Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts) (Unaudited)



1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Jason Industries, Inc. (“Jason Industries”), including its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a global industrial manufacturing company. In the first quarter of 2019, as part of a review of the Company’s organizational structure, the Company made certain strategic leadership changes which required a reassessment of reportable segments. Based on this evaluation, the Company changed how it makes operating decisions, assesses performance of the business, and allocates resources. As a result of the evaluation, the Company reduced the number of operating and reportable segments from four to three: industrial, engineered components, and fiber solutions. The prior year segment disclosures have been updated to conform with current year presentation.
The Company operates in the United States and 13 foreign countries. The Company’s industrial segment, formerly the finishing segment, focuses on the production of industrial brushes, polishing buffs and compounds, abrasives, and roller technology products that are used in a broad range of industrial and infrastructure applications. The engineered components segment, the combined former seating and components segments, designs, engineers, and manufactures seating, safety and filtration products used in heavy industry (construction, agriculture, and material handling), turf care, power sports, rail and general industrial applications. The fiber solutions segment, formerly the acoustics segment, manufactured technical, non-woven fiber-based acoustical, thermal, and structural products serving automotive and other end markets.
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company determined that the North American fiber solutions business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, the Company's prior period results of operations, financial position and notes to financial statements have been recast to be presented on a continuing operations basis, except where noted. The assets and liabilities of the North American fiber solutions business have been presented as held for sale for periods prior to the sale. On August 30, 2019, the Company completed the divestiture of its North American fiber solutions business.
On August 12, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has engaged an advisor to explore strategic alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).
The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Throughout the year, the Company reports its results using a fiscal calendar whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length, ending on a Friday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on January 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on December 31. For 2019, the Company’s fiscal quarters are comprised of the three months ending March 29, June 28, September 27 and December 31. In 2018, the Company’s fiscal quarters were comprised of the three months ended March 30, June 29, September 28 and December 31.
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. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Recently issued accounting standards
Accounting standards adopted in the current fiscal year
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 establishes new accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. See Note 8, “Leases” for further discussion regarding the adoption of this standard.

Jason Industries, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts) (Unaudited)


In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 broadens the scope of financial and nonfinancial strategies eligible for hedge accounting and makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. In addition, the standard amends the presentation and disclosure requirements for hedges and is intended to more closely align the hedge accounting guidance with a company’s risk management strategies. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures within the accompanying notes.
Accounting standards to be adopted in future fiscal periods
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”). ASU 2018-14 modifies certain disclosure requirements for pension and other postretirement plans, such as eliminating requirements to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the impact that a 1% increase or decrease in the medical trend rate would have on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. As the scope of ASU 2018-14 is limited to only financial disclosure requirements, the standard will not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the employee benefit plan disclosures within the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements, as well as the planned timing of adoption.

2. Revision of Previously Reported Financial Information
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company identified an error in the income tax provision and deferred income taxes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. As a result of this error, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 on Form 10-K/A. See the Form 10-K/A for additional details regarding the error.
As a result of this error, the Company’s previously reported tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018 was overstated by $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. While the impact of this error is not material to the previously reported quarterly interim periods, the Company has revised its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018 included herein to reflect the correction of this error. Amounts throughout the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to incorporate the revised amounts, where applicable.

(1)The previously reported balances have been adjusted to conform to results from continuing operations due to the sale of the former North American fiber solutions business. Refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion on the transaction completed in the third quarter of 2019.
The above corrections did not impact total net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing or financing activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for any previous period. Other than the adjustments to net loss for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018, as described above, which impacted recorded retained deficit and total shareholdersdeficit, there were no other impacts to the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders(deficit) equity. There was no impact to the Companys previously reported “segment” Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018.

3. Discontinued Operations
On August 30, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its North American fiber solutions business to ACR II Motus Integrated Technologies Cooperatief U.A., Motus Pivot MX Holding B.V, Motus Pivot Holding B.V. and Motus Pivot Inc. (collectively, the “Motus Group”), pursuant to an agreement dated as of August 11, 2019, by and between two subsidiaries of the Company and the Motus Group (the “Sale Agreement”), for a purchase price of $85.0 million, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Sale Agreement (the “Transaction”). The purchase price was reduced by $5 million due to the outcome of certain commercial activities for which the measurement period ended on October 31, 2019. The purchase price is also subject to a net working capital adjustment to be settled within 110 days of the closing date.

The following table summarizes the cash received from the sale of the North American fiber solutions business before transaction costs, income taxes and certain retained liabilities:
Base purchase price $ 85,000   
Less: contingent purchase price not earned (5,000)  
Less: debt and pension liabilities assumed by the Motus Group (2,206)  
Plus: preliminary working capital surplus  
Plus: excess cash at closing 1,394   
Adjusted purchase price 79,193   
Less: cash divested (3,894)  
Less: consideration held in escrow and closing balance sheet adjustments (278)  
Sale proceeds from divestiture, net of cash divested and liabilities assumed by buyer $ 75,021   
Total divestiture-related costs for the sale of the North American fiber solutions business were $5.2 million, of which $0.5 million is non-cash share-based compensation expense. Of the remaining cash transaction expenses, $3.4 million has been paid as of September 27, 2019. Of the divestiture-related costs, $3.0 million were deemed to be direct costs of the sale and were included as a component of the loss on divestiture within net loss from discontinued operations. The remaining costs related to retention agreements with key personnel and other professional related costs which are included within selling and administrative expenses and termination benefits with the former general manager of the business which are included within restructuring, both within net loss from discontinued operations.
The divestiture reduced the Company’s automotive market exposure, increased its liquidity, and simplified its portfolio of businesses. In addition, the simplified portfolio will allow the Company to invest in and focus on margin expansion and growth in the engineered components and industrial segments.
The Company determined that the North American fiber solutions business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, the historical results of the North American fiber solutions business are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation and the assets and liabilities of the North American fiber solutions business have been retrospectively reclassified as assets and liabilities held for sale.
The following table summarizes the results of the North American fiber solutions business reclassified as discontinued operations for both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018. As the North American fiber solutions business sale occurred on August 30, 2019, there are only two months of North American fiber solutions business results included in the three months ended September 27, 2019 and only eight months of North American fiber solutions business results included in the nine months ended September 27, 2019.

4. Acquisition
On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Schaffner Manufacturing Company, Inc. (“Schaffner”). Schaffner is a North American manufacturer of high-quality polishing and finishing products. These products are manufactured and distributed by the industrial segment. Through the acquisition of Schaffner, the Company expanded its

polishing product line offerings within North America. Upon finalization of working capital adjustments and other settlement items, the purchase price was $11.0 million, net of $0.2 million of cash acquired, all of which has been paid as of September 27, 2019. The related purchase agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants between the named parties.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The operating results and cash flows of Schaffner are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from April 1, 2019, the date of the acquisition.
The Company has recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the April 1, 2019 acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation   
Accounts receivable $ 2,415   
Inventories 3,334   
Other current assets 18   
Property, plant and equipment 2,299   
Right-of-use operating lease assets 222   
Goodwill 2,078   
Other intangible assets 2,670   
Current liabilities (1,911)  
Other long-term liabilities (125)  
Total purchase price $ 11,000   
The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $2.1 million in the industrial segment, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill generated from Schaffner is primarily attributable to expected synergies from leveraging the industrial segment’s global distribution and sales network and cross-selling of Schaffner’s product portfolio to the industrial segment’s customer base. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the preliminary valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The amounts allocated to goodwill and intangible assets are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to adjustments to reflect the final valuations.
The preliminary values allocated to other intangible assets - net and the weighted average useful lives are as follows:
Gross Carrying Amount Weighted Average Useful Life (years)
Customer relationships $ 1,750    10
Trademarks 400    1
Non-compete agreements 520    5
$ 2,670   
The Company recognized $0.4 million of acquisition-related transaction costs that were expensed in the nine months ended September 27, 2019. These costs are included in the consolidated statements of operations as “Selling and administrative expenses”.
During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, $4.4 million and $9.7 million of net sales from Schaffner were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, respectively. Pro forma historical results of operations related to the acquisition of Schaffner have not been presented as they are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

5. Net Sales
The industrial segment operates principally as a provider of industrial brushes, polishing buffs and compounds, abrasives and roller technology products that are used in a broad range of industrial and infrastructure applications. The Company typically sells products within this business under purchase orders through both direct to customer and distribution sales channels. The Company generally transfers control and recognizes net sales when the product is shipped to the customer. Within the industrial segment, there are certain custom products for customers with minimum stocking agreements for which the Company recognizes net sales over time. Revenue from products transferred to customers over time accounted for less than 1% of industrial net sales for both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018.

The engineered components segment operates principally as a seating and component supplier to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) within the lawn and turf care, agriculture, construction, material handling, power sports, rail and general industrial markets. The Company sells products within this business under both purchase orders and contracts for custom products primarily through the direct to customer sales channel. The Company transfers control and recognizes net sales at a point in time upon shipment to the customer under these contracts.
The Company disaggregates net sales by geography based on the country of origin of the final sale with the external customer. In certain cases the products may be manufactured in other countries at facilities within the Company’s global network.

The Company disaggregates net sales by sales channel as either direct or distribution net sales. Direct net sales are defined as net sales ordered by and sold directly to the end customer without the involvement of a third party. For our OEM customers, direct sales include certain spare parts and accessories which are intended for resale to end consumers. Distribution net sales are defined as net sales ordered by and sold to a third party that intends to resell the products to the end consumer.

6. Restructuring Costs
On March 1, 2016, as part of a strategic review of organizational structure and operations, the Company announced a global cost reduction and restructuring program (the “2016 program”). The 2016 program, as used herein, refers to costs related to various restructuring activities across business segments. This includes entering into severance and termination agreements with employees and footprint rationalization activities, including exit and relocation costs for the consolidation and closure of plant facilities and lease termination costs. These activities were ongoing throughout fiscal 2016, 2017, 2018 and the six months ended June 28, 2019 and were considered substantially complete as of June 28, 2019. As the 2016 program was deemed to be complete for identification of new actions as of December 31, 2018, all costs incurred during 2019 under the program related to completion of actions previously identified prior to closure of the program.
In 2019, additional restructuring initiatives were identified across the business segments, and the Company anticipates continuing to identify future actions including entering into severance and termination agreements with employees and footprint rationalization activities, including exit and relocation costs for the consolidation and closure of plant facilities. As these are not part of the 2016 program, such costs are presented separately below in “Other Restructuring Actions.”
Restructuring costs are presented separately on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
2016 Program
The following table presents the restructuring costs recognized by the Company under the 2016 program by reportable segment. The other costs incurred under the 2016 program for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 primarily include charges related to the closure of a U.K. plant within the engineered components segment. The other costs incurred under the 2016 program for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 primarily include charges related to the consolidation of two U.S. plants within the engineered components segment. The Company did not incur any costs under the 2016 program during the three months ended September 27, 2019. The 2016 program is considered complete and no additional costs are expected to be incurred for the remainder of 2019.

8. Leases
Adoption of ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and all related amendments using the modified retrospective method with no adjustments to comparative prior periods. The Company also elected certain practical expedients that allowed the Company to (1) recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings; (2) forgo reassessment of its prior conclusions on (a) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease, (b) the lease classification of expired or existing leases, and (c) whether any costs incurred for expired or existing leases qualified as initial direct costs; and (3) use an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to choose whether or not to separate non-lease components from lease components. Subsequent to the date of adoption, the Company recognizes and measures new or modified leases in accordance with ASC 842. Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company recognized and measured leases in accordance with ASC 840, “Leases” and prior period results continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
Under the modified retrospective approach for the adoption of ASC 842, the adoption resulted in the recording of a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $28.4 million and a lease liability of $30.9 million within the condensed consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2019. The difference between the ROU asset and lease liability on the date of adoption relates to the reclassification of $2.3 million of certain previously recorded deferred rent balances to the ROU asset.
In addition, in accordance with the implementation guidance of ASU 2016-02, on January 1, 2019 the Company recorded the cumulative impact of adopting the new standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements in which the Company recorded a deferred gain within other long-term liabilities of $1.0 million, $0.8 million net of tax, to retained deficit related to a previous sale leaseback of its Libertyville, Illinois facility.
Finance and Operating Lease Obligations
The Company’s lease portfolio includes both real estate and non-real estate type leases which are accounted for as either finance or operating leases. Real estate leases generally include office, warehouse and manufacturing facilities and non-real estate leases generally include office equipment, manufacturing machinery, vehicles and other transportation equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 13 years. Many of the leases include provisions that enable the Company to renew the lease, and a number of leases are subject to various escalation clauses. Renewal options that are deemed reasonably certain are included as part of the lease term for purposes of calculating the ROU asset and lease liability. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet on the date the Company takes possession of the leased assets with expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an estimated total term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company will only reassess the lease classification when modifications or changes to key terms are made to a lease agreement. Generally, the Company’s real estate type leases contain both lease components and non-lease components. Non-lease components of real estate type leases are excluded from the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability and are excluded from lease expense. For the Company’s non-real estate type leases, non-lease components are included in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability and included in lease expense over the term of the lease. The Company uses a discount rate to calculate the ROU asset and lease liability. When the implicit rate is known or provided in the lease documents, the Company is required to use this rate as the discount rate. In cases in which the implicit rate is not known, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate based upon the sovereign treasury rate for the currency in which the lease liability is denominated on the date the Company takes possession of the leased asset adjusted for various factors, such as term and an internal credit spread.

Long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying value may not be recoverable. During the third quarter of 2019, a triggering event was identified due to sustained sales and profitability declines within a business in the engineered components segment, which resulted in the Company performing an analysis to assess long-lived assets of the asset group for impairment. The estimated fair value of the long-lived assets was determined using a probability weighted approach using both discounted cash flow projections based on future financial performance and a market approach. The fair value determination is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to its use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs. As a result of this analysis, non-cash impairment charges of $14.9 million and $5.7 million were recorded for customer relationship and trademark intangible assets, respectively, in the engineered components segment during the third quarter of 2019. These intangible asset impairment charges are recorded as impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and as a reduction of the gross carrying amount of the other intangible assets - net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Amortization of intangible assets was $2.6 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was $7.6 million and $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively. Included within amortization expense for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, was $2.3 million of accelerated amortization expense in the engineered components segment related to the exit from non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies in 2018. Included within the table below is the impact of amortization resulting from the Schaffner acquisition on April 1, 2019. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company anticipates the annual amortization for the current full fiscal year and each of the four subsequent fiscal years and thereafter to be the following:
2019 $ 9,830   
2020 8,185   
2021 7,943   
2022 7,770   
2023 7,761

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
As of September 27, 2019, the Company’s U.S. credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) included (i) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $310.0 million (“First Lien Term Loans”) maturing June 30, 2021, of which $290.2 million is outstanding, (ii) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $110.0 million (“Second Lien Term Loans”) maturing June 30, 2022, of which $89.9 million is outstanding, and (iii) a revolving loan of up to $25.5 million (“Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing December 31, 2020. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2020. The amendment reduced the borrowing capacity from $30.0 million to $25.5 million. In connection with the amendment, the Company paid deferred financing costs of $0.3 million which have been recorded within other assets - net within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The principal amount of the First Lien Term Loans amortizes in quarterly installments equal to $0.8 million, with the balance payable at maturity. At the Company’s election, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is based on a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (c) the Eurocurrency rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin equal to (x) 3.50% in the case of the First Lien Term Loans, (y) 2.25% in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility or (z) 7.00% in the case of the Second Lien Term Loans or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin equal to (x) 4.50% in the case of the First Lien Term Loans, (y) 3.25% in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility or (z) 8.00% in the case of the Second Lien Term Loans. Borrowings are subject to a floor of 1.00% in the case of Eurocurrency loans. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility may be subject to adjustment based upon Jason Incorporated’s (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) consolidated first lien net leverage ratio. At September 27, 2019, the interest rates on the outstanding balances of the First Lien Term Loans and Second Lien Term Loans were 6.8% and 10.3%, respectively.
Under the Revolving Credit Facility, if the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans, swingline loans and certain letter of credit obligations (letters of credit in excess of $5.0 million) exceeds $10.0 million at the end of any fiscal quarter, Jason Incorporated and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) will be required to not exceed a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, currently specified at 4.50 to 1.00, with a decrease to 4.25 to 1.00 on December 31, 2019 and a decrease to 4.00 to 1.00 on June 26, 2020 and thereafter. If such outstanding amounts do not exceed $10.0 million at the end of any fiscal quarter, no financial covenants are applicable. The consolidated first lien net leverage ratio at September 27, 2019 was 6.62 to 1.00; therefore, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to a total of $10.0 million, which includes letters of credit in excess of $5.0 million. At September 27, 2019, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $4.7 million and had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company is subject to mandatory excess cash flow prepayments if certain requirements are met. At September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was no required mandatory excess cash flow prepayment required under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Additionally, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments resulting from non-ordinary course sales or other dispositions of assets, subject to certain exceptions and subject to customary reinvestment provisions. In connection with the August 30, 2019 sale of the North American fiber solutions business, the Company received net cash proceeds, as defined by the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, of $63.1 million. The Company intends to reinvest these net proceeds as permitted under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Permitted reinvestments include capital expenditures, repairs and maintenance and permitted acquisitions, if such reinvestments occur within twelve months following receipt of such net cash proceeds or within 180 days of a contractual commitment if such a commitment is made during the twelve month period. To the extent there are net cash proceeds that are not reinvested during the aforementioned period, a mandatory prepayment of debt is required.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of Jason Incorporated and its Restricted Subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; sell assets; pay dividends and make other payments in respect of capital stock; make acquisitions, investments, loans and advances; pay and modify the terms of certain indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into negative pledge clauses and clauses restricting subsidiary distributions; and change its line of business, in each case, subject to certain limited exceptions. To comply with these covenants, Jason Incorporated and its Restricted Subsidiaries are limited in the amount of cash that can be distributed to Jason Industries, Inc. in the form of dividends, loans or other distributions. As of September 27, 2019, this limit was $17.0 million.
Foreign debt
The Company has the following foreign debt obligations, including various overdraft facilities and term loans:
September 27, 2019 December 31, 2018
Germany $ 13,481    $ 15,002   
India 534    467   
Total foreign debt $ 14,015    $ 15,469   
These various foreign loans are comprised of individual outstanding obligations ranging from approximately $0.2 million to $8.2 million and $0.1 million to $9.3 million as of September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Certain of the Company’s foreign borrowings contain financial covenants requiring maintenance of a minimum equity ratio and/or maximum leverage ratio, among others. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 27, 2019.
The foreign debt obligations in Germany relate to term loans of $13.2 million at September 27, 2019 and $15.0 million at December 31, 2018. The German borrowings bear interest at fixed and variable rates ranging from 2.1% to 4.7% and are subject to repayment in varying amounts through 2025.
Interest Rate Hedge Contracts
The Company is exposed to certain financial risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates. To manage exposure to such fluctuations, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”) in 2015 with notional values totaling $210.0 million at both September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Swaps have been designated by the Company as cash flow hedges, and effectively fix the variable portion of interest rates on variable rate term loan borrowings at a rate of approximately 2.08% prior to financing spreads and related fees. The Swaps have an expiration date of June 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million of interest income, respectively, related to the Swaps. For the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, the Company recognized $0.9 million and $0.1 million of interest income, respectively, related to the Swaps. Based on current interest rates, the Company expects to recognize interest expense of $0.1 million related to the Swaps in the next 12 months.

11. Share-Based Compensation
In 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved 3,473,435 shares of common stock to be reserved and authorized for issuance under the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) to certain executive officers, senior management employees, and members of the Board of Directors. On February 27, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved an amendment to the 2014 Plan to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock by 4,000,000 shares. At September 27, 2019, there were 1,252,915 shares of common stock that remained authorized and available for future grants.
The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values for all share-based awards issued to employees and directors, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units, which are restricted stock units with vesting conditions contingent upon achieving certain performance goals. Share-based compensation expense is reported in selling and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company recognized the following share-based compensation expense:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 27, 2019 September 28, 2018 September 27, 2019 September 28, 2018
Restricted stock units $ 525    $ 742    $ 1,717    $ 1,252   
Adjusted EBITDA vesting awards (168)   104    108    308   
Share-based compensation from continuing operations 357    846    1,825    1,560   
Share-based compensation from discontinued operations 581    98    784    167   
Total share-based compensation expense $ 938    $ 944    $ 2,609    $ 1,727   
Total income tax benefit recognized from continuing and discontinued operations $ 210    $ 234    $ 513    $ 428   
Share-based compensation expense from discontinued operations during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 includes $0.5 million of accelerated expense for 303,030 restricted and performance share units that vested upon the sale of the North American fiber solutions business.
As of September 27, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was approximately $3.4 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.
In connection with the vesting of RSUs previously granted by the Company, a number of shares sufficient to fund statutory minimum tax withholding requirements was withheld from the total shares issued or released to the award holder (under the terms of the 2014 Plan, the shares are considered to have been issued and are not added back to the pool of shares available for grant). During the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, there were 392,115 and 2,837 shares, respectively, withheld to satisfy the requirement. The withholding is treated as a reduction in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ (deficit) equity.

Included within the 2,518,736 RSU awards outstanding as of September 27, 2019 are 414,799 RSU awards for members of our Board of Directors which have vested and issuance of the shares has been deferred, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $4.25.
Performance Share Units
Performance share unit awards based on Adjusted EBITDA performance metrics are payable at the end of their respective performance period in common stock. The Company expenses the cost of the performance-based share unit awards based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant and the estimated achievement of the performance metric, ratably over the performance period of approximately three years.
Adjusted EBITDA Vesting Awards - 2019 Grant
In the first quarter of 2019, the Company granted performance share unit awards based on achievement of an Adjusted EBITDA performance target during a three year measurement period ending December 31, 2021. The number of share units awarded can range from zero to 100% depending on achievement of a targeted performance metric, and are payable in common stock within a thirty day period following the end of the performance period.
In the third quarter of 2019, the Company lowered its estimated vesting of the performance share unit awards from 100% of target, or 613,000 shares, to an estimated vesting payout of 0%, or 0 shares, resulting in $0.1 million of share-based compensation income due to declines in projected profitability. As of September 27, 2019, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to the Adjusted EBITDA based vesting performance share unit awards expected to be recognized in subsequent periods.
Adjusted EBITDA Vesting Awards - 2017 Grant
In the third quarter of 2017, the Company granted performance share unit awards based on achievement of an Adjusted EBITDA performance target during a three year measurement period ending March 30, 2020. The number of share units awarded can range from zero to 100% depending on achievement of a targeted performance metric, and are payable in common stock within a thirty day period following the end of the performance period.
In the third quarter of 2019, the Company lowered its estimated vesting of the performance share unit awards from 100% of target, or 872,180 shares, to an estimated payout of 80%, or 697,744 shares, resulting in $0.1 million of share-based compensation income due to declines in profitability. As of September 27, 2019, there was $0.2 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to cumulative Adjusted EBITDA based vesting performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.5 years.

12. Earnings per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing dilutive income (loss) per share, basic income (loss) per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including public warrants, RSUs, performance share units and convertible preferred stock.
The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted loss per share calculation and the anti-dilutive shares are as follows:

Each outstanding warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $12.00 per share.
(2)Includes the impact of 843 additional Series A Preferred Stock shares from a stock dividend declared on August 1, 2019 to be paid in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock on October 1, 2019. The Company included the preferred stock within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the declaration date. Conversion is presented at the voluntary conversion ratio of approximately 81.18 common shares for each preferred share.
Warrants are considered anti-dilutive and excluded when the exercise price exceeds the average market value of the Company’s common stock price during the applicable period. Performance share units are considered anti-dilutive if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares are contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Due to losses allocable to the Company’s common shareholders for each of the periods presented, potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method, in accordance with ASC 260.

13. Income Taxes
At the end of each three month period, the Company estimates a base effective tax rate expected for the full year based on the most recent forecast of its pre-tax income (loss), permanent book and tax differences, and global tax planning strategies. The Company uses this base rate to provide for income taxes on a year-to-date basis, excluding the effect of significant, unusual, discrete or extraordinary items, and items that are reported net of their related tax effects. The Company records the tax effect of significant, unusual, discrete or extraordinary items, and items that are reported net of their tax effects in the period in which they occur.
The effective tax rate was 13.5% and 25.1% for the three months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate was 9.9% and 22.5% for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively. The effective income tax rate for both 2019 and 2018 reflects the amount of taxable income or loss at the U.S. Federal statutory rate, taxable earnings or losses derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate, the impact of the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) and interest deduction limitation provisions contained in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”), and discrete items including the impairment charge recorded in the engineered components segment for the three months ended September 27, 2019. The net discrete tax benefit was $3.3 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, respectively. The net discrete tax benefit was $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018.
The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $2.3 million and $2.1 million as of September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, all of which would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.
In connection with the August 30, 2019 sale of the North American fiber solutions business, the Company recognized a $24.9 million taxable gain. The Company expects to use certain interest expense limitation carryovers and federal and state net operating loss carryovers to offset this gain. The Company does not expect to pay any significant U.S. taxes on the gain. As a result of the sale, the Company expects an insignificant amount of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to be available to reduce future taxable earnings, and as a result, taxes payable in the future may be greater than they would have been in the absence of such sale.  
During the next twelve months, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will not change. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to tax matters in its tax provision. The Company has an immaterial amount of accrued interest and penalties that were recorded as a component of the income tax provision as of September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Series A Preferred Stock Dividends
The Company paid the following dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 27, 2019:
Payment Date Record Date Amount Per Share Total Dividends Paid Preferred Shares Issued
January 1, 2019 November 15, 2018 $20.00    $796    794
April 1, 2019 February 15, 2019 $20.00    $812    809
July 1, 2019 May 15, 2019 $20.00    $828    826
On August 1, 2019, the Company declared a $20.00 per share dividend on its Series A Preferred Stock to be paid in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock on October 1, 2019 to holders of record on August 15, 2019. As of September 27, 2019, the Company has recorded the 843 additional Series A Preferred Stock shares declared for the dividend of $0.8 million within preferred stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Shareholder Rights Agreement
On September 1, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock, payable to the shareholders of record on September 6, 2019. The Rights will also accompany any new shares of common stock issued after September 6, 2019. The Rights trade with and are inseparable from the Company's common stock and will not be evidenced by separate certificates unless they become exercisable. The Rights will expire on March 1, 2021.
In general terms the Rights Agreement works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group which acquires 30% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock without approval of the Company's Board of Directors.
Each right will allow its holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $5.00, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Rights Agreement, once the Rights become exercisable. Per the Rights Agreement, the Rights will not be exercisable until the earlier of (1) 10 days after the public announcement that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) by obtaining beneficial ownership of 30% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock or (2) 10 business days (or such later date as the Company's Board of Directors shall determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person.
Exchange of preferred stock for common stock of Jason Industries, Inc.
On January 22, 2018, certain holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock exchanged 12,136 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for 1,395,640 shares of the Company’s common stock, a conversion rate of 115 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock agreements, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the option to convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock into approximately 81.18 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments in the conversion rate. The excess of the book value of the Series A Preferred Stock over the par value of the Company’s common stock issued in the exchange was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the redemption premium, represented by the excess of the exchange conversion rate over the agreement conversion rate, was recorded as a reduction to net loss available to common shareholders of Jason Industries within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

15. Business Segments, Geographic and Customer Information
In the first quarter of 2019, as part of a review of the Company’s organizational structure, the Company made certain strategic leadership changes which required a reassessment of reportable segments. Based on this evaluation, the Company changed how it makes operating decisions, assesses performance of the business, and allocates resources. As a result, the Company reduced the number of operating and reportable segments from four to three. Reportable segments include the former finishing segment renamed as the industrial segment, the former seating and components segments combined into one engineered components segment, and the former acoustics segment renamed as the fiber solutions segment. On August 30, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its North American fiber solutions business, which comprised all of the fiber solutions segment for the periods presented, is classified as a discontinued operation and excluded from the disclosures below. The prior year disclosures have been updated to conform with current year presentation. Previously, on August 30, 2017, the

Company completed the sale of the European fiber solutions, which did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations presentation at the time of the divestiture.
Net sales information relating to the Company’s reportable segments was as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 27, 2019 September 28, 2018 September 27, 2019 September 28, 2018
Industrial $ 48,859    $ 51,016    $ 153,589    $ 160,448   
Engineered Components 36,751    56,013    143,065    194,992   
Net Sales $ 85,610    $ 107,029    $ 296,654    $ 355,440   
The Company uses “Adjusted EBITDA” as the primary measure of profit or loss for the purposes of assessing the operating performance of its segments. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding the impact of operational restructuring charges and non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment, divestitures and extinguishment of debt, integration and other restructuring charges, transaction-related expenses, other professional fees, purchase accounting adjustments, lease expense associated with vacated facilities and non-cash share based compensation expense.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a clear picture of the Company’s operating results by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Certain corporate-level administrative expenses such as payroll and benefits, incentive compensation, travel, marketing, accounting, auditing and legal fees and certain other expenses are kept within the corporate results and are not allocated to the business segments. Shared expenses across the Company that directly relate to the performance of our reportable segments are allocated to the segments. Adjusted EBITDA is used to facilitate a comparison of the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting its segments. The Company’s internal plans, budgets and forecasts use Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric. In addition, this measure is used to evaluate its operating performance and segment operating performance and to determine the level of incentive compensation paid to its employees.
As the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as its primary measure of segment performance, GAAP on segment reporting requires the Company to include this measure in its discussion of segment operating results. The Company must also reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to operating results presented on a GAAP basis.

16. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of financial instruments
Current accounting guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with the guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.
Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
The carrying amounts within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company assessed the amounts recorded under revolving loans, if any, and long-term debt and determined that the fair value of total debt was approximately $342.4 million at September 27, 2019 and $387.4 million at December 31, 2018. The Company considers the inputs related to these estimations to be Level 2 fair value measurements as they are primarily based on quoted prices for the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The valuation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and therefore the Company’s derivatives are classified within Level 2.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation Matters
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of its business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, labor, and employment claims. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred as of the balance sheet date and can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
At September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held reserves of $1.0 million for environmental matters at one location. The ultimate cost of any remediation required will depend on the results of future investigation. Based upon available information, the Company believes that it has obtained and is in substantial compliance with those material environmental permits and approvals necessary to conduct its business. Based on the facts presently known, the Company does not expect environmental costs to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Introductory Note
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, and related notes thereto, along with the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains certain financial measures, in particular the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are being presented because they provide readers of this MD&A with additional insight into our operational performance relative to comparable prior periods presented and relative to our peer group. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are key measures used by us to evaluate our performance. We do not intend for these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for any GAAP financial information. Readers of this MD&A should use these
34


non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, are provided in this MD&A.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. Throughout the year, we report our results using a fiscal calendar whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Friday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on January 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on December 31. For 2019, our fiscal quarters are comprised of the three months ended March 29, June 28, September 27, and December 31. In 2018, our fiscal quarters were comprised of the three months ended March 30, June 29, September 28, and December 31. Throughout this MD&A, we refer to the period from June 29, 2019 through September 27, 2019 as the “third quarter of 2019” or the “third quarter ended September 27, 2019”. Similarly, we refer to the period from June 30, 2018 through September 28, 2018 as the “third quarter of 2018” or the “third quarter ended September 28, 2018.”
Revision of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
During the first quarter of 2019, we identified an error in the income tax provision presented within the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018. This MD&A has been revised to reflect the revision of the income tax provision. See Note 2, “Revision of Previously Reported Financial Information” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Overview
We are a global industrial manufacturing company with significant market share positions in each of our two segments: industrial and engineered components. We provide critical components and manufacturing solutions to customers across a wide range of end markets, industries and geographies through our global network of 26 manufacturing facilities and 9 sales offices, administrative and/or warehouse facilities throughout the United States and 13 foreign countries. We have embedded relationships with long standing customers, superior scale and resources, and specialized capabilities to design and manufacture specialized products on which our customers rely. In the first quarter of 2019, as part of a review of our organizational structure, we made certain strategic leadership changes which required a reassessment of reportable segments. Based on this evaluation, we changed how we make operating decisions, assess performance of the business, and allocate resources. As a result of the evaluation, we reduced the number of operating and reportable segments from four to three: industrial, engineered components and fiber solutions. The prior year disclosures have been updated to conform with current year presentation.
During the third quarter of 2019, we determined that the North American fiber solutions business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, our prior period results of operations and financial position have been recast to be presented on a continuing operations basis, except where noted. The assets and liabilities of the North American fiber solutions business have been presented as held for sale for periods prior to the sale. On August 30, 2019, we completed the divestiture of our North American fiber solutions business. Previously, on August 30, 2017, we completed the sale of the European fiber solutions, which did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations presentation at the time of the divestiture.
We focus on markets with sustainable growth characteristics and where we are or have the opportunity to become, the industry leader. Our industrial segment, formerly the finishing segment, focuses on the production of industrial brushes, polishing buffs and compounds, abrasives, and roller technology products that are used in a broad range of industrial and infrastructure applications. The engineered components segment, the combined former seating and components segments, designs, engineers, and manufactures seating, safety, and filtration products used in heavy industry (construction, agriculture, and material handling), turf care, power sports, rail and general industrial applications.
During both the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, approximately 32% of our net sales were from outside of the United States based on the country of origin of the final sale with the external customer. As a diversified, global business, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic and political factors. Given the broad range of products manufactured and industries and geographies served, management primarily uses general economic trends to predict the overall outlook for the Company. Our individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including to the extent possible their sales, to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future.

The Three and Nine Months Ended September 27, 2019 Compared with the Three and Nine Months Ended September 28, 2018
Net sales. Net sales were $85.6 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019, a decrease of $21.4 million, or 20.0%, compared with $107.0 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018, reflecting decreased net sales in the engineered components segment of $19.3 million and the industrial segment of $2.2 million. The $19.3 million decrease in the engineered components segment was partially due to a $5.8 million decrease related to the exit from non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies. See “Segment Financial Data” within Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” for further discussion on net sales for each segment.
Net sales were $296.7 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019, a decrease of $58.8 million, or 16.5%, compared with $355.4 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, reflecting decreased net sales in the engineered components segment of $51.9 million and the industrial segment of $6.9 million. The $51.9 million decrease in the engineered components segment was partially due to a $19.5 million decrease related to the exit from non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies. See “Segment Financial Data” within Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” for further discussion on net sales for each segment.
On April 1, 2019, we acquired Schaffner. Schaffner’s results of operations are included within the industrial segment and the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. Net sales from Schaffner were $4.4 million and $9.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, respectively. See Note 4, “Acquisition” in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Schaffner acquisition.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared with the U.S. dollar had a net negative impact of $1.5 million on consolidated net sales during the three months ended September 27, 2019 compared with 2018, negatively impacting the industrial segment’s net sales by $1.5 million. This was due principally to the net strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro in the three months ended September 27, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 28, 2018. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared with the U.S. dollar had a net negative impact of $6.2 million on consolidated net sales during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with 2018, negatively impacting the industrial segment’s net sales by $6.2 million. This was due principally to the net strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold was $70.8 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $84.6 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to lower sales volumes across all segments, lower manufacturing costs of $4.7 million in the engineered components segment due to the exit from non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies, a $1.1 million decrease related to foreign currency exchange rates, reduced material usage and labor costs as a result of continuous improvement programs, lower material costs in the engineered components segment and reduced freight costs. The decrease was partially offset by higher manufacturing costs in the industrial segment due to the Schaffner acquisition of $4.0 million, lower material and labor efficiencies related to sales volume declines in the engineered components and industrial segments and unfavorable product mix in the engineered components segment.
Cost of goods sold was $239.2 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $275.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to lower sales volumes across all segments, lower manufacturing costs of $15.2 million in the engineered components segment due to the exit from non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies, a $4.6 million decrease related to foreign currency exchange rates, reduced material usage and labor costs as a result of continuous improvement programs in the engineered components segment and reduced freight costs across both segments. The decrease was partially offset by higher manufacturing costs in the industrial segment due to the Schaffner acquisition of $8.2 million, lower material and labor efficiencies related to sales volume declines in both the engineered components and industrial segments, raw material inflation across all segments, unfavorable product mix in the engineered components segment and accelerated depreciation expense of $1.5 million in the engineered components segment related to facility consolidation.
Gross profit. For the reasons described above, gross profit was $14.8 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $22.5 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018 and $57.4 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $79.9 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018.
Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses were $20.4 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $20.2 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018, an increase of $0.2 million. The increase is primarily due to higher selling and administrative costs in the industrial segment due to the Schaffner acquisition of $0.7 million and $0.4 million of integration and transaction costs related to the Schaffner acquisition. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $0.5 million, lower headcount across the segments and a $0.3 million decrease related to foreign currency exchange rates. The decrease in share-based compensation
37


was primarily due to a decrease in assumed vesting of Adjusted EBITDA based awards in the third quarter of 2019, which resulted in a $0.2 million reversal of previously recorded expense.
Selling and administrative expenses were $63.7 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with $67.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, a decrease of $4.0 million. The decrease is primarily due to the acceleration of amortization expense of $2.3 million on intangible assets in the engineered components segment related to the exit from non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies in 2018, a $1.4 million decrease related to foreign currency exchange rates, lower headcount across the segments and decreased incentive compensation. The decrease was partially offset by higher selling and administrative costs in the industrial segment due to the Schaffner acquisition of $1.8 million, a $0.3 million increase in integration and transaction costs related to Schaffner acquisition and an increase in share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million due to restricted stock units granted in May 2018 and March 2019.
Impairment charges. Non-cash impairment charges were $20.6 million for both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019. Non-cash impairment charges of $14.9 million and $5.7 million were recorded for customer relationship and trademark intangible assets, respectively, related to a business in the engineered components segment due to sustained sales and profitability declines. See Note 9, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Loss (gain) on disposals of property, plant and equipment - net. Loss on disposals of property, plant and equipment - net for the three months ended September 27, 2019 was $0.0 million compared to a gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Loss on disposals of property, plant and equipment - net for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 was $0.0 million compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. The loss on disposals of property, plant and equipment - net for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 includes $0.2 million from the disposition of equipment in connection with the consolidation of two U.S. facilities in the engineered components segment.
Restructuring. Restructuring costs were $1.3 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019 compared with $0.3 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Restructuring costs were $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. During 2019, such costs included severance costs in corporate and the industrial segment related to the segment reorganization in the first quarter of 2019 and work force reductions in the second and third quarters of 2019 in response to declining end market demand. Other restructuring costs included plant closure and consolidation in the industrial and engineered components segments and transitional costs of moving production to U.S. facilities as a result of the closure of a U.K. facility in the engineered components segment. During 2018, such costs were primarily move costs related to the consolidation of two U.S. facilities in the engineered components segment.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $8.2 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019 compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. The effective interest rate on the Company’s total outstanding indebtedness for both the three months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018 was 8.3%.
Interest expense was $24.7 million for both the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018 as the increase in interest expense caused by higher variable interest rates for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018, was offset by the decrease in outstanding long-term debt balances. The effective interest rate on the Company’s total outstanding indebtedness for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 was 8.4% as compared to 8.3% for the nine months ended September 28, 2018.
See “Senior Secured Credit Facilities” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A for further discussion.
Equity income. Equity income was $0.0 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019 and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Equity income was $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. The decrease in equity income is due to lower sales volumes in our joint ventures in China and Taiwan.
Other income - net. Other income - net was income of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019 and income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Other income - net was income of $0.6 million for both the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018. Other income - net for both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 includes the reclassification to earnings of foreign currency translation gains of $0.8 million for the wind down and substantial dissolution of certain U.K. entities. Other income - net for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 also includes $0.3 million of transaction-related expenses related to debt financing activities. Other income - net for both the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018 includes $0.4 million of income related to proceeds from a settlement in the engineered components segment associated with periods prior to the Company’s go public business combination.
Loss from continuing operations before income taxes. For the reasons described above, loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $34.7 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $5.7 million
38


for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $54.6 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018.
Tax benefit. The tax benefit was $4.7 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019, compared with a tax benefit of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. The tax benefit was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with a tax benefit of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2019 was 13.5%, compared with 25.1% for the three months ended September 28, 2018. The effective tax rate was 9.9% for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with 22.5% for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. The net discrete tax benefit was $3.3 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, respectively, and the net discrete tax benefit was $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018. The net discrete tax benefits during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 primarily related to the impairment charge recorded in the engineered components segment.
The tax provision is impacted by a number of factors, including, among others, new provisions included in the Tax Reform Act, the amount of taxable earnings or losses at the U.S. federal statutory rate, the amount of taxable earnings or losses derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate, permanent items, state tax rates, the ability to utilize foreign net operating loss carry forwards and adjustments to valuation allowances. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 was impacted by the levels of U.S. and foreign pre-tax losses and earnings, respectively, pre-tax losses in foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized, U.S. interest disallowance, the new GILTI tax provisions, and the impairment charge in the engineered components segment.
Net loss from continuing operations. For the reasons described above, net loss from continuing operations was $30.0 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $4.3 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Net loss from continuing operations was $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018.
Other comprehensive (loss) income. Other comprehensive loss was $4.5 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019 compared with other comprehensive loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Other comprehensive loss was $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with other comprehensive loss of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018.
Other comprehensive income for the net change in unrealized (losses) gains on cash flow hedges was $0.0 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019 compared with other comprehensive income of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Other comprehensive loss for the net change in unrealized (losses) gains on cash flow hedges was $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with other comprehensive income of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are based on the changes in current interest rates and market expectations of the timing and amount of future interest rate changes. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, the fair value of the hedging instruments decreased, based on actual and future expectations for short-term interest rate decreases. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018, the fair value of the hedging instruments increased, based on actual and future expectations for interest rate increases.
Other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency translation adjustments was $4.6 million for the three months ended September 27, 2019 compared with other comprehensive loss for foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Other comprehensive loss for foreign currency translation adjustments was $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with other comprehensive loss for foreign currency translation adjustments of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. Foreign currency translation adjustments are based on fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies (primarily the Euro) against the U.S. Dollar each period.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.1 million, or 3.6% of net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $10.8 million, or 10.1% of net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2018, a decrease of $7.7 million, or 71.4%. The decrease reflects lower Adjusted EBITDA in the engineered components segment of $4.7 million, the industrial segment of $2.6 million and higher corporate expenses of $0.4 million.
Adjusted EBITDA was $20.3 million, or 6.8% of net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $40.1 million, or 11.3%, of net sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, a decrease of $19.8 million, or 49.3%. The decrease reflects lower Adjusted EBITDA in the engineered components segment of $14.9 million and the industrial segment of $6.0 million, partially offset by lower corporate expenses of $1.2 million.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared with the U.S. dollar had a negative impact of $0.2 million on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA during the three months ended September 27, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 28, 2018, negatively impacting the industrial segment’s Adjusted EBITDA by $0.2 million.
39


During the nine months ended September 27, 2019, changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a negative impact of $0.9 million on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018, which negatively impacted the industrial segment’s Adjusted EBITDA by $0.9 million.
See “Segment Financial Data” within Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” for further discussion on Adjusted EBITDA for each segment.

Key Measures the Company Uses to Evaluate Its Performance
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We use “Adjusted EBITDA” as the primary measure of profit or loss for the purposes of assessing the operating performance of our segments. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding the impact of operational restructuring charges and non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment, divestitures and extinguishment of debt, integration and other restructuring charges, transaction-related expenses, other professional fees, purchase accounting adjustments, lease expense associated with vacated facilities and non-cash share based compensation expense.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a more clear picture of our operating results by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We use this metric to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting our segments. Our internal plans, budgets and forecasts use Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric and we use this measure to evaluate our operating performance and segment operating performance and to determine the level of incentive compensation paid to its employees.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities (defined in Note 10, “Debt and Hedging Instruments” and below) definition of EBITDA excludes income of partially owned affiliates, unless such earnings have been received in cash.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss:

(1)Restructuring includes costs associated with exit or disposal activities as defined by GAAP related to facility consolidation, including one-time employee termination benefits, costs to close facilities and relocate employees, and costs to terminate contracts other than financing leases in 2018 and financing and operating leases in 2019. See Note 6, “Restructuring Costs” of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
(2)Transaction-related expenses primarily consist of professional fees and other expenses related to acquisitions, divestitures and financing activities.
40


(3)During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, integration and other restructuring costs includes $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of integration costs related to an acquisition in the industrial segment, $0.4 million in both periods related to lease expense associated with facilities that have been or are planned to be vacated in the engineered components segment and $0.4 million in both periods related to a reserve for excess inventory for a vacated warehouse in the engineered components segment. This was offset by $0.8 million in both periods related to the reclassification to earnings of a foreign currency translation gain for the wind down and substantial dissolution of certain U.K. entities.
During the nine months ended September 28, 2018, integration and other restructuring costs of $1.5 million were incurred associated with a force majeure incident at a supplier in the engineered components segment that resulted in incremental costs to maintain production. Such costs are not included in restructuring for GAAP purposes and were subsequently recovered through insurance during the remainder of 2018. The integration and other restructuring costs during the nine months ended September 28, 2018 were partially offset by a $0.4 million settlement gain on proceeds from a supplier claim in the engineered components segment associated with periods prior to the Company’s go public business combination.
(4)Represents share-based compensation expense for awards under the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan. See Note 11, “Share-Based Compensation” of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
(5)Loss on disposals of property, plant and equipment - net for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 includes a loss of $0.2 million from the disposition of equipment in connection with the consolidation of two U.S. facilities in the engineered components segment.
(6)During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, non-cash impairment charges of $14.9 million and $5.7 million were recorded for customer relationship and trademark intangible assets, respectively, related to a business in the engineered components segment due to sustained sales and profitability declines. See Note 9, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Adjusted EBITDA % of net sales 10.2  % 14.9  % (470) bps  
Net sales in the industrial segment for the three months ended September 27, 2019 were $48.9 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 4.2%, compared with $51.0 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. For the three months ended September 27, 2019, the Schaffner acquisition on April 1, 2019 contributed $4.4 million of incremental net sales and foreign currency fluctuations had a net negative impact of $1.5 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of the Schaffner acquisition, for the three months ended September 27, 2019, net sales were $46.0 million, a decrease of $5.1 million or 10.0%. The $5.1 million decrease in net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2019 was primarily due to lower sales volume in industrial end markets in Europe and the U.S., partially offset by increased pricing.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 27, 2019 decreased $2.6 million to $5.0 million (10.2% of net sales) from $7.6 million (14.9% of net sales) for the three months ended September 28, 2018. For the three months ended September 27, 2019, the Schaffner acquisition on April 1, 2019 contributed $0.5 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA and foreign currency fluctuations had a net negative impact of $0.2 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of the Schaffner acquisition, for the three months ended September 27, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was $4.7 million (10.2% of net sales), a decrease of $2.9 million or 38.2%. The $2.9 million decrease primarily resulted from lower sales volume in industrial end markets, lower labor productivity related to the sales volume decline, and $0.5 million of lower equity income due to lower sales volumes in our joint ventures in China and Taiwan. The decrease was partially offset by decreased incentive compensation, increased sales pricing, lower headcount and lower freight costs.

The $10.3 million decrease in net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 was primarily due to lower sales volume in industrial end markets in Europe and the U.S., partially offset by increased pricing.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 decreased $6.0 million to $17.8 million (11.6% of net sales) from $23.8 million (14.8% of net sales) for the nine months ended September 28, 2018.

The $6.0 million decrease primarily resulted from lower sales volume in industrial end markets, raw material inflation, lower labor productivity related to the sales volume decline, and $0.7 million of lower equity income due to lower sales volumes in our joint ventures in China and Taiwan. The decrease was partially offset by increased sales pricing, lower freight costs and decreased incentive compensation.

Net sales in the engineered components segment for the three months ended September 27, 2019 were $36.8 million, a decrease of $19.3 million, or 34.4%, compared with $56.0 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018. The decrease during the three months ended September 27, 2019 was due to a $5.8 million decrease related to the exit from non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies and lower sales volumes due to end market declines in the construction, agriculture, power sports, turf care, rail and industrial markets. The decrease was partially offset by increased pricing on core product lines.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.7 million, or 76.8%, for the three months ended September 27, 2019 to $1.4 million (3.9% of net sales) compared with $6.2 million (11.0% of net sales) for the three months ended September 28, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 27, 2019 resulted from non-recurring price increases during the 2018 exit of the non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies, lower sales volumes, lower material and labor efficiencies related to the sales volume decline and unfavorable product mix compared with the prior period. The decrease was partially offset by increased pricing on core product lines, reduced material usage and labor costs as a result of continuous improvement programs, decreased incentive compensation, lower raw material costs and lower headcounts.

The decrease during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 was due to a $19.5 million decrease related to the exit from non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies and lower sales volumes due to end market declines in the construction, agriculture, power sports, turf care, rail and industrial markets.

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 resulted from non-recurring price increases during the 2018 wind down of the non-core product lines for smart utility meter subassemblies, lower sales volumes, lower material and labor efficiencies related to the sales volume decline, unfavorable product mix compared with the prior period and raw material inflation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Background
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operations, available cash and borrowings under our U.S. and foreign credit facilities. As of September 27, 2019, we had $110.6 million of total liquidity, including $92.7 million of available cash, $10.0 million of additional borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of our U.S. credit agreement, and $7.9 million available under revolving loan facilities that we maintain outside the U.S. Included in our consolidated cash balance of $92.7 million at September 27, 2019, is cash of $11.6 million held at our non-U.S. operations. These funds, with some restrictions and tax implications, are available for repatriation as deemed necessary by us. The Revolving Credit Facility portion of our U.S. credit agreement and foreign revolving loan facilities are available for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.
In connection with the August 30, 2019 sale of the North American fiber solutions business, we received net cash proceeds, as defined by the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, of $63.1 million. We intend to reinvest these net proceeds as permitted under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Permitted reinvestments include capital expenditures, repairs and maintenance and permitted acquisitions, if such reinvestments occur within twelve months following receipt of such net cash proceeds or within 180 days of a contractual commitment if such a commitment is made during the twelve month period. To the extent there are net cash proceeds that are not reinvested during the aforementioned period, a mandatory prepayment of debt is required.
We believe our existing cash on hand, expected future cash flows from operating activities, and additional borrowings available under our U.S. and foreign credit facilities provide sufficient resources to fund ongoing operating requirements as well as future capital expenditures and debt service requirements.
Indebtedness
As of September 27, 2019, our total outstanding indebtedness of $389.9 million was comprised of term loans outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities of $375.2 million (net of a debt discount of $2.0 million and deferred financing costs of $2.9 million), various foreign bank term loans and revolving loan facilities of $14.0 million and finance lease obligations of $0.7 million. No borrowings were outstanding under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of September 27, 2019.
As of December 31, 2018, our total outstanding indebtedness of $391.8 million was comprised of term loans outstanding under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities of $375.7 million (net of a debt discount of $2.7 million and deferred financing costs of $4.1 million), various foreign bank term loans and revolving loan facilities of $15.5 million and finance lease obligations of $0.6 million. No borrowings were outstanding under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of December 31, 2018.
We maintain various bank term loan and revolving loan facilities outside the U.S. for local operating and investing needs. Borrowings under these facilities totaled $14.0 million as of September 27, 2019, including borrowings of $13.5 million incurred by our subsidiaries in Germany, compared to $15.5 million as of December 31, 2018, including borrowings of $15.0 million incurred by our subsidiaries in Germany. The foreign debt obligations in Germany primarily relate to term loans within our industrial segment of $13.2 million at September 27, 2019 and $15.0 million at December 31, 2018. The borrowings bear interest at fixed and variable rates ranging from 2.1% to 4.7% and are subject to repayment in varying amounts through 2025.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
General. On June 30, 2014, Jason Incorporated, as the borrower, entered into (i) the First Lien Credit Agreement, with Jason Partners Holdings Inc., Jason Holdings, Inc. I, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) and (ii) the Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2014, with Jason Partners Holdings Inc., Jason Holdings, Inc. I, the subsidiary
45


guarantors party thereto and the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement” and, together with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”). Jason Incorporated, Jason Partners Holdings Inc., and Jason Holdings, Inc. I are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Jason Industries, Inc.
The First Lien Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for (i) term loans in the principal amount of $310.0 million (the “First Lien Term Facility” and the loans thereunder the “First Lien Term Loans”), of which $290.2 million is outstanding as of September 27, 2019, and (ii) a revolving loan of up to $25.5 million (including revolving loans, a $10.0 million swingline loan sublimit, and a $12.5 million letter of credit sublimit) (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), in each case under the first lien senior secured loan facilities (the “First Lien Credit Facilities”). The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $110.0 million, of which $89.9 million is outstanding as of September 27, 2019, under the second lien senior secured term loan facility (the “Second Lien Term Facility” and the loans thereunder the “Second Lien Term Loans” and, the Second Lien Term Facility together with the First Lien Credit Facilities, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). During the second quarter of 2019, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2020. The amendment reduced the borrowing capacity from $30.0 million to $25.5 million, subject to compliance with a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio as discussed in the Covenants section below. In connection with the amendment, we paid deferred financing costs of $0.3 million which have been recorded within other assets - net within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Revolving Credit Facility matures December 31, 2020, the First Lien Term Loans mature June 30, 2021 and the Second Lien Term Loans mature June 30, 2022. The principal amount of the First Lien Term Loans amortizes in equal $0.8 million quarterly installments, with the balance payable at maturity. Neither the Revolving Credit Facility nor the Second Lien Term Loans amortize, however, each is repayable in full at maturity.
Security Interests. In connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Jason Partners Holdings Inc., Jason Holdings, Inc. I, Jason Incorporated and certain of Jason Incorporated’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), entered into a (i) First Lien Security Agreement (the “First Lien Security Agreement”), dated as of June 30, 2014, and (ii) a Second Lien Security Agreement (the “Second Lien Security Agreement”, together with the First Lien Security Agreement, the “Security Agreements”), dated as of June 30, 2014. Pursuant to the Security Agreements, amounts borrowed under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and any swap agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any of its affiliates are secured (i) with respect to the First Lien Credit Facilities, on a first priority basis and (ii) with respect to the Second Lien Term Facility, on a second priority basis, by a perfected security interest in substantially all of Jason Incorporated’s, Jason Partners Holdings Inc.’s, Jason Holdings, Inc. I’s and each Subsidiary Guarantor’s tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions), including U.S. registered intellectual property and all of the capital stock of each of Jason Incorporated’s direct and indirect wholly-owned material Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreements) (limited, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 65% of the capital stock of first tier foreign subsidiaries). In addition, pursuant to the Credit Agreements, Jason Partners Holdings Inc., Jason Holdings, Inc. I and the Subsidiary Guarantors guaranteed amounts borrowed under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
Interest Rate and Fees. At our election, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is based on a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (c) the Eurocurrency rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin equal to (x) 3.50% in the case of the First Lien Term Loans, (y) 2.25% in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility or (z) 7.00% in the case of the Second Lien Term Loans or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin equal to (x) 4.50% in the case of the First Lien Term Loans, (y) 3.25% in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility or (z) 8.00% in the case of the Second Lien Term Loans. Borrowings under the First Lien Term Facility and Second Lien Term Facility are subject to a floor of 1.00% in the case of Eurocurrency loans. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility may be subject to adjustment based upon Jason Incorporated’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio.
Interest Rate Hedge Contracts. To manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, we entered into forward interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”) in 2015 with notional values totaling $210.0 million at September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges, and effectively fix the variable portion of interest rates on variable rate term loan borrowings at a rate of approximately 2.08% prior to financing spreads and related fees. The Swaps had a forward start date of December 30, 2016 and have an expiration date of June 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million of interest income, respectively, related to the Swaps. For the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, we recognized $0.9 million and $0.1 million of interest income, respectively, related to the Swaps. Based on current interest rates, we would expect to recognize interest expense of $0.1 million related to the Swaps in the next 12 months.

The fair values of our Swaps are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with the corresponding offset recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The fair values of the Swaps was a net liability of $0.1 million at September 27, 2019 and a net asset of $1.9 million at December 31, 2018, respectively. See the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within the table below:

Mandatory Prepayment. Subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are subject to mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to: (1) a percentage of the net cash proceeds from any non-ordinary course sale or other disposition of assets (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) by Jason Incorporated or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in excess of a certain amount and subject to customary reinvestment provisions and certain other exceptions; (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of debt by Jason Incorporated or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than indebtedness permitted by the Senior Secured Credit Facilities); and (3) 75% (with step-downs to 50%, 25% and 0% based upon achievement of specified consolidated first lien net leverage ratios under the First Lien Credit Facilities and specified consolidated total net leverage ratios under the Second Lien Term Facility) of annual excess cash flow, as defined, of Jason Incorporated and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Other than the payment of customary “breakage” costs, Jason Incorporated may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans at any time. In connection with the August 30, 2019 sale of the North American fiber solutions business, we received net cash proceeds, as defined by the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, of $63.1 million. We intend to reinvest these net proceeds as permitted under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities; therefore, no mandatory prepayment is anticipated at this time. To the extent that there are net proceeds that are not reinvested within twelve months of receipt, or within 180 days of a contractual commitment if such commitment is made during the twelve month period, a mandatory prepayment will be required. At September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was no required mandatory excess cash flow prepayment required under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
Covenants. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of Jason Incorporated and its Restricted Subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; sell assets; pay dividends and make other payments in respect of capital stock; make acquisitions, investments, loans and advances; pay and modify the terms of certain indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into negative pledge clauses and clauses restricting subsidiary distributions; and change its line of business, in each case, subject to certain limited exceptions. To comply with these covenants, Jason Incorporated and its Restricted Subsidiaries are limited in the amount of cash that can be distributed to Jason Industries, Inc. in the form of dividends, loans or other distributions. As of September 27, 2019, this limit was $17.0 million.
In addition, under the Revolving Credit Facility, if the aggregate outstanding amount of all revolving loans, swingline loans and certain letter of credit obligations exceed $10.0 million at the end of any fiscal quarter, Jason Incorporated and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to not exceed a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, currently specified at 4.50 to 1.00, with a decrease to 4.25 to 1.00 on December 31, 2019 and a decrease to 4.00 to 1.00 on June 26, 2020 and thereafter. If such outstanding amounts do not exceed $10.0 million at the end of any fiscal quarter, no financial covenants are applicable. As of September 27, 2019, the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio was 6.62 to 1.00 on a pro forma trailing twelve-month basis calculated in accordance with the respective provisions of the Credit Agreements which exclude the Second Lien Term Loans from the calculation of net debt (numerator) and allow the inclusion of certain pro forma adjustments and exclusion of certain specified or nonrecurring costs and expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA (denominator). Because the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio at September 27, 2019 exceeded 4.50 to 1.00, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would be limited to a total of $10.0 million (which includes letters of credit in excess of $5.0 million). At September 27, 2019, we had letters of credit outstanding of $4.7 million and had no outstanding borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 27, 2019, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit agreements.
Events of Default. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; violation of a covenant; cross-default to material indebtedness; bankruptcy events; inability to pay debts or attachment; material unsatisfied judgments; actual or asserted invalidity of any security document; and a change of control. Failure to comply with these provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (subject to certain grace periods) could, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders under such agreement, restrict the availability of the Revolving Credit Facility and permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreements.

As of September 27, 2019, we have recorded the 843 additional Series A Preferred Stock shares declared for the dividend of $0.8 million within preferred stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Seasonality and Working Capital
We use net operating working capital (“NOWC”), a non-GAAP measure, as a percentage of the previous twelve months of net sales as a key indicator of working capital management. We define this metric as the sum of trade accounts receivable and inventories less trade accounts payable. NOWC as a percentage of trailing twelve month net sales was 17.7% as of September 27, 2019, 13.7% as of December 31, 2018 and 15.2% as of September 28, 2018.
The table below summarizes NOWC as of September 27, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 28, 2018:

NOWC $ 69,498    $ 61,621    $ 69,639   
In overall dollar terms, our NOWC is generally lower at the end of the calendar year due to reduced sales activity around the holiday season. NOWC generally peaks at the end of the first quarter as we experience high seasonal demand from certain customers, particularly those serving the motorcycle and lawn and turf care markets to fill the supply chain for the spring season. There are, however, variations in the seasonal demands from year to year depending on weather, customer

inventory levels, customer planning, and model year changes. We historically generate approximately 51%-55% of our annual net sales in the first half of the year.
NOWC as a percentage of trailing twelve month net sales was unfavorably impacted by approximately 0.7% as of September 27, 2019 related to the April 1, 2019 acquisition of Schaffner. NOWC as a percentage of trailing twelve month net sales was favorably impacted by approximately 0.1% and 0.7% as of September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to the exit of the non-core smart utility meter subassemblies product line.
Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
Our ability to make principal and interest payments on borrowings under our U.S. and foreign credit facilities and our ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. Based on our current level of operations, we believe that our existing cash balances and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may require borrowings under our credit facilities and alternative forms of financings or investments to achieve our longer-term strategic plans.
Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 were $7.2 million on a continuing operations basis, or 2.4% of net sales. Capital expenditures for 2019 are expected to be approximately 2.0% to 2.5% of net sales, but could vary from that depending on business performance, growth opportunities, project activity and the amount of assets we lease instead of purchase. We finance our annual capital requirements with existing cash balances and funds generated from operations.

Capital expenditures $ 8,743    $ 9,636   

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities were $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, a decrease of $35.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower operating profit across all segments principally as a result of lower sales volume for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018. In addition, the decrease resulted from acquisition and divestiture related transaction costs of $3.8 million, changes in operating working capital of $3.6 million and a lower incentive compensation accrual as a result of lower projected attainment percentages. The decrease was partially offset by $0.7 million of cash related to dividends received from our joint venture during the nine months ended September 27, 2019.
Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing
Cash flows provided by investing activities were $56.4 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with cash used of $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. The increase in cash flows provided by investing activities was primarily the result of cash of $75.0 million received from the sale of the North American fiber solutions business, before transaction costs, income taxes and certain retained liabilities, and higher proceeds from disposal of property, plant, and equipment, partially offset by cash used for the acquisition of Schaffner of $11.0 million, net of cash acquired, and by lower capital expenditures of $0.9 million compared to the prior year period.
49


Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities were $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared with $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. The decrease in cash flows used in financing activities was driven by lower payments of $2.5 million on First and Second Lien Term Loans, lower payments of deferred financing costs of $0.3 million, and remittance of $0.7 million of value added tax during the first quarter of 2019 related to the December 2018 sale of our U.K. building.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization totaled $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 is lower than the prior period primarily due to $2.3 million of accelerated intangible amortization expense recorded for a customer relationship intangible asset to reflect the exit of the non-core smart utility meter product lines in the engineered components segment during 2018 and due to the sale of the North American fiber solutions business on August 30, 2019, partially offset by $1.5 million of accelerated depreciation expense recorded in the engineered components segment during 2019.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures totaled $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019, compared with $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018.
Contractual Obligations
There are no material changes to the disclosures regarding contractual obligations made in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the August 30, 2019 sale of the North American fiber solutions business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 13, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for information with respect to our critical accounting policies, which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and, to a lesser extent, commodities. To reduce such risks, we selectively use financial instruments and other proactive management techniques. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined policies and procedures, which strictly prohibit the use of financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Currency Risk: We have manufacturing, sales and distribution operations around the world; therefore, exchange rates impact the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) value of our reported earnings, our investments in our foreign subsidiaries and the intercompany transactions with these subsidiaries. Approximately $95.1 million, or 32%, of our sales originated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar during the first nine months of 2019. As a result, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies against the USD, particularly the Euro, may have a material impact on our reported results. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD using average exchange rates in effect during the period. Consequently, as the value of the USD changes relative to the currencies of our major markets, our reported results vary. For the nine months ended September 27, 2019, sales denominated in Euros approximated $71.1 million. Therefore, with a 10% increase or decrease in the value of the Euro in relation to the USD, our translated net sales (assuming all other factors are unchanged) would increase or decrease by $7.1 million, respectively, and the change in our net (loss) income would increase or decrease by approximately $1.2 million. The net assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. dollar denominated subsidiaries, which totaled approximately $148.4 million as of September 27, 2019, are translated into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in shareholders’ (deficit) equity as cumulative translation adjustments. The cumulative translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 27, 2019 resulted in an increase to shareholders’ deficit of $28.3 million. Transactional foreign currency exchange exposure results primarily from the purchase of products, services or equipment from affiliates or third party suppliers where the purchase value is significant, denominated in another currency and to be settled following the initial transaction date, and from the repayment of intercompany loans between subsidiaries using different currencies. We periodically identify areas where we do not have naturally offsetting currency positions and then may purchase hedging instruments to protect against potential currency exposures. As of September 27, 2019, we did not have any significant foreign currency hedging instruments in place nor did we have any significant sales or purchase commitments in currencies outside of the functional currencies of the operations responsible for satisfying such commitments. All long-term debt is held in the functional currencies of the operations that are responsible for the repayment of such obligations. As of September 27, 2019, long-term debt denominated in currencies other than the USD totaled approximately $14.7 million.
Interest Rate Risk: We utilize a combination of short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations and are exposed to interest rate risk on our outstanding floating rate debt instruments, which bear interest at rates that fluctuate with changes in certain short-term prevailing interest rates. Borrowings under U.S. credit facilities bear interest at rates tied to either the “administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds effective rate,” the Eurocurrency rate, or a Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to LIBOR, subject to an established floor. Until the second quarter of 2018, applicable interest rates were lower than the designated floor in our Senior Secured Credit Facilities; therefore, until that point, interest rates were not subject to change. However, now that interest rates exceed the established floor, a 25 basis point increase or decrease in the applicable interest rates on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease annual interest expense by approximately $0.4 million, net of the impact of interest rate swaps discussed in the paragraph below.
As of September 27, 2019, we have entered into various interest rate swaps in order to mitigate a portion of the variable rate interest exposure. We are counterparty to certain interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $210.0 million entered into in November 2015. These swaps are scheduled to mature in June 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, we swapped three month LIBOR rates for a fixed interest rate, resulting in the payment of a fixed LIBOR rate of 2.08% on a notional amount of $210.0 million. As of September 27, 2019, LIBOR exceeded 2.08%; therefore, assuming interest rates remain above 2.08%, a 25 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease annual interest expense by $0.4 million.
Commodity risk: We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While such materials are generally available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, copper, foam chemicals, plastic resin, vinyl and cotton sheeting 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 and utilize value analysis and value engineering initiatives to further mitigate the impact of commodity raw material price fluctuations as improved efficiencies across all locations are achieved. As of September 27, 2019, we did not have any commodity hedging instruments in place.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 27, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 27, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable level of assurance, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We did not maintain effective internal controls over the accounting for the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Specifically, the internal controls to assess the recoverability of a deferred tax asset for disallowed interest expense were not performed at the appropriate level of precision. This control deficiency resulted in the overstatement of the tax provision and net deferred tax liabilities as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. As a result of this error, we restated our previously reported annual financial statements for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2018 on Form 10-K/A and revised the Company's previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 29, 2018. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in additional misstatements of the aforementioned balances that would result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan
During the second and third quarters of 2019, in conjunction with the preparation of the interim tax provisions, the Company has enhanced the control activities related to the analysis of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. The enhancements include (1) expanded consultation with third party specialists on complex income tax accounting matters, (2) enhanced documentation regarding the considerations and accounting guidance evaluated as part of the analysis supporting the recoverability of our deferred tax assets to allow for a more precise review process, and (3) enhanced monitoring of the review process. We believe this remediation plan will effectively remediate the material weakness, however, due to the inherent differences in the process of accounting for income taxes during an interim versus an annual period, the Company's process for remediating the material weakness will not be deemed complete until management has concluded, through testing, that such control is operating effectively in conjunction with the preparation of the Company’s tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The remediation efforts related to the material weakness are considered a change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 27, 2019 that has materially affected the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Except as stated above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 27, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During the nine months ended September 27, 2019, the Company withheld 392,115 shares that employees presented to the Company to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock unit and performance share unit awards.
(2)The Company is not currently participating in a share repurchase program.
As disclosed in Note 14, “Shareholders’ (Deficit) Equity” of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Series A Preferred Stock” in MD&A, the Company paid the July 1, 2019 dividend on its Series A Preferred Stock by issuing an additional 826 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. These shares were issued in reliance on the private placement exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(2) of such Act. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the option to convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock initially into approximately 81.18 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments in the conversion rate.

20762941.9


(2)JI shall have forty-five (45) calendar days following the delivery of the Final Statement to review the calculations, amounts and other items therein. During such forty-five (45) calendar day period, JI shall be entitled to review any working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Final Statement prepared by the Buyer, and the Buyer shall make available to JI, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, the Representatives of the Buyer to provide such assistance as may be reasonably requested by JI in connection with its review of the Final Statement. Within forty-five (45) calendar days after receipt of the Final Statement from the Buyer, JI shall deliver to the Buyer a written notice of dispute setting forth all objections to the Final Statement, any component thereof or calculation or amount therein, and the basis for all such objections. In the event that JI fails to deliver to the Buyer such a written notice of dispute within forty-five (45) calendar days after receipt of the Final Statement, then the Final Statement (including all components thereof and calculations and amounts therein) as delivered by the Buyer shall be final and binding on the parties hereunder.

The expenses and fees of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, as follows: (y) the Buyer’s share shall equal the product of the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the aggregate amount of the disputed items not determined in favor of the Buyer and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate amount of all disputed items, and (z) the balance shall be paid by the Sellers. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(3)In the event the Buyer fails to deliver to JI the Final Statement within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.4(a), above, at JI’s election, the amounts set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement shall either be deemed final for all purposes of this Agreement (absent manifest error) or JI may unilaterally engage the Independent Accounting Firm to determine the Final Closing Working Capital Amount, the Final U.S. Cash Amount, the Final Mexico Cash Amount, the Final Closing Indebtedness, the Final Closing Transaction Expenses and the Final Adjusted Purchase Price. When making such determinations, the Independent Accounting Firm shall use the Accounting Principles and the other applicable provisions and definitions of this Agreement.

Each party hereto shall be permitted to submit such data and information to the Independent Accounting Firm as such party deems appropriate.

v.Program Awards.
(1)During the period commencing on the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Sellers shall use, and shall cause the Target Companies to use, commercially reasonable efforts to cause, on or prior to October 31, 2019, each vehicle program set forth on Schedule 2.5(a) (each, a “Program”) to be awarded to the Target Companies and/or the Business. If the Closing occurs prior to the earlier of (i) the date upon which the last Program is awarded (whether to the Target Companies or otherwise), and (ii) October 31, 2019, then from and after Closing until October 31, 2019, Buyer shall use, and shall cause the Target Companies, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Program to be awarded to the Target Companies. For purposes of this Section 2.5(a), “commercially reasonable efforts” shall require the applicable party to (and to cause its Affiliates and the Target Companies and the Business to) take actions and make decisions relating to a Program that are in the ordinary course of business of the Business and intended in good faith to maximize the benefit to the Business regardless of the Final Adjusted Purchase Price, and are not primarily intended to increase or decrease the payments of Final Adjusted Purchase Price to be received by the Sellers hereunder. In addition to the foregoing, (y) prior to Closing and with respect to any Program, the Sellers shall not enter into, offer or otherwise agree to a price for such Program that reflects a reduction of more than five hundred (500) basis points from the C2 margins set forth opposite such Program on Schedule 2.5(a) without the prior written consent of the Buyer, and (z) after Closing and with respect to any Program, the Buyer and the Target Companies, if applicable pursuant to the second sentence above, shall not enter into, offer or otherwise agree to a price for such Program that reflects an increase of more than five hundred (500) basis points from the C2 margins set forth opposite such Program on Schedule 2.5(a) without the prior written consent of JI.
(2)If, prior to the earlier of the Closing and, if Closing has not occurred, October 31, 2019, (i) a Program is awarded to a Person other than the Target Companies or Motus (or an Affiliate thereof, excluding the Target Companies), (ii) a Program is awarded to the Target Companies but the Sellers have not complied with their obligations under Section 2.5(a), or (iii) a Program is not awarded on or prior to October 31, 2019, then, in each case, the Sellers’ Closing Payment shall be reduced by the amount set forth opposite such Program (or Programs) on Schedule 2.5(a) (the “Program Reduction Amount”).
8
20762941.9


(3)If, after the Closing, (i) a Program is awarded to a third party other than the Target Companies or Motus (or an Affiliate thereof, excluding the Target Companies), or (ii) a Program is not awarded on or prior to October 31, 2019, then, in each case, the Buyer and Sellers shall promptly within five (5) Business Days execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay to the Buyer from the Program Escrow Funds the Program Reduction Amount with respect to such Program. To the extent that, after the Closing and giving effect to the release of any Program Escrow Funds in the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate Program Escrow Funds exceed the sum of the aggregate Program Reduction Amounts for all Programs that then remain unawarded, Buyer and Sellers shall promptly within five (5) Business Days following such award, execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay to JI the amount of such excess from the Program Escrow Funds. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Program is awarded to a third party other than the Target Companies or Motus (of an Affiliate thereof, excluding the Target Companies) and the Buyer has not complied with its obligations under Section 2.5(a) with respect to such Program, then such Program shall be deemed to have been awarded to the Target Companies for purposes of this Section 2.5.
(4)Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.5 to the contrary, in no event shall the sum of all reductions made pursuant to Section 2.5(b) and the amounts released to the Buyer from Program Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 2.5(c) exceed Five Million Dollars (US$5,000,000).

The Claim Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the breach of warranty, representation, covenant or other matter claimed by the Claiming Party and, to the extent practicable, the Losses incurred by, or anticipated to be incurred by, the Claiming Party on account thereof.
31.Subject to Section 10.3(d), the following provisions shall apply to claims of the Claiming Party which are based upon a claim involving a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) (including any form of Proceeding filed or instituted by any Governmental Body, but excluding any Tax claim to the extent governed by Section 11.3):
62
20762941.9


v.The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by written notice to Claiming Party within sixty (60) calendar days from delivery of the Claim Notice and at its sole cost and expense, to defend such Third Party Claim in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Claiming Party, unless the Claiming Party reasonably concludes, based on advice of counsel, that such Third Party Claim (A) seeks non-monetary relief, (B) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (C) relates to any material on-going relationship with the Claiming Party’s employees, customers or suppliers, or other Persons having material business relationships with the Claiming Party, (D) the Indemnifying Party is failing to use reasonable efforts to diligently defend, (E) involves Losses that are reasonably expected to exceed the maximum amount for which such Indemnifying Party could be liable under this Article X, or (F) if Buyer is the Claiming Party, the insurer has exercised a right to defend the Third Party Claim under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, then the Claiming Party shall cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance (including access to employees) and materials as may be reasonably requested of the Claiming Party, and the Claiming Party shall have the right, at the Claiming Party’s expense, to participate in the defense. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third Party Claim only with the consent of the Claiming Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the following shall apply: (A) such settlement provides the Claiming Party with a full release from such Third Party Claim; and (B) the sole relief provided in such settlement is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. If the Claiming Party fails to consent to any settlement or compromise offer, then the Indemnifying Party may continue to contest such claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party for such claim will not exceed such settlement or compromise offer.
vi.In the event the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, then the Claiming Party shall have the right to conduct a defense against such Third Party Claim and shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.
32.To the extent that there is an inconsistency between this Section 10.3 and Section 11.3 as it relates to a Tax matter, the provisions of Section 11.3 shall govern.
33.The following procedures and limitations shall apply to the Mexico Concession Liability, the Janesville Acoustics Contract Issue, and the Janesville Acoustics Patent Assignment Issue (collectively, the “Special Procedure Items”):
vii.Sellers (and not the Buyer or the Target Companies, unless otherwise required by Legal Requirement) shall have the right to defend, settle and compromise all claims arising out of the Special Procedure Items, to discuss the Special Procedure Items with Governmental Bodies and third parties, and to resolve the Special Procedure Items; provided, that if a Janesville Acoustics Contract Issue relates to a material customer or vendor to the Business, Motus shall have the right to approve any resolution of such Janesville Acoustics Contract Issue, which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably.
viii.Sellers shall keep Buyer and the Target Companies reasonably informed regarding the status of the Special Procedure Items.
ix.Buyer shall (and shall cause the Target Companies to) provide reasonable cooperation to the Sellers (at the Sellers’ expense) with respect to the Special Procedure Items in an effort to mitigate any Losses relating to them.
