a result of a decreased bonus compensation payment and improved working capital management within our continuing operations. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities increased $221 million as a result of divestiture proceeds net of transactions costs from the sale of the EC&S segment ($219 million) and non-core product lines ($9 million) in addition to lower capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 2019 ($3 million).

Net cash used in financing activities was $195 million for the three months ended November 30, 2019 compared to $10 million for the three months ended November 30, 2018. The cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2020 consisted primarily of the early pay off of the outstanding principal balance on the term loan of $175 million and treasury share repurchases of $18 million, which compared to $8 million of principal repayments on the term loan in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and no share repurchase activity.

The Company's $600 million Senior Credit Facility is comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and provided for a $200 million term loan which was scheduled to mature in March 2024 (see Note 8, "Debt" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the Senior Credit Facility). During the three months ended November 30, 2019, the Company paid off the outstanding principal balance on the term loan. The unused credit line and amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit was $394 million at November 30, 2019.

We believe that the revolving line of credit, combined with our existing cash on hand and anticipated operating cash flows, will be adequate to meet operating, debt service, acquisition and capital expenditure funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

Primary Working Capital Management

We use primary working capital as a percentage of sales (PWC %) as a key metric of working capital management. We define this metric as the sum of net accounts receivable and net inventory less accounts payable, divided by the past three months sales annualized. The following table shows a comparison of primary working capital (in millions):



	November 30, 2019			PWC%		August 31, 2019			PWC%
Accounts receivable, net	$	122		21	%	$	126		20	%
Inventory, net	80			14	%	77			12	%
Accounts payable	(69		)	(12	)%	(77		)	(12	)%
Net primary working capital	$	133		23	%	$	126		20	%

Commitments and Contingencies

We are contingently liable for certain lease payments under leases within businesses we previously divested or spun-off. If any of these businesses do not fulfill their future lease payment obligations under a lease, we could be liable for such obligations. As of November 30, 2019, the present value of future minimum lease payments, using a weighted average discount rate of 2.13%, on previously divested or spun-off businesses was $9 million.

We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $17 million and $18 million at November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, respectively, the majority of which relate to commercial contracts and self-insured workers' compensation programs.

We are also subject to certain contingencies with respect to legal proceedings and regulatory matters which are described in Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations have materially changed in fiscal 2020 from what was previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2019 as a result of the divestiture of our EC&S segment, specifically related to lease commitments disclosed therein. See Note 15, "Leases" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosure of our future contractual obligations from our continuing operations with respect to Leases as of November 30, 2019.

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 are considered by management to be the most critical in understanding judgments involved in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. For information about more of the Company’s policies, methodology and assumptions related to critical accounting policies refer to the Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2019.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The diverse nature of our business activities necessitates the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity costs.

Interest Rate Risk: We manage interest expense using a mixture of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. A change in interest rates impacts the fair value of our 5.625% Senior Notes, but not our earnings or cash flow, because the interest rate on such debt is fixed. As of November 30, 2019, our variable-rate funding sources consisted primarily of the revolving line of credit under our Senior Credit Facility. However, we do not have any borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit as of November 30, 2019.

Foreign Currency Risk: We maintain operations in the U.S. and various foreign countries. Our more significant non-U.S. operations are located in Australia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Mexico, United Arab Emirates and China, and we have foreign currency risk relating to receipts from customers, payments to suppliers and intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Under certain conditions, we enter into hedging transactions (primarily foreign currency exchange contracts) that enable us to mitigate the potential adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rate risk (see Note 10, “Derivatives” for further information). We do not engage in trading or other speculative activities with these transactions, as established policies require that these hedging transactions relate to specific currency exposures.

The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most currencies can have an unfavorable impact on our results of operations and financial position as foreign denominated operating results are translated into U.S. dollars. To illustrate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of our results of operations, quarterly sales and operating profit were remeasured assuming a ten percent decrease in all foreign exchange rates compared with the U.S. dollar. Using this assumption, quarterly sales would have been lower by $6 million and operating profit would have been lower by $1 million, respectively, for the three months ended November 30, 2019. This sensitivity analysis assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar and excludes the potential effects that changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have on sales levels or local currency prices. Similarly, a ten percent decline in foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar would result in a $39 million reduction to equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss) as of November 30, 2019, as a result of non U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities being translated into U.S. dollars, our reporting currency.

Commodity Cost Risk: We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials, such as steel and plastic resin, are subject to price fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our results. We strive to pass along such commodity price increases to customers to avoid profit margin erosion.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our

Table of Contents

Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
