Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Astec Industries, Inc. on March 3, 2020 regarding its results of operations and financial condition for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On March 3, 2020, Astec Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) furnished a current report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) that included a press release regarding its financial results and financial condition for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. In the Original Form 8-K, the previously announced potential sale of the Company’s GEFCO, Inc. (“GEFCO”) subsidiary resulted in GEFCO’s net assets being accounted for as “assets held for sale” and its net assets were reduced to their estimated fair value based upon early indications of interest from potential purchasers. Currently, the sale of the GEFCO business under the terms and timing contained in the early indications of interest is unlikely. As a result, the value of the GEFCO’s assets is now accounted for as “assets held and used.” The Company’s current plan is to exit the GEFCO oil and gas business and continue to operate and pursue an exit strategy for the GEFCO water and geothermal well business. The related oil and gas inventories on hand at December 31, 2019 have been reduced to their net realizable value considering the Company’s planned exit. Accordingly, the Company issued an updated press release setting fourth its updated and revised results of operations and financial condition for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Updated Press Release”). A copy of the Updated Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On March 4, 2020 the Company held a live audio webcast to discuss its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. In connection with the webcast, the Company furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a slide presentation which was attached as exhibits to the Original Form 8-K. An updated slide presentation is attached to this Report on Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference to this Item 7.01.
