Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (“Manitowoc” or the “Company”)was founded in 1902 and has over a 120-year tradition of providing high-quality, customer-focused products and support services to its markets. Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, Manitowoc is one of the world's leading providers of engineered lifting solutions. Manitowoc, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, designs, manufactures, markets, distributes, and supports comprehensive product lines of mobile hydraulic cranes, lattice-boom crawler cranes, boom trucks, and tower cranes under the Aspen Equipment, Grove, Manitowoc, MGX Equipment Services, National Crane, Potain, and Shuttlelift brand names. The Company serves a wide variety of customers, including dealers, rental companies, contractors, and government entities, across the petrochemical, industrial, commercial construction, power and utilities, infrastructure and residential construction end markets. Due to the ongoing and predictable maintenance needed by cranes, as well as the high cost of crane downtime, Manitowoc’s aftermarket support operations provide the Company with a consistent stream of recurring revenue.
The Company hasthree reportable segments, the Americas segment, the Europe and Africa ("EURAF") segment and the Middle East and Asia Pacific (“MEAP”) segment. The Americas segment includes the North America and South America continents. The EURAF reporting segment includes the Europe and Africa continents, excluding the Middle East region. The MEAP reporting segment includes the Asia and Australia continents and the Middle East region. The segments were identified using the “management approach,” which designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Refer to Note 16, “Segments,” for additional information.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the cash flows for the same nine month periods and the financial positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and except as otherwise discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. The audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited annual financial statements. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations dealing with interim financial statements. However, the Company believes that the disclosures made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.
All amounts, except per share data and per share amounts, are in millions throughout the tables in these notes unless otherwise indicated.
- Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced footnote disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

- Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities related to foreign currency exchange contracts (“FX Forward Contracts”)and The Manitowoc Company, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

| FX Forward Contracts | $— | $0.6 | $— | $0.6 | Accounts payable and accrued expenses |
The fair value of the $300.0 million senior secured second lien notes due on October 1, 2031, with an annual coupon rate of 9.250% (the “2031 Notes”), was approximately $307.5 million as of September 30, 2024. See Note 10, “Debt,” for a description of the 2031 Notes and the related carrying value.
The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company estimates the fair value of its 2031 Notes based on quoted market prices of the instruments; because these markets are typically actively traded, the liabilities are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term variable debt, including any amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, approximate fair value, without being discounted as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
FX Forward Contracts are valued through an independent valuation source which uses an industry standard data provider, with resulting valuations periodically validated through third-party or counterparty quotes. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. See Note 5, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information.
The Deferred Compensation Plan utilizes a rabbi trust to hold assets intended to satisfy the Company’s corresponding future benefit obligations. The plan assets and corresponding obligations for Program B under the Deferred Compensation Plan are classified within Level 1.
- Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s risk management objective is to ensure that business exposures to risks are minimized using the most effective and efficient methods to eliminate, reduce, or transfer such exposures. Operating decisions consider these associated risks and, whenever possible, transactions are structured to avoid or mitigate these risks.
From time to time, the Company enters into FX Forward Contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. Certain of these FX Forward Contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). These changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings as a component of cost of sales, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. In addition, if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative change in the derivatives’ fair value is recorded as a component of other income (expense) – net in the period in which the transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring. No amounts were recorded related to forecasted transactions no longer being probable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Company had FX Forward Contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $68.6 million and $140.1 million in U.S. dollar equivalent as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The aggregate notional amount outstanding as of September 30, 2024 is scheduled to mature withinone year. The FX Forward Contracts are denominated in various foreign currencies. Net unrealized gains, net of income tax, recorded in AOCI were$0.8 million and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The net gains (losses) recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for FX Forward Contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are summarized as follows:

Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Long-lived assets, which are primarily made up of property, plant, and equipment and definite lived intangible assets, are subject to impairment testing whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determined there was no triggering event during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 with the exception of one asset group located in Europe. Based on the results of the recoverability test, it was determined that the undiscounted cash flows were in excess of the $55.6 million carrying value of the long-lived assets.
The Company performs its annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there might be an impairment of the asset. The Company will continue to monitor changes in circumstances and test more frequently if those changes indicate that assets might be impaired. The Company determined there was no triggering event during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

On March 25, 2019, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Loan Parties”) entered into a credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative and collateral agent, and certain financial institutions party thereto as lenders, providing for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $275.0 million. The borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of inventory, accounts receivable and certain fixed assets of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties’ obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are secured on a first-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by substantially all of the personal property and fee-owned real property of the Loan Parties. The liens securing the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are senior in priority to the second-priority liens securing the obligations under the 2031 Notes and the related guarantees. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility includes a $75.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, $10.0 million of which is available to the Company’s German subsidiary that is a borrower under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility (the “German Borrower”).
On June 17, 2021, the Company amended the ABL Credit Agreement to adjust certain negative covenants which reduced restrictions on the Company’s ability to expand its rental business. On May 19, 2022, the Company further amended the ABL Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date to May 19, 2027 (subject to a springing maturity date of December 30, 2025 if the 2026 Notes have not been repaid in full or refinanced prior to December 30, 2025), (ii) permit the inclusion, subject to certain limitations, of the crane rental assets of certain subsidiaries in the borrowing base used to calculate availability under the ABL Credit Agreement, (iii) permit separate financing of crane rental assets not included in the borrowing base and (iv) replace U.S. dollar London Inter-bank Offered Rate with interest rates based on the secured overnight financing rate plus a credit spread adjustment (“SOFR”).
On September 18, 2024, the Company further amended the ABL Credit Agreement to (i) increase the aggregate commitment by $50.0 million to a total aggregate commitment of up to $325.0 million, of which $100.0 million is available to the German Borrower, (ii) increase the swingline sublimit by $20.0 million to an aggregate $50.0 million, of which $20.0 million is available to the German Borrower, and (iii) extend the maturity date to September 18, 2029.
Borrowings under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate using either the Alternate Base Rate or Term Benchmark, Applicable Overnight Rate, Central Bank Rate ("CBR") or RFR rate (each as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) plus the applicable spread set forth below. The variable interest rate is based upon the average availability as of the most recent determination date as follows:
| Average quarterly availability | Alternative Base Rate spread | Term Benchmark, Applicable Overnight Rate, CBR and RFR spread | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category 1 | ≥ 66% of Aggregate Commitment | 0.25% | 1.25% |
| Category 2 | < 66% but ≥ 33% of Aggregate Commitment | 0.50% | 1.50% |
| Category 3 | < 33% of Aggregate Commitment | 0.75% | 1.75% |
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had borrowings on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility of$128.6 million and $60.0 million, respectively. During the period from September 18, 2024 to June 30, 2025, the spreads for
SOFR and prime rate borrowings are deemed to be in Category 2. As of September 30, 2024, there was excess availability of $193.0 million, which represents revolver borrowing capacity of $325.0 million less$128.6 million of borrowings outstanding and $3.4 million of U.S. letters of credit outstanding.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had other indebtedness outstanding of $43.9 million that had a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 5.2%. This debt includes balances on local credit lines, overdraft facilities, and other financing arrangements.
On September 19, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as trustee and notes collateral agent, pursuant to which the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes with an annual coupon rate of 9.250%. Interest on the 2031 Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 2031 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that is either a guarantor or a borrower under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility or that guarantees certain other debt of the Company or a guarantor. The 2031 Notes and the related guarantees are secured on a second-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by pledges of capital stock and other equity interests and other security interests in substantially all of the personal property and fee-owned real property of the Company and of the guarantors that secure obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of its outstanding 9.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2026.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $1.1 million non-cash charge in other income (expense) – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations associated with the Company’s refinancing of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2031 Notes. The charge is related to unamortized debt issuance costs on the prior $300.0 million senior secured second lien notes due April 1, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”).
Both the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the 2031 Notes include customary covenants which include, without limitation, restrictions on the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to incur, assume or guarantee additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of the Company’s capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens on certain assets to secure debt, consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted. Both the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the 2031 Notes also include customary events of default. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in the Company’s business or financial condition since December 31, 2021.
Additionally, the ABL Revolving Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants in its debt instruments, inclusive of the financial covenants pertaining to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the 2031 Notes. Based upon management’s current plans and outlook, the Company believes it will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent twelve months.
- Accounts Receivable Factoring
The Company has two non-U.S. accounts receivable financing programs withno maximum availability. Transactions under the non-U.S. programs were accounted for as sales in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” Under these financing programs, the Company has the ability to sell eligible receivables up to the maximum limit.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were $33.0 million and $120.7 million, respectively. For thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were $44.5 million and $127.1 million, respectively.
Financing charges incurred from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were immaterial.
- Income Taxes
The Company’s income before income taxes include income from both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The annual effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to results of foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates. In addition, tax expense is impacted by losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be realized.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of$0.3 million andzero, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.2 million and a benefit for income taxes of$1.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $3.2 million discrete tax benefit related to the resolution of a previously reserved foreign income tax matter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded discrete net tax benefits of $17.1 million, of which $13.9 million related to a release of a valuation allowance and $3.2 million related to the resolution of a previously reserved foreign income tax matter.
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $10.9 million and $9.1 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
- Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic and dilutednet income (loss) per common share:
| Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | 35,123,015 | 35,080,037 | 35,251,847 | 35,095,211 |
| Effect of dilutive securities - equity compensation awards | — | 707,667 | — | 741,461 |
| Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | 35,123,015 | 35,787,704 | 35,251,847 | 35,836,672 |
Equity compensation awards for which total employee proceeds from exercise exceed the average fair value of the same equity incentive instrument over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share during periods with net income, and accordingly, are excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Due to the net loss incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the assumed exercise of all equity instruments was anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in the net diluted income (loss) per share calculations for those periods. Anti-dilutive equity instruments of 427,025 and 435,025 common shares were excluded from the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three andnine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
No cash dividends were declared or paid during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
- Equity
Authorized capital consists of 75.0 million shares of $0.01 par value common stock and 3.5 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. None of the preferred shares have been issued.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has $29.3 million remaining under an authorization from the Board of Directors to purchase up to $35.0 million of the Company’s common stock at management’s discretion.

During thenine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased $5.7 million of common stock under this authorization.
The Company’s operations in Russia were substantially curtailed during the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company released $9.3 million of non-cash foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to other income (expense) – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

- Segments
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), for making decisions about the allocation of resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable operating segments.
The Company hasthree reportable segments: Americas, EURAF, and MEAP. The Company's operating segments were identified as its reportable segments.
The CODM evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net sales and operating income. Segment net sales are recognized in the geographic region where the product is sold. The Company does not include intercompany sales between segments for management reporting purposes. Operating income for each segment includes net sales to third parties, cost of sales directly attributable to the segment, and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. Manufacturing variances generated within each operating segment are maintained in each segment’s operating income. Operating income for each segment excludes other income and expense and certain expenses managed outside the operating segments. Costs excluded from segment operating income include various corporate expenses such as stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, nonrecurring charges and other separately managed general and administrative costs. The CODM does not evaluate performance of the reportable segments based on total assets.
The following table shows information by reportable segment for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

- Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business which have not been fully resolved. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain. When a loss related to a legal proceeding or claim is probable and reasonably estimable, the Company accrues its best estimate for the ultimate resolution of the matter.
As of September 30, 2024, various product-related lawsuits were pending. To the extent permitted under applicable law, all of these lawsuits are insured with self-insurance retention levels. The Company’s self-insurance retention levels vary by business and have fluctuated over the last 10 years. As of September 30, 2024, the largest self-insured retention level for new occurrences currently maintained by the Company is $3.0 million per occurrence and applies to product liability claims arising in North America.
As of September 30, 2024, current and long-term product liability reserves were $2.9 million and$6.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, current and long-term product liability reserves were $11.4 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Current product liability reserves are included within other liabilities and long-term product liability reserves are included within other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are not reduced for insurance recoveriesfor claims above the Company's self-insured retention level. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company hadzero and $3.9 million, respectively, of estimated insurance recoveries included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Reserves for product-related lawsuits were estimated using a combination of actual case reserves and actuarial methods. Based on the Company’s experience in defending product liability claims, management believes the reserves are adequate for estimated case resolutions on aggregate self-insured claims and insured claims. Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and solvency of insurance carriers.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had reserves of$46.6 million and$56.8 million, respectively, for warranty and other related claims included in product warranties and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these warranty and other related claims involve matters in dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration, or litigation. See Note 18, “Guarantees,” for further information.
It is reasonably possible that the estimates for warranty and other related claims, product liability, asbestos-related claims, and other various legal matters may change based upon new information that may arise or matters that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. Presently, there are no reliable methods to estimate the amount of any such potential changes. The ultimate resolution of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2017, the Company received an Information Request from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“U.S. EPA”) relating to the sales of cranes manufactured between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2017 and the Company’s related participation in the Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (the “TPEM” program). The TPEM program allowed equipment manufacturers to delay installing engines meeting Tier 4 final emission standards in their products, subject to certain percentage allowance restrictions. The Company has provided, and continues to provide, information to the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice (“U.S. DOJ”) on the approximately 1,420 engines included in the Company’s cranes relating to the TPEM program and other certification matters. The Company is engaged in confidential discussions with the U.S. EPA and U.S. DOJ with respect to these matters.
Based on management's current assessment of the facts underlying these matters, the Company recorded an additional charge of$2.6 million and $7.9 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The total recorded estimated liability in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $44.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and $36.1 million as of December 31, 2023. Other than the foregoing, the Company is unable to provide further meaningful quantification as to the final resolution of these matters. However, the Company calculated the statutory maximum penalties under the Clean Air Act to be approximately $174.0 million. The Company believes it has strong legal and factual defenses and will vigorously defend any allegations of noncompliance and the factors that could apply in the assessment of any civil penalty. Final resolution of these matters may have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
- Guarantees
The Company periodically enters into transactions with customers that provide for buyback commitments. The Company evaluates each agreement at inception to determine if the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise the buyback option. If it is determined that the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise that right, the revenue is deferred and the agreement is accounted for as a lease in accordance with ASC Topic 842 – “Leases” (“Topic 842”). If it is determined that the customer does not have a significant economic incentive to exercise that right, then revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer. The revenue deferred related to buyback obligations accounted for under Topic 842 included in other current and non-current liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $28.3 million and$32.2 million, respectively. The total amount of buyback commitments given by the Company and outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $38.9 million and $43.4 million, respectively. These amounts are not reduced for amounts the Company would recover from the repossession and subsequent resale of the cranes. The buyback commitments expire at various times through 2032. The Company also has various loss guarantees with maximum liabilities of $16.1 million and $13.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts are not reduced for amounts the Company would recover from the repossession and subsequent resale of the cranes securing the related guarantees.
In the normal course of business, the Company provides its customers a warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the Company. Such warranties generally provide that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 12 months to 60 months. In addition, the Company may incur other warranty related costs outside of its standard warranty period. Costs for other warranty-related work are recorded in the period a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Below is a table summarizing the warranty and other warranty related work for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
