JOY GLOBAL INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.
Description of Business
Joy Global Inc. (the "Company," "we" and "us") is a leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of metals and minerals. We manufacture and market original equipment and parts and perform services for both underground and surface mining, as well as certain industrial applications. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals. We operate in two business segments: Underground Mining Machinery ("Underground") and Surface Mining Equipment ("Surface"). We are a major manufacturer of underground mining machinery for the extraction and haulage of coal and other bedded minerals. We are also a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction and haulage of copper, coal and other minerals and ores. We offer comprehensive direct service, which includes our smart service offerings, near major mining regions worldwide and provide extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in mining. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, and internationally, including facilities in Australia, Canada, China, South Africa, the United Kingdom and France.

2.
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation on a going concern basis of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for all periods presented have been made. All such adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the future could differ from those estimates.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.
Acquisitions
Acquisition of Mining Technologies International Inc.
On May 30, 2014, we closed on the purchase of certain assets of Mining Technologies International Inc. ("MTI") for $44.4 million dollars. MTI is a Canadian manufacturer of underground hard rock mining equipment serving the North American markets and a world leading supplier of raise bore drilling consumables. We acquired substantially all of the assets associated with MTI’s hard rock drilling, loaders, dump trucks, shaft sinking and raise bore product lines. MTI's results of operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements as part of the Underground segment from the acquisition date forward.
In connection with the acquisition, we recorded goodwill of approximately $0.3 million and intangible assets of approximately $9.9 million. The intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships and designs and drawings, which are being amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.
Acquisition of Montabert S.A.S.
On June 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Montabert S.A.S. ("Montabert") for approximately $121.5 million dollars, gross of cash acquired of $7.1 million dollars and subject to a working capital adjustment. Montabert specializes in the design, production and distribution of high quality hydraulic rock breakers, pneumatic equipment, drilling attachments, drifters and related parts and tools. This acquisition expands the Company's product and service capabilities for hard rock mining, tunneling and rock excavation, further diversifying our commodity and end market exposures. Montabert's results of operations will be included as part of the Underground segment from the date of the acquisition forward.
In connection with the acquisition, we preliminarily recorded goodwill of approximately $55.7 million and intangible assets of approximately $35.1 million. The intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships, trade names and patents, which are being amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. Other assets acquired consist of working capital related items and property, plant, and equipment, with values that are not individually significant. The accounting for the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change, as we are in the process of obtaining third party valuations of assets acquired.

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, which is principally the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairment was identified related to our finite-lived intangible assets as of July 31, 2015.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units, and is tested for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets, its related effect on the global mining investment environment and the resulting impact on our stock price, our total shareholders’ equity exceeded our market capitalization during the latter part of the quarter ended July 31, 2015, indicating the possibility of an impairment to goodwill. Based on this indicator of impairment, we performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill as of the last day of our fiscal third quarter. We have concluded our step one evaluation on our reporting units. After completing this analysis, we determined that the estimated fair value of our Underground reporting unit was lower than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Given the timing of the decline in our market capitalization, we have not completed step two of the goodwill impairment test for this reporting unit, which will determine the amount of impairment loss, if any, for our Underground reporting unit. Step two of the impairment test requires we perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for the Underground reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill to the recorded amount of goodwill. We have engaged a third party valuation firm to assist in this process. We are unable to provide a reasonable estimate or a range of estimates for the potential non-cash impairment charge at this time. We will complete the analysis during the fourth quarter.


6. Warranties
We provide for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties to remedy deficiencies of quality or performance of our products. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. These product warranties extend over either a specified period of time, units of production or machine hours depending on the product subject to the warranty. We accrue a provision for estimated future warranty costs based on the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. We periodically review the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties and adjust the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience as necessary.
The following table reconciles the changes in the product warranty reserve:

Borrowings and Credit Facilities
On July 29, 2014, we entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on July 29, 2019 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). Under the Credit Agreement, we also may request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement simultaneously replaced the $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement dated as of October 12, 2012 (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), that was scheduled to expire on November 12, 2017. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one week or one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company's credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its "prime rate," or (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company's credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders if we are not in compliance with the financial covenants in the agreement. As of July 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and had no restrictions on the payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders.
As of July 31, 2015, there were no direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the quarters July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014 is $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement was $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $1.0 billion credit limit, totaled $143.2 million. As of July 31, 2015, there was $856.8 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
On July 29, 2014, we also entered into a term loan agreement which matures July 29, 2019 and provides for a commitment of up to $375.0 million (as amended, the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan replaced our prior term loan, dated as of June 16, 2011 (the "Prior Term Loan"). The Prior Term Loan had been scheduled to mature on July 16, 2016 and provided an initial commitment of $500.0 million, which had been drawn in full in conjunction with our fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. and had been amortized to $375.0 million at the date that we entered into the Term Loan. We utilized the $375.0 million commitment under the Term Loan to repay the balance outstanding under the Prior Term Loan. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning in fiscal 2016 and contains terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of July 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.
On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 (the "2021 Notes") at a discount of $4.2 million in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.
In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2016 Notes" and "2036 Notes," respectively). Interest on the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.3% for the 2016 Notes and 0.375% for the 2036 Notes.

Shareholders' Equity
In August 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of our common stock until August 2016. Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations. During the quarter ended July 31, 2015, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. During the quarter ended August 1, 2014, we purchased 1,091,602 shares of common stock for approximately $64.8 million. During the nine months ended July 31, 2015, we purchased 954,580 shares of common stock for approximately $50.0 million, all purchases of which occurred in the first quarter. During the nine months ended August 1, 2014, we purchased 3,488,312 shares of common stock for approximately $194.3 million. Since its inception, the Company has repurchased 9,771,605 shares of common stock under the program for approximately $533.4 million, leaving $466.6 million available under the program.

10. Share-Based Compensation
Total share-based compensation expense (income) recognized for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014 is $7.9 million and $(2.0) million, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014 was $23.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Income from share based compensation for the quarter ended August 1, 2014 was the result of the adjustment of forfeiture rates and the reassessment of performance related measures at that time. The total share-based compensation expense is reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in operating activities as an add back to net income.
The corresponding deferred taxes recognized related to the share-based compensation is an asset of $2.1 million and a liability of $0.1 million for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, respectively. The corresponding deferred tax asset recognized related to the share-based compensation expense was $6.2 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, respectively.

11. Restructuring Charges
During fiscal 2015, in response to the adverse market conditions, the Company made decisions to further implement its cost reduction programs. 2015 programs as used herein refer to costs related to all 2015 restructuring activities. This includes entering into severance and termination agreements and full or partial closures of certain facilities in order to better align the Company's overall cost structure with anticipated levels of future demand. These activities are expected to be mostly completed by the end of fiscal 2015.
The Company incurred some immaterial restructuring costs in fiscal 2014. These costs related to decisions that preceded the fiscal 2015 restructuring plan and are therefore not considered to be part of such plan.
Restructuring charges incurred to date in fiscal 2015 have consisted of employee severance and termination costs. The following table summarizes the total expected costs and the amounts incurred by segment:

The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs under its 2015 programs, outside of employee severance and termination costs, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and in future quarters of approximately $9.4 million related to actions

12


taken to date in the fiscal year. Such costs primarily relate to property, plant, and equipment related charges, of which an estimated $6.3 million relates to accelerated depreciation of equipment. Charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 are expected to be $2.3 million for these items.
Additionally, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company undertook further actions related to its 2015 programs and expects to incur approximately $4.0 million of additional employee severance and termination costs in our fiscal fourth quarter as a result of such activities.
For the 2015 fiscal year, total restructuring charges under 2015 programs are anticipated to be between $30.0 million and $40.0 million, with $10.0 million to $20.0 million of such costs anticipated in the fourth quarter. These ranges include expected costs for activities not yet implemented. Total expected cash costs related to the 2015 programs are estimated to be approximately $24.0 million million for employee severance and termination costs, with the remaining expected charges consisting primarily of non-cash property, plant, and equipment items. We expect to achieve savings in future periods to offset these costs.

The actuarial loss (gain) arises from differences in estimates and actual experiences for certain assumptions, including changes in the discount rate and expected return on assets. For the nine months ended July 31, 2015, we contributed $12.1 million to our defined benefit employee pension plans, and we expect contributions to be less than $15.0 million for the full fiscal year.
In conjunction with a UK law change, we recorded non-cash pension settlement charges of $2.3 million and $15.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2015, respectively, as a result of the decision of certain individuals to transfer their pension benefit out of the Company's defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution plan.

13


For the quarter and nine months ended August 1, 2014, a $7.8 million non-cash pension curtailment charge was recorded in conjunction with the substantial completion of negotiations with certain of our U.S. bargaining units, resulting in the freezing of their respective defined benefit plans at the end of the 2014 calendar year.

13. Derivatives
We are exposed to certain foreign currency risks in the normal course of our global business operations. We enter into derivative contracts that are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the risks of certain identified and anticipated transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective operating unit. The types of risks hedged are those arising from the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are for forecasted transactions and committed receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Consequently, any market-related losses on the forward contract would be offset by changes in the value of the hedged item, and, as a result, we are generally not exposed to net market risk associated with these instruments.
Each derivative is classified as either a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or an undesignated instrument. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the heading Other current assets or under the heading Other accrued liabilities, as appropriate. Cash flows from fair value and cash flow hedges are classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from undesignated derivative instruments are included in operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative contract is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. This amount is reclassified into the income statement on the line associated with the underlying transaction for the periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for existing cash flow hedges are generally expected to be reclassified into earnings within one year, and all of the existing hedges will be reclassified into earnings by October 2017. Ineffectiveness related to these derivative contracts was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a loss of $0.1 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2015. There was no ineffectiveness related to these contracts for the quarter ended August 1, 2014. Ineffectiveness related to these derivative contracts was also recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a loss of $0.1 million and a gain of less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, respectively.
For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading Cost of sales. For the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, we recorded gains of $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to fair value hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of the underlying hedged item. For the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, we recorded a gain of $0.8 million and a loss of $0.7 million, respectively, related to fair value hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of the underlying hedged item.
For derivative contracts entered into in order to hedge revaluation of net balance sheet exposures in non-functional currency that are not designated as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading Cost of sales. For the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, we recorded gains of $9.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to undesignated hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations. For the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, we recorded gains of $17.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, related to undesignated hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations.

We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the forward contracts. The terms of the forward contract determine the amount and timing of amounts to be exchanged, and the contract is generally subject to credit risk only when it has a positive fair value.

14. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, performance shares and restricted stock units, if dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Options to purchase a weighted average of 2.7 million and 1.7 million shares were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive. Options to purchase a weighted average of 2.6 million and 1.8 million shares were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive.


15. Fair Value Measurements
GAAP establishes a three level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly or quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the instrument where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
GAAP requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value and disclose the fair value of long-term obligations recorded at cost as of July 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014. As of July 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, we did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
Derivatives: The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.
Term Loan: The fair value of the Term Loan is estimated using discounted cash flows and market conditions.
Senior Notes: The fair market value of the senior notes is estimated based on market quotations of similar instruments at the respective period end.

16. Contingent Liabilities
We establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies related to legal claims asserted against us, as required by GAAP. Developments during the course of legal proceedings may affect our assessments and estimates of our contingencies, which in turn may require us to record or change the amount of a reserve, or make a payment that is different than the amount that we have reserved. In addition, as a normal part of operations, our subsidiaries undertake contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and favorable or unfavorable resolutions may affect the results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe that the outcome of such legal and other matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the normal course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including approximately 3,400 asbestos and silica-related cases), employment

16


and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters and litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business.
As of July 31, 2015, we were contingently liable to banks, financial institutions and others for approximately $172.0 million for outstanding standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees to secure the performance of sales contracts and other third party provided guarantees in the ordinary course of business. Of the $172.0 million, approximately $27.7 million relates to surety bonds and $1.1 million relates to outstanding letters of credit or other guarantees issued by non-U.S. banks for non-U.S. subsidiaries under locally provided credit facilities.
In addition, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement is conducting an investigation concerning our 2012 acquisition of International Mining Machinery Holdings Limited and related accounting matters. We are cooperating with the SEC regarding this investigation, which is ongoing. While it is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of the SEC inquiry, we currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

17. Segment Information
We operate in two reportable segments: Underground and Surface. Crushing and conveying operating results related to surface applications are reported as part of the Surface segment, while total crushing and conveying operating results are included in the Underground segment. Eliminations primarily consist of the surface applications of crushing and conveying included in both operating segments. The results of operations for MTI and Montabert have been included in the Underground segment from their respective acquisition dates forward.
Operating income (loss) of segments does not include interest income and expense, corporate administration expenses and the provision for income taxes.

18. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 provides a single principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps are to (i) identify the contracts with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contact, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year and to permit early adoption by entities as of the original effective dates. Considering the one year deferral, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 27, 2018 and the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and the presentation of our financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. Further, in June 2015, the FASB agreed to clarifying guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission on the presentation of debt issuance costs on revolving debt arrangements, permitting entities to elect that such costs be classified as an asset. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued and entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 29, 2016. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB also issued ASU 2015-04, Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which permits an employer whose fiscal year-end does not coincide with a calendar month end the ability to elect to measure its defined benefit retirement obligations and related plan assets as of the month end that is closest to its fiscal year-end. If elected, this accounting policy is applied consistently on a prospective basis for all plans, with related disclosure of the alternative measurement date used. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning on October 29, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which requires most entities to measure most inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value ("NRV"). This simplifies the evaluation from the current method of lower of cost or market, where market is based upon one of three measures (i.e. replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less a normal profit margin). The ASU does not apply to inventories measured under the last-in, first-out

18


(LIFO) method or the retail inventory method (RIM), and defines NRV as the "estimated selling price in the the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation." The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for the Company beginning on October 28, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.

19. Subsidiary Guarantors for 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes
The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information as of July 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 and for the quarters and nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014 for: (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes issued in November 2006, which include the significant domestic operations of Joy Global Underground Mining LLC, Joy Global Surface Mining Inc, N.E.S. Investment Co., Joy Global Conveyors Inc., Joy Global Longview Operations LLC and certain immaterial wholly owned subsidiaries of Joy Global Longview Operations LLC (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").
The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

20. Subsidiary Guarantors for Credit Agreement, Term Loan and 2021 Notes
The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information as of July 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 and for the quarters and nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014 for: (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and the 2021 Notes issued in October 2011, which include Joy Global Underground Mining LLC, Joy Global Surface Mining Inc, N.E.S. Investment Co., Joy Global Conveyors Inc. and Joy Global Longview Operations LLC (the "Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors"); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").
The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview
Joy Global Inc. is a leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of metals and minerals. We manufacture and market original equipment and parts and perform services for both underground and surface mining, as well as certain industrial applications. Service sales, which include revenues from maintenance and repair services, diagnostic analysis, fabrication, mining equipment and electric motor rebuilds, equipment erection services, training, and sales of replacement parts, account for the remainder of our consolidated sales. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals. We operate in two business segments: Underground and Surface. We are a major manufacturer of underground mining machinery for the extraction and haulage of coal and other bedded minerals. We are also a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction and haulage of copper, coal and other minerals and ores. We offer comprehensive direct service, which includes our smart service offerings, near major mining regions worldwide and provide extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in mining. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, and internationally, including facilities in Australia, Canada, China, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and France.
Operating Results
Quarter Ended July 31, 2015 Compared With Quarter Ended August 1, 2014
Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $792.2 million, compared to $875.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in net sales of $83.5 million, or 10%, in the current year third quarter reflected a decrease in original equipment sales of $56.9 million, or 22%, and a decrease in service sales of $26.6 million, or 4%. Original equipment sales decreased in all regions except North America (which is comprised of the United States and Canada) as well as Australia and Africa. The decrease in original equipment sales was led by Latin America, which includes Mexico, Central America, and South America and which decreased by $46.3 million, and China, which decreased by $27.1 million. Declines in service sales in North America and Africa were partially offset by increases in all other regions. The decrease in service sales was led by North America, which decreased by $49.9 million on lower demand for parts and machine rebuilds, as coal producers continue to face challenging market conditions. Compared to the prior year third quarter, net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $50.1 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $73.4 million, or 9.3% of net sales, compared to $119.3 million, or 13.6% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in operating income of $45.9 million, or 38%, in the current year third quarter was primarily due to margins on lower sales volumes of $26.3 million, a less favorable product mix of $13.9 million, and higher product development, selling, and administrative expenses of $8.0 million. The overall increase in product development, selling, and administrative expenses was driven by increased bad debt expenses in North America and higher overall incentive based compensation expenses, as the prior year included a reassessment of performance related measures which did not recur in the third quarter of 2015. Also contributing to the increase in such costs are higher restructuring costs, $2.3 million of costs related to a non-cash pension settlement charge in Eurasia, and acquisition costs of $0.8 million. All of these increases were partially offset by savings from the Company's cost reduction programs. During the quarter, we also had favorable period costs (defined as any costs of sales other than those costs associated with selling inventory at standard costs) of $2.5 million, inclusive of increased excess purchase accounting charges of $2.7 million on our Montabert acquisition. The overall decrease in period costs was mostly due to lower non-cash pension curtailment charges in North America as the $7.8 million charge incurred in the prior year did not repeat. Compared to the prior year third quarter, operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $7.6 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Net income was $44.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $71.3 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
Bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $635.1 million, compared to $923.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in bookings of $288.4 million, or 31%, in the current year third quarter reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $186.5 million, or 66%, and a decrease in service orders of $101.9 million, or 16%. Original equipment bookings decreased in all regions, except Eurasia. The decrease in original equipment bookings was led by Latin America and China, which decreased $73.9 million and $56.4 million, respectively. Service bookings decreased in all regions except Eurasia, which increased $11.2 million, and Latin America, which was flat. The decline in service bookings was led by North America, which decreased

32


by $87.8 million on lower rebuild and parts activity. Compared to the prior year third quarter, bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $45.8 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Nine Months Ended July 31, 2015 Compared With Nine Months Ended August 1, 2014
Net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 were $2.3 billion, compared to $2.6 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in net sales of $338.1 million, or 13%, in the first nine months of the current year reflected a decrease in original equipment sales of $192.7 million, or 24%, and a decrease in service sales of $145.4 million, or 8%. Original equipment sales decreased in all regions, except North America, which was flat, and Africa. The decrease in original equipment sales was led by Australia and Latin America, which decreased by $58.2 million and $58.0 million, respectively. Service sales decreased in all regions except China. The decrease in service sales was led by Australia and North America, which decreased by $53.6 million and $45.0 million, respectively, on weakened demand for parts and rebuilds. Compared to the first nine months of the prior year, net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 included a $97.3 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $192.4 million, or 8.3% of net sales, compared to $330.3 million, or 12.5% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in operating income of $137.9 million, or 42%, in the first nine months of the current year was primarily due to margins on lower sales volumes of $117.9 million, and a less favorable product mix of $31.2 million, offset by lower product development, selling, and administrative expenses of $0.3 million. Product development, selling, and administrative expenses include $6.2 million of increased restructuring costs versus the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and $15.2 million of non-cash pension settlement charges in Eurasia. These increases were offset by savings from the company's cost reduction programs and by lower incentive based compensation expenses. In addition, the decreases in profit outlined above were partially offset by higher manufacturing cost absorption of $10.9 million, and lower period costs of $4.6 million, inclusive of increased excess purchase accounting charges of $2.8 million year over year. The decline in period costs was led by lower pension curtailment charges in North America of $7.8 million as well as lower incentive based compensation expenses. Compared to the first nine months of the prior year, operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 included a $9.7 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Net income was $107.2 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2015, compared to $194.1 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014.
Bookings in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 were $2.1 billion, compared to $2.8 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in bookings of $751.6 million, or 27%, in the first nine months of the current year reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $461.4 million, or 52%, and a decrease in service orders of $290.2 million, or 15%. Original equipment bookings decreased in all regions. The decrease in original equipment bookings was led by Latin America, China and North America, which decreased $139.3 million, $117.9 million, and $96.0 million, respectively. Bookings declined from the prior year period in part because the 2014 bookings included the Company's first low seam longwall system and a multiple shovel order for a greenfield expansion project in the Canadian oil sands that were not repeated in the current year. Service bookings decreased in all regions. The decrease in service bookings was led by North America, which decreased by $177.4 million. Compared to the first nine months of the prior year, bookings in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 included an $128.4 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Market Outlook
Global macroeconomic trends have weakened further over the last several months and have resulted in lower estimates for growth in 2015. A slower than expected first half in the U.S., along with slowing growth in China, are largely responsible for the revised outlook. The Eurozone has stayed resilient in the face of Greek and Russian issues, with minimal growth expected in the region for 2015. Further decline in commodity prices and re-balancing in China will weigh on growth through the remainder of 2015. Slower economic activity will likely reduce commodity demand, straining market balances and keeping downward pressure on prices.
A slowing global economy has re-introduced concern surrounding the strength of copper demand and has driven related spot price declines. At the same time, refined copper markets have experienced surplus conditions through May which has also weighed on prices. Despite the pricing concerns, mine disruptions thus far in 2015 have resulted in rates of lost production that are characteristic of the copper industry. This dynamic, along with the longer-term expectation for copper to return to a deficit, should continue to elicit investment from projects that have the strongest economic incentives to proceed.
Increasing regulation of carbon emissions as well as an abundant supply of low cost natural gas has created one of the most challenging environments that the U.S. coal market has ever seen. As low natural gas price levels are expected to be maintained

33


for the remainder of the year, this has driven a large reduction in U.S. coal burn through June, with further reductions expected for the remainder of the year. Through July, U.S. coal production has dropped substantially. The combination of the expected continuation of lower natural gas prices along with reduced coal export opportunities is likely to drive a greater than previously expected reduction in total U.S. coal production for the year.
Internationally, thermal coal markets remain well supplied amidst a slowing global demand environment. Chinese coal imports are trending significantly below peak levels and Indian power plant stockpiles are nearly three times higher than they were a year ago, reducing near-term demand.
Headwinds to the global economy have resulted in steel production falling through July, which is driving a decline in met coal demand. While supply curtailments continue to be announced, the decline in demand along with currency related production pressure has left the market in surplus. In addition, it is expected that the fourth quarter met coal prices will fall further from the levels seen at the end of the previous quarter. The impacts of a declining global steel market also continue to affect the iron ore market. The combination of weakening demand and continued strong supply growth has left iron ore prices trending at consistently low levels, although weaker demand going forward could push prices lower.
Overall, the global mining industry remains strained as miners navigate through a sharp and prolonged downturn. Commodity price declines continue to reduce our customers' capital expenditure plans and delay maintenance spending. The weakening of the global economy over the last quarter has further deteriorated the supply and demand imbalances.
Company Outlook
We are continuing to take proactive steps to better position the company for the eventual market recovery. Our focus on cost control and capital management will help mitigate the market softness currently impacting the business. We have exceeded our year-to-date cost savings target, and we will continue to drive cost out of the business over the next several quarters.
We have seen some early successes with our recent acquisition of Montabert and the integration is proceeding well. Our hard rock business is proving to be more resilient to the commodity downturn but not totally immune. We also achieved important new product development milestones as our prototype hybrid excavator and underground electric loader were delivered to hard rock customers. These new products leverage our unique energy efficient electric drive technology for a step function improvement in cost and reliability for the mines.
The ongoing challenges in commodity markets along with slowing global economic growth have weighed on our customers’ financial position and our incoming order rates. Our focus remains on prudently managing the business through the current market downturn as well as providing the world-class service and technical expertise that our customers expect and need. We will continue to invest strategically in areas that provide value to our customers and returns to our shareholders.

Underground net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $453.3 million, compared to $470.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground net sales of $17.4 million, or 4%, in the current year third quarter reflected an increase in original equipment sales of $3.5 million, or 2%, and a decrease in service sales of $21.0 million, or 6%. Original equipment sales increased in Australia and Africa by $23.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively, with decreases in all other regions. The increase in original equipment sales in Australia are mostly due to higher longwall activity in the current year third quarter. Service sales decreased in North America and Africa with increases in all other regions. The decrease in service sales was led by North America, which decreased by $36.7 million mostly on lower demand for parts and rebuilds. Compared to the prior year third quarter, Underground net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $38.7 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Surface net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $362.6 million, compared to $435.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Surface net sales of $72.6 million, or 17%, in the current year third quarter reflected a decrease in original equipment sales of $64.4 million, or 53%, and a decrease in service sales of $8.2 million, or 3%. Original equipment sales decreased in all regions except North America. The decrease in original equipment sales was led by Latin America, which decreased by $46.3 million. Service sales declined in North America and Africa, with increases in all other regions. The decrease in service sales was led by North America, which decreased by $17.6 million. Compared to the prior year third quarter, Surface net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $11.4 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.

Underground operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $34.0 million, or 7.5% of net sales, compared to $47.6 million, or 10.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground operating income of $13.7 million, or 29%, in the current year third quarter was primarily due to margins on lower sales volumes of $7.5 million, a less favorable product mix of $13.8 million and higher product development, selling, and administrative costs of $7.7 million. The overall increase in product development, selling, and administrative costs include $4.3 million of higher bad debt charges, $1.2 million of increased costs for restructuring activities, $2.3 million of non-cash pension settlement charges in Eurasia, and higher legal expenses versus the third quarter of fiscal 2014. These items were partially offset by higher manufacturing cost absorption of $10.9 million and lower period costs of $4.9 million, net of $2.7 million of increased excess purchase accounting charges. Declines in

35


period costs were mostly impacted by the prior year quarter's $7.8 million of pension curtailment charges in North America that did not recur. Compared to the prior year third quarter, Underground operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $7.3 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Surface operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $57.3 million, or 15.8% of net sales, compared to $87.3 million, or 20.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Surface operating income of $30.0 million, or 34%, in the current year third quarter was primarily due to margins on lower sales volumes of $20.8 million, a less favorable product mix of $1.2 million, lower manufacturing cost absorption of $7.9 million, and higher period costs of $2.3 million. These items were partially offset by reduced product development, selling and administrative expenses of $5.3 million, inclusive of $0.3 million of higher restructuring charges, mostly due to savings from the Company's cost reduction programs. Compared to the prior year third quarter, Surface operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $0.3 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Corporate expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $12.5 million, compared to $7.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in corporate expense of $5.5 million, or 78%, is due to $4.4 million of higher incentive based compensation expense in the current year third quarter on our share based compensation plans, as the prior year reassessment of performance related measures did not recur, and to $1.5 million of increased acquisition and legal costs.
Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense
Product development, selling and administrative expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $145.2 million, or 18.3% of net sales, compared to $137.3 million, or 15.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in product development, selling and administrative expense of $8.0 million, or 6%, was due primarily to $4.0 million of additional bad debt expense, greater legal and related charges of $4.0 million, increased restructuring costs of $1.5 million, $2.3 million in non-cash pension settlement charges, higher incentive based compensation expense, and increased acquisition related costs. These cost increases were partially offset by savings from the Company's cost reduction programs. Restructuring activities continued in the quarter to better align the company's workforce and overall cost structure with current and expected future demand.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $13.7 million, compared to $14.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in net interest expense of $1.2 million, or 8%, was primarily due to increased interest earned on interest bearing assets as well as the reduction in the borrowing spreads and commitment fees as a result of the third quarter fiscal 2014 refinancing.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $14.8 million, compared to $33.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate was 24.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to 31.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. A net discrete tax benefit of $0.8 million was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to a benefit of $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter, excluding discrete items, was primarily attributable to a change in geographical mix of projected earnings. The decrease in the effective tax rate was also aided by cash repatriation benefits in the current year third quarter.

Underground bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $365.7 million, compared to $493.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground bookings of $127.4 million, or 26%, in the current year third quarter reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $85.3 million, or 48%, and a decrease in service orders of $42.2 million, or 13%. Original equipment orders decreased in all regions except Eurasia. The largest decline in original equipment bookings occurred in China, which decreased $37.1 million on lower longwall equipment orders. Service orders decreased in all regions except Eurasia. The decrease in service orders was led by North America, which decreased by $38.8 million, primarily due to lower demand for parts and rebuilds. Compared to the prior year third quarter, Underground bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $30.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Surface bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $325.6 million, compared to $482.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Underground net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 were $1.3 billion, compared to $1.5 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground net sales of $204.2 million, or 14%, in the first nine months of the current year reflected a decrease in original equipment sales of $116.4 million, or 24%, and a decrease in service sales of $87.8 million, or 9%. Original equipment sales decreased in all regions except Africa. The decrease in original equipment sales was led by China and Australia, which decreased by $52.5 million and $40.7 million, respectively. Service sales decreased in all regions except China. The decrease in service sales was led by Australia and Africa, which decreased by $42.9 million and $30.3 million, respectively, due to decreased rebuild and parts sales in those regions. Compared to the first nine months of the prior year, Underground net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 included a $70.2 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Surface net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 were $1.1 billion, compared to $1.3 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2014.

Underground operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $106.7 million, or 8.5% of net sales, compared to $177.8 million, or 12.1% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground operating income of $71.1 million, or 40%, in the first nine months of the current year was primarily due to margins on lower sales volumes of $71.0 million, a less favorable product mix of $21.8 million and increased product development, selling, and administrative costs of $13.6 million. The increased product development, selling, and administrative expenses include higher restructuring costs of $2.8 million, $15.2 million of non-cash pension settlement charges in Eurasia, and increased bad debt expenses of $2.3 million, partially offset by lower incentive based compensation. During the year, we also had higher manufacturing cost absorption of $18.9 million and lower period costs of $18.7 million, inclusive of $2.8 million in excess purchase accounting charges, all of which partially offset the declines outlined above. Period costs were lower due to $7.8 million of pension curtailment charges that were incurred in North America in the prior year and which did not repeat in the current year, as well as favorable manufacturing cost variances. Compared to the first nine months of the prior year, Underground operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 included a $9.6 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Surface operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $142.9 million, or 12.6% of net sales, compared to $216.0 million, or 16.9% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Surface operating income of $73.1 million, or 34%, in the first nine months of the current year was primarily due to margins on lower sales volumes of $51.2 million, a less favorable product mix of $12.6 million, lower manufacturing cost absorption of $8.0 million, and higher period costs of $14.2 million. These items were partially offset by reduced product development, selling and administrative expenses of $14.5 million, inclusive of $4.0 million of increased restructuring costs. Compared to the first nine months of the prior year, Surface operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 included a $0.1 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Corporate expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $36.7 million, compared to $35.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The increase in corporate expense of $1.2 million, or 3%, is primarily due to higher incentive based compensation costs as well as increased acquisition and legal related costs, partially offset by administrative cost reduction efforts.

Product development, selling and administrative expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $444.6 million, or 19.3% of net sales, compared to $444.8 million, or 16.8% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in product development, selling and administrative expense of $0.3 million, or 0.1%, was due primarily to cost savings from the Company's previous restructuring programs and lower incentive based compensation expense, partially offset by $15.2 million of non-cash pension settlement charges and $6.2 million of incremental charges for restructuring activities undertaken in the current fiscal year. Restructuring activities continued in the first nine months of 2015 to better align the company's workforce and overall cost structure with current and expected future demand.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $39.9 million, compared to $42.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in net interest expense of $2.7 million, or 6%, was primarily due to the reduction in the borrowing spreads and commitment fees as a result of the third quarter fiscal 2014 refinancing, as well as increased interest earned on interest bearing assets.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $45.3 million, compared to $93.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate was 29.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2015, compared to 32.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. Net discrete tax expense of $0.8 million was recorded in the first nine months of

38


fiscal 2015, compared to a benefit of $1.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the period, excluding discrete items, was primarily attributable to a change in geographical mix of projected earnings.

Underground bookings in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 were $1.2 billion, compared to $1.4 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Underground bookings of $222.1 million, or 16%, in the first nine months of the current year reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $126.2 million, or 27%, and a decrease in service orders of $96.0 million, or 10%. Original equipment orders decreased in all regions except North America, which increased $42.4 million, or 34%. The largest declines were seen in China and Eurasia, which decreased by $95.1 million and $51.4 million, respectively. Prior year original equipment orders included the booking of the first high productivity low seam longwall system in Eurasia, which did not repeat, whereas the lower China volumes are being unfavorably impacted by lower longwall equipment demand. Service orders decreased in all regions. The decrease in service orders was led by North America, which decreased by $41.7 million due to lower demand for parts and rebuilds. Compared to the first nine months of the prior year, Underground bookings in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 included a $94.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, due primarily to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar and South African rand relative to the U.S. dollar.
Surface bookings in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 were $1.0 billion, compared to $1.5 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in Surface bookings of $535.8 million, or 35%, in the first nine months of the current year reflected a decrease in original equipment bookings of $334.3 million, or 72%, and a decrease in service orders of $201.6 million, or 19%. Original equipment orders decreased in all regions except Eurasia. The decrease in original equipment orders was led by Latin America and North America, which decreased by $139.3 million and $119.5 million, respectively. Bookings declined in part because the prior year included a multiple shovel order for a greenfield expansion project in the Canadian oil sands that was not repeated. Service orders decreased in all regions except China and Africa. The decrease in service orders was led by North America, which declined by $143.8 million. Compared to the first nine months of the prior year, Surface bookings in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 included an $33.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Backlog represents unfilled customer orders for our original equipment and service, exclusive of long-term maintenance and repair arrangements and life cycle management arrangements.

We currently use trade working capital and cash flows from continuing operations as two financial measurements to evaluate the performance of our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. We require trade working capital investment because our direct service model requires us to maintain certain inventory levels in order to maximize our customers’ machine availability. This information also provides management with a focus on our receivable terms and collectability efforts and our ability to obtain advance payments on original equipment orders. As part of the continuous improvement of our purchasing and manufacturing processes, we continue to strive for alignment of inventory levels with customer demand and current production schedules.
Cash provided by continuing operating activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $168.7 million, compared to $298.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in cash provided by continuing operations was primarily due to lower earnings, an increase in inventories, and decreases in amounts owed to trade vendors, partially offset by increased advance payments and progress billings.
Cash used by investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $167.5 million, compared to $107.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily due to $67.0 million of higher acquisition costs related to the acquisition of Montabert in the first nine months of the current fiscal year as compared to those incurred for the acquisition of MTI in the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. This increased cash use was partially offset by a reduction in non-acquisition related capital expenditures.
Cash used by financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $116.9 million, compared to $287.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease in cash used by financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in share repurchases and a decrease in required repayments made on the Term Loan due to the change in the repayment schedule associated with the debt refinancing that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
On May 19, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was paid on June 18, 2015 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on June 4, 2015. In addition, on August 18, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 18, 2015 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on September 4, 2015.
Restructuring Programs
Restructuring activities continued in the first nine months of 2015 to better align the company's workforce and overall cost structure with current and expected future demand. For the 2015 fiscal year, total restructuring charges under 2015 programs are anticipated to be between $30.0 million and $40.0 million, with $10.0 million to $20.0 million of such costs anticipated in the fourth quarter as the Company continues to optimize its global manufacturing footprint. These ranges include expected costs for activities not yet implemented. Total expected cash costs related to the 2015 programs are estimated to be approximately $24.0 million for employee severance and termination costs, with the remaining expected charges consisting primarily of non-cash property, plant, and equipment items.

Quarterly Dividend Process
Beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 (December 2015), we will align the announcement of dividend payments with our release of quarterly earnings information. We will maintain similar periods between dividend declaration dates, record dates, and payment dates following this alignment.
Retiree Benefits
We sponsor pension plans in the U.S. and in other countries. The significance of the funding requirements of these plans is largely dependent on the value of the plan assets, the investment returns on the plan assets, actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, and the impact of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. For the nine months ended July 31, 2015, we contributed $12.1 million to our defined benefit employee pension plans. We expect contributions to our defined benefit pension plans to be less than $15.0 million for the full fiscal year.
In conjunction with a UK law change, we recorded non-cash pension settlement charges of $2.3 million and $15.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2015, respectively, as a result of the decision of certain individuals to transfer their benefit out of the Company's defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution plan.
Similarly, during the quarter and nine months ended August 1, 2014, a $7.8 million non-cash pension curtailment charge was recorded in conjunction with the substantial completion of negotiations with certain of our U.S. bargaining units, resulting in the freezing of their respective defined benefit plans at the end of the 2014 calendar year.
Credit Agreement
On July 29, 2014, we entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on July 29, 2019. Under the Credit Agreement, we also may request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement simultaneously replaced the $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement dated as of October 12, 2012 that was scheduled to expire on November 12, 2017. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one week or one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company's credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its "prime rate," or (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company's credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders if we are not in compliance with the financial covenants in the agreement. As of July 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and had no restrictions on the payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders.
As of July 31, 2015, there were no direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014 is $0.4 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and August 1, 2014, total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement was $0.9 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $1.0 billion credit limit, totaled $143.2 million. As of July 31, 2015, there was $856.8 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
On July 29, 2014, we also entered into a term loan agreement which matures July 29, 2019 and provides for a commitment of up to $375.0 million. The Term Loan replaced our prior term loan, dated as of June 16, 2011. The Prior Term Loan had been scheduled to mature on July 16, 2016 and provided an initial commitment of $500.0 million, which had been drawn in full in conjunction with our fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. and had been amortized to $375.0 million at the date that we entered into the Term Loan. We utilized the $375.0 million commitment under the Term Loan to repay the balance outstanding under the Prior Term Loan. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning in fiscal 2016 and contains terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of July 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.

41


On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 at a discount of $4.2 million in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.
In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036. Interest on the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.3% for the 2016 Notes and 0.375% for the 2036 Notes.
Stock Repurchase Program
In August 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of our common stock until August 2016. Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations. During the quarter ended July 31, 2015, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. During the quarter ended August 1, 2014, we purchased 1,091,602 shares of common stock for approximately $64.8 million. During the nine months ended July 31, 2015, we purchased 954,580 shares of common stock for approximately $50.0 million, all purchases of which occurred during the first quarter. During the nine months ended August 1, 2014, we purchased 3,488,312 shares of common stock for approximately $194.3 million. Since its inception, the Company has repurchased 9,771,605 shares of common stock under the program for approximately $533.4 million, leaving $466.6 million available under the program.
Advance Payments and Progress Billings
As part of the negotiation process associated with original equipment orders, contracts generally require advance payments and progress billings from our customers to support the procurement of inventory and other resources. As of July 31, 2015, advance payments and progress billings were $297.7 million. As orders are shipped or costs are incurred, the advance payments and progress billings are recognized as revenue in the consolidated financial statements.
Financial Condition
We believe our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to meet our projected needs. We had $140.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of July 31, 2015 and $856.8 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Requirements for working capital, dividends, pension contributions, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases and principal and interest payments on our Term Loan and Senior Notes will be adequately funded by cash on hand and continuing operations, supplemented by short and long term borrowings, as required.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, which is principally the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairment was identified related to our finite-lived intangible assets as of July 31, 2015.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units, and is tested for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Due to the prolonged suppressed global commodity markets, its related effect on the global mining investment environment and the resulting impact on our stock price, our total shareholders’ equity exceeded our market capitalization during the latter part of the quarter ended July 31, 2015, indicating the possibility of an impairment to goodwill. Based on this indicator of impairment, we performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill as of the last day of our fiscal third quarter. We have concluded our step one evaluation on our reporting units. After completing this analysis, we determined that the estimated fair value of our Underground reporting unit was lower than the carrying value of the reporting unit.

42


Given the timing of the decline in our market capitalization, we have not completed step two of the goodwill impairment test for this reporting unit, which will determine the amount of impairment loss, if any, for our Underground reporting unit. Step two of the impairment test requires we perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for the Underground reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill to the recorded amount of goodwill. We have engaged a third party valuation firm to assist in this process. We are unable to provide a reasonable estimate or a range of estimates for the potential non-cash impairment charge at this time. We will complete the analysis during the fourth quarter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We lease various assets under operating leases. No significant changes to lease commitments have occurred since our year ended October 31, 2014. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventory, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty, pension and postretirement benefits and costs, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We believe our accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, accrued warranties, pension and postretirement benefits and costs and income taxes are the policies that most frequently require us to make estimates and judgments, and therefore are critical to the understanding of our results of operations. See Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014 for a discussion of these policies.
As discussed throughout this Form 10-Q, due to the prolonged suppressed global commodities markets, its related impact on the global mining investment environment, and the resulting impact on our stock price, our total shareholders' equity exceeded our market capitalization during the latter part of the quarter ended July 31, 2015, indicating a possibility of an impairment to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units, which we have identified as our operating segments, and is tested for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to their book value. We generally first determine, based on a qualitative assessment, whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we then determine the fair value of the reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the impairment test continues by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit’s identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole, as if that reporting unit had just been acquired and the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed were being determined initially. If goodwill is impaired, we recognize a non-cash impairment loss based on the amount by which the book value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Qualitative assessments regarding goodwill involve a high degree of judgment and can entail subjective considerations. The discounted cash flow model involves many assumptions, including operating results forecasts and discount rates. Inherent in the operating results forecasts are certain assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, projected cost saving initiatives and projected long-term growth rates in the determination of terminal values. Due to the impairment indicator identified above, we performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill as of the last day of our fiscal third quarter. We have concluded our step one evaluation on our reporting units. After completing this analysis, we determined that the estimated fair value of our Underground reporting unit was lower than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Given the timing of the decline in our market capitalization, we have not completed step two of the goodwill impairment test for this reporting unit, which will determine the amount of impairment loss, if any, for our Underground reporting unit. Step two of the impairment test requires we perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for the Underground reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill to the recorded amount of goodwill. We have engaged a third party valuation firm to assist in this process. We are unable to provide a reasonable estimate or a range of estimates for the potential non-cash impairment charge at this time. We will complete the analysis during the fourth quarter.

43


Other than the discussion on goodwill above, there were no material changes to these policies since our year ended October 31, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Our new accounting pronouncements are set forth under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014, we are exposed to various types of market risks, such as interest rate risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency risk. We monitor our risks on a continuous basis and generally enter into forward foreign currency contracts to minimize our foreign currency exposures. We do not engage in speculation in our derivative strategies. Gains and losses from foreign currency contract activities are offset by changes in the underlying costs of the transactions being hedged. There have been no material changes to our primary market risk exposures or how such risks are managed since our year ended October 31, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known on a timely basis to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective (1) in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our quarter ended July 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the normal course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including approximately 3,400 asbestos and silica-related cases), employment and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters and litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business.

SEC Investigation. Since the fourth quarter of 2014, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement has been conducting an investigation concerning our 2012 acquisition of International Mining Machinery Holdings Limited and related accounting matters. This investigation is discussed in Note 16, Contingent Liabilities, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.

Delaware Chancery Litigation. As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended May 1, 2015, we reached an agreement with the plaintiff to pay its legal counsel fees of $0.3 million, following which the court entered a Stipulation and Order dismissing the suit on June 5, 2015.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are conducting an interim review of our goodwill, which may lead to future goodwill impairment charges or other asset impairment charges that may have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill and other intangible assets, the carrying value of which may be reduced if we determine that those assets are impaired. We evaluate our goodwill and long-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in our fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. Our total shareholders’ equity exceeded our market capitalization during the latter part of the quarter ended July 31, 2015, indicating the possibility of an impairment to goodwill and other intangible assets, which totaled $1.9 billion, or approximately 35% of our total assets, as of July 31, 2015. Based upon this indicator of impairment, we performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill as of the last day of our fiscal third quarter and as of the date of this report, we have concluded our step one evaluation of our reporting units, noting that our Underground estimated fair value was lower than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Given the timing of the decline in our market capitalization, we have not completed step two of the goodwill impairment test for this reporting unit, which will determine the amount of impairment loss, if any, for our Underground reporting unit. Step two of the impairment test requires we perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for the Underground reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill to the recorded amount of goodwill. We have engaged a third party valuation firm to assist in this process. We are unable to provide a reasonable estimate or a range of estimates for the potential non-cash impairment charge at this time. We will complete the analysis during the fourth quarter. Because of the significance of our goodwill and other intangible assets, the results of the step 2 impairment analysis could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Except for the change in risks surrounding impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets discussed above, during the quarter ended July 31, 2015, there were no other material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.
