1. Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements

We prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can be condensed or omitted.

 

We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of those for a full year.

 

Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a 13-week basis ending on a Saturday.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

2. New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supercedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced a deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 123R for calendar year companies until the beginning of 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures permitted under SFAS No. 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under SFAS No. 123R, we must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. SFAS No. 123R permits a prospective or two modified versions of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by the original SFAS No. 123. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, at which time we will begin recognizing an expense for unvested share-based compensation that has been issued or will be issued after January 1, 2006. Under the retrospective options, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. We have not yet finalized our decision concerning the transition option we will utilize to adopt SFAS No. 123R. We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 123R and expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have an impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share. The exact impact of SFAS No. 123R cannot be quantified at this time because it will depend on the level of share-based payments granted in the future and the method used to value such awards. However, we do not expect the adoption to result in amounts that are materially different than the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs—An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS No. 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by us on January 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition but do not expect SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for the fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by us in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition but do not expect it to have a material impact.

3. Stock-based Compensation

Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, we apply the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to our stock options and other stock-based compensation plans.

 

In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, cost for stock-based compensation is recognized in income based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date of the award or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The exercise price for stock options granted to employees equals the fair market value of Pentair’s common stock at the date of grant, thereby resulting in no recognition of compensation expense by Pentair. However, from time to time, we have elected to modify the terms of the original grant. Those modified grants have been accounted for as a new award and are measured using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, resulting in the inclusion of compensation expense in our consolidated statement of income. Restricted stock awards are recorded as compensation cost over the requisite vesting periods based on the market value on the date of grant. Unearned compensation cost on restricted stock awards is shown as a reduction to shareholders’ equity.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation. The estimated fair value of each Pentair option is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

The pro forma amounts shown above are not indicative of the pro forma effect in future years since the estimated fair value of options is amortized to expense over the vesting period, and the number of options granted varies from year to year.

 

The weighted-average fair value of options granted was $11.44 and $8.07 for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, respectively. We estimated the fair values using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, modified for dividends, using the following assumptions:

 

     July 2
2005
    July 3
2004
 

Expected stock price volatility

   34.5 %   39.0 %

Expected life

   3.6 yrs.     5.2 yrs.  

Risk-free interest rate

   3.75 %   3.85 %

Dividend yield

   1.2 %   1.4 %

These estimates require us to make assumptions based on historical results, observance of trends in our stock price, changes in option exercise behavior, future expectations, and other relevant factors. If other assumptions had been used, stock-based compensation expense, as calculated and recorded under SFAS No. 123, could have been impacted.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2005, we refined our estimates of the expected option life and expected stock price volatility following the recent increase in our stock price and increase in exercise activity. As a result of our analysis, we decreased our estimate of the expected life of new options granted to employees from approximately 5.0 years to 3.6 years. We based the expected life assumption on historical experience as well as the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. For purposes of determining expected volatility, we considered a rolling-average of historical volatility measured over a period approximately equal to the expected option term.

 

The risk-free rate for periods that coincide with the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

5. Acquisitions

 

On February 23, 2005, we acquired certain assets of Delta Environmental Products, Inc. and affiliates (collectively, “DEP”), a privately-held company, for $10.2 million, including a cash payment of $10.0 million, transaction costs of $0.1 million, and debt assumed of $0.1 million. The DEP product line addresses the water and wastewater markets and is part of our Water Group. Goodwill recorded as part of the initial purchase price allocation was $9.3 million, all of which is tax deductible. During the second quarter of 2005, we made purchase accounting adjustments of $2.3 million, primarily related to the intangible assets. We continue to evaluate the purchase price allocation for the DEP acquisition.

 

Effective July 31, 2004, we completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock of WICOR, Inc. (“WICOR”) from Wisconsin Energy Corporation (“WEC”) for $889.6 million, including a third quarter cash payment of $871.1 million, cash acquired of $15.5 million, transaction costs of $5.8 million, and debt assumed of $21.6 million. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we received a $14.0 million final purchase price adjustment, a $0.3 million decrease in cash acquired, and recorded an additional $5.1 million in transaction costs. In the first half of 2005, we recorded an additional $0.4 million in transaction costs.

Balance July 2, 2005

   $ 1,422,129     $ 192,119     $ 1,614,248  

 

The acquired goodwill in the Water segment is related to our acquisition of DEP during the first quarter of 2005.

 

Purchase accounting adjustments recorded during the first half of 2005 relate to the WICOR and DEP acquisitions. We continue to evaluate the purchase price allocation for the WICOR acquisition, including intangible assets, contingent liabilities, reserves for plant rationalizations, and property, plant and equipment. We expect to finalize this allocation as better information becomes available in the third quarter of 2005.

As of July 2, 2005 we had a multi-currency revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) of $800 million expiring on March 4, 2010. The interest rate on the loans under the $800 million Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 0.625%. Interest rates and fees on the Credit Facility vary based on our credit ratings.

 

On July 19, 2005, we amended our floating rate private placement note purchase agreement, decreasing the interest rate on the notes by .550% to LIBOR plus .600%. Additionally, the amendment extended the prepayment provisions of the note purchase agreement permitting prepayment on or after July 25, 2006.

 

We are authorized to sell short-term commercial paper notes to the extent availability exists under the Credit Facility. We use the Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support 100% of commercial paper outstanding. As of July 2, 2005, we had $172.5 million of commercial paper outstanding that matured within 55 days. All of the commercial paper was classified as long-term as we have the intent and the ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis under the Credit Facility.

 

We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of July 2, 2005.

 

In addition to the Credit Facility, we have $25 million of uncommitted credit facilities, under which we had no borrowings as of July 2, 2005.

 

Long-term debt outstanding at July 2, 2005, matures on a calendar year basis by contractual debt maturity as follows:

10. Gain on Sale of Investment

As part of our sale of Lincoln Industrial Corporation in 2001, we received 37,500 shares of 5% Series C Junior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock convertible into a 15 percent equity interest in the new organization – LN Holdings Corporation. During the second quarter of 2005, we sold our interest in the stock of LN Holdings Corporation for cash consideration of $23.6 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $5.2 million. The terms of the sale agreement establish two escrow accounts totaling $14 million to be used for payment of any potential adjustments to the purchase price, transaction expenses, and indemnification for certain losses such as environmental claims. After any such payments are made from the escrow accounts, any remaining escrow balances are to be distributed by April 2008 to the former shareholders in accordance with their ownership percentages. Any funds received from settlement of escrows in future periods will be accounted for as additional gain on the sale of this interest.

11. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.

 

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was 36.6% compared to 33.7% for the six months ended July 3, 2004. The year-to-date 2005 tax rate includes a second quarter charge to tax expense for an anticipated unfavorable settlement of $3.2 million related to a routine German tax examination for prior years. This charge is partially offset by a first quarter favorable settlement of an IRS examination for the periods 1998-2001 resulting in a release of tax contingency reserves in the amount of $1.3 million. We estimate our effective income tax rate for the remaining quarters of this year will be 35.5% resulting in a 2005 full year effective annual rate of 36.0%. This estimate includes our initial analysis of the anticipated impact of the American Jobs Creation Act. This impact may be adjusted as we refine our calculations and as additional guidance is received from the Treasury Department or Congress.

 

12. Benefit Plans

Components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 (inclusive of the periodic benefit costs associated with the WICOR acquisition) and July 3, 2004 were as follows:

Employer Contributions

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 that we expected to make contributions in the range of $5 million to $10 million to our pension plans in 2005. We believe the expected contribution range continues to be appropriate.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental and Product Liability Claims

There have been no further material developments regarding the above from that contained in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than those matters identified below.

 

Horizon litigation

Twenty-eight separate lawsuits involving 29 primary plaintiffs, a class action, and claims for indemnity by Celebrity Cruise Lines, Inc. (Celebrity) were brought in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Essef Corporation (Essef) and certain of its subsidiaries prior to our August 1999 acquisition of Essef.

 

The claims against Essef and its involved subsidiaries were based upon the allegation that Essef designed, manufactured, and marketed two sand swimming pool filters that were installed as a part of the spa system on the Horizon, and allegations that the spa and filters contained Legionnaire’s disease bacteria that infected certain passengers on a cruise in July 1994.

 

The individual and class claims by passengers were tried and resulted in an adverse jury verdict finding liability on the part of the Essef defendants (70%) and Celebrity and its sister company, Fantasia (together 30%).

 

After expiration of post-trial appeals, we paid all outstanding punitive damage awards of $7.0 million in the Horizon cases, plus interest of approximately $1.6 million in January 2004. We had reserved for the amount of punitive damages awarded at the time of the Essef acquisition. A reserve for the $1.6 million interest cost was recorded in 2003. All of the personal injury cases have now been resolved through either settlement or trial.

 

The only remaining unresolved claims in this case are those brought by Celebrity for damages resulting from the outbreak. Celebrity filed an amended complaint seeking attorney fees and costs for prior litigation as well as out-of-pocket losses, lost profits, and loss of business enterprise value. Discovery commenced late in 2004, and was completed in August 2005. Celebrity’s claims for damages exceed $185 million, which we believe are excessive and wildly speculative. Assuming matters of causation, standing, indemnity and proof are decided against Essef, its experts believe that damages should amount to no more than $16 to $25 million. Dispositive motions in this matter are due to be filed by the end of August 2005, with trial to be scheduled after resolution of these motions. We believe our reserves for liability, plus remaining insurance limits, should be adequate to cover any potential liability to Celebrity. The Company is vigorously defending against these claims.

 

Other

We are occasionally a party to other litigation arising in the normal course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities based on the expected eventual disposition of these matters. We believe the effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, if any, for the disposition of all currently pending matters will not be material.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements that we believe to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or similar words. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results. They can be affected by assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, we cannot guarantee any forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Investors should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

 

The following factors may impact the achievement of forward-looking statements:

 

    changes in industry conditions, such as:

 

    the strength of product demand;

 

    the intensity of competition, including foreign competitors;

 

    pricing pressures;

 

    market acceptance of new product introductions;

 

    the introduction of new products by competitors;

 

    our ability to maintain and expand relationships with large customers;

 

    our ability to source raw material commodities from our suppliers without interruption and at reasonable prices;

 

    our ability to source components from third parties, in particular foreign manufacturers, without interruption and at reasonable prices; and

 

    the financial condition of our customers.

 

    our ability to integrate the former WICOR, Inc. (“WICOR”) businesses successfully and to fully realize synergies on our anticipated timetable;

 

    changes in our business strategies;

 

    governmental and regulatory policies;

 

    general economic and political conditions, such as political instability, the rate of economic growth in our principal geographic or product markets, or fluctuations in exchange rates;

 

    changes in operating factors, such as continued improvement in manufacturing activities and the achievement of related efficiencies, cost reductions, and inventory risks due to shifts in market demand and costs associated with moving production overseas;

 

    unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation, intellectual property matters, product liability exposures, and environmental matters;

 

    our ability to continue to successfully generate savings from lean enterprise initiatives, which we call Pentair Integrated Management System (“PIMS”) and supply management practices;

 

    our ability to successfully identify, complete, and integrate future acquisitions;

 

    our ability to accurately evaluate the effects of contingent liabilities such as taxes, product liability, environmental, and other claims, including the amount of any potential damages arising out of the litigation with Celebrity;

 

    our ability to access capital markets and obtain anticipated financing under favorable terms.

 

The foregoing factors are not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that would impact our business. We assume no obligation, and disclaim any duty, to update the forward-looking statements in this report.

 

Overview

 

We are a focused diversified industrial manufacturing company comprised of two operating segments: Water and Enclosures. Our Water Group is a global leader in providing innovative products and systems used worldwide in the movement, treatment, storage and enjoyment of water. Our Enclosures Group is a leader in the global enclosures market, designing and manufacturing standard, modified and custom enclosures that protect sensitive electronics and electrical components. For fiscal year 2005, our Water Group and Enclosures Group are forecasted to generate approximately 73 percent and 27 percent of total revenues, respectively.

 

Our Water segment has progressively become a more significant part of our business portfolio with sales increasing from $100 million in 1995 to approximately $1.6 billion in 2004, or approximately $2.0 billion on a pro forma basis (as if our Water Group acquisitions had been completed at the beginning of 2004). The water industry is structurally attractive as a result of a growing demand for clean water and its large global market, of which we have identified a target industry segment totaling $50 billion. Our vision is to become a leading global provider of innovative products and systems used in the movement, treatment, storage, and enjoyment of water.

 

We continue to expect to achieve $30 million in synergies in the first full year of ownership with respect to the acquisition of the former WICOR businesses via key initiatives including PIMS, material cost savings and administrative cost savings. We also expect to achieve significant working capital reductions, net fixed asset reductions, and revenue synergies from cross-selling opportunities as a result of the acquisition. Integration of the former WICOR businesses proceeded as expected during the first half of 2005 with eleven facilities closed or consolidated to date, and another six closings or consolidations in progress.

Table of Contents

Our Enclosures segment operates in a large global market with significant headroom for growth in markets such as defense, security, medical, and networking. We believe we have the largest industrial and commercial distribution network in North America and highest brand recognition in the industry. From mid 2001 through mid 2003, the Enclosures segment experienced significantly lower sales volumes as a result of severely reduced capital spending in the industrial and commercial markets and over-capacity and weak demand in the datacom and telecom markets. In 2004 and the first half of 2005, sales volumes increased due to the addition of new distributors, new products, and higher sales in all targeted markets. In addition, through the success of our PIMS and supply management initiatives, we have increased Enclosures segment margins for fourteen consecutive quarters.

 

Key Trends and Uncertainties

The following trends and uncertainties affected our financial performance in the first half of 2005 and will likely impact our results in the future:

 

  We experience seasonal demand in a number of markets within our Water segment. End-user demand for pool/spa equipment follows warm weather trends and is at seasonal highs from March to July. The magnitude of the sales spike is somewhat mitigated through effective use of the distribution channel by employing some advance sales programs (generally including but not limited to, extended payment terms). Demand for residential water systems is also affected by weather patterns particularly related to droughts and heavy flooding.

 

  We expect our Water and Enclosures Groups to continue to benefit from our key initiatives, including PIMS and supply management.

 

  We are experiencing material cost inflation in a number of our businesses. We are striving for greater productivity improvements and implementing selective increases in selling prices to help mitigate cost increases in base materials such as steel, motors, resins, ocean freight and fuel, health care and insurance. In addition, the WICOR acquisition has increased our purchasing power, and we expect the consolidation of the Water Group’s spending on raw materials and services to continue to deliver cost savings, further cushioning the impact of material cost inflation.

 

  Free cash flow, which we define as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment, including both continuing and discontinued operations, exceeded $200 million for the third consecutive year in 2004 and is targeted at approximately $200 million in 2005. See our discussion of Other financial measures under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of this report.

 

  In the first half of 2005, the U.S. dollar was weaker against the Euro when compared to the same period in 2004. This resulted in year-over-year favorable foreign currency effects, which may not trend favorably in the future.

 

  The effective tax rate for the first half of 2005 was 36.6%. We estimate our effective income tax rate for the remaining quarters of this year to be 35.5% resulting in a 2005 full year effective tax rate of 36.0%. We are pursuing rate reduction opportunities, which could improve our effective tax rate.

 

  Our water group operating income margins in the first half of 2005 were lower by roughly 100 basis points compared to the prior year comparable period affected by the lower former WICOR margins versus Pentair Water margins. We anticipate our Water Group operating income margins in the third quarter of 2005 to cross over and be higher compared to the prior year comparable period. We continue to drive margins in the expanded Water Group, while capturing growth opportunities. We are driving margins in the expanded water group toward an annual goal of 15 percent.

 

Outlook

In 2005 and beyond, our operating objectives include the following:

 

  Continue to drive for operating excellence: lean enterprise initiatives (which we call PIMS), supply management practices, and cash flow;

 

  Complete the integration of the WICOR acquisition and realize identified synergistic opportunities;

 

  Continue proactive talent management process building competencies in international management and other key functional areas;

 

  Achieve organic sales growth (in excess of market growth), particularly in international markets; and

 

  Continue to make strategic acquisitions to grow and expand our existing platforms in our Water and Enclosures segments.

Consolidated net sales

The 48.7 percent and the 47.0 percent increase in consolidated net sales in the second quarter and the first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily driven by:

 

  the increase in sales volume driven by our July 31, 2004 acquisition of WICOR;

 

  organic sales growth of approximately 7 percent for the second quarter of 2005 and 6 percent for the first half of 2005 (removing the effects of acquisitions and excluding foreign currency exchange), net of the impacts of selective increases in selling prices in our Water and Enclosures segments, and a softening European economy; and

 

  favorable foreign currency effects as the weaker U.S. dollar increased the U.S. dollar value of foreign sales.

Water

The 65.8 percent and the 64.5 percent increase in Water segment net sales in the second quarter and first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily driven by:

 

  the increase in sales volume driven by our July 31, 2004 acquisition of WICOR;

 

  sales in filtration and pool products increased, along with strong sales in specialty pumps in our municipal, agricultural, commercial, and industrial markets;

 

  growth in new markets;

 

  selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases; and

 

  favorable foreign currency effects.

 

22


Table of Contents

These increases were partially offset by:

 

  the impacts of a softening European economy;

 

  unfavorable weather conditions impacting the professional well-drilling season, as well as the RV and Marine markets;

 

  the declines in water systems pump sales driven by a vendor decision to sell direct; and

 

  lower sales of retail filtration cartridges.

 

Enclosures

The 14.5 percent and 13.9 percent increase in Enclosures segment net sales in the second quarter and the first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily driven by:

 

  new product introductions and improved service and delivery resulting in increased sales volume broadly across all markets including industrial, datacom, telecom, and medical markets;

 

  selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases; and

 

  favorable foreign currency effects.

 

These increases were partially offset by:

 

  weaker markets in Europe and Japan.

The 0.7 and the 0.3 percentage point decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales in the second quarter and the first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily the result of:

 

  inflationary cost increases in our Water and Enclosures segments;

 

  lower initial margins associated with our July 31, 2004 acquisition of WICOR; and

 

  integration and start-up costs in new water facilities.

 

These decreases were partially offset by:

 

  selective increases in selling prices in our Water and Enclosures segments to mitigate inflationary cost increases;

 

  savings generated from our PIMS initiatives and supply management practices;

 

  cost leverage from our increase in sales volume; and

 

  a net synergy benefit from integration of the former WICOR businesses.

The 1.5 and 1.2 percentage point decrease in SG&A expense as a percent of sales in the second quarter and the first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily due to:

 

  the absence of expenses in the current year that we incurred in the first half of 2004 associated with outside support for integration planning and communications related to the WICOR acquisition, downsizing and other merger and acquisition activities;

 

23


Table of Contents

These decreases were partially offset by:

 

  higher selling expense in our Water segment to fund investments in future growth;

 

  an increase in amortization expense; and

 

  higher cost of doing business, including increased expenses associated with governance and certification requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley.

The 0.8 and 1.0 percentage point decrease in Water segment operating income as a percent of sales in the second quarter and the first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily the result of:

 

  lower initial margins associated with the former WICOR businesses acquired in July, 2004;

 

  inflationary cost increases, particularly as it related to the costs of motors and resins; and

 

  incremental amortization expense for acquired finite-lived intangibles.

 

These decreases were partially offset by:

 

  selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases;

 

  savings achieved through PIMS and supply management activities coupled with a net synergy benefit from factory capacity rationalization; and

 

  the absence of expenses in the current year that we incurred in the first half of 2004 associated with outside support for integration planning and communications related to the WICOR acquisition.

The 1.1 and 1.6 percentage point increase in Enclosures segment operating income as a percent of sales in the second quarter and the first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily the result of:

 

  leverage gained on volume expansion through market share growth;

 

  selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases; and

 

  savings realized from the continued success of PIMS and supply management activities.

 

These increases were partially offset by:

 

  material cost inflation, primarily steel.

The 56.0 and 51.7 percent increase in interest expense from continuing operations in the second quarter and the first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily the result of:

 

  a portion of interest expense in 2004 was allocated to discontinued operations for tools versus all the debt in 2005 being attributed to continuing operations; and

 

  higher interest rates in 2005.

The 1.9 and 0.2 percent increase in the tax rate in the second quarter and the first half of 2005 from 2004 was primarily the result of:

 

  anticipated unfavorable settlement of $3.2 million recorded in the second quarter for a routine tax exam for prior years in Germany; and

 

25


Table of Contents
  increased operating income combined with the relatively fixed nature of many of our tax savings programs, the anticipated mix of our 2005 U.S. and foreign earnings, and our July 31, 2004 acquisition of WICOR, which resulted in a higher effective tax rate.

 

This increase was partially offset by:

 

  a favorable settlement in the first quarter 2005 of an IRS exam for the periods 1998-2001 resulting in a release of tax contingency reserves in the amount of $1.3 million.

 

We estimate our effective income tax rate for the remaining quarters of this year will be 35.5% resulting in a 2005 full year effective annual rate of 36.0%. This estimate includes our initial analysis of the anticipated impact of the American Jobs Creation Act. This impact may be adjusted as we refine our calculations and as additional guidance is received from the Treasury Department or Congress.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, equity investments, acquisitions, debt repayments, and dividend payments are generally funded from cash generated from operations, availability under existing committed revolving credit facilities, and in certain instances, public and private debt and equity offerings.

 

We experience seasonal cash flows primarily due to seasonal demand in a number of markets within our Water segment. End-user demand for pool/spa equipment follows warm weather trends and is at seasonal highs from March to July. We mitigate the magnitude of the sales spike somewhat through effective use of the distribution channel by employing some advance sales programs (generally including but not limited to, extended payment terms). Demand for residential water systems is also affected by weather patterns particularly related to droughts and heavy flooding.

 

The following table presents selected working capital measurements calculated from our monthly operating results based on a 13-month moving average:

 

Days    July 2
2005
  

December 31

2004

   July 3

   53    52    52

Days inventory on hand

   68    62    55

Days in accounts payable

   56    57    55

 

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $46.7 million in the first half of 2005 compared with cash provided by operating activities of $108.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is due to working capital increases related to the rationalization of Water segment operations, various customer rebates and employee bonus plans. The increased days of sales in accounts receivable and days inventory on hand as of July 2, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 were driven by the new seasonality of our more water-focused business as well as the increased inventory levels attributable to the late start to the warm weather season and inventory redundancies associated with the ramp-up of new facilities and the wind-down of old facilities. The working capital ratios as of July 2 2005 versus the comparable prior year period have increased slightly, primarily as a result of the July 3, 2004 ratios being exclusive of the former WICOR businesses. In the future, we expect our working capital ratios to improve as we are able to capitalize on the anticipated success of our post-acquisition integration activities and PIMS initiatives.

 

Investing activities

Capital expenditures in the first half of 2005 were $39.1 million compared with $13.3 million in the prior year period. We currently anticipate capital expenditures for fiscal 2005 will be approximately $65 to $70 million, primarily for integration of the former WICOR businesses into existing or new facilities, selective increases in equipment capacity, new product development, and general maintenance capital.

 

Cash proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in our water segment of $11.6 million were received during the first half of 2005, primarily related to the sale of two California facilities.

 

On February 23, 2005, we acquired the assets of Delta Environmental Products, Inc. and affiliates (collectively, “DEP”), a privately held company, for $10.2 million, including a cash payment of $10.0 million, transaction costs of $0.1 million, plus debt assumed of $0.1 million. The DEP product line addresses the water and wastewater markets and is part of our Water Group.

 

In the first half of 2004, we paid acquisition fees and purchase price adjustments of $6.2 million related to the December 31, 2003 acquisition of Everpure, the remaining cash paid primarily related to the April 5, 2004 acquisition of the remaining stock of Pentair’s former Tools Group’s Asian joint venture.

Table of Contents

In April 2005, we sold our interest in the stock of LN Holdings Corporation for cash consideration of $23.6 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $5.2 million and an after tax gain of $3.3 million.

 

Financing activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $20.7 million in the first half of 2005 compared with $69.1 million in the prior year period. Financing activities included draw downs and repayments on our revolving credit facilities to fund our operations in the normal course of business and payments of dividends, reduced by cash received from stock option exercises.

 

On March 4, 2005, we amended and restated our multi-currency revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”), increasing the size of the facility from $500 million to $800 million with a term of five years. The interest rate on the loans under the $800 million Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 0.625%. Interest rates and fees on the Credit Facility vary based on our credit ratings.

 

On July 19, 2005, we amended our floating rate private placement note purchase agreement, decreasing the interest rate on the notes by .550% to LIBOR plus .600%. Additionally, the amendment extended the prepayment provisions of the note purchase agreement permitting prepayment on or after July 25, 2006.

 

We are authorized to sell short-term commercial paper notes to the extent availability exists under the Credit Facility. We use the Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support 100% of commercial paper outstanding. As of July 2, 2005, we had $172.5 million of commercial paper outstanding that matured within 55 days. All of the commercial paper was classified as long-term as we have the intent and the ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis under the Credit Facility.

 

We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of July 2, 2005.

 

In addition to the Credit Facility, we have $25 million of uncommitted credit facilities, under which we had no borrowings as of July 2, 2005.

 

Our current credit ratings are as follows:

 

Rating Agency   Long-Term Debt Rating   Current Rating Outlook

Standard & Poor’s

  BBB   Stable

Moody’s

  Baa3   Stable

 

As of July 2, 2005, our capital structure consisted of $734.1 million in total indebtedness and $1,509.9 million in shareholders’ equity. The ratio of debt-to-total capital at July 2, 2005 was 32.7 percent, compared with 33.7 percent at December 31, 2004 and 35.9 percent at July 3, 2004. Our targeted debt-to-total capital ratio is approximately 40 percent. We will exceed this target ratio from time to time as needed for operational purposes and/or acquisitions.

 

We expect to continue to have cash requirements to support working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest and service debt and to pay dividends to shareholders. In order to meet these cash requirements, we intend to use available cash and internally generated funds and to borrow under our committed and uncommitted credit facilities.

 

Dividends paid in the first half of 2005 were $26.6 million or $0.260 per common share compared with $21.0 million or $0.210 per common share in the prior year period. We anticipate the continuation of the practice of paying dividends on a quarterly basis.

 

There have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 other than the aforementioned increase in the size of our Credit Facility from $500 million to $800 million with a term of five years.

 

Pension

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 that we expected to make contributions in the range of $5 million to $10 million to our pension plans in 2005. We believe the expected contribution range continues to be appropriate.

 

Other financial measures

In addition to measuring our cash flow generation or usage based upon operating, investing, and financing classifications included in the consolidated statements of cash flows, we also measure our free cash flow and our conversion of net income. Free cash flow and conversion of net income are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to assess our cash flow performance and have a long-term goal to consistently generate free cash flow that equals or exceeds 100 percent conversion of net income. We believe free cash flow and conversion of net income are important measures of operating performance because it provides us and our investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to pay dividends and repay debt. In addition, free cash flow and conversion of net income are used as a criterion to measure and pay compensation-based incentives. Our measure of free cash flow and conversion of net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow and a calculation of the conversion of net income with cash flows from continuing and discontinued operating activities:

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended July 2, 2005 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarter ended July 2, 2005 in timely alerting them to material information relating to Pentair, Inc. (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

  (b) Changes in Internal Controls

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders of Pentair, Inc.

 

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Pentair, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 10, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

  Environmental and Product Liability Claims
  There have been no further material developments regarding the above from that contained in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than those matters identified below.

 

  Horizon litigation
  Twenty-eight separate lawsuits involving 29 primary plaintiffs, a class action, and claims for indemnity by Celebrity Cruise Lines, Inc. (Celebrity) were brought in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Essef Corporation (Essef) and certain of its subsidiaries prior to our August 1999 acquisition of Essef.

 

  The claims against Essef and its involved subsidiaries were based upon the allegation that Essef designed, manufactured, and marketed two sand swimming pool filters that were installed as a part of the spa system on the Horizon, and allegations that the spa and filters contained Legionnaire’s disease bacteria that infected certain passengers on a cruise in July 1994.

 

  The individual and class claims by passengers were tried and resulted in an adverse jury verdict finding liability on the part of the Essef defendants (70%) and Celebrity and its sister company, Fantasia (together 30%).

 

  After expiration of post-trial appeals, we paid all outstanding punitive damage awards of $7.0 million in the Horizon cases, plus interest of approximately $1.6 million in January 2004. We had reserved for the amount of punitive damages awarded at the time of the Essef acquisition. A reserve for the $1.6 million interest cost was recorded in 2003. All of the personal injury cases have now been resolved through either settlement or trial.

 

  The only remaining unresolved claims in this case are those brought by Celebrity for damages resulting from the outbreak. Celebrity filed an amended complaint seeking attorney fees and costs for prior litigation as well as out-of-pocket losses, lost profits, and loss of business enterprise value. Discovery commenced late in 2004, and was completed in August 2005. Celebrity’s claims for damages exceed $185 million, which we believe are excessive and wildly speculative. Assuming matters of causation, standing, indemnity and proof are decided against Essef, its experts believe that damages should amount to no more than $16 to $25 million. Dispositive motions in this matter are due to be filed by the end of August 2005, with trial to be scheduled after resolution of these motions. We believe our reserves for liability, plus remaining insurance limits, should be adequate to cover any potential liability to Celebrity. The Company is vigorously defending against these claims.

 

  Other
  We are occasionally a party to other litigation arising in the normal course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities based on the expected eventual disposition of these matters. We believe the effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, if any, for the disposition of all currently pending matters will not be material.
