Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 1, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” These updates require entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement, or in separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The updates are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied retroactively. We adopted the new requirements in the first quarter of our 2013 fiscal year. The adoption of these updates did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of AOCI” which further amended the disclosure requirements for comprehensive income. The update requires entities to disclose items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and into net income in a single location either in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements or parenthetically on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of income. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012 which is our fiscal year 2014 and is to be applied prospectively. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Note 2: Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

Engent, Inc.: On September 10, 2012 we acquired the outstanding shares of Engent, Inc., a provider of manufacturing, research and development services to the electronics industry. The purchase price of $7,881 was funded through existing cash and was recorded in our North America Adhesives operating segment.

In addition to the initial consideration, the former owners of the Engent, Inc. business are entitled to receive a series of annual cash payments based on certain financial performance criteria during the period September 10, 2012 through November 28, 2015 up to a maximum additional consideration of $2,000. We used a probability-weighted present value technique based on expected future cash flows to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration. The resulting fair value of the contingent consideration was $1,200 which was recorded in other liabilities and increased goodwill. Each reporting period we determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liability and any changes in value are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table summarizes the final fair value measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:


	Preliminary Valuation December 1, 2012			Fair Value Adjustments			Final Valuation
Current assets	$	603		$	—		$	603
Property, plant and equipment		1,471			—			1,471

Other liabilities		(1,668	)		64			(1,604	)
Contingent consideration liabilities		(1,200	)		—			(1,200	)

Total purchase price	$	7,881		$	—		$	7,881

The adjustments to the purchase price allocation primarily relate to non-current deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Forbo Industrial Adhesives. On March 5, 2012 we completed the acquisition of the global industrial adhesives and synthetic polymers business of Forbo Holding AG. The purchase price was 368,514 Swiss francs or $403,100 which we financed with the proceeds from our March 5, 2012 note purchase agreement and a term loan.

As of March 5, 2013, we completed our final purchase price allocation including final tax adjustments. The following table summarizes the fair value measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:


	Preliminary Valuation December 1, 2012			Purchase Price and Fair Value Adjustments			Final Valuation
Current assets	$	172,345		$	—		$	172,345

Total purchase price	$	404,725		$	(1,625	)	$	403,100

The adjustments to the purchase price allocation primarily relate to non-current deferred tax liabilities and purchase price adjustments.

Divestitures

Central America Paints. On August 6, 2012 we completed the sale of our Central America Paints business to Compania Global de Pinturas S.A., a company of Inversiones Mundial S.A for cash proceeds of $118,566. In accordance with ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations”, we have classified the results of this business as discontinued operations. The operational results of this business are presented in the “Income from discontinued operations, net of tax” line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Also in accordance with ASC 205-20, we have not allocated general corporate charges to this business. The assets and liabilities of this business are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.

Revenue and income (loss) from discontinued operations for the period ended June 2, 2012 were as follows:


	13 Weeks Ended			26 Weeks Ended
	June 2, 2012			June 2, 2012
Net revenue	$	26,321		$	56,129
Income from operations		3,819			6,662
Income taxes		(6,872	)		(7,992	)

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations	$	(3,053	)	$	(1,330	)

The major classes of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 1, 2013 and December 1, 2012 were as follows:

Note 3: Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

Overview: We have various share-based compensation programs, which provide for equity awards including stock options, restricted stock shares, restricted stock units and deferred compensation. These equity awards fall under several plans and are described in detail in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K as of December 1, 2012.

Grant-Date Fair Value: We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award. The fair value of options granted during the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012 were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:


	13 Weeks Ended						26 Weeks Ended
	June 1, 2013			June 2, 2012			June 1, 2013	June 2, 2012

Expected life – We use historical employee exercise and option expiration data to estimate the expected life assumption for the Black-Scholes grant-date valuation. We believe that this historical data is currently the best estimate of the expected term of a new option. We use a weighted-average expected life for all awards.

Expected volatility – Volatility is calculated using our historical volatility for the same period of time as the expected life. We have no reason to believe that our future volatility will differ materially from the past.

Risk-free interest rate – The rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the same period of time as the expected life.

Expected dividend yield – The calculation is based on the total expected annual dividend payout divided by the average stock price.

Expense Recognition: We use the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation expense for option awards with graded vesting and restricted stock share and restricted stock units with graded and cliff vesting. The amount of share-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Total share-based compensation expense of $2,895 and $2,217 was included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the 13 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense of $6,215 and $5,012 was included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the 26 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, respectively. All share-based compensation expense was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense. For the 13 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012 there was $225 and $158 of excess tax benefit recognized, respectively. For the 26 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012 there was $2,029 and $1,039 of excess tax benefit recognized, respectively.

As of June 1, 2013, there was $9,794 of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. Unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested restricted stock shares was $9,364 and unvested restricted stock units was $2,914, both of which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

The repurchases relate to statutory minimum tax withholding.

We have a Directors’ Deferred Compensation plan that allows non-employee directors to defer all or a portion of their retainer and meeting fees in a number of investment choices, including units representing shares of our common stock. We also have a Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan that allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation in a number of investment choices, including units, representing shares of our common stock. We provide a 10 percent match on deferred compensation invested into units, representing shares of our common stock.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to H.B. Fuller by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share is attributable to share-based compensation awards. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding shares, which computes total employee proceeds as

the sum of (a) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award, (b) the amount of unearned share-based compensation costs attributed to future services and (c) the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the award. Share-based compensation awards for which total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Our June 1, 2013 and March 2, 2013 stock prices were higher than any of our stock option grant prices at that time, therefore no option shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the first two quarters of 2013. Options to purchase 4,652 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $32.32 for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended June 2, 2012, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because they were antidilutive.

Note 6: Special Charges, net

The integration of the Forbo industrial adhesives business we acquired in March 2012 involves a significant amount of restructuring and capital investment to optimize the new combined entity. In addition, we are taking a series of actions in our existing EIMEA operating segment to improve the profitability and future growth prospects of this operating segment. We have combined these two initiatives into a single project which we refer to as the “Business Integration Project”. During the 13 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, we incurred special charges, net of $10,843 and $32,127, respectively and $16,176 and $38,609 for the 26 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, respectively, for costs related to the Business Integration Project.

The following table provides detail of special charges, net:

Special charges, net	$	10,843	$	32,127	$	16,176	$	38,609

Professional services of $1,884 for the 13 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and $11,087 for the 13 weeks ended June 2, 2012, include costs related to organization consulting, investment advisory, financial advisory, legal and valuation services necessary to acquire and integrate the Forbo industrial adhesives business into our existing operating segments. For the 26 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012 we incurred professional services costs of $4,166 and $19,514, respectively. For the 26 weeks ended 2012, we also incurred other costs related to the acquisition of the Forbo industrial adhesives business including an expense of $4,300 to make a bridge loan available if needed and an expense of $841 related to the purchase of a foreign currency option to hedge a portion of the acquisition purchase price. Also during the first quarter of 2012, we entered into forward currency contracts maturing on March 5, 2012 to purchase 370,000 Swiss francs. Our objective was to economically hedge the purchase price for the pending acquisition of the global industrial adhesives business of Forbo Group after the price was established. The currency contracts were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. For the 26 weeks ended June 2, 2012, the net gain on the forward currency contracts was $11,621 which partially offset other acquisition and transformation related costs.

During the 13 weeks ended June 1, 2013, we incurred workforce reduction costs of $3,697, other related costs of $1,995, cash facility exit costs of $2,316 and non-cash facility exit costs of $951 related to the Business Integration Project. During the 26 weeks ended June 1, 2013, we incurred workforce reduction costs of $4,181, other related costs of $2,773, cash facility exit costs of $3,714 and non-cash facility exit costs of $1,342 related to the Business Integration Project. During the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended June 2, 2012, we incurred workforce reduction costs of $19,567 and $23,522, respectively, other related costs of $316 and $557, respectively and non-cash facility exit costs of $1,153 and $1,496, respectively related to the Business Integration Project.

For the 26 weeks ended June 1, 2013, the activity in accrued compensation associated with the Business Integration Project, is as follows:


	Workforce Reduction Costs
Balance at December 1, 2012	$	19,848
Restructuring charges		4,181
Cash payments		(5,994	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(92	)

Balance at June 1, 2013	$	17,943

Of the $17,943 in accrued restructuring costs at June 1, 2013, $17,380 was included in accrued compensation and $563 was included in other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as this portion is not expected to be paid within the next year. In Europe, the accrued restructuring charges included statutory minimum amounts for one site for which final agreement has not been reached with the works council and communicated to the affected employees as well as amounts being accrued ratably for four sites in which works council agreements have been reached. At the communication date to employees, final termination benefits will be measured and will be recognized ratably over the service period employees are required to work to be eligible for termination benefits. In North America and Asia, the benefits were accrued based primarily on the formal severance plans in place for the various locations. The restructuring costs are not allocated to our operating segments.

Note 9: Financial Instruments

As a result of being a global enterprise, our earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to foreign currency risk from foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. These items are denominated in various foreign currencies, including the Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Swiss franc, Argentine peso, Brazilian real, Colombian peso, Mexican peso, Turkish lira, Egyptian pound, Indian rupee and Malaysian ringgit.

Our objective is to balance, where possible, local currency denominated assets to local currency denominated liabilities to have a natural hedge and minimize foreign exchange impacts. We take steps to minimize risks from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative instruments. We do not enter into any speculative positions with regard to derivative instruments.

We enter into derivative contracts with a group of investment grade multinational commercial banks. We evaluate the credit quality of each of these banks on a periodic basis as warranted.

Effective March 5, 2012, we entered into two cross-currency swap agreements to convert a notional amount of $151,598 of foreign currency denominated intercompany loans into US dollars. One of the cross-currency swaps matures in 2014 and the other swap matures in 2015. As of June 1, 2013, the combined fair value of the swaps were an asset of $1,769 and were included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The swaps were designated as cash-flow hedges for accounting treatment. The lesser amount between the cumulative change in the fair value of the actual swaps and the cumulative change in the fair value of hypothetical swaps is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The difference between the cumulative change in the fair value of the actual swaps and the cumulative change in the fair value of hypothetical swaps are recorded as other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In a perfectly effective hedge relationship, the two fair value calculations would exactly offset each other. Any difference in the calculation represents hedge ineffectiveness. The ineffectiveness calculations as of June 1, 2013 resulted in additional pre-tax gain of $6 year-to-date as the change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps was more than the change in the fair value of the hypothetical swaps. The amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to cross-currency swaps was a loss of $205 at June 1, 2013. The estimated net amount of the existing loss that is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at June 1, 2013 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is $163. At June 1, 2013, we believe the original forecasted transactions will occur, therefore, we do not believe any gains or losses will be reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of these cash flow hedges.

The following table summarizes the cross-currency swaps outstanding as of June 1, 2013:


	Fiscal Year of Expiration		Interest Rate			Notional Value		Fair Value
Pay EUR		2014		4.15	%	$	52,860	$	833
Receive USD				4.30	%
Pay EUR		2015		4.30	%	$	98,738	$	936
Receive USD				4.45	%

Total						$	151,598	$	1,769

Except for the two cross currency swap agreements listed above, foreign currency derivative instruments outstanding are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The gains and losses related to mark-to-market adjustments are recognized as other income or expense in the income statement during the periods in which the derivative instruments are outstanding. See Note 14 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for fair value amounts of these derivative instruments.

As of June 1, 2013, we had forward foreign currency contracts maturing between June 5, 2013 and November 1, 2013. The mark-to-market effect associated with these contracts, on a net basis, was a gain of $481 at June 1, 2013. These gains were largely offset by the underlying transaction gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency exposures for which these contracts relate.

We have interest rate swap agreements to convert $75,000 of our Senior Notes to variable interest rates. The change in fair value of the Senior Notes, attributable to the change in the risk being hedged, was a liability of $6,909 at June 1, 2013 and was included in long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of the swaps in total were an asset of $7,133 at June 1, 2013 and were included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The swaps were designated for hedge accounting treatment as fair value hedges. The changes in the fair value of the swap and the fair value of the Senior Notes attributable to the change in the risk being hedged are recorded as other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In a perfectly effective hedge relationship, the two fair value calculations would exactly offset each other. Any difference in the calculation represents hedge ineffectiveness. The calculation as of June 1, 2013 resulted in additional pre-tax loss of $387 year-to-date as the fair value of the interest rate swaps decreased by more than the change in the fair value of the Senior Notes attributable to the change in the risk being hedged.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of entities in the customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and countries. As of June 1, 2013, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters. From time to time, we become aware of compliance matters relating to, or receive notices from, federal, state or local entities regarding possible or alleged violations of environmental, health or safety laws and regulations. We review the circumstances of each individual site, considering the number of parties involved, the level of potential liability or contribution of us relative to the other parties, the nature and magnitude of the hazardous substances involved, the method and extent of remediation, the estimated legal and consulting expense with respect to each site and the time period over which any costs would likely be incurred. Also, from time to time, we are identified as a “potentially responsible party” (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and/or similar state laws that impose liability for costs relating to the clean up of contamination resulting from past spills, disposal or other release of hazardous substances. We are also subject to similar laws in some of the countries where current and former facilities are located. Our environmental, health and safety department monitors compliance with applicable laws on a global basis. To the extent we can reasonably estimate the amount of our probable liabilities for environmental matters, we establish a financial provision.

Currently we are involved in various environmental investigations, clean up activities and administrative proceedings and lawsuits. In particular, we are currently deemed a PRP in conjunction with numerous other parties, in a number of government enforcement actions associated with hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, we may be required to pay a share of the costs of investigation and clean up of these sites. In addition, we are engaged in environmental remediation and monitoring efforts at a number of current and former operating facilities. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of the ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, we have concluded that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

Other Legal Proceedings. From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we are a party to, or a target of, lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including product liability, personal injury, contract, patent and intellectual property, environmental, health and safety, tax and employment matters. While we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters, we have concluded, based upon currently available information, that the ultimate resolution of any pending matter, individually or in the aggregate, including the asbestos litigation described in the following paragraphs, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to products containing asbestos manufactured more than 30 years ago. The plaintiffs generally bring these lawsuits against multiple defendants and seek damages (both actual and punitive) in very large amounts. In many cases, plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any compensable injuries or that the injuries suffered were the result of exposure to products manufactured by us. We are typically dismissed as a defendant in such cases without payment. If the plaintiff presents evidence indicating that compensable injury occurred as a result of exposure to our products, the case is generally settled for an amount that reflects the seriousness of the injury, the length, intensity and character of exposure to products containing asbestos, the number and solvency of other defendants in the case, and the jurisdiction in which the case has been brought.

A significant portion of the defense costs and settlements in asbestos-related litigation is paid by third parties, including indemnification pursuant to the provisions of a 1976 agreement under which we acquired a business from a third party. Currently, this third party is defending and paying settlement amounts, under a reservation of rights, in most of the asbestos cases tendered to the third party.

In addition to the indemnification arrangements with third parties, we have insurance policies that generally provide coverage for asbestos liabilities (including defense costs). Historically, insurers have paid a significant portion of our defense costs and settlements in asbestos-related litigation. However, certain of our insurers are insolvent. We have entered into cost-sharing agreements with our insurers that provide for the allocation of defense costs and, in some cases, settlements and judgments, in asbestos-related lawsuits. Under these agreements, we are required in some cases to fund a share of settlements and judgments allocable to years in which the responsible insurer is insolvent. In addition, to delineate our rights under certain insurance policies, in October 2009, we commenced a declaratory judgment action against one of our insurers in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Additional insurers have been brought into the action to address issues related to the scope of their coverage.

A summary of the number of and settlement amounts for asbestos-related lawsuits and claims is as follows:


	26 Weeks Ended				3 Years Ended
($ in thousands)	June 1, 2013		June 2, 2012		December 1, 2012
Lawsuits and claims settled		—		8			20
Settlement amounts	$	—	$	490		$	1,535
Insurance payments received or expected to be received	$	—	$	350		$	1,174

We do not believe that it would be meaningful to disclose the aggregate number of asbestos-related lawsuits filed against us because relatively few of these lawsuits are known to involve exposure to asbestos-containing products that we manufactured. Rather, we believe it is more meaningful to disclose the number of lawsuits that are settled and result in a payment to the plaintiff. To the extent we can reasonably estimate the amount of our probable liabilities for pending asbestos-related claims, we establish a financial provision and a corresponding receivable for insurance recoveries.

Note 11: Operating Segments

We are required to report segment information in the same way that we internally organize our business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources. We evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments based on segment operating income, which is defined as gross profit less selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. Segment operating income excludes special charges, net. Corporate expenses are fully allocated to each operating segment. Corporate assets are not allocated to the segments. Inter-segment revenues are recorded at cost plus a markup for administrative costs. Operating results of each segment are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

The net revenue and segment operating income of the industrial adhesives business acquired in 2012 was recorded in our North America Adhesives, EIMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific operating segments.

The tables below provide certain information regarding the net revenue and segment operating income of each of our operating segments:

Note 14: Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 1, 2013 and December 1, 2012, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Note 15: Share Repurchase Program

On September 30, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100,000 of our outstanding common shares. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares for cash on the open market, from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, or through an accelerated repurchase agreement. The timing of such repurchases is dependent on price, market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. Upon repurchase of the shares, we reduced our common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess being applied against additional paid-in capital.

During the second quarter of 2013 we repurchased shares under this program, with an aggregate value of $4,775. Of this amount, $125 reduced common stock and $4,650 reduced additional paid-in capital. There were no shares repurchased under this program during the first quarter of 2013 or the first six months of 2012.

Note 16: Impairment of Long-lived Asset

During the second quarter of 2012, we determined the fair value of one of our cost basis investments was lower than the investment value on our balance sheet based on investor approval of a buy-out offer from the majority shareholder. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $671.

Note 17: Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

We account for the non-controlling interest in H.B. Fuller Kimya San. Tic A.S. (HBF Kimya) as a redeemable non-controlling interest because both the non-controlling shareholder and H.B. Fuller have an option, exercisable beginning August 1, 2018, to require the redemption of the shares owned by the non-controlling shareholder at a price determined by a formula based on 24 months trailing EBITDA. Since the option makes the redemption of the non-controlling ownership shares of HBF Kimya outside of our control, these shares are classified as a redeemable non-controlling interest in temporary equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The option is subject to a minimum price of €3,500. The redemption value of the option, if it were currently redeemable, is estimated to be €3,500.

HBF Kimya’s results of operations are consolidated in our financial statements. Both the non-controlling interest and the accretion adjustment to redemption value are included in income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and in the carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. HBF Kimya’s functional currency is the Turkish lira and changes in exchange rates will affect the reported amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest. As of June 1, 2013 the redeemable non-controlling interest was:


Balance at December 1, 2012	$	3,981
Net income attributed to redeemable non-controlling interest		161
Accretion adjustment to redemption value		48
Distributions to non-controlling shareholder		(244	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment		2

Balance at June 1, 2013	$	3,948

Note 18: Subsequent Event

On June 6, 2013 we completed the purchase of Plexbond Quimica, S.A., a provider of chemical polyurethane specialties and polyester resins, for approximately $12,000. Plexbond Quimica, S.A. operates a manufacturing facility in Curitiba, Brazil. The acquisition will be recorded in our Latin America operating segment.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 1, 2012 for important background information related to our business.

We completed the acquisition of the Forbo industrial adhesives business on March 5, 2012. The Forbo industrial adhesives business acquired is referred to as the “acquired business” in the MD&A.

Net revenue in the second quarter of 2013 decreased 1.5 percent over the second quarter of 2012. Pricing increased 0.2 percent offset by 1.4 percent decrease in sales volume. The weakening of the Euro for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 were the main drivers of the negative 0.3 percent currency effect compared to the U.S. dollar. Gross profit margin improved by 230 basis points driven by synergies from integrating the acquired business, other profit margin improvement initiatives over the past year and the recognition of the non-cash charge for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of the acquisition which reduced gross profit margin 60 basis points in the second quarter of 2012. We incurred special charges, net of $10.8 million for costs related to the Business Integration Project in the second quarter of 2013 and $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Net income attributable to H.B. Fuller in the second quarter of 2013 was $25.9 million as compared to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2012. The 2012 net income attributable to H.B. Fuller includes a loss of $3.1 million from discontinued operations, net of tax or $0.06 diluted per share. On a diluted earnings per share basis, the second quarter of 2013 was $0.51 per share as compared to $0.04 per share for the same period last year.

Net revenue in the first six months of 2013 increased 14.5 percent over the first six months of 2012. Organic growth, which we define as revenue growth due to changes in sales volume and selling prices, was 0.5 percent as compared to the first six months of 2012. The organic growth consisted of 0.5 percent higher pricing with no percentage change in volume. Inclusion of the acquired business increased net revenue by approximately $121.8 million. Gross profit margin improved by 60 basis points driven by synergies from integrating the acquired business. Our SG&A expenses increased by 14.0 percent in the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period last year, however, SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 10 basis points. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to the inclusion of the acquired business. We incurred special charges, net of $16.2 million for costs related to the Business Integration Project in the first six months of 2013 and $38.6 million in the first six months of 2012.

Net income attributable to H.B. Fuller in the first six months of 2013 was $46.6 million as compared to $17.2 million in the first six months of 2012. The 2012 net income attributable to H.B. Fuller includes a $1.3 million loss from discontinued operations, net of tax or $0.03 diluted per share. On a diluted earnings per share basis, the first six months of 2013 was $0.91 per share as compared to $0.34 per share for the same period last year.

Results of Operations

Net revenue:


	13 Weeks Ended							26 Weeks Ended
	June 1,		June 2,		2013 vs			June 1,		June 2,		2013 vs
($ in millions)	2013		2012		2012			2013		2012		2012
Net revenue	$	519.0	$	527.0		(1.5	%)	$	998.9	$	872.4		14.5	%

We review variances in net revenue in terms of changes related to product pricing, sales volume, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions. The pricing/sales volume variance and small niche acquisitions including Engent which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2012 are viewed as organic growth. The following table shows the net revenue variance analysis for the second quarter and six months compared to the same period in 2012:


	13 Weeks Ended			26 Weeks Ended
	June 1, 2013			June 1, 2013
Product pricing		0.2	%		0.5	%
Sales volume		(1.4	%)		0.0	%
Currency		(0.3	%)		0.0	%
Acquisitions		0.0	%		14.0	%

		(1.5	%)		14.5	%

Product pricing increased 0.2 percent offset by decreased sales volume of 1.4 percent for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period last year. The negative currency effects in the quarter were primarily the result of the weakening of the Euro compared to the U.S dollar.

Year-to-date organic growth was 0.5 percent with increased product pricing of 0.5 percent with no percentage change in volume for the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period last year. The organic growth was driven by growth in the North America Adhesives, Construction Products, and Asia Pacific operating segments. Currency changes had no year-to-date effects in 2013. The inclusion of the acquired business added $121.8 million to net revenue.

Cost of sales:


	13 Weeks Ended									26 Weeks Ended
	June 1,			June 2,			2013 vs			June 1,			June 2,			2013 vs
($ in millions)	2013			2012			2012			2013			2012			2012
Raw materials	$	295.4		$	308.5			(4.2	%)	$	567.1		$	501.5			13.1	%
Other manufacturing costs		77.0			81.9			(6.0	%)		151.8			131.7			15.3	%

Cost of sales	$	372.4		$	390.4			(4.6	%)	$	718.9		$	633.2			13.5	%
Percent of net revenue		71.8	%		74.1	%					72.0	%		72.6	%

The 4.6 percent decrease in cost of sales in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 was driven by the integration of the acquired business. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue decreased 230 basis points primarily driven by synergies from integrating the acquired business and the recognition of the non-cash charge for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of the acquisition which increased cost of sales by 60 basis points in the second quarter of 2012. Raw material costs as a percentage of sales decreased 160 basis points relative to the prior year, reflecting material cost synergies, other profit improvement initiatives undertaken over the last twelve months and the recognition of the non-cash charge which increased raw material costs as a percentage of sales by 60 basis points in the second quarter of 2012. Other manufacturing costs as a percentage of revenue decreased by 70 basis points as benefits of the manufacturing network consolidation projects within the Business Integration Project were realized. We expect raw material costs to remain at or near second quarter exit levels through the end of this year.

The 13.5 percent increase in cost of sales for the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012 was driven by the inclusion of the acquired business. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue decreased 60 basis points primarily driven by synergies from integrating the acquired business. Raw material costs as a percentage of sales decreased 70 basis points relative to the prior year, reflecting material cost synergies and other profit improvement initiatives undertaken over the last twelve months. Other manufacturing costs as a percentage of revenue increased by 10 basis points compared to last year; this ratio is expected to improve over the next three quarters as the benefits of the manufacturing network consolidation projects within the Business Integration Project are completed.

Gross profit:

Gross profit	$	146.6		$	136.6			7.4	%	$	280.0		$	239.2			17.0	%
Percent of net revenue		28.2	%		25.9	%					28.0	%		27.4	%

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $10.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 and gross profit margin improved by 230 basis points driven by synergies from integrating the acquired business, other profit margin improvement initiatives over the past year and the recognition of the non-cash charge for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of the acquisition which reduced gross profit margin 60 basis points in the second quarter of 2012.

Gross profit for the first six months of 2013 increased by $40.8 million compared to the first six months of 2012 and gross profit margin improved by 60 basis points. The synergies from integrating the acquired business were the primary reason for the margin improvement.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses:


	13 Weeks Ended									26 Weeks Ended
	June 1,			June 2,			2013 vs			June 1,			June 2,			2013 vs
($ in millions)	2013			2012			2012			2013			2012			2012
SG&A	$	93.8		$	93.0			0.9	%	$	191.4		$	168.0			14.0	%
Percent of net revenue		18.1	%		17.6	%					19.2	%		19.3	%

SG&A expenses increased $0.8 million or 0.9 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue increased 50 basis points due to the slight decline in period over period revenue.

SG&A expenses increased $23.4 million or 14.0 percent compared to the first six months of 2012. The lower relative cost structure of the acquired business and the increased net revenue resulted in the 10 basis point decrease in SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue.

We make SG&A expense plans at the beginning of each fiscal year and barring significant changes in business conditions or our outlook for the future, we maintain these spending plans for the entire year. Management routinely monitors our SG&A spending relative to these fiscal year plans for each operating segment and for the company overall. We feel it is important to maintain a consistent spending program in this area as many of the activities within the SG&A category such as the sales force, technology development, and customer service are critical elements of our business strategy. For the current year we have planned SG&A expenses to increase relative to last year by an amount slightly less than our expected growth in net revenue. Our analysis of the impact of our SG&A spending in the quarter is generally focused on spending variances that are significantly above or below this planned level.

The integration of the acquired business involves a significant amount of restructuring and capital investment to optimize the new combined entity. In addition to this acquisition, we announced our intentions to take a series of actions in our existing EIMEA operating segment to improve the profitability and future growth prospects of this operating segment. We have combined these two initiatives into a single project which we refer to as the “Business Integration Project”. During the 13 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, we incurred special charges, net of $10.8 million and $32.1 million respectively, for costs related to the Business Integration Project. During the 26 weeks ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, we incurred special charges, net of $16.2 million and $38.6 million respectively, for costs related to the Business Integration Project.

Acquisition and transformation related costs of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 and $11.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 include costs related to organization consulting, investment advisory, financial advisory, legal and valuation services necessary to acquire and integrate the acquired business into our existing operating segments. We incurred acquisition and transformation related costs of $4.2 million for the first six months of 2013 and $13.0 million for the same period last year. For the 26 weeks ended June 2, 2012, acquisition and transformation related costs included an expense to make a bridge loan available, an expense related to the purchase of a foreign currency option to hedge a portion of the acquisition purchase price and the net gain on the forward currency contracts used to economically hedge the purchase price for the pending acquisition of the global industrial adhesives business of Forbo Group after the price was established.

The Business Integration Project is a broad-based transformation plan involving all major processes in three of our existing operating segments. The integration strategy and execution plan is unique for each operating segment reflecting the differences within operating segments as well as differences within the acquired business in each geographic region. In the North America Adhesives operating segment, the integration work is essentially a consolidation of two similar businesses. The production capacity of the two organizations is being optimized mostly by transferring volume from the acquired business to existing facilities within the North America Adhesives operating segment. In the EIMEA operating segment, the Business Integration Project impacts more aspects of the business and is more complex. The two businesses being combined have similar inefficiencies and opportunities for improved productivity, generally due to excess complexity within the core processes of each of the businesses. This portion of the project will require more capital investment, higher restructuring and severance costs and a longer time frame when compared to the North America Adhesives portion of the project. In the Asia Pacific operating segment, the Business Integration Project is less complex because the acquired business in that region was relatively small. The focus of the integration work in this region is to build a solid foundation for growth in the commercial and technical areas and create a more efficient production network in China.

The benefits of the Business Integration Project are expected to be substantial. We have plans to create annual cash cost savings and other cash pre-tax profit improvement benefits aggregating to $90.0 million when the various integration activities are completed in 2014. By 2015, the Business Integration Project activities are expected to improve the EBITDA margin of the global business from just under 11 percent in 2011 to a target level of 15 percent. The project incorporates many different work streams each of which has a specific timeline for completion and delivery of benefits. Some of the initiatives, such as raw material cost reductions, have delivered immediate benefits while other initiatives, such as facility closures, will take longer to implement and the related cost savings will be achieved later in the project. Taking the expected impact of all initiatives into account, the profit improvement benefits should drive steady annual improvement in EBITDA margin until the target level is achieved in 2015.

The total costs, excluding capital expenditures, to achieve these benefits are expected to be approximately $121.0 million of which $76.2 million have been expensed since inception of the Business Integration Project in 2011. The remaining expected costs of approximately $44.8 million will occur over the next several quarters through the end of 2014. The following table provides detail of costs incurred and future expected costs of the Business Integration Project:


	As of June 1, 2013
($ in millions)	Costs Incurred Inception-to- Date		Expected Costs Remaining		Total Expected Costs
Acquisition and transformation related costs	$	29.9	$	5.1	$	35.0
Work force reduction costs		32.3		20.7		53.0
Cash facility exit costs		4.7		12.3		17.0
Non-cash facility exit costs		4.5		1.5		6.0
Other related costs		4.8		5.2		10.0

Business Integration Project	$	76.2	$	44.8	$	121.0

The remaining expected Business Integration Project costs of $44.8 million will be incurred as the measures are implemented, and will total approximately $27.8 million in fiscal year 2013 and approximately $17.0 million in fiscal year 2014. The costs associated with the acquisition integration and the cash costs of the restructuring are incremental cash outlays that will be funded with existing cash and cash generated from operations. Non-cash costs are primarily related to accelerated depreciation of long-lived assets.

The capital expenditures related to the Business Integration Project will be significant. In 2012 we spent approximately $36.0 million in capital expenditures. As the project has progressed and the scope of the various projects are more fully defined, we expect capital expenditures to reach $110.0 million in 2013 and the aggregate of spending in the years 2014 and 2015 is expected to be $100.0 million. This capital spending forecast for all projects including the Business Integration Project is consistent with our original forecast. This capital spending program will be funded from the operating cash flows of the business and if necessary, from available cash and short-term borrowing.

Going forward, we plan to report our progress on achieving our profit improvement initiatives each quarter. We will focus on three key metrics which capture the bulk of the Business Integration Project objectives: (1) cost savings achieved through workforce reductions, (2) cost reductions achieved through facility closures and consolidation, and (3) the EBITDA margin of the business relative to our expected trend over the timeframe of the project. In addition, the costs to achieve these benefits will be reported in each reporting period, relative to the $121.0 million total expected cost estimate.

For the quarter ended June 1, 2013, we achieved cost savings of $3.6 million related to workforce reductions and $3.1 million related to facility closures and consolidations. The above cost savings represent benefits from selected activities included in the Business Integration Project. EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 12.9 percent is consistent with our plan.

Operating Segment Results

Our operations are managed through five reportable segments: North America Adhesives, Construction Products, EIMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific. Operating results of each of these segments are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

The tables below provide certain information regarding the net revenue and segment operating income of each of our operating segments. The pricing/sales volume variance is viewed as organic growth. For segment evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, segment operating income is defined as gross profit less SG&A expenses and excludes special charges, net.

Total		(1.4	%)		16.5	%

Net revenue decreased 1.4 percent in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. Pricing increased 0.1 percent offset by a 1.4 percent decrease in sales volume and negative currency effects of 0.1 percent compared to last year. The sales volume decline was driven by changes in product mix combined with a generally sluggish end market demand environment. Segment operating income increased 13.3 percent and segment profit margin increased 190 basis points in the quarter. Raw material cost as a percentage of net revenue was 260 basis points lower driven by synergies from integrating the acquired business and other profit margin improvement initiatives over the past year. The second quarter of 2012 included the recognition of the non-cash charge for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition which increased cost of sales by 30 basis points. The higher gross margin was offset by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue compared to the second quarter of 2012.

Net revenue increased 16.5 percent in the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012. Pricing increased 0.5 percent offset by a 0.4 percent decrease in sales volume compared to last year. The acquired business added approximately $51.0 million to net revenue. The increase in pricing reflected the cumulative impact of price increases implemented over the past year to offset raw material cost inflation. The sales volume decline was the result of changes in product mix combined with a generally sluggish end market demand environment. Segment operating income increased 21.9 percent for the first six months and segment profit margin increased 60 basis points. Raw material cost as a percentage of net revenue decreased 170 basis points as a result of synergies from integrating the acquired business and other profit margin improvement initiatives over the past year. The higher gross margin was offset by slightly higher manufacturing costs and SG&A expenses as a percent of revenue compared to the prior year.

Organic growth		8.2	%		6.6	%

Net revenue was up 8.2 percent in the second quarter of 2013 driven by an 8.5 percent increase in volume combined with a 0.3 percent decrease in pricing compared to the second quarter last year. The increase in sales volume was primarily attributed to continued market share gains with several key retail partners. The volume increase this year is an encouraging sign that the overall market is continuing to slowly improve. Segment operating income increased by 28.6 percent and segment profit margin increased by 150 basis points in the second quarter compared to the same period last year. Raw material costs as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 120 basis points lower in 2013 relative to the prior year primarily due to changes in the mix of products sold and reformulations. The improvement in segment profit margin was driven by improved gross margins offset by slightly higher manufacturing costs and administrative costs as a percentage of net revenue.

Net revenue was up 6.6 percent in the first six months of 2013 driven by a 6.6 percent increase in volume with no percentage change in pricing compared to last year. The increase in sales volume was primarily attributed to continued market share gains with several key retail partners. Segment operating income increased 49.5 percent and segment profit margin increased 200 basis points in the first six months compared to the same period last year. Raw material costs as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 40 basis points lower in 2013 relative to the prior year primarily due to changes in the mix of products sold.

Net revenue decreased 1.1 percent in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. Sales volume increased 0.1 percent and product pricing decreased 1.2 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Price levels have declined as raw material costs have declined across the region. Raw material costs as a percentage of net revenue were essentially unchanged relative to the prior quarter and last year. Lower net revenue and a 60 basis points increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue caused operating income margin to decrease relative to the prior year.

Net revenue decreased 0.7 percent in the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012. Sales volume decreased 0.8 percent and product pricing decreased 0.9 percent compared to the same period last year. Net revenue increased $0.7 million from the acquired business. Volume declined in certain market segments and geographies, primarily due to erosion of share with certain customers. Raw material costs as a percentage of net revenue increased by 40 basis points relative to last year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue were flat compared to the first six months of 2012 which caused operating income margin to decrease slightly relative to the prior year.

Net revenue in the second quarter of 2013 increased 1.1 percent compared to the second quarter last year. Organic growth was 0.3 percent in the quarter reflecting a 3.2 percent increase in sales volume offset by a 2.9 percent decrease in pricing. Price levels have declined as raw material costs have declined across the region. Volume growth patterns remain consistent with recent quarters with China and Southeast Asia showing growth while Australia markets are relatively flat. In terms of market segments, volume growth continues in consumer goods markets such as packaging while other more cyclical markets are down year over year. Segment operating income increased $0.7 million in the quarter and segment profit margin increased 110 basis points. Raw material costs as a percentage of net revenue were flat compared to both the second quarter of last year and the first quarter of 2013. The second quarter of 2012 included the recognition of the non-cash charge for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition which increased cost of sales by 30 basis points. Both manufacturing costs and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased compared to the second quarter of last year and the prior quarter.

Net revenue for the first six months of 2013 increased 11.5 percent compared to the first six months of last year. Organic growth was 1.6 percent in the first six months reflecting a 3.7 percent increase in sales volume offset by a 2.1 percent decrease in pricing.

Segment operating income increased $1.9 million and segment profit margin increased 130 basis points in the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012. Raw material costs as a percentage of net revenue increased 40 basis points in the first six months relative to the prior year. The year over year change was primarily due to the dilutive effect of the lower margin acquired business. Both manufacturing costs as a percentage of net revenue and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue declined compared to the first six months of last year.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total cash and cash equivalents as of June 1, 2013 were $161.2 million as compared to $200.4 million as of December 1, 2012 and $154.3 million as of June 2, 2012. Of the $161.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 1, 2013, $152.9 million was held outside the United States. Total long and short-term debt was $496.4 million as of June 1, 2013, $520.2 million as of December 1, 2012 and $616.8 million as of June 2, 2012. The total debt to total capital ratio as measured by Total Debt divided by (Total Debt plus Total Equity) was 37.8 percent as of June 1, 2013 as compared to 40.1 percent as of December 1, 2012 and 46.8 percent as of June 2, 2012. The lower ratio as of June 1, 2013 compared to December 1, 2012 and June 2, 2012 was due to lower quarter-end debt levels.

We believe that cash flows from operating activities will be adequate to meet our ongoing liquidity and capital expenditure needs. In addition, we believe we have the ability to obtain both short-term and long-term debt to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future. Cash available in the United States has historically been sufficient and we expect it will continue to be sufficient to fund U.S. operations and U.S. capital spending and U.S. pension and other post retirement benefit contributions in addition to funding U.S. acquisitions, dividend payments, debt service and share repurchases as needed. For those international earnings considered to be reinvested indefinitely, we currently have no intention to, and plans do not indicate a need to, repatriate these funds for U.S. operations.

Our credit agreements and note purchase agreements include restrictive covenants that, if not met, could lead to a renegotiation of our credit lines and a significant increase in our cost of financing. At June 1, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants of our contractual obligations as shown in the following table:


Covenant	Debt Instrument	Measurement	Result as of June 1, 2013
TTM EBITDA / TTM Interest Expense	All Debt Instruments	Not less than 2.5		11.4
Total Indebtedness / TTM EBITDA	All Debt Instruments	Not greater than 3.5		2.0

EBITDA for covenant purposes is defined as consolidated net income, plus (i) interest expense, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) non-cash impairment losses, (v) extraordinary non-cash losses incurred other than in the ordinary course of business, (vi) nonrecurring extraordinary non-cash restructuring charges, (vii) cash expenses for advisory services and for arranging financing for the Forbo Acquisition (including the non-cash write-off of deferred financing costs and any loss or expense on foreign exchange transactions intended to hedge the purchase price for the Forbo acquisition) with cash expenses not to exceed $25.0 million, and (viii) cash expenses incurred during fiscal years 2011 through 2014 in connection with facilities consolidation, restructuring and integration, discontinuance of operations, work force reduction, sale or abandonment of assets other than inventory, and professional and other fees incurred in connection with the Forbo acquisition or the restructuring of our EIMEA operations, not to exceed $85.0 million in the aggregate, and (x) not to exceed $65.0 million during fiscal year 2012 and (y) not to exceed $65.0 million during fiscal years 2013 and 2014 combined, minus extraordinary non-cash gains incurred other than in the ordinary course of business. For the Total Indebtedness / TTM EBITDA ratio, TTM EBITDA is adjusted for the pro forma results from Material Acquisitions and Material Divestitures as if the acquisition or divestiture occurred at the beginning of the calculation period. Additional detail is provided in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 5, 2012.

We believe we have the ability to meet all of our contractual obligations and commitments in fiscal 2013. Included in these obligations is the following scheduled debt payment:

•

$7.5 million payment on term loans, due June 19, 2013, was paid using existing cash.

Selected Metrics of Liquidity

Key metrics we monitor are net working capital as a percent of annualized net revenue, trade account receivable days sales outstanding (DSO), inventory days on hand, free cash flow and debt capitalization ratio.


	June 1,	June 2,
	2013	2012
Net working capital as a percentage of annualized net revenue¹	18.0%	16.8%
Accounts receivable DSO²	55 Days	52 Days
Inventory days on hand³	57 Days	51 Days
Free cash flow⁴	$(16.6) million	$14.3 million
Total debt to total capital ratio⁵	37.8%	46.8%

¹	Current quarter net working capital (trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts plus inventory minus trade payables) divided by annualized net revenue (current quarter multiplied by four).

²	Trade receivables net of the allowance for doubtful accounts at the balance sheet date multiplied by 56 (8 weeks) and divided by the net revenue for the last 2 months of the quarter.

³	Total inventory multiplied by 56 and divided by cost of sales (excluding delivery costs) for the last 2 months of the quarter.

⁴	Year-to-date net cash provided by (used in) operations from continuing operations, less purchased property, plant and equipment and dividends paid.

⁵	Total debt divided by (total debt plus total stockholders’ equity).

Another key metric is the return on invested capital, or ROIC. The calculation is represented by total return divided by total invested capital.

•

Total return is defined as: gross profit less SG&A expenses, less taxes at the effective tax rate plus income from equity method investments. Total return is calculated using trailing 12 month information.

•

Total invested capital is defined as the sum of notes payable, current maturities of long-term debt, long-term debt, redeemable non-controlling interest and total equity.

We believe ROIC provides a true measure of return on capital invested and is focused on the long term. The following table shows the ROIC calculations based on the definition above:


	Trailing 12 months			Trailing 12 months
($ in millions)	as of June 1, 2013			as of June 2, 2012
Gross profit	$	558.0		$	457.8
Selling, general and administrative expenses		(378.2	)		(316.7	)
Income taxes at effective rate		(53.2	)		(40.6	)
Income from equity method investments		9.0			9.0

Total return	$	135.6		$	109.5
Total invested capital		1,317.0			1,322.0
Return on invested capital		10.3	%		8.3	%

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash Flows from Operating Activities from Continuing Operations:


	26 Weeks Ended
	June 1,		June 2,
($ in millions)	2013		2012
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	40.7	$	34.8

Net income including non-controlling interests was $46.8 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to $17.3 million in the first six months of 2012. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $30.0 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to $26.0 million in the first six months of 2012. The higher depreciation and amortization in 2013 is related to depreciation and amortization of assets related to the acquired business. Accrued compensation was a use of cash of $12.0 million in 2013 compared to a source of cash of $7.5 million last year. The use of cash in 2013 is related to the timing of payments of severance related costs for the Business Integration Project. The source of cash in 2012 is related to the accrual of severance related costs as part of our Business Integration Project that had not been paid at the end of the second quarter. Other assets was a use of cash in 2013 of $9.0 million compared to a source of cash of $15.9 million last year. The use of cash in 2013 was primarily related to the increase in prepaid taxes and expenses. The 2012 source of cash was primarily related to the decrease in prepaid taxes. Income taxes payable was a use of cash of $8.2 million in the first six months of 2013 related to income tax payments.

Changes in net working capital (trade receivables, inventory and trade payables) accounted for a use of cash of $14.8 million compared to a use of cash of $34.7 million last year. The table below provides the cash flow impact due to changes in the components of net working capital:


	26 Weeks Ended
	June 1,			June 2,
($ in millions)	2013			2012
Trade receivables, net	$	1.2		$	(19.7	)
Inventory		(17.0	)		(26.8	)
Trade payables		1.0			11.8

Total cash flow impact	$	(14.8	)	$	(34.7	)

•

Trade Receivables, net – Trade Receivables, net was a source of cash of $1.2 million in 2013 compared to a use of cash of $19.7 million in 2012. The source of cash in 2013 compared to the use of cash in 2012 is related to lower sales activity in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. The DSO was 55 days at June 1, 2013 and 52 days at June 2, 2012.

•

Inventory – Inventory was a use of cash of $17.0 million in 2013 and $26.8 million in 2012. The 2013 use of cash is related to the normal seasonal building of inventory and increased inventory to support the manufacturing transitions as part of the Business Integration Project. The 2012 increase is related to the seasonal building of inventory in the first two quarters after the downward management of our inventory in the fourth quarter of 2011. Inventory days on hand were 57 days as of June 1, 2013 and 51 days as of June 2, 2012.

•

Trade Payables – For the first six months of 2013 and 2012 trade payables was a source of cash of $1.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The lower source of cash in 2013 reflects lower inventory purchases compared to 2012. The source of cash in 2012 was due to the increase in inventory purchases in the first half of 2012.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities from Continuing Operations:


	26 Weeks Ended
	June 1,			June 2,
($ in millions)	2013			2012
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(48.4	)	$	(416.9	)

Purchases of property, plant and equipment were $48.0 million in the first six months of 2013 as compared to $12.5 million for the same period of 2012. The increase in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily related to capital expenditures for the Business Integration Project. In the second quarter of 2013 we purchased technology for the use in electronics markets for $2.4 million. We acquired the global industrial adhesives business of Forbo Holding AG in 2012 for $404.7 million. In the first quarter of 2013, an adjustment of the purchase price for the Forbo industrial adhesives business acquisition reduced cash used in investing activities by $1.6 million. See Note 2 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities from Continuing Operations:


	26 Weeks Ended
	June 1,			June 2,
($ in millions)	2013			2012
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(31.0	)	$	380.9

Proceeds from long-term debt in the first six months of 2013 were $95.0 million. In the first six months of 2012 proceeds from long-term debt were $490.0 million of which $400.0 million was used for financing the acquisition. Repayments of long-term debt were $110.0 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to $103.1 million for the same period of 2012. Cash generated from the exercise of stock options was $4.4 million and $6.0 million for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Repurchases of common stock were $7.1 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to $1.3 million in the same period of 2012. The higher 2013 repurchases of common stock were due to $4.8 million of repurchases from our 2010 share repurchase program and higher repurchases related to statutory minimum tax withholding in conjunction with the vesting of restricted stock.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations:


	26 Weeks Ended
	June 1			June 2

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we discuss expectations regarding our future performance which include anticipated financial performance, savings from restructuring and process initiatives, global economic conditions, liquidity requirements, the impact of litigation and environmental matters, the effect of new accounting pronouncements and one-time accounting charges and credits, and similar matters. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be identified by the use of words like “plan,” “expect,” “aim,” “believe,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “should,” “could” (including the negative or variations thereof) and other expressions that indicate future events and trends. These plans and expectations are based upon certain underlying assumptions, including those mentioned with the specific statements. Such assumptions are in turn based upon internal estimates and analyses of current market conditions and trends, our plans and strategies, economic conditions and other factors. These plans and expectations and the assumptions underlying them are necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties inherent in projecting future conditions and results. Actual results could differ materially from expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements if one or more of the underlying assumptions and expectations proves to be inaccurate or is unrealized. In addition to the factors described in this report, Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 1, 2012, identify some of the important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in any such forward-looking statements. This list of important factors does not include all such factors nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we have identified these important factors which could affect our financial performance and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Additionally, the variety of products sold by us and the regions where we do business makes it difficult to determine with certainty the increases or decreases in revenues resulting from changes in the volume of products sold, currency impact, changes in geographic and product mix and selling prices. Our best estimates of these changes as well as changes in other factors have been included. References to volume changes include volume, product mix and delivery charges, combined. These factors should be considered, together with any similar risk factors or other cautionary language, which may be made elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We may refer to Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors and this section of the Form 10-Q to identify risk factors related to other forward looking statements made in oral presentations, including investor conferences and/or webcasts open to the public.

This disclosure, including that under “Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors,” and other forward-looking statements and related disclosures made by us in this report and elsewhere from time to time, represents our best judgment as of the date the information is given. We do not undertake responsibility for updating any of such information, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Investors are advised, however, to consult any further public company disclosures (such as in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in company press releases) on related subjects.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk: We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and prices of raw materials. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and cost of raw materials.

Our financial performance may be negatively affected by the unfavorable economic conditions. Recessionary economic conditions may have an adverse impact on our sales volumes, pricing levels and profitability. As domestic and international economic conditions change, trends in discretionary consumer spending also become unpredictable and subject to reductions due to uncertainties about the future. A general reduction in consumer discretionary spending due to recession in the domestic and international economies, or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Interest Rate Risk: Exposure to changes in interest rates result primarily from borrowing activities used to fund operations. Committed floating rate credit facilities are used to fund a portion of operations. We believe that probable near-term changes in interest rates would not materially affect financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The annual impact on interest expense of a one-percentage point interest rate change on the outstanding balance of our variable rate debt as of June 1, 2013 would be approximately $1.2 million or $0.02 per diluted share.

Foreign Exchange Risk: As a result of being a global enterprise, there is exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect operating results and financial condition. Approximately 58 percent of net revenue was generated outside of the United States for the first six months of 2013. Principal foreign currency exposures relate to the Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Swiss franc, Argentine peso, Brazilian real, Columbian peso, Mexican peso, Turkish lira, Egyptian pound, Indian rupee and Malaysian ringgit.

Our objective is to balance, where possible, local currency denominated assets to local currency denominated liabilities to have a natural hedge and minimize foreign exchange impacts. We enter into cross border transactions through importing and exporting goods to and from different countries and locations. These transactions generate foreign exchange risk as they create assets, liabilities and cash flows in currencies other than the local currency. This also applies to services provided and other cross border agreements among subsidiaries.

We take steps to minimize risks from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative instruments. We do not enter into any speculative positions with regard to derivative instruments.

From a sensitivity analysis viewpoint, based on the financial results of the first six months of 2013, and foreign currency balance sheet positions as of June 1, 2013, a hypothetical overall 10 percent change in the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a change in net income attributable to H.B. Fuller of approximately $3.0 million or $0.06 per diluted share.

Raw Materials: The principal raw materials used to manufacture products include resins, polymers, synthetic rubbers, vinyl acetate monomer and plasticizers. We generally avoid single source supplier arrangements for raw materials. While alternate supplies of most key raw materials are available, unplanned supplier production outages may lead to strained supply-demand situations for several key raw materials such as tackifyers and base polymers. There is also tightness in feed stream chemicals such as ethylene and propylene.

For the six months ended June 1, 2013, our single largest expenditure was the purchase of raw materials. Our objective is to purchase raw materials that meet both our quality standards and production needs at the lowest total cost. Most raw materials are purchased on the open market or under contracts that limit the frequency but not the magnitude of price increases. In some cases, however, the risk of raw material price changes is managed by strategic sourcing agreements which limit price increases to increases in supplier feedstock costs, while requiring decreases as feedstock costs decline. The leverage of having substitute raw materials approved for use wherever possible is used to minimize the impact of possible price increases.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a) Controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president and chief executive officer and senior vice president, chief financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, the president and chief executive officer and the senior vice president, chief financial officer concluded that, as of June 1, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Change in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

¹	The total number of shares purchased includes: (i) shares purchased under the board’s authorization described below and (ii) shares withheld to satisfy the employees’ withholding taxes upon vesting of restricted stock.

Repurchases of common stock are made to support our stock-based employee compensation plans and for other corporate purposes. Upon vesting of restricted stock awarded to employees, shares are withheld to cover the employees’ minimum withholding taxes.

On September 30, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common shares. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares for cash on the open market, from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, or through an accelerated repurchase agreement. The timing of such repurchases is dependent on price, market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. Upon repurchase of the shares, we reduced our common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess being applied against additional paid-in capital.
