FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND CAUTIONARY FACTORS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding expected financial results and other planned events, including, but not limited to, anticipated liquidity, anticipated restructuring costs and related savings, anticipated future charges and anticipated capital expenditures. The terms “may,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “objective,” “plan,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future events or results may differ materially from these statements. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or any other reason.
The following is a list of factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:
supply chain issues, including shortages of adequate component supply that increase our costs or cause delays in our ability to fulfill orders;
failure to estimate customer demand properly may result or could have an adverse impact on our business and operating results and our relationship with customers;
the deterioration of, or instability in, the domestic and international economy and/or in our various end markets, including as a result of geopolitical activity;
decreases in sales and/or increases in costs or reduced availability of commodities or components used in the production of our products due to sanctions and export controls targeting Russia in connection with its invasion of Ukraine;
decreased demand from customers in the oil & gas industry, including as a result of significant volatility in oil prices resulting from disruptions in the oil markets;
uncertainty over global tariffs or the financial impact of tariffs;
our ability to execute on restructuring actions and on the objectives related to the ASCEND transformation program in order to achieve anticipated incremental operating profit;
logistics challenges, including global freight capacity shortages, significant increases in freight costs or other delays in our ability to fulfill orders;
1


failure to collect on accounts receivable, including in certain foreign jurisdictions where sales are concentrated to a limited number of distributors or agents;
a significant failure in our information technology (IT) infrastructure, such as unauthorized access to financial and other sensitive data or cybersecurity threats;
a material disruption at a significant manufacturing facility;
competition in the markets we serve;
currency exchange rate fluctuations, export and import restrictions, transportation disruptions or shortages, and other risks inherent in our international operations;
regulatory and legal developments, including litigation, such as product liability and warranty claims;
the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic (including new variants of COVID-19) continues to impact our employees, operations, customers and suppliers;
failure to develop new products and the extent of market acceptance of new products;
our ability to execute on our growth strategy;
our ability to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions and realize anticipated benefits/results from acquired companies as part of our portfolio management process;
the effects of divestitures and/or discontinued operations, including retained liabilities from, or indemnification obligations with respect to, disposed businesses;
if the operating performance of our businesses were to fall significantly below normalized levels, the potential for a non-cash impairment charge of goodwill and/or other intangible assets, as they represent a substantial amount of our total assets;
a global economic recession;
the impact of rapidly rising interest rates;
our ability to comply with the covenants in our debt agreements and fluctuations in interest rates;
our ability to attract, develop, and retain qualified employees;
inadequate intellectual property protection or infringement of the intellectual property of others; and
other matters, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive and regulatory nature contained from time to time in our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the "Risk Factors" section within Item 1A of Part I of our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 25, 2022.
When used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Enerpac Tool Group Corp. and its subsidiaries. Reference to fiscal years, such as "fiscal 2023," are to the fiscal year ending on August 31 of the specified year.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
General
Enerpac Tool Group Corp. ("Company") is a premier industrial tools, services, technology and solutions company serving a broad and diverse set of customers in more than 100 countries. The Company has one reportable segment, the Industrial Tools & Services Segment ("IT&S"), and an Other operating segment, which does not meet the criteria to be considered a reportable segment.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of August 31, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Company’s fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of financial results have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2023.The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted, and is likely to continue to negatively impact to varying extents, the global economy. The Company's operating results and financial position will continue to be subject to the general economic conditions created by the pandemic, including the current supply chain and logistics environment caused by the sharp increase in demand as global economies recover. The Company also has historically sold products to companies located in or associated with Russia. In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many countries, including the countries that are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO"), including the United States, have initiated sanctions and export controls targeting Russia and entities associated with Russia which significantly limits our ability to serve certain customers and collect on our outstanding receivables. The duration and extent to which the pandemic and trade sanctions against Russia effect the Company's business will depend on future developments which still remain uncertain.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which amends ASC 805 to require an acquirer to, at the date of acquisition, recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in accordance with ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) as if the entity had originated the contracts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt this guidance in the event of a business combination subsequent to the effective date of the guidance.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for a limited time to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. This guidance applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates. The guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 allowing entities to apply certain aspects of ASC 848 (previously ASU 2020-4) to all derivative instruments that undergo a modification of the interest rate used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment as a result of the reference reform. The guidance is also effective through December 31, 2022. The Company has not utilized any of the optional expedients or exceptions available under this guidance. The Company will continue to assess whether this guidance is applicable throughout the effective period.

Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Nature of Goods and Services
The Company generates its revenue under two principal activities, which are discussed below:
Product Sales: Sales of tools, heavy-lifting solutions, and rope solutions are recorded when control is transferred to the customer (i.e., performance obligation has been satisfied). For the majority of the Company’s product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product is shipped from the Company to the customer. For certain other products that are highly customized and have a limited alternative use, and for which the Company has an enforceable right of reimbursement for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized over time. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over-time revenue associated with these custom products. For a majority of the Company’s custom products, machine hours and labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) are used as a measure of progress.
Service & Rental Sales: Service contracts consist of providing highly trained technicians to perform bolting, technical services, machining and joint-integrity work for our customers. These revenues are recognized over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over-time revenue associated with service contracts. For a majority of the Company’s service contracts, labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) is used as the measure of progress when it is determined to be a better depiction of the transfer of control to the customer due to the timing and pattern of labor hours incurred. Revenue from rental contracts (less than a year and non-customized products) is generally recognized ratably over the contract term, depicting the customer’s consumption of the benefit related to the rental equipment.
Disaggregated Revenue and Performance Obligations
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and product line and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. See Note 13, "Segment Information" for information regarding our revenue disaggregation by reportable segment and product line.
The following table presents information regarding revenues disaggregated by the timing of when goods and services are transferred (in thousands):
Three Months Ended November 30,
20222021
Revenues recognized at point in time$109,903 $100,174 
Revenues recognized over time29,479 30,729 
Total$139,382 $130,903 
Contract Balances
The Company's contract assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):
November 30, 2022August 31, 2022
Receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, net$97,707 $106,747 
Contract assets, which are included in other current assets1,398 2,397 
Contract liabilities, which are included in other current liabilities3,156 2,804 
Receivables: The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers as soon as control of an asset is
8


transferred and a receivable for the Company is established. Accounts receivable, net is recorded at face amount of customer receivables less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of customer receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of receivables that may be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $17.3 million and $17.5 million at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively.
As indicated in the "Concentration of Credit Risk" section below, as of November 30, 2022 the Company was exposed to a concentration of credit risk with an agent as a result of its continued payment delinquency. As of November 30, 2022 the Company has a reserve of $13.2 million based on the consideration of the factors listed below, which fully reserves for the outstanding accounts receivable balance for this agent. The allowance for doubtful accounts, for this particular agent as of November 30, 2022 represents management's best estimate of the amount probable of collection and considers various factors with the respect to this matter, including, but not limited to, (i) the lack of payment by the agent since the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2021, (ii) our due diligence on balances due to the agent from its end customers related to sales of our services and products and the known markup on those sales from agent to end customer, (iii) the status of ongoing negotiations with the agent to secure payments and (iv) legal recourse available to secure payment. Actual collections from the agent may differ from the Company's estimate.
Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company sells products and services through distributors and agents. In certain jurisdictions, those third parties represent a significant portion of our sales in their respective country which can pose a concentration of credit risk if these larger distributors or agents are not timely in their payments. As of November 30, 2022, the Company was exposed to a concentration of credit risk as a result of the payment delinquency of one of our agents whose accounts receivable represent 11.3% of the Company's outstanding accounts receivable. As of November 30, 2022, the Company has fully reserved for the amounts due from this agent.
Contract Assets: Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. The Company has contract assets on contracts that are generally long-term and have revenues that are recognized over time.
Contract Liabilities: As of November 30, 2022, the Company had certain contracts where there were unsatisfied performance obligations and the Company had received cash consideration from customers before the performance obligations were satisfied. The majority of these contracts relate to long-term customer contracts (project durations of greater than three months) and are recognized over time. The Company estimates that substantially all of the $3.2 million will be recognized in net sales from satisfying those performance obligations within the next twelve months.
Timing of Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time: The Company evaluates when the customer obtains control of the product based on shipping terms, as control will transfer, depending upon such terms, at different points between the Company's manufacturing facility or warehouse and the customer’s location. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery because (i) the Company has a present right to payment at that time; (ii) the legal title has been transferred to the customer; (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer; and (iv) the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product.
Variable Consideration: The Company estimates whether it will be subject to variable consideration under the terms of the contract and includes its estimate of variable consideration in the transaction price based on the expected value method when it is deemed probable of being realized based on historical experience and trends. Types of variable consideration may include rebates, incentives and discounts, among others, which are recorded as a reduction to net sales at the time when control of a performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
Practical Expedients & Exemptions: The Company elected to expense the incremental cost to obtaining a contract when the amortization period for such contracts would be one year or less. The Company does not disclose the value of unperformed obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and    (ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Note 3. ASCEND Transformation Program
In March 2022, the Company announced the launch of ASCEND, a new transformation program focused on driving accelerated earnings growth and efficiency across the business with the goal of delivering an incremental $40 to $50 million of annual operating profit once fully implemented. As part of ASCEND, the Company is focusing on the following key initiatives: (i) accelerating organic growth go-to-market strategies, (ii) improving operational excellence and production efficiency by utilizing a lean approach and (iii) driving greater efficiency and productivity in SG&A by better leveraging resources to create a more efficient and agile organization.
The Company is implementing the program and anticipates investing approximately $60 to $65 million (as disclosed in Note 4, "Restructuring Charges," approximately $10 to $15 million of these investments will be in the form of restructuring charges) over the life of the program, which is expected to be finalized as we exit fiscal 2024. Elements of these investments could include such cash costs as capital expenditures, restructuring costs, third-party support, and incentive costs. Total program expenses were approximately $10.4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2022, of which $9.4 million were recorded within SG&A expenses and included third-party support costs and $1.0 million were recorded within restructuring expenses (see Note 4, "Restructuring Charges," below).
Note 4. Restructuring Charges
The Company has undertaken or committed to various restructuring initiatives, including workforce reductions, leadership changes, plant consolidations to reduce manufacturing overhead, satellite office closures, the continued movement of production and product sourcing to low-cost alternatives, and the centralization and standardization of certain administrative functions. Liabilities for severance are generally to be paid within twelve months, while future lease payments related to facilities vacated as a result of restructuring are to be paid over the underlying remaining lease terms.
During fiscal 2019, the Company announced a restructuring plan focused on (i) the integration of the Enerpac and Hydratight businesses (IT&S segment), (ii) the strategic exit of certain commodity-type services in our North America Services operations (IT&S segment) and (iii) driving efficiencies within the overall corporate structure. In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company announced the expansion and revision of this plan, which further simplified and flattened the corporate structure through elimination of redundancies between the segment and corporate functions, while enhancing our commercial and marketing processes to become even closer to our customers. Upon assessment of the Company's operating structure by the Company's new President and Chief Executive Officer (hired effective October 2021), the Company recorded $2.7 million of charges in the three months ended November 30, 2021 in order to further simplify and streamline the organizational structure. The total cumulative charges for the 2019 plan, which ended in the the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, were $18.0 million.
On June 27, 2022, the Company approved a new restructuring plan in connection with the initiatives identified as part of the ASCEND transformation program (see Note 3, “ASCEND Transformation Program”) to drive greater efficiency and productivity in global selling, general and administrative resources. The total costs of this plan were then estimated at $6 to $10 million, constituting predominately severance and other employee-related costs to be incurred as cash expenditures impacting both IT&S and Corporate. On September 23, 2022, the Company approved an updated restructuring plan. The costs of this updated plan (which includes the amounts for the plan approved in June) are estimated at $10 to $15 million. These costs are expected to be incurred over the expected duration of the transformation program, ending in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. For the three months ended November 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1 million of restructuring charges associated with the ASCEND transformation program.
The following summarizes restructuring reserve activity (which for the three months ended November 30, 2021 excludes $0.7 million and $0.5 million of charges associated with the 2019 Plan for IT&S and Corporate, respectively, associated with the accelerated vesting of equity awards which has no impact on the restructuring reserve) for the IT&S segment and Corporate (in thousands):

Note 5. Discontinued Operations
On October 31, 2019, as part of our overall strategy to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, the Company completed the sale of the businesses comprising its former Engineered Components & Systems ("EC&S") segment. This divestiture was considered part of our strategic shift to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, and therefore, the results of operations are recorded as a component of "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented. All other discontinued operations activity included within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented relate to impacts from certain retained liabilities.

Senior Credit Facility
Prior to refinancing the Company's senior credit facility on September 9, 2022, the Company's previous senior credit facility matured in March 2024, and provided a $400 million revolving line of credit, a $200 million term loan and a $300 million accordion. Borrowings bore interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or a base rate, ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from 0.125% to 1.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. In addition, a non-use fee was payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the revolving line of credit ranging from 0.15% to 0.3% per annum, based on the Company's net leverage. The previous senior credit facility contained two financial covenants, which were a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75:1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.5:1. Certain transactions resulted in adjustments to the underlying ratios, including an increase to the leverage ratio from 3.75 to 4.25 during the four fiscal quarters after a significant acquisition.
On September 9, 2022, the Company refinanced its previous senior credit facility with a new $600 million senior credit facility, comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and a $200 million term loan, which will mature in September 2027. The Company has the option to request up to $300 million of additional revolving commitments and/or term loans under the new facility, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders. The new facility replaces LIBOR with adjusted term SOFR as the interest rate benchmark and provides for interest rate margins above adjusted term SOFR ranging from 1.125% to 1.875% per annum depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Borrowings under the new facility initially bear interest at adjusted term SOFR plus 1.125% per annum.
In addition, the new facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company to not permit (i) the net leverage ratio, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters, to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (or, at the Company’s election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for the covenants period during which certain material acquisitions occur and the next succeeding four testing periods) or (ii) the interest coverage ratio, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters, to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. Borrowings under the new facility are secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiary guarantors (other than certain specified excluded assets) and certain of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the new facility at November 30, 2022.
At November 30, 2022, there was $3.0 million of borrowings under the revolving line of credit and $393.4 million available under the revolving line of credit facility after reduction for $3.6 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the new facility.
Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable rate long-term debt approximated book value at both November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022 due to their short-term nature and/or the fact that the interest rates approximated market rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the foreign currency exchange and interest rate swap contracts were based on quoted inactive market prices and therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Note 10. Derivatives
All derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the fair value of derivatives (not designated as hedges) are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability.
13


The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations. In order to manage this risk, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk associated with recognized non-functional currency balances. The effects of changes in exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts and the related non-functional currency asset or liability. These derivative gains and losses offset foreign currency gains and losses from the related revaluation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities (amounts included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings). The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of these short duration foreign currency exchange contracts was $22.0 million and $16.7 million at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively. Net foreign currency gain (loss) (included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings) related to these derivative instruments were as follows (in thousands):

Note 11. Earnings per Share and Shareholders' Equity
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock under publicly announced share repurchase programs. Since the inception of the initial share repurchase program in fiscal 2012, the Company has repurchased 26,558,965 shares of common stock for $742.8 million. The Company suspended the initial share repurchase program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. In March 2022, the Company's Board of Directors rescinded its prior share repurchase authorization and approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of a total of 10,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company did not repurchase shares in either of the three months ended November 30, 2022 or 2021. As of November 30, 2022, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the program is 6,240,265 shares.

Note 12. Income Taxes
The Company's global operations, acquisition activity (as applicable) and specific tax attributes provide opportunities for continuous global tax planning initiatives to maximize tax credits and deductions. Comparative earnings before income taxes, income tax expense and effective income tax rates from continuing operations are as follows (dollars in thousands):
 Three Months Ended November 30,
 20222021
Earnings from continuing operations before income tax expense$8,792 $4,966 
Income tax expense2,383 1,781 
Effective income tax rate27.1 %35.9 %
The Company’s earnings from continuing operations before income taxes include earnings from both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Though most foreign tax rates are now in line with the U.S. tax rate of 21%, the annual effective tax rate is impacted by foreign rate differentials, withholding taxes, losses in jurisdictions where no benefit can be realized, and various aspects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, such as the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income provisions.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2022 was 27.1%, compared to 35.9% for the comparable prior-year period. The effective tax rate in each time period was significantly impacted by year-to-date losses and deductions in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be realized. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2022 was primarily due to tax benefits driven by revaluing tax assets due to tax rate changes. Both the current and prior-year effective income tax rates include the impact of non-recurring items.
Note 13. Segment Information
The Company is a global manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and solutions. The IT&S reportable segment is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools and in providing services and tool rental to the infrastructure, industrial maintenance, repair and operations, oil & gas, mining, alternative and renewable energy, civil construction and other markets. The Other segment is included for purposes of reconciliation of the respective balances below to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the comparability of segment and product line information is impacted by acquisition/divestiture activities, impairment and divestiture charges, restructuring costs and related benefits. Corporate assets, which are not allocated, principally represent cash and cash equivalents, property, plant and equipment, Right of Use ("ROU") assets, capitalized debt issuance costs and deferred income taxes.
Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $9.2 million and $10.7 million at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively, the majority of which relate to commercial contracts and self-insured workers' compensation programs.
As part of the Company's global sourcing strategy, we have entered into agreements with certain suppliers that require the supplier to maintain minimum levels of inventory to support certain products for which we require a short lead time to fulfill customer orders. We have the ability to notify the supplier that they no longer need maintain the minimum level of inventory should we discontinue manufacturing of a product during the contract period; however, we must purchase the remaining minimum inventory levels the supplier was required to maintain within a defined period of time.
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of business. These legal proceedings include regulatory matters, product liability, breaches of contract, employment, personal injury and other disputes. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable a loss has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated. The Company maintains a policy to exclude from such reserves an estimate of legal defense costs. In the opinion of management, resolution of these contingencies is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company remains contingently liable for lease payments under leases of businesses that it previously divested or spun-off in the event that such businesses are unable to fulfill their future lease payment obligations; however, the Company does not believe it is probable that it will be required to satisfy these obligations. Future minimum lease payments for these leases at November 30, 2022 were $3.2 million associated with monthly payments extending to fiscal 2025.
Additionally, in fiscal 2019, the Company provided voluntary self-disclosures to both Dutch and U.S. authorities related to sales of products and services linked to the Crimea region of Ukraine, which sales potentially violated European Union and U.S. sanctions provisions. Although the U.S. investigation closed without further implication, the Dutch investigation continued. The Dutch
17


Investigator concluded his investigation in March 2022 and provided the results to the Public Prosecutor's office for review. Specifically, the Investigator concluded that the sales transactions violated EU sanctions. The conclusion in the Investigator's report was consistent with the Company's understanding of what could be stated in the report and supported the Company to record an expense in the fiscal year-ended August 31, 2021, representing the low end of a reasonable range of financial penalties the Company may incur as no other point within the range was deemed more probable. The Company has not adjusted its estimate of financial penalties as a result of the completion of the investigation in the three months ended November 30, 2022. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome of the matter, the Company currently believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows from this matter.
Note 15. Leases
The Company has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, manufacturing equipment, IT equipment and office equipment (the Company does not have any financing leases). Our leases typically range in term from 3 to 15 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to 5 years at our discretion. Operating leases are recorded as operating lease ROU assets in “Other long-term assets” and operating lease liabilities in “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There have been no material changes to our operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities during the three months ended November 30, 2022.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Enerpac Tool Group Corp. is a premier industrial tools, services, technology and solutions company serving a broad and diverse set of customers in more than 100 countries. The Company makes complex, often hazardous jobs possible safely and efficiently. Enerpac Tool Group's businesses are global leaders in high pressure hydraulic tools, controlled force products and solutions for precise positioning of heavy loads that help customers safely and reliably tackle some of the most challenging jobs around the world. The Company was founded in 1910 and is headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The company has one reportable segment, the Industrial Tools & Services Segment ("IT&S"). The IT&S segment is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools and in providing services and tool rental to the industrial, maintenance, infrastructure, oil & gas, alternative energy and other markets. Financial information related to the Company's reportable segment is included in Note 13, "Segment Information" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our businesses provide an array of products and services across multiple markets and geographies, which results in significant diversification. The IT&S segment and the Company are well-positioned to drive shareholder value through a sustainable business strategy built on well-established brands, broad global distribution and end markets, clear focus on the core tools and services business and disciplined capital deployment.
Our Business Model
Our long-term goal is to create sustainable returns for our shareholders through above-market growth in our core business, expanding our margins, generating strong cash flow and being disciplined in the deployment of our capital. We intend to grow through
18


execution of our organic growth strategy focused on key vertical markets which benefit from long-term macro trends, driving customer driven innovation, expansion of our digital ecosystem to acquire and engage customers, and expansion in emerging markets such as Asia Pacific. In addition to organic growth, we also will focus on margin expansion through operational efficiency techniques including lean, continuous improvement and 80/20 to drive productivity and lower costs and leverage our selling, general and administrative expenses. We also intend to use these techniques and pricing actions to offset commodity increases and inflationary pricing. Finally, cash flow generation is critical to achieving our financial and long-term strategic objectives. We believe driving profitable growth and margin expansion will result in cash flow generation and we expect to supplement that through minimizing primary working capital. The cash flow that results from the execution of our strategy will be allocated in a disciplined way toward investment in the business, maintaining our strong balance sheet, disciplined M&A and opportunistically returning capital to shareholders. We anticipate the compounding effect of reinvesting in our business will fuel further growth and profitable returns.
General Business Update
In March 2022, the Company announced the start of its ASCEND transformation program (“ASCEND”). ASCEND’s key initiatives include accelerating organic growth go-to-market strategies, improving operational excellence and production efficiency by utilizing a Lean approach, and driving greater efficiency and productivity in selling, general and administrative expense by better leveraging resources to create a more efficient and agile organization. The Company expects that it will deliver an incremental $40-$50 million of annual operating profit from the execution of ASCEND, with the full run rate of operating profit expected to be reflected in its results as it exits fiscal 2024 and fully incorporated into its fiscal 2025 projections. Enerpac Tool Group anticipates investing approximately $60-$65 million over the life of the program to support the ASCEND initiatives.
In June 2022, the Company approved a restructuring plan in connection with the initiatives identified as part of the ASCEND transformation program (see Note 3, “ASCEND Transformation Program” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements) to drive greater efficiency and productivity in global selling, general and administrative resources. The total costs of this plan were then estimated at $6 to $10 million, constituting predominately severance and other employee-related costs to be incurred as cash expenditures and impacting both IT&S and Corporate. On September 23, 2022, the Company approved an updated restructuring plan. The costs of this updated plan (which includes the amounts for the plan approved in June) are estimated at $10 to $15 million. These costs are expected to be incurred over the expected duration of the transformation program, ending in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth our results of continuing operations (in millions, except per share amounts):

(1) The summation of the individual components may not equal the total due to rounding.
Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $139 million, an increase of $8 million, or 6%, from the prior-year comparable period. Due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, foreign exchange rates unfavorably impacted sales by $7 million or 6%. "Core Sales", which excludes the impact of foreign currency changes and the impact from recent acquisition and divestitures to net sales, increased $16 million, or 13%. The product pricing actions that the Company took beginning in late fiscal 2021 and into fiscal 2023 in response to significant inflationary pressures on commodities, freight and energy costs, coupled with year-over-year volume growth, were the key drivers of the increase in core sales. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased 3% as a result of
19


pricing actions, sales mix and productivity efficiency. Operating profit is $6 million higher in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $4 million primarily due to ASCEND transformation program charges of $9 million offset by lower restructuring ($2 million) and leadership transition charges ($3 million) compared to the prior year.
Segment Results
IT&S Segment
The IT&S segment is a global supplier of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools and services to a broad array of end markets, including infrastructure, industrial maintenance, repair and operations, oil & gas, mining, alternative and renewable energy, and civil construction markets. Its primary products include branded tools, cylinders, pumps, hydraulic torque wrenches, highly engineered heavy lifting technology solutions and other tools (Product product line). On the service and rental side, the segment provides maintenance and manpower services to meet customer-specific needs and rental capabilities for certain of our products (Service & Rental product line). The following table sets forth the results of operations for the IT&S segment (dollars in millions):
 Three Months Ended November 30,
 20222021
Net sales$127 $121 
Operating profit27 18 
Operating profit %20.9 %14.9 %
IT&S segment net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by $6 million, or 5%. Core sales increased $13 million, or 11%, year over year due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar unfavorably impacting sales. Year-over-year increase in sales is due to pricing actions and volume increases in the Americas and Europe.
Operating profit percentage increased 6% from the prior-year quarter as pricing actions and sales mix offset increased costs in supply chain and logistics.
Corporate
Corporate expenses were $16 million and $10 million in the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which represents an increase of $6 million year over year. The increase for the three months ended November 30, 2022 was primarily a result of increased ASCEND transformation program charges and incentive compensation offset by lower leadership transition charges.
Financing Costs, net
Net financing costs were $3 million and $1 million for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Financing costs increased due to due higher debt balances (approximately $25 million) and higher interest rates.
Income Tax Expense
The Company's global operations, acquisition activity (as applicable) and specific tax attributes provide opportunities for continuous global tax planning initiatives to maximize tax credits and deductions. Comparative earnings before income taxes, income tax expense and effective income tax rates from continuing operations are as follows (dollars in millions):
 Three Months Ended November 30,
 20222021
Earnings from continuing operations before income tax expense$$
Income tax expense
Effective income tax rate27.1 %35.9 %
The Company’s earnings from continuing operations before income taxes include earnings from both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Though most foreign tax rates are now in line with the U.S. tax rate of 21%, the annual effective tax rate is impacted by foreign rate differentials, withholding taxes, losses in jurisdictions where no benefit can be realized, and various aspects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, such as the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income provisions.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2022 was 27.1%, compared to 35.9% for the comparable prior-year period. The effective tax rate in each time period was significantly impacted by year-to-date losses and deductions in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be realized. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2022 was primarily due to
20


tax benefits driven by revaluing tax assets due to tax rate changes. Both the current and prior-year effective income tax rates include the impact of non-recurring items.
Cash Flows and Liquidity
At November 30, 2022, we had $129 million of cash and cash equivalents of which $119 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries and $10 million was held domestically. The following table summarizes our cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (dollars in millions):
 Three Months Ended November 30,

Cash used in investing activities (3)(3)

Net cash provided by operating activities was $18 million for the three months ended November 30, 2022 as compared to $5 million net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended November 30, 2021. The $23 million increase in cash flow provided by operating activities was the result of $3 million in higher earnings and $21 million in account receivable balances from stronger collections and timing of large project billings.
Net cash used in investing activities was $3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2022 as compared to $3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2021. The cash used in investing activities for both fiscal years primarily related to capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $6 million for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2021. The net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 predominantly consisted of $2 million paid for the annual dividend and $3 million for debt issuance costs associated to our new senior credit facility offset by a reduction of $1 million in total borrowings. The net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 predominantly consisted of $2 million paid for the annual dividend and $2 million for taxes paid related to the net share settlement of equity awards.
On September 9, 2022, the Company refinanced its previous senior credit facility with a new $600 million senior credit facility, comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and a $200 million term loan, which will mature in September 2027. The Company has the option to request up to $300 million of additional revolving commitments and/or term loans under the new facility, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders. See Note 8, "Debt" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the senior credit facility.
At November 30, 2022, there was $3 million of borrowings under the revolving line of credit and $393 million available under the revolving line of credit facility after reduction for $4 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the new facility.The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the senior credit facility at November 30, 2022.
We believe that the revolving credit line, combined with our existing cash on hand and anticipated operating cash flows, will be adequate to meet operating, debt service, acquisition and capital expenditure funding requirements for the foreseeable future.
Primary Working Capital Management
We use primary working capital as a percentage of sales (PWC %) as a key metric of working capital management. We define this metric as the sum of net accounts receivable and net inventory less accounts payable, divided by the past three months sales annualized. The following table shows a comparison of primary working capital (dollars in millions):

Commitments and Contingencies
We are contingently liable for certain lease payments under leases within businesses we previously divested or spun-off. If any of these businesses do not fulfill their future lease payment obligations under a lease, we could be liable for such obligations, however,
21


the Company does not believe it is probable that it will be required to satisfy these obligations. Future minimum lease payments for these leases at November 30, 2022 were $3 million with monthly payments extending to fiscal 2025.
We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $9.2 million and $10.7 million at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively, the majority of which relate to commercial contracts and self-insured workers' compensation programs.
We are also subject to certain contingencies with respect to legal proceedings and regulatory matters which are described in Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations have not materially changed at November 30, 2022 from what was previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2022.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management has evaluated the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and believe those estimates to be reasonable and appropriate. Certain of these accounting estimates are considered by management to be the most critical in understanding judgments involved in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. For information about more of the Company’s policies, methodology and assumptions related to critical accounting policies refer to the Critical Accounting Policies in Part 1, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2022.
Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The diverse nature of our business activities necessitates the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity costs.
Interest Rate Risk: As of November 30, 2022, long-term debt consisted of $3.0 million of borrowing under the revolving line of credit (variable rate debt). A ten percent increase in the average costs of our variable rate debt would have resulted in a $0.2 million increase in financing costs for the three months ended November 30, 2022.
Foreign Currency Risk: We maintain operations in the U.S. and various foreign countries. Our more significant non-U.S. operations are located in Australia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and China, and we have foreign currency risk relating to receipts from customers, payments to suppliers and intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Under certain conditions, we enter into hedging transactions (primarily foreign currency exchange contracts) that enable us to mitigate the potential adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rate risk (see Note 10, “Derivatives” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information). We do not engage in trading or other speculative activities with these transactions, as established policies require that these hedging transactions relate to specific currency exposures.
The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most currencies can have an unfavorable impact on our results of operations and financial position as foreign denominated operating results are translated into U.S. dollars. To illustrate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of our results of operations, quarterly sales and operating profit were remeasured assuming a ten percent decrease in all foreign exchange rates compared with the U.S. dollar. Using this assumption, quarterly sales would have been lower by $6 million and operating profit would have been lower by less than $0.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended November 30, 2022. This sensitivity analysis assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar and excludes the potential effects that changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have on sales levels or local currency prices. Similarly, a ten percent decline in foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar would result in a $35 million reduction to equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss) as of November 30, 2022, as a result of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities being translated into U.S. dollars, our reporting currency.
Commodity Cost Risk: We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials, such as steel and plastic resin, are subject to price fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our results. We strive to pass along such commodity price increases to customers to avoid profit margin erosion.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
