1. | Background and Basis of Presentation |
|
Hillenbrand, Inc. (Hillenbrand or the Company) is the parent holding company of its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Batesville Services, Inc. (Batesville) and K-Tron International, Inc. (K-Tron). |
||
Through Batesville, we are the leader in the North American death care products industry where we
manufacture, distribute, and sell funeral service products to licensed funeral directors who
operate licensed funeral homes. Our Batesville-branded products consist primarily of burial caskets
but also include cremation caskets, containers and urns, selection room display fixturing for
funeral homes, and other personalization and memorialization products and services, including web
based applications and the creation and hosting of websites for licensed funeral homes. |
||
Through K-Tron, we design, produce, market, and service bulk solids material handling equipment and
systems for a wide variety of industrial markets, particularly in the plastics, food, chemical,
pharmaceutical, power generation, coal mining, pulp and paper, wood and forest products, and
biomass energy generation industries. |
||
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hillenbrand,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These unaudited financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim
financial statements and therefore do not include all information required in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). The unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements
as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Certain prior period balances have been
reclassified to conform to our current presentation. In the opinion of management, these financial
statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the
Companys consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of our operations and our
cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. |
||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates presented. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Examples of such estimates include, but are not limited to, the collectability of
our note receivable from Forethought Financial Group, Inc. (Forethought); the establishment of
reserves related to our customer rebates, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranties, early pay
discounts, inventories, income taxes, accrued litigation, and self-insurance reserves; the
estimation of progress towards performance criteria under our incentive compensation programs; and
the estimation of fair value associated with our auction rate securities (ARS). |
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are consistent with the
accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010. The following represent additions and changes to our significant accounting
policies as described in our previously filed Form 10-K. |
||
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards |
||
On December 31, 2010, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASBs) accounting
standard update 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the
Allowance for Credit Losses. The standard requires companies to provide additional disclosures
about the credit quality of their financing receivables and the credit reserves held against them.
The disclosure requirements of this standard are included in Note 5. |

3. | Business Acquisitions |
|
K-Tron Acquisition |
||
The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of
operations for the Company, including K-Tron, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, on a
pro forma basis, as though the companies were combined as of the beginning of the period presented.
The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be
indicative of the results of operations if the acquisition had actually taken place at the
beginning of the period presented and should not be considered representative of our future
consolidated results of operations. The pro forma financial information for the three months ended
December 31, 2009, includes adjustments for additional interest expense (assuming we would have
been able to borrow $375.0 at October 1, 2009) and additional depreciation and amortization expense
(associated with fair value adjustments to property and intangible assets), and excludes $2.8 of
business acquisition costs and the non-recurring effects of fair value adjustments to inventory and
backlog, all net of estimated income tax effects. See Note 17 for further information regarding
K-Trons financial contribution to our consolidated financial results. |

5. | Financing Receivables and Allowances for Credit Losses |
|
In accordance with accounting standard update 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of
Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, Hillenbrand has two types of financing
instruments that require quarterly disclosure: our Forethought note and our notes receivable from
customers. We have no significant changes to report to the disclosures regarding the Forethought
note contained in our previously filed Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010. |
7
As of December 31, 2010, we had $7.8 of notes receivable from customers representing long-term
payment plans that were negotiated to settle unpaid balances. These notes generally carry
repayment terms up to five years at a weighted average interest rate of 6.5%. The current portion
of these notes, $4.3, is included in trade receivables and the long-term portion, $3.5, is included
in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. We evaluate the
recoverability of notes receivable and record allowances thereon based upon historical experience
and individual customer collection experience. Of our $7.8 notes receivable, $7.1 was current and
$0.7 was over 31 days past due as of December 31, 2010. Accordingly, we established $0.4 of
reserves to address potential collectability as of December 31, 2010. Each quarter we perform a
detailed review of all notes upon which a reserve was established to determine whether any amounts
should be charged off. |

Borrowings under our financing agreements included: |

2010 | 2010 | |||||||
$400 revolving credit facility |
$ | 275.0 | $ | 255.0 | ||||

148.4 | 148.4 | ||||||
Total long-term debt |
$ | 423.4 | $ | 403.4 | ||||
$400 Revolving Credit Facility |
||
As of December 31, 2010, we (i) had $6.9 outstanding undrawn letters of credit under the facility,
(ii) were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement, and (iii) had $118.1
of remaining borrowing capacity available under the facility. Under our Distribution Agreement with
Hill-Rom, our ability to borrow against the facility for certain strategic transactions such as
acquisitions may be limited. The term of the revolving credit facility expires in March 2013.
During the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the applicable weighted average
interest rates were 0.7%. |
||
Our Swiss location maintains $19.2 local credit facilities secured by cash or real property. As of
December 31, 2010, there were no borrowings under these facilities and availability was reduced by
$4.1 for outstanding bank guarantees. We had additional outstanding letters of credit and bank
guarantees with other financial institutions totaling $3.6 and $0.3 of restricted cash at December
31, 2010. |
||
$150 Senior Unsecured Notes |
||
On July 9, 2010, we issued and sold $150.0 fixed-rate senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2020 (the
Notes). The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.5%, payable semi-annually in arrears
commencing on January 15, 2011. The Notes were issued at an original issue discount of $1.6, which
is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest
rate method, resulting in an annual interest rate of 5.65%. Deferred financing costs associated
with the Notes of $2.1 are being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the
term of the Notes. |

The net postretirement healthcare costs recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2010
and 2009 were $0.3 and $0.3. |
||
Defined Contribution Plans |
||
For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, expenses related to our defined contribution
plans were $1.6 and $1.2. |
9. | Income Taxes |
|
The effective tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were 35.9% and 33.9%.
The increase in the December 31, 2010 effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a favorable
adjustment of $0.6 recorded in the prior year as a result of periodic reconciliation of our income
tax accounts to filed income tax returns. |
||
The activity within our reserve for unrecognized tax benefits was: |
Balance at September 30, 2010 |
$ | 7.2 | ||
Additions for current-year tax positions |

$ | 7.3 | ||
Other amounts accrued at December 31, 2010 for interest and penalties |
$ | 1.5 | ||
10. | Income per Common Share |
|
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, potential dilutive effects of our time-based restricted stock units
and stock option awards, representing approximately 2.2 million and 1.7 million common shares, were
excluded from income per common share as their effects were anti-dilutive. The dilutive effects of
our performance-based stock awards will be included in diluted net income per share when the
related performance criteria are met. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, potential dilutive effects,
representing approximately 1.6 million and 1.1 million common shares, were excluded from the
computation of income per common share as the related performance criteria was not met, although we
expect to meet various levels of criteria in the future. There was no significant difference in
basic and diluted net income per share and average common shares outstanding as a result of
dilutive equity awards for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. |
9
11. | Shareholders Equity |
|
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we paid $11.7 of cash dividends and issued 0.3
million shares of our common stock pursuant to our stock incentive plans. |

weighted average grant date fair value of $21.51 and $19.50 for the three month period ended
December 31, 2010. |

|
Antitrust Litigation |
||
In 2005 the Funeral Consumers Alliance, Inc. (FCA) and a number of individual consumer casket
purchasers filed a purported class action antitrust lawsuit on behalf of certain consumer
purchasers of Batesville® caskets against the Company and our former parent company,
Hillenbrand Industries, Inc., now Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (Hill-Rom), and three national funeral
home businesses (the FCA Action). A similar purported antitrust class action lawsuit was later
filed by Pioneer Valley Casket Co. and several so-called independent casket distributors on
behalf of casket sellers who were unaffiliated with any licensed funeral home (the Pioneer Valley
Action). Class certification hearings in the FCA Action and the Pioneer Valley Action were held
before a Magistrate Judge in early December 2006. On November 24, 2008, the Magistrate Judge
recommended that the plaintiffs motions for class certification in both cases be denied. On March
26, 2009, the District Judge adopted the memoranda and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge and
denied class certification in both cases. On April 9, 2009, the plaintiffs in the FCA case filed a
petition with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit for leave to file an appeal
of the Courts order denying class certification. On June 19, 2009, a three-judge panel of the
Fifth Circuit denied the FCA plaintiffs petition. On July 9, 2009, the FCA plaintiffs filed a
request for reconsideration of the denial of their petition. On July 29, 2009, a three-judge panel
of the Fifth Circuit denied the FCA plaintiffs motion for reconsideration and their alternative
motion for leave to file a petition for rehearing en banc (by all the judges sitting on the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals). |
||
The Pioneer Valley plaintiffs did not appeal the District Courts order denying class certification
and, on April 29, 2009, pursuant to a stipulation among the parties, the District Court dismissed
the Pioneer Valley Action with prejudice (i.e., Pioneer Valley cannot appeal or otherwise
reinstitute the case). Neither the Company nor Hill-Rom provided any payment or consideration for
the plaintiffs to dismiss this case, other than agreeing to bear their own costs rather than
pursuing plaintiffs for costs. |
||
Plaintiffs in the FCA Action have generally sought monetary damages on behalf of a class, trebling
of any such damages that may be awarded, recovery of attorneys fees and costs, and injunctive
relief. The plaintiffs in the FCA Action filed a report indicating that they were seeking damages
ranging from approximately $947.0 million to approximately $1.46 billion before trebling on behalf
of the purported class of consumers they seek to represent, based on approximately one million
casket purchases by the purported class members. |
||
Because Batesville continues to adhere to its long-standing policy of selling Batesville caskets
only to licensed funeral directors operating licensed funeral homes, a policy that it continues to
believe is appropriate and lawful, if the case goes to trial, the plaintiffs are likely to claim
additional alleged damages for periods between their reports and the time of trial. At this point,
it is not possible to estimate the amount of any additional alleged damage claims they may make.
The defendants are vigorously contesting both liability and the plaintiffs damages theories. |
11
Despite the ruling denying class certification, the FCA plaintiffs continued to pursue their
individual injunctive and damages claims. Their individual damages claims are limited to the
alleged overcharges on the plaintiffs individual casket purchases (the complaint currently alleges
a total of eight casket purchases by the individual plaintiffs), which would be trebled, plus
reasonable attorneys fees and costs. |
In June 2010, co-defendant Stewart Enterprises, Inc. announced a settlement with the plaintiffs. On
July 16, 2010, the District Court granted the remaining defendants motion for leave to file a
motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On August 2, 2010, the District Court
heard argument on the motion and ordered full dismissal of the lawsuit on September 24, 2010,
concluding that plaintiffs shall take nothing by their suit. In light of this decision,
defendants filed a motion requesting that the Court order plaintiffs to pay costs incurred by
Batesville and SCI in the approximate amount of $0.7 million. The Court denied this motion on
October 22, 2010. |
||
Plaintiffs had 30 days to declare their intent to appeal the dismissal of their lawsuit, and they
did so by way of a Notice of Appeal filed on October 19, 2010. Plaintiffs Notice indicates that
they intend to appeal both the Courts final judgment of dismissal entered on September 24, 2010
and the Courts order denying class certification entered on March 26, 2009. The appeal is to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. |
||
Plaintiffs recently requested an enlargement of time to file their brief appealing the denial of
the two District Court orders. The request was granted by the Court of Appeals on January 3, 2011;
therefore, plaintiffs brief must now be filed by February 23, 2011. Defendants brief will be due
30 days after receiving plaintiffs brief, unless an enlargement of time is requested and granted.
Plaintiffs will then have an opportunity to file a reply brief. Once all briefs are submitted, the
Court of Appeals may hear oral argument by the parties attorneys and will then issue its ruling as
to whether or not the District Courts decisions should be reversed or affirmed. It should be
noted, however, that the above appellate schedule is only approximate and is subject to change
dependent upon a number of factors, including the granting of any extensions of time and the
relative congestion of the docket of the Court of Appeals. |
||
If plaintiffs succeed in overturning the judgment, reversing the District Court order denying class
certification, and a class is subsequently certified in the FCA Action filed against Hill-Rom and
Batesville, and if the plaintiffs prevail at a trial of the class action, the damages awarded to
the plaintiffs, which would be trebled as a matter of law, could have a significant material
adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and/or liquidity. In antitrust
actions such as the FCA Action, the plaintiffs may elect to enforce any judgment against any or all
of the co-defendants, who have no statutory contribution rights against each other. We and Hill-Rom
have entered into a judgment sharing agreement that apportions the costs and any potential
liabilities associated with this litigation between us and Hill-Rom. See Note 6 to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. |
||
As of December 2010, we had incurred approximately $27.8 million in cumulative legal and related
costs associated with the FCA matter since its inception. |
||
General |
||
We are involved on an ongoing basis in claims and lawsuits relating to our operations, including
environmental, antitrust, patent infringement, business practices, commercial transactions, and
other matters. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty. An
estimated loss from these contingencies is recognized when we believe it is probable that a loss
has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, it is difficult
to measure the actual loss that might be incurred related to litigation. The ultimate outcome of
these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flow. |
||
Legal fees associated with claims and lawsuits are generally expensed as incurred. Upon recognition
of an estimated loss resulting from a settlement, an estimate of legal fees to complete the
settlement is also included in the amount of the loss recognized. |
12
We are also involved in other possible claims, including product and general liability, workers
compensation, auto liability, and employment-related matters. Claims other than employment and
related matters have deductibles and self-insured retentions ranging from $0.5 million to $1.0
million per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the
type of coverage and policy period. Outside insurance companies and third-party claims
administrators establish individual claim reserves, and an independent outside actuary provides
estimates of ultimate projected losses, including incurred but not reported claims, which are used
to establish reserves for losses. Claim reserves for employment-related matters are established
based upon advice from internal and external counsel and historical settlement information for
claims and related fees, when such amounts are considered probable of payment. |
The recorded amounts represent our best estimate of the costs we will incur in relation to such
exposures, but it is virtually certain that actual costs will differ from those estimates. |
16. | Fair Value Measurements |
|
Our fair value measurements for our financial assets and liabilities were classified into one of
three categories as defined in Note 14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument
for which it is practicable to estimate that value are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in the fair value of the Forethought
Note at December 31, 2010 was attributable to a 1.6% increase in the required yield to maturity
(discount rate) observed in the marketplace on comparable debt instruments. Assets excluded from
the tables above are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010. |

|
In January 2011, we sold our remaining ARS for proceeds of $12.3, resulting in a gain of $0.5. We
have now fully liquidated the original $56.9 portfolio of ARS transferred to us on March 31, 2008,
in connection with our separation from Hill-Rom. We recovered approximately 95.5% of the
historical cost of these securities. |

| Our net revenues were positively impacted by the K-Tron acquisition in April 2010,
providing $51.1 of additional net revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2010,
compared to the same period in the prior year. Batesvilles revenues were relatively flat,
decreasing $1.6 or 1% in the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to the same period
in the prior year. |
| Gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2010, declined by 140 basis
points compared to the same period in the prior year, largely driven by rising commodity costs
at Batesville, principally steel and fuel. Batesvilles gross profit margin was 42.8% and
44.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. K-Trons gross profit margin was
44.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2010. |
| Operating expenses increased $18.2 in the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to
the same period in the prior year. |
| The addition of K-Tron into our results added $15.9 of operating expenses,
including $2.7 relating to incremental amortization of the acquired intangible assets. |
||
| An increase of $3.5 in operating expenses was due to sales tax recoveries for
Batesville. These recoveries relate to overpayments in previous years and are not a
normal part of ongoing operations. Additional recoveries are not expected to be
significant. We recognized a benefit of $0.6 in the three months ended December 31,
2010, compared to $4.1 in the same period in the prior year. |
||
| We incurred $0.3 of business acquisitions costs in the three months ended
December 31, 2010, compared to $2.8 in the same period of the prior year. |
Absent sales tax recoveries, operating expenses remained relatively flat for Batesville for the
three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding
incremental amortization expense, operating expenses for K-Tron were relatively flat compared to
the same period a year ago, yielding an improved operating expense to sales ratio given the
revenue growth. Due to the technical nature of its products and related customer support
requirements, K-Trons business model has a higher ratio of operating expenses to sales compared
to Batesville. This results in a higher consolidated operating expense to sales ratio for
Hillenbrand post-acquisition. |
