NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2017
(In thousands, except as noted and per share amounts)
NOTE 1—
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NACCO Industries, Inc. (the “parent company” or “NACCO”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “NACCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company's subsidiaries operate in the following principal industries: mining, small appliances and specialty retail. The Company manages its subsidiaries primarily by industry.
The North American Coal Corporation and its affiliated companies (collectively, “NACoal”) mine coal primarily for use in power generation and provide value-added services for natural resource companies. Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”) is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. The Kitchen Collection, LLC (“KC”) is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware operating under the Kitchen Collection® store name in outlet and traditional malls throughout the United States.
NACoal has the following operating coal mining subsidiaries: Bisti Fuels Company, LLC ("Bisti"), Caddo Creek Resources Company, LLC (“Caddo Creek”), Camino Real Fuels, LLC (“Camino Real”), The Coteau Properties Company (“Coteau”), Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (“Coyote Creek”), Demery Resources Company, LLC (“Demery”), The Falkirk Mining Company (“Falkirk”), Liberty Fuels Company, LLC (“Liberty”), Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (“MLMC”) and The Sabine Mining Company (“Sabine”).
All of the operating coal mining subsidiaries other than MLMC are unconsolidated (collectively the "Unconsolidated Mines"). The Unconsolidated Mines were formed to develop, construct and/or operate surface coal mines under long-term contracts and are capitalized primarily with debt financing provided by or supported by their respective customers, and without recourse to NACCO and NACoal. The contracts with the customers of the Unconsolidated Mines provide for reimbursement to the company at a price based on actual costs plus an agreed upon pre-tax profit per ton of coal sold or actual costs plus an agreed upon fee per btu of heating value delivered. The fees earned at each mine adjust over time in line with various indices which reflect general U.S. inflation rates.
Although NACoal owns 100% of the equity and manages the daily operations of the Unconsolidated Mines, the Company has determined that the equity capital provided by NACoal is not sufficient to adequately finance the ongoing activities or absorb any expected losses without additional support from the customers. The customers have a controlling financial interest and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entities. As a result, NACoal is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate these entities' financial position or results of operations. The income taxes resulting from operations of the Unconsolidated Mines are solely the responsibility of the Company. The pre-tax income from the Unconsolidated Mines is reported on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated mines” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with related taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The Company has included the pre-tax earnings of the Unconsolidated Mines above operating profit as they are an integral component of the Company's business and operating results.
MLMC is a consolidated entity because NACoal pays all operating costs and provides the capital for the mine. MLMC sells coal to its customer at a contractually agreed upon price which adjusts monthly, primarily based on changes in the level of established indices which reflect general U.S. inflation rates. Centennial Natural Resources, LLC ("Centennial"), which ceased coal production in the fourth quarter of 2015, is also a consolidated entity.
NACoal provides value-added mining services for independently owned limerock quarries through its North American Mining ("NAM") division. NAM is reimbursed by its customers based on actual costs plus a management fee. The financial results for NAM are included in consolidated mining operations or unconsolidated mining operations based on each entity's structure.
NACoal also provides coal handling, processing and drying services for a number of customers. For example, NoDak Energy Services, LLC ("NoDak") operates and maintains a coal processing facility for a customer's power plant. The pre-tax income from NoDak is reported on the line "Income from other unconsolidated affiliates" in the "Other (income) expense" section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the related income taxes included in the provision for income taxes. North
American Coal Royalty Company, a consolidated entity, provides surface and mineral acquisition and lease maintenance services related to the Company's operations.
All of the unconsolidated subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method.
See Note 6
for further discussion.

NOTE 2—
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB codified in ASC 606, "Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers and provide additional disclosures. As amended, the effective date for public entities is annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The Company anticipates adopting the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized as an adjustment to equity. The Company has developed a project plan with respect to its implementation of this standard, including identification of revenue streams and review of contracts and procedures currently in place, and is evaluating the impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The adoption of this guidance will result in increased disclosures to help users of financial statements understand the nature, amount and timing of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts. The Company is in the process of identifying and implementing changes to processes and controls to meet the standard's updated reporting and disclosure requirements and continues to update its assessment of the impact of the standard. The Company expects to further its assessment of the financial impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements by mid-2017.

Stockholders' Equity
Stock Repurchase Program:
On May 10, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "2016 Stock Repurchase Program") providing for the purchase of up to
$50 million
of the Company's Class A Common Stock outstanding through December 31, 2017. The Company’s previous
$60 million
stock repurchase program, announced in December 2013, was completed in October 2015. The timing and amount of any repurchases under the 2016 Stock Repurchase Program are determined at the discretion of the Company's management based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, other capital allocation alternatives and market conditions for the Company's Class A Common Stock. The 2016 Stock Repurchase Program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. It may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice and may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. All or part of the repurchases under the 2016 Stock Repurchase Program may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from doing so.
During the
three months ended March 31, 2017
, the Company did not repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2016 Stock Repurchase Program.

Bellaire Corporation (“Bellaire”) is a non-operating subsidiary of the Company with legacy liabilities relating to closed mining operations, primarily former Eastern U.S. underground coal mining operations. In connection with Bellaire's normal permit renewal with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP"), Bellaire established a
$5.0 million
mine water treatment trust (the "Mine Water Treatment Trust") to provide a financial assurance mechanism to assure the long-term treatment of post-mining discharges. Bellaire's Mine Water Treatment Trust invests in available for sale securities that are reported at fair value based upon quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets; therefore, they are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company uses significant other observable inputs to value derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risk; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value for these contracts is determined based on exchange rates and interest rates, respectively.

Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
NACoal's wholly owned unconsolidated subsidiaries each meet the definition of a variable interest entity.
See Note 1
for a discussion of these entities.
The investment in the unconsolidated subsidiaries and related tax positions totaled

,
$31.1 million
and
$29.5 million
at
March 31, 2017
,
December 31, 2016

NACoal is a party to certain guarantees related to Coyote Creek. Under certain circumstances of default or termination of Coyote Creek’s Lignite Sales Agreement (“LSA”), NACoal would be obligated for payment of a "make-whole" amount to Coyote Creek’s third-party lenders. The “make-whole” amount is based on the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining scheduled debt payments over the principal amount. In addition, in the event Coyote Creek’s LSA is terminated on or after January 1, 2024 by Coyote Creek’s customers, NACoal is obligated to purchase Coyote Creek’s dragline and rolling stock for the then net book value of those assets. To date, no payments have been required from NACoal since the inception of these guarantees. The Company believes that the likelihood of NACoal’s future performance under the guarantees is remote, and no amounts related to these guarantees have been recorded.
Summarized financial information for the unconsolidated subsidiaries is as follows:

NOTE 7—
Contingencies
Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against NACCO and certain subsidiaries relating to the conduct of their businesses, including product liability, patent infringement, asbestos-related claims, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business of the Company. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and which are material, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, in some circumstances, an estimate of the possible loss.
These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.
Environmental matters
HBB is investigating or remediating historical environmental contamination at some current and former sites operated by HBB or by businesses it acquired. Based on the current stage of the investigation or remediation at each known site, HBB estimates the total investigation and remediation costs and the period of assessment and remediation activity required for each site. The estimate of future investigation and remediation costs is primarily based on variables associated with site clean-up, including, but not limited to, physical characteristics of the site, the nature and extent of the contamination and applicable regulatory programs and remediation standards. No assessment can fully characterize all subsurface conditions at a site. There is no
10
Table of Contents
assurance that additional assessment and remediation efforts will not result in adjustments to estimated remediation costs or the time frame for remediation at these sites.
HBB's estimates of investigation and remediation costs may change if it discovers contamination at additional sites or additional contamination at known sites, if the effectiveness of its current remediation efforts change, if applicable federal or state regulations change or if HBB's estimate of the time required to remediate the sites changes. HBB's revised estimates may differ materially from original estimates.
At
March 31, 2017
,
December 31, 2016
and
March 31, 2016
, HBB had accrued undiscounted obligations of
$9.0 million
,
$8.7 million
and
$9.3 million
, respectively, for environmental investigation and remediation activities. In addition, HBB estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional expenses in the range of
zero
to
$5.0 million
related to the environmental investigation and remediation at these sites.

Operating profit increased in the

primarily as a result of an increase in earnings of unconsolidated mines, as new mines began or increased production, and lower costs at Centennial, including the absence of a $0.8 million charge related to an increase in Centennial's asset retirement obligation recognized in the first quarter of 2016. These improvements were partially offset by a decrease in results at MLMC as a result of the decrease in tons sold.

in the

The change in net cash used for operating activities was primarily the result of the change in other during the
first three months of 2017
compared with the
first three months of 2016
, mainly attributable to changes in deferred income taxes and
NACoal's pension
obligation.
The increase in net cash used for investing activities was primarily attributable to increased expenditures for property, plant and equipment. In the
first three months of 2017
, capital expenditures were mainly for the purchase of machinery and equipment and dragline relocation.

The change in net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was primarily from an increase in borrowings on NACoal's revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2017 compared with a reduction in borrowings during the first quarter of 2016.
Financing Activities
NACoal has an unsecured revolving line of credit of up to
$225.0 million
(the “NACoal Facility”) that expires in November 2018. Borrowings outstanding under the NACoal Facility were
$82.0 million
at
March 31, 2017
. At
March 31, 2017
, the excess availability under the NACoal Facility was
$140.9 million
, which reflects a reduction for outstanding letters of credit of
$2.1 million
.
The NACoal Facility has performance-based pricing, which sets interest rates based upon achieving various levels of debt to EBITDA ratios, as defined in the NACoal Facility. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus a margin based on the level of debt to EBITDA ratio achieved. The applicable margins, effective
March 31, 2017
, for base rate and LIBOR loans were
1.00%
and
2.00%
, respectively. The NACoal Facility has a commitment fee which is based upon achieving various levels of debt to EBITDA ratios. The commitment fee was
0.35%
on the unused commitment at
March 31, 2017
. The floating rate of interest applicable to the NACoal Facility at
March 31, 2017
was
3.38%
including the floating rate margin and the effect of the interest rate swap agreement discussed below.
To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, NACoal has entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a portion of the NACoal Facility. Terms of the interest rate swap agreement require NACoal to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. NACoal has interest rate swaps with notional values totaling
$80.0 million
at
March 31, 2017
at an average fixed rate of
1.4%
.
15
Table of Contents
The NACoal Facility contains restrictive covenants, which require, among other things, NACoal to maintain a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 and an interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.00 to 1.00. The NACoal Facility provides the ability to make loans, dividends and advances to NACCO, with some restrictions based on maintaining a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 in conjunction with maintaining unused availability thresholds of borrowing capacity, as defined in the NACoal Facility, of $15.0 million. At
March 31, 2017
, NACoal was in compliance with all financial covenants in the NACoal Facility.
NACoal believes funds available from cash on hand at the Company, the NACoal Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the NACoal Facility.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Since
December 31, 2016
, there have been no significant changes in the total amount of NACoal's contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 48 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
.
See Note 6
for a discussion of certain guarantees related to Coyote Creek.
Capital Expenditures

2017
will be an additional
$13.5 million
, primarily for mine machinery and equipment. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

The increase in other net tangible assets during the
first three months of 2017
was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable from unconsolidated subsidiaries and in accounts receivable primarily due to higher limerock deliveries at NAM, as well as decreases in accrued payroll and accrued legal. Accrued payroll and accrued legal decreased because payments were made during the first quarter of 2017.
OUTLOOK
In 2017, NACoal expects a significant increase in tons sold and income before income tax compared with 2016, including and excluding the effect of Centennial's 2016 asset impairment and legal resolution charges.
Income before income tax in 2017 is expected to benefit from an increase in earnings from the unconsolidated mining operations due to the start of production at Bisti on January 1, 2017 and to a full year of production at the Coyote Creek mine. In addition, NAM has commenced operations at additionallimerock quarries for a new customer, which is also expected to contribute to the increase in income from the unconsolidated mining operations.
Bisti expects to deliver between 5.0 to 6.0 million tons of coal per year when the power plant supplied by its customer is operating at anticipated levels. Coyote Creek expects to deliver between 2.0 to 2.5 million tons of coal annually when its customer's power plant operates at anticipated levels. In 2016, Liberty began delivering coal to its customer for facility testing and commissioning. Production levels at Liberty are expected to increase gradually and to build to full production of
16

approximately 4.5 million tons of coal annually beginning in 2023, although the pace of future deliveries will be affected by the timing of the Kemper County Energy Facility reaching full operating capacity.
Income before income tax is also expected to benefit moderately from lower expenses related to the Otter Creek reserves in North Dakota and a lower, more moderate, operating loss at Centennial as it manages ongoing mine reclamation obligations. Centennial will continue to evaluate strategies to optimize cash flow, including through the sale of mineral reserves and equipment. The company is evaluating a range of strategies for its Alabama mineral reserves, including holding reserves with substantial unmined coal tons for sale or contract mining when conditions in Alabama and global coal markets improve. Cash expenditures related to mine reclamation will continue until reclamation is complete, or ownership of, or responsibility for, the mines is transferred.
The improvement in income before income tax is expected to be partially offset by a decrease in MLMC's 2017 results, with a substantial decrease in the first half of the year expected to be partially offset by improvements in the second half. Lower results from NAM's consolidated limerock mining operations due to an anticipated decline in customer requirements is also expected to partially offset improved income before income tax. As a result of a new oil and gas royalty agreement finalized in the first quarter of 2017, royalty and other income in 2017 is expected to be comparable to 2016.
Cash flow before financing activities is expected to be strong in 2017 but decrease significantly compared with 2016. Capital expenditures are estimated to be approximately $17 million in 2017, of which $3.4 million was expended in the first quarter of 2017.
Over the longer-term, NACoal continues to expect that the earnings of its unconsolidated operations will increase by approximately 50% from the 2012 level of $45.2 million through the development and maturation of its newer operations and normal escalation of contractual compensation at its existing operations. Income related to NACoal's newer mines, including the commencement of production at Bisti and increased deliveries at Liberty, are expected to advance progress toward this goal in 2017 and beyond. In recent years, generally low U.S. inflation rates have slowed the rate by which fees at unconsolidated mines have escalated and some newer mines, such as Liberty, have experienced slower than anticipated growth in customer demand. As a result, achievement of the goal to increase earnings of the unconsolidated operations by 50% is currently expected to occur in 2020 or 2021, later than previously anticipated, with the timing ultimately dependent on future inflation rates and customer demand.
NACoal expects to continue its efforts to develop new mining projects and is pursuing opportunities for new or expanded coal mining projects, although future opportunities are likely to be very limited. In addition, NACoal continues to pursue additional non-coal mining opportunities, principally in aggregates.

compared with the

.
Financing Activities
HBB has a
$115.0 million
senior secured floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “HBB Facility”) that expires in June 2021. The obligations under the HBB Facility are secured by substantially all of HBB's assets. The approximate book value of HBB's assets held as collateral under the HBB Facility was
$221.0 million
as of
March 31, 2017
. At
March 31, 2017
, the borrowing base under the HBB Facility was
$98.6 million
and borrowings outstanding under the HBB Facility were
$53.6 million
. At
March 31, 2017
, the excess availability under the HBB Facility was
$45.0 million
.
The maximum availability under the HBB Facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against eligible accounts receivable, inventory and trademarks of the borrowers, as defined in the HBB Facility. Adjustments to reserves booked against these assets, including inventory reserves, will change the eligible borrowing base and thereby impact the liquidity provided by the HBB Facility. A portion of the availability is denominated in Canadian dollars to provide funding to HBB's Canadian subsidiary. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate, which can be a base rate or LIBOR, as defined in the HBB Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective
March 31, 2017
, for base rate loans and LIBOR loans denominated in U.S. dollars were
0.00%
and
1.50%
, respectively. The applicable margins, effective
March 31, 2017
, for base rate loans and bankers' acceptance loans denominated in Canadian dollars were
0.00%
and 1.50%, respectively. The HBB Facility also required a fee of
0.25%
per annum on the unused commitment. The margins and unused commitment fee under the HBB Facility are subject to quarterly adjustment based on average excess availability. The floating rate of interest applicable to the HBB Facility at
March 31, 2017
was
2.78%
including the floating rate margin and the effect of interest rate swap agreements discussed below.
19
Table of Contents
To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, HBB has entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of the HBB Facility. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require HBB to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. HBB has interest rate swaps with notional values totaling
$20.0 million
at
March 31, 2017
at an average fixed rate of
1.4%
. HBB also has delayed start interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $25.0 million at
March 31, 2017
, with fixed rates of 1.6% and 1.7%.
The HBB Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends to NACCO, subject to achieving availability thresholds. Dividends are discretionary to the extent that for the thirty days prior to the dividend payment date, and after giving effect to the dividend payment, HBB maintains excess availability of not less than $25.0 million. The HBB Facility also requires HBB to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio in certain circumstances, as defined in the HBB Facility. At
March 31, 2017
, HBB was in compliance with all financial covenants in the HBB Facility.
HBB believes funds available from cash on hand at the Company, the HBB Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the HBB Facility.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
In the
three months ended March 31, 2017
, there were no significant changes in the total amount of HBB's contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 55 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
.
Capital Expenditures
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were
$1.0 million
for the
first three months of 2017
and are estimated to be an additional $6.9 million for the remainder of
2017
. These planned capital expenditures are primarily for improvements to HBB's information technology infrastructure and tooling for new products. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

OUTLOOK
Overall consumer confidence, financial pressures experienced by the middle-market consumer and changing consumer buying patterns continue to create uncertainty about the overall growth prospects for the U.S. retail market for small appliances. In this context, 2017 U.S. and Canadian consumer retail markets for small kitchen appliances are expected to be comparable to 2016, while international and commercial markets in which HBB participates are expected to continue to grow moderately. Sales are expected to continue to shift from in-store channels to internet sales channels.
HBB continues to focus on strengthening the consumer market position of its various product lines through product innovation, promotions, increased placements and branding programs. HBB will continue to leverage its strong brand portfolio by introducing new innovative products, as well as upgrades to certain existing products across a wide range of brands, price points and categories in both retail and commercial marketplaces. HBB continues to pursue opportunities to create or add product lines and brands that can be distributed in high-end or specialty stores and on the Internet, including the addition of a new CHI
®
-branded garment care line under a multi-year licensing deal, which began initial shipments during the first quarter of 2017. HBB also expects its growing global commercial business to benefit from broader distribution of several newer products.
As a result of this market environment and its product introductions, HBB's sales volumes and revenues are expected to increase modestly in 2017 compared with 2016, provided consumer spending is at expected levels. This increase is expected to be slightly more than the anticipated market growth due to enhanced distribution and increased higher-margin product placements resulting from the execution of the company's strategic initiatives, both domestically and internationally.
Net income in 2017 is also expected to increase modestly compared with 2016 as benefits of the increased revenues are expected to be mostly offset by the costs to implement these initiatives, as well as increased advertising and distribution costs. HBB continues to monitor currency effects, as well as commodity and other input costs, closely, and intends to continue to adjust product prices and product placements as market conditions permit.
In 2017, cash flow before financing activities is expected to be substantial but lower than 2016. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $8 million in 2017, of which $1.0 million was expended in the first quarter of 2017.
Longer term, HBB will work to improve return on sales through economies of scale derived from market growth and its strategic revenue growth initiatives. These initiatives are focused on enhancing HBB's placements in the North American consumer business, enhancing sales in the e-commerce market, expanding its participation in the "only-the-best" market by investing in new products to be sold under the Wolf Gourmet

brand names, expanding internationally in emerging growth markets, increasing its global commercial presence through enhanced global product lines for chains and distributors serving the global food service and hospitality markets and leveraging its other strategic initiatives to drive category and channel expansion.

first three months of 2017
compared with the
first three months of 2016
.
Financing Activities
KC has a
$25.0 million
secured revolving line of credit that expires in September 2019 (the “KC Facility”). The obligations under the KC Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of KC. The approximate book value of KC's assets held as collateral under the KC Facility was
$39.0 million
as of
March 31, 2017
. At
March 31, 2017
, the borrowing base under the KC Facility was
$17.7 million
and borrowings outstanding under the KC Facility were
$5.4 million
. At
March 31, 2017
, the excess availability under the KC Facility was
$12.3 million
.
The maximum availability under the KC Facility is derived from a borrowing base formula using KC's eligible inventory and eligible credit card accounts receivable, as defined in the KC Facility. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus a margin based on the excess availability under the agreement, as defined in the KC Facility, which can be either a base rate plus a margin of
1.00%
or LIBOR plus a margin of
2.00%
as of
March 31, 2017
. The KC Facility also requires a commitment fee of
0.32%
per annum on the unused commitment.
The KC Facility allows for the payment of dividends to NACCO, subject to certain restrictions based on availability and meeting a fixed charge coverage ratio as described in the KC Facility. Dividends are limited to (i) $6.0 million in any twelve-

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were
$0.3 million
for the
first three months of 2017

The
$2.2 million
decrease in other net tangible assets at
March 31, 2017
compared with
March 31, 2016
was mainly due to the changes in net intercompany tax receivable/payable and a decrease in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable at
March 31, 2017
. The decreases in inventory and accounts payable are the result of fewer stores at

Other net tangible assets increased
$8.8 million
at
March 31, 2017
compared with
December 31, 2016
primarily as a result of a decrease in accounts payable partially offset by a decrease in inventory. Both of these decreases are due to the seasonality of the business and fewer stores at
March 31, 2017
compared with December 31, 2016.
OUTLOOK
A shift in consumer shopping patterns has led to declining consumer traffic to physical retail locations and reduced in-store transactions as consumers buy more over the Internet or utilize the Internet for comparison shopping. Financial pressures on middle-market consumers interested in housewares and small appliances continue to persist and have also adversely affected sales trends in these categories over the last few years. These factors are expected to continue to limit KC's target consumers' spending on housewares and small appliances, resulting in continued market softness in 2017. Given this market environment, KC expects to continue to aggressively manage its store portfolio and continue its focus on a smaller core group of profitable Kitchen Collection
®
outlet stores. The company closed 17 stores early in the first quarter of 2017 and plans to open a limited number of stores throughout the remainder of the year in more favorable mall locations. As a result of these actions, KC anticipates revenues to decline modestly in 2017 compared with 2016, with full-year 2017 operating results comparable to 2016, provided customer visits are at expected levels. KC also expects to generate modest cash flow before financing activities in 2017. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.5 million in 2017, of which $0.3 million was expended in the first quarter of 2017.
KC aims to provide consumers with products they want at affordable prices. KC's continued focus on increasing the average sale per transaction, the average closure rate and the number of items per transaction through the continued refinement of its format and improved customer interactions to enhance customers' store experience is expected to generate sales growth over time. Additionally, improved product offerings, a focus on sales of higher-margin products, merchandise mix and displays, new store profitability, closure of underperforming stores and optimizing expense structure are expected to generate improved operating profit over time. As a result, KC believes its smaller core store portfolio is well positioned to take advantage of any future market rebound.

First
Quarter of
2017
Compared with
First
Quarter of
2016
The increase in the operating loss in the first quarter of 2017 compared with the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to higher employee-related expenses and increased legal fees partially offset by an increase in management fees charged to the subsidiaries.
The change in net loss for the first quarter of 2017 compared with 2016 was primarily due to the factors affecting operating loss and the change in income taxes.
Management Fees
The management fees charged to the operating subsidiaries represent an allocation of corporate overhead of the parent company. Management fees are allocated among all subsidiaries based upon the relative size and complexity of each subsidiary. The Company believes the allocation method is consistently applied and reasonable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Although NACCO's subsidiaries have entered into substantial borrowing agreements, NACCO has not guaranteed any borrowings of its subsidiaries. The borrowing agreements at NACoal, HBB and KC allow for the payment to NACCO of dividends and advances under certain circumstances. Dividends (to the extent permitted by its subsidiaries' borrowing agreements) and management fees from its subsidiaries are the primary sources of cash for NACCO.
The Company believes funds available from cash on hand, its subsidiaries' credit facilities and anticipated funds generated from operations are sufficient to finance all of the subsidiaries' scheduled principal repayments, and its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of its subsidiaries' credit facilities.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Since
December 31, 2016
, there have been no significant changes in the total amount of NACCO and Other contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 65 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
HBB operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations on revenues, operating profit and net income at HBB are addressed in the previous discussions of operating results. See also Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company's subsidiaries, NACoal, HBB and KC, have entered into certain financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. As such, the Company's financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. There is an inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, NACoal and HBB have entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of their floating rate financing arrangements. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements provide for the subsidiaries to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate.
The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements was a net
receivable
of
$0.7 million
at
March 31, 2017
. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not cause a material change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at
March 31, 2017
and, assuming no changes in the Company's financial structure as it stands, would not have a material effect on annual interest expense.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
HBB operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and, to a lesser extent, the Chinese yuan and Brazilian real. As such, its financial results are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies affects the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. The potential impact of currency fluctuation increases as international expansion increases.
HBB uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies and not for trading purposes. These contracts generally mature within twelve months and require HBB to buy or sell the functional currency in which the applicable subsidiary operates and buy or sell U.S. dollars at rates agreed to at the inception of the contracts. The fair value of these contracts was a net
payable
of
$0.5 million
at
March 31, 2017
.
For purposes of risk analysis, the Company uses sensitivity analyses to measure the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company assumes that a loss in fair value is either a decrease to its assets or an increase to its liabilities. Assuming a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar compared with other foreign currencies at
March 31, 2017
, the fair value of foreign currency-sensitive financial instruments, which primarily represent forward foreign currency exchange contracts, would be decreased by
$1.1 million
compared with its fair value at
March 31, 2017
. It is important to note that the change in fair value indicated in this sensitivity analysis would be somewhat offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying receivables and payables, which would not be material.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
The Company uses certain commodities, including steel and diesel fuel, in the normal course of its mining processes. As such, the cost of operations is subject to variability as the market for these commodities changes. The Company monitors this risk and utilizes forward purchase contracts to manage a portion of NACoal's exposure related to diesel fuel volatility. There have been no material changes in the Company's commodity price risk during the
first
quarter of
2017
.
