BUCYRUS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of Bucyrus International, Inc. (the "Company"), the
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial results for the interim periods. Certain items are included in
these statements based on estimates for the entire year.
2. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from
these interim consolidated condensed financial statements. Therefore,
these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 30, 1998.
3. On August 21, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "AIP Agreement") with American Industrial Partners
Acquisition Company, LLC ("AIPAC"), which is wholly-owned by American
Industrial Partners Capital Fund II, L.P. ("AIP"), and Bucyrus
Acquisition Corp. ("BAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIPAC. On
August 26, 1997, pursuant to the AIP Agreement, BAC commenced an offer to
purchase for cash 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company at a price of $18.00 per share (the "AIP Tender Offer").
Consummation of the AIP Tender Offer occurred on September 24, 1997, and
BAC was merged with and into the Company on September 26, 1997 (the "AIP
Merger"). The Company was the surviving entity in the AIP Merger and is
currently wholly-owned by AIPAC. The purchase of all of the Company's
outstanding shares of common stock by AIPAC resulted in a change in
control of voting interest.
The consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 and for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were prepared
under a basis of accounting that reflects the fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related expenses and all debt
incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC. The
Predecessor consolidated condensed financial statements for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 were prepared using the Company's previous basis of
accounting which was based on the principles of fresh start reporting
adopted in 1994 upon emergence from bankruptcy. Accordingly, the
consolidated condensed financial statements for periods subsequent to the
date of the consummation of the AIP Tender Offer are not comparable to
the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Predecessor.
On August 26, 1997, the Company consummated the acquisition (the "Marion
Acquisition") of certain assets and liabilities of The Marion Power
Shovel Company, a subsidiary of Global Industrial Technologies, Inc.
("Global"), and of certain subsidiaries and divisions of Global that
represented Global's surface mining equipment business in Australia,
Canada and South Africa (collectively referred to herein as "Marion").
The acquisition of Marion by the Company was accounted for as a purchase
and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the
Company were recorded at their estimated fair values.
4. Inventories consist of the following:
March 31, December 31,
1998 1997
(Dollars in Thousands)
Raw materials and parts $ 16,172 $ 14,896
Costs relating to
uncompleted contracts 5,668 4,861
Customers' advances offset
against costs incurred on
uncompleted contracts (3,416) (2,976)
Work in process 22,789 21,238
Finished products (primarily
replacement parts) 71,467 76,996
________ ________
$112,680 $115,015
In connection with the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC, inventories
were adjusted to estimated fair value. This adjustment was charged to
cost of products sold as the inventory was sold. At December 31, 1997,
the remaining estimated fair value adjustment included in inventory was
$6,925,000, all of which was charged to cost of products sold during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.
5. On March 17, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock
split which increased the number of authorized shares of common stock of
the Company to 1,600,000 shares. Simultaneous with this authorization,
AIPAC cancelled 9.976% of its interest in its 1,000 shares of common
stock of the Company and received 1,430,300 shares for its remaining
interest (the "Stock Split"). Also on this date, certain members of
management of the Company purchased 7,800 shares of common stock of the
Company which increased the number of issued and outstanding common
shares to 1,438,100. In addition, on March 17, 1998, the Company's Board
of Directors adopted the Bucyrus International, Inc. 1998 Management
Stock Option Plan which authorizes the granting of stock options to key
employees for up to a total of 150,400 shares of common stock of the
Company. As of March 31, 1998, 113,850 of these stock options have been
granted at an exercise price of $100 per share which is the estimated
fair market value at the date of grant.
6. Basic net earnings per share of common stock were computed by dividing
net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share of common stock
were calculated after giving effect to dilutive securities. The
following is a reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of
the basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share of common stock
calculations:
Quarters Ended March 31,
1998 1997
(Predecessor)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except
Per Share Amounts)
Basic
Net earnings (loss) $ (9,069) $ 915
Weighted average shares outstanding 1,431,600 10,242,352
Net earnings (loss) per share $ (6.33) $ .09
Diluted
Net earnings (loss) $ (9,069) $ 915
Weighted average shares
outstanding - basic 1,431,600 10,242,352
Effect of dilutive securities -
stock options, stock appreciation
rights and restricted stock - 40,372
Weighted average shares
outstanding - diluted 1,431,600 10,282,724
Net earnings (loss) per share $ (6.33) $ .09
7. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
No. 130"), which requires companies to report all changes in equity
during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and
distributions to owners. The Company has chosen to disclose
comprehensive income, which encompasses net earnings (loss) and foreign
currency translation adjustments, in a separate Consolidated Condensed
Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Prior periods have been
restated to conform to the SFAS No. 130 requirements.
8. The Company's payment obligations under its 9-3/4% Senior Notes due 2007
(the "Senior Notes") are guaranteed by certain of the Company's wholly-
owned subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"). Such guarantees are
full, unconditional and joint and several. Separate financial statements
of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because the Company's
management has determined that they would not be material to investors.
The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on an
unconsolidated basis, statement of operations, balance sheet and
statement of cash flow information for the Company (the "Parent
Company"), for the Guarantor Subsidiaries and for the Company's non-
guarantor subsidiaries (the "Other Subsidiaries"). The supplemental
financial information reflects the investments of the Company in the
Guarantor and Other Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.
Parent Company amounts for net earnings (loss) and common shareholders'
investment differ from consolidated amounts as intercompany profit in
subsidiary inventory has not been eliminated in the Parent Company
statement but has been eliminated in the Consolidated Totals.

BUCYRUS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following information is provided to assist in the understanding of
the Company's operations for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.
This Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended. Discussions containing such forward-
looking statements may be found in this section, as well as elsewhere within
this Report. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the
intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, primarily with respect
to the future operating performance of the Company or related industry
developments. When used in this Report, terms such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "indicate," "may be," "objective," "plan,"
"predict," and "will be" are intended to identify such statements. Readers
are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual
results may differ from those described in the forward-looking statements as a
result of various factors, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. Forward-looking statements are based upon management's expectations
at the time they are made. Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it
can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
such expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are disclosed in this Report. All
subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the
Company or persons acting on behalf of the Company are expressly qualified in
their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.
In connection with the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC and the Marion
Acquisition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies have been
adjusted to their estimated fair values. Also, upon emergence from bankruptcy
in 1994, total assets were recorded at their assumed reorganization value,
with the reorganization value allocated to identifiable tangible and
intangible assets on the basis of their estimated fair value, and liabilities
were adjusted to the present values of amounts to be paid where appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements include the related amortization charges
associated with the fair value adjustments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Working capital and current ratio are two financial measurements which
provide an indication of the Company's ability to meet its short-term
obligations. These measurements at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 were
as follows:
March 31, December 31,
1998 1997
(Dollars in Thousands)
Working capital $135,809 $120,883
Current ratio 3.5 to 1 2.9 to 1
The increase in the current ratio was primarily due to the payment of
interest on the Senior Notes which was financed through long-term debt
borrowings and other reductions in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Equipment Assurance Limited has pledged $1,056,000 of its cash to secure
its reimbursement obligations for outstanding letters of credit at March 31,
1998. This collateral amount is classified as Restricted Funds on Deposit in
the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
The Company is presenting below a calculation of earnings (loss) before
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock
compensation, (gain) loss on sale of fixed assets and inventory fair value
adjustment charged to cost of products sold ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Since cash
flow from operations is very important to the Company's future, the Adjusted
EBITDA calculation provides a summary review of cash flow performance. In
addition, the Company is required to maintain certain minimum Adjusted EBITDA
levels under the Revolving Credit Facility (see below). The Adjusted EBITDA
calculation is not an alternative to operating income under generally accepted
accounting principles as an indicator of operating performance or to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity. The following table reconciles Earnings
(Loss) Before Income Taxes to Adjusted EBITDA:
Quarter Ended March 31,
1998 1997
(Predecessor)
(Dollars in Thousands)
Earnings (loss) before income taxes $ (9,288) $ 1,578
Non-cash expenses:
Depreciation 2,500 1,087
Amortization 1,315 267
Non-cash stock compensation - 210
(Gain) loss on sale of fixed assets (23) (5)
Inventory fair value adjustment
charged to cost of products sold 6,925 -
Interest expense 4,469 1,914
________ ________
Adjusted EBITDA $ 5,898 $ 5,051
The Company entered into a three-year credit agreement with Bank One,
Wisconsin on September 24, 1997 which provides the Company with a $75,000,000
senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility")
with a $25,000,000 sublimit for standby letters of credit. Borrowings under
the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates and are subject
to a borrowing base formula based on receivables, inventory and machinery and
equipment. Direct borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31,
1998 were $44,500,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 8.6%. The
issuance of standby letters of credit reduces the amount available for direct
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 1998, there were
$4,023,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of
the assets of the Company, other than real property and 35% of the stock of
its foreign subsidiaries, and is guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries who
have also pledged substantially all of their assets as security. The amount
available for direct borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at March
31, 1998 was $26,477,000.
The Company has outstanding $150,000,000 of its Senior Notes which were
issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 24, 1997 among the
Company, the Guarantors, and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Trustee (the
"Senior Notes Indenture"). Interest thereon is payable each March 15 and
September 15.
The Company believes that current levels of cash and liquidity, together
with funds generated by operations and funds available from the Revolving
Credit Facility, will be sufficient to permit the Company to satisfy its debt
service requirements and fund operating activities for the foreseeable future.
The Company is subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties that are beyond its control. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the Company's financial resources will be sufficient for the
Company to satisfy its debt service obligations and fund operating activities
under all circumstances.
Capital Resources
At March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $4,696,000 of open
capital appropriations. Of this amount, approximately $1,952,000 relates to
the installation of Marion equipment being transferred to the Company's South
Milwaukee, Wisconsin manufacturing facility and to Boonville Mining Services,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company located in Boonville, Indiana.
In 1996, a machine shop modernization program began at the Company's South
Milwaukee, Wisconsin manufacturing facility that involves a $20,000,000
investment in the latest technology in the machine tool industry. The program
is aimed at reduced lead times, quicker turnaround, reduced in-process
inventory and overall cost reduction. The Company has spent approximately
$5,700,000 to date on this program with the remaining amount to be spent in
the next several years.
Capitalization
The long-term debt to equity ratio at March 31, 1998 and December 31,
1997 was 1.6 to 1 and 1.3 to 1, respectively. The long-term debt to total
capitalization ratio at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was .6 to 1.
Total capitalization is defined as total common shareholders' investment plus
long-term debt plus current maturities of long-term debt and short-term
obligations.
Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales for the first quarter of 1998 were $73,700,000 compared with
$59,886,000 for the first quarter of 1997. Sales of repair parts and services
were $51,415,000, which is an increase of $14,023,000 or 37.5% from
$37,392,000 for the first quarter of 1997. The increase in repair parts and
service sales was primarily due to the acquisition of Marion. Machine sales
were $22,285,000, which is a decrease of .9% from the first quarter of 1997.
Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold for the first quarter of 1998 was $66,581,000 or
90.3% of net sales compared with $48,005,000 or 80.2% of net sales for the
first quarter of 1997. Included in cost of products sold for 1998 were
charges of $6,925,000 as a result of fair value adjustments to inventory being
charged to cost of products sold as the inventory was sold. The fair value
adjustment was made as a result of the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC.
Excluding the effects of the inventory fair value adjustment, cost of products
sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.9%. Also included in cost of
products sold for 1998 was $1,022,000 of additional depreciation expense as a
result of the fair value adjustment to plant and equipment in connection with
the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC.
Product Development, Selling, Administrative and Miscellaneous Expenses
Product development, selling, administrative and miscellaneous expenses
for the first quarter of 1998 were $12,173,000 or 16.5% of net sales compared
with $8,653,000 or 14.4% of net sales for the first quarter of 1997. The
dollar increase for the first quarter of 1998 was primarily due to increased
expenses to support the Marion business acquired, and increased non-cash
amortizations of goodwill, intangible assets and financing fees that were
recorded in connection with the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the first quarter of 1998 was $4,469,000 compared
with $1,914,000 for the first quarter of 1997. Included in interest expense
for 1998 was $3,616,000 related to the Senior Notes.
Income Taxes (Benefit)
Income tax expense (benefit) consists primarily of foreign taxes at
applicable statutory rates, and is net of a $658,000 benefit related to the
foreign fair value adjustment to inventory charged to cost of products sold in
the first quarter of 1998. For United States tax purposes, there were losses
for which no income tax benefit was recorded.
Net Earnings (Loss)
Net loss for the first quarter of 1998 was $9,069,000 compared with net
earnings of $915,000 for the first quarter of 1997. Net loss for the first
quarter of 1998 includes $6,267,000 (net of tax) of the inventory fair value
adjustment which was charged to cost of products sold. Non-cash depreciation
and amortization charges included in the net loss for the first quarter of
1998 and 1997 were $3,815,000 and $1,354,000, respectively.
Backlog and New Orders
The Company's consolidated backlog at March 31, 1998 was $207,537,000
compared with $216,021,000 at December 31, 1997 and $160,155,000 at March 31,
1997. Machine backlog at March 31, 1998 was $83,892,000, which is a decrease
of 13.7% from December 31, 1997 and an increase of 86.7% from March 31, 1997.
The decrease in machine backlog from December 31, 1997 was in both electric
mining shovel and blast hole drill volume. During the second quarter of 1997,
the Company executed a contract with an Australian mining company for the sale
of a Model 2570WS dragline which is scheduled for completion by December 31,
1999. Included in backlog at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was
$50,096,000 and $51,644,000, respectively, related to this machine. Repair
parts and service backlog at March 31, 1998 was $123,645,000, which is an
increase of 4.0% from December 31, 1997 and an increase of 7.3% from March 31,
1997.
New orders for the first quarter of 1998 were $65,216,000, which is an
increase of 6.4% from the first quarter of 1997. New machine orders were
$9,022,000, which is a decrease of 51.0% from the first quarter of 1997. As a
result of a decline in copper and coal prices in 1997 from historically high
levels, the demand for machines from these market segments has been low. New
repair parts and service orders for the first quarter of 1998 were
$56,194,000, which is an increase of 30.9% from the first quarter of 1997.
The increase in new orders was primarily due to the acquisition of Marion.
Year 2000 Issues
The Company is in the process of implementing a plan to improve its
existing computer system. While the primary purpose of the change is to
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Company's system, year 2000
issues are also being addressed at this time. Implementation of the plan is
expected to be completed by the first quarter of 1999, primarily through the
redeployment of internal Company personnel. The estimated incremental cost of
this project is $2,600,000.
Translation of Brazil Financial Statements
The Company has operations in Brazil, whose economy has been considered
highly inflationary by management through December 31, 1997 for purposes of
translating Brazilian financial statements from Brazilian Reals into U.S.
dollars. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company no longer believes that
Brazil's economy is highly inflationary. The effect of this change on the
consolidated financial statements was not material.
Marion Acquisition
As planned, the Company closed down the operations in Marion, Ohio at
year-end of 1997. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company moved certain
equipment to its South Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Boonville, Indiana locations,
sold the remaining Marion, Ohio equipment for approximately $4,000,000 and has
transitioned the manufacturing, engineering, selling and administrative
functions to South Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
On March 17, 1998, the Company sold 7,800 shares of common stock to
eight members of management of the Company at a price of $100 per
share. Exemption from registration of the shares sold under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") is claimed under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act because the offer and sale thereof

members of management of the Company, without any advertising or
other selling efforts commonly associated with a "public offering".
