1.	Background and Basis of Presentation

Hillenbrand, Inc. (“Hillenbrand”) is a global diversified industrial company with multiple market-leading brands that serve a wide variety of industries across the globe. We strive to provide superior return for our shareholders, exceptional value for our customers, and great professional opportunities for our employees through deployment of the Hillenbrand Operating Model (“HOM”). The HOM is a consistent and repeatable framework designed to produce sustainable and predictable results. The HOM describes our mission, vision, values, and mindset as leaders; applies our management practices in Strategy Management, Segmentation, Lean, Talent Development, and Acquisitions; and prescribes three steps (Understand, Focus and Grow) designed to make our businesses both bigger and better. Our goal is to continue developing Hillenbrand as a world-class global diversified industrial company through the deployment of the HOM. Hillenbrand is composed of two segments: the Process Equipment Group and Batesville^®. The Process Equipment Group businesses design, develop, manufacture, and service highly engineered industrial equipment around the world. Batesville is a recognized leader in the North American death care industry. “Hillenbrand,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar words refer to Hillenbrand and its subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hillenbrand and its subsidiaries. They also include two minor subsidiaries where the Company’s ownership percentage is less than 100%. The Company’s fiscal year ends on September 30. Unless otherwise stated, references to years relate to fiscal years.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements and therefore do not include all information required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016, as filed with the SEC. The September 30, 2016 Consolidated Balance Sheet included in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for a year-end balance sheet included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations and cash flow as of the dates and for the periods presented.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Examples of such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition under the percentage-of-completion method and the establishment of reserves related to customer rebates, doubtful accounts, warranties, early-pay discounts, inventories, income taxes, litigation, self-insurance, and progress toward achievement of performance criteria under incentive compensation programs.


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. ASU 2014-12 states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 became effective and was adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 became effective and was adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. ASU 2015-01 became effective and was adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new standard amends the consolidation guidance in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under current generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2015-02 became effective and was adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest. ASU 2015-03 simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements. This standard permits an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and to subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. These new standards do not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 became effective and were retrospectively adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The retrospective adoption resulted in $1.2 of debt issuance costs being reclassified from other assets to a reduction of the carrying value of long-term debt as of September 30, 2016.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. ASU 2015-05 helps entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement by providing guidance as to whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. ASU 2015-05 became effective and was adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations. ASU 2015-16 simplifies the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is also required to record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition, an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 became effective and was adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position in order to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. ASU 2015-17 was early adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard resulted in a reclassification of $3.1 from current deferred income taxes to non-current deferred income taxes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2017. No periods prior to adoption were retrospectively adjusted.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has also issued several updates to ASU 2014-09. The new standard supersedes U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and requires the use of more estimates and judgments than the present standards. It also requires significant disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted on October 1, 2017. We have not yet selected a

Table of Contents

transition method, but we have begun the assessment process and are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and related lease liability for leases that have terms of more than twelve months. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance, with the classifications based on criteria that are similar to those applied under the current lease guidance, without the explicit bright lines. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-17 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption of ASU 2016-18 to have a financial statement presentation and disclosure impact only.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 assists entities in determining whether a transaction involves an asset or a business. Specifically, it states that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If this initial test is not met, a set cannot be considered a business unless it includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating ASU 2017-01, but do not expect a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the application of this ASU on the Company’s annual impairment test. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2017-04 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. ASU 2017-07 states that an employer must report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period and present the other components of net benefit cost (as defined in paragraphs 715-30-35-4 and 715-60-35-9) in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations (if one is presented). In addition, ASU 2017-07 limits the capitalization of compensation costs to the service cost component only (if capitalization is appropriate). ASU 2017-07 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2017-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements.


3.	Business Acquisitions

We incurred $0.3 and $0.6 of business acquisition and integration costs during the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, and $1.1 and $2.8 for the same periods in the prior year, recorded in operating expenses.

Abel

We completed the acquisition of Abel Pumps LP and Abel GmbH & Co. KG and certain of their affiliates (collectively “Abel”) on October 2, 2015 for €95 in cash. We utilized borrowings under our $700.0 revolving credit facility and $180.0 term loan (together, the “Facility”) to fund this acquisition. Based in Büchen, Germany, Abel is a globally-recognized leader in positive displacement pumps. Abel specializes in designing, developing, and manufacturing piston and piston diaphragm pumps as well as pumping solutions and in providing related parts and service. This equipment is sold under the ABEL^® Pump Technologybrand into the power generation, wastewater treatment, mining, general industry, and marine markets. The results of Abel are reported in our Process Equipment Group segment for the relevant periods.

Based on the final purchase allocation, we recorded goodwill of $36, and acquired identifiable intangible assets of $58, which consisted of $5 of trade names not subject to amortization, $9 of developed technology, $3 of backlog, and $41 of customer

Table of Contents

relationships. In addition, we recorded $14 of net tangible assets, primarily working capital. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes in Germany. Supplemental proforma information has not been provided as the acquisition did not have a material impact on consolidated results of operations.

Red Valve

On February 1, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Red Valve Company, Inc. (“Red Valve”) for $130.4 in cash, net of certain adjustments. We utilized borrowings under our Facility to fund this acquisition. Based in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, Red Valve is a global leader in highly-engineered valves designed to operate in the harshest municipal and industrial wastewater environments. Its products support mission critical applications in water/wastewater, power and mining, and other general industrial markets. The results of Red Valve are reported in our Process Equipment Group segment for the relevant periods.

Based on the final purchase allocation, we recorded goodwill of $59, and acquired identifiable intangible assets of $61, which consisted of $4 of trade names not subject to amortization, $8 of developed technology, $1 of backlog, and $48 of customer relationships. In addition, we recorded $10 of net tangible assets, primarily working capital. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Supplemental proforma information has not been provided as the acquisition did not have a material impact on consolidated results of operations.

Both of these acquisitions continue Hillenbrand’s strategy to transform into a world-class global diversified industrial company by increasing our ability to expand into new markets and geographies within the highly attractive flow control space. The fair value of these acquisitions did not ascribe a significant amount to tangible assets as our strategy is to acquire companies with a relatively low physical asset base in order to limit the need to invest significant additional cash post-acquisition.

5.	Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. With the exception of most trade names, intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to 21 years, representing the period over which we expect to receive future economic benefits from these assets. We assess the carrying value of most trade names annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment.

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and related accumulated amortization for intangible assets as of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

The net change in intangible assets during the six months ended March 31, 2017 was driven by normal amortization and foreign currency translation.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a trade name impairment charge of $2.2, included in operating expenses, on two trade names related to the Process Equipment Group segment. The decline in the estimated fair value of these trade names was largely driven by the decreased demand for equipment and parts used in coal mining and coal power. As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $13 of trade name book value in the Process Equipment Group segment significantly related to coal mining and coal power.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment tests. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units. We assess the carrying value of goodwill annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level.

With respect to the Facility, as of March 31, 2017, we had $9.1 in outstanding letters of credit issued and $472.4 of maximum borrowing capacity. $353.2 of this borrowing capacity is immediately available based on our leverage covenant at March 31, 2017, with additional amounts available in the event of a qualifying acquisition. The weighted-average interest rates on borrowings under the revolving credit facility were 1.44% and 1.42% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, and 1.46% and 1.35% for the same periods in the prior year. The weighted average facility fee was 0.23% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, and 0.21% and 0.19% for the same periods in the prior year. The weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 2.16% and 2.05% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, and 1.76% and 1.61% for the same periods in the prior year. We have interest rate swaps on $50.0 of outstanding borrowings under the Facility in order to manage exposure to our variable interest payments.

In the normal course of business, the Process Equipment Group provides to certain customers bank guarantees and other credit arrangements in support of performance, warranty, advance payment, and other contractual obligations. This form of trade finance is customary in the industry and, as a result, we are required to maintain adequate capacity to provide the guarantees. As of March 31, 2017, we had credit arrangements totaling $206.4, under which $118.9 was utilized for this purpose. These arrangements include our €150.0 Syndicated Letter of Guarantee Facility (as amended, the “LG Facility”) and other ancillary guarantee facilities.

The Facility, the LG Facility, and the Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2012 (the “Shelf Agreement”), among the Company, Prudential Investment Management and each Prudential Affiliate (as defined thereunder), governing the 4.60% Series A unsecured notes (the “Series A Notes”), require us to meet certain conditions including compliance with covenants, absence of default, and continued accuracy of certain representations and warranties. Financial covenants include a maximum ratio of Indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in the agreements) of 3.5 to 1.0 and a minimum ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the agreements) to interest expense of 3.5 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants.

The Facility, senior unsecured notes, Series A Notes, and LG Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the

Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

We had restricted cash of $3.3 and $0.8 included in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This standard became effective and was retrospectively adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, there were $1.1 and $1.2 in debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related debt liability under the senior unsecured notes and Series A Notes. The $1.1 in debt issuance costs as of March 31, 2017 will be amortized over the remaining term of the senior unsecured notes and Series A Notes. The retrospective adoption resulted in $1.2 of debt issuance costs being reclassified from other assets to a reduction of the carrying value of long-term debt as of September 30, 2016. The Company also adopted ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, and elected not to reclassify the debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements for the Facility and LG Facility.

During the first quarter of 2017, we made an $80.0 contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) using funds borrowed from our Facility. Although this action increased Plan assets and reduces expected 2017 pension expense, the majority of the pension expense savings in 2017 from this action is expected to be offset by the additional interest expense on the funds borrowed and certain tax effects from the transaction.

Also during the first and second quarters of 2017, we began implementing a plan to transition our U.S. employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement and our employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement at one of our facilities from a defined benefit-based model to a defined contribution structure over a three-year sunset period. This change caused remeasurements for the Plan for the affected populations. The remeasurements did not cause a material change as the assumptions did not materially differ from the assumptions at September 30, 2016.

Postretirement Healthcare Plans — Net postretirement healthcare costs were $0.1 and $0.2 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, and $0.1 and $0.2 for the same periods in the prior year.

Defined Contribution Plans — Expenses related to our defined contribution plans were $3.1 and $5.7 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, and $2.3 and $4.6 for the same periods in the prior year.


8.	Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 30.5% and 31.1%. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to an increase in the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits that occurred in 2016 but did not repeat in 2017 and the tax benefit recognized on share-based compensation in 2017. These favorable items were partially offset by a reduction of the tax benefit from the domestic manufacturer’s deduction that resulted from the contribution to the Plan as described above and an unfavorable geographic mix of pretax income. The effective tax rates for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 27.9% and 30.3%. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the six months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the tax benefit recognized on share-based compensation in 2017 and an increase in the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits that occurred in 2016 but did not repeat in 2017. These favorable items were partially offset by a reduction of the tax benefit from the domestic manufacturer’s deduction that resulted from the funding of our U.S. defined benefit pension plan.

9.	Earnings Per Share

The dilutive effects of performance-based stock awards were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share at the level the related performance criteria were met through the respective balance sheet date. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, potential dilutive effects, representing approximately 600,000 and 800,000 shares, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the related performance criteria were not yet met, although we expect to meet various levels of criteria in the future.

10.	Shareholders’ Equity

During the six months ended March 31, 2017, we paid approximately $26.0 of cash dividends. We also repurchased approximately 468,000 shares of our common stock during the six months ended March 31, 2017, at a total cost of approximately $17.0. In connection with our share-based compensation plans discussed further in Note 12, we also issued approximately 687,000 shares of common stock, of which approximately 597,000 shares were from treasury stock.

We have share-based compensation with long-term performance-based metrics that are contingent upon our relative total shareholder return and the creation of shareholder value. Relative total shareholder return is determined by comparing our total shareholder return during a three-year period to the respective total shareholder returns of 15 other companies in a designated performance peer group. Creation of shareholder value is measured by the cumulative cash returns and final period net operating profit after tax compared to the established hurdle rate over a three-year period. For the performance-based awards contingent upon the creation of shareholder value, compensation expense is adjusted each quarter based upon actual results to date and any changes to forecasted information on each of the separate grants.

During the six months ended March 31, 2017, we made the following grants:

Table of Contents



	Number of Units
Stock options	475,892
Time-based stock awards	35,983
Performance-based stock awards (maximum that can be earned)	301,168

Stock options granted during fiscal 2017 had a weighted-average exercise price of $36.09 and a weighted-average grant date fair value of $8.38. Our time-based stock awards and performance-based stock awards granted during fiscal 2017 had weighted-average grant date fair values of $36.19 and $39.70. Included in the performance-based stock awards granted during 2017 are 157,787 units whose payout level is based upon the Company’s relative total shareholder return over the three-year measurement period, as described above. These units will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the measurement period and are not subsequently adjusted after the grant date.

14.	Commitments and Contingencies

Like most companies, we are involved from time to time in claims, lawsuits, and government proceedings relating to our operations, including environmental, patent infringement, business practices, commercial transactions, product and general liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability, employment, and other matters. The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty. An estimated loss from these contingencies is recognized when we believe it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated; however, it is difficult to measure the actual loss that might be incurred related to litigation in many cases. If a loss is not considered probable and/or cannot be reasonably estimated, we are required to make a disclosure if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a significant loss may have been incurred. Legal fees associated with claims and lawsuits are generally expensed as incurred.

Claims other than employment and employment-related matters have deductibles and self-funded retentions up to $0.5 per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the type of coverage and policy period. Outside insurance companies and third-party claims administrators assist in establishing individual claim reserves, and an independent outside actuary provides estimates of ultimate projected losses, including incurred but not reported claims, which are used to establish reserves for losses. Claim reserves for employment-related matters are established based upon advice from internal and external counsel and historical settlement information for claims and related fees when such amounts are considered probable of payment.

The recorded amounts represent our best estimate of the costs we will incur in relation to such exposures, but it is possible that actual costs will differ from those estimates.


15.	Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:

Table of Contents



Level 1:	Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:	Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:	Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.



	Carrying Value at March 31, 2017		Fair Value at March 31, 2017 Using Inputs Considered as:
	Carrying Value at March 31, 2017		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	51.4	$	51.4	$	—	$	—
Investments in rabbi trust	3.9		3.9		—		—

Revolving credit facility	218.5		—		218.5		—
Term loan	155.3		—		155.3		—
$100 Series A Notes	100.0		—		106.6		—
Derivative instruments	3.7		—		3.7		—

The fair values of the revolving credit facility and term loan approximated carrying value at March 31, 2017. The fair values of the revolving credit facility, term loan, and Series A Notes are estimated based on internally developed models, using current market interest rate data for similar issues, as there is no active market for our revolving credit facility, term loan, or Series A Notes.

The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are based upon pricing models using inputs derived from third-party pricing services or observable market data such as currency spot and forward rates. These values are periodically validated by comparing to third-party broker quotes. The aggregate notional value of these foreign currency derivatives was $193.0 at March 31, 2017. The derivatives are included in other current assets, other assets, and other current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Throughout this Form 10-Q, we make a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. As the words imply, these are statements about future plans, objectives, beliefs, and expectations that might or might not happen in the future, as contrasted with historical information. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but by their very nature are subject to a wide range of risks.

Accordingly, in this Form 10-Q, we may say something like:

“We expect that future revenue associated with the Process Equipment Group will be influenced by order backlog.”

That is a forward-looking statement, as indicated by the word “expect” and by the clear meaning of the sentence.

Other words that could indicate we are making forward-looking statements include:

intend

believe

plan

expect

may

goal

would

become

pursue

estimate

will

forecast

continue

could

targeted

encourage

promise

improve

progress

potential

should

This is not an exhaustive list, but is intended to give you an idea of how we try to identify forward-looking statements. The absence of any of these words, however, does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

Here is the key point: Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements.

Any number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, could cause our performance to differ significantly from what is described in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements, see the discussions under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 16, 2016, and in Item 1A of Part II of this Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The following discussion compares our results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, to the same period in fiscal year 2016. The Company’s fiscal year ends on September 30. Unless otherwise stated, references to years relate to fiscal years. We begin the discussion at a consolidated level and then provide separate detail about the Process Equipment Group, Batesville, and Corporate. These financial results are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

We also provide certain non-GAAP operating performance measures. These non-GAAP measures are referred to as “adjusted” and exclude expenses associated with backlog intangible amortization, inventory step-up, business acquisition and integration, and restructuring and restructuring related charges. The related income tax for all of these items is also excluded. This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We use this non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results. The information can also be used to perform trend analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items. We believe this information provides a higher degree of transparency.

An important non-GAAP measure that we use is adjusted earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation, and amortization

(“adjusted EBITDA”). A part of Hillenbrand’s strategy is to selectively acquire companies that we believe can benefit from the Hillenbrand Operating Model (“HOM”) to spur faster and more profitable growth. Given that strategy, it is a natural

Table of Contents

consequence to incur related expenses, such as amortization from acquired intangible assets and additional interest expense from debt-funded acquisitions. Accordingly, we use adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, to monitor our business performance.

Another important non-GAAP operational measure used is backlog. Backlog is not a term recognized under GAAP; however, it is a common measurement used in industries with extended lead times for order fulfillment (long-term contracts), like those in which our Process Equipment Group competes. Order backlog represents the amount of consolidated revenue that we expect to realize on contracts awarded related to the Process Equipment Group. For purposes of calculating backlog, 100% of estimated revenue attributable to consolidated subsidiaries is included. Backlog includes expected revenue from large systems and equipment, as well as replacement parts, components, and service. The length of time that projects remain in backlog can span from days for replacement parts or service to approximately 18 months for larger system sales. Backlog includes expected revenue from the remaining portion of firm orders not yet completed, as well as revenue from change orders to the extent that they are reasonably expected to be realized. We include in backlog the full contract award, including awards subject to further customer approvals, which we expect to result in revenue in future periods. In accordance with industry practice, our contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination or suspension at the discretion of the customer.

We expect that future revenue associated with the Process Equipment Group will be influenced by backlog because of the lead time involved in fulfilling engineered-to-order equipment for customers. Although backlog can be an indicator of future revenue, it does not include projects and parts orders that are booked and shipped within the same quarter. The timing of order placement, size, extent of customization, and customer delivery dates can create fluctuations in backlog and revenue. Revenue attributable to backlog may also be affected by foreign exchange fluctuations for orders denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

We calculate the foreign currency impact on net revenue, gross profit, and operating expenses in order to better measure the comparability of results between periods. We calculate the foreign currency impact by translating current year results at prior year foreign exchange rates. This information is provided because exchange rates can distort the underlying change in sales, either positively or negatively. The cost structures for Corporate and Batesville are generally not significantly impacted by the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, and we do not disclose the foreign currency impact in the Operations Review below where the impact is not significant.

See page 34 for reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Our use of other non-GAAP measures in certain other instances includes information reconciling such non-GAAP measures to the respective most directly comparable GAAP measure. Given that there is no GAAP financial measure comparable to backlog, a quantitative reconciliation is not provided.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates, as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Net revenue increased $8.3 (2%), which included unfavorable foreign currency impact of $3.9.

•The Process Equipment Group’s net revenue increased $8.3 (4%), primarily due to the increased demand for large plastics projects and one additional month of Red Valve revenue ($3.7) compared to the prior year, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impact ($4.2) and lower demand for industrial equipment in other end markets, including parts and equipment used in power and mining (including coal).

•Batesville’s net revenue was flat compared to the prior year as higher estimated deaths were offset by the estimated increased rate at which families opted for cremation.

Gross profit increased $5.9 (4%), which included unfavorable foreign currency impact of $1.3. Gross profit margin improved 70 basis points to 37.6%.

•The Process Equipment Group’s gross profit increased $6.7 (8%), primarily driven by increased demand for large plastics projects, increased profits from one additional month of Red Valve results in the current year, inventory step-up charges related to the Red Valve acquisition in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017, and restructuring and restructuring related charges in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impact ($1.3) and lower demand for industrial equipment in other end markets, including parts and equipment used in power and mining (including coal). Gross profit margin improved 160 basis points to 36.1% in 2017, primarily driven by pricing improvements, savings related to restructuring actions taken in 2016, inventory step-up charges related to the Red Valve acquisition in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017, and a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

Gross profit included restructuring and restructuring related charges ($0.8 in 2016) and inventory step-up charges related to the Red Valve acquisition ($1.1 in 2016). Excluding these items, adjusted gross profit increased $4.8 (6%) and adjusted gross profit margin improved 80 basis points to 36.1% in 2017.

•Batesville’s gross profit decreased $0.8 (1%) and gross profit margin decreased 50 basis points to 40.1%. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily due to higher commodity and fuel costs.

Gross profit included restructuring and restructuring related charges ($0.3 in 2017 and $0.4 in 2016). Excluding these charges, adjusted gross profit decreased $0.9 (1%) and adjusted gross profit margin decreased 60 basis points to 40.3%, primarily driven by higher commodity and fuel costs.

Operating expenses decreased $1.7 (2%), primarily due to favorable foreign currency impact of $0.7, lower compensation and benefits resulting from fiscal 2016 restructuring actions, current year productivity initiatives, a decrease in business acquisition and integration costs, and a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges, partially offset by one additional month of Red Valve operating expenses in the current year and an increase in variable compensation.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue improved 90 basis points to 21.7%. Operating expenses included the following items:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Business acquisition and integration costs	$	0.3	$	1.1
Restructuring and restructuring related charges	1.0		2.8

On an adjusted basis, which excluded business acquisition and integration costs and restructuring and restructuring related charges, operating expenses increased $0.9 (1%). The increase in adjusted operating expenses was primarily driven by one additional month of Red Valve operating expenses in the current year and an increase in variable compensation, partially offset by favorable foreign currency impact of $0.7, lower compensation and benefits resulting from fiscal 2016 restructuring actions and current year productivity initiatives. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue improved 30 basis points in 2017 to 21.3%.

Amortization expense decreased $1.4, primarily due to backlog amortization related to Red Valve in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017.

Interest expense decreased $0.1, primarily due to a decrease in our weighted average outstanding borrowings.

Other (expense) income, net was $0.6 of other expense in fiscal 2017, compared to $0.9 of other expense in fiscal 2016. The decrease in expense was driven primarily by an improvement in the performance of limited partnership investments, partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange loss.

The effective tax rate was 30.5% in fiscal 2017 compared to 31.1% in fiscal 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits that occurred in 2016 but did not repeat in 2017 and the tax benefit recognized on share-based compensation in 2017. These favorable items were partially offset by a reduction of the tax benefit from the domestic manufacturer’s deduction that resulted from the contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan and an unfavorable geographic mix of pretax income. Our adjusted effective income tax rate was 30.9% in fiscal 2017 compared to 31.8% in fiscal 2016, which excludes the tax impact of adjustments discussed above.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2016

Net revenue increased $12.7 (2%), which included unfavorable foreign currency impact of $7.2.

•The Process Equipment Group’s net revenue increased $15.9 (4%), primarily due to increased demand for large plastics projects and four additional months of Red Valve revenue ($14.1) compared to the prior year, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impact ($7.5) and lower demand for industrial equipment in other end markets, including parts and equipment used in power and mining (including coal).

•Batesville’s net revenue decreased $3.2 (1%), primarily due to a decrease in volume ($6.6), partially offset by an increase in average selling price ($3.1). Lower volume was driven by a decrease in burial sales resulting from product line simplification and what we estimate to be a decrease in North American burials, driven by the increased rate at which families opted for cremation.

Gross profit increased $3.7 (1%), which included unfavorable foreign currency impact of $2.4. Gross profit margin decreased 20 basis points to 36.5%.

•The Process Equipment Group’s gross profit increased $13.3 (8%), primarily driven by increased demand for large plastics projects, increased profits from four additional months of Red Valve results in the current year, restructuring and restructuring related charges in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017, and inventory step-up charges related to the Abel and Red Valve acquisitions in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017, partially offset by unfavorable foreign

currency impact ($2.4) and lower demand for industrial equipment in other end markets, including parts and equipment used in power and mining (including coal). Gross profit margin improved 170 basis points to 36.5% in 2017, primarily driven by pricing improvements, the higher margin associated with Red Valve, a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges, inventory step-up charges related to the Abel and Red Valve acquisitions in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017, and savings related to restructuring actions taken in 2016, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

Gross profit included restructuring and restructuring related charges ($2.8 in 2016) and inventory step-up charges related to the Abel and Red Valve acquisitions ($2.5 in 2016). Excluding these items, adjusted gross profit increased $8.0 (5%) and adjusted gross profit margin improved 50 basis points to 36.5% in 2017.

•Batesville’s gross profit decreased $9.6 (8%) and gross profit margin decreased 290 basis points to 36.6%. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily due to an increase in restructuring and restructuring related charges, higher commodity and fuel costs, and the decline in volume, partially offset by the increase in average selling price.

Gross profit included restructuring and restructuring related charges ($6.7 in 2017 and $0.4 in 2016). Excluding these charges, adjusted gross profit decreased $3.3 (3%) and adjusted gross profit margin decreased 70 basis points to 39.0%, primarily driven by higher commodity and fuel costs and the decline in volume, partially offset by the increase in average selling price.

Operating expenses decreased $1.0 (1%), primarily due to favorable foreign currency impact of $1.4, lower compensation and benefits resulting from fiscal 2016 restructuring actions, current year productivity initiatives, a decrease in acquisition and integration costs and a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges, partially offset by four additional months of Red Valve operating expenses in the current year and an increase in variable compensation. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue improved 50 basis points to 22.4%. Operating expenses included the following items:



	Six Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Business acquisition and integration costs	$	0.6	$	2.8
Restructuring and restructuring related charges	2.7		4.2

On an adjusted basis, which excluded business acquisition and integration costs and restructuring and restructuring related charges, operating expenses increased $2.7 (2%). The increase in adjusted operating expenses was primarily driven by four additional months of Red Valve operating expenses in the current year and an increase in variable compensation, partially offset by favorable foreign currency impact of $1.4, lower compensation and benefits resulting from fiscal 2016 restructuring actions and current year productivity initiatives. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was flat from 2016 to 2017.

Amortization expense decreased $4.0, primarily due to backlog amortization related to Abel and Red Valve in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017, partially offset by amortization on the acquired intangibles of Red Valve.

Interest expense increased $0.1, primarily due to an increase in variable interest rates.

Other (expense) income, net was $1.9 of other expense in fiscal 2017, compared to $1.6 of other expense in fiscal 2016. The increase in expense was driven by an increase in foreign exchange loss, partially offset by an improvement in the performance of limited partnership investments.

The effective tax rate was 27.9% in fiscal 2017 compared to 30.3% in fiscal 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the tax benefit recognized on share-based compensation in 2017 and an increase in the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits that occurred in 2016 but did not repeat in 2017. These favorable items were partially offset by a reduction of the tax benefit from the domestic manufacturer’s deduction that resulted from the contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan. Our adjusted effective income tax rate was 29.0% in fiscal 2017 compared to 31.2% in fiscal 2016, which excludes the tax impact of adjustments discussed above.

Consolidated net income increased $6.8 (25%) for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. The increase was primarily driven by the increased demand for large plastics projects, pricing improvements, savings related to restructuring actions taken in 2016, increased earnings associated with the acquisition of Red Valve, a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges, inventory step-up charges related to Red Valve in 2016 that did not repeat in 2017, a reduction in business acquisition and integration costs, and improvement in the effective tax rate. This increase in consolidated net income was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impact ($0.3), unfavorable product mix, and lower demand for industrial equipment in other end markets, including parts and equipment used in power and mining (including coal).

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased $2.5 (4%) for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. The increase was primarily driven by increased demand for large plastics projects, pricing improvements, savings related to restructuring actions taken in 2016, and increased earnings associated with the acquisition of Red Valve. This increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impact ($0.5), unfavorable product mix, and lower demand for industrial equipment in other end markets, including parts and equipment used in power and mining (including coal).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In this section, we discuss our ability to access cash to meet business needs. We discuss how we see cash flow being affected for the next twelve months and how we intend to use it. We describe actual results in generating and utilizing cash by

Table of Contents

comparing the first six months of 2017 to the same period last year. Finally, we identify other significant matters that could affect liquidity on an ongoing basis.

Ability to Access Cash

Our debt financing includes long-term notes, including the Series A Notes, and our revolving credit facility and term loan (the “Facility”) as part of our overall financing strategy. We believe we have ready access to capital markets and regularly review the optimal mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. In addition to cash balances and our ability to access additional long-term financing, we had $472.4 of maximum borrowing capacity available under the Facility as of March 31, 2017, of which $353.2 of borrowing capacity is immediately available based on our leverage covenant at March 31, 2017, with additional amounts available in the event of a qualifying acquisition. The available borrowing capacity reflects a reduction of $9.1 for outstanding letters of credit issued under the Facility. The Company may request an increase of up to $300.0 in the total borrowing capacity under the Facility, subject to approval of the lenders.

In the normal course of business, the Process Equipment Group provides to certain customers bank guarantees and other credit arrangements in support of performance, warranty, advance payment, and other contractual obligations. This form of trade finance is customary in the industry and, as a result, we are required to maintain adequate capacity to provide the guarantees. As of March 31, 2017, we had guarantee arrangements totaling $206.4, under which $118.9 was utilized for this purpose. These arrangements include a €150.0 Syndicated Letter of Guarantee Facility (as amended, the “LG Facility”) under which unsecured letters of credit, bank guarantees, or other surety bonds may be issued. The Company may request an increase to the total capacity under the LG Facility by an additional €70.0, subject to approval of the lenders.

We have significant operations outside the U.S. The majority of foreign earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign jurisdictions where the Company has made, and intends to continue to make, substantial investments to support the ongoing development and growth of our international operations. Accordingly, no significant U.S. federal and state income taxes have been accrued on the portion of our foreign earnings that is considered to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. We do not intend, nor do we foresee a need, to repatriate these earnings; however, repatriation of these earnings under current regulatory and tax law for use in domestic operations would expose us to additional taxes. The cash at our international subsidiaries totaled $45.6 at March 31, 2017.

12-month Outlook

We believe the 12-month outlook for our business remains positive. Although cash flow from operations in the Process Equipment Group naturally experiences substantial fluctuations driven by changes in working capital requirements at Coperion (due to the type of product and geography of customer projects in process at any point in time), we believe we have significant flexibility to meet our financial commitments, including working capital needs, capital expenditures, and financing obligations. We expect to continue to use a combination of some of our cash flows from operations and our Facility to fund acquisitions. In considering attractive targets, we often look for companies with a relatively low physical asset base, in order to limit the need to invest significant additional cash into targets post-acquisition.

Our anticipated contribution to our pension plans in 2017 is $89.5, of which $85.3 was made during the six months ended March 31, 2017, utilizing borrowings under our Facility. We will continue to monitor plan funding levels, performance of the assets within the plans, and overall economic activity, and we may make additional discretionary funding decisions based on the net impact of the above factors.

We currently expect to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future comparable to those we paid in 2016, which will require approximately $13.0 each quarter based on our outstanding common stock at March 31, 2017. We increased our quarterly dividend in 2017 to $0.2050 per common share from $0.2025 per common share paid in 2016. On July 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 of our common stock. On February 23, 2017, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $100.0 to the existing stock repurchase program. The authorization brings the maximum cumulative repurchase authorization up to $200.0. We may elect to repurchase our common stock, depending on market conditions and other needs for cash consistent with our growth strategy. We repurchased approximately 468,000 shares of our common stock during the second quarter of fiscal 2017, at a total cost of approximately $17.0. At March 31, 2017, we had approximately $111.6 remaining for share repurchases under the existing authorization by the Board of Directors.

We believe existing cash, cash flows from operations, and the issuance of debt will be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities. Based on these factors, we believe our current liquidity position is strong and will continue to meet all of our financial commitments for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows



	Six Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2017			2016
Cash flows provided by (used in)
Operating activities	$	19.8		$	87.2
Investing activities	(7.0		)	(245.2		)
Financing activities	(12.8		)	154.5

Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(0.6	)	$	(5.1	)

Operating Activities

Operating activities provided $19.8 of cash during the first six months of fiscal year 2017, and provided $87.2 of cash during the first six months of fiscal year 2016, a $67.4 (77%) decrease. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to our $80.0 contribution to the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan in 2017, partially offset by a decrease of $17.1 in cash paid for taxes.

Working capital requirements for the Process Equipment Group may fluctuate in the future due primarily to the type of product and geography of customer projects in process at any point in time. Working capital needs are lower when advance payments from customers are more heavily weighted toward the beginning of the project. Conversely, working capital needs are higher when a larger portion of the cash is to be received in later stages of manufacturing.

Investing Activities

The $238.2 decrease in cash used in investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the acquisition of Abel in October 2015 and Red Valve in February 2016.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was largely impacted by net borrowing activity. Our general practice is to utilize our cash to pay down debt unless it is needed to fund an acquisition. Daily borrowing and repayment activity under the Facility may fluctuate significantly between periods as we fulfill the capital needs of our business units. Cash used in financing activities during the first six months of 2017 was $12.8, including $20.2 of proceeds, net of debt repayments. Cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2016 was $154.5. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to borrowings used to fund the acquisition of Abel and Red Valve in fiscal 2016 that did not repeat in fiscal 2017 and an increase in repurchases of common stock, partially offset by the borrowings used to fund the $80.0 contribution to the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan in 2017, and an increase in proceeds received from stock plans.

We returned approximately $26.0 to shareholders during the first six months of 2017 in the form of quarterly dividends. We increased our quarterly dividend in 2017 to $0.2050 per common share from $0.2025 per common share paid during 2016. We repurchased approximately 468,000 shares of our common stock in 2017, at a total cost of approximately $17.0.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information pertaining to legal proceedings can be found in Note 14 to the interim consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

For information regarding the risks we face, see the discussion under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the additional risk factor below.

Changes in the United States political environment could negatively impact our business.

The recent presidential and congressional elections in the United States could result in significant changes in, and uncertainty with respect to, legislation, regulation and government policy. While it is not possible to predict whether and when any such changes will occur, changes at the local, state or federal level could significantly impact our business and the industries in which we compete. Specific legislative and regulatory proposals discussed during and after the election that could have a material impact on us include, but are not limited to, changes to existing trade agreements, import and export regulations, tariffs and customs duties, income tax regulations and the federal tax code, public company reporting requirements, environmental regulation and antitrust enforcement. To the extent changes in the political environments have a negative impact on our markets, it may materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition in the periods to come.
