REGAL BELOIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 28, 2014
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet of Regal Beloit Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 28, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 28, 2014 and for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 26, 2014.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial results have been made. Except as otherwise discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 3, 2015.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, allowance for doubtful accounts; excess and obsolete inventory; share-based compensation; acquisitions; product warranty obligations; pension assets and liabilities; derivative fair values; goodwill and intangible impairment; health care; litigation claims and contingencies; and income taxes. The Company accounts for changes to estimates and assumptions when warranted by factually based experience.
The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Accounting Standard update 2014-09), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. This update requires the Company to recognize revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services at the time of transfer. In doing so, the Company will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. Such estimates may include identifying performance obligations in the contracts, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company can either apply a full retrospective adoption or a modified retrospective adoption.
The Company is required to adopt the new requirements in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new requirements to its consolidated financial statements and does not currently believe the impact will be significant.
Accounting for Highly Inflationary Economies
The Company has a subsidiary in Venezuela using accounting for highly inflationary economies. Currency restrictions recently enacted by the Venezuelan government have the potential to impact the ability of the Company's subsidiary to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan bolivares fuertes ("Bolivars") at the official foreign exchange rate. In January 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the expansion of its auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD1). In March 2014, the Venezuelan government introduced an additional auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD2) which permits all companies incorporated or domiciled in Venezuela to bid for U.S. dollars. As of June 28, 2014, the SICAD1 and SICAD2 exchange rates were 10.6 and 50.0 Bolivars per U.S. dollar, respectively.
As of June 28, 2014, the Company continued to remeasure local currency transactions and balances into U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate of 6.3 based on charges incurred related to import tariffs. The Company believes that its imports will continue to qualify for the official rate and intends to pursue this rate for future exchanges. To date, the Company has not gained access to U.S. dollars in Venezuela through either SICAD1 or SICAD2 auctions. Whether it will be able to access either SICAD system in the foreseeable future and what volume of currency exchange will transact through these alternative mechanisms is unclear.

9



At June 28, 2014, the Company had approximately $11.0 million of net monetary assets denominated in Bolivars. In the event of a devaluation of the official exchange rate or if the Company were to determine that it is more appropriate to utilize one of the other legal auction-based exchange rates for financial reporting purposes, it would result in the Company recording a devaluation charge in its Consolidated Statement of Income. Going forward, any devaluation in Venezuela will result in a reduction in the U.S. dollar reported amount of currency denominated revenues, expenses and, consequently, income before taxes.
2. OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Inventories
Inventories are valued at last-in, first-out (LIFO) for approximately 54% and 49% of the Company’s inventory as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
As required, the Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its reporting units below their carrying value.
The Company's reporting unit related to technology that had been deemed substantially impaired during the fourth quarter of 2013 was deemed fully impaired during the quarter ended June 28, 2014 as a result of the closing of the facility. This resulted in a $1.0 million impairment charge to goodwill.

The Company has a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) that matures in June 2016. The Facility permits the Company to borrow at interest rates based upon a margin above LIBOR. The margin varies with the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA, net of specified cash, as defined in the Facility. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR varies. The Company pays a commitment fee on the unused amount of the Facility, which also varies with the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA. At June 28, 2014, the Company had no outstanding balance on the Facility and had $23.7 million of standby letters of credit issued under the Facility with $476.3 million of available borrowing capacity.
At June 28, 2014, other notes payable of $17.0 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.5%. At December 28, 2013, other notes payable of approximately $17.4 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.7%.
Based on rates for instruments with comparable maturities and credit quality, which are classified as Level 2 inputs, the approximate fair value of the Company's Notes was $779.3 million and $779.6 million as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. The Company estimates that the fair value of other debt approximates book value.
The Notes and the Facility require the Company to meet specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 28, 2014. The Company believes that it will continue to be in compliance with these covenants for the foreseeable future.
In August 2014, $150.0 million of the 2007 Notes will mature. The Company anticipates repaying these Notes at maturity with a combination of existing cash and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into net periodic benefit cost during the 2014 fiscal year is $2.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
For the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, the Company contributed $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to defined benefit pension plans. For the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, the Company contributed $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, to defined benefit pension plans. The Company expects to make contributions of $2.9 million in 2014. The Company contributed a total of $5.5 million in 2013. The assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s pension plans and in the target investment allocation have remained the same as those disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 26, 2014.

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company recognized approximately $3.6 million and $3.1 million in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for the six month period ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was $6.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The total excess income tax benefit recognized relating to share-based compensation for the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The Company recognizes compensation expense on grants of share-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each award. As of June 28, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was approximately $16.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 3.0 years.
Approximately 3.0 million shares were available for future grant under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan at June 28, 2014.

16



Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
The Company uses several forms of share-based incentive awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). Options and SARs generally vest over 5 years, are granted at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant dates, and expire 10 years from the grant date. Historically, the majority of the Company’s annual share-based incentive awards are made in the fiscal second quarter. For the six months ended June 28, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively, 148,955 and 173,825 share-based incentive awards were granted. The per share weighted average fair value of share-based incentive awards granted during those respective periods was $28.01 and $23.01. Compensation expense recognized related to the options and SAR's was $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, and $2.6 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively.
As of June 28, 2014, there was $13.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options and SAR's that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock awards ("RSA") and restricted stock units ("RSU") consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's stock. The awards are restricted such that they are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale or other transfer. RSU awards are typically granted to eligible employees outside of the United States. As defined in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, or death, disability or normal retirement of the grantee.

As of June 28, 2014, there was $10.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
Performance Share Units
Performance share unit ("PSU") awards consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's stock which are awarded to employees of the Company. These shares vest and become payable upon the determination that the Company achieved certain established performance targets and can range from 0% to 200.0% of the targeted payout based on the actual results. PSUs have a performance period of 3 years. There are no voting rights with these instruments until vesting occurs and a share of stock is issued. PSU awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation method as of the grant date.

Compensation expense for awards granted is based on the targeted payout of 100%, net of estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense recognized related to PSUs was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. Total future compensation expense for all PSUs granted as of June 28, 2014 is estimated to be $3.3 million recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

10. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2014 was 26.5% versus 25.0% for the three months ended June 29, 2013. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 28, 2014 was 26.4% versus 24.1%. The change in the second quarter 2014 effective rate was primarily driven by the increase in the Mexican tax rate. Also, a retroactive benefit was recorded in 2013 for the China Hi-Technology benefit. The lower effective rate as compared to the 35.0% statutory Federal income tax rate is driven by lower foreign tax rates.
As of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company had approximately $4.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect its effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal and state/local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010, and the Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2008.

The “Effect of dilutive securities” represents the dilution impact of equity awards. For the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, there were 0.3 million and 0.7 million options where the exercise price was above the average market price which were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive shares as the effect of such options was anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 28, 2014, there were 0.2 million and 0.6 million shares, respectively, where the exercise price was above the average market price and which were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive shares as the effect of such options was anti-dilutive.

12. CONTINGENCIES
One of the Company’s subsidiaries that it acquired in 2007 is subject to numerous claims filed in various jurisdictions relating to certain sub-fractional motors that were primarily manufactured through 2004 and that were included as components of residential and commercial ventilation units marketed by a third party. These claims generally allege that the ventilation units were the cause of fires. Based on the current facts, the Company does not believe these claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.
The Company is, from time to time, party to litigation that arises in the normal course of its business operations, including product warranty and liability claims, contract disputes and environmental, asbestos, employment and other litigation matters. The Company’s products are used in a variety of industrial, commercial and residential applications that subject the Company to claims that the use of its products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other damage. The Company accrues for exposures in amounts that it believes are adequate, and the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such lawsuit individually or collectively will have a material effect on the Company's financial position, its results of operations or its cash flows.
The Company recognizes the cost associated with its standard warranty on its products at the time of sale. The amount recognized is based on historical experience.
The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 (in millions):

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price, currency exchange and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company’s manufacturing process. Forward contracts on certain currencies are entered into to manage forecasted cash flows in certain foreign currencies. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating rate borrowings.
The Company must recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company designates commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities, currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency cash flows and interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. There were no significant collateral deposits on derivative financial instruments as of June 28, 2014.
Cash flow hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or changes in market value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized in current earnings. All derivative instruments used by the Company impact operating cash flows.
At June 28, 2014, the Company had $0.3 million, net of tax, of derivative gains on closed hedge instruments in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) that will be realized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. At December 28, 2013, the Company had $(0.7) million, net of tax, of derivative losses on closed hedge instruments in AOCI that was realized in earnings when the hedged items impacted earnings.
As of June 28, 2014, the Company had outstanding the following currency forward contracts (with maturities extending through December 2015) to hedge forecasted foreign currency cash flows (in millions):

The net AOCI hedging component balance of $(6.4) million loss at June 28, 2014 includes $(2.0) million of net current deferred losses expected to be realized in the next twelve months.
The Company's commodity and currency derivative contracts are subject to master netting agreements with the respective counterparties which allow the Company to net settle transactions with a single net amount payable by one party to another party. The Company has elected to present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis for the periods ended June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013.

14. FAIR VALUE
The Company uses a three-tier hierarchy to assess the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
 
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or
 
Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or
 
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The Company uses the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

24



The fair value of the Company's cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated book value as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, due to their short-term nature. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure of the approximate fair value of the Company's debt at June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013.
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013 (in millions):

The Company’s derivative contracts are valued at fair value using the market or income approaches. The Company measures the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts using Level 2 inputs based on observable spot and forward rates in active markets. The Company measures the fair value of commodity contracts using Level 2 inputs through observable market transactions in active markets provided by financial institutions. The Company measures the fair value of investments using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets. The Company measures the fair value of interest rate swaps using Level 2 inputs in an income approach for valuation based on expected interest rate yield curves over the remaining duration of the interest rate swaps. During the six months June 28, 2014, there were no transfers between classification Levels 1, 2 or 3.

The liabilities described above are comprised entirely of the deferred contingent purchase price of the Company's acquisitions and are measured using Level 3 inputs. The fair value was determined using valuation techniques based on risk and probability adjusted discounted cash flows.
15. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
Beginning in fiscal 2013 the Company announced the closure of several of its manufacturing and warehouse facilities and consolidation into existing facilities to simplify manufacturing operations in its Electrical segment. As a result of these closures, the Company incurred expenses including employee termination and plant relocation costs. The employee termination expenses are accrued over the remaining period while the plant relocation costs are expensed as incurred.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On June 30, 2014, the Company acquired all of the stock of Benshaw, Inc. ("Benshaw") for approximately $50.0 million. Benshaw will be included in the Electrical segment. Benshaw is a manufacturer of custom low and medium voltage variable frequency drives and soft starters. Its products are used in a wide range of applications including commercial HVAC, oil and gas and general industries. Benshaw has estimated annual revenues of approximately $60.0 million. The purchase price allocation is not disclosed as the initial accounting is incomplete as of the filing date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Item 2 to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer collectively to Regal Beloit Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Overview
Over the past several years, as part of our strategic growth plans, we have typically acquired multiple businesses in any given fiscal year. When we refer to the financial impact of the “recently acquired businesses,” we are referring to the results of operations of acquired businesses prior to the first anniversary of their acquisition.

On an ongoing basis, we focus on a variety of key indicators to monitor business performance. These indicators include organic and total sales growth (including volume and price components), gross profit margin, income from operations, net income and earnings per share, and measures to optimize the management of working capital, capital expenditures, cash flow and Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). We monitor these indicators, as well as our corporate governance practices (including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics), to ensure that we maintain business health and strong internal controls.

To achieve our financial objectives, we are focused on initiatives to drive and fund growth. We seek to capture significant opportunities for growth by identifying and meeting customer product needs within our core product categories, developing new products, and identifying product expansion opportunities. We meet these customer product needs through focused product research and development efforts as well as through a disciplined acquisition strategy. Our acquisition strategy emphasizes acquiring companies that offer market growth potential as a result of geographic base, technology or synergy opportunities. The cash flow needed to fund our growth is developed through continuous, corporate-wide initiatives to lower costs and increase effective asset utilization.

We also prioritize investments that generate higher return on capital. Our management team is compensated based on a modified Economic Value Added (“EVA”) program which reinforces capital allocation disciplines that drive increases in shareholder value. The key metrics in our program include total sales growth, organic sales growth, operating margin percentage, operating cash flow as a percent of net income, and ROIC.

We believe the U.S. commercial and industrial end markets are in a period of slow growth which we expect could continue into the third quarter. In recent periods we have seen declines in sales of our products used in commercial and industrial applications. We expect this type of slow economic growth could continue to pressure our organic sales growth in these end markets.

As the U.S. housing market recovers, there is improving demand for residential HVAC products. In the second quarter, the Company recorded its third consecutive quarter of growth in residential HVAC products. However, we continue to see competition on the basis of price, quality, delivery and responsiveness and customers periodically change suppliers to achieve cost savings, supplier diversity, technology advantages, or for other reasons. In addition, the market shares of our customers may change due to product differentiation, pricing, service, quality or consumer preferences. All of these factors impact our sales of residential and commercial HVAC products.

We have a subsidiary in Venezuela using accounting for highly inflationary economies. Currency restrictions recently enacted by the Venezuelan government have the potential to impact the ability of our subsidiary to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan bolivares fuertes ("Bolivars") at the official foreign exchange rate. In January 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the expansion of its auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD1). In March 2014, the Venezuelan government introduced an additional auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD2) which permits all companies incorporated or domiciled in Venezuela to bid for U.S. dollars. As of June 28, 2014, the SICAD1 and SICAD2 exchange rates were 10.6 and 50.0 Bolivars per U.S. dollar, respectively.
As of June 28, 2014, we continued to remeasure local currency transactions and balances into U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate of 6.3 based on charges incurred related to import tariffs. We believe that our imports will continue to qualify for the official rate and intend to pursue this rate for future exchanges. To date, we have not gained access to U.S. dollars in Venezuela through either SICAD1 or SICAD2 auctions. Whether we will be able to access either SICAD system in the foreseeable future and what volume of currency exchange will transact through these alternative mechanisms is unclear.
 
At June 28, 2014, we had approximately $11.0 million of net monetary assets denominated in Bolivars. In the event of a devaluation of the official exchange rate or if we were to determine that it is more appropriate to utilize one of the other legal auction-based

28



exchange rates for financial reporting purposes, it would result in us recording a devaluation charge in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Going forward, any devaluation in Venezuela will result in a reduction in the U.S. dollar reported amount of currency denominated revenues, expenses and, consequently, income before taxes. For example, if we had applied the SICAD1 exchange rate of 10.6 Bolivars to the U.S. dollar rate on June 28, 2014, it would have resulted in a non-recurring charge of $4.3 million or $0.06 per share. Similarly, if we had applied the SICAD2 exchange rate of 50.0 Bolivars to the U.S. dollar on June 28, 2014, it would have resulted in a non-recurring charge of $9.3 million or $0.13 per share.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter 2014 was 26.5% compared to 25.0% for the second quarter 2013 and was primarily driven by the increase in the Mexican tax rate in 2014. Also, a retroactive benefit was recorded in 2013 for the China Hi-Technology incentive. The lower effective rate as compared to the 35.0% statutory Federal income tax rate is driven by lower foreign tax rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flow, committed credit lines and existing cash balances. In addition to operating income, other significant factors affect our liquidity including working capital levels, capital expenditures, dividends, acquisitions, availability of debt financing, and the ability to attract long-term capital on acceptable terms.
Cash flow provided by operating activities (“operating cash flow”) was $145.3 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014, a $11.9 million decrease from the six months ended June 29, 2013, due to lower net income and increased working capital requirements in 2014.
Cash flow used in investing activities was $137.1 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014, an increase of $83.7 million from the three months ended June 29, 2013 primarily due to the acquisition of Hy-Bon. Capital expenditures were $42.9 million

in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to $47.2 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. Business acquisitions were $77.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014, compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, driven by the Hy-Bon acquisition in 2014.
Cash flow used in financing activities for the six months ended June 28, 2014 was $25.1 million compared to $64.0 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013, primarily driven by the repayment of our term loan in the six months ended June 29, 2013.
Working capital was $1.1 billion at June 28, 2014 and $1.0 billion at December 28, 2013, respectively.

A significant amount of operating income is earned in jurisdictions where it is deemed to be permanently reinvested. Our most prominent jurisdiction of operation is the U.S. We currently do not intend nor foresee a need to repatriate funds to the U.S., and no provision for U.S. income taxes has been made with respect to such earnings. It is expected that existing cash and cash equivalents available to the U.S., the cash generated by U.S. operations, committed credit lines as well as the expected ability to access the capital markets will be sufficient to fund U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. There are no current trends, demands or uncertainties that are believed reasonably likely to require repatriation or to have a material impact on our ability to fund our U.S. operations.
In August 2014, $150.0 million of the 2007 Notes will mature. We anticipate repaying these Notes at maturity with a combination of existing cash and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
At June 28, 2014, we had $750.0 million of senior notes (the “Notes”) outstanding. Details on the Notes at June 28, 2014 were (in millions):

(1) Interest rates vary as LIBOR varies. At June 28, 2014, the interest rate was 0.9%.

We have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) that matures in June 2016. The Facility permits the Company to borrow at interest rates based upon a margin above LIBOR. The margin varies with the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA as defined in the Facility. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR varies. We pay a commitment fee on the unused amount of the Facility, which also varies with the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA. At June 28, 2014, we had no outstanding balance on the Facility and had $23.7 million of standby letters of credit issued under the Facility with $476.3 million of available borrowing capacity.
At June 28, 2014, other notes payable of approximately $17.0 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.5%.
Based on rates for instruments with comparable maturities and credit quality, which are classified as Level 2 inputs, the approximate fair value of our Notes was $779.3 million and $779.6 million as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. We estimate that the fair value of other debt approximates book value.

35



The Notes and the Facility require us to meet specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 28, 2014. We believe that we will continue to be in compliance with these covenants for the foreseeable future.
We have interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk (See also Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Critical Accounting Policies

Our disclosures of critical accounting policies, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013, have not materially changed since that report was filed.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk relating to our operations due to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices of purchased raw materials. We manage the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, commodity cash flow hedges and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined policies and procedures, which strictly prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.
All qualified hedges are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) in each accounting period. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value, if any, is recorded in earnings in the period of change.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on certain of our short-term and long-term debt obligations used to finance our operations and acquisitions. At June 28, 2014, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps, we had $506.4 million of fixed rate debt and $260.6 million of variable rate debt. As a result, interest rate changes in variable rate debt impact future earnings and cash flow assuming other factors are constant. We utilize interest rate swaps to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from exposure to interest rate risk on forecasted variable rate interest payments. We have LIBOR-based floating rate borrowings, which expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in the weighted average borrowing rate on outstanding variable rate debt at June 28, 2014 would result in an immaterial change in after-tax annualized earnings.
We entered into pay fixed/receive LIBOR-based floating interest rate swaps to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. These interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges against forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. Details regarding these instruments, as of June 28, 2014, are as follows (in millions):

As of June 28, 2014, the interest rate swap liabilities of $(1.9) million and $(14.3) million were included in Hedging Obligations (current) and Hedging Obligations (noncurrent), respectively. As of December 28, 2013, the interest rate swap liabilities of $(5.7) million and $(16.1) million were included in Hedging Obligations (current) and Hedging Obligations (noncurrent), respectively. The unrealized loss on the effective portion of the contracts net of tax of $(10.1) million and $(13.5) million as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, was recorded in AOCI.

Foreign Currency Risk
We are also exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our objective is to minimize our exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the utilization of foreign currency exchange contracts. We do not hedge our exposure to the translation of reported results of foreign subsidiaries from local currency to United States dollars.
Venezuela
We expect the uncertain economic business conditions in Venezuela to adversely impact our sales and operating margins in future quarters. In 2013, net sales in Venezuela were less than one percent of our total net sales.
We have a subsidiary in Venezuela using accounting for highly inflationary economies. Currency restrictions recently enacted by the Venezuelan government have the potential to impact the ability of our subsidiary to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan bolivares fuertes ("Bolivars") at the official foreign exchange rate. In January 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the expansion of its auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD1). In March 2014, the Venezuelan government introduced an additional auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD2) which permits all companies incorporated or domiciled in Venezuela to bid for U.S. dollars. As of June 28, 2014, the SICAD1 and SICAD2 exchange rates were 10.6 and 50.0 Bolivars per U.S. dollar, respectively.
As of June 28, 2014, we continued to remeasure local currency transactions and balances into U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate of 6.3 based on charges incurred related to import tariffs. We believe that our imports will continue to qualify for the official rate and intend to pursue this rate for future exchanges. To date, we have not gained access to U.S. dollars in Venezuela through

37



either SICAD1 or SICAD2 auctions. Whether we will be able to access either SICAD system in the foreseeable future and what volume of currency exchange will transact through these alternative mechanisms is unclear.
At June 28, 2014, we had approximately $11.0 million of net monetary assets denominated in Bolivars. In the event of a devaluation of the official exchange rate or if we were to determine that it is more appropriate to utilize one of the other legal auction-based exchange rates for financial reporting purposes, it would result in us recording a devaluation charge in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Going forward, any devaluation in Venezuela will result in a reduction in the U.S. dollar reported amount of currency denominated revenues, expenses and, consequently, income before taxes. For example, if we had applied the SICAD1 exchange rate of 10.6 Bolivars to the U.S. dollar rate on June 28, 2014, it would have resulted in a non-recurring charge of $4.3 million or $0.06 per share. Similarly, if we had applied the SICAD2 exchange rate of 50.0 Bolivars to the U.S. dollar on June 28, 2014, it would have resulted in a non-recurring charge of $9.3 million or $0.13 per share.
Derivatives
As of June 28, 2014, derivative currency assets (liabilities) of $6.1 million, $2.2 million, $(2.4) million and $(0.7) million, are recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, Other Noncurrent Assets, Hedging Obligations (current), and Hedging Obligations (noncurrent), respectively. As of December 28, 2013, derivative currency assets (liabilities) of $8.4 million, $0.7 million, $(3.1) million and $(0.7) million, are recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, Other Noncurrent Assets, Hedging Obligations (current), and Hedging Obligations (noncurrent), respectively. The unrealized gains on the effective portion of the contracts of $3.3 million net of tax, and $3.4 million net of tax, as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, was recorded in AOCI. At June 28, 2014, we had $1.4 million, net of tax, of currency gains on closed hedge instruments in AOCI that will be realized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. At December 28, 2013, we had $0.8 million of derivative currency gains on closed hedge instruments in AOCI that were realized in 2014 when the hedged items impacted earnings.
The following table quantifies the outstanding foreign exchange contracts intended to hedge non-U.S. dollar denominated receivables and payables and the corresponding impact on the value of these instruments assuming a hypothetical 10% appreciation/depreciation of their counter currency on June 28, 2014 (in millions):

Gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would be offset by gains and losses on the underlying forecasted non-U.S. dollar denominated cash flows.
Commodity Price Risk
We periodically enter into commodity hedging transactions to reduce the impact of changing prices for certain commodities such as copper and aluminum based upon forecasted purchases of such commodities. The majority of these transactions are designated as cash flow hedges and the contract terms of commodity hedge instruments generally mirror those of the hedged item, providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation.
Derivative commodity assets (liabilities) of $3.2 million and $(3.0) million were recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and Hedging Obligations (current), respectively, at June 28, 2014. Derivative commodity assets (liabilities) of $4.7 million and $(2.5) million are recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Hedging Obligations (current), respectively, at December 28, 2013. The unrealized gain (loss) on the effective portion of the contracts of $0.1 million net of tax and $1.3 million net of tax, as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, was recorded in AOCI. At June 28, 2014, we had $(1.1) million, net of tax, of derivative commodity losses on closed hedge instruments in AOCI that will be realized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. At December 28, 2013, there was $(1.5) million, net of tax, of derivative commodity losses on closed hedge instruments in AOCI that were realized in 2014 when the hedged items impacted earnings.

Gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would be offset by the actual prices of the commodities.
The net AOCI balance of $(6.4) million loss at June 28, 2014 includes $(2.0) million of net current deferred losses expected to be realized in the next twelve months.
Counterparty Risk
We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to various financial agreements, including our interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency exchange contracts and commodity hedging transactions. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk by limiting our counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines and continually monitoring their compliance with the credit guidelines. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. We do not anticipate non-performance by our counterparties, but cannot provide assurances.
