NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Consolidation and Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Actuant Corporation (Actuant, or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of August 31, 2011 was derived from the Companys audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. For additional information, including the Companys significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Companys fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial results have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2012.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated the disclosure requirements for comprehensive income. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. The amended guidance, which must be applied retroactively, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted.
In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance on the testing of goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted.
Note 2. Acquisitions
The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that are a strategic fit with the Companys existing businesses or expand the Companys portfolio into new and attractive end markets. The Company completed two business acquisitions during fiscal 2011. These acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements because the purchase prices reflect the future earnings and cash flow potential of the acquired companies, as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations.
On June 2, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of the stock of Weasler Engineering, Inc. (Weasler) for $153.2 million of cash. Weasler, which is headquartered in Wisconsin, is a leading global designer and manufacturer of highly engineered drive train components and systems for agriculture, lawn & turf and industrial equipment. Weasler also supplies a variety of torque limiters, high-end gear boxes, clutches and torsional dampers which expands the product offerings of the Engineered Solutions segment.
On December 10, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the stock of Mastervolt International Holding B.V. (Mastervolt) for $158.2 million of cash. Mastervolt, which is headquartered in The Netherlands, is a designer, developer and global supplier of highly innovative, branded power electronics, primarily for the solar and marine markets. Mastervolt expands the Electrical segments geographic presence and product offerings to include additional technologies associated with the efficient conversion, control, storage and conditioning of electrical power.
The purchase price allocations for fiscal 2011 acquisitions resulted in the recognition of $154.7 million of goodwill (which is not deductible for tax purposes) and $157.5 million of intangible assets, including $81.5 million of customer relationships, $69.9 million of tradenames, $5.5 million of patents and technologies and $0.6 million of non-compete agreements.
7
The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains this information during due diligence and through other sources. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including through asset appraisals and learning more about the newly acquired business, the Company will refine its estimates of fair value. During the three months ended November 30, 2011 goodwill was reduced by $1.2 million, the net result of purchase accounting adjustments to the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including a $5.7 million reduction to Mastervolts initial estimated warranty reserve.
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, give effect to these acquisitions as though the transactions and related financing activities had occurred on September 1, 2010 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Transaction costs related to various business acquisition activities were $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Note 3. Discontinued Operations
In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company completed the sale of the European Electrical business for total cash proceeds of $3.5 million, net of transaction costs. As a result of the sale transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss on disposal of $15.8 million.

Note 4. Restructuring
In fiscal 2009, in response to the dramatic downturn in the worldwide economy, the Company committed to various restructuring initiatives including workforce reductions, plant consolidations, the transfer of production and product sourcing to lower cost plants or regions and the centralization of certain selling and administrative functions. These actions were substantially completed by August 31, 2010, with limited restructuring activity in subsequent periods. Ongoing restructuring costs were $0.5 million for both the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010.
The restructuring reserve at November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011 was $3.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The remaining restructuring related severance will be paid during the next twelve months, while facility consolidation costs (primarily reserves for future lease payments for vacated facilities) will be paid over the underlying lease terms.

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets listed above was $7.2 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company estimates that amortization expense will approximate $21.3 million for the remainder of fiscal 2012. Amortization expense for future years is estimated to be as follows: $26.9 million in fiscal 2013, $25.7 million in 2014, $25.5 million in fiscal 2015, $25.4 million in fiscal 2016 and $174.7 million thereafter. These future amortization expense amounts represent estimates, which may change based on future acquisitions or changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Note 6. Product Warranty Costs
The Company generally offers its customers a warranty on products sold, although warranty periods vary by product type and application. The acquisition of Mastervolt during fiscal 2011 has increased the required warranty reserve, as this business has a longer base warranty period. The reserve for future warranty claims is based on historical claim rates and current warranty cost experience. The following is a rollforward of the accrued product warranty reserve (in thousands):

On February 23, 2011, the Company expanded and extended its Senior Credit Facility, extending its maturity to February 23, 2016 and increasing total capacity from $400 million to $700 million. The amended Senior Credit Facility provides a $600 million revolving credit facility, a $100 million term loan and a $300 million expansion option, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings are subject to a pricing grid, which can result in increases or decreases to the borrowing spread, depending on the Companys leverage ratio, ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from 0.25% to 1.25% in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. At November 30, 2011, the borrowing spread on LIBOR based borrowings was 1.75% (aggregating to 2.13% and 2.01% on outstanding term loan and revolver borrowings, respectively). In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused credit line under the revolver ranging from 0.2% to 0.4% per annum. At November 30, 2011 the available and unused credit line under the revolver was $535.9 million. The $100 million term loan will be repaid in quarterly installments of $1.25 million starting on March 31, 2012, increasing to $2.5 million per quarter beginning on March 31, 2013, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The Senior Credit Facility, which is secured by substantially all of the Companys domestic personal property assets, also contains customary limits and restrictions concerning investments, sales of assets, liens on assets, dividends and other payments. The two financial covenants included in the Senior Credit Facility agreement are a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75:1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at November 30, 2011.
On June 12, 2007, the Company issued $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes (the Senior Notes) at an approximate $1.0 million discount, generating net proceeds of $249.0 million. The Senior Notes were issued at a price of 99.607% to yield 6.93%, and require no principal installments prior to their June 15, 2017 maturity. The approximate $1.0 million initial issuance discount is being amortized through interest expense over the 10 year life of the Senior Notes. Semiannual interest payments on the Senior Notes are due in December and June of each year.
In November 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million of Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due November 15, 2023 (the 2% Convertible Notes). Since the issuance date, the Company has repurchased (for cash) $32.2 million of 2% Convertible Notes at an average price of 99.3% of par value. $0.2 million of 2% Convertible Notes were converted into shares of the Companys Class A common stock in the quarter ending November 30, 2011. The remaining $117.6 million of 2% Convertible Notes, are convertible into 5,956,619 shares of Companys Class A common stock at a conversion rate of 50.6554 shares per $1,000 of principal amount, which equates to a conversion price of approximately $19.74 per share. The 2% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.0% annually which is payable on November 15 and May 15 of each year. Beginning with the six-month interest period commencing May 16, 2011, holders also received contingent interest as the trading price of the 2% Convertible Notes exceeded 120% of their underlying principal amount over a specified trading period, which effectively increased the interest rate from 2.0% to 2.7% for the six month period through November 15, 2011. Contingent interest is re-evaluated every six months immediately proceeding each semi-annual interest period. Based on the trading price of the bonds, no contingent interest is due to bondholders for the six month period beginning on November 16, 2011. Since November 2010, the Company has had the ability to redeem all or part of the 2% Convertible Notes for cash at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. In addition, holders of the 2% Convertible Notes have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2% Convertible Notes for cash on November 15, 2013 and November 15, 2018, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. Holders may also convert their 2% Convertible Notes into shares of the Companys Class A common stock prior to the scheduled maturity date if certain conditions are met.
10
In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts that have a total notional value of $100.0 million and have maturity dates of March 23, 2016. The interest rate swap contracts pay the Company variable interest at the three month LIBOR rate, and the Company pays the counterparties a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.06%. These interest rate swap contracts were entered into to synthetically convert $100.0 million of the Senior Credit Facility variable rate borrowings into fixed rate debt. Based on the terms of the contracts and underlying debt, the interest rate swap contracts were determined to be effective, and thus qualify as cash flow hedges. As such, any changes in the fair value of these interest rate swap contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these interest rate swap contracts was a liability of $4.3 million and $4.6 million at November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011, respectively.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurement
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include managements own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are recorded at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value of financial assets and liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of the Companys accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable rate long-term debt approximated book value as of November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011 due to their short-term nature and the fact that the applicable interest rates approximated market rates of interest. The fair value of the Companys outstanding $117.6 million 2% Convertible Notes at November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011, was $141.4 million and $127.9 million, respectively. The fair value of the Companys outstanding $250.0 million of Senior Notes at November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011 was $255.0 million and $252.5 million, respectively. The fair value of the 2% Convertible Notes and Senior Notes were based on quoted market prices.

At November 30, 2011 and 2010, outstanding share based awards to acquire 3,856,000 and 3,200,000 shares of common stock were not included in the Companys computation of earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 10. Income Taxes
The Companys income tax expense is impacted by a number of factors, including the amount of taxable earnings derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that are higher or lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, permanent items, state tax rates and our ability to utilize various tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards. The Company adjusts the quarterly provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate and facts and circumstances known at each interim reporting period.
The effective income tax rate was 23.1% and 20.6% for the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2011 is lower than the Federal statutory rate due to benefits from foreign tax credits, taxable earnings in foreign jurisdictions (with statutory tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate) and the utilization of net operating losses.
The gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, increased from $26.2 million at August 31, 2011 to $27.2 million at November 30, 2011. Substantially all of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce the effective income tax rate. In addition, as of November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011, the Company had liabilities totaling $5.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for the payment of interest and penalties related to its unrecognized tax benefits.
Note 11. Other Comprehensive Income

In addition to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the comparability of segment and product line information is impacted by acquisitions. Corporate assets, which are not allocated, principally represent capitalized debt issuance costs, deferred income taxes and the fair value of derivative instruments.
Note 13. Contingencies and Litigation
The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $8.7 million and $9.5 million at November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011, respectively, the majority of which secure self-insured workers compensation liabilities.
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of its business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, environmental, labor, patent claims and divestiture disputes. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred as of the balance sheet date, can be reasonably estimated and is not covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company, in the normal course of business, enters into certain real estate and equipment leases or guarantees such leases on behalf of its subsidiaries. In conjunction with the spin-off of a former subsidiary in fiscal 2000, the Company assigned its rights in the leases used by the former subsidiary, but was not released as a responsible party from all such leases by the lessors. All of these businesses were subsequently sold. The Company remains contingently liable for those leases if any of these businesses are unable to fulfill their obligations thereunder. The discounted present value of future minimum lease payments for these leases was $4.0 million at November 30, 2011.
13
The Company has facilities in numerous geographic locations that are subject to a range of environmental laws and regulations. Environmental expenditures over the past three years have not been material. Management believes that such costs will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 14. Guarantor Subsidiaries
On June 12, 2007, Actuant Corporation (the Parent) issued $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes. All of the Companys material domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (the Guarantors) fully and unconditionally guarantee (except for certain customary limitations) the 6.875% Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the Parent. The following tables present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Actuant Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Guarantor and non-Guarantor entities, and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis.
Certain assets, liabilities and expenses have not been allocated to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors and therefore are included in the Parent column in the accompanying consolidating financial statements. These items are of a corporate or consolidated nature and include, but are not limited to, tax provisions and related assets and liabilities, certain employee benefit obligations, prepaid and accrued insurance and corporate indebtedness. Intercompany activity in the consolidating financial statements primarily includes loan activity, purchases and sales of goods or services and dividends. Intercompany balances also reflect certain non-cash transactions including transfers of assets and liabilities between the Parent, Guarantor and non-Guarantor, allocation of non-cash expenses from the Parent to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors, the impact of foreign currency rate changes and non-cash intercompany dividends.

Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Actuant Corporation, headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, is a Wisconsin corporation incorporated in 1910. We are a global diversified company that designs, manufactures and distributes a broad range of industrial products and systems to various end markets. We are organized into four operating and reportable segments: Industrial, Energy, Electrical and Engineered Solutions.
Our long-term goal is to grow annual diluted earnings per share (EPS), excluding unusual or non-recurring items, faster than most multi-industry peers. We intend to leverage our leading market positions to generate annual internal sales growth that exceeds the annual growth rates of the gross domestic product in the geographic regions in which we operate. In addition to internal sales growth, we are focused on acquiring complementary businesses. Following an acquisition, we seek to drive cost reductions, develop additional cross-selling opportunities and deepen customer relationships. We also focus on profit margin expansion and cash flow generation to achieve our financial and EPS growth goals. Our LEAD (Lean Enterprise Across Disciplines) process utilizes various continuous improvement techniques to drive out costs and improve efficiencies across all locations and functions worldwide, thereby expanding profit margins. Strong cash flow generation is achieved by maximizing returns on net assets and minimizing primary working capital needs. Our LEAD efforts also support our Growth + Innovation initiative, a process focused on improving core sales growth. The cash flow that results from efficient asset management and improved profitability is used to reduce debt and fund additional acquisitions and internal growth opportunities.
The comparability of the operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2011 to the prior year period has been impacted by acquisitions, changes in foreign currency translation rates and the economic conditions that exist in the end markets we serve. Listed below are the significant acquisitions completed since September 1, 2010.
Business |
Segment |
Acquisition Date | ||
Weasler Engineering, Inc. | Engineered Solutions | June 2011 | ||
Mastervolt Intl. Holding B.V. | Electrical | December 2010 |
In addition to acquisitions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates also influence our financial results as approximately one-half of our sales are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The year-over-year weakening of the U.S. dollar during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 has favorably impacted our operating results due to the translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated results.
Our businesses provide a vast array of products and services across multiple customers, end markets and geographies which results in significant diversification. Since the global recession in 2009 and 2010, the majority of our end markets have improved, the result of economic expansion, increased worldwide demand for energy, elevated industrial manufacturing activities and increased production of vehicles for the heavy-duty truck, construction, military and agricultural markets.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, both the Industrial and Energy segments generated double digit core sales growth as certain end markets (mining, industrial, infrastructure, oil & gas and power generation) continued to show strength. This improved end market demand, coupled with new product introductions and emerging market opportunities is expected to continue to drive core sales growth in these two segments during the remainder of the fiscal year. The acquisitions of Mastervolt and Weasler (which were completed in the prior year) are expected to provide additional growth opportunities and diversify the product offerings of both the Electrical and Engineered Solutions segments. While end market demand in our Electrical segment has not fully recovered from the depressed levels during the global economic recession, the segment generated positive core sales growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 the result of price increases and slightly improved demand for electrical products in the utility and retail DIY channels. Finally, we expect core sales declines in the Engineered Solutions segment during the balance of the fiscal year, as a result of tougher prior year comparables and weaker European auto and truck demand, as OEMs reduce production schedules.
Our long-term growth will depend not only on changes in end markets and the overall economic environment, but also on our ability to identify, consummate and integrate strategic acquisitions, develop innovative new products, expand our business activity geographically (developing countries) and continuously improve operational excellence. We remain focused on maintaining our financial strength by adjusting our cost structure to reflect any reduction in market demand and by proactively managing working capital and cash flow generation.

Fiscal 2012 first quarter consolidated net sales increased 23% to $393 million from $318 million in the comparable prior year period. Excluding the $47 million year-over-year increase in sales from acquisitions and the $3 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, fiscal 2012 first quarter consolidated core sales increased 7% compared to the prior year. This core sales growth was driven by broad based strength in industrial markets, increased activity in the later cycle Energy segment, certain pricing actions and the benefit of developing new products and expanding our focus in attractive vertical markets. Operating profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $57 million, compared to $42 million in the prior year period. This year-over-year improvement was mainly driven by increased sales and profit margin expansion. The changes in sales and operating profit at the segment level are discussed in further detail below.

Segment Results (in millions)
Industrial Segment
The Industrial segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools to the maintenance, industrial, infrastructure and production automation markets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the segment delivered double digit year-over-year core sales growth due to robust demand across nearly all geographic regions. This increased sales volume and favorable product mix drove year-over year improvement in operating profit. The Industrial segment continues to focus on operational excellence, with specific focus on sourcing and supply chain management, the commercialization of new products and expansion of its business in fast growing regions and vertical markets. The following table sets forth the results of operations for the Industrial segment (in millions):

Fiscal 2012 first quarter sales increased $13 million (15%) to $100 million compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the weakening U.S. dollar (which favorably impacted sales comparisons by $1 million), core sales growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was 13%. The core sales growth during the quarter was primarily due to increased global demand, driven by improved end-market conditions, penetration into emerging markets and new product launches. These increased sales volumes and favorable product mix resulted in operating profit margin expansion during the quarter. Industrial segment operating profit increased by $8 million (38%) to $28 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011.
Energy Segment
The Energy segment provides joint integrity products and services, as well as umbilical, rope and cable solutions to the global oil & gas, power generation and energy markets. Being a later cycle business, our Energy segment was the last of our four segments to recover from the global recession. Continued double digit core sales growth during the quarter reflected increased global demand, as customers and asset owners invest in capital projects or complete previously deferred maintenance activities. As a result, we are seeing broad-based strength across this segment. The following table sets forth the results of operations for the Energy segment (in millions):

Energy segment net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2011 increased by $9 million (14%) to $80 million compared to the prior year period. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency rate changes ($1 million), core sales grew 12% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the result of higher activity levels across nearly all of the segments primary markets, including capital project activity in the oil & gas market, maintenance related spending and strong sales to the power generation (nuclear) market. Energy segment operating profit increased by $1 million (8%) to $13 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Despite continued productivity improvements and increased operating leverage (driven by the higher sales volumes), operating profit margins declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as a result of unfavorable product mix and additional costs associated with growth investments.
Electrical Segment
The Electrical segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of a broad range of electrical products to the retail DIY, wholesale, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), solar, utility, marine and harsh environment markets. Despite continued challenging macroeconomic conditions in several of its served markets, the segment returned to positive core sales growth during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Future results of the Electrical segment will continue to be impacted by fluctuations in commodity costs, changes in European solar feed-in tariffs and end market demand in North America. The following table sets forth the results of operations for the Electrical segment (in millions):
Three Months Ended November 30, | ||||||||

Compared to the prior year, fiscal 2012 first quarter Electrical segment net sales increased $28 million (50%) to $83 million. Excluding the $23 million of sales from the Mastervolt acquisition and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, core sales increased 7% for the three months ended November 30, 2011. This core sales growth was the result of higher sales volumes in the retail, industrial and utility markets as well as price increases. Electrical segment operating profit for the three months ended November 30, 2011 was $5 million. First quarter 2012 operating profit margins declined slightly from the comparable prior year period as a result of unfavorable acquisition mix, higher incentive compensation costs and $1 million of restructuring costs to further consolidate transformer manufacturing operations.
Engineered Solutions Segment
The Engineered Solutions segment provides highly engineered position and motion control systems to OEMs in various vehicle markets, as well as a variety of other industrial products. As expected, year-over-year core sales growth was essentially flat for the quarter, reflecting tougher prior year comparables and a decline in convertible top actuation system sales, the result of anniversarying prior year new vehicle launches. During the remainder of fiscal 2012, this segment will focus on completing the integration of the Weasler business (which will expand product offerings in the North American and European agricultural markets and provide increased aftermarket sales opportunities) and in adjusting its cost structure to be responsive to changes in end market demand. The following table sets forth the results of operations for the Engineered Solutions segment (in millions):

Net sales |
$ | 129 | $ | 105 | ||||

Net sales in the Engineered Solutions segment increased by $24 million (23%), from $105 million for the three months ended November 30, 2010 to $129 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011. Excluding the impact of foreign currency rates (which favorably impacted first quarter fiscal 2012 sales by $1 million) and the $24 million of sales from the recently acquired Weasler, core sales were unchanged. Demand and the related sales for products in the agriculture, construction equipment and North American heavy duty-truck markets remained strong while the RV and automotive end markets continued to be challenging as OEM build schedules were reduced. Engineered Solutions segment operating profit was $19 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011. Operating profit margin expansion was the result of continued productivity improvements, favorable acquisition mix and reduced incentive compensation costs.
22
General Corporate
General corporate expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2011 were $8 million, in line with the comparable prior year period. Additional investments in Growth + Innovation initiatives were offset by lower transaction costs for acquisitions and reduced incentive compensation costs.
Financing Costs, net
All debt is considered to be for general corporate purposes and therefore financing costs have not been allocated to our segments. Financing costs, net were $8 million for both the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010.
Income Taxes Expense
The effective income tax rate was 23.1% and 20.6% for the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2011 is lower than the Federal statutory rate due to benefits from foreign tax credits, taxable earnings in foreign jurisdictions (with statutory tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate) and the utilization of net operating losses.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):

Cash flows from operating activities during the three months ended November 30, 2011 were $20 million, the result of net earnings, offset by the payment of $28 million of fiscal 2011 incentive compensation costs and increased accounts receivable and inventory levels. These operating cash flows and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility funded the repurchase of approximately 1 million shares of the Companys common stock ($20 million) under the recently announced stock buyback program. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment (which included the sale-leaseback of certain equipment) more than offset the $6 million of capital expenditures during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Comparable prior year first quarter cash provided by operations was $6 million (net earnings offset by the payment of $22 million of fiscal 2010 employee incentive compensation payments and increased working capital requirements). Operating cash flows and proceeds from stock option exercises funded investing activities and the payment of the annual dividend.
Primary Working Capital Management
We use primary working capital as a percentage of sales (PWC %) as a key indicator of working capital management. We define this metric as the sum of net accounts receivable and net inventory less accounts payable, divided by the past three months sales annualized. The following table shows the components of the metric at November 30 (in millions):

Our net primary working capital percentage increased modestly year-over-year from 17% to 18%, primarily as a result of the fiscal 2011 acquisitions and a conscious effort to increase inventory levels in certain businesses to meet growing customer demand.
Liquidity
Our Senior Credit Facility, which was expanded and extended during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, includes a $600 million revolving credit facility, a $100 million term loan and a $300 million expansion option. There are no required principal repayments under the term loan until $1.25 million quarterly payments commencing on March 31, 2012. At November 30, 2011, we had $48 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $536 million of available liquidity under our Senior Credit Facility. We believe that the availability under the Senior Credit Facility, combined with our existing cash on hand and funds generated from operations will be adequate to meet operating, debt service, stock buyback, acquisition funding and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.
Holders of our 2% Convertible Notes have the option to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their 2% Convertible Notes for cash on November 15, 2013 and November 15, 2018 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. Holders may also convert their 2% Convertible Notes into shares of the Companys Class A common stock prior to the scheduled maturity date under certain conditions. Effective November 2010, we have the ability to redeem all or part of the 2% Convertible Notes for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.
See Note 7, Debt in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the 2% Convertible Notes and Senior Credit Facility.
Commitments and Contingencies
We lease certain facilities, computers, equipment and vehicles under various operating lease agreements, generally over periods from one to twenty years. Under most arrangements, we pay the property taxes, insurance, maintenance and expenses related to the leased property. Many of the leases include provisions that enable us to renew the lease based upon fair value rental rates on the date of expiration of the initial lease.
In the normal course of business we have entered into certain real estate and equipment leases or have guaranteed such leases on behalf of our subsidiaries. In conjunction with the spin-off of a former subsidiary in fiscal 2000, we assigned our rights in the leases used by the former subsidiary, but were not released as a responsible party from all such leases by the lessors. All of these businesses were subsequently sold. We remain contingently liable for those leases if any of these businesses are unable to fulfill their obligations thereunder. The discounted present value of future minimum lease payments for these leases was $4 million at November 30, 2011.
We had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $9 million at November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011, the majority of which secure self-insured workers compensation liabilities.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations are discussed in Part 1, Item 7 , Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading Contractual Obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2011, and, as of November 30, 2011, have not materially changed.
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the three months ended November 30, 2011. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
