Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Guarantor Subsidiaries | Note 15. Guarantor Subsidiaries On April 16, 2012, Actuant Corporation (the “Parent”) issued $300.0 million of 5.625% Senior Notes, of which $288.1 million remains outstanding as of August 31, 2016. All of our material domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) fully and unconditionally guarantee the 5.625% Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the Parent. Certain assets, liabilities and expenses have not been allocated to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors and therefore are included in the Parent column in the accompanying consolidating financial statements. These items are of a corporate or consolidated nature and include, but are not limited to, tax provisions and related assets and liabilities, certain employee benefit obligations, prepaid and accrued insurance and corporate indebtedness. Intercompany activity in the consolidating financial statements primarily includes loan activity, purchases and sales of goods or services, investments and dividends. Intercompany balances also reflect certain non-cash transactions including transfers of assets and liabilities between the Parent, Guarantor and non-Guarantor, allocation of non-cash expenses from the Parent to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors, non-cash intercompany dividends and the impact of foreign currency rate changes. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 four non-guarantor wholly-owned subsidiaries were pledged as collateral under the debt agreement, which resulted in a change in entity status from non-guarantor to guarantor. This change was not properly reflected in the guarantor subsidiary footnote in fiscal 2015. In fiscal 2016, the Company corrected the classification of these entities as guarantors and all prior periods were recast to conform to the current guarantor structure. The impact of this change was to increase cash flow from operations of the guarantors by $12.3 million and $1.8 million in fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. This change had no impact on consolidated results of operations or financial position. The following tables present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Actuant Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Guarantor and non-Guarantor entities, and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis.
