NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017
(In thousands, except as noted and per share amounts)

NOTE 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NACCO Industries, Inc. (the “parent company” or “NACCO”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “NACCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company's subsidiaries operate in the following principal industries: mining, consumer, commercial and specialty small appliances and specialty retail. The Company manages its subsidiaries primarily by industry.
 
The North American Coal Corporation and its affiliated companies (collectively, “NACoal”) mine coal primarily for use in power generation and provide value-added services for natural resource companies. Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”) is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of branded small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. The Kitchen Collection, LLC (“KC”) is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware in outlet and traditional malls throughout the United States.

NACoal has the following operating coal mining subsidiaries: Bisti Fuels Company, LLC ("Bisti"), Caddo Creek Resources Company, LLC (“Caddo Creek”), Camino Real Fuels, LLC (“Camino Real”), The Coteau Properties Company (“Coteau”), Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (“Coyote Creek”), Demery Resources Company, LLC (“Demery”), The Falkirk Mining Company (“Falkirk”), Liberty Fuels Company, LLC (“Liberty”), Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (“MLMC”) and The Sabine Mining Company (“Sabine”).

All of the operating coal mining subsidiaries other than MLMC are unconsolidated (collectively the "Unconsolidated Mines"). The Unconsolidated Mines were formed to develop, construct and/or operate surface coal mines under long-term contracts and are capitalized primarily with debt financing provided by or supported by their respective customers, and without recourse to NACCO and NACoal. The contracts with the customers of the Unconsolidated Mines provide for reimbursement to the company at a price based on actual costs plus an agreed upon pre-tax profit per ton of coal sold or actual costs plus an agreed upon fee per btu of heating value delivered. The fees earned at each mine adjust over time in line with various indices which reflect general U.S. inflation rates.  

Although NACoal owns 100% of the equity and manages the daily operations of the Unconsolidated Mines, the Company has determined that the equity capital provided by NACoal is not sufficient to adequately finance the ongoing activities or absorb any expected losses without additional support from the customers. The customers have a controlling financial interest and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entities. As a result, NACoal is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate these entities' financial position or results of operations. The income taxes resulting from operations of the Unconsolidated Mines are solely the responsibility of the Company. The pre-tax income from the Unconsolidated Mines is reported on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated mines” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with related taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The Company has included the pre-tax earnings of the Unconsolidated Mines above operating profit as they are an integral component of the Company's business and operating results.

MLMC is a consolidated entity because NACoal pays all operating costs and provides the capital for the mine. MLMC sells coal to its customer at a contractually agreed upon price which adjusts monthly, primarily based on changes in the level of established indices which reflect general U.S. inflation rates. Centennial Natural Resources, LLC ("Centennial"), which ceased coal production in the fourth quarter of 2015, is also a consolidated entity.

NACoal provides value-added mining services for independently owned limerock quarries through its North American Mining ("NAM") division. NAM is reimbursed by its customers based on actual costs plus a management fee. The financial results for NAM are included in consolidated mining operations or unconsolidated mining operations based on each entity's structure.

NACoal also provides coal handling, processing and drying services for a number of customers. For example, NoDak Energy Services, LLC ("NoDak") operates and maintains a coal processing facility for a customer's power plant. The pre-tax income from NoDak is reported on the line "Income from other unconsolidated affiliates" in the "Other (income) expense" section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the related income taxes included in the provision for income taxes.

American Coal Royalty Company, a consolidated entity, provides surface and mineral acquisition and lease maintenance services related to the Company's operations.

All of the unconsolidated subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 6 for further discussion.

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2017 and the results of its operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 have been included. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2017. The HBB and KC businesses are seasonal and a majority of revenues and operating profit typically occurs in the second half of the calendar year when sales of consumer, commercial and specialty small appliances to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday selling season. For further information regarding seasonality of these businesses, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB codified in ASC 606, "Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers and provide additional disclosures. As amended, the effective date for public entities is annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The Company anticipates adopting the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized as an adjustment to equity. The Company has developed a project plan with respect to its implementation of this standard, including identification of revenue streams and review of contracts and procedures currently in place. To date, the Company has completed its initial review of the revenue streams related to its HBB and KC subsidiaries.  The Company is in the process of completing its review of customer contracts at its NACoal subsidiary and developing its conclusions on several aspects of the standard including identification of performance obligations and principal versus agent considerations.  The Company is also in the process of identifying and implementing any necessary changes to processes and controls to meet the standard's updated reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company continues to assess the potential impact of the standard and has not yet reached a conclusion as to how the adoption of the standard will impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The adoption of this guidance will result in increased disclosures to help users of financial statements understand the nature, amount and timing of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts.
 


In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; changes presentation and disclosure requirements; and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.  




In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)," which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. ASU 2016-02

Table of Contents

is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating how and to what extent ASU 2016-02 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

NOTE 4—Stockholders' Equity

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

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2016 Stock Repurchase Program.

Bellaire Corporation (“Bellaire”) is a non-operating subsidiary of the Company with legacy liabilities relating to closed mining operations, primarily former Eastern U.S. underground coal mining operations. In connection with Bellaire's normal permit renewal with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP"), Bellaire established a $5.0 million mine water treatment trust (the "Mine Water Treatment Trust") to provide a financial assurance mechanism to assure the long-term treatment of post-mining discharges. Bellaire's Mine Water Treatment Trust invests in available for sale securities that are reported at fair value based upon quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets; therefore, they are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company uses significant other observable inputs to value derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risk; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value for these contracts is determined based on exchange rates and interest rates, respectively.

There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

NOTE 6—Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

NACoal's wholly owned unconsolidated subsidiaries each meet the definition of a variable interest entity. See Note 1 for a discussion of these entities.

The investment in the unconsolidated subsidiaries and related tax positions totaled $27.3 million, $31.1 million and $30.6 million at June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The Company's maximum risk of loss relating to these entities is limited to its invested capital, which was $5.3 million, $4.6 million and $4.8 million at June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively.

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

NOTE 7—Contingencies

Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against NACCO and certain subsidiaries relating to the conduct of their businesses, including product liability, patent infringement, asbestos-related claims, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business of the Company. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and which are material, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, in some circumstances, an estimate of the possible loss. 

These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.

Environmental matters

HBB is investigating or remediating historical environmental contamination at some current and former sites operated by HBB or by businesses it acquired. Based on the current stage of the investigation or remediation at each known site, HBB estimates the total investigation and remediation costs and the period of assessment and remediation activity required for each site. The estimate of future investigation and remediation costs is primarily based on variables associated with site clean-up, including, but not limited to, physical characteristics of the site, the nature and extent of the contamination and applicable regulatory programs and remediation standards. No assessment can fully characterize all subsurface conditions at a site. There is no assurance that additional assessment and remediation efforts will not result in adjustments to estimated remediation costs or the

11

Table of Contents

time frame for remediation at these sites.

HBB's estimates of investigation and remediation costs may change if it discovers contamination at additional sites or additional contamination at known sites, if the effectiveness of its current remediation efforts change, if applicable federal or state regulations change or if HBB's estimate of the time required to remediate the sites changes. HBB's revised estimates may differ materially from original estimates.

At June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, HBB had accrued undiscounted obligations of $8.9 million, $8.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, for environmental investigation and remediation activities. In addition, HBB estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional expenses in the range of zero to $5.2 million related to the environmental investigation and remediation at these sites.

NOTE 8—Business Segments

NACCO is a holding company with the following principal subsidiaries: NACoal, HBB and KC. See Note 1 for a discussion of the Company's industries and product lines. NACCO's non-operating segment, NACCO and Other, includes the accounts of the parent company and Bellaire.
 
Financial information for each of NACCO's reportable segments is presented in the following table. The line “Eliminations” in the Revenues section eliminates revenues from HBB sales to KC. The amounts of these revenues are based on current market prices of similar third-party transactions. No other sales transactions occur among reportable segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of NACCO

Although NACCO's subsidiaries have entered into substantial borrowing agreements, NACCO has not guaranteed any borrowings of its subsidiaries. The borrowing agreements at NACoal, HBB and KC allow for the payment to NACCO of dividends and advances under certain circumstances. Dividends (to the extent permitted by its subsidiaries' borrowing agreements) and management fees from its subsidiaries are the primary sources of cash for NACCO.

The Company believes funds available from cash on hand, its subsidiaries' credit facilities and anticipated funds generated from operations are sufficient to finance all of the subsidiaries' scheduled principal repayments, and its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of its subsidiaries' credit facilities.

SEGMENT RESULTS

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION

NACoal mines coal primarily for use in power generation and provides value-added mining services for natural resource companies. Coal is surface mined from NACoal's mines in North Dakota, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. NACoal provides value-added services such as maintaining and operating draglines for independently owned limerock quarries through its North American Mining ("NAM") division and providing ash hauling services for power plants and other facilities.

NACoal has the following operating coal mining subsidiaries: Bisti Fuels Company, LLC ("Bisti"), Caddo Creek Resources Company, LLC (“Caddo Creek”), Camino Real Fuels, LLC (“Camino Real”), The Coteau Properties Company (“Coteau”), Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (“Coyote Creek”), Demery Resources Company, LLC (“Demery”), The Falkirk Mining Company (“Falkirk”), Liberty Fuels Company, LLC (“Liberty”), Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (“MLMC”) and The Sabine Mining Company (“Sabine”). Centennial Natural Resources, LLC ("Centennial"), which ceased coal production in the fourth quarter of 2015, was also a coal mining subsidiary.

NAM provides value-added services for independently owned limerock quarries and is reimbursed by its customers based on actual costs plus a management fee. The financial results for NAM are included in the consolidated mining operations or unconsolidated mining operations based on each entity's structure.

NACoal also provides coal handling, processing and drying services for a number of customers. For example, NoDak Energy Services, LLC ("NoDak") operates and maintains a coal processing facility for a customer's power plant. North American Coal Royalty Company provides surface and mineral acquisition and lease maintenance services related to the Company's operations.

Operating profit increased $7.6 million in the first six months of 2017 compared with the first six months of 2016 primarily due to a $2.3 million gain on the sale of a dragline at Centennial, an increase in earnings of unconsolidated mines, as new mines began or increased production, and improved results in royalty and other. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in results at the consolidated mines, principally MLMC. The decrease at MLMC was primarily due to an increase in total cost of sales, which includes both production costs and changes in inventory. The first six months of 2017 includes the recognition of production costs previously capitalized into inventory compared with the capitalization of production costs into inventory in the first six months of 2016.

NACoal recognized net income of $17.7 million in the first six months of 2017 compared with net income of $11.6 million in the first six months of 2016. The change in net income was primarily due to the factors affecting operating profit.

The change in net cash used for financing activities was primarily from a significant reduction in borrowings on NACoal's revolving credit facility during the first six months of 2017 when compared with the first six months of 2016.

Financing Activities

NACoal has an unsecured revolving line of credit of up to $225.0 million (the “NACoal Facility”) that expires in November 2018. Borrowings outstanding under the NACoal Facility were $60.0 million at June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, the excess availability under the NACoal Facility was $163.6 million, which reflects a reduction for outstanding letters of credit of $1.4 million.

The NACoal Facility has performance-based pricing, which sets interest rates based upon achieving various levels of debt to EBITDA ratios, as defined in the NACoal Facility. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus a margin based on the level of debt to EBITDA ratio achieved. The applicable margins, effective June 30, 2017, for base rate and LIBOR loans were 0.75% and 1.75%, respectively. The NACoal Facility has a commitment fee which is based upon achieving various levels of debt to EBITDA ratios. The commitment fee was 0.25% on the unused commitment at June 30, 2017. The floating rate of interest applicable to the NACoal Facility at June 30, 2017 was 3.39% including the floating rate margin and the effect of the interest rate swap agreement.

The NACoal Facility contains restrictive covenants, which require, among other things, NACoal to maintain a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 and an interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.00 to 1.00. The NACoal Facility provides the ability to make loans, dividends and advances to NACCO, with some restrictions based on maintaining a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 in conjunction with maintaining unused availability thresholds of borrowing capacity, as defined in the NACoal Facility, of $15.0 million. At June 30, 2017, NACoal was in compliance with all financial covenants in the NACoal Facility.

NACoal believes funds available from cash on hand at the Company, the NACoal Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the NACoal Facility.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

Since December 31, 2016, there have been no significant changes in the total amount of NACoal's contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 48 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. See Note 6 for a discussion of certain guarantees related to Coyote Creek.

Capital Expenditures

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $5.7 million during the first six months of 2017. NACoal estimates that its capital expenditures for the remainder of 2017 will be an additional $9.2 million, primarily for land and machinery and equipment at MLMC. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

The increase in other net tangible assets during the first six months of 2017 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable from unconsolidated subsidiaries. The change in cash and cash equivalents was primarily from a significant reduction in borrowings on NACoal's revolving credit facility during the first six months of of 2017.

OUTLOOK

NACoal expects an increase in tons sold in the second half of 2017 compared with the second half of 2016 and expects a moderate increase in tons sold over the first half of 2017. Income before income tax is also expected to increase in the remainder of 2017 compared with the second half of 2016, resulting in a substantial increase in full-year 2017 income before income tax, including and excluding the effect of Centennial's 2016 asset impairment and legal resolution charges.

Income before income tax in the second half of 2017 is expected to benefit from lower lease-related expenses and lower employee-related costs. These improvements are expected to be partially offset by a substantial decrease in MLMC's
second-half 2017 results compared with both the prior year and first half of 2017, primarily as a result of reduced customer requirements, and lower results from NAM's consolidated limerock mining operations. For the second half of 2017, Centennial's operating loss is expected to be comparable to the second half of 2016, excluding Centennial's 2016 impairment charge, legal resolution charges and mine reclamation adjustment. Centennial will continue to evaluate strategies to optimize cash flow, including the continued assessment of a range of strategies for its remaining Alabama mineral reserves, including holding reserves with substantial unmined coal tons for sale or contract mining when conditions permit. Cash expenditures related to mine reclamation will continue until reclamation is complete, or ownership of, or responsibility for, the remaining mines is transferred.

Income before income tax for the second half of 2017 is also expected to benefit from an increase in earnings from the unconsolidated mining operations due to the start of production at Bisti on January 1, 2017. In addition, at NAM's unconsolidated operations, mining commenced in 2016 at additional limerock quarries for an existing customer and for a new customer, and in June 2017, NAM signed a new contract with a new limerock customer for operations that commenced in July 2017. All of these new NAM operations are also expected to contribute to the increase in income from the unconsolidated mining operations.

In 2016, one of NACoal's unconsolidated mines, Liberty, began delivering coal to its customer, Mississippi Power Company, for facility testing and commissioning at Mississippi Power's Kemper County energy facility. On June 28, 2017, Southern Company and its subsidiary, Mississippi Power, issued a press release announcing they were immediately suspending start-up and operations activities involving the coal gasifier portion of the Kemper County energy facility. Liberty is the sole supplier of coal to fuel the gasifier. At this time, the future of the Kemper County coal gasification facility is uncertain, and therefore the future of the Liberty Mine is uncertain. NACoal will continue to operate under its contract with Mississippi Power and will support its customer pending a final decision on the continued operation of the gasifier and the Liberty Mine. The terms of the contract specify that Mississippi Power is responsible for all mine closure costs, should that be required, with the Liberty Mine specified as the contractor to complete final mine closure. Should the decision to suspend operations of the gasifier and mine become permanent, it will unfavorably affect NACoal's long-term earnings under its contract with Mississippi Power. This reduction in earnings would unfavorably affect NACoal's longer-term goal to increase the earnings of its unconsolidated operations by approximately 50% from the 2012 level of $42.5 million. Production levels at Liberty were expected to increase gradually and build to full production of approximately 4.5 million tons of coal annually beginning in 2023.

Table of Contents

While the current regulatory environment for development of new coal projects has improved, continued low natural gas prices and growth in renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, could unfavorably affect the amount of electricity generation attributable to coal-fired power plants over the longer term. NACoal will be re-evaluating its outlook for its coal deliveries to its customers' coal-fired power plants, and commensurate with this, its long-term financial goal. NACoal expects to continue efforts to develop opportunities for new or expanded coal mining projects, although future opportunities are likely to be very limited. In addition, NACoal continues to pursue additional non-coal mining opportunities, principally related to its NAM business and where it might provide other value-added services.
    
Cash flow before financing activities is expected to be strong in 2017 but decrease significantly in both the second half and for the full year compared with the same periods in 2016. Capital expenditures are estimated to be approximately $15 million in 2017, of which $5.7 million was expended in the first half of 2017.

HBB's operating profit increased $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared with the second quarter of 2016 as a result of an increase in gross profit. The improvement in gross margin, which was 21.3% in the second quarter of 2017 compared with 20.2% in the second quarter of 2016, resulted primarily from lower costs as well as a shift in sales mix to higher-margin and higher-priced products. This was partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses due to $0.9 million of higher employee-related costs. 

HBB recognized net income of $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared with net income of $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to the factors affecting operating profit.

HBB's operating profit increased $1.2 million, or 24.8%, in the first six months of 2017 compared with the first six months of 2016 as a result of an increase in gross profit. The improvement in gross margin, which was 20.6% in the first six months of 2017 compared with 19.3% in the first six months of 2016, was due to lower costs and a shift in sales mix to higher-margin and higher-priced products. This was partially offset by increased transportation and warehouse costs as well as lower sales volumes. An increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily due to $1.3 million of higher employee-related costs, also partially offset the improvement in operating profit.. 

HBB recognized net income of $3.9 million in the first six months of 2017 compared with net income of $2.7 million in the first six months of 2016 primarily due to the factors affecting operating profit and an increase in the foreign currency gain in the first six months of 2017 compared with the first six months of 2016.

Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities changed by $34.0 million in the first six months of 2017 compared with the first six months of 2016 primarily as a result of the change in working capital. The change in working capital was mainly due to a decrease in accounts payable during the first six months of 2017 compared with an increase in accounts payable during 2016, and an increase in inventory during the first six months of 2017 compared with a decrease in inventory during 2016. The changes in accounts payable and inventory were primarily attributable to the timing of purchases due in part to higher forecasted sales for the second half of 2017, as well as lower sales in the first six months of 2017 compared with the sales forecast.

Financing Activities

HBB has a $115.0 million senior secured floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “HBB Facility”) that expires in June 2021. The obligations under the HBB Facility are secured by substantially all of HBB's assets. The approximate book value of HBB's assets held as collateral under the HBB Facility was $234.8 million as of June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, the borrowing base under the HBB Facility was $104.0 million and borrowings outstanding under the HBB Facility were $47.1 million. At June 30, 2017, the excess availability under the HBB Facility was $56.9 million.

The maximum availability under the HBB Facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against eligible accounts receivable, inventory and trademarks of the borrowers, as defined in the HBB Facility. Adjustments to reserves booked against these assets, including inventory reserves, will change the eligible borrowing base and thereby impact the liquidity provided by the HBB Facility. A portion of the availability is denominated in Canadian dollars to provide funding to HBB's Canadian subsidiary. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate, which can be a base rate or LIBOR, as defined in the HBB Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective June 30, 2017, for base rate loans and LIBOR loans

denominated in U.S. dollars were 0.00% and 1.50%, respectively. The applicable margins, effective June 30, 2017, for base rate loans and bankers' acceptance loans denominated in Canadian dollars were 0.00% and 1.50%, respectively. The HBB Facility also required a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused commitment. The margins and unused commitment fee under the HBB Facility are subject to quarterly adjustment based on average excess availability. The floating rate of interest applicable to the HBB Facility at June 30, 2017 was 2.94% including the floating rate margin and the effect of interest rate swap agreements discussed below.

To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, HBB has entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of the HBB Facility. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require HBB to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. HBB has interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $20.0 million at June 30, 2017 at an average fixed rate of 1.4%. HBB also has delayed start interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $25.0 million at June 30, 2017, with fixed rates of 1.6% and 1.7%.

The HBB Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends to NACCO, subject to achieving availability thresholds. Dividends are discretionary to the extent that for the thirty days prior to the dividend payment date, and after giving effect to the dividend payment, HBB maintains excess availability of not less than $25.0 million. The HBB Facility also requires HBB to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio in certain circumstances, as defined in the HBB Facility. At June 30, 2017, HBB was in compliance with all financial covenants in the HBB Facility.

HBB believes funds available from cash on hand at the Company, the HBB Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the HBB Facility.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

In the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were no significant changes in the total amount of HBB's contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 55 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Capital Expenditures

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $1.9 million for the first six months of 2017 and are estimated to be an additional $4.8 million for the remainder of 2017. These planned capital expenditures are primarily for tooling for new products and improvements to HBB's information technology infrastructure. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

Capital Structure

Working capital is significantly affected by the seasonality of HBB's business. The following is a discussion of the changes in HBB's capital structure at June 30, 2017 compared with both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016.

Other net tangible assets increased $9.9 million from June 30, 2016 primarily due to increases in inventory and receivables, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. The changes in inventory and accounts payable were primarily attributable to the timing of purchases and a higher sales forecast for the second half of 2017. Receivables increased due to timing as well as changes in other receivables.

Other net tangible assets increased $11.3 million from December 31, 2016 primarily due to decreases in accounts payable, accrued cooperative advertising and accrued payroll as well as an increase in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. The changes in accounts payable, inventory and accounts receivable were primarily attributable to the seasonality of the business. Accrued payroll and accrued cooperative advertising decreased as payments were made during the first six months of of 2017.

Total debt increased $8.4 million to fund working capital as a result of the seasonality of the business.

OUTLOOK

Overall consumer confidence and changing consumer buying patterns continue to create uncertainty about the overall growth prospects for the U.S. retail market for small appliances. In this context, U.S. and Canadian consumer retail markets for small kitchen appliances in the second half of 2017 are expected to be comparable to the second half of 2016, while international and commercial markets in which HBB participates are expected to continue to grow moderately. Sales are expected to continue to shift from in-store channels to internet sales channels.

HBB continues to focus on strengthening the consumer market position of its various product lines through product innovation, promotions, increased placements and branding programs. HBB will continue to leverage its strong brand portfolio by introducing new innovative products, as well as upgrades to certain existing products across a wide range of brands, price points and categories in both retail and commercial marketplaces. HBB continues to pursue opportunities to create or add product lines and brands that can be distributed in high-end or specialty stores and on the Internet, including the addition of a new CHI®-branded garment care line under a multi-year licensing deal, which began initial shipments during the first half of 2017 and is gaining distribution traction. HBB also expects its growing global commercial business to benefit from broader distribution of several newer products. HBB's robust commercial and retail product pipeline is expected to affect both revenues and operating profit positively.

As a result of this market environment and new product introductions, HBB's sales volumes and revenues are expected to increase in the second half of 2017 compared with the second half of 2016, resulting in overall modest full-year increases provided consumer spending is at expected levels. These increases are expected to be slightly more than the anticipated market growth due to enhanced distribution and increased higher-margin product placements resulting from the execution of the company's strategic initiatives, both domestically and internationally.

Net income in the second half of 2017 and for full-year 2017 is expected to increase modestly compared with the prior year periods as benefits from increased revenues are expected to be partially offset by the costs to implement HBB's strategic initiatives, as well as increased distribution, advertising and employee-related costs. HBB continues to monitor currency effects, as well as commodity and other input costs, closely, and intends to continue to adjust product prices and product placements as market conditions permit.

For both the second half and full-year 2017, cash flow before financing activities is expected to be substantial but lower than full-year 2016. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $7 million in 2017, of which approximately $2 million was expended in the first half of 2017.

Longer term, HBB will work to improve return on sales through economies of scale derived from market growth and its strategic revenue growth initiatives. These initiatives are focused on enhancing HBB's placements in the North American

THE KITCHEN COLLECTION, LLC

KC is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware in outlet and traditional malls throughout the United States. KC's business is seasonal, and a majority of its revenues and operating profit is typically earned in the second half of the year when sales of kitchenware to consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season.

At June 30, 2017, KC operated 209 stores compared with 220 stores at June 30, 2016 and 223 stores at December 31, 2016.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2017 decreased $2.8 million compared with the second quarter of 2016 due to the loss of sales from closing underperforming stores since June 30, 2016 and a decline in comparable store sales. The decrease in comparable store sales resulted from fewer customer visits and a reduction in store transactions for the second quarter of 2017 compared with the second quarter of 2016. These decreases were partially offset by sales at newly opened stores and
e-commerce sales.

Financing Activities

KC has a $25.0 million secured revolving line of credit that expires in September 2019 (the “KC Facility”). The obligations under the KC Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of KC. The approximate book value of KC's assets held as collateral under the KC Facility was $38.7 million as of June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, the borrowing base under the KC Facility was $17.2 million and borrowings outstanding under the KC Facility were $7.2 million. At June 30, 2017, the excess availability under the KC Facility was $10.0 million.

The maximum availability under the KC Facility is derived from a borrowing base formula using KC's eligible inventory and eligible credit card accounts receivable, as defined in the KC Facility. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus a margin based on the excess availability under the agreement, as defined in the KC Facility, which can be either a base rate plus a margin of 1.00% or LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00% as of June 30, 2017. The KC Facility also requires a commitment fee of 0.32% per annum on the unused commitment.

The KC Facility allows for the payment of dividends to NACCO, subject to certain restrictions based on availability and meeting a fixed charge coverage ratio as described in the KC Facility. Dividends are limited to (i) $6.0 million in any twelve-

month period, so long as KC has excess availability, as defined in the KC Facility, of at least $6.3 million after giving effect to such payment and maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, as defined in the KC Facility; (ii) $2.0 million in any twelve-month period, so long as KC has excess availability, as defined in the KC Facility, of at least $6.3 million after giving effect to such payment and (iii) in such amounts as determined by KC, so long as KC has excess availability under the KC Facility of $12.5 million after giving effect to such payment. At
June 30, 2017, KC was in compliance with all financial covenants in the KC Facility.

KC believes funds available from cash on hand at the Company, the KC Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the KC Facility.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

Since December 31, 2016, there have been no significant changes in the total amount of KC's contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 62 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Capital Expenditures

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $0.5 million for the first six months of 2017 and are estimated to be an additional $1.0 million for the remainder of 2017. These planned capital expenditures are primarily for improvements to KC's information technology infrastructure, store remodels and new store fixtures. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

Capital Structure

Working capital is significantly affected by the seasonality of KC's business. The following is a discussion of the changes in KC's capital structure at June 30, 2017 compared with both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016.

Other net tangible assets increased $8.7 million at June 30, 2017 compared with December 31, 2016 primarily as a result of a decrease in accounts payable and changes in net intercompany tax receivable/payable, partially offset by a decrease in inventory. The decreases in accounts payable and inventory are due to the seasonality of the business and fewer stores at June 30, 2017 compared with December 31, 2016.

OUTLOOK

A shift in consumer shopping patterns has led to declining consumer traffic to physical retail locations and reduced in-store transactions as consumers buy more over the Internet or utilize the Internet for comparison shopping. These factors are expected to increasingly minimize KC's target consumers' spending on housewares and small appliances in mall locations. Given this market environment, KC closed 18 stores in the first half of 2017, and it expects to continue to aggressively manage its store portfolio with a continued focus on a smaller core group of profitable Kitchen Collection® outlet stores in more favorable mall locations. As a result of these actions, KC anticipates revenues and results to continue to decline in the second half of 2017 compared with the second half of 2016, with full-year 2017 operating results also expected to decrease compared with 2016. KC expects 2017 cash flow before financing activities to be close to break even. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.5 million in 2017, of which $0.5 million was expended in the first half of 2017.

KC aims to provide consumers with products they want at affordable prices. KC's continued focus on increasing the average sale per transaction, the average closure rate and the number of items per transaction through the continued refinement of its format and improved customer interactions to enhance customers' store experience is expected to generate sales growth over time. Additionally, improved product offerings, a focus on sales of higher-margin products, merchandise mix and displays, new store profitability, closure of underperforming stores and optimizing expense structure are expected to generate improved operating profit over time. As a result, KC believes its smaller core store portfolio is well positioned to take advantage of any future market rebound.

Second Quarter of 2017 Compared with Second Quarter of 2016 and First Six Months of 2017 Compared with First Six Months of 2016

The increase in the operating loss and net loss for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared with 2016 comparable periods was primarily due to higher professional and outside service fees and higher employee-related costs.

Management Fees
The management fees charged to the operating subsidiaries represent an allocation of corporate overhead of the parent company. Management fees are allocated among all subsidiaries based upon the relative size and complexity of each subsidiary. The Company believes the allocation method is consistently applied and reasonable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company's subsidiaries, NACoal, HBB and KC, have entered into certain financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. As such, the Company's financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. There is an inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, NACoal and HBB have entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of their floating rate financing arrangements. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements provide for the subsidiaries to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate.

The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements was a net receivable of $0.6 million at June 30, 2017. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not cause a material change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2017 and, assuming no changes in the Company's financial structure as it stands, would not have a material effect on annual interest expense.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
HBB operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and, to a lesser extent, the Chinese yuan and Brazilian real. As such, its financial results are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies affects the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. The potential impact of currency fluctuation increases as international expansion increases.
HBB uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies and not for trading purposes. These contracts generally mature within twelve months and require HBB to buy or sell the functional currency in which the applicable subsidiary operates and buy or sell U.S. dollars at rates agreed to at the inception of the contracts. The fair value of these contracts was a net payable of $0.9 million at June 30, 2017.

For purposes of risk analysis, the Company uses sensitivity analyses to measure the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company assumes that a loss in fair value is either a decrease to its assets or an increase to its liabilities. Assuming a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar compared with other foreign currencies at June 30, 2017, the fair value of foreign currency-sensitive financial instruments, which primarily represent forward foreign currency exchange contracts, would be decreased by $0.9 million compared with its fair value at June 30, 2017. It is important to note that the change in fair value indicated in this sensitivity analysis would be somewhat offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying receivables and payables, which would not be material.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK
The Company uses certain commodities, including steel and diesel fuel, in the normal course of its mining processes. As such, the cost of operations is subject to variability as the market for these commodities changes. The Company monitors this risk and utilizes forward purchase contracts to manage a portion of NACoal's exposure related to diesel fuel volatility. There have been no material changes in the Company's commodity price risk during the second quarter of 2017.
