The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). Investments in 50% or less owned affiliates are accounted for using either cost or the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Interim Period Reporting
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (the 2012 Annual Report).
The unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth therein, in accordance with GAAP. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The Companys quarterly results fluctuate. As a result, the Company believes the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, net of applicable provision for discounts, returns and incentives, whether actual or estimated, based on the Companys experience. This generally occurs when products are shipped to the customer in accordance with the sales agreement or purchase order, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer, collectability is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. The Companys general shipping terms are F.O.B. shipping point, where title is transferred and revenue is recognized when the products are shipped to customers. When the Company sells F.O.B. destination point, title is transferred and the Company recognizes revenue on delivery or customer acceptance, depending on terms of the sales agreement. Service sales, representing after-market repair and maintenance, engineering activities, software license sales and services and lease income, though significantly less than 1% of net sales and not material to the consolidated financial statements, are recognized as the services are completed or the software products and services are delivered. If actual costs of sales returns, incentives and discounts were to significantly exceed the recorded estimated allowance, the Companys sales would be adversely affected.
Net Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculations for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
With the approval of the Companys stockholders on April 26, 2011, the Company adopted the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan). The 2011 Plan amended and restated in their entirety, and incorporated and superseded, both the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the 1994 Plan), which was principally for the Companys employees, and the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1995 Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the 1995 Plan), which was for its independent directors. Options previously granted under the 1994 Plan or the 1995 Plan will not be affected by the adoption of the 2011 Plan and will continue to be governed by the 1994 Plan or the 1995 Plan, respectively.
Under the 1994 Plan, the Company could grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The Company, however, granted only non-qualified stock options under both the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan. The Company generally granted options under each of the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan once each year. The exercise price per share of each option granted under the 1994 Plan equaled the closing market price per share of the Companys common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the day preceding the day that the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Companys Board of Directors met to approve the grant of the options. The exercise price per share under each option granted under the 1995 Plan was at the fair market value on the date specified in the 1995 Plan. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date. Options granted under the 1994 Plan typically vest evenly over the requisite service period of four years and have a term of seven years. The vesting of options granted under the 1994 Plan will be accelerated if the grantee ceases to be employed by the Company after reaching age 60 or if there is a change in control of the Company. Options granted under the 1995 Plan were fully vested on the date of grant. Shares of common stock issued on exercise of stock options under the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, although the Company currently intends to award primarily restricted stock units and to a lesser extent, if at all, non-qualified stock options. The Company does not currently intend to award incentive stock options or restricted stock. Under the 2011 Plan, no more than 16.3 million shares of the Companys common stock may be issued (including shares already sold) pursuant to all awards under the 2011 Plan, including on exercise of options previously granted under the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan. Shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2011 Plan are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

The amounts included in cost of sales, research and development and other engineering, selling, or general and administrative expense depend on the job functions performed by the employees to whom the stock options and restricted stock units were awarded.
The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted or restricted stock units awarded are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Companys experience.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Companys assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial assets or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Companys investments consisted of only United States Treasury securities and money market funds, which are the Companys primary financial instruments, maintained in cash equivalents and carried at cost, approximating fair value, based on Level 1 inputs. The balance of the Companys primary financial instruments was as follows:

|
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Companys line of credit is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and is calculated based on borrowings with similar maturities, current remaining average life to maturity and current market conditions.
Income Taxes
The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate to measure the tax benefit or tax expense recognized in each interim period. The effective tax rate decrease from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013 was primarily due to reduced valuation allowances taken on lower second quarter 2013 operating losses in the Europe and Asia/Pacific segments. The effective tax rate decrease from the first half of 2012 to the first half of 2013 was primarily due to $2.3 million in non-deductible acquisition costs recorded in 2012.

Acquisitions
In January 2012, the Company purchased all of the shares of S&P Clever, for $58.1 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. S&P Clever manufactures and sells engineered materials to repair, strengthen and restore concrete, masonry and asphalt and has operations in Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Poland, The Netherlands and Austria. Payments under the purchase agreement included cash payments of $57.5 million and contingent consideration of $0.6 million payable over a three-year period if sales goals are met. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has increased its presence in the infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction markets in Europe. The Companys measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed included cash and cash equivalents of $6.8 million, other current assets of $10.8 million, non-current assets of $53.4 million, current liabilities of $12.6 million and non-current liabilities of $0.2 million. Included in non-current assets is goodwill of $19.3 million, which was assigned to the Europe segment and is not deductible for tax purposes, intangible assets of $15.7 million, the amortization of which is not deductible for tax purposes and long-lived intangibles of $4.8 million related to in-progress product development, which will be amortized when the Company markets the product for sale. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 9.8 years.
In March 2012, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of CarbonWrap Solutions, L.L.C. (CarbonWrap) for $5.5 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. CarbonWrap develops fiber-reinforced polymer products primarily for infrastructure and transportation projects. Payments under the purchase agreement totaled $5.3 million in cash and contingent consideration of $0.2 million paid on resolution of specified post-closing contingencies to the principal officer of CarbonWrap, who is now employed by the Company. The Companys measurement of assets acquired included goodwill of $3.5 million, which was assigned to the North America segment and is deductible for tax purposes, and intangible assets of $1.7 million, which is subject to tax-deductible amortization. Net tangible assets consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and prepaid expenses accounted for the balance of the purchase price. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 15.6 years.
In February 2013, the Company purchased certain assets relating to the TJ® ShearBrace (ShearBrace) product line of Weyerhaeuser NR Company (Weyerhaeuser) for $5.3 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. The ShearBrace is a line of pre-fabricated shearwalls that will complement the Companys Strong-Wall shearwall, and is sold throughout North America. The Companys provisional measurement of assets acquired included goodwill of $2.6 million that has been assigned to the North America segment, and intangible assets of $1.9 million, both of which are subject to tax-deductible amortization. Net tangible assets consisting of inventory and equipment accounted for the balance of the purchase price.
Under the business combinations topic of the FASB ASC, the Company accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations and ascribed acquisition-date fair values to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Provisional fair value measurements were made in the first quarter of 2013 for acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the acquisition date, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Fair value of intangible assets was based on Level 3 inputs. The Company expects the measurement process for each acquisition to be finalized within a year of its acquisition date.
Pro-forma financial information is not presented as it would not be materially different from the information presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to the comprehensive income guidance requiring reporting of the effect of significant reclassifications out of other comprehensive income on the respective lines in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional information about these amounts. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those years. The implementation of this amended accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the ASC), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

The Companys vacant facility in Hungen, Germany, remained classified as an asset held for sale as of June 30, 2013, consistent with the classification at December 31, 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that the carrying value of its Ireland facility, associated with the Europe segment, exceeded its net estimated realizable value, and therefore recorded an impairment charge, within general and administrative expenses, of $1.0 million, equal to the amount by which carrying value exceeds net estimated realizable value. See note 10.
Determining the fair value of the Ireland facility is a judgment involving estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include lease rates, operating costs and inflation factors used to calculate projected future cash flows and future economic and market conditions (Level 3 fair value inputs). The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable, but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.

6. Debt
The Company has revolving lines of credit with various banks in the United States and Europe. Total available credit at June 30, 2013, was $307.5 million, including revolving credit lines and an irrevocable standby letter of credit in support of various insurance deductibles.
The Companys primary credit facility is a revolving line of credit with $300.0 million in available credit. This credit facility will expire in July 2017. Amounts borrowed under this credit facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to either, at the Companys option, (a) the rate for Eurocurrency deposits for the corresponding deposits of U.S. dollars appearing on Reuters LIBOR01screen page (the LIBOR Rate), adjusted for any reserve requirement in effect, plus a spread of 0.60% to 1.45%, determined quarterly based on the Companys leverage ratio (at June 30, 2013, the LIBOR Rate was 0.19%), or (b) a base rate, plus a spread of 0.00% to 0.45%, determined quarterly based on the Companys leverage ratio. The base rate is defined in a manner such that it will not be less than the LIBOR Rate. The Company will pay fees for standby letters of credit at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable spread described above, and will pay market-based fees for commercial letters of credit. The Company is required to pay an annual facility fee of 0.15% to 0.30% of the available commitments under the credit agreement, regardless of usage, with the applicable fee determined on a quarterly basis based on the Companys leverage ratio. The Company was also required to pay customary fees as specified in a separate fee agreement between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as the Agent under the credit agreement.
The Companys borrowing capacity under other revolving credit lines and a term note totaled $8.7 million at June 30, 2013. The other revolving credit lines and term note charge interest ranging from 1.018% to 11.515%, have maturity dates from August 2013 to September 2020, and had outstanding balances totaling $1.2 million at June 30, 2013. The Company had outstanding balances of $4.8 million and $0.2 million on June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at June 30, 2013.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Annual Report provides information concerning commitments and contingencies. From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business. The resolution of claims and litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Pending Claims
Four lawsuits (the Cases) have been filed against the Company in the Hawaii First Circuit Court: Alvarez v. Haseko Homes, Inc. and Simpson Manufacturing, Inc., Civil No. 09-1-2697-11 (Case 1); Ke Noho Kai Development, LLC v. Simpson Strong-Tie Company, Inc., and Honolulu Wood Treating Co., LTD., Case No. 09-1-1491-06 SSM (Case 2); North American Specialty Ins. Co. v. Simpson Strong-Tie Company, Inc. and K.C. Metal Products, Inc., Case No. 09-1-1490-06 VSM (Case 3); and Charles et al. v. Haseko Homes, Inc. et al. and Third Party Plaintiffs Haseko Homes, Inc. et al. v. Simpson Strong-Tie Company, Inc., et al., Civil No. 09-1-1932-08 (Case 4). Case 1 was filed on November 18, 2009. Cases 2 and 3 were originally filed on June 30, 2009. Case 4 was filed on August 19, 2009. The Cases all relate to alleged premature corrosion of the Companys strap tie holdown products installed in buildings in a housing development known as Ocean Pointe in Honolulu, Hawaii, allegedly causing property damage. Case 1 is a putative class action brought by the owners of allegedly affected Ocean Pointe houses. Case 1 was originally filed as Kai et al. v. Haseko Homes, Inc., Haseko Construction, Inc. and Simpson Manufacturing, Inc., Case No. 09-1-1476, but was voluntarily dismissed and then re-filed with a new representative plaintiff. Case 2 is an action by the builders and developers of Ocean Pointe against the Company, claiming that either the Companys strap tie holdowns are defective in design or manufacture or the Company failed to provide adequate warnings regarding the products susceptibility to corrosion in certain environments. Case 3 is a subrogation action brought by the insurance company for the builders and developers against the Company claiming the insurance company expended funds to correct problems allegedly caused by the Companys products. Case 4 is a putative class action brought, like Case 1, by owners of allegedly affected Ocean Pointe homes. In Case 4, Haseko Homes, Inc. (Haseko), the developer of the Ocean Pointe development, brought a third party complaint against the Company alleging that any damages for which Haseko may be liable are actually the fault of the Company. Similarly, Hasekos sub-contractors on the Ocean Pointe development brought cross-claims against the Company seeking indemnity and contribution for any amounts for which they may ultimately be found liable. None of the Cases alleges a specific amount of damages sought, although each of the Cases seeks compensatory damages, and Case 1 seeks punitive damages. Cases 1 and 4 have been consolidated. In December 2012, the Court granted the Company summary judgment on the claims asserted by the plaintiff homeowners in Cases 1 and 4, and on the third party complaint and cross-claims asserted by Haseko and the sub-contractors, respectively, in Case 4. In April 2013, the Court granted Haseko and the sub-contractors motion for leave to amend their cross-claims to allege a claim for
negligent misrepresentation. The Company continues to investigate the facts underlying the claims asserted in the Cases, including, among other things, the cause of the alleged corrosion; the severity of any problems shown to exist; the buildings affected; the responsibility of the general contractor, various subcontractors and other construction professionals for the alleged damages; the amount, if any, of damages suffered; and the costs of repair, if needed. At this time, the likelihood that the Company will be found liable under any legal theory and the extent of such liability, if any, are unknown. Management believes the Cases may not be resolved for an extended period. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in connection with the Cases.
Based on facts currently known to the Company, the Company believes that all or part of the claims alleged in the Cases may be covered by its insurance policies. On April 19, 2011, an action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA v. Simpson Manufacturing Company, Inc., et al., Civil No. 11-00254 ACK. In this action, Plaintiff National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (National Union), which issued certain Commercial General Liability insurance policies to the Company, seeks declaratory relief in the Cases with respect to its obligations to defend or indemnify the Company, Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc., and a vendor of the Companys strap tie holdown products. By Order dated November 7, 2011, all proceedings in the National Union action have been stayed. If the stay is lifted and the National Union action is not dismissed, the Company intends vigorously to defend all claims advanced by National Union.
On April 12, 2011, Firemans Fund Insurance Company (Firemans Fund), another of the Companys general liability insurers, sued Hartford Fire Insurance Company (Hartford), a third insurance company from whom the Company purchased general liability insurance, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Firemans Fund Insurance Company v. Hartford Fire Insurance Company, Civil No. 11 1789 SBA (the Firemans Fund action). The Company has intervened in the Firemans Fund action and has moved to stay all proceedings in that action as well, pending resolution of the underlying Ocean Pointe Cases.
On November 21, 2011, the Company commenced a lawsuit against National Union, Firemans Fund, Hartford and others in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the City and County of San Francisco (the San Francisco coverage action). In the San Francisco coverage action, the Company alleges generally that the separate pendency of the National Union action and the Firemans Fund action presents a risk of inconsistent adjudications; that the San Francisco Superior Court has jurisdiction over all of the parties and should exercise jurisdiction at the appropriate time to resolve any and all disputes that have arisen or may in the future arise among the Company and its liability insurers; and that the San Francisco coverage action should also be stayed pending resolution of the underlying Ocean Pointe Cases. The San Francisco coverage action has been ordered stayed pending resolution of the Cases.
Nishimura v. Gentry Homes, Ltd; Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc.; and Simpson Strong-Tie Company, Inc., Civil no. 11-1-1522-07, was filed in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit of Hawaii on July 20, 2011. The Nishimura case alleges premature corrosion of the Companys strap tie holdown products in a housing development at Ewa Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii. The case is a putative class action brought by owners of allegedly affected homes. The Complaint alleges that the Companys strap products and mudsill anchors are insufficiently corrosion resistant and/or fail to comply with Honolulus building code. In February 2012, the Court dismissed three of the five claims the plaintiffs had asserted against the Company. The Company is currently investigating the allegations of the complaint, including, among other things: the existence and extent of the alleged corrosion, if any; the building code provisions alleged to be applicable and, if applicable, whether the products complied; the buildings affected; the responsibility of the general contractor, various subcontractors and other construction professionals for the alleged damages; the amount, if any, of damages suffered; and the costs of repair, if any are needed. At this time, the likelihood that the Company will be found liable for any damage allegedly suffered and the extent of such liability, if any, are unknown. The Company denies any liability of any kind and intends to defend itself vigorously in this case.
With respect to these legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, the Company has not yet been able to determine whether an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and has not been able to reasonably estimate the amount or range of any possible loss. As a result, no amounts have been accrued or disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these legal proceedings.
The Company is not engaged in any other legal proceedings as of the date hereof, which the Company expects individually or in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. The resolution of claims and litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Other
The Companys policy with regard to environmental liabilities is to accrue for future environmental assessments and remediation costs when information becomes available that indicates that it is probable that the Company is liable for any related claims and assessments and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Corrosion, hydrogen enbrittlement, cracking, material hardness, wood pressure-treating chemicals, misinstallations, misuse, design and assembly flaws, manufacturing defects, environmental conditions or other factors can contribute to failure of fasteners, connectors, tools, anchors, adhesives and tool products. On occasion, some of the products that the Company sells have failed, although the Company has not incurred any material liability resulting from those failures. The Company attempts to avoid such failures by establishing and monitoring appropriate product specifications, manufacturing quality control procedures, inspection procedures and information on appropriate installation methods and conditions. The Company subjects its products to extensive testing, with results and conclusions published in Company catalogues and on its websites. Based on test results to date, the Company believes that, generally, if its products are appropriately selected, installed and used in accordance with the Companys guidance, they may be reliably used in appropriate applications.
8. Stock-Based Incentive Plans
The Company currently has one stock-based incentive plan, which incorporates and supersedes its two previous plans (see Note 1 Basis of Presentation Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation). Participants are granted stock-based awards only if the applicable Company-wide or profit-center operating goals, or both, established by the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board of Directors at the beginning of the year, are met. Certain participants may have additional goals based on strategic initiatives of the Company.
The fair value of each restricted stock unit award is estimated on the date of the award based on the closing market price of the underlying stock on the day preceding the date of the award. On February 6, 2013, 359,371 restricted stock units were awarded, including 9,975 awarded to the Companys directors who are not employees, at an estimated value of $31.96 per share, based on the closing price on February 5, 2013. The restrictions on these awards generally lapse one quarter on the date of the award and one quarter on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the award.

* The intrinsic value is calculated using the closing price per share of $29.42 as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on June 28, 2013.
Based on the market value on the award date, the total intrinsic value of vested restricted stock units during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, was $5.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility was based on historical volatilities of the Companys common stock measured monthly over a term that is equivalent to the expected life of the stock option. The expected term of each stock option was estimated based on the Companys prior exercise experience and future expectations of the exercise and termination behavior of the grantees. The risk-free rate was based on the yield of United States Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities comparable to the expected life in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield was based on the expected dividend yield on the grant date.
No stock options were granted in 2012 or the first half of 2013. The following table summarizes the Companys stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

9. Segment Information
The Company is organized into three reportable segments. The segments are defined by the regions where the Companys products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Companys customers. The three regional segments are the North America segment, comprising primarily the United States and Canada, the Europe segment, and the Asia/Pacific segment, comprising the Companys operations in China, Hong Kong, the South Pacific and the Middle East. These segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials, the production processes, the distribution channels and the product applications.
The Companys measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments is income (loss) from operations. The reconciling amounts between consolidated income before tax and consolidated income from operations are net interest income, which is primarily attributed to Administrative and All Other.
The following table illustrates certain measurements used by management to assess the performance as of or for the following periods:

Cash collected by the Companys United States subsidiaries is routinely transferred into the Companys cash management accounts and, therefore, has been included in the total assets of Administrative and all other. Cash and cash equivalent balances in the Administrative and all other segment were $86.8 million, $82.6 million, and $91.9 million, as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Wood construction products include connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and pre-fabricated shearwalls and are used for connecting and strengthening wood-based construction primarily in the residential construction market. Concrete construction products include adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors, carbide drill bits, powder actuated tools and fiber reinforcing materials and are used for restoration, protection or strengthening concrete, masonry and steel construction in residential, industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction.
10. Plant Closure
In September 2012, the Company decided to discontinue manufacturing heavy-duty mechanical anchors made in its facility in Ireland, which were sold mainly in Europe, to focus on selling light-duty and medium-duty anchors and fastener products in conjunction with its connector products. In December 2012, the Company ceased producing and selling heavy-duty mechanical anchors and terminated employees in Europe, primarily in Ireland and Germany, who were manufacturing, selling or supporting the product line. In July 2013, the Company concluded all remaining closing activities associated with the terminated product line, including transferring remaining inventories and certain fixed assets to its other operating locations, and began preparing the site for lease or sale. All costs associated with the closure are reported in the Europe segment.
At December 31, 2012, the long-lived assets of the Ireland facility had a net book value of $2.8 million, including land and building with a net book value of $2.7 million. Due to an adverse real estate market, the Company has decided to pursue leasing the facility until the market value of the facility recovers sufficiently. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that the carrying value of its Ireland facility, associated with the Europe segment, exceeded its net estimated realizable value, and therefore recorded an impairment charge, within general and administrative expenses, of $1.0 million, equal to the amount by which carrying value exceeds net estimated realizable value. Remaining equipment with a net book value of $0.1 million was sold to outside parties, transferred to other branches within the Company or scrapped. See note 4.
In 2012, the Company recorded employee severance obligations of $3.0 million, of which $2.4 million was paid in 2012, and $0.6 million was accrued at December 31, 2012. In the first half of 2013, severance payments of $77 thousand were made and severance charges of $36 thousand were reversed due to the decision to retain an employee. No additional severance obligations were recorded in 2013. The remaining balance of $0.4 million to be paid in 2013 represents the statutory and discretionary amounts due to employees that were or will be involuntarily terminated. The Company does not expect to record additional severance expense in 2013.
Closure liabilities are recognized when a transaction or event has occurred that leaves little or no discretion to avoid future settlement of the liability. The Company estimates that closure costs will total $0.7 million, all of which will be allocated to operating expenses. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded $0.3 million in plant closure expenses, of which $0.2 million was paid in 2012 and $0.1 million is to be paid in 2013. In the first half of 2013, the Company had recorded $35 thousand in plant closure costs and paid $125 thousand in accrued plant closure costs, with $18 thousand to be paid during the remainder of 2013. The Company estimates additional closure costs of $0.4 million will be incurred and paid in 2013.
11. Subsequent Events
In July 2013, the Companys Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share, estimated to total $6.0 million, to be paid on October 24, 2013, to stockholders of record on October 3, 2013.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This document contains forward-looking statements, based on numerous assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it does not and cannot give any assurance that its beliefs and expectations will prove to be correct. Many factors could significantly affect the Companys operations and cause the Companys actual results to be substantially different from the Companys expectations. See Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors. Actual results might differ materially from results suggested by any forward-looking statements in this report. The Company does not have an obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of the receipt of new information, the occurrence of future events or otherwise.
The following is a discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the Company for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013. The following should be read in conjunction with the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes appearing elsewhere herein.
Overview
The Company designs, manufactures and sells building construction products that are of high quality and performance, easy to use and cost-effective for customers. It operates in three business segments determined by geographic region: North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific. The Companys stated goals are to strengthen its core wood construction products, expand its global footprint to be less dependent on housing starts in the United States and continue to invest in its strategic initiatives, such as an expanded offering of concrete construction products, particularly specialty chemicals, and wood construction products, particularly truss plate and software offerings.
The North America segment sells both wood and concrete construction products. With the Companys ongoing investment in its integrated component systems offering and the acquisition of Keymarks software development team and Weyerhaeusers line of shearwalls, the Company continues to expand product lines that complement its core wood construction product group.
The Europe segment also sells both wood and concrete construction products and until recently sold primarily wood construction products. In September 2012, the Company decided to discontinue manufacturing and selling heavy-duty mechanical anchors in Europe to focus on other concrete construction products, such as its light-duty and medium-duty anchors, chemical-based products and carbon-fiber-based products. Closing the heavy-duty mechanical anchor business will save the segment an estimated $0.9 million in operating losses per quarter, excluding closing costs. Based on current conditions, the Company estimates the Europe segment will either break-even or report a small operating profit for the year 2013.
The Asia/Pacific segment sells both wood and concrete construction products in nearly equal amounts. With the expansion of product lines that repair, protect and strengthen concrete, brick, mortar or asphalt construction, the Company hopes to increase concrete construction product sales in the Asia/Pacific segment. Based on current conditions, the Company estimates the Asia/Pacific segment will report an operating loss for the year 2013.
The Admin & All Other column includes expenses such as self-insured workers compensation claims, if any, for certain members of management, stock compensation for certain members of management, interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses and income tax expense. It also includes revenues and expenses related to real estate activities, such as rental income and depreciation expense on the Companys facility in Vacaville, California, which the Company has leased to a third party for a term expiring in August 2020.
Housing starts have increased recently, and the Company has begun to benefit from that increase. Unlike lumber or other products that have a more direct correlation to starts, however, the Companys products are used to a greater extent in areas that are subject to natural forces, such as seismic or wind events. The Companys products are used in a sequential process that follows the construction process. Residential and commercial construction begins with the foundation, followed by the wall and the roof systems, and the installation of the Companys products flow into a project or a house according to those schedules. Foundation product sales could be considered a leading indicator for the Company. Year-to-date sales through June 2013 of these products increased in the low double digits compared to the same period in 2012.
The Companys sales also tend to be seasonal, with operating results varying from quarter to quarter. With some exceptions, the Companys sales and income have historically been lower in the first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters of the year, as customers purchase construction materials in the late spring and summer months for the construction season. In addition, weather conditions, such as extended cold or wet weather, which affect and sometimes delay installation of some of the Companys products, could negatively affect the Companys results of operations. Political and economic events can also affect the Companys sales and profitability.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013, Compared with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Net sales increased 7.6% to $195.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 from $181.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. The Company had net income of $18.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to net income of $15.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. Diluted net income per common share was $0.38 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to diluted net income of $0.33 per common share for the second quarter of 2012. Income from operations increased 9.3% to $29.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 from $27.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. The following table illustrates the differences in the Companys operating results in the three months ended June 30, 2013, from the three months ended June 30, 2012, and the increases or decreases for each category by segment.

The increase in the Companys second quarter 2013 net sales was primarily due to increased sales in North America, which were affected by improved economic conditions, including a greater number of housing starts compared to the second quarter of 2012. Net sales were affected negatively by economic conditions in Europe, reduced home center sales and lower selling prices in regions of the United States, Canada and Europe.
· Segment net sales:
· North America net sales increased 10.5% in the second quarter of 2013, compared to the second quarter of 2012. Net sales in the United States increased in all regions over the same period in 2012, despite the loss of some home center business and price reductions of 3% on average. Canada net sales decreased slightly over the same period in 2012 due to lower sales volumes and lower selling prices.
· Europe net sales decreased 5.9% in the second quarter of 2013, compared to the second quarter of 2012, with approximately half of the decrease due to exiting the heavy-duty mechanical anchor business. The regions economic conditions, extended winter conditions and price decreases also contributed to the lower net sales. Effects due to foreign currency translation were not significant.
· Consolidated net sales channels and product groups:
· Net sales to contractor distributors, dealer distributers and lumber dealers increased in the second quarter of 2013, compared to the second quarter of 2012, while net sales to home centers decreased, partly as a result of the loss of Lowes Companies, Inc. (Lowes) as a customer in the second quarter of 2012. Lowes accounted for $5.3 million in net sales in the second quarter of 2012.
· Excluding Lowes, net sales to home centers increased 6% in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012, while net sales to the Companys largest customer increased 10% over the same period.
· Wood construction product sales, including connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and shearwalls, represented 85% of total Company sales in the second quarter of each of 2013 and 2012.
· Concrete construction product sales, including adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors, powder actuated tools and reinforcing fiber materials, represented 15% of total Company sales in the second quarter of each of 2013 and 2012.
