Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors
Twin Disc, Incorporated
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in business equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements).
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

VETH PROPULSION HOLDING B.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSAND EUROS)
A. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On July 2, 2018, Twin Disc, Incorporated (“Twin Disc” or the “Company”) acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Exploitatiemaatschappij Veth B.V., Veth Diesel B.V., Veth Electra B.V., Veth Propulsion B.V. and Veth Thrusters B.V. (“Veth Subsidiaries”, and together with Veth Propulsion Holding B.V., “Veth Propulsion”).
Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. was incorporated on June 12, 2018 to facilitate its acquisition by Twin Disc NL Holding, B.V., a wholly-owned Twin Disc subsidiary. Prior to the creation of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V., the Veth Subsidiaries operated under a privately held Dutch parent company.
Veth Propulsion is a global manufacturer of highly-engineered auxiliary propulsions and propulsion machinery for maritime vessels, including rudder propellers, bow thrusters, and generator sets based in the Netherlands. It primarily sells direct to the shipbuilder through a direct sales force that focuses on custom solutions and applications. It is also engaged in engine service and repair, and is a global supplier of main and auxiliary marine propulsion products.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements pertain to the historical operations and financial condition of the Veth Subsidiaries prior to the Twin Disc acquisition and were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and for the purpose of complying with financial information required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Because Veth Propulsion was not a legal entity prior to its incorporation on June 12, 2018, the business equity balances presented herein represent the net assets of the acquired business and are not historical balances of the stockholders’ equity of the Veth Subsidiaries under direct ownership by the previous parent company.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional currency of Veth Propulsion is the euro. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements were prepared in euros. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.
Cash
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalent.
Accounts Receivable
These represent trade accounts receivable and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts for certain customers where a risk of default has been specifically identified is recorded, as well as provisions determined on a general basis when it is believed that some default is probable and estimable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Management specifically identifies obsolete products and analyzes historical usage, forecasted production based on future orders, demand forecasts, and economic trends, among others, when evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged against earnings as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Income Taxes
Veth Propulsion recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets where it is considered more likely than not that the benefit of such assets will not be realized. Management evaluates its uncertain tax positions as new information becomes available. Tax benefits are recognized to the extent a position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable (included in other assets) and accounts payable approximate fair value primarily because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. If measured at fair value, cash would be classified as Level 1 and all other items listed above would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and ownership has transferred to the customer; the price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized at the time product is delivered to the customer, net of discounts and indirect taxes such as the Value Added Tax (“VAT”). Management has performed an assessment of the impact of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers on its financial reporting. It does not anticipate that there will be a significant impact to its financial statements. It plans to adopt the new guidance in July 2018, the first period it is required to be in compliance.
Leases
Management has performed an assessment of the impact of the new leasing guidance under ASU 2016-02 on its financial reporting. It plans to adopt the new guidance in July 2018, and anticipates recording a right of use asset and corresponding liability in the approximate amount of €8,000 – €10,000.
Subsequent Event
Veth Propulsion’s policy is to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued. Accordingly, management has evaluated subsequent events through August 29, 2018. These financial statements include relevant disclosures relating to the acquisition of Veth Propulsion by Twin Disc on July 2, 2018.
C. INVENTORIES
The major classes of inventories were as follows:
Raw materials |
€ | 12,190 | ||
Work in progress projects |
5,979 | |||
Reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories |
(1,693 | ) | ||
€ | 16,476 |
Work in progress projects pertain to custom designed projects commissioned by third party customers. They are carried at the accumulated actual costs, including raw materials, labor, and outsourced services, incurred to date. If accumulated costs exceed the revenue expected to be collected, an allowance for losses is accrued.
Veth Propulsion’s policy is to collect customer deposits upon acceptance of custom projects. These deposits are included in accounts payable and customer deposits in the accompanying balance sheet.
D. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment were as follows:
Machinery and equipment |
€ | 2,030 | ||
Vehicles |
1,092 | |||
Computer equipment, furniture and fixtures |
891 | |||
Other |
302 | |||
Total |
€ | 4,315 | ||
Accumulated depreciation |
(3,100 | ) | ||
€ | 1,215 |
Depreciation expense for the year was €473 and is included in marketing, engineering, and administrative expense.
E. OTHER ASSETS
This pertains to interest-bearing notes receivable from certain customers, some of which are covered by guarantees from a bank, with maturities ranging from 1 to 4 years, and interest rates ranging from 2% to 4%.
F. WARRANTY
Veth Propulsion products generally carry a one-year warranty against defective materials and/or workmanship. The warranty reserve is established based on management’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. When evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for warranty costs, management takes into consideration the term of the warranty coverage, historical claim rates and costs of repair, knowledge of the type and volume of new products and economic trends.
Warranty account movements are as follows:
Accrued warranty, beginning of the period |
€ | 417 | ||
Provisions during the year |
344 | |||
Claims |
(333 | ) | ||
Accrued warranty, end of the period |
€ | 428 |
G. PENSION AND BENEFIT PLANS
Multi-employer plan
Veth Propulsion employees in the Netherlands (approximately 150) participate in a multi-employer union plan, “Pensioenfonds Metaal & Techniek”, (“PMT”) determined in accordance with the collective bargaining agreements effective for the industry in which Veth Propulsion operates. This collective bargaining agreement expires on May 31, 2019 subject to modifications and automatic renewal provisions. This multi-employer union plan covers approximately 33,500 employers and approximately 378,000 contributing members. Veth Propulsion’s contribution to the multi-employer union plan is less than 5% of the total contribution to the plan as per the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2017. The plan monitors its risks on a global basis, not by company or employee, and is subject to regulation by Dutch governmental authorities. By law (the Dutch Pension Act), a multi-employer union plan must be monitored against specific criteria, including the coverage ratio of the plan assets to its obligations. This coverage ratio must exceed 104.3% for the total plan. Every company participating in a Dutch multi-employer union plan contributes a premium calculated as a percentage of its total pensionable salaries, with each company subject to the same percentage contribution rate. The premium can fluctuate yearly based on the coverage ratio of the multi-employer union plan. The pension rights of each employee are based upon the employee’s average salary during employment.
The coverage ratio of the multi-employer union plan increased to 102.2% as of December 31, 2017 (compared to 97.2% as of December 31, 2016). Because of the low coverage ratio PMT prepared and executed a “Recovery Plan” which was approved by De Nederlandsche Bank, the Dutch central bank, which is the supervisor of all pension companies in the Netherlands. The pension premium percentage is 23.0% in 2017 (23.5% in 2016). The coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the plan assets by the total sum of pension liabilities and is based on actual market interest.
Veth Propulsion accounts for the multi-employer plan as if it were a defined contribution plan. As the manager of the plan, PMT stated that its internal administrative systems do not enable PMT to provide its members with the required company-specific information in order to account for the plan as a defined benefit plan. Veth Propulsion’s net periodic pension cost for the multi-employer plan for any period is equal to the required contribution for that period. The amount contributed in 2017 was €1,405.
A contingent liability may arise from, for example, possible actuarial losses relating to other participating companies because each company that participates in a multi-employer plan shares in the actuarial risks of other participating companies or any responsibility under the terms of a plan to finance any shortfall in the plan if other companies cease to participate. If Veth Propulsion chooses to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, it may be required to pay a withdrawal liability.
Jubilee fund
Veth Propulsion maintains a jubilee fund, which is a fund established to pay benefits when employees reach applicable jubilee or service milestones. The fund is determined based on a probability of qualified employees reaching anniversary milestones. The fund balance as of December 31, 2017 was €247.
H. LINES OF CREDIT
The Veth Subsidiaries, as part of a group of companies under its predecessor Dutch parent, have unused credit facilities, including letters of credit guarantees to its suppliers, of approximately €1,733 at December 31, 2017, at interest rates determined by the three-month Euribor rate plus 130 basis points. These facilities expired at the date of the acquisition.
I. LEASE COMMITMENTS
Veth Propulsion leased its office and warehouse space from an affiliate related through prior ownership. During the 2017 calendar year, rent expense was €1,584. On July 1, 2018, as part of the acquisition by Twin Disc, it entered into a new lease agreement, covering the same premises with the same party, for a period of 15 years. Under this agreement, the initial annual lease payment is for 1 million euros, and subsequently adjusted annually for potential increases based on the published consumer price index. Excluding the impact of this potential inflation-indexed rent increase, Veth Propulsion’s lease commitments are as follows:
2018 |

VETH PROPULSION HOLDING, B.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSAND EUROS)
A. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On July 2, 2018, Twin Disc, Incorporated (“Twin Disc” or the “Company”) acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Exploitatiemaatschappij Veth B.V., Veth Diesel B.V., Veth Electra B.V., Veth Propulsion B.V. and Veth Thrusters B.V. (“Veth Subsidiaries”, and together with Veth Propulsion Holding B.V., “Veth Propulsion”).
Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. was incorporated on June 12, 2018 to facilitate its acquisition by Twin Disc NL Holding, B.V., a wholly-owned Twin Disc subsidiary. Prior to the creation of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V., the Veth Subsidiaries operated under a privately held Dutch parent company.
Veth Propulsion is a global manufacturer of highly-engineered auxiliary propulsions and propulsion machinery for maritime vessels, including rudder propellers, bow thrusters, and generator sets based in the Netherlands. It primarily sells direct to the shipbuilder through a direct sales force that focuses on custom solutions and applications. It is also engaged in engine service and repair, and is a global supplier of main and auxiliary marine propulsion products.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements pertain to the historical operations and financial condition of the Veth Subsidiaries prior to the Twin Disc acquisition and were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and for the purpose of complying with financial information required by the U.S. SEC. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. It is suggested that these financial information be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial informaion as of December 31, 2017 and notes thereto.
Because Veth Propulsion was not a legal entity prior to its incorporation on June 12, 2018, the business equity balances presented herein represent the net assets of the acquired business and are not historical balances of the stockholders’ equity of the Veth Subsidiaries under direct ownership by the previous parent company.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional currency of Veth Propulsion is the euro. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements were prepared in euros. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.
Cash
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalent.
Accounts Receivable
These represent trade accounts receivable and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts for certain customers where a risk of default has been specifically identified is recorded, as well as provisions determined on a general basis when it is believed that some default is probable and estimable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Management specifically identifies obsolete products and analyzes historical usage, forecasted production based on future orders, demand forecasts, and economic trends, among others, when evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged against earnings as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable (included in other assets) and accounts payable approximate fair value primarily because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. If measured at fair value, cash would be classified as Level 1 and all other items listed above would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and ownership has transferred to the customer; the price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized at the time product is delivered to the customer, net of discounts and indirect taxes such as the VAT. Management has performed an assessment of the impact of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers on its financial reporting. It does not anticipate that there will be a significant impact to its financial statements. It plans to adopt the new guidance in July 2018, the first period it is required to be in compliance.
Leases
Management has performed an assessment of the impact of the new leasing guidance under ASU 2016-02 on its financial reporting. It plans to adopt the new guidance in July 2018, and anticipates recording a right of use asset and corresponding liability in the approximate amount of €8,000 – €10,000.
Subsequent Event
Veth Propulsion’s policy is to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued. Accordingly, management has evaluated subsequent events through August 29, 2018. These financial statements include relevant disclosures relating to the acquisition of Veth Propulsion by Twin Disc on July 2, 2018.

F. WARRANTY
Veth Propulsion products generally carry a one-year warranty against defective materials and/or workmanship. The warranty reserve is established based on management’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. When evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for warranty costs, management takes into consideration the term of the warranty coverage, historical claim rates and costs of repair, knowledge of the type and volume of new products and economic trends.

G. PENSION AND BENEFIT PLANS
Multi-employer plan
Veth Propulsion employees in the Netherlands (approximately 150), participate in a multi-employer union plan, “Pensioenfonds Metaal & Techniek”, (“PMT”) determined in accordance with the collective bargaining agreements effective for the industry in which Veth Propulsion operates. This collective bargaining agreement expires on May 31, 2019 subject to modifications and automatic renewal provisions. This multi-employer union plan covers approximately 33,500 employers and approximately 378,000 contributing members. Veth Propulsion’s contribution to the multi-employer union plan is less than 5% of the total contribution to the plan as per the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2017. The plan monitors its risks on a global basis, not by company or employee, and is subject to regulation by Dutch governmental authorities. By law (the Dutch Pension Act), a multi-employer union plan must be monitored against specific criteria, including the coverage ratio of the plan assets to its obligations. This coverage ratio must exceed 104.3% for the total plan. Every company participating in a Dutch multi-employer union plan contributes a premium calculated as a percentage of its total pensionable salaries, with each company subject to the same percentage contribution rate. The premium can fluctuate yearly based on the coverage ratio of the multi-employer union plan. The pension rights of each employee are based upon the employee’s average salary during employment.
The coverage ratio of the multi-employer union plan increased to 101.8% as of June 30, 2018 (compared to 101.4% as of June 30, 2017). Because of the low coverage ratio PMT prepared and executed a “Recovery Plan” which was approved by De Nederlandsche Bank, the Dutch central bank, which is the supervisor of all pension companies in the Netherlands. The pension premium percentage is 22.6% in 2018 (23.0% in 2017). The coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the plan assets by the total sum of pension liabilities and is based on actual market interest.
Veth Propulsion accounts for the multi-employer plan as if it were a defined contribution plan. As the manager of the plan, PMT stated that its internal administrative systems do not enable PMT to provide its members with the required company-specific information in order to account for the plan as a defined benefit plan. Veth Propulsion’s net periodic pension cost for the multi-employer plan for any period is equal to the required contribution for that period. The amount contributed during the first six months of 2018 and 2017 were €784 and €711, respectively.
A contingent liability may arise from, for example, possible actuarial losses relating to other participating companies because each company that participates in a multi-employer plan shares in the actuarial risks of other participating companies or any responsibility under the terms of a plan to finance any shortfall in the plan if other companies cease to participate. If Veth Propulsion chooses to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, it may be required to pay a withdrawal liability.
Jubilee fund
Veth Propulsion maintains a jubilee fund, which is a fund established to pay benefits when employees reach applicable jubilee or service milestones. The fund is determined based on a probability of qualified employees reaching anniversary milestones. The fund balances as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were €258 and €246, respectively.
H. LINES OF CREDIT
The Veth Subsidiaries, as part of a group of companies under its predecessor Dutch parent, have unused credit facilities, including letters of credit guarantees to its suppliers, of approximately €1,667 at June 30, 2018, at interest rates determined by the three-month Euribor rate plus 130 basis points. These facilities expired at the date of the acquisition.
I. LEASE COMMITMENTS
Veth leased its office and warehouse space from an affiliate related through prior ownership. On July 1, 2018, as part of the acquisition by Twin Disc, it entered into a new lease agreement, covering the same premises and with the same party for a period of 15 years. Under this agreement, the initial annual lease payment is for €1 million, and subsequently adjusted annually for potential increases based on the published consumer price index. Excluding the impact of this potential inflation-indexed rent increase, Veth Propulsion’s lease commitments are as follows:

Exhibit 99.3
TWIN DISC, INCORPORATED
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
On July 2, 2018, Twin Disc, Incorporated (“Twin Disc” or the “Company”) acquired all of outstanding common stock of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Exploitatiemaatschappij Veth B.V., Veth Diesel B.V., Veth Electra B.V., Veth Propulsion B.V. and Veth Thrusters B.V. (“Veth Subsidiaries”, and together with Veth Propulsion Holding B.V., “Veth Propulsion”). Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. was incorporated on June 12, 2018 to facilitate its acquisition by Twin Disc NL Holding, B.V., a wholly-owned Twin Disc subsidiary. Prior to the creation of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V., the Veth Subsidiaries operated under a privately held Dutch parent company.
The Company financed the payment of the cash consideration through borrowings of $60,729 under a new credit agreement entered into on June 29, 2018 with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement consists of a term loan facility of $35 million and a revolving loan facility of $50 million. The Company may elect that the term loan and each revolving loan be either “LIBOR Loans” or Eurodollar Loans”. Under the Credit Agreement, the old loan was assigned to and assumed by BMO Harris Bank, N.A. from the Bank of Montreal, an affiliate. The old revolver loan of about $4.9M was paid off, and a new drawdown was made under the new Credit Agreement.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2018 has been prepared by Twin Disc and gives effect to the acquisition of Veth Propulsion as if the acquisition had occurred, and the Credit Agreement had been entered into, on July 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 assumes the acquisition of Veth Propulsion had occurred, and the Credit Agreement had been entered into, on June 30, 2018. Veth Propulsion’s functional currency is the euro and its historical financial statements were prepared on that basis. The accompanying financial statements of Veth Propulsion reflect the translation of those euro balances to US dollars using the current and average exchange rates in effect as of June 30, 2018.
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition and related transactions, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s financial results. Pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet include adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the acquisition and related transactions and are factually supportable, regardless of whether they have a continuing impact or are nonrecurring. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared for informational and illustrative purposes in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
JUNE 30, 2018
(All amounts are approximate and in U.S.Dollars; in thousands, unless indicated otherwise)
1. The Acquisition and Related Transactions, including the New Credit Agreement
On July 2, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Veth Propulsion”). Veth Propulsion is a global manufacturer of highly-engineered auxiliary propulsions and propulsion machinery for maritime vessels, including rudder propellers, bow thrusters, generator sets and engine service and repair supplier of main and auxiliary marine propulsion products, based in the Netherlands. These products are complementary to and expand the Company’s current product offerings in the marine and propulsion markets. Prior to the acquisition, the Company was a distributor of Veth products in North America and Asia. This acquisition was pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) entered into by Twin Disc NL Holding B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with Het Komt Vast Goed B.V., the parent of Veth Propulsion Holding B.V., on June 13, 2018.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid an aggregate of about $60,729 in cash at closing, which included a base payment plus adjustments for net cash and working capital. This amount is subject to a final determination of working capital adjustments, which is expected to settle in September 2018, and an earn-out. The maximum earn-out is about $4 million. The earn-out will be paid if the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of Veth Propulsion’s fiscal 2018 as defined in the Purchase Agreement (“EBITDA”) exceeds the agreed upon threshold amount. The earn-out will be paid in the form of Company stock or cash, and will be determined in April 2019. The pro forma earnings per share calculations in the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not include these contingently issuable shares.
The Company financed the payment of the cash consideration through borrowings of $60,729 under a new credit agreement entered into on June 29, 2018 with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement consists of a term loan facility of $35 million and a revolving loan facility of $50 million. The Company may elect that the term loan and each revolving loan be either “LIBOR Loans” or Eurodollar Loans”. In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, a prior note and related ancillary agreements were assigned to and assumed by BMO Harris Bank, N.A. from the Bank of Montreal, an affiliate. The prior revolver loan of about $4,900 was paid off, and a new drawdown was made under the new Credit Agreement.
At acquisition date, the Company drew on the loans with the respective interest rates, as follows:
Loans Drawn |
Interest rates |
One year |
||||||||||
Term loan |
$ | 35,000 | 5.09% | $ | 1,782 | |||||||
Euro revolver |
$ | 17,450 | 4.34% | $ | 757 | |||||||
US$ revolver |
8,279 | 2.25% | 186 | |||||||||
$ | 25,729 | $ | 2,725 |
As part of the acquisition, the Company entered into a fifteen-year lease with the Het Komt Vast Goed B.V., the owner of the real property where Veth Propulsion’s operations are located. Under this lease, the Company pays an annual rent of $1,168, with provisions for increasing rent based on the prevailing consumer price index.
One-time transaction costs related to the acquisition were recorded as of June 30, 2018 by the Company and Veth Propulsion and are included in marketing, engineering and administrative expenses in the statement of operations. See Note 5 regarding pro forma adjustments relating to these costs.
As of June 30, 2018, in its role as a Veth distributor, the Company carried inventory in the amount $430 and accounts receivable from Veth in the amount of $733. See Note 5 regarding pro forma adjustments relating to other intercompany relationships that were eliminated as part of these pro forma statements.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical financial information of Twin Disc and Veth Propulsion (as further explained below) after giving effect to the acquisition of Veth Propulsion by Twin Disc using the acquisition method of accounting under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“US GAAP”), which is subject to change and interpretation and applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Twin Disc has been treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The acquisition accounting related to this unaudited pro forma information is dependent upon certain independent valuations and other studies that are still in process and under review by management and not yet finalized. The pro forma adjustments included herein have been made solely for the purposes of providing unaudited condensed combined financial information. Differences between the estimates reflected in this unaudited pro forma information and the final acquisition accounting will likely occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations combine the historical results for Twin Disc and Veth Propulsion for the year ended June 30, 2018 and include pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition and related transactions as described in Note 1, occurred on July 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical results for Twin Disc and Veth Propulsion as of June 30, 2018 and includes pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition and related transactions occurred on June 30, 2018.
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition and related transactions, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s financial results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our combined consolidated financial condition or results of operations actually would have been had we completed the acquisition at the dates indicated above. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the combined company.
Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisition, the costs to integrate the operations of Twin Disc and Veth Propulsion or the costs necessary to achieve these costs savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements.
Transactions between Twin Disc and Veth Propulsion during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been eliminated. See Note 5 Pro forma Adjustments.

Total |
$ | 64,033 |
At the effective date of the acquisition, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are required to be measured at fair value. The following summarizes the preliminary estimate of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired |
|||||
Cash and cash equivalents |

The foregoing fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is pending completion of several elements, including the finalization of an independent appraisal and valuations of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and final review by the Company’s management. Accordingly, there could be material adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense related to the valuation of intangible assets acquired and their respective useful lives among other adjustments. The final determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be based on the established fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. The final determination of the purchase price, fair values and resulting goodwill may differ significantly from what is reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The following information provides further details about the estimated net step-up in fair value and/or the estimated fair value at the acquisition date for some key balance sheet items.
(a) Inventories
This consists of:
Raw materials |
$ | 13,297 | ||
Projects work in progress at fair value |
14,344 | |||
Inventories at fair value |
27,641 | |||
Inventories at book value |
22,926 | |||
Step-up |
$ | 4,715 |
As of the effective date of the acquisition, inventory is required to be measured at fair value. Raw materials are typically utilized in operations within one year of purchase and therefore book values approximate fair value. Projects work in progress are estimated to be approximately 70% complete, and the step to fair value less estimated costs to complete and sell resulted in a step up value of approximately $4,715.
(b) Property Plant and Equipment net book value approximates fair value.
(c) Intangible assets
This consists of:
Estimated fair value |
Estimated average useful lives |
Annual amortization |
||||||||||
Customer relationships |
$ | 13,600 | 12 | $ | 1,133 | |||||||
Technology and know-how |

Tradename |
1,800 | 10 | 180 | |||||||||
Total |
$ | 23,700 | $ | 2,499 |
The preliminary fair values were determined primarily using an income method, which utilizes financial forecasts of expected future cash flows. Some of the more significant assumptions used in the development of intangible assets values include: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in future cash flows, and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle and competitive trends impacting the asset, as well as other factors.
(d) Deferred tax liability represents the deferred tax impact of the step up, as follows:
Inventory step-up |
$ | 4,715 | ||
Identifiable intangible assets |
23,700 | |||
Total step-up |
28,415 | |||
Esitmated effective tax rate |

Deferred tax liability |
$ | 6,535 |
The fair values presented above are preliminary until the Company completes its work with the use of a third party valuation firm, and are subject to change. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of assets and liabilities will impact residual goodwill and may affect future earnings.
