Astec Industries, Inc. | 01 Letter to Shareholders 2013 marked the fifth year of an extended recession in the United States. In spite of the loss in 2013 of revenue contributions from the sale of product lines (American Augers, Inc., Trencor and Astec Underground, Inc. trenchers) late in 2012, we were able to maintain our revenues and grow earnings during 2013. Earnings from our continuing operations grew from $34,210,000 to $39,214,000. We entered the year with a strong balance sheet and looked for acquisitions, but were unable to conclude any during 2013. Our Board of Directors decided to institute a quarterly $0.10 per share dividend which began at the end of the first quarter of 2013. During the year, domestic sales grew from $572,522,000 to $599,054,000, and international sales decreased from $363,751,000 to $333,944,000. Inter national sales’ percentage of total sales dropped from 38.9% to 35.8% during the year. We saw practically no growth in infrastructure spending in the United States, and the uncertainty of future spending made contractors reluctant to invest in new equipment. To overcome this, we increased our presence internationally by strategically expanding into new markets. We also developed new products to sell to the infrastructure, energy, and mining industries. While we are not losing focus on infrastructure equipment, we are trying to become less dependent on highway spending as the Government’s ability to fund infrastructure continues to be uncertain. On the positive side, we are seeing a number of states increase their gas taxes and fund- ing with less dependence on the Federal Highway Trust Fund. Benjamin G. Brock J. Don Brock We strive to deliver continuous increases in shareholder value through stable long-term growth in earnings per share. To that end, we plan to expand and enhance the scope and profit- ability of our core business through internal growth and strategic acquisitions. 02 | Astec Industries, Inc. In the meantime, we are developing and improving our equipment for the energy and mining business. We have successfully sold a number of our 500K oil and gas drilling rigs, pump trailers, hot water heaters for fracking, and thermal oil heaters for natural gas pro- cessing. On the renewable side of the energy business, we have completed installation of the first line of a large wood pellet plant for FRAM Renewable Fuels in Hazlehurst, Georgia. The plant was started at the end of the year and the customer has given us the order for two additional lines to go with the plant. We are optimistic we will sell additional pellet plants in 2014, based on the performance of this new facility. In the mining segment, we are constructing a manu- facturing facility to fabricate crushing and screening equipment in Brazil. This plant should be operational during the second half of 2014. We are also developing the T-Series cone crushers at Telsmith, Inc. The large 900 horsepower unit is finished and is being proto- typed at this time. We see growth in track mounted crushers and screens, both in units we sell through our Aggregate and Mining Group and unit machines we sell to other OEM’s to mount on their track chassis. These highly mobile units are changing the landscape of crushing equipment in the United States as well as other countries around the world. To our surprise, these units are also being used in many mining appli- cations, particularly for opening new sites and for maintaining leases on existing sites. Through our R&D efforts in the asphalt side of the business, we have developed equipment that will allow our customers to produce up to 70% recycled material through our existing Double Barrel facilities. We have also developed a new 100% recycle plant. Carlson Paving Products, Inc. has successfully designed and marketed a line of commercial pavers and is grow- ing that business. Roadtec, Inc. is expanding in the European market with its product lines, and we con- tinue to introduce new products from our domestic companies into the Australian market. Astec Australia sold its first major crushing plant during 2013 into the mining market there. We are investing in our international sales effort in all of our companies. We also remain diligent with our focus groups, lean manufacturing, and safety initiatives. Per our previously announced succession plan, I stepped down as CEO of the Company effective January 1, 2014. I remain with the Company as Chairman of the Board. In my new role, I will mentor our new CEO and COO while continuing to be active in our R&D and sales efforts. Our new President and CEO is Benjamin G. Brock (Ben), who has been with the Company for over 20 years, most recently as President of the Astec, Inc. operation and as Group President of the Asphalt Group. Also changing roles as a result of our succession planning is W. Norman Smith (Norm). Norm stepped down as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Norm is now Vice Chairman of the Board. In his new role, he will remain Group President of Mobile Asphalt Paving and continue to be active in sales. Our new Executive Vice President and COO is Richard J. Dorris (Rick) who has been in the asphalt equipment industry for over 30 years, and previously served as President of Heatec, Inc. and Group President of the Energy Group. With the succession of these two men, along with retirements in other areas, we now have five recently appointed presidents effective January 1, 2014. We are extremely pleased that all of the new subsidiary pres- idents, as well as our new CEO and COO, have come from within the Company. Over the last forty years, it has been my desire to not only grow the Company, but to also grow the management team. It is extremely rewarding to see us have succession plans in place where we can promote from within our existing orga- nization. This group of individuals will continue to maintain our core values and focus on the growth of our companies through innovative and new product development, coupled with industry leading customer service. We believe that our new executive manage- ment team is well-seasoned and prepared to take the Company to the next level. The skills that Norm and Astec Industries, Inc. | 03 I applied over the last 41 years in building a company from zero to nearly $1 billion in volume are not neces- sarily the skills needed in the future. We look forward to these enthusiastic individuals taking our Company to the next level and we will support their every effort. Regarding the topic of support, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our Shareholders for the support over the twenty-seven years that our Company has been public. I will continue to be an active part of our Board of Directors while also being helpful in the engineering, innovation, and sales side of the business. Sincerely, J. Don Brock Chairman of the Board Astec Industries, Inc. Our goal is to grow the Company strategically through existing divisions along with acquisitions in the industries that we currently serve—infrastructure, energy, and mining. We remain vigilant in our efforts to create new products to fill customer needs and help them to be successful in what they do. Fellow Shareholders It is an honor to be writing you this letter as the new President and CEO of our Company. Astec Industries, Inc. (Astec) has been blessed for the past 40 years to have had a single President and CEO, Dr. J. Don Brock, who is also the Founder and Chairman of the Board. Astec has also been blessed to have successfully grown to nearly $1 billion in annual revenues under his guidance. And while I am also blessed to have the ultimate good fortune of calling that same person my father, I am also thankful for our strong group of outside directors that executed an extensive succession planning process over the last several years. Astec is fortunate to have a strong board of directors, a strong management team, and strong associates throughout the 17 diversified divisions that make up our Company. So, where do we go from here? Our goal is to grow the Company strategically through existing divisions (mar- ket share gains and new product development) along with acquisitions in the industries that we currently serve—infrastructure, energy, and mining. of North America. We will work on this in all of our groups to meet our goal of a 50% domestic, 50% inter- national revenue split within 3–5 years. In addition, we remain vigilant in our efforts to create new products to fill customer needs and help them to be successful in what they do. As an example, we will be displaying 41 new products at the Con Expo show in March this year. We did not complete any acquisitions in 2013. We will work to do so in 2014. Acquisitions are not ego-driven, so we will acquire only if there is a strategic fit with our business and cultural fit with our core values. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and thank you for your support as we move ahead to grow our Company. Astec’s best is yet to come! Sincerely, Our companies are well positioned in the North American market, yet several still have opportunities to grow. We also have opportunities across the board to grow outside Ben Brock President and Chief Executive Officer Astec Industries, Inc. 04 | Astec Industries, Inc. 1000000 800000 600000 400000 200000 10 0 8 6 4 2 0 Net Sales (in thousands) $891,328 $817,801 $737,084 $698,056 $908,641 $936,273 $932,998 $663,735 $583,812 $480,797 $1,000,000 800,000 600,000 400,000 200,000 0 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Operating Profit (in %) 9.54% 8.91% 8.37% 7.81% 4.78% 4.39% 6.86% 6.43% 6.00% 5.46% 10.00% 8.00 6.00 4.00 2.00 0 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Astec Industries, Inc. | 05 Investing in New Products, Technologies and Markets Astec Industries and its family of companies have the most creative and innovative engineering groups in the industry. Through the efforts and ingenuity of these talented individuals, we are able to continually invest in improvements to current products and in developing new products to meet the needs of customers or address changes in the market. Astec Industries also actively seeks to find new opportunities where our equipment and expertise could be applied in new and innovative ways to other industries.

Four cutting speeds and right-hand flush cut allow you to use the SX-8e/ex for a range of projects including stabilizing, pulverizing, or cold recycling. Astec Wood Pelletizing Plant Astec’s ground-breaking, state-of-the-art wood pellet plant features a number of industry-firsts and is poised to change the wood pellet production industry. The modular design with replicated parallel lines results in there being very few points in the process where any equipment failure can shut the entire plant down. In most other plants, a dryer outage would mean a total plant shutdown. In a 60 TPH Astec plant, a dryer outage means the plant continues to operate at 40 TPH. In fact, there are very few reasons why the plant would ever be completely shut down. Even major maintenance cycles may be performed line-by-line while the plant continues to operate on the other lines. Redundant design reduces down time. Breaker Technology Mine Runner Breaker Technology’s Mine Runner is a modern day solution for a future focused mining operation aimed at safety, lower emissions, and increased productivity. Not to be confused with a customized road vehicle or generic people carrier, the Mine Runner has Hydraulic Wheel Drive (HWD) motors, providing greater power, and extended maintenance and duty cycles. With HWD for power and braking, there are no brakes to wear and fail, increasing passenger safety. Designed with one of the cleanest engine configurations, Tier 4 Interim, the mine runner meets and exceeds air quality standards. 06 | Astec Industries, Inc. 08 04 15 12 05 02 10 14 06 14 08 01 02 09 11 13 07 03 16 01 | Telsmith, Inc. 02 | Breaker Technology 03 | Osborn Engineered Products SA (PTY) LTD 04 | Kolberg-Pioneer, Inc. 05 | Johnson Crushers International, Inc. 06 | Astec Mobile Screens, Inc. 07 | Astec do Brasil Fabricação de Equipamentos Ltda. 08 | Astec, Inc.—Dillman Equipment Chattanooga, Prairie du Chien 09 | Heatec, Inc. 10 | CEI Enterprises, Inc. | Roadtec, Inc. 11 12 | Carlson Paving Products, Inc. 13 | Astec Mobile Machinery GmbH 14 | GEFCO, Inc.—Loudon, Enid 15 | Peterson Pacific Corp. 16 | Astec Australia PTY LTD GEFCO 500K Drilling Rig The GEFCO 500K is the most advanced and easy-to-operate rig in the world.

The business units in the Asphalt Group design, manufacture and market a complete line of asphalt plants and related components, heating and heat transfer processing equipment and storage tanks for the asphalt paving and other unrelated industries including energy production, concrete mixing plants and wood pellet processing equipment. The business units in the Aggregate and Mining Group design, manufacture and market equipment for the aggregate, metallic mining and recycling industries. The business units in the Mobile Asphalt Paving Group design, manufacture and market asphalt pavers, material transfer vehicles, milling machines, stabilizers and screeds. The business units in the Underground Group design, manufacture and market portable drilling rigs and related equipment for the water well, environmental, groundwater monitoring, construction, geothermal, mining and shallow oil and gas exploration and production industries. The Company also has one other category that contains the business units that do not meet the requirements for separate disclosure as an operating segment. The business units in the Other category include Peterson Pacific Corp. (“Peterson”), Astec Australia Pty Ltd (“Astec Australia”), Astec Insurance Company (“Astec Insurance” or “the captive”) and Astec Industries, Inc., the parent company. Peterson designs, manufactures and markets whole-tree pulpwood chippers, horizontal grinders and blower trucks. Astec Australia markets and installs equipment, services and provides parts for many of the products produced by the Company’s manufacturing companies. Astec Insurance is a captive insurance company. The Company’s financial performance is affected by a number of factors, including the cyclical nature and varying conditions of the markets it serves. Demand in these markets fluctuates in response to overall economic conditions and is particularly sensitive to the amount of public sector spending on infrastructure development, privately funded infrastructure development, changes in the price of crude oil, which affects the cost of fuel and liquid asphalt, and changes in the price of steel. The Company believes that federal highway funding influences the purchasing decisions of the Company’s customers, who are typically more comfortable making capital equipment purchases with such legislation in place. Federal funding provides for approximately 25% of all highway, street, roadway and parking construction in the United States. The U.S. Congress funded federal transportation expenditures for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 at the 2010 level of $41.1 billion, and it approved short-term funding of federal transportation expenditures for the six-month period ending on March 31, 2012 at the same levels. In July 2012, President Obama signed into law the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act” (“Map-21”), which authorizes $105 billion of federal spending on highway and public transportation programs through fiscal year 2014. Map-21 was the first long-term highway legislation enacted since 2005 and continued federal highway and transit funding at 2012 levels with modest increases for inflation. Although Map-21 helped stabilize the federal highway program in the near term, the Company believes a longer multi-year highway 44 I Astec Industries, Inc. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) program would have the greatest positive impact on the road construction industry and allow its customers to plan and execute longer-term projects. The level of future federal highway construction is uncertain and any future funding may be at lower levels than in the past. Several other countries have implemented infrastructure spending programs to stimulate their economies. The Company believes these spending programs have had a positive impact on its financial performance; however, the magnitude of that impact cannot be determined. The public sector spending described above is needed to fund road, bridge and mass transit improvements. The Company believes that increased funding is unquestionably needed to restore the nation’s highways to a quality level required for safety, fuel efficiency and mitigation of congestion. In the Company’s opinion, amounts needed for such improvements are significantly greater than amounts approved to date, and funding mechanisms such as the federal usage fee per gallon of gasoline, which has not been increased in 20 years, would likely need to be increased along with other measures to generate the funds needed. In addition to public sector funding, the economies in the markets the Company serves, the price of oil and its impact on customers’ purchasing decisions and the price of steel may each affect the Company’s financial performance. Economic downturns generally result in decreased purchasing by the Company’s customers, which, in turn, causes reductions in sales and increased pricing pressure on the Company’s products. Rising interest rates also typically negatively impact customers’ attitudes toward purchasing equipment. The Federal Reserve has maintained historically low interest rates in response to the economic downturn which began in 2009; however, interest rates may increase in 2014. Significant portions of the Company’s revenues relate to the sale of equipment involved in the production, handling, recycling or installation of asphalt mix. Liquid asphalt is a by-product of oil production. An increase in the price of oil increases the cost of asphalt, which is likely to decrease demand for asphalt and therefore decrease demand for certain Company products. While increasing oil prices may have a negative financial impact on many of the Company’s customers, the Company’s equipment can use a significant amount of recycled asphalt pavement, thereby mitigating the effect of increased oil prices on the final cost of asphalt for the customer. The Company continues to develop products and initiatives to reduce the amount of oil and related products required to produce asphalt mix. Oil price volatility makes it difficult to predict the costs of oil-based products used in road construction such as liquid asphalt and gasoline. The Company’s customers appear to be adapting their prices in response to the fluctuating oil prices, and the fluctuations did not appear to significantly impair equipment purchases in 2013. The Company expects oil prices to continue to fluctuate in 2014. Minor fluctuations in oil prices should not have a significant impact on customers’ buying decisions. However, political uncertainty in oil producing countries, interruptions in oil production due to disasters, whether natural or man-made, or other economic factors could significantly impact oil prices which could negatively impact demand for the Company’s products. Contrary to the negative impact of higher oil prices on many of the Company’s products as discussed above, sales of several of the Company’s products, including products manufactured by the Underground Group, which are used to drill for oil and natural gas, would benefit from higher oil and natural gas prices, to the extent that such higher prices lead to further development of oil and natural gas production. The Company believes further development of domestic oil and natural gas production capabilities is needed and would positively impact the domestic economy and the Company’s business. Steel is a major component in the Company’s equipment. Moderate steel price increases occurred during the fourth quarter of 2013. Steel prices have stabilized in the first quarter of 2014 with moderate demand and relatively short mill lead times for most products. The Company expects steel prices to remain near current levels in the short term unless there is significant demand increases due to growth in the broader economy. It is uncertain, however, if these trends will continue throughout the remainder of 2014. The Company continues to utilize forward-looking contracts coupled with advanced steel purchases to minimize the impact of increased steel prices. The Company will continue to review the trends in steel prices in future months and establish future contract pricing accordingly. In addition to the factors stated above, many of the Company’s markets are highly competitive, and its products compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and dealers that produce and sell similar products. During 2011 and a portion of 2012, a weak dollar, combined with improving economic conditions in certain foreign economies, had a positive impact on the Company’s international sales. In 2013, the dollar Astec Industries, Inc. I 45 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) strengthened against many foreign currencies which had a negative effect on pricing in certain foreign markets the Company serves. The Company expects the dollar to remain strong in the near-term relative to most foreign currencies. Increasing domestic interest rates or weakening economic conditions abroad could cause the dollar to continue to strengthen, which could negatively impact the Company’s international sales. In the United States and internationally, the Company’s equipment is marketed directly to customers as well as through dealers. During 2013, approximately 75% to 80% of equipment sold by the Company was sold directly to the end user. The Company expects this ratio to remain relatively consistent through 2014. The Company is operated on a decentralized basis with a complete management team for each operating subsidiary. Finance, insurance, legal, shareholder relations, corporate accounting and other corporate matters are primarily handled at the corporate level (i.e., Astec Industries, Inc., the parent company). The engineering, design, sales, manufacturing and basic accounting functions are all handled at each individual subsidiary. Standard accounting procedures are prescribed and followed in all reporting. The non-union employees of each subsidiary have the opportunity to earn profit-sharing incentives in the aggregate of up to 10% of each subsidiary’s after-tax profit if such subsidiary meets established goals. These goals are based on the subsidiary’s return on capital employed, cash flow on capital employed and safety. The profit-sharing incentives for subsidiary presidents and corporate officers are normally paid from a separate formula-driven pool based on the same key performance indicators used in the employee incentive plan. Explanatory Note The Company has restated its previously filed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and its consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 to correct immaterial accounting errors related to the elimination of intercompany profits on interdivisional sales within the Company’s Asphalt Group. Management discovered the error during its routine month-end review of its September 2013 internal financial statements while investigating an unexpected variance at one of its subsidiaries. The errors caused the financial results and inventory levels previously reported for 2009 through 2012 to be understated by an immaterial amount each period. Although the impact of the errors was immaterial in each period, the cumulative impact of the correcting the errors, when aggregated together, would have been material to the Company’s consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013. A description of the error follows. As part of the process to consolidate each of the Company’s subsidiaries’ financial statements each month, intercompany and interdivisional sales and cost of sales recorded on the Company’s subsidiaries’ books must be eliminated. Additionally, inventory levels must be decreased and margins deferred for the portion of these products that have not yet been sold to non-affiliated customers. Beginning in 2009, sales and cost of sales on interdivisional transactions between the two divisions of the Company’s subsidiary, Astec, Inc., were properly eliminated at the time of the interdivision sales; however, the related margins were not subsequently recognized when the products were eventually sold to non-affiliated customers. This resulted in an understatement of margins, related income taxes and inventory levels as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each period. For further details on the nature of the corrections and the related impact on the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements, see Note 2, “Restatement of Previously issued Financial States” included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. 46 I Astec Industries, Inc. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Results of Operations: 2013 vs. 2012 Net Sales Net sales decreased $3,275,000 or 0.3%, from $936,273,000 in 2012 to $932,998,000 in 2013. Sales are generated primarily from new equipment purchases made by customers for use in construction for privately funded infrastructure and public sector spending on infrastructure as well as equipment for the aggregate, mining, quarrying and recycle markets and the oil and gas and geothermal industries. Domestic sales for 2013 were $599,054,000 or 64.2% of consolidated net sales compared to $572,522,000 or 61.1% of consolidated net sales for 2012, an increase of $26,532,000 or 4.6%. The overall increase in domestic sales for 2013 compared to 2012 reflects the strengthening economic conditions for the Company’s products in the domestic market. International sales for 2013 were $333,944,000 or 35.8% of consolidated net sales compared to $363,751,000 or 38.9% of consolidated net sales for 2012, a decrease of $29,807,000 or 8.2%. International sales decreased due to the economic uncertainties in several countries in which the Company markets its products as well as a strengthening U.S. dollar against many foreign currencies. The Company continues its efforts to grow its international business by increasing its presence in the markets it serves. Parts sales as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 20 basis points to 26.5% in 2013 from 26.3% in 2012. In dollars, parts sales increased 0.4% to $246,905,000 in 2013 from $245,851,000 in 2012. Gross Profit Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales remained constant at 22.2% in 2013 and 2012. Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2013 were $133,337,000 or 14.3% of net sales, compared to $136,323,000 or 14.6% of net sales for 2012, a decrease of $2,986,000 or 2.2%. In 2013, the Company recorded $799,000 of expense related to the 2014 ConExpo Show compared to $143,000 in 2012. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense from prior year was primarily due to a decrease in legal and professional expenses of $1,525,000. Research and Development Research and development expenses decreased $2,419,000 or 11.8% to $18,101,000 in 2013 from $20,520,000 in 2012. During 2013 and 2012, the Company invested heavily in research and development across all segments for numerous new equipment offerings which will be showcased at the 2014 ConExpo Show. Interest Expense Interest expense in 2013 increased $84,000, or 24.8%, to $423,000 from $339,000 in 2012. The increase in interest expense in 2013 compared to 2012 related primarily to the increase in bank fees related to the Company’s line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo. Interest Income Interest income decreased $98,000 or 8.6% to $1,047,000 in 2013 from $1,145,000 in 2012. Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense), net was $1,937,000 in 2013 compared to $1,783,000 in 2012, an increase of $154,000 or 8.6% due to an increase in investment income on a portion of the Company’s excess cash invested in mutual funds beginning in 2013. Income Tax Income tax expense on continuing operations for 2013 was $19,028,000, compared to income tax expense of $19,487,000 for 2012. The effective tax rates for 2013 and 2012 were 32.7% and 36.3%, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate from 2012 to 2013 is tax legislation passed in early 2013 that allowed the Company to obtain a tax credit in 2013 based upon amounts expensed for research and development in 2012 in addition to research and development costs incurred in 2013. Net Income Attributable To Controlling Interest The Company had net income attributable to controlling interest of $39,042,000 in 2013 compared to $40,828,000 in 2012 (which includes $6,779,000 of income from discontinued operations) for a decrease of $1,786,000, or 4.4%. Earnings per diluted share decreased $0.08 from $1.77 in 2012 to $1.69 in 2013. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were 23,081,000 and 23,051,000, respectively. The increase in shares outstanding is primarily due to the granting of restricted stock units. Astec Industries, Inc. I 47 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Backlog The backlog of orders at December 31, 2013 was $290,242,000 compared to $263,791,000 at December 31, 2012, an increase of $26,451,000, or 10.0%. The increase in the backlog of orders was due to an increase in domestic backlog of $43,880,000 or 28.0% offset by a decrease in international backlog of $17,429,000 or 16.3%. The Aggregate and Mining Group backlog increased $16,899,000 or 19.2% from 2012 to 2013 due in part to an order received in late 2013 for a large crushing, screening and wash plant for a domestic customer. The Asphalt Group backlog increased $13,891,000 or 9.9% from 2012. The Underground Group backlog increased $669,000 or 4.8% from 2012 due to the increased demand for units for the oil and gas industry in the latter part of 2013. The Mobile Asphalt Paving Group backlog increased $1,826,000 or 42.8%. The Mobile Asphalt Paving Group typically operates with a smaller backlog than the other segments due to the nature of its products. The Company is unable to determine whether the increase in backlogs was experienced by the industry as a whole.

Domestic sales for the Asphalt Group increased 11.4% in 2013 compared to 2012 due to the strengthening of the U.S. domestic economy. International sales for the Asphalt Group decreased 23.8% in 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in international sales occurred primarily in Canada, Mexico, Asia, India and Central America. Parts sales for the Asphalt Group increased 4.8% in 2013 compared to 2012. Aggregate and Mining Group: Sales in this group were $350,514,000 in 2013 compared to $355,428,000 in 2012, a decrease of $4,914,000 or 1.4%. Domestic sales for the Aggregate and Mining Group increased 1.9% in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to improving economic conditions and improved demand related to infrastructure, particularly in the oil and gas producing regions of the country. International sales for the Aggregate and Mining Group decreased 4.6% in 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in international sales occurred primarily in Europe, Post-Soviet States, South America, China and Brazil. Parts sales for the Aggregate and Mining Group increased 5.5% in 2013 compared to 2012. Mobile Asphalt Paving Group: Sales in this group were $168,444,000 in 2013 compared to $158,115,000 in 2012, an increase of $10,329,000 or 6.5%. Domestic sales for the Mobile Asphalt Paving Group increased 8.8% in 2013 over 2012. The Mobile Asphalt Paving Group completed the first phase of the redesign of equipment models affected by the federally mandated switch to Tier IV engines which resulted in an increase in interest from domestic customers for the newly designed models in 2013. International sales for the Mobile Asphalt Paving Group decreased 3.9% in 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease internationally occurred primarily in Russia offset by an increase in Europe. Parts sales for this group remained relatively flat in 2013 compared to 2012. Underground Group: Sales in this group were $73,104,000 in 2013 compared to $82,802,000 in 2012, a decrease of $9,698,000 or 11.7%. Domestic sales for the Underground Group decreased 27.9% in 2013 compared to 2012 due to the sale of the small utility trencher and drill line of products in 2012. International sales for the Underground Group increased 38.9% in 2013 compared to 2012. The increase in international sales occurred in the Post-Soviet States and Africa, and was primarily related to water well drilling rigs sales. Parts sales for the Underground Group decreased 31.3% in 2013 due to the sale of the small utility trencher and drill line of products in 2012. 48 I Astec Industries, Inc. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Other Group: Sales for the Other Group were $102,977,000 in 2013 compared to $105,366,000 in 2012, a decrease of $2,389,000 or 2.3%. Domestic sales for the Other Group, which are generated by Peterson Pacific Corp., increased 28.1% in 2013 compared to 2012. The increase in sales was a result of land clearing projects for a large pipeline project in the northeastern U.S., as well as an improvement in the U.S. grinder and recycler market. International sales for the Other Group, which are generated primarily by Astec Australia, decreased 17.8% in 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in international sales is due primarily to 2012 including abnormally high asphalt plant sales. Astec Australia functions as a dealer for the Company’s other subsidiaries and sells, installs and services equipment for the asphalt, aggregate and mining, mobile asphalt and underground construction markets of Australia. Parts sales for the Other Group increased 7.7% in 2013.

Gross profit for this group decreased $867,000 or 4.7% year over year due in part to decreased sales of $2,389,000 for this group. The profit in this group was also significantly impacted by U.S. federal income tax expense, which is recorded at the parent company. Results of Operations: 2012 vs. 2011 Net Sales Net sales increased $27,632,000 or 3.0%, from $908,641,000 in 2011 to $936,273,000 in 2012. Sales are generated primarily from new equipment purchases made by customers for use in construction for privately funded infrastructure and public sector spending on infrastructure as well as equipment for the aggregate, mining, quarrying and recycle markets and the oil and gas and geothermal industries. The overall increase in sales for 2012 compared to 2011 reflects the strengthening economic conditions in domestic markets. Domestic sales for 2012 were $572,522,000 or 61.1% of consolidated net sales compared to $543,527,000 or 59.8% of consolidated net sales for 2011, an increase of $28,995,000 or 5.3%. The overall increase in domestic sales for 2012 compared to 2011 reflects the strengthening economic conditions for the Company’s products in the domestic market.

International sales remained relatively flat but still strong as a percentage of 2012 total sales due to strong economic conditions in the international markets the Company serves as well as the continued efforts of the Company to grow its international business. Astec Industries, Inc. I 49 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Parts sales as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 210 basis points to 26.3% in 2012 from 24.2% in 2011. In dollars, parts sales increased 11.8% to $245,851,000 in 2012 from $219,963,000 in 2011. Gross Profit Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 110 basis points to 22.2% in 2012 from 23.3% in 2011. The decrease in gross margin is partially due to the costs associated with the redesign of certain of our products as a result of the switch to Tier 4 engines mandated by the federal government as well as increased production costs associated with new products recently introduced to the market and the underutilization of plant capacity at certain of our facilities. Sales price increases lagging behind raw material price increases on the aged backlog of equipment orders and competitive pricing pressures also contributed to the decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales. Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2012 were $136,323,000 or 14.6% of net sales, compared to $132,371,000 or 14.6% of net sales for 2011, an increase of $3,952,000 or 3.0%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll and related expenses of $6,638,000, an increase in travel expenses of $1,501,000, and an increase in health insurance of $4,125,000. These expenses were offset by a decrease in expenses of $3,159,000 related to the triennial Con-Expo Show which took place in 2011, profit sharing expense of $1,911,000, the write down of aviation assets held for sale of $2,304,000 (2011 only) and stock based compensation expense of $1,548,000. Research and Development Research and development expenses decreased $244,000 or 1.2% to $20,520,000 in 2012 from $20,764,000 in 2011. During 2012 and 2011 the Company invested heavily in research and development across all segments for numerous new equipment offerings, including the continued development of a wood pellet processing plant. Interest Expense Interest expense in 2012 increased $149,000, or 78.4%, to $339,000 from $190,000 in 2011. The increase in interest expense in 2012 compared to 2011 related primarily to the increase in bank fees related to the Company’s new line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo. Interest Income Interest income increased $262,000 or 29.7% to $1,145,000 in 2012 from $883,000 in 2011. The increase in interest income resulted from an increase in amounts invested in 2012 compared to 2011 and interest earned on notes receivable from customers. Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense), net was $1,783,000 in 2012 compared to $1,082,000 in 2011, an increase of $701,000 or 64.8% due to increased licensing fee income. Income Tax Income tax expense on continuing operations for 2012 was $19,487,000, compared to income tax expense of $19,733,000 for 2011. The effective tax rates for 2012 and 2011 were 36.3% and 32.8%, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in the effective tax rate from 2011 to 2012 was the unavailability of the research and development tax credit for 2012. Tax legislation passed in early 2013 allowed the Company to obtain a tax credit in 2013 based upon amounts expensed for research and development in 2012 in addition to research and development costs expensed in 2013. Net Income Attributable To Controlling Interest The Company had net income attributable to controlling interest of $40,828,000 in 2012 (which includes $6,779,000 income from discontinued operations) compared to $40,563,000 in 2011 for an increase of $265,000, or 0.7%. Earnings per diluted share increased slightly to $1.77 in 2012 from $1.76 in 2011. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were 23,051,000 and 22,984,000, respectively. The increase in shares outstanding is primarily due to the vesting of restricted stock units and the exercise of stock options by employees of the Company. Backlog The backlog of orders at December 31, 2012 was $263,791,000 compared to $268,618,000 (adjusted for discontinued operations) at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $4,827,000, or 1.8%. The decrease in the backlog of orders was due to an increase in domestic backlog of $11,578,000 or 8.0% offset by a decrease in international backlog of $16,405,000 or 13.3%. The Asphalt Group backlog increased $24,053,000 or 20.8% from 2011. The Asphalt Group increase was to related domestic orders and was primarily due to an order for a wood pellet processing plant. The Aggregate and Mining Group backlog decreased $10,139,000 or 10.3%. 50 I Astec Industries, Inc. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) The decrease in backlog for the Aggregate and Mining Group occurred in both domestic and international orders. The Underground Group backlog decreased $7,438,000 or 34.8% from 2011 due to the decreased demand for units for the oil and gas industry in the latter part of 2012. The Mobile Asphalt Paving Group backlog decreased $1,884,000 or 30.6%. The Mobile Asphalt Paving Group typically operates with a smaller backlog than the other segments due to the nature of their products. The Company is unable to determine whether the decrease in backlogs was experienced by the industry as a whole.

Domestic sales for the Asphalt Group decreased 8.9% in 2012 compared to 2011 due primarily to delayed approval of a federal long-term highway funding bill, which impacted orders that typically require a long production lead time, in addition to state budgetary concerns. The federal highway funding was passed in July 2012 but was well after most states let their jobs for construction in 2012. International sales for the Asphalt Group decreased 12.4% in 2012 compared to 2011. The decrease in international sales occurred primarily in Europe, the Middle East, Post-Soviet States and South America. Parts sales for the Asphalt Group remained flat in 2012 compared to 2011. Aggregate and Mining Group: Sales in this group were $355,428,000 in 2012 compared to $333,278,000 in 2011, an increase of $22,150,000 or 6.6%. Domestic sales for the Aggregate and Mining Group increased 16.2% in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to improving economic conditions and improved demand related to infrastructure, particularly in the oil and gas producing regions of the country. International sales for the Aggregate and Mining Group decreased 1.3% in 2012 compared to 2011. The decrease in international sales occurred primarily in South America, Africa, and the Middle East. Parts sales for the Aggregate and Mining Group increased 7.6% in 2012 compared to 2011. Mobile Asphalt Paving Group: Sales in this group were $158,115,000 in 2012 compared to $187,988,000 in 2011, a decrease of $29,873,000 or 15.9%. Domestic sales for the Mobile Asphalt Paving Group decreased 15.3% in 2012 over 2011. Domestic sales of equipment for this Group were negatively affected by the federal government mandated switch to Tier IV engines as well as increased competition from international manufacturers that had a longer transition time to implement the Tier IV engines on their imports to the U.S. market. The decrease in domestic sales for the Mobile Asphalt Paving Group is also due in part to the increase of available rental units in the market. International sales for the Mobile Asphalt Paving Group decreased 18.7% in 2012 compared to 2011. The decrease internationally occurred primarily in Canada, South America and Mexico. Parts sales for this group increased 4.5% in 2012. Underground Group: Sales in this group were $82,802,000 in 2012 compared to $37,683,000 in 2011, an increase of $45,119,000 or 119.7%. Domestic sales for the Underground Group increased 177.4% in 2012 compared to 2011. International sales for the Underground Group increased 33.1% in 2012 compared to 2011. The increase in international sales occurred in Asia, South America, and Australia. Parts sales for the Underground Group increased 148.5% in 2012. GEFCO, which was acquired by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2011, accounted for $34,643,000 of the increase in the Underground Group’s sales and positively impacted both domestic and international sales, including parts sales, of this Group. Other Group: Sales for the Other Group were $105,366,000 in 2012 compared to $89,288,000 in 2011, an increase of $16,078,000 or 18.0%. Domestic sales for the Other Group, which are generated by Peterson Pacific Corp., increased 13.3% in 2012 compared to 2011. International sales for the Other Group, which are generated primarily by Astec Australia, increased 20.6% in 2012 compared to 2011. Astec Australia functions as a dealer for the Company’s other subsidiaries and has increased its focus to sell, install and service equipment for the asphalt, aggregate and mining, mobile asphalt and underground construction markets of Australia. Parts sales for the Other Group increased 4.2% in 2012. Astec Industries, Inc.

This group had a decrease of $7,712,000 in gross profit compared to 2011 as a result of the $25,842,000 decrease in sales. Aggregate and Mining Group: Profit for this group was $34,687,000 in 2012 compared to $31,493,000 in 2011, an increase of $3,194,000 or 10.1%. This group had an increase of $7,165,000 in gross profit during 2012 as a result of the $22,150,000 increase in sales. This gross profit increase was offset by increases of $3,761,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses, including payroll related expenses, travel expense, sales commission expense, and research and development expenses. Mobile Asphalt Paving Group: Profit for this group was $10,721,000 in 2012 compared to profit of $26,485,000 in 2011, a decrease of $15,764,000 or 59.5%. This group had a decrease of $15,235,000 in gross profit during 2012 as a result of the $29,873,000 decrease in sales and also due to the costs associated with the redesign of certain products as a result of the switch to Tier 4 engines mandated by the federal government. This group had an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $747,000, which was primarily attributed to payroll related expense, travel expense, sales commission expense and research and development expenses. Underground Group: This group had a loss of $2,238,000 in 2012 compared to a loss of $7,318,000 in 2011 for an improvement of $5,080,000 or 69.4%. This group had an increase of $9,386,000 in gross profit during 2012 driven by the $45,119,000 increase in sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4,391,000 due primarily to increases in payroll related expenses, bad debt expense, exhibit expense and research and development expenses. These results included GEFCO, Inc. results for the entire year of 2012 compared to three months of 2011. Other Group: The Other Group had a loss of $30,453,000 in 2012 compared to a loss of $38,549,000 in 2011, an improvement of $8,096,000 or 21.0%. Gross profit for this group increased $2,814,000 or 18.1% year over year due in part to $16,078,000 in increased sales for this group. The results for this group were positively impacted by the decrease in selling, general and administrative expense of $3,500,000 that resulted from decreases in profit sharing and stock based compensation expenses. In addition, the write down of aviation assets held for sale of $2,304,000 only occurred in 2011. The profit in this group was also significantly impacted by U.S. federal income tax expense, which is recorded at the parent company. Income tax expense in this group increased $1,691,000 in 2012 compared to 2011. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company’s primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are its cash on hand, investments, borrowing capacity under a $100,000,000 revolving credit facility and cash flows from operations. The Company had $35,564,000 (of which $12,442,000 was held by our foreign subsidiaries) of cash and $16,073,000 of short- term investments available for operating purposes at December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) at any time during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $6,943,000 and borrowing availability of $93,057,000 under the credit facility as of December 31, 2013. 52 I Astec Industries, Inc. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) On April 12, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo whereby Wells Fargo extended to the Company an unsecured line of credit of up to $100,000,000, including a sub-limit for letters of credit of up to $25,000,000. The amended and restated credit agreement replaced the expiring $100,000,000 credit facility between the Company and Wells Fargo. The amended and restated agreement has a five-year term expiring in April 2017. Borrowings under the agreement are subject to an interest rate equal to the daily one-month LIBOR rate plus a 0.75% margin. The unused facility fee is 0.175%. Interest only payments are due monthly. The amended and restated credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including provisions concerning required levels of annual net income, minimum tangible net worth and maximum allowed capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2013. The Company’s South African subsidiary, Osborn Engineered Products SA (Pty) Ltd (“Osborn”), has a credit facility of $7,146,000 (ZAR 75,000,000) to finance short-term working capital needs, as well as to cover performance letters of credit, advance payment and retention guarantees. As of December 31, 2013, Osborn had no cash borrowings under the credit facility, and $648,000 in performance, advance payment and retention guarantees under the facility. The facility is unsecured. As of December 31, 2013, Osborn had available credit under the facility of $6,498,000. The interest rate is 0.25% below the South Africa prime rate, resulting in a rate of 8.25% at December 31, 2013.

The change is primarily due to a $15,000,000 purchase of short-term investments in 2013 and a non-recurring proceed from the sale of a subsidiary of 2012. Cash Flows from Financing Activities (in thousands) Payment of dividends Other, net Net cash used by financing activities 2013 2012 Increase / Decrease $ (6,856) 270 $ (6,586) $ (22,790) $ 15,934 (48) $ (22,472) $ 15,886 318 Financing activities used cash of $6,586,000 in 2013 and $22,472,000 in 2012 for a net change of $15,886,000 due primarily to the payment of the Company’s initial $1.00 per common share dividend in December 2012 compared to $.10 per share quarterly dividends beginning in the second quarter of 2013. Capital expenditures for 2014 are forecasted to total $39,244,000. The Company expects to finance these expenditures using currently available cash balances, short-term investments, internally generated funds and available credit under the Company’s credit facility as well as local financing for the equipment in the new Brazilian manufacturing facility. Capital expenditures are generally for machinery, equipment and facilities used by the Company in the production of its various products. The Company sold American Augers, Inc. on November 30, 2012. Cash flows from the operations of American Augers are reflected in the statements of cash flows through the date of sale. Cash flows from the operations of American Augers were not material during the periods presented, and the absence of cash flows related to American Augers is not expected to impact the Company’s future liquidity or capital resources. See Note 22, Discontinued Operations, for additional information regarding the sale of American Augers. Financial Condition The Company’s current assets increased to $522,411,000 at December 31, 2013 from $504,084,000 at December 31, 2012, an increase of $18,327,000. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $29,630,000 in inventory. The Company’s current liabilities decreased to $133,531,000 at December 31, 2013 from $145,548,000 at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $12,017,000. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in customer deposits of $6,726,000 and other accrued liabilities of $7,095,000. Market Risk and Risk Management Policies The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily from its revolving credit agreements. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move (increase) in interest rates would not have materially affected interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, since there were no amounts outstanding on the revolving credit agreements during the year. The Company does not hedge variable interest. The Company is subject to foreign exchange risk at its foreign operations. Foreign operations represent 14.9% and 16.3% of total assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 14.0% and 14.4% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Each period the balance sheets and related results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional foreign currency into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. As the dollar strengthens against those foreign currencies, the foreign denominated net assets and operating results become less valuable in the Company’s reporting currency. When the dollar weakens against those currencies, the foreign denominated net assets and operating results become more valuable in the Company’s reporting currency. At each reporting date, the fluctuation in the value of the net assets and operating results due to foreign exchange rate changes is recorded as an adjustment to other comprehensive income in equity. The Company views its investments in foreign subsidiaries as long-term and does not hedge the net investments in foreign subsidiaries. 54 I Astec Industries, Inc. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) From time to time the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into transactions not denominated in their functional currency. In these situations, the Company evaluates the need to hedge those transactions against foreign currency rate fluctuations. When the Company determines a need to hedge a transaction, the subsidiary enters into a foreign currency exchange contract. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts and, therefore, recognizes the fair value of these contracts in the consolidated balance sheets and the change in the fair value of the contracts in current earnings. Due to the limited exposure to foreign exchange rate risk, a 10% fluctuation in the foreign exchange rates at December 31, 2013 or 2012 would not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contractual Obligations Contractual obligations and the period in which payments are due as of December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands): Contractual Obligations Operating lease obligations Inventory purchase obligations Total Payments Due by Period Total $ 2,442 1,652 $ 4,094 Less Than 1 Year $ 1,272 1,652 $ 2,924 1 to 3 Years 3 to 5 Years $ 945 -- $ 945 $ 188 -- $ 188 More Than 5 Years $ 37 -- $ 37 The above table excludes our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which totaled $1,933,000 at December 31, 2013, since we cannot predict with reasonable reliability the timing of cash settlements to the respective taxing authorities. In 2013, the Company made contributions of approximately $811,000 to its pension plan, compared to $755,000 in 2012. The Company estimates that it will contribute $353,000 to the pension plan during 2014. The Company’s funding policy is to make the minimum annual contributions required by applicable regulations. Contingencies Management has reviewed all claims and lawsuits and has made adequate provision for any losses that can be reasonably estimated. Based upon currently available information and with the advice of counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome of its current claims and legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and rulings unfavorable to the Company could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Certain customers have financed purchases of the Company’s products through arrangements in which the Company is contingently liable for customer debt aggregating $693,000 and $2,091,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These obligations have average remaining terms of 1.4 years. The Company has recorded a liability of $121,000 related to these guarantees at December 31, 2013. The Company is contingently liable under letters of credit of approximately $8,442,000, primarily for performance guarantees to customers, banks or insurance carriers. Off-balance Sheet Arrangements As of December 31, 2013 the Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K. Astec Industries, Inc. I 55 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Environmental Matters During 2004, the Company received notice from the Environmental Protection Agency that it may be responsible for a portion of the costs incurred in connection with an environmental cleanup in Illinois. The discharge of hazardous materials and associated cleanup relate to activities occurring prior to the Company’s acquisition of Barber-Greene in 1986. The Company believes that over 300 other parties have received similar notice. At this time, the Company cannot predict whether the EPA will seek to hold the Company liable for a portion of the cleanup costs or the amount of any such liability. The Company has not recorded a liability with respect to this matter because no estimate of the amount of any such liability can be made at this time. Critical Accounting Policies The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Application of these principles requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Accounting policies that are critical to aid in understanding and evaluating the results of operations and financial position of the Company include the following: Inventory Valuation: Inventories are valued at the lower of a first-in first-out cost or market. The most significant component of the Company’s inventories is steel. Open market prices, which are subject to volatility, determine the cost of steel for the Company. During periods when open market prices decline, the Company may need to reduce the carrying value of the inventory. In addition, certain items in inventory become obsolete over time, and the Company reduces the carrying value of these items to their net realizable value. These reductions are determined by the Company based on estimates, assumptions and judgments made from the information available at that time. The Company does not believe it is reasonably likely that the inventory values will materially change in the near future. Self-Insurance Reserves: The Company insures the retention portion of workers’ compensation claims and general liability claims by way of a captive insurance company, Astec Insurance Company. The objectives of Astec Insurance are to improve control over and reduce retained loss costs; to improve focus on risk reduction with development of a program structure which rewards proactive loss control; and to ensure active management participation in the defense and settlement process for claims. For general liability claims, the captive is liable for the first $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 per year in the aggregate. The Company carries general liability, excess liability and umbrella policies for claims in excess of those covered by the captive. For workers’ compensation claims, the captive is liable for the first $350,000 per occurrence and $2,750,000 per year in the aggregate. The Company utilizes a large national insurance company as third-party administrator for workers’ compensation claims and carries insurance coverage for claims liabilities in excess of amounts covered by the captive. The financial statements of the captive are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The short-term and long-term reserves for claims and probable claims related to general liability and workers’ compensation under the captive are included in accrued loss reserves and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets depending on the expected timing of future payments. The undiscounted reserves are actuarially determined based on the Company’s evaluation of the type and severity of individual claims and historical information, primarily its own claims experience, along with assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the future. However, the Company does not believe it is reasonably likely that the reserve level will materially change in the near future. At all but one of the Company’s domestic manufacturing subsidiaries, the Company is self-insured for health and prescription claims under its Group Health Insurance Plan. The Company carries reinsurance coverage to limit its exposure for individual health claims above certain limits. Third parties administer health claims and prescription medication claims. The Company maintains a reserve for the self-insured health plan which is included in accrued loss reserves on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. This reserve includes both unpaid claims and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported, based on historical claims and payment experience. Historically the reserves have been sufficient to provide for claims payments. Changes in actual claims experience, or payment patterns, could cause the reserve to change, but the Company does not believe it is reasonably likely that the reserve level will materially change in the near future. 56 I Astec Industries, Inc. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) The remaining U.S. subsidiary is covered under a fully insured group health plan. Employees of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are insured under health plans in accordance with their local governmental requirements. No reserves are necessary for these fully insured health plans. Product Warranty Reserve: The Company accrues for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. Warranty obligations by product line or model are evaluated based on historical warranty claims experience. For machines, the Company’s standard product warranty terms generally include post-sales support and repairs of products at no additional charge for periods ranging from three months to two years or up to a specified number of hours of operation. For parts from component suppliers, the Company relies on the original manufacturer’s warranty that accompanies those parts. Generally, fabricated parts are not covered by specific warranty terms. Although failure of fabricated parts due to material or workmanship is rare, if it occurs, the Company’s policy is to replace fabricated parts at no additional charge. The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers. Estimated warranty obligations are based upon warranty terms, product failure rates, repair costs and current period machine shipments. If actual product failure rates, repair costs, service delivery costs or post-sales support costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The Company does not believe it is reasonably likely that the warranty reserve will materially change in the near future. Revenue Recognition: Revenue is generally recognized on sales at the point in time when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the product has been delivered or services have been rendered and there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. The Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price with specified delivery terms. A significant portion of the Company’s equipment sales represents equipment produced in the Company’s plants under short-term contracts for a specific customer project or equipment designed to meet a customer’s specific requirements. Most of the equipment sold by the Company is based on standard configurations, some of which are modified to meet customer needs or specifications. The Company provides customers with technical design and performance specifications and performs pre-shipment testing to ensure the equipment performs according to design specifications, regardless of whether the Company provides installation services in addition to selling the equipment. Certain contracts include terms and conditions through which the Company recognizes revenues upon completion of equipment production, which is subsequently stored at the Company’s plant at the customer’s request. Revenue is recorded on such contracts upon the customer’s assumption of title and risk of ownership and when collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, there must be a fixed schedule of delivery of the goods consistent with the customer’s business practices, the Company must not have retained any specific performance obligations such that the earnings process is not complete and the goods must have been segregated from the Company’s inventory prior to revenue recognition. The Company has certain sales accounted for as multiple-element arrangements, whereby revenue attributable to the sale of a product is recognized when it is shipped, and the revenue attributable to services provided with respect to the product (such as installation services) is recognized when the service is performed. Consideration is determined using the fair value method and approximates the sales price of the product shipped or services performed. The Company evaluates sales with multiple deliverable elements (such as an agreement to deliver equipment and related installation services) to determine whether revenue related to individual elements should be recognized separately, or as a combined unit. In addition to the previously mentioned general revenue recognition criteria, the Company only recognizes revenue on individual delivered elements when there is objective and reliable evidence that the delivered element has a determinable value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is no right of return. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are classified into two categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization, and (2) goodwill. Intangible assets with definite lives are tested for impairment if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Risk factors that may be considered include an economic downturn in the general economy, a geographic market or the commercial and residential construction industries, a change in the assessment of future operations as well as the cyclical nature of our industry and the customization of the equipment we sell, each of which may cause adverse fluctuations in operating results. Other risk factors considered would be an increase in the price or a decrease in the availability of oil that could reduce the demand for our products in addition to the significant fluctuations Astec Industries, Inc. I 57 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) in the purchase price of raw materials that could have a negative impact on the cost of production and gross margins as well as others more fully described in the Risk Factors section of our Form 10-K. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the definite lived intangible asset is not recoverable by the cash flows generated from the use of the asset. Some of the inputs used in the impairment testing are highly subjective and are affected by changes in business factors and other conditions. Changes in any of the inputs could have an effect on future tests and result in impairment charges. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that such intangible assets or goodwill might be impaired. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for a detailed description of testing performed by the Company to determine if the recorded value of intangible assets or goodwill has been impaired. The useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are determined after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors considered when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement, the history of the asset, the Company’s long-term strategy for the use of the asset, any laws or other local regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset, and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized, generally on a straight-line basis, over their useful lives, ranging from 6 to 15 years. Stock-based Compensation: Beginning in 2006 and again in 2011, the Company implemented five-year plans to award key members of management restricted stock units (“RSUs”) each year based upon annual financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. Each five-year plan allows up to 700,000 of newly issued shares of Company stock to be granted to employees. The number of RSUs granted each year is determined based upon the performance of individual subsidiaries and consolidated annual financial performance with additional RSUs available for cumulative five-year results. Generally, each award vests at the end of five years from the date of grant, or at the time a recipient retires after reaching age 65, if earlier. These plans are more fully described in Note 17, Shareholders’ Equity, to the consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There are no recently promulgated accounting pronouncements (either recently adopted or yet to be adopted) that are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting in the foreseeable future. 58 I Astec Industries, Inc. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Forward-Looking Statements This annual report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

I 61 ASTEC INDUSTRIES, INC. MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING The management of Astec Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework: 1992. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. 62 I Astec Industries, Inc. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholders Astec Industries, Inc. We have audited Astec Industries, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria). Astec Industries, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, Astec Industries, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Astec Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 of Astec Industries, Inc. and our report dated March 3, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Astec Industries, Inc. and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s significant wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 are as follows: Astec Australia Pty Ltd Astec, Inc. Astec Mobile Machinery GmbH Astec Underground, Inc. Breaker Technology Ltd. CEI Enterprises, Inc. Heatec, Inc. Kolberg-Pioneer, Inc. Peterson Pacific Corp. Telsmith, Inc. Astec do Brasil Fabricacao de Equipamentos LTDA Astec Insurance Company Astec Mobile Screens, Inc. Breaker Technology, Inc. Carlson Paving Products, Inc. GEFCO, Inc. Johnson Crushers International, Inc. Osborn Engineered Products SA (Pty) Ltd (93% owned) Roadtec, Inc. On November 30, 2012, the Company sold its former American Augers, Inc. subsidiary to The Charles Machine Works, Inc. American Augers’ results of operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations in 2012 and 2011. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Foreign Currency Translation - Subsidiaries located in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany and South Africa operate primarily using local functional currencies. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and costs are translated using average exchange rates for the period. The resulting adjustments are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, net are included in cost of sales and amounted to a loss of $522,000 in 2013 and gains of $867,000 and $490,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, revolving debt and accounts payable, the carrying amount approximates the fair value because of the short- term nature of those instruments. Trading equity investments are valued at their estimated fair value based on their quoted market prices and debt securities are valued based upon a mix of observable market prices and model driven prices derived from a matrix of observable market prices for assets with similar characteristics obtained from a nationally recognized third party pricing service. Financial assets and liabilities are categorized as of the end of each reporting period based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The inputs used to measure the fair value are identified in the following hierarchy: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 - Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Astec Industries, Inc. I 71 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS All financial assets and liabilities held by the Company at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 as summarized in Note 4, Fair Value Measurements. Cash and Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. Investments - Investments consist primarily of investment-grade marketable securities. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in net income. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method. Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade date basis. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of acquisition and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company sells products to a wide variety of customers. Accounts receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial condition generally without requiring collateral although the Company normally requires advance payments or letters of credit on large equipment orders. Credit risk is driven by conditions within the economy and the industry and is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. To minimize credit risk, the Company monitors credit levels and financial conditions of customers on a continuing basis. After considering historical trends for uncollectible accounts, current economic conditions and specific customer recent payment history and financial stability, the Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover probable credit losses. Amounts are deemed past due when they exceed the payment terms agreed to by the customer in the sales contract. Past due amounts are charged off when reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and the amounts are deemed uncollectible by management. As of December 31, 2013, concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to the wide variety of customers and industries in which the Company operates. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The following table represents a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands): Reserve balance, beginning of year Provision Write offs Other Reserve balance, end of year Year Ended December 31 2012 $ 2,398 759 (764) (250) $ 2,143 2013 $ 2,143 629 (1,042) (22) $ 1,708 2011 $ 1,820 1,510 (884) (48) $ 2,398 Inventories - Inventory costs include materials, labor and overhead. Inventories (excluding used equipment) are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Used equipment inventories are stated at the lower of specific unit cost or market. When the Company determines that the value of inventory has become impaired through damage, deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, excessive levels of inventory or other causes, the Company reduces the carrying value to estimated market value based on estimates, assumptions and judgments made from the information available at that time. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling cost and wasted materials are recognized as current period charges. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: airplanes (20 years), buildings (40 years) and equipment (3 to 10 years). Both accelerated and straight-line methods are used for tax compliance purposes. Routine repair and maintenance costs and planned major maintenance are expensed when incurred. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - The Company’s intangible assets are classified as either intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization or goodwill. 72 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company tests intangible assets with definite lives for impairment if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such conditions may include an economic downturn in a geographic market or a change in the assessment of future operations. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the definite lived intangible asset is not recoverable by the future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use of the asset. The Company determines the useful lives of identifiable intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors considered when determining useful lives include the contractual terms of agreements, the history of the asset, the Company’s long-term strategy for the use of the asset, any laws or other local regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset, and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives, ranging from 6 to 15 years. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The tests utilize a two-step method at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting units are typically defined as either subsidiaries or a combination of two subsidiaries. No impairment was indicated in these tests in 2013, 2012 and 2011. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares book value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, with the unit’s fair value. In this first step, the Company estimates the fair values of each of its reporting units that have goodwill using the income approach. The income approach uses a reporting unit’s projection of estimated future operating results and cash flows which are then discounted using a weighted average cost of capital determined based on current market conditions for the individual reporting unit. The projection uses management’s best estimates of cash flows over the projection period based on estimates of annual and terminal growth rates in sales and costs, changes in operating margins, selling, general and administrative expenses, working capital requirements and capital expenditures. The fair value of the operating subsidiaries/reporting units that do not have goodwill are estimated using either the income or market approaches, depending on which approach is the most appropriate for each reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting units that serve operating units in supporting roles, such as the captive insurance company and the corporate reporting unit, are estimated using the cost approach. The sum of the fair values of all reporting units is compared to its calculation of the fair value of the consolidated Company using the market approach, which is inferred from the market capitalization of the Company at the date of the valuation, to confirm that the Company’s estimation of the fair value of its reporting units is reasonable. If the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an indication of possible goodwill impairment, the second step of the impairment test must be performed to determine the amount, if any, of goodwill impairment. In this second step, the total implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is estimated by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all its assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets and liabilities other than goodwill. The difference between the total fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its assets and liabilities other than goodwill is the implied fair value of its goodwill. The amount of any impairment loss is equal to the excess, if any, of the book value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of its goodwill. Determining the “step one” fair values of the Company’s reporting units involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Impairment of Long-lived Assets - In the event that facts and circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the carrying amount for each asset (or group of assets) to determine if a writedown is required. If this review indicates that the assets will not be recoverable, the carrying values of the impaired assets are reduced to their estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows, prices for similar assets or other valuation techniques. Astec Industries, Inc. I 73 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Self-Insurance Reserves - The Company retains the risk for a portion of its workers’ compensation claims and general liability claims by way of a captive insurance company, Astec Insurance Company, (“Astec Insurance” or “the captive”). Astec Insurance is incorporated under the laws of the state of Vermont. The objectives of Astec Insurance are to improve control over and reduce the cost of claims; to improve focus on risk reduction with development of a program structure which rewards proactive loss control; and to ensure management participation in the defense and settlement process for claims. For general liability claims, the captive is liable for the first $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 per year in the aggregate. The Company carries general liability, excess liability and umbrella policies for claims in excess of those covered by the captive. For workers’ compensation claims, the captive is liable for the first $350,000 per occurrence and $2,750,000 per year in the aggregate. The Company utilizes a large national insurance company as third party administrator for workers’ compensation claims and carries insurance coverage for claims liabilities in excess of amounts covered by the captive. The financial statements of the captive are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The short-term and long-term reserves for claims and potential claims related to general liability and workers’ compensation under the captive are included in accrued loss reserves or other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets depending on the expected timing of future payments. The undiscounted reserves are actuarially determined to cover the ultimate cost of each claim based on the Company’s evaluation of the type and severity of individual claims and historical information, primarily its own claims experience, along with assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the future. However, the Company does not believe it is reasonably likely that the reserve level will materially change in the foreseeable future. At all but one of the Company’s domestic manufacturing subsidiaries, the Company is self-insured for health and prescription claims under its Group Health Insurance Plan. The Company carries reinsurance coverage to limit its exposure for individual health claims above certain limits. Third parties administer health claims and prescription medication claims. The Company maintains a reserve for the self-insured health plan which is included in accrued loss reserves on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. This reserve includes both unpaid claims and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported, based on historical claims and payment experience. Historically the reserves have been sufficient to provide for claims payments. Changes in actual claims experience or payment patterns could cause the reserve to change, but the Company does not believe it is reasonably likely that the reserve level will materially change in the near future. The remaining U.S. subsidiary is covered under a fully insured group health plan. Employees of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are insured under separate health plans. No reserves are necessary for these fully insured health plans. Revenue Recognition - Revenue is generally recognized on sales at the point in time when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the product has been delivered or services have been rendered and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. The Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of products at a specified price with specified delivery terms. A significant portion of the Company’s equipment sales represents equipment produced in the Company’s plants under short-term contracts for a specific customer project or equipment designed to meet a customer’s specific requirements. Most of the equipment sold by the Company is based on standard configurations, some of which are modified to meet customer needs or specifications. The Company provides customers with technical design and performance specifications and performs pre-shipment testing to ensure the equipment performs according to design specifications, regardless of whether the Company provides installation services in addition to selling the equipment. Certain contracts include terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company recognizes revenues upon completion of equipment production, which is subsequently stored at the Company’s plant at the customer’s request. Revenue is recorded on such contracts upon the customer’s assumption of title and risk of ownership and when collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, there must be a fixed schedule of delivery of the goods consistent with the customer’s business practices, the Company must not have retained any specific performance obligations such that the earnings process is not complete and the goods must have been segregated from the Company’s inventory prior to revenue recognition. 74 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company accounts for certain sales as multiple-element arrangements, whereby the revenue attributable to the sale of a product is recognized when the product is shipped and the revenue attributable to services provided with respect to the product (such as installation services) is recognized when the service is performed. Consideration is determined using the fair value method and approximates sales price of the product shipped or service performed. The Company evaluates sales with multiple deliverable elements (such as an agreement to deliver equipment and related installation services) to determine whether revenue related to individual elements should be recognized separately, or as a combined unit. In addition to the previously mentioned general revenue recognition criteria, the Company only recognizes revenue on individual delivered elements when there is objective and reliable evidence that the delivered element has a determinable value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is no right of return. The Company presents in the statements of income any taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, such as sales, use, value-added and some excise taxes, on a net (excluded from revenue) basis. Advertising Expense - The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $3,770,000, $4,223,000, and $3,346,000 in advertising costs during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Income Taxes - Income taxes are based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The Company periodically assesses the need to establish valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets to the extent the Company no longer believes it is more likely than not that the tax assets will be fully utilized. The Company evaluates a tax position to determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, based upon the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is subject to a measurement assessment to determine the amount of benefit to recognize and the appropriate reserve to establish, if any. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, no benefit is recognized. The Company is periodically audited by U.S. federal and state as well as foreign tax authorities. While it is often difficult to predict final outcome or timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, the Company believes its reserve for uncertain tax positions is adequate to reduce the uncertain positions to the greatest amount of benefit that is more likely than not realizable. Product Warranty Reserve - The Company accrues for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. Warranty obligations by product line or model are evaluated based on historical warranty claims experience. For machines, the Company’s standard product warranty terms generally include post-sales support and repairs of products at no additional charge for periods ranging from three months to two years or up to a specified number of hours of operation. For parts from component suppliers, the Company relies on the original manufacturer’s warranty that accompanies those parts. Generally, Company fabricated parts are not covered by specific warranty terms. Although failure of fabricated parts due to material or workmanship is rare, if it occurs, the Company’s policy is to replace fabricated parts at no additional charge. The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers. Estimated warranty obligations are based upon warranty terms, product failure rates, repair costs and current period machine shipments. If actual product failure rates, repair costs, service delivery costs or post-sales support costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Pension and Retirement Plans - The determination of obligations and expenses under the Company’s pension plan is dependent on the Company’s selection of certain assumptions used by independent actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 13, Pension and Retirement Plans and include among others, the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and the expected mortality rates. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, actual results that differ from assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect the recognized expense in such periods. Significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in the assumptions used may materially affect the pension obligations and future expenses. Astec Industries, Inc. I 75 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of its pension plan as an asset or liability. Actuarial gains and losses, amortization of prior service cost (credit) and amortization of transition obligations are recognized through other comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. The Company measures the funded status of its pension plan as of the date of the Company’s fiscal year-end. Stock-based Compensation - The Company currently has stock-based compensation plans in effect for its employees whereby participants may earn restricted stock units. The plans were put in place during 2006 and 2011 and will continue through at least 2015. These plans are more fully described in Note 17, Shareholders’ Equity. The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards in the financial statements based on the grant date calculated fair value of the awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awarded under the Company’s 2006 Incentive Plan were granted shortly after the end of each year through 2010 based upon the performance of the Company and its individual subsidiaries. RSUs were granted for performance in each of the years from 2006 through 2010 with additional RSUs granted based upon cumulative five-year performance. Upon the expiration of the 2006 Incentive Plan, the Company adopted a 2011 Incentive Plan which operates similar to the 2006 Incentive Plan for each of the five years ending December 31, 2015. The Company estimates the number of shares that will be granted for the most recent fiscal year end and the five-year cumulative performance based on actual and expected future operating results. Compensation expense for RSUs expected to be granted for the most recent fiscal year and the cumulative five-year based awards is calculated using the fair value of the Company stock at each period end and is adjusted to the fair value as of each future period-end until granted. Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share includes potential dilutive effects of options, restricted stock units and shares held in the Company’s supplemental executive retirement plan. The following table sets forth the compensation of net income attributable to controlling interest from continuing operations and the number of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands): Year Ended December 31 2012 2011 2013 Numerator: Net income from continuing operations Net income attributable to non-controlling interests Net income attributable to controlling interest from continuing operations $ 39,214 172 $ 34,210 161 $ 40,440 102 $ 39,042 $ 34,049 $ 40,338 Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock options and restricted stock units Supplemental executive retirement plan Denominator for diluted earnings per share 22,749 22,680 22,589 218 114 23,081 262 109 23,051 294 101 22,984 Antidilutive options were not included in the diluted EPS computation for the years presented. The number of antidilutive options in the three years ended December 31, 2013 was not material. Derivatives and Hedging Activities - The Company recognizes all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through income or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in income. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in income. From time to time the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to fluctuation in currency exchange rates. See Note 14, Derivative Financial Instruments, regarding foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012. 76 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Shipping and Handling Fees and Cost - The Company records revenues earned for shipping and handling as revenue, while the cost of shipping and handling is classified as cost of goods sold. Litigation Contingencies - In the normal course of business in the industry, the Company is named as a defendant in a number of legal proceedings associated with product liability and other matters. See Note 16, Contingent Matters for additional discussion of the Company’s legal contingencies. Business Combinations - The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. Accordingly, intangible assets are recorded apart from goodwill if they arise from contractual or legal rights or if they are separable from goodwill. Related third party acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and contingent consideration is booked at its fair value as part of the purchase price. Subsequent Events Review - Management has evaluated events occurring between December 31, 2013 and the date these financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for proper recording or disclosure therein. 2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements During 2013, the Company identified errors related to the elimination of intercompany profits on interdivisional sales within the Asphalt Group from 2009 through June 30, 2013. Management discovered the errors during its month-end review of its September 2013 internal financial statements while investigating a variance at one of its subsidiaries. The errors caused the gross margins, income taxes, profits, retained earnings and inventory levels previously reported for 2009 through June 30, 2013 to be understated each period. The adjustments necessary to correct the errors do not have a material impact on our previously presented financial statements as of any date; however, the correction of the cumulative effect of the errors would have been material to our income statement for 2013. The impact of the errors on the Company’s first two quarters of 2013 results was not material, and as such, the correction of the 2013 year-to-date error was recorded in the third quarter of 2013. The errors had no impact on total cash flows from operations as previously reported. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, an adjustment to the financial statements for each individual period presented is required to reflect the correction of the period-specific effects of the errors described above. Consequently, the Company has restated the consolidated financial statements included herein to correct for these errors. The cumulative impact of the errors was an understatement of finished goods inventory and retained earnings at December 31, 2012 by $4,061,000 and $2,736,000, at December 31, 2011 by $3,049,000 and $2,115,000 and at December 31, 2010 by $2,008,000 and $1,470,000, respectively. The December 31 consolidated balance sheets for each of these periods have been restated accordingly. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated income statements for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been restated to reflect the correction by increasing gross profit and pretax income by $1,012,000 and $1,041,000 and increasing net income from continuing operations by $621,000 and $645,000, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011 were increased by $0.03 in the restated financial statements. 3. Inventories Inventories consist of the following (in thousands): Raw materials and parts Work-in-process Finished goods Used equipment Total December 31 2013 $ 139,372 74,663 99,812 28,466 $ 342,313 2012 $ 129,676 76,052 85,061 21,894 $ 312,683 Astec Industries, Inc. I 77 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4. Fair Value Measurements The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including marketable debt and equity securities held by Astec Insurance Company (“Astec Insurance”), the Company’s captive insurance company, and marketable equity securities held in an unqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The financial assets held in the SERP also constitute a liability of the Company for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s subsidiaries also occasionally enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, revolving debt and accounts payable, the carrying amount approximates the fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments are carried at their fair value based on quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or, where no quoted prices exist, other observable inputs for the asset. The fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are based on quotations from various banks for similar instruments using models with market based inputs. As indicated in the tables below, the Company has determined that its financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are level 1 and level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): December 31, 2013 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial Assets: Trading equity securities: SERP money market fund SERP mutual funds Preferred stocks Short-term investments in mutual funds $ 783 2,813 1,170 16,073 $ -- -- -- -- $ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- $ -- $ 783 2,813 1,170 16,073 4,851 1,908 549 250 864 452 $ 29,713 3,696 -- 103 250 -- -- $ 24,888 1,155 1,908 446 -- 864 452 $ 4,825 $ -- $ -- $ 7,828 $ 7,828 $ -- $ -- $ 7,828 $ 7,828 Trading debt securities: Corporate bonds Municipal bonds Floating rate notes U.S. Treasury bill Other government bonds Derivative financial instruments Total financial assets Financial Liabilities: SERP liabilities Total financial liabilities 78 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial Assets: Trading equity securities: SERP money market fund SERP mutual funds Preferred stocks Trading debt securities: Corporate bonds Municipal bonds Floating rate notes U.S. Treasury bill Other government bonds Total financial assets Financial Liabilities: SERP liabilities Derivative financial instruments Total financial liabilities December 31, 2012 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $ 996 1,835 720 $ -- -- -- $ -- -- -- $ 996 1,835 720 3,342 1,449 749 200 -- $ 9,291 909 957 -- -- 409 $ 2,275 -- -- -- -- -- $ -- 4,251 2,406 749 200 409 $ 11,566 $ -- -- $ -- $ 6,674 145 $ 6,819 $ -- -- $ -- $ 6,674 145 $ 6,819 The Company reevaluates the volume of trading activity for each of its investments at the end of each reporting period and adjusts the level within the fair value hierarchy as needed. Due to decreased trading activity, $564,000 of investments included in Level 1 at December 31, 2012 were transferred to Level 2 at December 31, 2013. 5. Investments The Company’s trading securities consist of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2013 Trading equity securities Trading debt securities Total December 31, 2012 Trading equity securities Trading debt securities Total Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value (Net Carrying Amount) $ 19,411 8,385 $ 27,796 $ 1,459 174 $ 1,633 $ 31 137 $ 168 $ 20,839 8,422 $ 29,261 $ 3,432 7,836 $ 11,268 $ 130 228 $ 358 $ 11 49 $ 60 $ 3,551 8,015 $ 11,566 Trading equity investments noted above are valued at their estimated fair value based on their quoted market prices and trading debt securities are valued based upon a mix of observable market prices and model driven prices derived from a matrix of observable market prices for assets with similar characteristics obtained from a nationally recognized third party pricing service. Additionally, a significant portion of the trading equity securities are in equity money market and mutual funds and also comprise a portion of the Company’s liability under its SERP. See Note 13, Pension and Retirement Plans, for additional information on these investments and the SERP. Trading debt securities are comprised mainly of marketable debt securities held by Astec Insurance. Astec Insurance has an investment strategy that focuses on providing regular and predictable interest income from a diversified portfolio of high-quality fixed income securities. Net unrealized gains or (losses) incurred during 2013, 2012 and 2011 on investments still held as of the end of each reporting period, amounted to $175,000, $173,000 and ($77,000), respectively. Astec Industries, Inc. I 79 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 6. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. Current U.S. accounting guidance provides that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company performs the required valuation procedures each year as of December 31 after the following year’s forecasts are submitted and reviewed. The valuations performed in 2013, 2012 and 2011 indicated no impairment of goodwill. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting segment during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows (in thousands): Asphalt Group Aggregate and Mining Group Mobile Asphalt Paving Group Underground Group Balance, December 31, 2011 $ 5,922 -- Foreign currency translation 5,922 Balance, December 31, 2012 Foreign currency translation -- Balance, December 31, 2013 $ 5,922 $ 6,339 -- 6,339 -- $ 6,339 $ 2,728 22 2,750 46 $ 2,796 $ -- -- -- -- $ -- Other $ -- -- -- -- $ -- Total $ 14,989 22 15,011 46 $ 15,057 7. Long-lived and Intangible Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses for long-lived assets “held and used” are recorded if the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows used to test for recoverability is less than the carrying value. As a result of certain aviation equipment being classified as held for sale in 2011, an impairment charge was recorded in the amount of $2,304,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses by the All Others Group to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its fair value as determined based upon the industry blue book valuations of used aircraft (level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). Additional impairment charges of $394,000 were recorded in 2011 related to long-lived assets in the Underground Group. Other charges related to inventory valuation of $1,845,000 due to the sale of the utility product line assets were included in cost of sales in the Underground Group. An additional impairment charge of $26,000 was recorded in 2011 by the Asphalt Group related to long-lived assets. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $1,066,000, $1,855,000 and $573,000 for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Intangible assets, which are included in other long-term assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consisted of the following at December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands): 2013 2012 Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Dealer network and customer relationships Trade names Other Total $ 6,678 2,575 1,535 $ 10,788 $ (3,019) $ 3,659 2,222 662 $ (4,245) $ 6,543 (353) (873) $ 7,062 2,609 1,524 $ 11,195 $ (2,527) $ 4,535 2,425 865 $ (3,370) $ 7,825 (184) (659) Intangible asset amortization expense is expected to be $932,000, $831,000, $807,000, $693,000, and $601,000 in the years ending December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and $2,679,000 thereafter. 80 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 8.

Leases The Company leases certain land, buildings and equipment for use in its operations under various operating leases. Total rental expense charged to operations under operating leases was approximately $2,436,000, $2,753,000 and $2,472,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Minimum rental commitments for all noncancelable operating leases at December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands): 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Thereafter $1,272 578 367 109 79 37 $2,442 10. Debt On April 12, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo whereby Wells Fargo extended to the Company an unsecured line of credit of up to $100,000,000, including a sub-limit for letters of credit of up to $25,000,000. The amended and restated credit agreement replaced the expiring $100,000,000 credit facility between the Company and Wells Fargo. There were no outstanding revolving or term loan borrowings under the credit facilities at the time of transition or as of December 31, 2013. Letters of credit totaling $6,943,000 were outstanding under the new agreement as of December 31, 2013, resulting in additional borrowing ability of $93,057,000 on the Wells Fargo credit facility as of December 31, 2013. The amended and restated agreement has a five-year term expiring in April 2017. Borrowings under the agreement are subject to an interest rate equal to the daily one-month LIBOR rate plus a 0.75% margin. The unused facility fee is 0.175%. Interest only payments are due monthly. The amended and restated credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including provisions concerning required levels of annual net income, minimum tangible net worth and maximum allowed capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2013. The Company’s South African subsidiary, Osborn Engineered Products SA (Pty) Ltd (“Osborn”), has a credit facility of $7,146,000 (ZAR 75,000,000) to finance short-term working capital needs, as well as to cover performance letters of credit, advance payment and retention guarantees. As of December 31, 2013, Osborn had no cash borrowings and $648,000 in performance, advance payment and retention guarantees outstanding under the facility. The facility is unsecured and no unused facility fees are charged. As of December 31, 2013, Osborn had available credit under the facility of $6,498,000. The interest rate is 0.25% less than the South Africa prime rate, resulting in a rate of 8.25% as of December 31, 2013. Astec Industries, Inc. I 81 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 11. Product Warranty Reserves The Company warrants its products against manufacturing defects and performance to specified standards. The warranty period and performance standards vary by product, but generally range from three months to two years or up to a specified number of hours of operation. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability at the time product sales are recorded. The warranty liability is primarily based on historical claim rates, nature of claims and the associated costs. Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows (in thousands): Reserve balance, beginning of year Warranty liabilities accrued Warranty liabilities settled Other Reserve balance, end of year 12. Accrued Loss Reserves 2013 $ 11,052 12,199 (10,171) (364) $ 12,716 2012 $ 12,663 11,152 (11,022) (1,741) $ 11,052 2011 $ 9,891 13,029 (10,567) 310 $ 12,663 The Company accrues reserves for losses related to known workers’ compensation and general liability claims that have been incurred but not yet paid or are estimated to have been incurred but not yet reported to the Company. The undiscounted reserves are actuarially determined based on the Company’s evaluation of the type and severity of individual claims and historical information, primarily its own claim experience, along with assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the future. Total accrued loss reserves at December 31, 2013 were $7,344,000 compared to $7,315,000 at December 31, 2012, of which $4,016,000 and $4,094,000 was included in other long-term liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 13. Pension and Retirement Plans Prior to December 31, 2003, all employees of the Company’s Kolberg-Pioneer, Inc. subsidiary were covered by a defined benefit pension plan. After December 31, 2003, all benefit accruals under the plan ceased and no new employees could become participants in the plan. Benefits paid under this plan are based on years of service multiplied by a monthly amount. The Company’s funding policy for the plan is to make the minimum annual contributions required by applicable regulations. The Company’s investment strategy for the plan is to earn a rate of return sufficient to match or exceed the long- term growth of pension liabilities. The investment policy states that the Plan Committee in its sole discretion shall determine the allocation of plan assets among the following four asset classes: cash equivalents, fixed- income securities, domestic equities and international equities. The Plan Committee attempts to ensure adequate diversification of the invested assets through investment in an exchange traded mutual fund that invests in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and money market securities. 82 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following provides information regarding benefit obligations, plan assets and the funded status of the plan (in thousands, except as noted *): Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation, beginning of year Interest cost Actuarial (gain)/loss Benefits paid Benefit obligation, end of year Accumulated benefit obligation Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year (Level 1) Actual gain on plan assets Employer contribution Benefits paid Fair value of plan assets, end of year (Level 1) Funded status, end of year Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets Noncurrent liabilities Net amount recognized Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income consist of Net loss Net amount recognized Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31* Discount rate Expected return on plan assets Rate of compensation increase The measurement date used for the plan was December 31.

The Company’s contributions to the plan are based on employee contributions. The Company’s contributions totaled $4,941,000, $5,099,000, and $4,515,000 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for certain of its executive officers. The plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company makes quarterly cash contributions of a certain percentage of executive officers’ compensation. Investments are self-directed by participants and can include Company stock. Upon retirement, participants receive their apportioned share of the plan assets in the form of cash. 84 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Assets of the SERP consist of the following (in thousands): Company stock Equity securities Total December 31, 2013 Cost $ 2,786 3,241 $ 6,027 Market $ 4,232 3,596 $ 7,828 December 31, 2012 Cost $ 2,855 2,745 $ 5,600 Market $ 3,844 2,830 $ 6,674 The Company periodically adjusts the deferred compensation liability such that the balance of the liability equals the total fair market value of all assets held by the trust established under the SERP. Such liabilities are included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The equity securities are included in investments in the consolidated balance sheets and classified as trading equity securities. See Note 5, Investments, for additional information. The cost of the Company stock held by the plan is included as a reduction in shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The change in the fair market value of Company stock held in the SERP results in a charge or credit to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income because the acquisition cost of the Company stock in the SERP is recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity and is not adjusted to fair market value; however, the related liability is adjusted to the fair market value of the stock as of each period end. The Company recognized expense of $601,000 and $115,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively, and income of $45,000 in 2011 related to the change in the fair value of the Company stock held in the SERP. 14. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is foreign currency risk. From time to time the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument is recorded on the Company’s balance sheet and is adjusted to fair value at each measurement date. The changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the current period. The Company does not engage in speculative transactions nor does it hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The average U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was $11,543,000 during 2013. At December 31, 2013, the Company reported $452,000 of derivative assets in other current assets. The Company reported $145,000 of derivative liabilities in other accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2012. The Company recognized, as a component of cost of sales, a net gain on the change in fair value of derivative instruments of $1,061,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company recognized, as a component of cost of sales, a net loss on the change in fair value of derivative instruments of $594,000 and $144,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were no derivatives that were designated as hedges at December 31, 2013 or 2012. 15.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands): Deferred tax assets: Inventory reserves Warranty reserves Bad debt reserves State tax loss carryforwards Accrued vacation SERP Deferred compensation Restricted stock units Foreign exchange gains/losses Pension and post-employment benefits Other Valuation allowances Total deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment Amortization Goodwill Pension Foreign tax rate differential Total deferred tax liabilities Total net deferred liabilities December 31 2013 2012 $ 6,340 3,558 636 2,100 1,805 1,245 1,226 2,601 2,345 1,498 6,684 (4,354) 25,684 $ 3,702 2,894 678 2,001 1,797 1,180 790 2,963 683 2,475 4,856 (3,065) 20,954 19,711 1,200 2,012 1,132 3,681 27,736 18,933 1,120 1,770 1,186 2,873 25,882 $ (2,052) $ (4,928) As of December 31, 2013, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of $48,342,000, foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,181,000, and state tax credit carryforwards of $1,200,000 for tax purposes, which will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, these carryforwards will expire between 2014 and 2027. A significant portion of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets relates to the future utilization of state and foreign net operating loss and state tax credit carryforwards. Future utilization of these net operating loss and state tax credit carryforwards is evaluated by the Company on a periodic basis and the valuation allowance is adjusted accordingly. In 2013, the valuation allowance on these carryforwards was increased by $1,322,000 due to uncertainty about whether certain entities will realize their state net operating loss and state tax credit carryforwards. The Company has also determined that the recovery of certain other deferred tax assets is uncertain. The valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets was decreased by $33,000. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Breaker Technology Ltd., are considered to be indefinitely reinvested; accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to Canada. The cumulative amount of Breaker Technology, Ltd.’s unrecovered basis difference is $8,100,000 as of December 31, 2013. The determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on the basis difference is not practical at this time. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by authorities for years prior to 2010. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by authorities for years prior to 2007. Astec Industries, Inc. I 87 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company has a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $1,933,000 and $2,095,000 (excluding accrued interest and penalties) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. The Company recognized tax benefits of $101,000 and $178,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively, for penalties and interest related to amounts that were settled for less than previously accrued. The net total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $1,954,000 and $2,125,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company does not expect a significant increase or decrease to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties is as follows (in thousands): Balance, beginning of year Additions for tax positions related to the current year Additions for tax positions related to prior years Reductions due to lapse of statutes of limitations Decreases related to settlements with tax authorities Balance, end of year Year Ended December 31 2012 $ 1,682 396 90 (73) -- $ 2,095 2013 $ 2,095 102 128 (149) (243) $ 1,933 2011 $ 1,025 546 192 (81) -- $ 1,682 The December 31, 2013 balance of unrecognized tax benefits includes no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but the timing of such deductibility is uncertain. Accordingly, there is no impact to the deferred tax accounting for certain tax benefits. 16. Contingent Matters Certain customers have financed purchases of Company products through arrangements in which the Company is contingently liable for customer debt of $693,000 and $2,091,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the maximum potential amount of future payments for which the Company would be liable is equal to $693,000. These arrangements also provide that the Company will receive the lender’s full security interest in the equipment financed if the Company is required to fulfill its contingent liability under one of these arrangements. The Company has recorded a liability of $121,000 related to these guarantees at December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company is contingently liable under letters of credit issued by Wells Fargo totaling $6,943,000 as of December 31, 2013, including a $1,600,000 letter of credit issued on behalf of Astec Australia. The outstanding letters of credit expire at various dates through November 2017. As of December 31, 2013, Osborn and Astec Australia are contingently liable for a total of $648,000 and $851,000, respectively, in performance advance payment and retention guarantees. As of December 31, 2013, the maximum potential amount of future payments under these letters of credit and guarantees for which the Company could be liable is $8,442,000. The Company is currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss (excluding estimated legal fees), or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable than another. As management becomes aware of additional information concerning such contingencies, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. If management believes that a material loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is either (i) probable but cannot be reasonably estimated or (ii) reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record the amount of the loss, but does make specific disclosure of such matter. Based upon currently available information and with the advice of counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome of its current claims and legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and rulings unfavorable to the Company could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. 88 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS During 2004, the Company received notice from the Environmental Protection Agency that it may be responsible for a portion of the costs incurred in connection with an environmental cleanup in Illinois. The discharge of hazardous materials and associated cleanup relate to activities occurring prior to the Company’s acquisition of Barber-Greene in 1986. The Company believes that over 300 other parties have received similar notice. At this time, the Company cannot predict whether the EPA will seek to hold the Company liable for a portion of the cleanup costs or the amount of any such liability. The Company has not recorded a liability with respect to the matter because no estimate of the amount, if any, of any such liability can be made at this time. 17. Shareholders’ Equity Beginning in 2006 and again in 2011, the Company implemented five-year plans to award key members of management restricted stock units (“RSUs”) each year based upon annual financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. Each five-year plan allows up to 700,000 of newly issued shares of Company stock to be granted to employees. The number of RSUs granted each year is determined based upon the performance of individual subsidiaries and consolidated annual financial performance, with additional RSUs available for cumulative five-year results. Generally, each award vests at the end of five years from the date of grant, or at the time a recipient retires after reaching age 65, if earlier. The fair value of the RSUs that vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $2,405,000, $2,719,000 and $406,000, respectively. The grant date tax benefit was reduced by $77,000 and $67,000 upon the vesting of RSUs in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Compensation expense of $1,231,000, $1,054,000 and $2,602,000 was recorded in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to reflect the fair value of RSUs granted (or anticipated to be granted for 2013 performance) less estimated forfeitures, amortized over the portion of the vesting period occurring during the period. Related income tax benefits of $417,000, $387,000 and $848,000 were recorded in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Based upon the grant date fair value of RSUs, it is anticipated that $2,431,000 of additional compensation costs will be recognized in future periods through 2021 for RSUs earned through December 31, 2013. The weighted average period over which this additional compensation cost will be expensed is 3.8 years. RSUs do not participate in Company paid dividends. Changes in restricted stock units during the year ended December 31, 2013 are as follows: Unvested restricted stock units, beginning of year Restricted stock units granted Restricted stock units forfeited Restricted stock units vested Unvested restricted stock units, end of year Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value $ 31.87 35.61 34.97 37.95 30.54 2012013 312,496 21,432 (3,595) (68,629) 261,704 The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $763,000, $1,303,000 and $4,240,000, respectively. The Company has adopted an Amended and Restated Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement and declared a distribution of one right (the “Right”) for each outstanding share of Company common stock, par value $0.20 per share (the “Common Stock”). Each Right entitles the registered holder (other than the “Acquiring Person” as defined below) to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share (a “Unit”) of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $72.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment. The Rights currently attach to the certificates representing shares of outstanding Company Common Stock, and no separate Rights certificates will be distributed. The Rights will separate from the Common Stock upon the earlier of ten business days (unless otherwise delayed by the Board) following the: 1) public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (the “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, obtained the right to acquire, or otherwise obtained beneficial ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or 2) commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in an Acquiring Person beneficially owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Board of Directors may terminate the Rights without any payment to the holders thereof at any time prior to the close of business ten business days following announcement by the Company that a person has become an Acquiring Person. Once the Rights Astec Industries, Inc. I 89 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS are separated from the Common Stock, then the Rights entitle the holder (other than the Acquiring Person) to purchase shares of Common Stock (rather than Preferred Stock) having a current market value equal to twice the Unit purchase price. The Rights, which do not have voting power and are not entitled to dividends, expire on December 22, 2015. In the event of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are exchanged, each Unit of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the per share amount paid in respect of each share of Common Stock. 18. Operations by Industry Segment and Geographic Area The Company has four reportable segments. These segments are combinations of business units that offer similar products and services. A brief description of each segment is as follows: Asphalt Group - This segment consists of three business units that design, engineer, manufacture and market a complete line of portable, stationary and relocatable hot-mix asphalt plants and related components and a variety of heaters, heat transfer processing equipment, thermal fluid storage tanks, concrete plants and wood pellet plants. The principal purchasers of these products are asphalt producers, highway heavy equipment contractors, wood pellet processors and foreign and domestic governmental agencies. Aggregate and Mining Group - This segment consists of seven business units that design, engineer, manufacture and market a complete line of rock crushers, feeders, conveyors, screens and washing equipment. The principal purchasers of these products are open-mine and quarry operators. Mobile Asphalt Paving Group - This segment consists of three business units that design, engineer, manufacture and market asphalt pavers, asphalt material transfer vehicles, milling machines and paver screeds.

Business Combinations Year Ended December 31 2013 2012 2011 $ 853 764 320 $ 1,937 $ 116 1,211 456 $ 1,783 $ 27 449 606 $ 1,082 On August 10, 2011, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Protec Technology and Machinery GmbH (“Protec”), a German corporation; Construction Machinery GmbH (“Construction Machinery”), a German corporation; and Protec Technology Ltd. (“Protec, Ltd.”), a Hong Kong corporation, for $3,000,000. The Company formed a new subsidiary, Astec Mobile Machinery GmbH (“AMM”), located in Hameln, Germany, to operate the acquired businesses. AMM designs, manufactures and markets asphalt rollers, screeds and a road widener attachment and distributes products produced by other Company subsidiaries, primarily Roadtec, Inc. On October 1, 2011, the Company acquired the GEFCO division of Blue Tee Corp. for $30,407,000. The Company formed a new subsidiary, GEFCO, Inc., to operate the acquired business. This purchase resulted in the recognition of $3,877,000 of amortizable intangible assets which consist of trade names (15 year useful life) and customer relationships (8 year useful life). The effective date of the purchase was October 1, 2011, and the results of GEFCO Inc.’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since that date. During January 2012, the purchase price allocation was finalized and funds previously held in escrow were distributed. GEFCO (formerly known as George E. Failing Company) was established in 1931 and was a leading manufacturer of portable drilling rigs and related equipment for the water well, environmental, groundwater monitoring, construction, mining and shallow oil & gas exploration and production industries. GEFCO, Inc. continues to manufacture Failing, SpeedStar and King Oil Tools equipment from its Enid, Oklahoma facilities. The revenue and pre-tax income of Protec, Protec, Ltd., Construction Machinery and GEFCO were not significant in relation to the Company’s 2011 financial statements and would not have been significant on a pro forma basis to any earlier periods. The Company has funded an investment of $12,835,000 in Astec do Brasil Fabricação de Equipamentos LTDA (“Astec Brazil”) located in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, Brazil, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. When fully funded by both the Company and MDE, a minority Brazil based shareholder, the Company anticipates a 75% ownership in Astec Brazil. In 2013, Astec Brazil operated by selling imported products from other Astec subsidiaries with some equipment assembled locally. The Astec Brazil manufacturing facility is currently under construction and is expected to open for production by mid to late 2014. The expected cost of the manufacturing facility is approximately $23,000,000. The acquisition cost of the manufacturing facility is being funded by capital contributions and loans from the parent company, borrowings from a Brazilian bank and capital contributions by MDE. The Company expects to increase its international market penetration in Brazil and Latin American countries with the aggregate, mining and asphalt segment’s product lines to be produced in the Astec Brazil manufacturing facility. 22. Discontinued Operations In October 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its American Augers, Inc. (“Augers”) subsidiary, as well as certain assets related to the Trencor large trencher product line of Astec Underground, Inc., to The Charles Machine Works, Inc. of Perry, Oklahoma. Augers and the Trencor large trencher product line were part of the Company’s Underground Group. The sale of Augers included substantially all the assets and liabilities of Augers and was completed on November 30, 2012 for $42,940,000, net of cash included in the sale and subject to closing adjustments. The Company retained the Augers vertical oil and gas drill rig 94 I Astec Industries, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS product line and relocated it to Astec Underground, the Company’s subsidiary located in Loudon, Tennessee. The sale of the Trencor product line was immaterial to the transaction and is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in continuing operations. This divestiture, as well as the sale of the small utility trencher and drill line of products to Toro earlier in 2012, is part of the Company’s strategy to exit the cyclical underground sector. The Company calculated the post-closing adjustments to the sale price and recorded the resulting $288,000 purchase price adjustment in other accrued liabilities in the December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet. The post-closing adjustment to the sales price was increased to a total of $499,000 when finalized and paid in early 2013. The results of operations and the gain on the sale of Augers are presented as discontinued operations for 2012 and 2011.
