NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise specified)
Note 1.  Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. In particular, a number of estimates have been and will continue to be affected by the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of COVID-19, are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to COVID-19. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets and investment securities and incremental credit losses on receivables, among other issues.
Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Astec Industries, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
The Company's sales and profit results were impacted in the third quarter of September 30, 2020 due mainly to COVID-19. Determining the extent of variances and fluctuations from COVID-19 has been difficult because there have been no easily discernible trends or patterns to the Company's business. However, the Company expects that its results of operations in the fourth quarter of 2020 may reflect an increase in the severity of the impact of the effects of COVID-19, as well as negative impacts to subsequent periods. The Company continues to monitor the effects of COVID-19 on its reported sales and profit results and has taken steps to ensure employee and visitor safety, adequate liquidity and business continuity during this pandemic.
Certain reclassifications in amounts previously reported have been made to conform to current presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The standard changes how credit losses are measured for most financial assets and certain other instruments that currently are not measured through net income. The standard requires an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost as opposed to the current incurred loss approach. In valuing available for sale debt securities, allowances will be required to be recorded, rather than the current approach of reducing the carrying amount, for other than temporary impairments. A cumulative adjustment to retained earnings is to be recorded as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reflect the impact of applying the provisions of the standard. The standard is effective for public companies for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and the Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2020. As the Company’s credit losses are typically minimal, the adoption of this new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings was necessary.
7

INDEX
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which permitted companies to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as a result of U.S. tax reform impacting tax rates or other items, such as changing from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, from AOCI to retained earnings. Other tax effects stranded in AOCI due to other reasons, such as prior changes in tax laws or changes in valuation allowances, could not be reclassified. The new standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and the Company adopted its provisions as of January 1, 2019. As a result of adopting this new standard, the Company reclassified $0.7 million of previously stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings as shown on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of equity in the year ended December 31, 2019.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which aims to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing fair value measurement disclosures. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted in interim or annual periods if the Company has not yet issued financial statements. If the Company elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period, it should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period and must adopt all amendments in the same period applying all guidance prospectively, except for certain amendments. The Company has not determined the impact of the statement’s provision on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting (or the recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This was in response to stakeholders raising certain operational challenges likely to arise in accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting because of reference rate reform. Some of those challenges relate to the significant volume of contracts and other arrangements, such as debt agreements, lease agreements, and derivative instruments, which will be modified to replace references to discontinued rates with references to replacement rates. For accounting purposes, such contract modifications are required to be evaluated in determining whether the modifications result in the establishment of new contracts or the continuation of existing contracts. Stakeholders indicated that due to the significant volume of affected contracts and other arrangements, together with a compressed time frame for making contract modifications, the application of existing accounting standards on assessing modifications versus extinguishments could be costly and burdensome. In addition, stakeholders indicated that financial reporting results should reflect the intended continuation of such contracts and arrangements during the period of the market-wide transition to alternative reference rates. This new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company has yet to determine what effects, if any, this will have on their debt instrument.
Note 2.  Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share includes the potential dilutive effect of performance stock units, restricted stock units and shares held in the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

Trade receivables and contract assets are net of allowances for credit losses of $2.0 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Note 4.  Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:
(in thousands)September 30, 2020December 31, 2019
Raw materials and parts
$163,241 $160,872 
Work-in-process
56,437 61,287 
Finished goods
36,377 53,650 
Used equipment
5,426 18,727 
Total
$261,481 $294,536 
Raw materials and parts are comprised of purchased steel and other purchased items for use in the manufacturing process or held for sale for the after-market parts business. The category also includes the manufacturing cost of completed equipment sub-assemblies produced for either integration into equipment manufactured at a later date or for sale in the Company’s after-market parts business.
Work-in-process consists of the value of materials, labor and overhead incurred to date in the manufacturing of incomplete equipment or incomplete equipment sub-assemblies being produced.
Finished goods consist of completed equipment manufactured for sale to customers.
Used equipment consists of equipment accepted in trade or purchased on the open market. The category also includes equipment rented to prospective customers on a short-term or month-to-month basis. Used equipment is valued at the lower of acquired or trade-in cost or net realizable value determined on each separate unit. Each unit of rental equipment is valued at the lower of original manufacturing, acquired or trade-in cost or net realizable value.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value, which requires the Company to make specific estimates, assumptions and judgments in determining the amount, if any, of reductions in the valuation of inventories to their net realizable values. The net realizable values of the Company’s products are impacted by a number of factors, including changes in the price of steel, competitive sales pricing, quantities of inventories on hand, the age of the individual inventory items, market acceptance of the Company’s products, actions by our competitors, the condition of our used and rental inventory and general economic factors. Once an inventory item’s value has been deemed to be less than cost, a net realizable value adjustment is calculated and a new “cost basis” for that item is effectively established. This new cost is retained for that item until such time as the item is disposed of or the Company determines that an additional write-down is necessary. Additional write-downs may be required in the future based upon changes in assumptions due to general economic downturns in the markets in which the Company operates, changes in competitor pricing, new product design or other technological advances introduced by the Company or its competitors and other factors unique to individual inventory items.

INDEX
The most significant component of the Company’s inventory is steel. A significant decline in the market price of steel could result in a decline in the market value of the Company’s equipment or parts. During periods of significant declining steel prices, the Company reviews the valuation of its inventories to determine if reductions are needed in the recorded value of inventory on hand to its net realizable value.
The Company reviews the individual items included in its finished goods, used equipment and rental equipment inventory on a model-by-model or unit-by-unit basis to determine if any item’s net realizable value is below its carrying value. This analysis is expanded to include items in work-in-process and raw material inventory if factors indicate those items may also be impacted. In performing this review, judgments are made and, in addition to the factors discussed above, additional consideration is given to the age of the specific items of used or rental inventory, prior sales offers or lack thereof, the physical condition of the specific items and general market conditions for the specific items. Additionally, an analysis of raw material inventory is performed to calculate reserves needed for obsolete inventory based upon quantities of items on hand, the age of those items and their recent and expected future usage or sale.
When the Company determines that the value of inventory has become impaired through damage, deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, excessive levels of inventory or other causes, the Company reduces the carrying value to the net realizable value based on estimates, assumptions and judgments made from the information available at that time. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling cost and wasted materials are recognized as current period charges.
Note 5.  Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation of $269.7 million and $267.7 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Note 6.  Fair Value Measurements
The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including marketable debt and equity securities held by Astec Insurance Company (“Astec Insurance”), the Company’s captive insurance company; marketable equity securities held in an unqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”); and a money market fund held by a foreign subsidiary. The obligations of the Company associated with the financial assets held in the SERP also constitute a liability of the Company for financial reporting purposes and are included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s subsidiaries also occasionally enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and contract assets, other receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt and long-term debt approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature and/or interest rates associated with the instruments. Investments are carried at their fair value based on quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or, where no quoted prices exist, other observable inputs for the asset. The fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are based on quotations from various banks for similar instruments using models with market based inputs.
Financial assets and liabilities are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The inputs used to measure the fair value are identified in the following hierarchy:
Level 1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 -
Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
The Company reevaluates the volume of trading activity for each of its investments at the end of each quarter and adjusts the level within the fair value hierarchy as needed. As indicated in the tables below (which excludes the Company’s pension assets), the Company has determined that all of its financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as defined above:

The trading equity securities noted above are valued at their fair value based on their quoted market prices, and the trading debt securities are valued based upon a mix of observable market prices and model driven prices derived from a matrix of observable market prices for assets with similar characteristics obtained with the assistance of a nationally recognized third-party pricing service. Additionally, a significant portion of the SERP’s investments in trading equity securities are in money market and mutual funds. As these money market and mutual funds are held in a SERP, they are also included in the Company’s liability under its SERP.
Trading debt securities are comprised of marketable debt securities held by Astec Insurance. Astec Insurance has an investment strategy that focuses on providing regular and predictable interest income from a diversified portfolio of high-quality fixed income securities.
The Company has $85.1 million in a government money market fund at September 30, 2020, which is included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 7.  Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, as of October 31, or more frequently should circumstances change or events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. In the first quarter of 2020, as part of the Company’s ongoing assessment to consider whether events or circumstances had occurred that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020 over the mobile asphalt equipment reporting unit. Based on the results of this testing, the Company recorded a $1.6 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge (in the Infrastructure Solutions segment) to fully impair the mobile asphalt equipment reporting unit’s goodwill in the first quarter of 2020. This charge was included along with other restructuring and asset impairment charges in the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of income for nine months ended September 30, 2020. No impairment was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The only other change to goodwill from values reported as of December 31, 2019 was the goodwill acquired as part of the BMH Systems acquisition (see Note 8) and the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on certain goodwill in the Materials Solutions segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The carrying value of goodwill at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $36.4 million and $33.2 million, respectively.
Note 8. Acquisitions
CON-E-CO Acquisition - The Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2020, by and between Oshkosh Corporation for the purchase of the CON-E-CO concrete equipment company in Nebraska. The purchase price was $13.8 million, after adjustments, and was paid in cash. The Company's preliminary allocation of the purchase price resulted in the recognition of $3.9 million of intangible assets primarily consisting of customer relationships (8 year life) and trade name (15 year life). Significant inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair values of these intangible assets include management's forecasts of future revenues, earnings and cash flows, a discount rate based on the median weighted average cost of capital of the Company and select market competitors, and proportion of intangible assets acquired in relation to tangible assets. The acquisition provides the Company with a full-line concrete batch plant manufacturer, which will strengthen the Infrastructure Solutions segment. Results of operations have been consolidated from the date of acquisition.

Note 10.  Product Warranty Reserves
The Company warrants its products against manufacturing defects and performance to specified standards. The warranty period and performance standards vary by market and uses of its products, but generally range from three months to two years or up to a specified number of hours of operation. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability at the time product sales are recorded. The product warranty liability is primarily based on historical claim rates, nature of claims and the associated cost.
Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Note 11.  Accrued Loss Reserves
The Company records reserves for losses related to known workers’ compensation and general liability claims that have been incurred but not yet paid or are estimated to have been incurred but not yet reported to the Company. The undiscounted reserves are actuarially determined based on the Company’s evaluation of the type and severity of individual claims and historical information, primarily its own claims experience, along with assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the future. Total accrued loss reserves were $7.0 million and $6.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, of which $4.6 million and $4.5 million were included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Note 12.  Leases
The Company leases certain real estate, computer systems, material handling equipment, offices, automobiles and other equipment. The Company determines if a contract is a lease (or contains an embedded lease) at the inception of the agreement. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-2, Leases, on January 1, 2019 using the effective date method. Upon adoption, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets totaling $5.0 million were recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Incremental borrowing rates used in the calculation of the ROU asset, when not apparent in the lease agreements, were estimated based upon secured borrowing rates quoted by the Company’s banks for loans of various lengths ranging from one year to 20 years. Operating leases with original maturities less than one year in duration were excluded. The calculation of the ROU asset considered lease agreement provisions concerning termination, extensions, end of lease purchase and whether or not those provisions were reasonably certain of being exercised. Certain agreements contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. No cumulative effect adjustment was necessary at the time of adoption. Based upon a contract review and related calculations, none of the Company’s leases were deemed to be financing leases.

Note 13.  Income Taxes
The Company's combined effective income tax rates were (279.1)% and 17.6% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company's combined effective tax rates were (16.8)% and 22.0% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for September 30, 2020 includes the effect of state income taxes, a benefit for federal and state research and development credits, a net benefit for international provisions of U.S. tax reform that became effective in 2018, and various discrete items with the largest being a benefit for the NOL carryback noted below.
The Company's recorded liability for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2020 has increased by approximately $1.5 million as compared to December 31, 2019 due to exposure related to federal and state credits, plus additional taxes and interest on existing reserves.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into law. Certain provisions of the CARES Act impact the 2020 income tax provision computations of the Company and are reflected in the period ended September 30, 2020. The CARES Act contains modifications to Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryback provisions, which will allow the Company to carryback its 2018 NOL recorded at a 21% statutory tax rate to prior tax years. This carryback to tax years with a higher statutory rate (35)% results in a net discrete tax benefit of $9.5 million for the 2020 year-to-date period.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a research and development credit benefit (net of reserve) of $1.4 million upon the filing of its 2019 US Consolidated Corporate Income Tax Return. This amount is in excess of the expected net benefit recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Revenue is generally recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and generally occurs with the transfer of control of the product or services at a point in time. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of products at a specified price with specific delivery terms. A significant portion of the Company’s equipment sales represents equipment produced in the Company’s manufacturing facilities under short-term contracts for a customer’s project or equipment designed to meet a customer’s requirements. Most of the equipment sold by the Company is based on standard configurations, some of which are modified to meet customer’s needs or specifications. The Company provides customers with technical design and performance specifications and typically performs pre-shipment testing, when feasible, to ensure the equipment performs according to the customer’s need, regardless of whether the Company provides installation services in addition to selling the equipment. Significant down payments are required on many equipment orders with other terms allowing for payment shortly after shipment, typically 30 days. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, such as sales, use, value-added and some excise taxes, are excluded from revenue. Expected warranty costs for our standard warranties are expensed at the time the related revenue is recognized. Costs of obtaining sales contracts with an expected duration of one year or less are expensed as incurred. As contracts are typically fulfilled within one year from the date of the contract, revenue adjustments for a potential financing component or the costs to obtain the contract are not made. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had contract assets of $1.3 million and contract liabilities of $7.1 million, including $3.7 million of deferred revenue related to extended warranties. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had contract assets of $4.7 million, primarily related to billings on one large ($7.2 million) order in the Infrastructure Solutions segment, and contract liabilities of $6.5 million, including $3.5 million of deferred revenue related to extended warranties.
Depending on the terms of the arrangement with the customer, recognition of a portion of the consideration received may be deferred and recorded as a contract liability if we have to satisfy a future obligation, such as to provide installation assistance, service work to be performed in the future without charge, floor plan interest to be reimbursed to our dealer customers, payments for extended warranties, for annual rebates given to certain high volume customers or for obligations for future estimated returns to be allowed based upon historical trends.
Certain contracts include terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company recognizes revenues upon the completion of production, and the equipment is subsequently stored at the Company’s plant at the customer’s request. Revenue is recorded on such contracts upon the customer’s assumption of title and risk of ownership, which transfers control of the equipment, and when collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, there must be a fixed schedule of delivery of the goods consistent with the customer’s business practices, the Company must not have retained any specific performance obligations such that the earnings process is not complete and the goods must have been segregated from the Company’s inventory prior to revenue recognition.

INDEX
Service and Equipment Installation Revenue – Purchasers of certain of the Company’s equipment often contract with the Company to provide installation services. Installation is typically separately priced in the contract based upon observable market prices for stand-alone performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. The Company may also provide future services on equipment sold at the customer’s request, which may be for equipment repairs after the warranty period expires. Service is billed on a cost plus margin approach or at a standard rate per hour.
Used Equipment Sales – Used equipment is obtained by trade-in on new equipment sales, as a separate purchase in the open market or from the Company’s equipment rental business. Revenues from the sale of used equipment are recognized upon transfer of control to the customer at agreed upon pricing.
Freight Revenue – Under a practical expedient allowed under ASU No. 2014-9, the Company records revenues earned for shipping and handling as revenue at the time of shipment, regardless of whether or not it is identified as a separate performance obligation. The cost of shipping and handling is classified as cost of goods sold concurrently.
Other Revenues – Miscellaneous revenues and offsets not associated with one of the above classifications primarily include rental revenues, extended warranty revenues, early pay discounts and floor plan interest reimbursements.
The Company currently monitors credit levels and financial conditions of customers on a continuing basis. After considering historical trends for uncollectible accounts, current economic conditions and specific customer recent payment history and financial stability, each business unit records an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover all probable future credit losses as of the balance sheet date. The current policy for calculating the reserve uses the rolling twelve-month bad debt write-offs, net of recoveries, divided by the rolling twelve-month average accounts receivable balance. The Company believes the twelve-month “look-back” is most representative of current credit worthiness of the customer. After adjustments for credit balances, that percentage is then applied to the current month end accounts receivable balance to arrive at the amount to reserve. Once the reserve is calculated, each business unit reviews their accounts receivable for any known customer accounts that should be added to the reserve based on their expectation of future economic conditions that might impact the customer, which would currently include the impact of COVID-19. At a minimum, the reserve balance should equal the calculated amount before specifically reserved items and other credit loss adjustments. Thus, each business unit records their accounts receivable at an amount expected to be collected and, therefore, incorporates expected credit losses.
Amounts are deemed past due when they exceed the payment terms agreed to by the customer in the sales contract. Past due amounts are charged off when reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and the amounts are deemed uncollectible by management. The majority of the Company’s receivables within the scope of this topic are related to equipment that requires significant down payment with other terms allowing for payment shortly after shipment, typically 30 days, which the Company believes is very short term in nature. The significant down payment requirement leads to lower write-offs because it requires an upfront commitment by customers and they ultimately don’t want to lose their upfront investment. The 30-day payment requirement after shipment allows us to quickly assess where a customer stands on their account and lets us begin collection efforts.

Note 15.  Segment Information
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company completed an internal reorganization of its reportable segments from three to two reportable segments (plus Corporate) and such segments are organized, operated and managed based on the products and services offered by the business units included in each segment. Amounts previously reported under the previous segment structure have been restated to conform to the new segment structure.
A brief description of each of the Company’s segments is as follows:
Infrastructure Solutions - The Infrastructure Solutions segment is comprised of 15 business units. These business units include Astec, Inc. (“CHA-Jerome Ave”), Roadtec, Inc. (“CHA-Manufacturers Rd”), BMH Systems ("St. Bruno"), CON-E-CO ("Blair"), Carlson Paving Products, Inc. (“Tacoma”), Heatec, Inc. (“CHA-Wilson Rd”), CEI Enterprises, Inc. (“Albuquerque”), GEFCO, Inc. ("Enid"), Peterson Pacific Corp. (“EUG-Airport Rd”), Power Flame Incorporated (“Parsons”), RexCon, Inc. (“Burlington”), Astec Mobile Machinery GmbH (“AMM”), Astec Australia Pty Ltd (“Australia”), Astec LatAm (“LatAm”), and Astec Thailand (“Thailand”). Products designed, engineered, manufactured and marketed by this segment include a complete line of asphalt plants and their related components, asphalt pavers, screeds, milling machines, material transfer vehicles, stabilizers and related ancillary equipment, concrete plants, water well drilling rigs, wood chippers, wood grinders, heaters, commercial burners and industrial burners. The principal purchasers of the segment’s products are asphalt producers, highway and heavy equipment contractors, foreign and domestic governmental agencies, processors of oil, gas and biomass for energy production, ready mix concrete producers and contractors in the construction and demolition recycling markets.
In 2018, the Company decided to close and cease operations at AMM, located in Germany, and its land and buildings were sold in January 2020. In late 2019, the Company announced the closing of its Albuquerque site due to market conditions and underutilization of the manufacturing facility. Responsibilities for manufacturing and marketing of Albuquerque product lines were transferred to other Company facilities within the Infrastructure Solutions segment in late 2019 and early 2020. The Albuquerque site was closed as of March 31, 2020 and its land and buildings were sold in the third quarter of 2020. In late 2019, the Company impaired and discontinued Enid’s oil and gas product lines and sold the remaining assets in the third quarter of 2020. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company sold the remaining assets related to Enid's remaining water well line of business (see Note 21 for more information). The Company is also currently marketing its Enid production facilities.
Materials Solutions – The Materials Solutions segment is comprised of 10 business units which are focused on designing and manufacturing heavy processing equipment, as well as servicing and supplying parts for the aggregate, metallic mining, recycling, ports and bulk handling markets. These business units are Telsmith, Inc. (“Mequon”), Kolberg-Pioneer, Inc. (“Yankton”), Astec Mobile Screens, Inc. (“Sterling”), Johnson Crushers International, Inc. (“EUG-Franklin Blvd”), Breaker Technology Ltd/Breaker Technology, Inc. (“Thornbury”), Osborn Engineered Products, SA (Pty) Ltd (“Johannesburg”), Astec do Brasil Fabricacao de Equipamentos Ltda. (“Belo Horizonte”), Telestack Limited (“Omagh”), Astec India (“India”) and Astec AME (“AME”). The principal purchasers of products produced by this segment are distributors, open mine operators, quarry operators, port and inland terminal operators, highway and heavy equipment contractors and foreign and domestic governmental agencies. The Company is currently in the process of closing its Mequon site and relocating those operations to other business units.
Corporate - This category consists of business units that do not meet the requirements for separate disclosure as an operating segment or inclusion in one of the other reporting segments and includes the Company’s parent company and Astec Insurance Company (“Astec Insurance”), a captive insurance company. Certain start-up costs related to foreign sales offices are also included in Corporate’s operating results. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its operating segments based on profit or loss from operations before U.S. federal income taxes, state deferred taxes and corporate overhead and, thus, these costs are included in the Corporate category.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are valued at prices comparable to those for unrelated parties.

Note 16.  Contingent Matters
Certain customers have financed purchases of Company products through arrangements in which the Company is contingently liable for customer debt of $3.5 million and $1.5 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These arrangements expire at various dates through December 2023 and provide that the Company will receive the lender's full security interest in the equipment financed if the Company is required to fulfill its contingent liability under these arrangements.

INDEX
Additionally, the Company is also potentially liable for 1.75% of the unpaid balance, determined as of December 31 of the prior year, on certain past customer equipment purchases that were financed by an outside finance company (the maximum exposure for the Company in 2020 is $0.6 million). The Company has recorded a liability of $1.3 million related to these guarantees as of September 30, 2020.

The Company reviews off balance sheet guarantees individually, and at the loss pool level based on one agreement. Prior history is considered in regard to the Company having to perform on any off balance sheet guarantees, as well as future projections of individual customer credit worthiness. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company considered the implications of COVID-19 in regard to assessing credit losses related to off balance sheet guarantees.
In addition, the Company is contingently liable under letters of credit issued by a domestic lender totaling $8.6 million as of September 30, 2020, including $3.2 million of letters of credit guaranteeing certain Astec Brazil bank debt. The outstanding letters of credit expire at various dates through June 2023. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are contingently liable for a total of $2.4 million in performance letters of credit, advance payments and retention guarantees. The maximum potential amount of future payments under all global letters of credit and guarantees for which the Company could be liable is $11.0 million as of September 30, 2020.
The Company and certain of its former executive officers have been named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit filed on February 1, 2019, as amended on August 26, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The action is styled City of Taylor General Employees Retirement System v. Astec Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-00024-TRM-CHS. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and misleading statements and that the individual defendants are control person under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint was filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s stock between July 26, 2016 and October 22, 2018 and seeks monetary damages on behalf of the purported class. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously and has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on October 25, 2019 which is pending. The Company has accrued a $0.6 million liability as of September 30, 2020.
The Company's GEFCO subsidiary has been named a defendant in a lawsuit originally filed on August 16, 2018 with an amended complaint filed on January 25, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. The action is styled VenVer S.A. and Americas Coil Tubing LLP v. GEFCO, Inc., Case No. CIV-18-790-SLP. The complaint alleges breaches of warranty and other similar claims regarding equipment sold by GEFCO in 2013. In addition to seeking a rescission of the purchase contract, the plaintiffs seek special and consequential damages. The purchase contract contains an exclusion of consequential damages. The original purchase price of the equipment was approximately $8.5 million. GEFCO disputes the plaintiffs' allegations and is vigorously defending the lawsuit. On July 7, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a separate lawsuit directly against Astec Industries, Inc. Besides a new claim based on fraudulent transfer, the allegations essentially mirror the GEFCO suit. Astec Industries, Inc. is vigorously defending that suit as well. The matter is set for mediation on November 17, 2020. The Company is unable to determine whether or not a future loss will be incurred due to this litigation or estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.
The Company is currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss (excluding estimated legal fees) or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point within the range is more probable than another. As management becomes aware of additional information concerning such contingencies, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is either (i) probable but cannot be reasonably estimated or (ii) reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record the amount of the loss, but does make specific disclosure of such matter. Based upon currently available information and with the advice of counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome of its current claims and legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and rulings unfavorable to the Company could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Note 17.  Share-Based Compensation
Under the Company’s long-term incentive plans, key members of management may be issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) each year based upon the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. The number of RSUs granted to employees each year is determined based upon the performance of individual subsidiaries and consolidated financial performance. Generally, for RSUs granted through 2016, each award will vest at the end of five years from the date of grant, or at the time a recipient retires after reaching age 65, if earlier. Awards granted in 2017 and 2018 will vest at the end of three years from the date of grant or at the time a recipient retires after reaching age 65, if earlier. Awards granted in 2019 and thereafter will vest ratably, at the end of each year from the date of grant, over a three-year period. Awards granted through February 2020 were granted based upon past performance and were typically granted each year, shortly after the end of the year. Beginning in March 2020, the incentive plan was modified to award a combination of RSUs and Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) which are granted in March each year based upon performance targets for the next three years, as approved by the Company’s board of directors. 50% percent of the awards granted are time based vesting RSUs and the other 50% percent are performance based awards granted at the plan’s targeted performance. The actual number of PSUs ultimately vesting can vary from zero to 200% of target, based upon the Company performance. Additional RSUs are granted to the Company’s outside directors under the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan with a one-year vesting period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the grant date fair value of the RSUs granted based upon past performance was $2.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the grant date fair value of the PSUs granted based upon targeted future performance and RSUs granted to our non-employee directors was $3.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
The total stock-based compensation expense was $1.6 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $0.2 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Note 19.  Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is foreign currency risk. From time to time, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is recorded on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and is adjusted to fair value at each measurement date. The changes in fair value are recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income in the current period. The Company does not engage in speculative transactions nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was $8.6 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The Company reported $0.4 million of derivative liabilities in other current liabilities at September 30, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the Company reported $4 thousand of derivative assets in other current assets and $49 thousand of derivative liabilities in other current liabilities.
The Company recognized, as a component of cost of sales, a net loss of $0.4 million and a net gain of $0.4 million on the changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recognized, as a component of cost of sales, net gain of $0.7 million and net gain of $0.4 million on the changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no derivatives that were designated as hedges at September 30, 2020.
Note 20. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

The $0.9 million of restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2019 are comprised of $0.4 million of costs related to the closing of AMM and $0.5 million of costs related to the exiting of the wood pellet plant line of business (primarily employee severance pay). The $1.4 million of restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are comprised of $0.9 million of costs related to the closing of AMM and $0.5 million of costs related to the exiting of the wood pellet plant line of business (primarily employee severance pay).

Restructuring charges accrued, but not paid, were not significant as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

In August 2020, the Company entered into a real estate sales agreement for the sale of the land and building at its Mequon site. The sale is expected to close in December 2020.
Note 21. Subsequent Event
On October 5, 2020, the Company closed a transaction with BAUER Equipment America, Inc. This transaction was for the sale of water well assets of the Company's Enid business unit, which included equipment, inventories and intangible assets. The purchase price for this transaction was approximately $7.5 million. No gain or loss occurred upon consummation.
On November 2, 2020, the Company closed a transaction pursuant to which it purchased certain assets of Grathwol Automation, LLC ("Grathwol"). Grathwol is engaged in the business of developing and providing advanced telematics and remote diagnostics for construction equipment and related products and services. The Company has not yet completed their business combination purchase price analysis. The Company expects goodwill, if any, to be nondeductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations will be included from the date of acquisition.

INDEX
Amounts previously reported under the previous segment structure have been restated to conform to the new segment structure. Additionally, in both internal and external communications, the Company is transitioning references to each individual business unit by a name associated with its location, as compared to previous references to the subsidiary company names. A brief description of each segment is as follows:
Infrastructure Solutions - The Infrastructure Solutions segment is comprised of 15 business units. These business units include Astec, Inc. (“CHA-Jerome Ave”), Roadtec, Inc. (“CHA-Manufacturers Rd”), BMH Systems ("St. Bruno"), CON-E-CO ("Blair"), Carlson Paving Products, Inc. (“Tacoma”), Heatec, Inc. (“CHA-Wilson Rd”), CEI Enterprises, Inc. (“Albuquerque”), GEFCO, Inc. ("Enid"), Peterson Pacific Corp. (“EUG-Airport Rd”), Power Flame Incorporated (“Parsons”), RexCon, Inc. (“Burlington”), Astec Mobile Machinery GmbH (“AMM”), Astec Australia Pty Ltd (“Australia”), Astec LatAm (“LatAm"), and Astec Thailand (“Thailand”). Products designed, engineered, manufactured and marketed by this segment include a complete line of asphalt plants and their related components, asphalt pavers, screeds, milling machines, material transfer vehicles, stabilizers and related ancillary equipment, concrete plants, water well drilling rigs, wood chippers, wood grinders, heaters, commercial burners and industrial burners. The principal purchasers of the segment’s products are asphalt producers, highway and heavy equipment contractors, foreign and domestic governmental agencies, processors of oil, gas and biomass for energy production, ready mix concrete producers and contractors in the construction and demolition recycling markets.
In 2018, the Company decided to close and cease operations at AMM, located in Germany, and its land and buildings were sold in January 2020. In late 2019, the Company announced the closing of its Albuquerque site due to market conditions and underutilization of the manufacturing facility. Responsibilities for manufacturing and marketing of Albuquerque product lines were transferred to other Company facilities within the Infrastructure Solutions segment in late 2019 and early 2020. The Albuquerque site was closed as of March 31, 2020 and its land and buildings were sold in the third quarter of 2020. In late 2019, the Company impaired and discontinued Enid’s oil and gas product lines and sold the remaining assets in the third quarter of 2020. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company sold the remaining assets related to Enid's remaining water well line of business. The Company is also currently marketing its Enid production facilities.
Materials Solutions – The Materials Solutions segment is comprised of 10 business units which are focused on designing and manufacturing heavy processing equipment, as well as servicing and supplying parts for the aggregate, metallic mining, recycling, ports and bulk handling markets. These business units are Telsmith, Inc. (“Mequon”), Kolberg-Pioneer, Inc. (“Yankton”), Astec Mobile Screens, Inc. (“Sterling”), Johnson Crushers International, Inc. (“EUG-Franklin Blvd”), Breaker Technology Ltd/Breaker Technology, Inc. (“Thornbury”), Osborn Engineered Products, SA (Pty) Ltd (“Johannesburg”), Astec do Brasil Fabricacao de Equipamentos Ltda. (“Belo Horizonte”), Telestack Limited (“Omagh”), Astec India (“India”) and Astec AME (“AME”). The principal purchasers of products produced by this segment are distributors, open mine operators, quarry operators, port and inland terminal operators, highway and heavy equipment contractors and foreign and domestic governmental agencies. The Company is currently in the process of closing its Mequon site and relocating those operations to other business units.
Corporate - This category consists of business units that do not meet the requirements for separate disclosure as an operating segment or inclusion in one of the other reporting segments and includes the Company’s parent company and Astec Insurance Company (“Astec Insurance”), a captive insurance company. Certain start-up costs related to foreign sales offices are also included in Corporate’s operating results. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its operating segments based on profit or loss from operations before U.S. federal income taxes, state deferred taxes and corporate overhead and, thus, these costs are included in the Corporate category.
The Company’s financial performance is affected by a number of factors, including the cyclical nature and varying conditions of the markets it serves. Demand in these markets fluctuates in response to overall economic conditions and is particularly sensitive to the amount of public sector spending on infrastructure development, privately funded infrastructure development, changes in the prices of liquid asphalt, oil and natural gas and steel.
Federal funding provides a significant portion of all highway, street, roadway and parking construction in the United States. The Company believes that federal highway funding influences the purchasing decisions of the Company’s customers, who are typically more comfortable making capital equipment purchases with long-term federal legislation in place.
Federal transportation funding operated on short-term appropriations until December 4, 2015 when the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (“FAST Act”) was signed into law. The $305 billion FAST Act approved funding for highways of approximately $205 billion and transit projects of approximately $48 billion for the five-year period ending September 30, 2020. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the FAST Act was extended for twelve months and added an additional $13.6 billion to the Highway Trust Fund.
27

INDEX
The Company believes a multi-year highway program (such as the FAST Act) will have the greatest positive impact on the road construction industry and allows its customers to plan and execute longer-term projects. Given the inherent uncertainty in the political process, the level of governmental funding for federal highway projects will similarly continue to be uncertain. Since elected in late 2016, the current executive branch of the federal government has stressed that one of its priorities is a new infrastructure bill including increased funding for roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, railroads, ports and waterways, pipelines, clean water infrastructure, energy infrastructure and telecommunication needs. Governmental funding that is committed or earmarked for federal highway projects is always subject to repeal or reduction. Although continued funding under the FAST Act or funding of a bill passed by the new administration is expected, it may be at lower levels than originally approved or anticipated. In addition, Congress could pass legislation in future sessions that would allow for diversion of previously appropriated highway funds for other purposes, or it could restrict funding of infrastructure projects unless states comply with certain federal policies. The level of future federal highway construction is uncertain and any future funding may be at levels lower than those currently approved or that have been approved in the past.
The public sector spending described above is needed to fund road, bridge and mass transit improvements. The Company believes that increased funding is unquestionably needed to restore the nation’s highways to a quality level required for safety, fuel efficiency and mitigation of congestion. In the Company’s opinion, amounts needed for such improvements are significantly greater than amounts approved to date, and funding mechanisms such as the federal usage fee per gallon of gasoline, which is still at the 1993 level of 18.4 cents per gallon, would likely need to be increased along with other measures to generate the funds needed.
In addition to public sector funding, the economies in the markets the Company serves, the price of liquid asphalt, the price of oil and natural gas, and the price of steel may each affect the Company’s financial performance. Economic downturns generally result in decreased purchasing by the Company’s customers, which, in turn, causes reductions in sales and increased pricing pressure on the Company’s products. Rising interest rates also typically negatively impact customers’ attitudes toward purchasing equipment. The Federal Reserve has maintained historically low interest rates in response to the economic downturn which began in 2009 with several rate adjustments (both up and down) in recent years. The current Federal Funds Rate is considered in the historically low range and future rate changes may occur.
Significant portions of the Company’s revenues from the Infrastructure Solutions segment relate to the sale of equipment involved in the production, handling, recycling or application of asphalt mix. Liquid asphalt is a by-product of oil refining. An increase or decrease in the price of oil impacts the cost of asphalt, which is likely to alter demand for asphalt and, therefore, affects demand for certain Company products. While increasing oil prices may have a negative financial impact on many of the Company’s customers, the Company’s equipment can use a significant amount of recycled asphalt pavement, thereby partially mitigating the effect of increased oil prices on the final cost of asphalt for the customer. The Company continues to develop products and initiatives to reduce the amount of oil and related products required to produce asphalt. Oil price volatility makes it difficult to predict the costs of oil-based products used in road construction such as liquid asphalt and gasoline. While current oil prices are at recent record lows, oil prices have routinely fluctuated in recent years and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. Minor fluctuations in oil prices should not have a significant impact on customers’ buying decisions. Other factors such as political uncertainty in oil producing countries, interruptions in oil production due to disasters, whether natural or man-made, or other economic factors could significantly impact oil prices, which could negatively impact demand for the Company’s products. The Company believes the continued funding of the FAST Act federal highway bill passed in December 2015, together with the prospect of potential replacement funding, have a greater potential to impact the buying decisions of the Company’s customers than does the fluctuation of oil prices in 2020 and 2021.
Contrary to the impact of oil prices on many of the asphalt related Infrastructure Solutions segment products as discussed above, other products manufactured by the Company, which are used in heaters for refineries and oil sands, would benefit from higher oil and natural gas prices, to the extent that such higher prices lead to increased development in the oil and natural gas production industries. The Company believes further development of domestic oil and natural gas production capabilities is needed and would positively impact demand for the Company’s oil and gas related products.
Steel is a major component in the Company’s equipment. COVID-19, election speculation and consumer confidence all impacted a lower demand for steel during the third quarter of 2020. Mills responded by adjusting their production capacity to meet lower demand. Steel outlook is expected to trend upward during the fourth quarter of 2020 as market supply is limited to maintain higher price levels. The Company will continue to utilize forward looking contracts when it deems conditions are appropriate (with no minimum or specified quantity guarantees) to minimize the impact of any price increases. We will continue to monitor trends in steel prices throughout the remainder of the year and into 2021 and establish future contract pricing accordingly.

INDEX
In addition to the factors stated above, many of the Company’s markets are highly competitive, and its products compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and dealers that produce and sell similar products. The continued strengthened U.S. dollar since mid-2012, including significant strengthening in 2020, has negatively impacted pricing in certain foreign markets the Company serves. The Company expects the U.S. dollar to remain strong in the near term relative to most foreign currencies. Domestic interest rates rising in the future or weakening economic conditions abroad could cause the U.S. dollar to further strengthen, which could negatively impact the Company’s international sales.
In the United States and internationally, the Company’s equipment is marketed directly to customers as well as through dealers. During 2019, approximately 60% of the Company’s sales were to the end user. The Company expects this ratio to be between 60% and 70% for 2020.
As mentioned above, the Company has recently transitioned from a decentralized management structure to a matrix organizational management structure with major directives and decisions being made at the segment and/or parent company level. Subsidiary president positions, with responsibility for the performance of all aspects of their local company, have been eliminated. Performance is now evaluated at the consolidated and separate segment levels. Performance of individual subsidiaries/sites is the responsibility of segment senior managers and segment functional team leaders under their direction. Senior finance, insurance, legal, shareholder relations, corporate accounting and other corporate matters are primarily managed at the Corporate level (i.e., Astec Industries, Inc., the parent company). Standard accounting procedures are prescribed and followed in all reporting.
The Company’s current profit sharing plans allow corporate officers and other key management participants the opportunity to earn profit sharing incentives based upon the Company’s and/or the individual segment’s working capital turnover, adjusted EBITDA margin and safety. Executive and senior leadership team members, when calculated at targeted performance, can earn between 15% and 100% of their base salary, depending upon their responsibilities, and the plans allow for awards of up to double the target incentive compensation for executive team members. Other salaried employees have the ability to earn profit sharing incentives of up to 5% of their annual salary and non-union hourly employees can earn between $0 and $750 each.
The Company’s current long-term incentive plans allow Corporate officers and other key management participants to be awarded a 50/50 combination of service awards, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), and performance awards, Performance Stock Units (“PSU”). Service awards are granted at target performance and vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. Performance awards are granted at target performance, and are earned based upon the achievement of two equally rated performance metrics (return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and total shareholder return (“TSR”)). Total awards range from 20% to 150% of participants’ annual salaries at target and participants may earn up to 200% of their PSU award.
During 2018 through mid-2019, the Company retained the services of a specialized consulting firm to assist with the accumulation of company-wide purchasing data including a system for maintaining the data for management to utilize in negotiations with suppliers or potential suppliers in order to obtain reduced prices on raw materials and equipment components purchased. The Company expects the results of these efforts to positively impact its gross margins for the remainder of 2020 and thereafter.

Results of Operations
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 outbreak has caused significant disruptions to national and global economies. Our U.S. based businesses are designated as “Critical Manufacturing” infrastructure companies by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and, as such, have remained open. Two of our foreign operations in the Materials Solutions segment, located in Northern Ireland and South Africa, as dictated by their local governments, temporarily ceased manufacturing activities in late March 2020. The South Africa site reopened on May 4, 2020 and the Northern Ireland facility reopened on May 11, 2020. The Company's top priority is to protect its employees and their families, its customers and suppliers and its operations from any adverse impacts by taking precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and local governments. In early March 2020, the Company formed a COVID-19 task force, which continually monitors information from government agencies, our sites, customers, suppliers and other sources. The Company has enacted several policies to combat the spread of the virus and keep our employees and visitors safe, including work at home initiatives, limits on employee travel, visitors policies, cleaning and disinfecting procedures and mandated temperature checks for visitors and employees. We are utilizing technology to hold meetings virtually as business permits. During the third quarter of 2020, the impact on our sales and financial results was largely driven by COVID-19 uncertainties. No significant additional costs to our business were identified in the third quarter of 2020. However, we expect an increase in the impact from COVID-19 to our business in the fourth quarter and possibly thereafter. While we expect this situation to be temporary, any longer-term impact to our business is currently unknown due to the uncertainty around the outbreak’s duration and its broader impact. As part of our strategic planning, management has prepared several fluid business models including specific actions to take in the future, depending on the magnitude of the virus on our business levels. The Company’s strong September 30, 2020 consolidated balance sheet, including $108.5 million of cash on hand, no borrowings under its domestic $150.0 million bank line of credit, only $0.9 million of debt outstanding on its foreign banking arrangements and $25.7 million of cash received (included in cash on hand) from the U.S. tax refund request filed due to changes in net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback rules under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, will aid the Company in withstanding possible future negative impacts of COVID-19. As discussed elsewhere in this report, as part of the Company’s management transition from a decentralized management model to a matrix organizational management structure, the Company has taken numerous steps to increase the efficiency in its operations. While COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the Company’s third quarter 2020 operations, management has prepared several scenarios of possible future impacts and related costs and cash savings action steps to take as the circumstances dictate. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for additional information concerning the Company’s liquidity.

INDEX
Net Sales
Net sales for the third quarter of 2020 were $231.4 million compared to $255.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $24.4 million or 9.5%. Sales are generated primarily from new equipment and parts sales to domestic and international customers. Sales decreased in both the Infrastructure Solutions and Materials Solutions segments. The decrease of sales in the Infrastructure Solutions segment was driven by COVID-19 delays. The decrease of sales in the Materials Solutions segment was driven by uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, as well as lower sales related to its crushing and screening projects. Domestic sales for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019 declined by 4.5%. International sales in the third quarter of 2020 decreased 24.1% as compared to the third quarter of 2019, driven by COVID-19 related business disruptions, as well as the impact from the strong U.S. dollar causing the Company's products that are produced in the United States to be more expensive abroad. Sales reported by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in U.S. dollars for the third quarter of 2020 would have been $2.6 million higher had third quarter 2020 foreign exchange rates been the same as third quarter 2019 rates.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2020 were $785.6 million compared to $886.4 million for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $100.8 million or 11.4%. Sales are generated primarily from new equipment and parts sales to domestic and international customers. Sales decreased in both the Infrastructure Solutions and Materials Solutions segments. The decrease in sales for the Infrastructure Solutions segment was mostly driven by the non-recurring Georgia Pellet Plant sale in the second quarter of 2019 for $20.0 million, as well as a market decline driven by COVID-19. The decrease in sales for the Materials Solutions segment was driven by COVID-19 plant shutdowns, as well as lower sales related to its crushing and screening projects. Domestic sales for the first nine months of 2020 as compared to the first nine months of 2019 declined by 8.9%. International sales in the first nine months of 2020 decreased 20.6% as compared to the first nine months of 2019, driven by COVID-19 related business disruptions, as well as the impact from the strong U.S. dollar causing Company products produced in the United States to be more expensive. Sales reported by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in U.S. dollars for the first nine months of 2020 would have been $8.1 million higher had first nine months of 2020 foreign exchange rates been the same as first nine months of 2019 rates.
Domestic sales for the third quarter of 2020 were $181.3 million or 78.3% of consolidated net sales compared to $189.8 million or 74.2% of consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $8.5 million or 4.5%. Domestic sales for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019 decreased by $5.5 million in the Infrastructure Solutions segment and $3.0 million in the Materials Solutions segment.
Domestic sales for the first nine months of 2020 were $636.7 million or 81.1% of consolidated net sales compared to $698.8 million or 78.8% of consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $62.1 million or 8.9%. Domestic sales for the first nine months of 2020 as compared to the first nine months of 2019 decreased by $38.2 million in the Infrastructure Solutions segment and $23.9 million in the Materials Solutions segment.
International sales for the third quarter of 2020 were $50.1 million or 21.7% of consolidated net sales compared to $66.0 million or 25.8% of consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $15.9 million or 24.1%. International sales for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019 increased $0.4 million in the Infrastructure Solutions segment and decreased $16.4 million in the Materials Solutions segment. Decreases in international sales in Canada, Australia, Africa, Europe, Central America, Asia and the West Indies were partially offset by increases in sales in South America, Brazil, Japan & Korea, India and the Middle East.
International sales for the first nine months of 2020 were $148.9 million or 18.9% of consolidated net sales compared to $187.6 million or 21.2% of consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $38.7 million or 20.6%. International sales for the first nine months of 2020 as compared to the first nine months of 2019 increased $0.4 million in the Infrastructure Solutions segment and decreased $39.1 million in the Materials Solutions segment. Decreases in international sales in Canada, Australia, Africa, Europe, China, Mexico, Russia, India, Central America and Asia were partially offset by increases in sales in South America, Japan & Korea, the West Indies and the Middle East.
Parts sales for the third quarter of 2020 were $74.1 million compared to $73.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $1.1 million or 1.5%. Parts sales as a percentage of net sales increased 340 basis points to 32.0% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 28.6% in the third quarter of 2019. Parts sales for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019 increased $6.1 million in the Infrastructure Solutions segment and decreased $5.0 million in the Materials Solutions segment.

INDEX
Parts sales for the first nine months of 2020 were $229.2 million compared to $239.7 million for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $10.5 million or 4.4%. Parts sales as a percentage of net sales increased 220 basis points to 29.2% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 27.0% in the first nine months of 2019. Parts sales for the first nine months of 2020 as compared to the first nine months of 2019 increased $1.9 million in the Infrastructure Solutions segment and $12.4 million in the Materials Solutions segment.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit decreased $1.4 million or 2.7% to $50.4 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $51.9 million for the third quarter of 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased 150 basis points to 21.8% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 20.3% for the third quarter of 2019.

Consolidated gross profit decreased $28.0 million or 13.2% to $184.1 million for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $212.0 million for the first nine months of 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 50 basis points to 23.4% for the first nine months of 2020 compared to 23.9% for the first nine months of 2019 due to the non-recurring Georgia Pellet Plant sale, which resulted in $20.0 million of gross profit in the second quarter of 2019 as the related inventory values had been written off in 2018. This was offset by improved overhead absorption variances driven by restructuring and right-sizing activities which began in late 2019.
Selling, General, Administrative and Engineering Expenses
Selling, general, administrative and engineering expenses increased $1.2 million, or 2.5%, to $48.8 million or 21.1% of net sales for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $47.6 million or 18.6% of net sales for the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to the acquisitions of St. Bruno and Blair.

Selling, general, administrative and engineering expenses decreased $10.8 million, or 6.8%, to $147.8 million or 18.8% of net sales for the first nine months of 2020, compared to $158.6 million or 17.9% of net sales for the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to reductions in consulting fees, travel and employee expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $0.1 million to $0.1 million from $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2019 due primarily to the Company not having any loans outstanding on the Company’s domestic line of credit in the third quarter of 2020.

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2020 decreased $1.0 million to $0.3 million from $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2019 due primarily to the Company not having any loans outstanding on the Company’s domestic line of credit in 2020.
Other Income, Net of Expenses
Other income, net of expenses was $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2019 due to the $1.1 million gain on sale of Enid’s oil and gas assets in the third quarter of 2020.

Other income, net of expenses was $2.0 million for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2019, an increase of $0.7 million due primarily to the $1.1 million gain on sale of Enid’s oil and gas assets in the third quarter of 2020.
Income Tax Expense
The Company’s income tax benefit for the third quarter of 2020 was $1.2 million compared to income tax expense of $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2019. The Company’s combined effective income tax rate was (279.1)% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 17.6% for the third quarter of 2019. The tax rate for 2020 was lower compared to 2019 due to an increased research and development credit benefit for 2020 in combination with a lower comparative pre-tax book income to 2019.

The Company’s income tax benefit for the first nine months of 2020 was $4.5 million compared to income tax expense of $11.4 million for the first nine months of 2019. The Company’s combined effective income tax rate was (16.8)% for the first nine months of 2020 compared to 22.0% for the first nine months of 2019. The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a $9.5 million tax benefit resulting from provisions of the CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020. Among other provisions, the CARES Act modified the NOL carryback provisions, which allowed the Company to carryback its 2018 NOL to prior tax years. This change not only favorably impacted the timing of the NOL benefit, but also increased the tax benefit amount as the federal tax rates in the prior years (35%) were higher than the current federal tax rate (21%).

INDEX
Net Income
The Company’s net income attributable to controlling interest was $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $1.4 million or 45.2%, with the main drivers being a $2.5 million write down of the inventories at the Company's Enid site; offset by the $1.1 million sale of the Company's Albuquerque facility. Net income attributable to controlling interest per diluted share was $0.07 for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $0.13 for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $0.06. Diluted shares outstanding for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were 22,946,000 and 22,684,000, respectively.

The Company’s net income attributable to controlling interest was $31.6 million for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $40.7 million for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $9.1 million or 22.4%, with the main driver being a $9.7 million increase in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Net income attributable to controlling interest per diluted share was $1.38 for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $1.79 for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $0.41. Diluted shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were 22,837,725 and 22,666,000, respectively.
Dividends
In February 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend policy pursuant to which the Company began paying a quarterly $0.10 per share dividend on its common stock beginning in the third quarter of 2013. In July 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a revised quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share, a 10% increase. The actual amount of future quarterly dividends, if any, will be based upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements and restrictions under the Company’s existing credit agreement, among other factors. The Board retained the power to modify, suspend or cancel the Company’s dividend policy in any manner and at any time it deems necessary or appropriate in the future. The Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.11 per common share to shareholders in the first, second and third quarter of 2020 and 2019.
Backlog
The backlog of orders as of September 30, 2020 was $218.5 million compared to $243.9 million as of September 30, 2019, a decrease of $25.4 million or 10.4%. Both domestic and international backlogs decreased $6.8 million or 4.3% and $18.7 million or 21.8%, respectively. The backlog decreased $19.0 million in the Infrastructure Solutions segment and decreased $6.5 million in the Materials Solutions segment. Lower orders were driven by COVID-19 uncertainty.

Segment profits were unfavorably impacted by a decrease in gross profit of $19.1 million due to a 180 basis point decrease in gross margins between periods (22.6% and 24.4% for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively). The reduction in gross margin percentage is due to the non-recurring sale of the Georgia Pellet Plant in the second quarter of 2019 for $20.0 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in selling expense of $6.1 million driven by increasing efficiencies.

The decrease is segment profits was partially offset by decreases in general and administrative expense of $1.3 million and selling expenses of $4.2 million due to right-sizing activities.
Corporate: Corporate operations had a loss of $28.2 million for the first nine months of 2020 compared to a loss of $32.4 million for the first nine months of 2019, a favorable change of $4.2 million or (12.9)%, due primarily to reductions in income taxes of $14.4 million; offset by selling, general, administrative and engineering expense increases due to asset impairment of $2.5 million, consulting of $2.2 million and $5.2 million of SERP compensation and other payroll related expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are its (1) cash on hand, (2) borrowing capacity under a $150.0 million revolving credit facility and (3) cash flows from operations, which may be negatively affected in the future as a result of COVID-19. The Company had $108.5 million of cash available for operating purposes as of September 30, 2020, of which $20.9 million was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, as provided under the Tax Act passed in December 2017, greatly reduced any additional taxes on these funds should the Company decide to repatriate these funds to the United States. At September 30, 2020, or at any time during the first nine months of 2020, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $150.0 million domestic revolving credit facility. Net of letters of credit totaling $8.6 million, the Company had borrowing availability of $141.4 million under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2020. The revolving credit facility agreement contains certain financial covenants, including provisions concerning required levels of annual net income and minimum tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the agreement at September 30, 2020.
The Company’s South African subsidiary, Osborn Engineered Products SA (Pty) Ltd (“Johannesburg”), has a credit facility of $5.6 million with a South African bank to finance short-term working capital needs, as well as to cover performance letters of credit, advance payment and retention guarantees.

The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Astec do Brasil Fabricacao de Equipamentos Ltda. (“Belo Horizonte”), had a $0.5 million and $0.9 million working capital loan outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, from a Brazilian bank with an interest rate of 10.4%. The loan’s final monthly payment is due in April 2024 and the debt is secured by Belo Horizonte’s manufacturing facility. Belo Horizonte’s debt is included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as current maturities of long-term debt ($0.1 million and $0.2 million) and long-term debt ($0.4 million and $0.7 million) as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company’s total current assets increased to $533.2 million as of September 30, 2020 from $506.3 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of $26.9 million or 5.3%, due primarily to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $59.7 million offset by a decrease of $33.1 million in inventories during the first nine months of 2020.
The Company’s total current liabilities decreased to $161.2 million as of September 30, 2020 from $172.8 million as of December 31, 2019, a decrease of $11.6 million, or 6.7%, due primarily to reductions in customer deposits of $15.1 million and accounts payable of $4.0 million; offset by increases in other current liabilities of $6.1 million and accrued payroll and related liabilities of $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2020.
Market Risk and Risk Management Policies
We have no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Contingencies
Certain customers have financed purchases of Company products through arrangements in which the Company is contingently liable for customer debt of $3.5 million at September 30, 2020. These arrangements expire at various dates through December 2023 and provide that the Company will receive the lender's full security interest in the equipment financed if the Company is required to fulfill its contingent liability under these arrangements. Additionally, the Company is also potentially liable for 1.75% of the unpaid balance, determined as of December 31st of the prior year, on certain past customer equipment purchases that were financed by an outside finance company (the maximum exposure for the Company in 2020 is $0.6 million). The Company has recorded a liability of $1.3 million related to these guarantees as of September 30, 2020.

INDEX
The Company reviews off balance sheet guarantees individually, and at the loss pool level based on one agreement. Prior history is considered in regard to the Company having to perform on any off balance sheet guarantees, as well as future projections of individual customer credit worthiness. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company considered the implications of COVID-19 in regard to assessing credit losses related to off balance sheet guarantees.
In addition, the Company is contingently liable under letters of credit issued by a domestic lender totaling $8.6 million as of September 30, 2020, including $3.2 million of letters of credit guaranteeing certain Astec Brazil bank debt. The outstanding letters of credit expire at various dates through June 2023. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are contingently liable for a total of $2.4 million in performance letters of credit, advance payments and retention guarantees. The maximum potential amount of future payments under all global letters of credit and guarantees for which the Company could be liable is $11.0 million as of September 30, 2020.
The Company and certain of its former executive officers have been named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit filed on February 1, 2019, as amended on August 26, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The action is styled City of Taylor General Employees Retirement System v. Astec Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-00024-TRM-CHS. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and misleading statements and that the individual defendants are control person under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint was filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s stock between July 26, 2016 and October 22, 2018 and seeks monetary damages on behalf of the purported class. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on October 25, 2019 which is pending. The Company has accrued a $0.6 million liability as of September 30, 2020.
The Company's GEFCO subsidiary has been named a defendant in a lawsuit originally filed on August 16, 2018 with an amended complaint filed on January 25, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. The action is styled VenVer S.A. and Americas Coil Tubing LLP v. GEFCO, Inc., Case No. CIV-18-790-SLP. The complaint alleges breaches of warranty and other similar claims regarding equipment sold by GEFCO in 2013. In addition to seeking a rescission of the purchase contract, the plaintiffs seek special and consequential damages. The purchase contract contains an exclusion of consequential damages. The original purchase price of the equipment was approximately $8.5 million. GEFCO disputes the plaintiffs' allegations and is vigorously defending the lawsuit. On July 7, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a separate lawsuit directly against Astec Industries, Inc. Besides a new claim based on fraudulent transfer, the allegations essentially mirror the GEFCO suit. Astec Industries, Inc. is vigorously defending that suit as well. The matter is set for mediation on November 17, 2020. The Company is unable to determine whether or not a future loss will be incurred due to this litigation or estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.
The Company is currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss (excluding estimated legal fees) or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point within the range is more probable than another. As management becomes aware of additional information concerning such contingencies, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is either (i) probable but cannot be reasonably estimated or (ii) reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record the amount of the loss, but does make specific disclosure of such matter. Based upon currently available information and with the advice of counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome of its current claims and legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and rulings unfavorable to the Company could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2020, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Contractual Obligations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no material changes in the Company’s commitments or contractual liabilities disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits 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 the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective due to material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts discussed below, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 
Remediation
As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we began implementing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses mentioned above. The weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively.
PART II ‑ OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. Other than as set forth in Note 16, Contingent Matters, to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and Part I, “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company currently has no pending or threatened litigation that the Company believes will result in an outcome that would materially affect the Company’s business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that future litigation to which the Company becomes a party will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results.

The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of the purchases are based on a variety of factors. No time limit was set for completion of repurchases under the authorization and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. No additional shares were repurchased under this plan during 2019 or the first nine months of 2020.
