Johnson Controls, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
(unaudited)
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Johnson Controls, Inc. (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. The results of operations for the three month period ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the Company’s 2014 fiscal year because of seasonal and other factors.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Johnson Controls, Inc. and its domestic and non-U.S. subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in partially-owned affiliates are accounted for by the equity method when the Company’s interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest.
Under certain criteria as provided for in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, “Consolidation,” the Company may consolidate a partially-owned affiliate. To determine whether to consolidate a partially-owned affiliate, the Company first determines if the entity is a variable interest entity (VIE). An entity is considered to be a VIE if it has one of the following characteristics: 1) the entity is thinly capitalized; 2) residual equity holders do not control the entity; 3) equity holders are shielded from economic losses or do not participate fully in the entity’s residual economics; or 4) the entity was established with non-substantive voting. If the entity meets one of these characteristics, the Company then determines if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The party with the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the potential to absorb benefits or losses that could be significant to the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. If the entity is not considered a VIE, then the Company applies the voting interest model to determine whether or not the Company shall consolidate the partially-owned affiliate.
Consolidated VIEs
Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, the Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary in three VIEs for the reporting periods ended December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as the Company absorbs significant economics of the entities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities.
Two of the VIEs manufacture products in North America for the automotive industry. The Company funds the entities’ short term liquidity needs through revolving credit facilities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities through its key customer supply relationships.
During the three month period ended December 31, 2011, a pre-existing VIE accounted for under the equity method was reorganized into three separate investments as a result of the counterparty exercising its option to put its interest to the Company. The Company acquired additional interests in two of the reorganized group entities. The reorganized group entities are considered to be VIEs as the other owner party has been provided decision making rights but does not have equity at risk. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of one of the entities due to the Company’s power pertaining to decisions over significant activities of the entity. As such, this VIE has been consolidated within the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. The impact of consolidation of the entity on the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was not material. The VIE is named as a co-obligor under a third party debt agreement of $175 million, maturing in fiscal 2020, under which it could become subject to paying more than its allocated share of the third party debt in the event of bankruptcy of one or more of the other co-obligors. The other co-obligors, all related parties in which the Company is an equity investor, consist of the remaining group entities involved in the reorganization. As part of the overall reorganization transaction, the Company has also provided financial support to the group entities in the form of loans totaling $55 million, which are subordinate to the third party debt agreement. The Company is a significant customer of certain co-obligors, resulting in a remote possibility of loss. Additionally, the Company is subject to a floor guaranty expiring in fiscal 2022; in the event that the other owner party no longer owns any part of the group entities
Johnson Controls, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
due to sale or transfer, the Company has guaranteed that the proceeds received from the sale or transfer will not be less than $25 million. The Company has partnered with the group entities to design and manufacture battery components for the Power Solutions business.
The carrying amounts and classification of assets (none of which are restricted) and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position for the consolidated VIEs are as follows (in millions):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2013 | | September 30, 2013 | | December 31, 2012 |

The Company did not have a significant variable interest in any other consolidated VIEs for the presented reporting periods.
Nonconsolidated VIEs
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a 40% interest in an equity method investee whereby the investee is a VIE. The investee produces and sells lead-acid batteries of which the Company both purchases and supplies certain batteries to complement each investment partners’ portfolio. The Company had a contractual right to purchase the remaining 60% equity interest in the investee between May 2014 and May 2016 (the “call option”). If the Company did not exercise the call option prior to its expiration in May 2016, for a period of six months thereafter the Company was subject to a contractual obligation at the counterparty’s option to sell the Company’s equity investment in the investee to the counterparty (the “repurchase option”). The purchase price was fixed under both the call option and the repurchase option. Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, the Company determined that the investee was a VIE as the equity holders, through their equity investments, may not participate fully in the entity’s residual economics. The Company was not the primary beneficiary as the Company did not have the power to make key operating decisions considered to be most significant to the VIE. Therefore, the investee was accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company’s interest exceeded 20% and the Company did not have a controlling interest. The investment balance included within investments in partially-owned affiliates in the consolidated statements of financial position at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $56 million and $54 million, respectively, which represents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. Current assets and liabilities related to the VIE were immaterial and represent normal course of business trade receivables and payables for all presented periods. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company purchased an additional 50% equity interest in the investee to bring the Company's total interest in the investee to 90%. As a result of this transaction, the fixed price call option and repurchase option no longer exist, and the Company consolidates the investee under the voting interest model. Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this transaction.
As mentioned previously within the “Consolidated VIEs” section above, during the three month period ended December 31, 2011, a pre-existing VIE was reorganized into three separate investments as a result of the counterparty exercising its option to put its interest to the Company. The reorganized group entities are considered to be VIEs as the other owner party has been provided decision making rights but does not have equity at risk. The Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary of two of the entities as the Company cannot make key operating decisions considered to be most significant to the VIEs. Therefore, the entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company’s interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss includes the partially-owned affiliate investment balance of $57 million, $57 million and $54 million at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, as well as the subordinated loan from the Company, third party debt agreement and floor guaranty mentioned previously within the “Consolidated VIEs” section above. Current liabilities due to the VIEs are not material and represent normal course of business trade payables for all presented periods.

(unaudited)
The Company did not have a significant variable interest in any other nonconsolidated VIEs for the presented reporting periods.
Restricted Cash
At December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company held restricted cash of approximately $24 million, $32 million and $21 million, respectively, within cash and cash equivalents. These amounts were collected from customers for payment of maintenance costs under contract, and withdrawals are restricted for this purpose.
Retrospective Changes
Certain amounts as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 have been revised to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Effective October 1, 2013, the Company reorganized the reportable segments within its Building Efficiency business to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities. Prior to this reorganization, Building Efficiency was comprised of five reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: North America Systems, North America Service, Global Workplace Solutions, Asia and Other. As a result of this change, Building Efficiency is now comprised of four reportable segments for financial reporting purposes, with the only change being the combination of North America Systems and North America Service into one reportable segment called North America Systems and Service. Historical information has been revised to reflect the new Building Efficiency reportable segment structure.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company changed its method of inventory costing for certain inventory in its Power Solutions business to the first-in first-out (FIFO) method from the last-in first-out (LIFO) method. The Company's other businesses also determine costs using the FIFO method. Prior to the change, Power Solutions utilized two methods of inventory costing: LIFO for inventories in the U.S. and FIFO for inventories in other countries. The Company believes that the FIFO method is preferable as it better reflects the current value of inventory on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position, provides better matching of revenues and expenses, results in uniformity across the Company’s global operations with respect to the method of inventory accounting and improves comparability with the Company’s peers. The change has been reported through retrospective application of the new policy to all periods presented and resulted in a $5 million increase in net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc., and no impact on diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

2. | New Accounting Standards |
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU No. 2013-11 clarifies that companies should present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. ASU No. 2013-11 will be effective prospectively for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated statement of financial position. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." ASU No. 2013-05 clarifies when companies should release the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. Additionally, ASU No. 2013-05 states that CTA should be released into net income upon an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (step acquisition). ASU No. 2013-05 will be effective prospectively for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The significance of this guidance for the Company is dependent on any future derecognition events involving the Company's foreign entities.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU No. 2013-02 requires companies to provide information
Johnson Controls, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
(unaudited)
about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Additionally, companies are required to disclose these reclassifications by each respective line item on the statements of income. ASU No. 2013-02 was effective for the Company for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Refer to Note 14, "Equity and Noncontrolling Interests," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for disclosures regarding other comprehensive income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." ASU No. 2011-11 requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures of gross and net information regarding derivative instruments that are offset or eligible for offset in the consolidated statement of financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 was effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Refer to Note 15, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for disclosure of gross and net information regarding the Company's derivative instruments.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company completed two acquisitions for a combined purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $128 million, all of which was paid in the three months ended December 31, 2013. The acquisitions in the aggregate were not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $102 million. The purchase price allocations may be subsequently adjusted to reflect final valuation studies. As a result of one of the acquisitions, which increased the Company's ownership from a noncontrolling to controlling interest, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $19 million in equity income for the Power Solutions business to adjust the Company's existing equity investment in the partially-owned affiliate to fair value.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company completed one divestiture for a sales price of $13 million, all of which was received as of December 31, 2013. The divestiture was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In connection with the divestiture, the Company recorded a gain, net of transaction costs, of $9 million in the Automotive Experience Interiors segment. There was no change in goodwill as a result of this transaction.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation of certain fiscal 2013 acquisitions and recorded an addition to goodwill of $2 million.
On January 13, 2014, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell the Automotive Experience Electronics business to Visteon Corporation, subject to regulatory and other approvals. The business is classified as held for sale in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013. Refer to Note 4, "Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further disclosure related to the Company's assets and liabilities held for sale.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company made no acquisitions and had no divestitures.

4. | Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale |
At September 30, 2013, the Company determined that certain of its businesses met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Automotive Experience Electronics segment and certain product lines of the Automotive Experience Interiors segment were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale (in millions):

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale were required to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $41 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 to write down the long-lived assets related to certain product lines of the Automotive Experience Interiors segment to zero. In connection with the anticipated sale of those product lines, which is expected to occur in fiscal 2014, the Company expects to make a cash payment to the buyer to fund future operational improvement initiatives, which could result in a loss before income taxes of $75 million to $85 million, subject to final negotiations. In addition, the divestiture of the Automotive Experience Electronics segment could result in a gain or loss to the extent the ultimate selling price differs from the current carrying value of the net assets recorded.
The Automotive Experience Electronics business did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation primarily due to the status of transaction negotiations at December 31, 2013. The Automotive Experience Interiors product lines classified as held for sale are immaterial to the Company individually and in the aggregate, and do not constitute a distinguishable business in order to be classified as a discontinued operation.

The nine months ended September 30, 2013 Automotive Experience Electronics business divestitures amount includes $74 million of goodwill transferred to assets held for sale on the consolidated statement of financial position. Refer to Note 4, "Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company's disposal groups classified as held for sale.
Based on a combination of factors, including the recent operating results of the Automotive Experience Interiors business, restrictions on future capital and restructuring funding, and the Company's announced intention to explore strategic options related to this business, the Company's forecasted cash flow estimates used in the goodwill assessment were negatively impacted as of September 30, 2013. As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Interiors reporting unit exceeded its fair value as of September 30, 2013. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $430 million in

the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, which was determined by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit. The assumptions included in the impairment test require judgment, and changes to these inputs could impact the results of the calculation. Other than management's internal projections of future cash flows, the primary assumptions used in the impairment test were the weighted-average cost of capital and long-term growth rates. Although the Company's cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that are considered reasonable by management and consistent with the plans and estimates management is using to operate the underlying business, there is significant judgment in determining the expected future cash flows attributable to the Interiors business.
The Company’s other intangible assets, primarily from business acquisitions valued based on independent appraisals, consisted of (in millions):

Amortization of other intangible assets for the three month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $20 million and $18 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company anticipates amortization for fiscal 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 will be approximately $82 million, $76 million, $71 million, $64 million and $55 million per year, respectively.
The Company offers warranties to its customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. A typical warranty program requires that the Company replace defective products within a specified time period from the date of sale. The Company records an estimate for future warranty-related costs based on actual historical return rates and other known factors. Based on analysis of return rates and other factors, the Company’s warranty provisions are adjusted as necessary. The Company monitors its warranty activity and adjusts its reserve estimates when it is probable that future warranty costs will be different than those estimates.
The Company’s product warranty liability is recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position in other current liabilities if the warranty is less than one year and in other noncurrent liabilities if the warranty extends longer than one year.
The changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s total product warranty liability, including extended warranties for which deferred revenue is recorded, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in millions):

9. | Significant Restructuring Costs |
To better align its resources with its growth strategies and reduce the cost structure of its global operations to address the softness in certain underlying markets, the Company committed to a significant restructuring plan in fiscal 2012 and recorded $297 million of restructuring and impairment costs, of which $52 million was recorded in the third quarter and $245 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. As a continuation of its restructuring plan announced in fiscal 2012, the Company recorded $985 million of restructuring and impairment costs in fiscal 2013, of which $84 million was recorded in the second quarter, $143 million in the third quarter and $758 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The restructuring actions related to cost reduction initiatives in the Company’s Automotive Experience, Building Efficiency and Power Solutions businesses and included planned workforce reductions, plant closures, and asset and goodwill impairments. The restructuring actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2014.
The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s restructuring reserve, included within other current liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position (in millions):

The $31 million of transfers from liabilities held for sale represent restructuring reserves that were included in liabilities held for sale in the consolidated statement of financial position at September 30, 2013, but are excluded from liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2013 based on recent transaction negotiations. See Note 4, "Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company's disposal groups classified as held for sale.
The Company's restructuring plans include workforce reductions of approximately 16,700 employees (9,500 for the Automotive Experience business, 6,200 for the Building Efficiency business and 1,000 for the Power Solutions business). Restructuring charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee or on a lump sum basis in accordance with individual severance agreements. As of December 31, 2013, approximately 9,100 of the employees have been separated from the Company pursuant to the restructuring plans. In addition, the restructuring plans include twenty-one plant closures (seventeen for Automotive Experience, two for Power Solutions and two for Building Efficiency). As of December 31, 2013, ten of the twenty-one plants have been closed.
Company management closely monitors its overall cost structure and continually analyzes each of its businesses for opportunities to consolidate current operations, improve operating efficiencies and locate facilities in low cost countries in close proximity to customers. This ongoing analysis includes a review of its manufacturing, engineering and purchasing operations, as well as the overall global footprint for all its businesses. Because of the importance of new vehicle sales by major automotive manufacturers to operations, the Company is affected by the general business conditions in this industry. Future adverse developments in the automotive industry could impact the Company’s liquidity position, lead to impairment charges and/or require additional restructuring of its operations.

In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the actual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company's effective tax rate was 20%. The effective rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to global tax planning and foreign tax rate differentials.
Valuation Allowance
The Company reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowances may be necessary.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset associated with a capital loss in Mexico would not be utilized. Therefore, the Company recorded a $21 million valuation allowance as income tax expense.
Uncertain Tax Positions
At September 30, 2013, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $1,345 million, of which $1,198 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Total net accrued interest at September 30, 2013 was approximately $84 million (net of tax benefit). The net change in interest and penalties during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was not material. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
In the U.S., fiscal years 2010 through 2012 are currently under exam by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and 2004 through 2009 are currently under IRS Appeals. Additionally, the Company is currently under exam in the following major foreign jurisdictions:
|
| | |
Tax Jurisdiction | | Tax Years Covered |
| | |
Belgium | | 2011 - 2012 |
Brazil | | 2004 - 2008 |
Canada | | 2007 - 2010 |
France | | 2002 - 2012 |
Germany | | 2001 - 2010 |
Italy | | 2005 - 2009 |
Korea | | 2008 - 2012 |
Mexico | | 2003 - 2004, 2007 - 2012 |
The Company expects that certain tax examinations, appellate proceedings and/or tax litigation will conclude within the next twelve months, the impact of which is not expected to be significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Impacts of Tax Legislation
As a result of changes to Mexican tax law in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a benefit to income tax expense of $25 million. Tax legislation was also adopted in various other jurisdictions during the three month period ended December 31, 2013. These law changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The “look-through rule,” under subpart F of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, expired for the Company on September 30, 2012. The “look-through rule” had provided an exception to the U.S. taxation of certain income generated by foreign subsidiaries. The rule was extended in January 2013 retroactive to the beginning of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year; however, because the bill was not signed into law until January 2013 it was not in effect as of December 31, 2012. The effect of the “look-through rule” expiration did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the reporting period that are calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options and unvested restricted stock. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future, compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized and any windfall tax benefits that would be credited to capital in excess of par value when the award generates a tax deduction. If there would be a shortfall resulting in a charge to capital in excess of par value, such an amount would be a reduction of the proceeds. For unvested restricted stock, assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method would include unamortized compensation cost and windfall tax benefits or shortfalls.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions):

In November 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $3 billion increase in the Company's share repurchase program, which brought the total authorized amount under the repurchase program to $3.65 billion. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased approximately $1.2 billion of shares, including $800 million as part of an accelerated share repurchase agreement, under these authorizations.
The Company consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within their control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income. Redeemable noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value.

15. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
The Company selectively uses derivative instruments to reduce market risk associated with changes in foreign currency, commodities, stock-based compensation liabilities and interest rates. Under Company policy, the use of derivatives is restricted to those intended for hedging purposes; the use of any derivative instrument for speculative purposes is strictly prohibited. A description of each type of derivative utilized by the Company to manage risk is included in the following paragraphs. In addition, refer to Note 16, “Fair Value Measurements,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized by the Company for each derivative type.
The Company has global operations and participates in the foreign exchange markets to minimize its risk of loss from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain of its foreign exchange rate exposures. The Company hedges 70% to 90% of the nominal amount of each of its known foreign exchange transactional exposures.
The Company has entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in Japan. The currency effects of the cross-currency interest rate swaps are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) account within shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investment in Japan. At December 31, 2013, the Company had four cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 20 billion yen. At September 30, 2013, the Company had five cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 25 billion yen. At December 31, 2012, the Company had three cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 20 billion yen.
The Company uses commodity contracts in the financial derivatives market in cases where commodity price risk cannot be naturally offset or hedged through supply base fixed price contracts. Commodity risks are systematically managed pursuant to policy guidelines. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions, typically sales or costs related to sales, occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The maturities of the commodity contracts coincide with the expected purchase of the commodities. The Company had the following outstanding commodity hedge contracts that hedge forecasted purchases: |

The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. These equity compensation liabilities increase as the Company’s stock price increases and decrease as the Company’s stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had hedged approximately 4.6 million, 4.4 million and 4.5 million shares of its common stock, respectively.

The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates for its fixed-rate notes. As fair value hedges, the interest rate swaps and related debt balances are valued under a market approach using publicized swap curves. Changes in the fair value of the swap and hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap totaling $100 million to hedge the coupon of its 5.8% notes which matured on November 15, 2012, two fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $300 million to hedge the coupon of its 4.875% notes which matured on September 15, 2013, and five fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $450 million to hedge the coupon of its 1.75% notes maturing March 1, 2014. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap totaling approximately $125 million to hedge the coupon of its 7.70% notes maturing March 1, 2015. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company entered into four fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $800 million to hedge the coupon of its 5.50% notes maturing January 15, 2016. There were ten interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, and seven interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
In September 2005, the Company entered into three forward treasury lock agreements to reduce the market risk associated with changes in interest rates associated with the Company’s anticipated fixed-rate note issuance to finance the acquisition of York International (cash flow hedge). The three forward treasury lock agreements, which had a combined notional amount of $1.3 billion, fixed a portion of the future interest cost for 5-year, 10-year and 30-year notes. The fair value of each treasury lock agreement, or the difference between the treasury lock reference rate and the fixed rate at time of note issuance, is amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective note issuance. In January 2006, in connection with the Company’s debt refinancing, the three forward treasury lock agreements were terminated.

The Company enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Associations (ISDA) master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the net settlement of amounts owed under the derivative contracts. The master netting agreements generally provide for net settlement of all outstanding contracts with a counterparty in the case of an event of default or a termination event. The Company has not elected to offset the fair value positions of the derivative contracts recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position. Collateral is generally not required of the Company or the counterparties under the master netting agreements. As of December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.

16. | Fair Value Measurements |
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in millions):

Valuation Methods
Foreign currency exchange derivatives – The Company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange rate risk primarily using foreign currency exchange hedge contracts. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized spot and forward prices. As cash flow hedges under ASC 815, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The fair value of foreign currency exchange derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
Commodity derivatives – The Company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to commodity price risk, primarily using commodity hedge contracts, to minimize overall price risk associated with the Company’s purchases of lead, copper, tin and aluminum. The commodity derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized prices, where available, or dealer quotes. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions, typically sales or cost related to sales, occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in commodity prices at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Interest rate swaps and related debt – The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates for its fixed-rate notes. As fair value hedges, the interest rate swaps and related debt balances are valued under a market approach using publicized swap curves. Changes in the fair value of the swap and hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap totaling $100 million to hedge the coupon of its 5.8% notes which matured on November 15, 2012, two fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $300 million to hedge the coupon of its 4.875% notes which matured on September 15, 2013 and five fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $450 million to hedge the coupon of its 1.75% notes maturing March 1, 2014. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap totaling approximately $125 million to hedge the coupon of its 7.70% notes maturing March 1, 2015. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company entered into four fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $800 million to hedge the coupon of its 5.50% notes maturing January 15, 2016. There were ten interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, and seven interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
Cross-currency interest rate swaps – The Company selectively uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign currency rate risk associated with certain of its investments in Japan. The cross-currency interest rate swaps are valued using observable market data. Changes in the market value of the swaps are reflected in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investment in Japan. At December 31, 2013 the Company had four cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 20 billion yen. At September 30, 2013, the Company had five cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 25 billion yen. At December 31, 2012, the Company had three cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 20 billion yen.
Investments in marketable common stock – The Company invests in certain marketable common stock, which is valued under a market approach using publicized share prices. As of December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $5 million, $7 million and $8 million, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income. There were no unrealized losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on these investments as of December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold certain marketable common stock for approximately $3 million. As a result, the Company recorded a $1 million realized gain within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Automotive Experience Seating segment.
Equity swaps – The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. The equity swaps are valued under a market approach as the

fair value of the swaps is equal to the Company’s stock price at the reporting period date. Changes in fair value on the equity swaps are reflected in the consolidated statements of income within selling, general and administrative expenses.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The fair value of long-term debt, which was $6.0 billion, $5.7 billion and $6.3 billion at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, was determined primarily using market quotes classified as Level 1 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.
Effective October 1, 2013, the Company reorganized the reportable segments within its Building Efficiency business to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities. Prior to this reorganization, Building Efficiency was comprised of five reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: North America Systems, North America Service, Global Workplace Solutions, Asia and Other. As a result of this change, Building Efficiency is now comprised of four reportable segments for financial reporting purposes, with the only change being the combination of North America Systems and North America Service into one reportable segment called North America Systems and Service. Historical information has been revised to reflect the new Building Efficiency reportable segment structure.
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company has determined that it has eight reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s eight reportable segments are presented in the context of its three primary businesses – Building Efficiency, Automotive Experience and Power Solutions.

The Company accrues for potential environmental liabilities in a manner consistent with U.S. GAAP; that is, when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Reserves for environmental liabilities totaled $24 million, $25 million and $24 million at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by the Company do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate the Company’s ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites and the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur. Nevertheless, the Company does not currently believe that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company has identified asset retirement obligations for environmental matters that are expected to be addressed at the retirement, disposal, removal or abandonment of existing owned facilities, primarily in the Power Solutions business. At December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded conditional asset retirement obligations of $59 million, $56 million and $81 million, respectively.
The Company is involved in a number of product liability and various other casualty lawsuits incident to the operation of its businesses. The Company maintains insurance coverages and records estimated costs for claims and suits of this nature. It is management’s opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Johnson Controls, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Johnson Controls, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income (loss) and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review 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 the 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated November 21, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position as of September 30, 2013, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated statements of financial position from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statements for Forward-Looking Information
Unless otherwise indicated, references to “Johnson Controls,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Johnson Controls, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company has made statements in this document that are forward-looking and, therefore, are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are statements that are, or could be, deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this document, statements regarding future financial position, sales, costs, earnings, cash flows, other measures of results of operations, capital expenditures or debt levels and plans, objectives, outlook, targets, guidance or goals are forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “forecast,” “project” or “plan” or terms of similar meaning are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Johnson Controls cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Johnson Controls' control, that could cause Johnson Controls' actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include the strength of the U.S. or other economies, automotive vehicle production levels, mix and schedules, energy and commodity prices, availability of raw materials and component products, currency exchange rates, and cancellation of or changes to commercial contracts, as well as other factors discussed in Item 1A of Part I of Johnson Controls' most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. Shareholders, potential investors and others should consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and should not place undue reliance on such statements.

Overview
Johnson Controls is a global diversified technology and industrial leader serving customers in more than 150 countries. The Company creates quality products, services and solutions to optimize energy and operational efficiencies of buildings; lead-acid automotive batteries and advanced batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles; and interior systems for automobiles.
Johnson Controls was originally incorporated in the state of Wisconsin in 1885 as Johnson Electric Service Company to manufacture, install and service automatic temperature regulation systems for buildings. The Company was renamed to Johnson Controls, Inc. in 1974. In 1978, the Company acquired Globe-Union, Inc., a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of automotive batteries for both the replacement and original equipment markets. The Company entered the automotive seating industry in 1985 with the acquisition of Michigan-based Hoover Universal, Inc. In 2005, the Company acquired York International, a global supplier of heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment and services.
The Building Efficiency business is a global market leader in designing, producing, marketing and installing integrated heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, building management systems, controls, security and mechanical equipment. In addition, the Building Efficiency business provides technical services, energy management consulting and operations of entire real estate portfolios for the non-residential buildings market. The Company also provides residential air conditioning and heating systems and industrial refrigeration products.
The Automotive Experience business is one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers, providing innovative interior systems through our design and engineering expertise. The Company’s technologies extend into virtually every area of the interior including seating and overhead systems, door systems, floor consoles, instrument panels, cockpits and integrated electronics. Customers include most of the world’s major automakers.
The Power Solutions business is a leading global supplier of lead-acid automotive batteries for virtually every type of passenger car, light truck and utility vehicle. The Company serves both automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the general vehicle battery aftermarket. The Company also supplies advanced battery technologies to power Start-Stop, hybrid and electric vehicles.
The following information should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2013 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. References in the following discussion and analysis to “Three Months” refer to the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012.
Certain amounts as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 have been revised to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Effective October 1, 2013, the Company reorganized the reportable segments within its Building Efficiency business to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities. Prior to this reorganization, Building Efficiency was comprised of five reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: North America Systems, North America Service, Global Workplace Solutions, Asia and Other. As a result of this change, Building Efficiency is now comprised of four reportable segments for financial reporting purposes, with the only change being the combination of North America Systems and North America Service into one reportable segment called North America Systems and Service. Historical information has been revised to reflect the new Building Efficiency reportable segment structure.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company changed its method of inventory costing for certain inventory in its Power Solutions business to the first-in first-out (FIFO) method from the last-in first-out (LIFO) method. The Company's other businesses also determine costs using the FIFO method. Prior to the change, Power Solutions utilized two methods of inventory costing: LIFO for inventories in the U.S. and FIFO for inventories in other countries. The Company believes that the FIFO method is preferable as it better reflects the current value of inventory on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position, provides better matching of revenues and expenses, results in uniformity across the Company’s global operations with respect to the method of inventory accounting and improves comparability with the Company’s peers. The change has been reported through retrospective application of the new policy to all periods presented and resulted in a $5 million increase in net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc., and no impact on diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
Outlook
On January 23, 2014, the Company announced that it expects fiscal 2014 second quarter earnings to be $0.64 - $0.66 per diluted share. On that date, the Company also reaffirmed its full fiscal 2014 guidance of $3.15 - $3.30 per diluted share and expected segment margin improvement in all three of its businesses.
In January 2014, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell its remaining Automotive Experience Electronics business to Visteon Corporation, subject to regulatory and other approvals. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding to create a joint venture with Hitachi to expand its Building Efficiency product offerings, launched a strategic review of its Automotive Experience Interiors business and was awarded the largest Building Efficiency business contract in Company history for the State of Hawaii energy savings project.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity position at December 31, 2013 are adequate to meet projected needs. The Company believes requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, minimum pension contributions, debt maturities and any potential acquisitions during the remainder of fiscal 2014 will continue to be funded from operations, supplemented by short- and long-term borrowings, if required. The Company currently manages its short-term debt position in the U.S. and euro commercial paper and bank loan markets. The Company continues to adjust its commercial paper maturities and issuance levels given market reactions to industry events and changes in the Company’s credit rating. In the event the Company is unable to issue commercial paper, it would have the ability to draw on its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility, which matures in August 2018. There were no draws on the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2013. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.
The Company’s debt financial covenants require a minimum consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. of at least $3.5 billion at all times and allow a maximum aggregated amount of 10% of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. for liens and pledges. For purposes of calculating the Company’s covenants, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. is calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 715-60, “Defined Benefit Plans - Other Postretirement,” or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As of December 31, 2013, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. as defined per the Company’s debt financial covenants was $11.2 billion and there was a maximum of $581 million of liens outstanding. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures for the foreseeable future. None of the Company’s debt agreements limit access to stated borrowing levels or require accelerated repayment in the event of a decrease in the Company’s credit rating.
The key financial assumptions used in calculating the Company’s pension liability are determined annually, or whenever plan assets and liabilities are re-measured as required under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., including the expected rate of return on our plan assets. In fiscal 2014, the Company believes the long-term rate of return will approximate 8.00%, 4.65% and 5.80% for U.S. pension, non-U.S. pension and postretirement plans, respectively. During the first three months of fiscal 2014, the Company made approximately $25 million in total pension contributions. In total, the Company expects to contribute approximately $80 million in cash to its defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2014. The Company does not expect to make any significant contributions to its postretirement plans in fiscal 2014.
Net Sales
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended December 31, | | |
(in millions) | 2013 | | 2012 | | Change |
Net sales | $ | 10,908 |
| | $ | 10,422 |
| | 5 | % |
The increase in consolidated net sales was due to higher sales in the Automotive Experience business ($516 million) and Power Solutions business ($78 million), and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation ($18 million), partially offset by lower sales in the Building Efficiency business ($126 million). Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, consolidated net sales increased 4% as compared to the prior year. The favorable impacts of higher Automotive Experience volumes globally, and higher global battery shipments and improved pricing in the Power Solutions business were partially offset by lower demand in the Building Efficiency Other and Global Workplace Solutions segments. Refer to the segment analysis below within Item 2 for a discussion of net sales by segment.
Cost of Sales / Gross Profit
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended December 31, | | |
(in millions) | 2013 | | 2012 | | Change |
Cost of sales | $ | 9,251 |
| | $ | 8,906 |
| | 4 | % |
Gross profit | 1,657 |
| | 1,516 |
| | 9 | % |
% of sales | 15.2 | % | | 14.5 | % | | |
The increase in cost of sales corresponds to the sales growth noted above, with gross profit as a percentage of sales increasing by 70 basis points. Gross profit percentage in the Automotive Experience business was favorably impacted by lower purchasing and operating costs due to improved operational performance and increased synergies, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix, and net unfavorable pricing and commercial settlements. Gross profit percentage in the Power Solutions business was favorably impacted by favorable pricing and product mix, and increased benefits of vertical integration. Gross profit percentage in the Building Efficiency business was favorably impacted by favorable margin rates. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact on cost of sales of approximately $17 million. Refer to the segment analysis below within Item 2 for a discussion of segment income by segment.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended December 31, | | |
(in millions) | 2013 | | 2012 | | Change |
Selling, general and administrative expenses | $ | 1,084 |
| | $ | 1,052 |
| | 3 | % |
% of sales | 9.9 | % | | 10.1 | % | | |
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased slightly as compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2012, while SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased slightly over the same period. The Power Solutions business SG&A increased primarily due to higher employee related expenses. The Building Efficiency business SG&A increased primarily due to a prior year pension curtailment gain resulting from a lost Global Workplace Solutions contract and net unfavorable contract related charges, partially offset by lower employee related expenses due to cost reduction initiatives. The Automotive Experience business SG&A decreased primarily due to a gain on business divestiture. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact on SG&A of $3 million.

| |
• | In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. |
| |
• | For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the effective tax rate was different than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to global tax planning and foreign tax rate differentials. |
| |
• | In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset associated with a capital loss in Mexico would not be utilized. Therefore, the Company recorded a $21 million valuation allowance as income tax expense. |
| |
• | As a result of changes to Mexican tax law in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a benefit to income tax expense of $25 million. |

• | The Company defines working capital as current assets less current liabilities, excluding cash, short-term debt, the current portion of long-term debt, and assets and liabilities held for sale. Management believes that this measure of working capital, which excludes financing-related items, provides a more useful measurement of the Company’s operating performance. |
| |
• | The increase in working capital at December 31, 2013 as compared to September 30, 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable primarily due to timing of supplier payments, lower accrued income taxes due to timing of tax payments, lower accrued compensation and benefits due to timing of incentive compensation payments and higher inventory levels, partially offset by lower accounts receivable due to timing of customer receipts. Compared to December 31, 2012, the decrease was primarily due to lower accounts receivable due to improved collections and timing of customer receipts, increase in reserves |
due to restructuring activities and higher dividends payable due to timing of dividend payments, partially offset by lower accounts payable due to the timing of supplier payments and higher inventory levels to support higher sales levels.
| |
• | The Company’s days sales in accounts receivable at December 31, 2013 were 54, higher than 51 at the comparable period ended September 30, 2013, and lower than 58 at the comparable period ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant adverse changes in the level of overdue receivables or changes in revenue recognition methods. |
| |
• | The Company’s inventory turns for the three months ended December 31, 2013 were lower than the comparable period ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to higher inventory production. Inventory turns were lower than December 31, 2012 primarily due to higher inventory production to meet higher sales levels. |
| |
• | Days in accounts payable at December 31, 2013 were 68 days, lower than 72 and 73 at the comparable periods ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. |

| |
• | The increase in cash used by investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to cash paid for acquisitions of businesses. |
| |
• | The increase in cash used by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to current year stock repurchases, partially offset by a net increase in debt levels and the prior year acceleration of the payment of the first quarter dividend. |

• | The decrease in capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2013 primarily relates to prior year capacity increases and vertical integration efforts in the Power Solutions business. |
Deferred Taxes
The Company reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowances may be necessary.
The Company has certain subsidiaries, mainly located in Brazil, France, Germany and Spain which have generated operating and/or capital losses and, in certain circumstances, have limited loss carryforward periods. In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company is required to record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not the Company will not utilize deductible amounts or net operating losses for each legal entity or consolidated group based on the tax rules in the applicable jurisdiction, evaluating both positive and negative historical evidences as well as expected future events and tax planning strategies.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset associated with a capital loss in Mexico would not be utilized. Therefore, the Company recorded a $21 million valuation allowance as income tax expense.

• | In December 2013, the Company entered into a five-year, 220 million euro, floating rate credit facility scheduled to mature in fiscal 2019. The Company drew on the full credit facility during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Proceeds from the facility were used for general corporate purposes. |
| |
• | In December 2013, the Company entered into a nine-month, $500 million, floating rate term loan scheduled to mature in September 2014. Proceeds from the term loan were used for general corporate purposes. |

| |
• | In August 2013, the Company replaced its $2.5 billion committed four-year credit facility, scheduled to mature in February 2015, with a $2.5 billion committed five-year credit facility scheduled to mature in August 2018.

| |
• | In November 2012, the Company entered into a five-year, 70 million euro, floating rate credit facility scheduled to mature in November 2017.

| |
• | In November 2012, the Company retired $100 million in principal amount, plus accrued interest, of its 5.8% fixed rate notes that matured. The Company used cash to fund the payment. |
| |
• | The Company also selectively makes use of short-term credit lines. The Company estimates that, as of December 31, 2013, it could borrow up to $1.8 billion on committed credit lines. |
| |
• | The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity position at December 31, 2013 are adequate to meet projected needs. The Company believes requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, stock repurchases, minimum pension |
contributions, debt maturities and any potential acquisitions in the remainder of fiscal 2014 will continue to be funded from operations, supplemented by short- and long-term borrowings, if required. The Company currently manages its short-term debt position in the U.S. and euro commercial paper and bank loan markets. In the event the Company is unable to issue commercial paper, it would have the ability to draw on its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility, which matures in August 2018. There were no draws on the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2013. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.
| |
• | The Company earns a significant amount of its operating income outside the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. The Company currently does not intend nor foresee a need to repatriate these funds. The Company’s intent is for such earnings to be reinvested by the subsidiaries or to be repatriated only when it would be tax effective through the utilization of foreign tax credits. The Company expects existing domestic cash and liquidity to continue to be sufficient to fund the Company’s domestic operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company expects existing foreign cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund the Company’s foreign operating activities and cash commitments for investing activities, such as material capital expenditures, for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. Should the Company require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by operations domestically, the Company could elect to raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. This alternative could result in increased interest expense or other dilution of the Company’s earnings. The Company has borrowed funds domestically and continues to have the ability to borrow funds domestically at reasonable interest rates. |
| |
• | The Company’s debt financial covenants require a minimum consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. of at least $3.5 billion at all times and allow a maximum aggregated amount of 10% of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. for liens and pledges. For purposes of calculating the Company’s covenants, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. is calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of ASC 715-60, “Defined Benefit Plans - Other Postretirement,” or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As of December 31, 2013, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. as defined per the Company’s debt financial covenants was $11.2 billion and there was a maximum of $581 million of liens outstanding. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures for the foreseeable future. None of the Company’s debt agreements limit access to stated borrowing levels or require accelerated repayment in the event of a decrease in the Company’s credit rating. |
New Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU No. 2013-11 clarifies that companies should present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. ASU No. 2013-11 will be effective prospectively for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated statement of financial position. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." ASU No. 2013-05 clarifies when companies should release the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. Additionally, ASU No. 2013-05 states that CTA should be released into net income upon an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (step acquisition). ASU No. 2013-05 will be effective prospectively for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The significance of this guidance for the Company is dependent on any future derecognition events involving the Company's foreign entities.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU No. 2013-02 requires companies to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Additionally, companies are required to disclose these reclassifications by each respective line item on the statements of income. ASU No. 2013-02 was effective for the Company for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated
financial condition or results of operations. Refer to Note 14, "Equity and Noncontrolling Interests," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for disclosures regarding other comprehensive income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." ASU No. 2011-11 requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures of gross and net information regarding derivative instruments that are offset or eligible for offset in the consolidated statement of financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 was effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Refer to Note 15, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for disclosure of gross and net information regarding the Company's derivative instruments.

PwC is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the interim financial information because such reports do not constitute “reports” or “parts” of the registration statements prepared or certified by PwC within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had not experienced any adverse changes in market risk exposures that materially affected the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is undertaking the implementation of new enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in certain businesses, which will occur over a period of several years. As the phased roll-out of the new ERP systems occurs, the Company may experience changes in internal control over financial reporting. No significant changes were made to the Company’s current internal control over financial reporting as a result of the implementation of the new ERP systems during the three months ended December 31, 2013.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As noted in Item 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013, liabilities potentially arise globally under various environmental laws and worker safety laws for activities that are not in compliance with such laws and for the cleanup of sites where Company-related substances have been released into the environment.
Currently, the Company is responding to allegations that it is responsible for performing environmental remediation, or for the repayment of costs spent by governmental entities or others performing remediation, at approximately 35 sites in the United States. Many of these sites are landfills used by the Company in the past for the disposal of waste materials; others are secondary lead smelters and lead recycling sites where the Company returned lead-containing materials for recycling; a few involve the cleanup of Company manufacturing facilities; and the remaining fall into miscellaneous categories. The Company may face similar claims of liability at additional sites in the future. Where potential liabilities are alleged, the Company pursues a course of action intended to mitigate them.
The Company accrues for potential environmental liabilities in a manner consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; that is, when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Reserves for environmental liabilities totaled $24 million, $25 million and $24 million at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by the Company do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate the Company’s ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites, and the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur. Nevertheless, the Company does not currently believe that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company has identified asset retirement obligations for environmental matters that are expected to be addressed at the retirement, disposal, removal or abandonment of existing owned facilities, primarily in the Power Solutions business. At December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded conditional asset retirement obligations of $59 million, $56 million and $81 million, respectively.
The Company is involved in a number of product liability and various other casualty lawsuits incident to the operation of its businesses. The Company maintains insurance coverages and records estimated costs for claims and suits of this nature. It is management’s opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the disclosure regarding risk factors presented in Item 1A to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In November 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $500 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which supersedes any prior programs. In September 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized up to an additional $500 million in stock repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and in November 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional $3.0 billion under the stock repurchase program, both incremental to prior authorizations. Stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program may be made through open market, privately negotiated, or structured transactions or otherwise at times and in such amounts as Company management deems appropriate. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice. In November 2013, the Company announced an $800 million accelerated stock repurchase agreement with Goldman Sachs that was funded in November 2013.
The Company entered into an Equity Swap Agreement, dated March 13, 2009, with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank). The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. These equity compensation liabilities increase as the Company’s stock price increases and decrease as the
Company’s stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the Equity Swap Agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount.
In connection with the Equity Swap Agreement, Citibank may purchase unlimited shares of the Company’s stock in the market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company disclaims that Citibank is an “affiliated purchaser” of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act or that Citibank is purchasing any shares for the Company. The Equity Swap Agreement has no stated expiration date. The net effect of the change in fair value of the Equity Swap Agreement and the change in equity compensation liabilities was not material to the Company’s earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2013.
The following table presents information regarding the repurchase of the Company’s common stock by the Company as part of the publicly announced program and purchases of the Company’s common stock by Citibank in connection with the Equity Swap Agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2013.
