LENNOX INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General:
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to we, our, us, LII or the Company
refer to Lennox International Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2009, the
accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statement of Stockholders
Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the accompanying unaudited Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 should be read in
conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all material
adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable
rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. The operating results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31 and our quarters are each comprised of 13 weeks. For
convenience, throughout these financial statements, the 13 weeks comprising each quarterly period
are denoted by the last day of the respective calendar quarter.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make
estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions
affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and
liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of
accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, legal
contingencies, guarantee obligations, indemnifications, and assumptions used in the calculation of
income taxes, pension and postretirement medical benefits, among others. These estimates and
assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgment.
We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and
other factors, including the current economic environment. We believe these estimates and
assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances and adjust such estimates and assumptions when
facts and circumstances dictate. Declines in the residential and commercial new construction
markets and other consumer spending and volatile equity, foreign currency, and commodity markets
have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future
events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ
significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in
the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain prior period expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
from Selling, General and Administrative Expenses to Cost of Goods Sold to conform to the current
periods presentation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These costs include global
sourcing and supplier development, product liability, workers compensation and property leases.
7
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revisions to Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 860 and will require more information about transfers of
financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing
exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a
qualifying special-purpose entity, provides for more restrictive requirements for derecognizing
financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. The changes will be effective January 1,
2010. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects of these changes
on our consolidated financial statements.
2. Accounts and Notes Receivable:
Accounts and Notes Receivable have been reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and net of accounts receivable sold under an
ongoing asset securitization arrangement. Detailed information regarding the allowance for doubtful
accounts is provided below (in millions):

Changes are primarily related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. |

5. Derivatives:
General
Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in commodity prices,
interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates, and we seek to mitigate a portion of these
risks by entering into derivative contracts. The derivatives we use are commodity futures
contracts, interest rate swaps, and currency forward contracts. We do not use derivatives for
speculative purposes.
The derivatives we enter into may be, but are not always, accounted for as hedges. To qualify
for hedge accounting, the derivatives must be highly effective in reducing the risk exposure that
they are designed to hedge, and it must be probable that the underlying transaction will occur. For
instruments designated as cash flow hedges, we must formally document, at inception, the
relationship between the derivative and the hedged item, the risk management objective, the hedging
strategy for use of the hedged instrument, and how hedge effectiveness is, and will be, assessed.
This documentation also includes linking the derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to
forecasted transactions. We assess hedge effectiveness at inception and at least quarterly
throughout the hedge designation period.
We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets, regardless of whether or not hedge accounting is applied. For more information on
the fair value of these derivative instruments, see Note 16. We report cash flows arising from our
hedging instruments consistent with the classification of cash flows from the underlying hedged
items. Accordingly, cash flows associated with our derivative programs are classified as operating
activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
We monitor our derivative positions and credit ratings of our counterparties and do not
anticipate losses due to counterparty non-performance.
Hedge Accounting
The derivatives that we use as hedges of commodity prices and movements in interest rates are
accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivatives
accounted for as hedges is recorded, net of applicable taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive
loss (AOCL), a component of Stockholders Equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
When earnings are affected by the variability of the underlying cash flow, the applicable
offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the derivatives that is deferred in AOCL is reclassified
into earnings into the same financial statement line item that the hedged item is recorded in.
Ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in earnings each period. If the hedging relationship ceases to
be highly effective, the net gain or loss shall remain in AOCL and will be reclassified into
earnings when earnings are affected by the variability of the underlying cash flow. If it becomes
probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified
period or within two months thereafter, the net gain or loss remaining in AOCL will be reclassified
to earnings immediately.
Accounting for Derivatives When Hedge Accounting is Not Applied
We may also enter into derivatives that economically hedge certain of our risks, even though
hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting to these instruments.
The changes in fair value of the derivatives act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value
of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of instruments not designated as cash flow
hedges are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported
in (Gains) Losses and Other Expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivative Instruments
Commodity Price Risk
We utilize a cash flow hedging program to mitigate the exposure to volatility in the prices of
metal commodities we use in our production processes. The hedging program includes the use of
futures contracts, and we enter into these contracts based on our hedging strategy. We use a
dollar cost averaging strategy for our hedge program. As part of this strategy, a higher
percentage of commodity price exposures are hedged near term
with lower percentages hedged at future dates. This strategy provides us with protection against
near-term price volatility caused by market speculators and market forces, such as supply
variation, while allowing us to adjust to market price movements over time. Upon entering into
futures contracts, we lock in prices and are subject to derivative losses should the metal
commodity prices decrease and gains should the prices increase. During 2008, metal commodity
prices decreased considerably in a short time period, which resulted in significant derivative loss
positions. As a result of these loss positions, we were required to post collateral of $37.9
million as of December 31, 2008. During the first three quarters of 2009, metal commodity prices
remained relatively stable and as a result our commodity contracts that were in loss positions at
December 31, 2008 have expired and we were no longer required to post collateral as of September
30, 2009. The collateral posted was treated as a prepaid expense and recorded in Other Assets in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized derivative losses were recorded in
AOCL.
9
Interest Rate Risk
The majority of our debt bears interest at variable interest rates and therefore we are
subject to variability in the cash paid for interest expense. In order to mitigate a portion of
this risk, we use a hedging strategy to eliminate the variability of cash flows in the interest
payments associated with the first $100 million of the total variable-rate debt outstanding under
our Credit Agreement that is solely due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. This strategy
allows us to fix a portion of our interest payments while also taking advantage of historically low
interest rates.
On June 12, 2009, we entered into a $100 million pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate
swap with a large financial institution at a fixed interest rate of 2.66%. The variable portion of
the interest rate swap is tied to the 1-Month LIBOR (the benchmark interest rate). The interest
rates under both the interest rate swap and the underlying debt are reset, the swap is settled with
the counterparty, and interest is paid, on a monthly basis. The interest rate swap expires October
12, 2012. We account for the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar
value of assets and liabilities arising in foreign currencies. Our objective for entering into
foreign currency forward contracts is to mitigate the impact of short-term currency exchange rate
movements on certain short-term intercompany transactions. In order to meet that objective, we
periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts that act as economic hedges against
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These forward contracts are not designated as hedges
and generally expire during the quarter that we entered into them.
Cash Flow Hedges
We include (gains) losses in AOCL in connection with our commodity cash flow hedges. The
(gains) losses related to commodity price hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings
within the next 18 months based on the prices of the commodities at settlement date. Assuming that
commodity prices remain constant, $2.9 million of derivative gains are expected to be reclassified
into earnings within the next 12 months. Commodity futures contracts that are designated as cash
flow hedges and are in place as of September 30, 2009 are scheduled to mature through December
2010.
The (gains) losses related to our interest rate swap are expected to be reclassified into
earnings within the next 37 months based on the term of the swap. Assuming that the benchmark
interest rate remains constant, $1.2 million of derivative losses are expected to be reclassified
into earnings within the next 12 months.
We recorded the following amounts related to our cash flow hedges (in millions):

Derivatives not Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
For commodity derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, we follow the same hedging
strategy as for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. We elect not to designate these
derivatives as cash flow hedges at inception of the arrangement. We had the following outstanding
commodity futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges (in millions):

6. Income Taxes:
As of September 30, 2009, we had approximately $7.5 million in total gross unrecognized tax
benefits. Of this amount, $5.3 million (net of federal benefit on state issues), if recognized,
would be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Also included in the balance of
unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2009 are liabilities of $1.0 million that, if
recognized, would be recorded as an adjustment to stockholders equity. As of September 30, 2009,
we had recognized $0.3 million (net of federal tax benefits) in interest and penalties in income
tax expense.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its examination of our consolidated tax returns
for the years ended 2004 and 2005 and issued a Revenue Agents Report (RAR) on July 31, 2008. The
IRS has proposed certain significant adjustments to our insurance deductions and research tax
credits. We disagree with the RAR, which is currently under review by the administrative appeals
division of the IRS, and anticipate resolution by the end of 2009. It is possible that a reduction
in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur, but an estimate of the impact on the Consolidated
Statement of Operations cannot be made at this time.
The IRS also completed its examination of our consolidated tax returns for the years ended
2006 and 2007 and issued an RAR on June 1, 2009. We reached a settlement with the IRS in the third
quarter that resulted in an immaterial impact to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
We are subject to examination by numerous taxing authorities in jurisdictions such as
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, and the United States. We are generally no longer subject to
U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2002.
Since January 1, 2009, numerous states, including Wisconsin, California, Virginia, North
Dakota, and Oregon, have enacted legislation effective for tax years beginning on or after January
1, 2009, including requirements for combined reporting, changes to apportionment methods, and
surtaxes. We believe any adjustments will be immaterial.
12
7. Commitments and Contingencies:
We are subject to contingencies that arise in the normal course of business, including product
warranties and other product-related contingencies, pending litigation, environmental matters, and
other guarantees or claims.
We use a combination of third-party insurance and self-insurance plans (large deductible or
captive) to provide protection against claims relating to contingencies such as workers
compensation, general liability, product liability, property damage, aviation liability, directors
and officers liability, auto liability, physical damage, and other exposures. Of these exposures,
we use self-insurance plans for workers compensation/employers liability, general liability,
product liability, and auto liability. Prior to the third quarter of 2009, these policies were
written through a third-party insurance provider, which was then reinsured by our captive insurance
subsidiary. Starting with the third quarter of 2009, these policies have been fronted by a
commercial insurance company, and we then pay the premium directly into our captive insurance
company. We believe that the liability limits retained by the captive are customary for a company
of our size and in our industry, and are appropriate for our business.
In addition, we use third-party insurance plans for property damage, aviation liability,
directors and officers liability, and other exposures. Each of these policies includes per
occurrence limits. However, we also carry umbrella or excess liability insurance for all
third-party and self-insurance plans, except for directors and officers liability and property
insurance. We believe the limit within our excess policy is adequate for a company of our size and
in our industry.
The self-insurance expense, and liabilities are actuarially determined based on our historical
claims information, as well as industry factors and trends, and because we have a captive insurance
company, we are required to maintain specified levels of liquid assets from which we must pay
claims. The majority of our self-insured risks (excluding auto liability and physical damage) will
be paid over an extended period of time. The self-insurance liabilities recorded in Accrued
Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets were $63.3 million at September 30, 2009
and $63.2 million as of December 31, 2008.
Total liabilities for estimated warranty are included in the following captions on the

At the end of each accounting period, we evaluate our warranty liabilities and during the
second quarter of
each year, we perform a complete reevaluation of our warranty liabilities. As a result of our
annual evaluation, we recorded a reduction in warranty liabilities in the second quarter of 2009
that is the principal amount contained within the changes in estimates associated with pre-existing
liabilities of $12.8 million above. The reduction to our warranty liabilities was principally
caused by lower than expected failure rates, reductions to future cost estimates, and new
experience data.
13
We incur the risk of liability claims for the installation and service of heating and air
conditioning products, and we maintain liabilities for those claims that we self-insure. We are
involved in various claims and lawsuits related to our products. Our product liability insurance
policies have limits that, if exceeded, may result in substantial costs that could have an adverse
effect on our results of operations. In addition, warranty claims are not covered by our product
liability insurance and certain product liability claims may also not be covered by our product
liability insurance. There have been no material changes in the circumstances since our latest
fiscal year-end.
We also may incur costs related to our products that may not be covered under our warranties
and are not covered by insurance, and we may, from time to time, repair or replace installed
products experiencing quality issues in order to satisfy our customers and to protect our brand.
These product quality issues may be caused by vendor-supplied components that fail to meet required
specifications. We have identified a product quality issue in a heating and cooling product line
produced during a limited time period that we believe results from a vendor-supplied component that
failed to meet required specifications. During the first nine months of 2009, we have recorded an expense of $5.1 million for the portion
of the issue that is probable and can be reliably estimated based upon the current data available. The expense for this product quality issue, and the related
liability, is not included in the tables related to our estimated warranty liabilities. We are working to determine the scope and nature of the issue. Any additional liability resulting
from the product quality issue and any related recovery from the vendor cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.
We estimate the costs to settle pending litigation based on experience involving similar
claims and specific facts known. We do not believe that any current or pending or threatened
litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Litigation and
arbitration, however, involve uncertainties and it is possible that the eventual outcome of
litigation could adversely affect our results of operations for a particular period.
Applicable environmental laws can potentially impose obligations to remediate hazardous
substances at our properties, at properties formerly owned or operated by us, and at facilities to
which we have sent or send waste for treatment or disposal. We are aware of contamination at some
facilities; however, we do not presently believe that any future remediation costs at such
facilities will be material to our results of operations. There have been no material changes to
the reserve balances since our latest fiscal year-end.
On June 22, 2006, we entered into an agreement with a financial institution to lease our
corporate headquarters in Richardson, Texas for a term of seven years (the Lake Park Lease). The
leased property consists of an office building of approximately 192,000 square feet, land and
related improvements. Our obligations under the Lake Park Lease are secured by a pledge of our
interest in the leased property and are also guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. The
Lake Park Lease, as amended, contains restrictive covenants that are consistent with those of our
domestic revolving credit facility. We are in compliance with these financial covenants as of
September 30, 2009.

Domestic promissory notes bear interest at 8.00% and mature in 2010. |

As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $142.5 million and an additional
$95.9 million committed to standby letters of credit under our $650.0 million domestic revolving
credit facility. All of the remaining $411.6 million was available for future borrowings. The
facility matures in October 2012.
Our domestic revolving credit facility includes a subfacility for swingline loans of up to
$50.0 million and provides for the issuance of letters of credit for the full amount available
under the domestic revolving credit facility. Our weighted average borrowing rate on the domestic
revolving credit facility was 0.94% and 2.26% as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively.
Our domestic revolving credit facility contains financial covenants relating to leverage and
interest coverage. Other covenants contained in our domestic revolving credit facility restrict,
among other things, mergers, asset dispositions, guarantees, debt, liens, acquisitions,
investments, affiliate transactions and our ability to make restricted payments. The financial
covenants require us to maintain defined levels of Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA
Ratio and a Cash Flow (defined as EBITDA minus capital expenditures) to Net Interest Expense Ratio.
The required ratios as of September 30, 2009 are detailed below:
|
|
|
|
|
Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio no greater
than |
|
|
3.5 : 1.0 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cash Flow to Net Interest Expense Ratio no less than |
|
|
3.0 : 1.0 |
|
Our domestic revolving credit facility contains customary events of default. These events of
default include nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants or other restrictions or
requirements, default on any other indebtedness or receivables securitizations (cross default), and
bankruptcy. A cross default could occur if:
|
|
|
we fail to pay any principal or interest when due on any other indebtedness or
receivables securitization of at least $40.0 million; or |
|
|
|
|
we are in default on any other indebtedness or receivables securitization in an
aggregate principal amount of at least $40.0 million; and |
|
|
|
|
such default gives the holders the right to declare such indebtedness due and
payable prior to its stated maturity. |
If a cross default was to occur, it could have a wider impact on our liquidity than might
otherwise occur from a default of a single debt instrument or lease commitment.
If any event of default occurs and is continuing, lenders with a majority of the aggregate
commitments may require the administrative agent to terminate our right to borrow under the our
domestic revolving credit facilityand accelerate amounts due under our domestic revolving credit
facility (except for a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically
become due and payable and the lenders commitments will automatically terminate).
The domestic promissory notes contain the same financial covenant restrictions as the domestic
revolving credit facility listed above. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all
covenant requirements. Our domestic revolving credit facility and promissory notes are guaranteed
by our material subsidiaries.
We have additional borrowing capacity through several foreign facilities governed by
agreements between us and various banks, used primarily to finance seasonal borrowing needs of our
foreign subsidiaries. Available capacity at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 on foreign
facilities were $12.2 million and $11.1
million, respectively.
During 2008, we expanded our Tifton, Georgia manufacturing facility using the proceeds from
Industrial Development Bonds (IDBs). We entered into a lease agreement with the owner of the
property and the issuer of the IDBs, and through our lease payments fund the interest payments to
investors in the IDBs. We also guaranteed the repayment of the IDBs and entered into letters of
credit totaling $14.5 million to fund a potential repurchase of the IDBs in the event that
investors exercised their right to tender the IDBs to the trustee of the IDBs. At September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008, we recorded both a capital lease asset and a corresponding long-term
obligation of $14.3 million and $15.3 million, respectively, related to these transactions.

Credit Rating
At September 30, 2009, our senior credit rating was Ba1, with a stable outlook, by Moodys and
BB+, with a stable outlook, by Standard & Poors Rating Group (S&P).
Asset Securitization
Under a revolving period asset securitization arrangement (ASA), we are eligible to sell
beneficial interests in a portion of our trade accounts receivable to participating financial
institutions for cash. The arrangement expires November 25, 2009, and is subject to renewal. Our
continued involvement in the transferred assets is limited to servicing, which includes collection
and administration of the transferred beneficial interests. The accounts receivable sold under the
ASA are high-quality domestic customer accounts that have not aged significantly and the program
takes into account an allowance for uncollectable accounts. The receivables represented by the
retained interest that we service are exposed to the risk of loss for any uncollectable amounts in
the pool of receivables sold under the ASA. The fair values assigned to the retained and
transferred interests are based on the sold accounts receivable carrying value given the short term
to maturity and low credit risk.
The ASA contains certain restrictive covenants relating to the quality of our accounts
receivable and cross-default provisions in our domestic revolving credit facility. The
administrative agent under the ASA is also a lender in our domestic revolving credit facility. The
participating financial institution has an investment-grade credit rating. We continue to evaluate
its credit rating and perform its obligations under the ASA. As of September 30, 2009, we were in
compliance with all covenant requirements.
The ASA provides for a maximum securitization amount of $125.0 million or 100% of the net pool
balance as defined by the ASA. However, eligibility for securitization is limited based on the
amount and quality of the accounts receivable and is calculated monthly. The beneficial interest
sold cannot exceed the maximum amount even if our qualifying accounts receivable is greater than
the maximum amount at any point in time. The eligible amounts available were as follows (in
millions):

Under the ASA, we pay certain discount fees to use the program and have the facility available
to us. These fees relate to both the used and unused portions of the securitization. The used fee
is based on the beneficial interest sold and calculated on the average floating commercial paper
rate determined by the purchaser of the beneficial interest, plus a program fee of 0.75%. The rate
as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 0.32% and 2.14%, respectively. The unused fee is
based on 102% of the maximum available amount less the beneficial interest sold and calculated at
0.3% fixed rate throughout the term of the agreement. We recorded these fees in (Gains) Losses and Other
Expenses, net and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The amounts recorded were as follows (in millions):

11. Stock-Based Compensation:
Our Amended and Restated 1998 Incentive Plan provides for various long-term incentive awards,
which include stock options, performance share units, restricted stock units, and stock
appreciation rights.
Stock-based compensation expense of $3.8 million and $9.0 million was recognized for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and is included in Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock-based
compensation expense of $1.7 million and $8.3 million was recognized for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was
primarily due to a prior year decrease in the estimated pay-out percentage on outstanding
performance share units in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Cash flows from the tax benefits
related to share-based payments of $3.4 million and $12.1 million were included in cash flows from
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
12. Restructuring Charges:
As part of our strategic priorities of manufacturing and sourcing excellence and expense
reduction, we have
initiated various manufacturing rationalization actions designed to lower our cost structure.
We also continue to reorganize our North American distribution network in order to better serve our
customers needs by deploying parts and equipment inventory closer to them. We have also initiated
a number of activities that rationalize and reorganize various support and administrative functions
to reduce ongoing selling and administrative expenses.

Restructuring expense for manufacturing rationalization activities related to the
following:
|
|
|
In the third quarter of 2009, we initiated the consolidation of certain Commercial
Heating & Cooling manufacturing operations located in Mions, France into our existing
manufacturing operations in Longvic, France. As a result of significant headcount
reductions for this action, we recorded severance charges of $7.5 million during the
third quarter of 2009. Total anticipated restructuring charges related to this action
are $9.7 million and consist principally of severance, recruiting and relocation costs.
All of these charges require future cash expenditures, and we intend to fund these with
operating cash. We expect to complete this action during the first half of 2010. |
|
|
|
In the first quarter of 2009, we began the consolidation of Residential Heating &
Cooling manufacturing operations from Blackville, South Carolina into our operations in
Orangeburg, South Carolina and Saltillo, Mexico. The consolidation is expected to be
completed within two years. Total restructuring charges recorded related to this action
in the third quarter of 2009 were $1.5 million. Total restructuring charges recorded
related to this action in the first nine months of 2009 were $7.6 million. These
charges were primarily composed of accelerated depreciation, severance, and previously
received economic development grants that will be returned as a result of the Blackville
plant closure. |
|
|

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we announced plans to close our Refrigeration
operations in Danville, Illinois and consolidate Danville manufacturing, support, and
warehouse functions into our Tifton, Georgia and Stone Mountain, Georgia operations. The
operations at Danville ceased as of the end of the first quarter of 2009, and the
transition was completed in the second quarter of 2009. Total restructuring charges
recorded in the first three quarters of 2009 related to this action were $2.1 million.
These charges were primarily composed of facility clean-up costs, equipment moving
costs, and manufacturing inefficiencies incurred prior to the plant closure. |
|
|
|
In the third quarter of 2008, we announced the transition of production of certain
Residential Heating & Cooling products from our Marshalltown, Iowa manufacturing
facility to our manufacturing operations in Saltillo, Mexico. Total restructuring
charges recorded in the third quarter of 2009 related to this action were $0.2 million.
Total restructuring charges recorded in the first nine months of 2009 related to this
action were $0.8 million. The transition was completed in the third quarter of 2009. |
Reorganization of Distribution Network
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we commenced the transition of activities then performed at our
North American Parts Center in Des Moines, Iowa to other locations, including our North American
Distribution Center in Marshalltown, Iowa. We reversed $0.5 million of restructuring charges
recorded during the third quarter and $0.3 million of restructuring charges during the first three
quarters of 2009 related to this transition. These reversals were primarily due to changes in
previous severance estimates. To date, we have incurred $2.7 million of costs to this transition,
which was composed primarily of severance. We expect the total cost to be $4.1 million related to
this restructuring activity, consisting of severance of $3.0 million, equipment moving costs of
$0.3 million and other costs of $0.8 million. The transition is expected to be completed in the
first quarter of 2010.

We incurred costs related to the following restructuring actions in our selling and
administrative activities:
|
|
|
In the third quarter of 2009 we initiated the relocation of Residential Heating &
Cooling factory-built fireplace headquarters from Orange, California to Nashville,
Tennessee and the consolidation of customer and technical service departments into our
existing hearth products plant in Union City, Tennessee. As a result of this action, we
recorded restructuring charges of $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2009. Total
anticipated restructuring charges related to this action are $4.3 million and consist
principally of severance, recruiting and relocation costs. Of these charges, $4.2
million will require future cash expenditures and we intend to fund these with operating
cash. We expect to complete this action during the first half of 2010. |
|
|
|
During the first nine months of 2009, we reorganized our Commercial Heating & Cooling
selling and administrative organization in the United States and Canada. As a result of
this action, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.1 million during the first nine
months of 2009. No charges were recorded during the third quarter of 2009 related to
this action. The action was completed during the second quarter of 2009. |
|
|
|
In the third quarter of 2008, our Commercial Heating & Cooling business unit began to
reorganize its selling and administrative functions in Northern Europe through a series
of restructuring actions. Total restructuring charges recorded in the third quarter of
2009 related to this action were $0.2 million. Total restructuring charges recorded in
the first nine months of 2009 related to this action were $3.3 million. These actions
are expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2009. |
|
|
|
During the first quarter of 2009, we began to reorganize the management structure of
our Refrigeration administrative and support functions across the globe. Restructuring
charges recorded in the third quarter of 2009 related to these actions were $0.3
million. We recorded total restructuring charges of $1.7 million during the first nine
months of 2009 related to these actions. These actions were substantially completed
during the third quarter of 2009. |
|
|
|
During the first quarter of 2009, we reorganized the Residential Heating & Cooling
selling and administrative organization in the United States. As a result of this
action, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.4 million during the first quarter and
first nine months of 2009. The action was completed during the second quarter of 2009. |
|
|
|
During the first quarter of 2009, Service Experts began to centralize certain of its
administrative and support functions through a series of restructuring actions. As a
result of these actions, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.6 million during the
third quarter of 2009. We recorded total restructuring charges of $1.0 million during
the first nine months of 2009 related to these actions. These actions are expected to be
completed during the first quarter of 2010. |
|
|
|
During the second quarter of 2009, we reorganized certain corporate administrative
functions and we recorded $0.3 million in severance related to this action. |
13. Discontinued Operations:
Management approved the following discontinued operations within our Service Experts business
segment:
|
|
|
During the third quarter of 2009, we finalized plans to sell five service centers
that do not meet the requirements of our current business strategy. As of September 30,
2009, we had not entered into any definite agreements to sell these service centers. |
|
|
|
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced plans to discontinue operations of seven
service centers. We decided to sell these seven centers due to current economic
conditions and a history of operating losses. By the end of the first quarter of 2009,
we had disposed of all seven service centers. |
The related assets and liabilities for these service centers have been classified as current
assets and liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The operating results of
these centers have been classified as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations, and prior period results have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation.

|
An impairment charge of $2.1 million is included in pre-tax loss
(income) from discontinued operations during the third quarter of 2009
that related to service centers where the estimated selling price less
cost to sell of the assets is below the net book value of those
assets. |
14. Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing
net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares and the number of equivalent shares
assumed outstanding, if dilutive, under our stock-based compensation plans. As of September 30,
2009, we had 85,193,639 shares issued of which 29,223,965 were held as treasury shares and were therefore excluded from the weighted-average shares outstanding.
The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for Income from Continuing Operations
were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Transactions between segments, such as products sold to Service Experts by the Residential
Heating & Cooling segment, are recorded on an arms-length basis using the market prices for these
products. The eliminations of these intercompany sales and any associated profit are noted in the
reconciliation of segment results to the income from continuing operations before income taxes
below.
We use segment profit or loss as the primary measure of profitability to evaluate operating
performance and to allocate capital resources. We define segment profit or loss as a segments
income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes included in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations:
Excluding:
|

Our corporate costs include those costs related to corporate functions such as legal, internal
audit, treasury,
human resources, tax compliance and senior executive staff. Corporate costs also include the
long-term share-based incentive awards provided to employees throughout LII. We recorded these
share-based awards as corporate costs as they are determined at the discretion of the Board of
Directors and based on the historical practice of doing so for internal reporting purposes.

16. Fair Value Measurements:
Fair Value Hierarchy
The three-level fair value hierarchies for disclosure of fair value measurements are defined
as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets at the measurement date. |
|
Level 2 -
|
|
Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in
markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value
drivers are observable in active markets at the measurement date and for the anticipated term of the instrument. |
|
Level 3
|
|
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or
significant value drivers are unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Other Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, net,
accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturities
of these instruments. The fair values of
each of our long-term debt instruments are based on the quoted market prices for the same
issues or on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument using current market
rates for debt instruments of similar maturities and credit risk. The estimated fair value of
long-term debt (including current maturities) was $211.4 million and $460.3 million as of September
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The fair values presented are estimates and are not
necessarily indicative of amounts for which we could settle such instruments currently or
indicative of our intent or ability to dispose of or liquidate them.

of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We operate in four reportable business segments of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning,
and refrigeration, (HVACR) industry. Our reportable segments are Residential Heating & Cooling,
Commercial Heating & Cooling, Service Experts and Refrigeration. For more detailed information
regarding our reportable segments, see Note 15 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Our products and services are sold through a combination of distributors, independent and
company-owned dealer service centers, other installing contractors, wholesalers, manufacturers
representatives, original equipment manufacturers and national accounts. The demand for our
products and services is seasonal and dependent on the weather. Warmer than normal summer
temperatures generate strong demand for replacement air conditioning and refrigeration products and
services and colder than normal winter temperatures have the same effect on heating products and
services. Conversely, cooler than normal summers and warmer than normal winters depress HVACR
sales and services. In addition to weather, demand for our products and services is influenced by
national and regional economic and demographic factors, such as interest rates, the availability of
financing, regional population and employment trends, new construction, general economic conditions
and consumer spending habits and confidence.
The principal elements of cost of goods sold in our manufacturing operations are components,
raw materials, manufacturing overhead, labor and estimated costs of warranty expense. In our
Service Experts segment, the principal components of cost of goods sold are equipment, parts and
supplies, and labor. The principal raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are steel,
copper and aluminum. In recent years, a trend toward higher prices for these commodities and
related components has challenged us and the HVACR industry in general. We partially mitigate the
impact of higher commodity prices through a combination of price increases, commodity contracts,
improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives. We also partially mitigate
volatility in the prices of these commodities by entering into futures contracts and fixed forward
contracts.
A substantial portion of the sales in each of our business segments is attributable to
replacement business, with the balance comprised of new construction business. With the current
downturn in residential and commercial new construction activity and current overall economic
conditions, we have seen a decline in the demand for the products and services we sell into these
markets.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31 and our interim fiscal quarters are each comprised of 13
weeks. For convenience, throughout this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, the 13-week periods comprising each fiscal quarter are denoted
by the last day of the calendar quarter.
25
Impact of Current Economic Environment on Our Business
The third quarter of each fiscal year is the end of the summer and our most profitable season.
During the third
quarter of 2009, we continued to face challenging market conditions as the global economic
downturn continued to impact consumer and business confidence. The year-over-year rate of decline
in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter accelerated in our Commercial Heating &
Cooling business. In our other businesses, that rate of decline slowed or remained the same. We
continue to execute on our strategic priorities to win new business, capture opportunities in the
replacement market, and lower our cost structure for the current market conditions.
We are continuing to adjust to lower demand levels in our end markets with accelerated efforts
to increase our operational efficiency and reduce costs while we maintain focus on providing our
customers a high level of value and service. During the third quarter of 2009, we recorded
restructuring charges of $11.5 million, and during the first three quarters of 2009, we recorded
restructuring charges of $27.4 million. In addition to the savings related to restructuring
activities, we believe that we will realize additional savings from lower commodity prices on
certain metals and from our global sourcing initiatives for the remainder of 2009. We are also
executing on additional operating efficiency and cost reduction initiatives that are designed to
substantially reduce our selling, general and administrative expenses through salaried headcount
reduction and other measures. We have targeted our salaried headcount to be down 12% for 2009.
We believe that when market conditions recover, we will be well-positioned to drive increased
earnings leverage.
Company Highlights
|
|
|
Net sales for the third quarter of 2009 were $749.5 million, $210.4 million or 21.9%
less than the third quarter of 2008. Lower revenues across all business segments resulted
from the difficult economic environment. |
|
|
|
Operational income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2009 was $57.7
million, compared to $91.1 million for the third quarter of 2008. The decline in
operational income was primarily due to lower sales partially offset by lower material
costs and savings from cost reductions and cost control initiatives. |
|
|
|
Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $31.0 million, compared to $54.9 million in
the same period in 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $0.54 per share in the third
quarter 2009, compared to $0.96 per share in the third quarter of 2008. |
|
|
|
We generated $213.3 million of cash from operating activities for the first three
quarters of 2009, compared to $139.8 million during the same period in 2008, as we
continued to focus on working capital improvements. Cash from operating activities
increased primarily due to favorable working capital changes and with our strong cash
generation, we repaid debt of $118.4 million during the third quarter of 2009. We repaid
$219.8 million during the first three quarters of 2009. |

Third
Quarter of 2009 Compared to Third Quarter of 2008 Consolidated Results
Net Sales
Net sales decreased 21.9% for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in
2008. The decrease in net sales was due decreased sales volumes of approximately 21% across all
segments and was driven by declines in the overall end markets we serve. While the residential,
service, and refrigeration markets continued to decline from a year ago, we saw the rates of
decline slow in the third quarter. In the commercial market, we saw the rate of decline increase.
Pricing and sales mix were flat for the third quarter. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates
adversely impacted revenues by 2%.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margins improved 170 basis points to 29.8% for the third quarter of 2009,
compared to gross margins of 28.1% in the same period of 2008. Lower product costs improved our
gross profit margins by 125 basis points as material savings more than offset increases in other
product costs, including under-absorbed overhead on lower volume. Relatively minor pricing gains
increased gross profit margins by approximately 10 basis points.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses for the third quarter decreased by approximately $10.2 million in 2009, compared
to the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total net sales, SG&A expenses were 21.1% for the
third quarter of 2009 and 17.6% for the third quarter of 2008. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to the decline in sales volumes at a greater pace than we were able to realize
benefits from our cost reduction efforts. Expenses decreased generally due to cost reductions,
including headcount savings, totaling over $7 million, and the impact of changes in foreign
exchange rates of $3 million. Research and development expenses increased slightly as we continued
to invest in future product offerings.

The change in gains and losses on futures contracts was primarily due to decreases in
commodity prices relative to the futures contract prices during 2009 as compared to 2008 for the
contracts that settled during the quarter. Conversely, the change in unrealized (gains) losses
related to unsettled futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges was primarily due to
higher commodity prices relative to the futures contract prices for those contracts. For more
information, see Note 5 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, we
experienced foreign exchange transaction gains on intercompany transactions as the dollar weakened
against certain foreign currencies.
Restructuring Charges
As part of our strategic priorities of manufacturing and sourcing excellence, distribution
excellence and expense reduction, we have initiated actions designed to improve the delivery of our
products to customers and lower our cost structure. We continue to reorganize our sales support and
administrative functions to be more effective and efficient in the markets we serve. We continue to
focus on restructuring activities to position our company for profitable growth as the economy
improves.
In the third quarters of 2009 and 2008, we incurred restructuring charges (reversals)
consisting of:

2009 primarily related to the consolidation of certain Commercial Heating & Cooling manufacturing
operations located in Mions, France into our existing manufacturing operations in Longvic, France.
As a result of significant headcount reductions for this action, we recorded severance charges of
$7.5 million during the third quarter of 2009. We expect to complete this action during the first
quarter of 2010.
We also incurred significant restructuring charges for the consolidation of Residential
Heating & Cooling manufacturing operations from Blackville, South Carolina into our operations in
Orangeburg, South Carolina and Saltillo, Mexico. The consolidation is expected to be completed
within two years. These restructuring charges related to manufacturing rationalizations consisted
primarily of $1.5 million of accelerated depreciation.
In the future, we expect to incur additional charges of $8.2 million related to the
manufacturing rationalization projects that were in process during the third quarter of 2009. Of
these additional expected charges, $2.3 million is accelerated depreciation or asset impairment
charges and, therefore, non-cash. We also expect to incur $0.8 million in severance, $1.9 million
in equipment move costs and $3.1 million of other costs. Included in these other costs are $1.2
million of facility demolition and site clean-up, $0.9 million of manufacturing inefficiencies
incurred prior to the plant closure, and $0.5 million in professional fees for retraining for
terminated employees.
Reorganization of North American Distribution Network
In the third quarter of 2009, we reversed previously recorded restructuring severance charges
related to the transition of activities currently performed at our North American Parts Center in
Des Moines, Iowa to other locations, including our North American Distribution Center in
Marshalltown, Iowa of $0.6 million due to changes in previous severance estimates.
28
In the future, we expect to incur additional charges of $1.4 million related to this project,
consisting primarily of $0.8 million in severance and $0.5 million in other costs, consisting of
relocation, pension curtailment and facility clean-up costs. The current restructuring project is
expected to be completed within two years. We anticipate that we will initiate additional
restructuring activities in this area as we seek to further enhance our North American distribution
network.
Reorganizations of Corporate, Business Unit Selling and Administrative Functions
The restructuring charges incurred in the third quarter of 2009 related primarily to the
reorganization of selling and administrative functions and included $2.0 million of severance and
related charges and $0.3 million of lease termination costs.
The restructuring charges impacting administrative functions in the third quarter of 2009
include the relocation of Residential Heating & Cooling factory-built fireplace headquarters from
Orange, California to Nashville, Tennessee and the consolidation of customer and technical service
departments into our existing hearth products plant in Union City, Tennessee. As a result of this
action, we recorded restructuring severance charges of $1.2 million during the third quarter of
2009. We expect to complete this action during the first quarter of 2010.
To date and in total, we have incurred $14.8 million of restructuring charges related to
reorganizations of selling and administrative functions for projects that were in process during
the third quarter of 2009. Of that amount, $11.6 million was severance costs, $0.9 million was
asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation, $1.0 million was lease termination costs, and the
remaining $1.3 million was other charges.
In the future, we expect to incur additional charges of $3.7 million related to these
projects, consisting of $0.8 million of severance, $0.3 million of lease termination costs, $0.2
million of non-cash accelerated depreciation, and $2.4 million of other costs. These other costs
will be primarily composed of recruiting and employee relocation costs of $1.8 million. All of
these future charges except the accelerated depreciation will require the use of cash.
Future Charges and Expense Savings
We anticipate incurring approximately $13.2 million of future restructuring charges relating
to projects that were in process during the third quarter of 2009. Of that amount, about $2.5
million are anticipated to be non-cash charges for accelerated depreciation and asset impairments.
Future cash outlays for restructuring activities that are currently in progress are estimated to be
$30.2 million. These restructuring charges and cash outlays are expected to be incurred generally
within the next two years.
We expect to realize approximately $25.0 million of restructuring expense savings for 2009.
Income from Equity Method Investments
Investments over which we do not exercise control but have significant influence are accounted
for using the equity method of accounting. Income from equity method investments increased to $2.4
million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $2.0 million during the same period in 2008,
primarily due to an increase in the performance of our U.S. joint venture in compressor
manufacturing despite lower sales volumes.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, decreased to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $3.9
million during the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily
attributable to a decrease in the average amounts borrowed in the third quarter of 2009 as compared
to the same period in 2008 and the remainder of the decrease is due to a lower than average
interest rate paid on variable rate debt.
Income Taxes
The income tax provision was $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $32.3
million during the same period in 2008. The effective tax rate was 39.2% for the third quarter of
2009 as compared to 37.1% for the same period in 2008. Our effective rates differ from the
statutory federal rate of 35% for certain items, such as state and local taxes, non-deductible
expenses, foreign operating losses for which no tax benefits have been recognized and foreign taxes
at rates other than 35%.
29
Discontinued Operations
Near the end of 2008, we announced plans to sell seven unprofitable service centers. We
entered into agreements to sell all of these service centers during the first quarter of 2009.
Also, during the third quarter of 2009, we announced plans to sell an additional five service
centers.
We have reclassified $2.7 million of losses related to these service centers in the third
quarter of 2009 as discontinued operations. This compares with income from these discontinued operations
incurred in the third quarter of 2008 of $0.1 million. Included in the losses from discontinued
operations is an impairment charge of $2.1 million related to service centers where the estimated
selling price of the assets is below the net book value of those assets.

The decrease in net sales was due to continued weakness in the U.S. residential new
construction market and softer replacement business as consumers remain cautious in the current
economic environment. Unit volumes were lower across the industry. While net sales continued to
decline from a year ago, the rate of decline has slowed as compared to the second quarter of 2009.
Residential new construction unit volumes of our Lennox-brand products were flat in the third
quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Overall, reduced sales volumes decreased
net sales by over 13% in the third quarter 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Product
mix was almost 2% lower due to additional residential new construction business and pricing was
flat for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 2008. The unfavorable impact of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates decreased net sales by about 1%.
Segment profit declined due to reduced net sales of $18 million. SG&A expenses increased
slightly as benefits from cost reductions, including headcount savings, were more than offset by
increases to advertising, sales commissions, and investment in research and development. This
decline was partially offset by lower product costs of $5 million resulting from material savings
partially offset by increases in other product costs, including under-absorbed manufacturing
overhead.

Our Commercial Heating & Cooling business experienced lower sales volume of almost 40%,
primarily due to weak new construction in North America and overall weakness in European business.
Unit volumes were lower across the North American commercial unitary market due to the overall new
construction slowdown and ongoing weakness in retail. Unit volumes were also down in the European
HVAC market. Foreign currency exchange rates reduced net sales by approximately 2%. Positive sales
mix of 3% due to the strength of our energy-efficient rooftop systems partially offset to these
negative impacts to sales. Product pricing was flat for the third quarter.
30
Changes in net sales reduced segment profit by $28 million. This decline was partially offset
by lower product costs of $3 million resulting from material savings partially offset by increases
in other product costs, including under-absorbed manufacturing overhead. SG&A cost reductions,
including headcount savings, of over $3 million partially offset by the decline in segment profit.

The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the decline in the residential new construction
and residential service and replacement markets resulting from the weakness of the North American
economy. The sales decrease was primarily due to a volume decline of 10% as both price and sales
mix were relatively flat. The year-over-year rate of decline for replacements slowed as compared
to the earlier quarters of 2009. The unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates decreased net sales by over 1%.
Reduced costs of sales of $3 million and SG&A cost reductions, including headcount savings, of
over $1 million, contributed to the increase in segment profit. Lower fuel costs and increased
technician productivity contributed to the lower cost of sales. Decreased net sales partially
offsets increases to segment profit by approximately $1 million.

Net sales decreased due to lower sales volumes of approximately 16% and the unfavorable impact
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of 3%. Net sales were down significantly in all
international markets except Australia, where the rate of decline slowed, and China, where we
experienced slight growth. Pricing gains of 1% partially offset these negative impacts. Product
mix was flat.
Changes in net sales reduced segment profit by $5 million. Offsetting the unfavorable change
in net sales were lower product costs of $1 million that improved segment profit as material
savings more than offset increases in other product costs, including under-absorbed manufacturing
overhead. SG&A cost reductions, including headcount savings, of over $4 million also favorably
impacted segment profit.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other expenses decreased to $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, down
from $16.3 million during the same period in 2008. Lower compensation costs and cuts in
discretionary spending were the primary causes of the $2.9 million decrease.
31
Year-to-Date
Through September 30, 2009 Compared to Year-to-Date Through September 30, 2008
Consolidated Results
Net Sales
Net sales decreased 21.8% for the first three quarters of 2009 as compared to the same period
in 2008. The decrease in net sales resulted from reduced sales volumes of over 21% across all
segments, which was primarily
driven by declines in the overall markets we serve. The declines in unit volumes were
partially offset by pricing gains of 1% and positive sales mix of 1%. Changes in foreign currency
exchange rates adversely impacted revenues by over 3%.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margins improved 60 basis points to 27.8% in the first three quarters of 2009,
compared to gross margins of 27.2% in the same period of 2008. Pricing gains increased gross profit
margins by approximately 100 basis points. Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by 20
basis points for the net incremental effect of warranty adjustments occurring in the second
quarter. The changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an approximate 15 basis point positive
impact on our gross profit margins. Offsetting these favorable impacts to gross profit margins
were product costs, including under-absorbed manufacturing overhead, that were greater than
material cost savings and which decreased gross profit margins by approximately 55 basis points.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses for the first three quarters decreased by over $57.2 million in 2009 as compared
to the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total net sales, SG&A expenses were 22.6% for 2009
and 19.8% for 2008, primarily due to the decline in sales volumes. Selling and administrative
expenses decreased, generally due to cost reductions, including headcount savings, totaling
approximately $38 million, and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates of almost $20
million. Research and development expenses remained constant as we continued to invest in future
product offerings.

The change in gains and losses on futures contracts was primarily due to decreases in
commodity prices relative to the futures contract prices during 2009 as compared to 2008 for the
contracts that settled during the period. Conversely, the change in unrealized (gains) losses
related to unsettled futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges was primarily due to
higher commodity prices relative to the futures contract prices for those contracts. For more
information, see Note 5 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The change in
foreign currency losses (gains) was primarily due to a favorable catch-up adjustment of $5 million
related to foreign currency fluctuations on intercompany loans recorded in 2008. Additionally, we
incurred foreign exchange transaction gains on intercompany transactions as the dollar weakened
against certain foreign currencies.

Manufacturing Rationalizations
The restructuring charges for new manufacturing rationalizations incurred in the third quarter
of 2009 primarily related to the consolidation of certain Commercial Heating & Cooling
manufacturing operations located in Mions, France into our existing manufacturing operations in
Longvic, France. As a result of significant headcount reductions for this action and a previous
action, we recorded severance charges of $8.0 million during the first three quarters of 2009.
The primary restructuring projects also contributing to these charges during the first three
quarters of 2009 were:
|
|
|
The consolidation of Residential Heating & Cooling manufacturing operations from
Blackville, South Carolina into our operations in Orangeburg, South Carolina and
Saltillo, Mexico. The restructuring charges incurred related to this action totaled
$7.6 million for the first three quarters of 2009. These restructuring charges were
composed of $2.5 million of severance and related charges, $4.1 million of asset
write-offs and accelerated depreciation, and $1.1 million of other costs, primarily
related to the return of previously received government economic development credits. |
|
|
|
The closure of our Refrigeration operations in Danville, Illinois and consolidation
of Danville manufacturing, support and warehouse functions into our Tifton, Georgia and
Stone Mountain, Georgia operations. The operations at Danville ceased as of the end of
the first quarter of 2009 and the transition was completed in the second quarter of
2009. Total restructuring charges recorded in the first three quarters of 2009 related
to this action were $2.1 million. These charges were primarily composed of facility
clean-up costs, equipment moving costs and manufacturing inefficiencies incurred prior
to the plant closure. |
|
|
|
The transition of production of certain Residential Heating & Cooling products from
our Marshalltown, Iowa manufacturing facility to our manufacturing operations in
Saltillo, Mexico. Total restructuring charges recorded in the first three quarters of
2009 related to this action were $0.8 million and these charges primarily related to
equipment moves. The transition was completed in the third quarter of 2009. |
Reorganization of North American Distribution Network
In the first three quarters of 2009, we reversed previously recorded restructuring severance
charges related to the transition of activities currently performed at our North American Parts
Center in Des Moines, Iowa to other locations, including our North American Distribution Center in
Marshalltown, Iowa of $0.3 million primarily due to changes in previous severance estimates.
Reorganizations of Corporate and Business Unit Selling and Administrative Functions
The restructuring charges incurred in the first three quarters of 2009 related to the
reorganization of selling and administrative functions totaled $9.0 million and included $7.5
million of severance and related charges, $0.7 million of lease termination costs, $0.1 million of
asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation and $0.7 million of other costs.
33
The primary restructuring projects contributing to these charges during the first three
quarters of 2009 were:
|
|
|
The relocation of Residential Heating & Cooling factory-built fireplace headquarters
from Orange, California to Nashville, Tennessee and the consolidation of customer and
technical service departments into our existing hearth products plant in Union City,
Tennessee. As a result of this action, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.2
million during the third quarter of 2009. |
|
|
|
The reorganization of our Commercial Heating & Cooling business unit selling and
administrative
functions in Northern Europe through a series of restructuring actions. Total
restructuring charges recorded in the first three quarters of 2009 related to this action
were $3.3 million. |
|
|
|
The reorganization of our Residential and Commercial Heating & Cooling selling and
administrative organization in the United States and Canada. As a result of this
action, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.5 million during the first three
quarters of 2009. |
|
|
|
The reorganization of the management structure of our Refrigeration administrative
and support functions across the globe. We recorded total restructuring charges of $1.7
million during the first three quarters of 2009 related to this action. |
|
|
|
The reorganization of the management structure of our Service Experts administrative
and support functions in North America through a series of actions. We recorded total
restructuring charges of $1.0 million in the first three quarters of 2009 related to
these actions. |
Cash Used in Restructuring Activities
Total cash paid for restructuring activities during the first three quarters of 2009 was $15.5
million, a decrease of $6.6 million from the same period in 2008. A significant portion of this
amount related to the timing of severance payments for corporate restructuring activities that
occurred in 2008. We generally use operating cash as the funding source for restructuring
activities.
Income from Equity Method Investments
Investments over which we do not exercise control but have significant influence are accounted
for using the equity method of accounting. Income from equity method investments decreased to $5.6
million in the first three quarters of 2009, compared to $8.0 million during the same period in
2008 primarily due to the weaker performance of both our U.S. joint venture in compressor
manufacturing and our joint venture in Latin America. Our U.S. joint venture experienced reduced
sales as a result of a reduction in our volume of purchases in the first three quarters of 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net decreased to $6.1 million during the first three quarters of 2009 from
$10.7 million during the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily
attributable to a lower average interest rate paid on variable rate debt and the remainder was due
to a decrease in the average amounts borrowed in 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.
Income Taxes
The income tax provision was $32.8 million in the first three quarters of 2009, compared to
$68.9 million during the same period in 2008. The effective tax rate was 38.7% for the first three
quarters of 2009 as compared to 38.1% for the same period in 2008. Our effective rates differ from
the statutory federal rate of 35% for certain items, such as state and local taxes, non-deductible
expenses, foreign operating losses for which no tax benefits have been recognized and foreign taxes
at rates other than 35%.
Discontinued Operations
Near the end of 2008, we announced plans to sell seven unprofitable service centers. We
entered into agreements to sell all of these service centers during the first quarter of 2009.
Also, during the third quarter of 2009, we announced plans to sell an additional five service
centers.
We have reclassified losses of $10.2 million related to these service centers in the first
three quarters of 2009 as discontinued operations. This compares with income from these
discontinued operations of $0.5 million during the same period in 2008. Included in the losses
from discontinued operations is an impairment charge of $2.1 million related to service centers
where the estimated selling price of the assets is below the net book value of those assets. The
loss from discontinued operations also includes a provision of $6.2 million for an unfavorable
judgment in litigation related to the sale of a service center in 2004 that was included in
discontinued operations.

The decrease in net sales was due to continuing weakness in the U.S. residential new
construction market and softer replacement business as consumers remain cautious in the current
economic environment. Unit volumes were lower across the industry. Reduced sales volumes
decreased net sales by nearly 20% in 2009 as compared to 2008. The unfavorable impact of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates also decreased net sales by over 1%. The decreases related to net
sales were partially offset by pricing gains of almost 2% related to increases that were enacted in
the later quarters of 2008 and positive sales mix of less than 1%.
Segment profit declined due to a decrease in net sales of $40 million and increased product
costs of nearly $11 million, as other product costs, including under-absorbed manufacturing
overhead, more than offset materials savings in the first three quarters of 2009. This decline in
segment profit was primarily offset by SG&A cost reductions, including headcount savings, of almost
$8 million.

Our Commercial Heating & Cooling business experienced lower sales volumes of 31%, primarily
due to weak new construction in North America and overall weakness in European business. The
unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on net sales was 4%. As an offset
to these negative impacts, sales mix was positive at 4%. Pricing was flat for the first three
quarters of 2009.
Segment profit declined due to a decrease in net sales of $46 million and increased product
costs of nearly $5 million, as other product costs, including under-absorbed manufacturing
overhead, more than offset materials savings in the first three quarters of 2009. The decline in
segment profit was partially offset by SG&A cost reductions, including headcount savings, of $14
million.

The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the decline in the residential new construction
and residential service and replacement end markets resulting from the weakness of the U.S.
economy. The sales decrease was primarily due to sales volumes of 10% as both price and sales mix
were relatively flat. The unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
decreased net sales by 3%.
A decline in net sales decreased segment profit by $16 million. The lower sales volumes were
partially offset by SG&A cost reductions, including headcount savings, of $8 million and lower
costs of sales of $5 million.

Net sales decreased due to lower sales volumes of almost 19% and the unfavorable impact of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates of over 8%. Pricing gains of approximately 3% partially
offset these negative impacts.
Segment profit was unfavorably affected by the decline in net sales of $22 million and
increased product costs of $3 million, as other product costs, including under-absorbed
manufacturing overhead, more than offset materials savings in the first three quarters of 2009.
Offsetting these unfavorable impacts were SG&A cost reductions, including headcount savings, of $9
million.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other expenses increased to $42.0 million in the first three quarters of 2009,
up from $37.2 million during the same period in 2008. Comparisons to the prior year were affected
by a favorable adjustment for foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $5 million that was
recorded in the third quarter of 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements are generally met through internally
generated funds, our domestic revolving credit facility and our ASA. Working capital needs are
generally greater in the first and second quarters due to the seasonal nature of our business
cycle.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The cash generation experienced during the first three quarters of 2009 in operating
activities was primarily due to working capital improvements. The cash flow impact of changes in
accounts receivable improved by $59.4 million from a year ago primarily due to lower revenues and
positive cash collection experience. The cash flow impact from changes in inventory improved $55.2
million due to the continued focus on our investment in inventory and also due to lower production
volumes. These favorable operating cash flow impacts were partially
offset by changes in accounts payable of $31.5 million due to lower inventory purchases than a
year ago.
During the first three quarters of 2009, we received cash of $37.9 million from collateral
previously posted related to commodity hedge derivative loss positions in the last half of 2008.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Capital expenditures in the first three quarters of 2009 were $33.9 million, which was
slightly lower compared to capital expenditures of $38.3 million incurred in the first three
quarters of 2008. Capital expenditures for the first three quarters of 2009 were principally
driven by:
|
|
|
Purchases of production equipment in our Residential Heating & Cooling and Commercial
Heating & Cooling segments, |
|
|
|
Purchases of systems and software to support our regional distribution center
initiative as well as the overall enterprise, |
|
|
|
Expenditures for plant consolidations, and |
|
|
|
Spending for our Saltillo, Mexico facility. |
Net cash received of $33.3 million in investing activities for the first three quarters of
2009 was due to liquidation of short-term investments into cash compared to a net investment of
$6.7 million in the same period of 2008.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Due to our strong working capital position, we repaid, on a net basis, $219.8 million of debt
during the first three quarters of 2009. This compares to a net borrowing in the first three
quarters of 2008 of $176.9 million, which was primarily used to repurchase $307.6 million of our
common stock. Also, both the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the related tax
benefits declined, in total, $17.2 million due to lower volumes of stock option exercises and as
the result of lower common stock price. We paid a total of $23.2 million in dividends on our common
stock in the first three quarters of 2009 as compared to $32.4 million in the same period of 2008.
The decrease in cash dividends is due to a change in the timing of payment and the reduction in
outstanding shares due to the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program.
Debt Position and Financial Leverage
Our debt-to-total capital ratio decreased to 26% as of September 30, 2009 from 48% as of
December 31, 2008 due to lower outstanding debt and increased equity.
The following tables summarize our outstanding debt obligations and the classification in the

Domestic promissory notes bear interest at 8.00% and mature in 2010. |

As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $142.5 million, and an additional
$95.9 million committed to standby letters of credit under the $650.0 million domestic revolving
credit facility. All of the remaining $411.6 million was available for future borrowing. The
facility matures in October 2012.
Our domestic revolving credit facility includes a subfacility for swingline loans of up to
$50.0 million and provides for the issuance of letters of credit for the full amount available
under our domestic revolving credit facility. Our weighted average borrowing rate on our domestic
revolving credit facility was 0.94% and 2.26% as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively.
Our domestic revolving credit facility contains financial covenants relating to leverage and
interest coverage. Other covenants contained in the domestic revolving credit facility restrict,
among other things, mergers, asset dispositions, guarantees, debt, liens, acquisitions,
investments, affiliate transactions and our ability to make restricted payments. The financial
covenants require us to maintain defined levels of Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA
Ratio and a Cash Flow (defined as EBITDA minus capital expenditures) to Net Interest Expense Ratio.
The required ratios as of September 30, 2009 are detailed below:
|
|
|
|
|
Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio no greater
than |
|
|
3.5 : 1.0 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cash Flow to Net Interest Expense Ratio no less than |
|
|
3.0 : 1.0 |
|
Our domestic revolving credit facility contains customary events of default. These events of
default include nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants or other restrictions or
requirements, default on any other indebtedness or receivables securitizations (cross default), and
bankruptcy. A cross default could occur if:
|
|
|
we fail to pay any principal or interest when due on any other indebtedness or
receivables securitization of at least $40.0 million; or |
|
|
|
we are in default on any other indebtedness or receivables securitization in an
aggregate principal amount of at least $40.0 million; and |
|
|
|
such default gives the holders the right to declare such indebtedness due and
payable prior to its stated maturity. |
If a cross default was to occur it could have a wider impact on our liquidity than might
otherwise occur from a default of a single debt instrument or lease commitment.
If any event of default occurs and is continuing, lenders with a majority of the aggregate
commitments may require the administrative agent to terminate our right to borrow under our
domestic revolving credit facility and accelerate amounts due under our domestic revolving credit
facility (except for a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically
become due and payable and the lenders commitments will automatically terminate).
The domestic promissory notes contain the same financial covenant restrictions as our domestic
revolving credit facility described above. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with
all covenant requirements. Our domestic revolving credit facility and promissory notes are
guaranteed by our material subsidiaries.
We have additional borrowing capacity through several foreign facilities governed by
agreements between us and various banks. These borrowings are used primarily to finance seasonal
borrowing needs of our foreign subsidiaries. Available capacity at September 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008 on foreign facilities were $12.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively.
38
Under our ASA, we are eligible to transfer beneficial interests in a portion of our trade
accounts receivable to third parties in exchange for cash. Our continued involvement in the
transferred assets is limited to servicing. These transfers are accounted for as sales rather than
secured borrowings. The fair values assigned to the retained and transferred interests are based
primarily on the receivables carrying value given the short term to maturity and low credit risk.
The ASA provides for a maximum securitization amount of $125 million or 100% of the net pool
balance as defined by the ASA. However, eligibility for securitization is limited based on the
amount and quality of the accounts receivable and is calculated monthly. Subsequent to
December 31, 2008, the amount eligible for securitization declined primarily due to lower sales and
increased cash collections. The credit quality of those accounts receivable was not materially
different from that at December 31, 2008. The beneficial interest sold cannot exceed the maximum
amount, even if our qualifying accounts receivable is greater than the maximum amount at any point
in time. The eligible amounts available were as follows (in millions):

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $13.8 million and $7.1 million, respectively,
of cash and cash equivalents were restricted primarily due to routine lockbox collections and
letters of credit issued with respect to the operations of our captive insurance subsidiary, which
expire on December 31, 2009 and will be renewed upon expiration. These letters of credit can be
transferred to our revolving lines of credit as needed.
We periodically review our capital structure, including our domestic revolving credit
facility, to ensure that it has adequate liquidity. We believe that cash flows from operations, as
well as available borrowings under our domestic revolving credit facility and other existing
sources of funding, will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and share repurchases during
the term of the 2008 Share Repurchase Plan.
As a result of the declines in the securities markets as a whole, which occurred in
2008, we are in an underfunded position which may result in additional
pension contributions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In addition to the revolving and term loans described above, we utilize the following
financing arrangements in the course of funding our operations:
|
|
|
Transfers of accounts receivable under the ASA are accounted for as sales rather
than secured borrowings and are reported as a reduction of Accounts and Notes
Receivable, Net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, we sold $30.0 million in beneficial interests to third parties. |
|
|
|
We lease real estate and machinery and equipment pursuant to leases that, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not capitalized on the
balance sheet, including high-turnover equipment such as autos and service vehicles
and short-lived equipment such as personal computers. |
Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
We are subject to contingencies that arise in the normal course of business, including product
warranties and other product-related contingencies, pending litigation, environmental matters and
other guarantees or claims.
We use a combination of third-party insurance and self-insurance plans (large deductible or
captive) to provide protection against claims relating to contingencies such as workers
compensation, general liability, product liability, property damage, aviation liability, directors
and officers liability, auto liability, physical damage and other exposures. Of these exposures,
we use self-insurance plans for workers compensation/employers liability, general liability,
product liability, and auto liability. Prior to the third quarter of 2009, these policies were
written through a third-party insurance provider, which was then reinsured by our captive insurance
subsidiary. Currently these policies are fronted by a commercial insurance company and we then pay
the premium directly into our captive insurance company. We believe that the liability limits
retained by the captive are customary for a company of our size and in our industry and are
appropriate for our business.
39
In addition, we use third-party insurance plans for property damage, aviation liability,
directors and officers liability, and other exposures. Each of these policies includes per
occurrence limits. However, we also carry
umbrella or excess liability insurance for all third-party and self-insurance plans, except
for directors and officers liability and property insurance. We believe the limit within our
excess policy is adequate for companies of our size in our industry.
The self-insurance expense and liabilities are actuarially determined based on our historical
claims information, as well as industry factors and trends, and because we have a captive insurance
company, we are required to maintain specified levels of liquid assets from which we must pay
claims. The majority of our self-insured risks (excluding auto liability and physical damage) will
be paid over an extended period of time. The self-insurance liabilities recorded in Accrued
Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets were $63.3 million at September 30, 2009
and $63.2 million as of December 31, 2008.
The estimate of our liability for future warranty costs requires us to make significant
assumptions about the amount, timing and nature of the costs we will incur in the future. We review
the assumptions used to determine the liability periodically and we adjust our assumptions based
upon factors such as actual failure rates and cost experience. Numerous factors could affect actual
failure rates and cost experience, including the amount and timing of new product introductions,
changes in manufacturing techniques or locations, components or suppliers used. In recent years,
changes in the warranty liability as the result of the issuance of new warranties and the payments
made have remained relatively stable. Should actual warranty costs differ from our estimates, we
may be required to record adjustments to accruals and expense in the future. At the end of each
accounting period, we evaluate our warranty liabilities and during the second quarter of each year,
we perform a complete reevaluation of our warranty liabilities. As a result of our annual
evaluation, we recorded in the second quarter of 2009 a reduction to the warranty liability that is
the principal amount contained within changes in estimates associated with pre-existing liabilities
of $12.8 million. The reduction to our warranty liabilities was principally caused by lower than
expected failure rates, reductions to future cost estimates, and new experience data.
We incur the risk of liability claims for the installation and service of heating and air
conditioning products and we maintain liabilities for those claims that we self-insure. We are
involved in various claims and lawsuits related to our products. Our product liability insurance
policies have limits that, if exceeded, may result in substantial costs that could have an adverse
effect on our results of operations. In addition, warranty claims are not covered by our product
liability insurance and certain product liability claims may also not be covered by our product
liability insurance. There have been no material changes in the circumstances since our latest
fiscal year-end.
We also may incur costs related to our products that may not be covered under our warranties
and are not covered by insurance, and we may, from time to time, repair or replace installed
products experiencing quality issues in order to satisfy our customers and to protect our brand.
These product quality issues may be caused by vendor-supplied components that fail to meet required
specifications. We have identified a product quality issue in a heating and cooling product line
produced during a limited time period that we believe results from a vendor-supplied component that
failed to meet required specifications. During the first nine months of 2009, we have recorded an expense of $5.1 million for the portion
of the issue that is probable and can be reliably estimated based upon the current data available. The expense for this product quality issue, and
the related liability, is not included in the tables related to our estimated warranty liabilities. We are working to determine the scope and nature of the issue. Any additional liability resulting
from the product quality issue and any related recovery from the vendor cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.
We estimate the costs to settle pending litigation based on experience involving similar
claims and specific facts known. We do not believe that any current or pending or threatened
litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Litigation and
arbitration, however, involve uncertainties and it is possible that the eventual outcome of
litigation could adversely affect our results of operations for a particular period.
Applicable environmental laws can potentially impose obligations to remediate hazardous
substances at our properties, at properties formerly owned or operated by us and at facilities to
which we have sent or send waste for treatment or disposal. We are aware of contamination at some
facilities; however, we do not presently believe that any future remediation costs at such
facilities will be material to our results of operations. There have been no material changes to
the reserve balances since our latest fiscal year-end.
On June 22, 2006, we entered into an agreement with a financial institution to lease our
corporate headquarters in Richardson, Texas for a term of seven years (the Lake Park Lease). The
leased property consists of an office building of approximately 192,000 square feet, land and
related improvements. Our obligations under the Lake Park Lease are secured by a pledge of our
interest in the leased property and are also guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. The
Lake Park Lease, as amended, contains restrictive covenants that are consistent with
those of our domestic revolving credit facility. We are in compliance with these financial
covenants as of September 30, 2009.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Commodity Price Risk
We enter into commodity futures contracts to stabilize prices expected to be paid for raw
materials and parts containing high copper and aluminum content. These contracts are for quantities
equal to or less than quantities expected to be consumed in future production.
Fluctuations in metal commodity prices impact the value of the derivative instruments that we
hold. When metal commodity prices rise, the fair value of our futures contracts increases and
conversely, when commodity prices fall, the fair value of our futures contracts decreases. During
2008, metal commodity prices decreased considerably in a short time period, which resulted in
significant derivative loss positions. As a result of these loss positions, we were required to
post collateral of $37.9 million as of December 31, 2008. During the first three quarters of 2009,
metal commodity prices remained relatively stable and as a result our commodity contracts that were
in loss positions at December 31, 2008 have expired and we were no longer required to post
collateral as of September 30, 2009. The collateral posted was treated as a prepaid expense and
recorded in Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also recorded
derivative losses, net of tax, of $21.3 million in AOCL as December 31, 2008. During the first
three quarters of 2009, our commodity contracts that were in loss positions at December 31, 2008
have expired and we recorded derivative gains, net of tax, of $3.0 million in AOCL as of September
30, 2009. We believe that this decline in metal prices was an extraordinary event because of its
size and its occurrence over a relatively short timeframe.

Interest Rate Risk
Our results of operations can be affected by changes in interest rates due to variable rates
of interest on our revolving credit facilities, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Based on our best estimates of projected cash flows and debt activity, a 100 basis point change in
interest rates would impact our results of operations by approximately $1.2 million annually.
In order to partially mitigate interest rate risk, we use a hedging strategy to eliminate the
variability of cash flows in the interest payments for the first $100 million of the total
variable-rate debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement that is solely due to changes in the
benchmark interest rate. This strategy allows us to fix a portion of our interest payments while
also taking advantage of historically low interest rates.
On June 12, 2009, we entered into a $100 million pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate
swap with a large financial institution at a fixed interest rate of 2.66%. The variable portion of
the interest rate swap is tied to 1-Month LIBOR (the benchmark interest rate). The interest rates
under both the interest rate swap and the underlying debt are reset, the swap is settled with the
counterparty, and interest is paid, on a monthly basis. The interest rate swap expires October 12,
2012. We account for the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.

interest rate swap is presented below (in millions):

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our results of operations can be affected by changes in exchange rates. Net sales and expenses
in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes based on
the average exchange rate for the period. Net sales from outside the United States represented
29.0% and 28.9% of total net sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Historically, foreign currency translation gains (losses) have not had a material
effect on our overall operations. As of September 30, 2009, the impact to segment profit (loss) of
a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates is estimated to be approximately $0.3 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our current
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are
inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures,
including the possibility of human error and circumvention or overriding of the controls and
procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide
reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit to the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported to be disclosed within the time periods specified in the
applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
