CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT
This Quarterly Report contains
“forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements represent our
management’s judgment regarding future events. In many cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,”
“will,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” or
“continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar
words. Actual results and events could differ materially and
adversely from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number
of factors, including:
·
|
economic
changes in global markets where we do business, such as currency exchange
rates, inflation rates, interest rates, recession, foreign government
policies and other external factors that we cannot
control;
|
·
|
unanticipated
fluctuations in commodity prices and raw material
costs;
|
·
|
cyclical
downturns affecting the global market for capital
goods;
|
·
|
unexpected
issues and costs arising from the integration of acquired companies and
businesses;
|
·
|
marketplace
acceptance of new and existing products including the loss of, or a
decline in business from, any significant
customers;
|
·
|
the
impact of capital market transactions that we may
effect;
|
·
|
the
availability and effectiveness of our information technology
systems;
|
·
|
unanticipated
costs associated with litigation
matters;
|
·
|
actions
taken by our competitors;
|
·
|
difficulties
in staffing and managing foreign operations;
and
|
·
|
other
risks and uncertainties including but not limited to those described in
Item 1A-Risk Factors
of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27,
2008 and from time to time in our reports filed with U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
|

subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
applicable cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements
included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of their respective dates, and we

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
28, 2008
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007,
which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 28, 2008 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 financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2008.
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 six months ended June 28, 2008 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
fiscal year ending December 27, 2008.
2. INVENTORIES
Cost for
approximately 65% of the Company’s inventory is determined using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method. The approximate

allocations for Hwada are preliminary, pending the finalization of working
capital adjustments and purchase price adjustments. Additionally,
under the terms of the transaction, the Company will pay to the seller up to
$8.5 million received in the future upon the sale of certain real property
rights owned by Hwada.

A
reclassification of $2.9 million and $5.7 million in sales and $.8 million and
$1.4 million of income from operations was made to results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as previously reported, to reflect the
transfer of certain product sales and related operating income from an
Electrical Segment unit to a Mechanical Segment unit due to a first quarter 2008
change in management and reporting of such product sales.
7. GOODWILL AND OTHER
INTANGIBLES
Goodwill
As
described above in Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company acquired one business in 2008 and four separate
businesses in 2007. The purchase price allocations are preliminary,
pending the finalization of working capital, valuations and further analysis of
contingencies. The excess of purchase price over estimated fair value
was assigned to goodwill. Adjustments to the estimated fair value of
the net assets acquired may be recorded during the allocation period, not to
exceed one year from the date of acquisition.
A
preliminary allocation of $87.9 million was included in goodwill at June 28,
2008 related to the four 2007 acquisitions. During the six months ended June 28,
2008, the Company completed the fair value analysis of certain property located
at the Kolkata, India facility resulting in an increase of the value assigned to
property, plant and equipment and a corresponding decrease to goodwill which is
included in the table below.
The 2008
acquisition of Hwada resulted in an additional preliminary goodwill allocation
of $3.2 million in the six months ended June 28, 2008.
The
Company believes that substantially all of the goodwill is deductible for tax
purposes. The following information presents changes to goodwill during the

During
2007, in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company issued and sold $250.0 million
of senior notes (the “Notes”). The Notes were sold pursuant to a
Note
Purchase
Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company and the purchasers of the
Notes. The Notes were issued and sold in two
series: $150.0 million in Floating Rate Series 2007A Senior Notes,
Tranche A, due August 23, 2014, and $100.0 million in Floating Rate Series 2007A
Senior Notes, Tranche B, due August 23, 2017. The Notes bear interest
at a margin over the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which margin
varies with the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt to consolidated
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as
defined in the Agreement. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR
varies. The Agreement permits the Company to issue and sell
additional note series, subject to certain terms and conditions described in the
Agreement, up to a total of $600.0 million in combined Notes.
On June
16, 2008, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan”) with
certain financial institutions, whereby the Company borrowed an aggregate
principal amount of $165.0 million. The Term Loan matures in June 2013, and
borrowings generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) a margin over
LIBOR, which margin varies depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied,
or (ii) the alternate base rate as defined in the agreement. At June
28, 2008, the interest rate of 3.8% was based on a margin over LIBOR. The
proceeds from the Term Loan were used to payoff the balance on the Company’s
revolving credit facility.
The
Company’s $500.0 million revolving credit facility (“Facility”) permits the
Company to borrow at interest rates based upon a margin above LIBOR, which
margin varies with the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA. 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 debt to EBITDA as defined in the Facility.
The
Notes, the Term Loan 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 debt covenants as
of June 28, 2008.
The
Company’s $115.0 million, 2.75% convertible senior subordinated debt is
convertible as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the
contingent conversion share price for the specified amount of
time. As a result, holders of the notes may surrender the notes for
conversion at any time until the maturing of the bonds in March
2024. Holders that exercise their right to convert the notes will
receive up to the principal amount of the notes in cash, with the balance of the
conversion obligation, if any, to be satisfied in shares of Company common stock
or cash, at the Company’s discretion. No notes have been converted
into cash or shares of common stock as of June 28,
2008.
As part
of the 2008 acquisition of Hwada (see Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements), the Company assumed $21.6 million of short term
notes payable to banks. At June 28, 2008, the balance of these notes
payable was approximately $21.8 million. The weighted average
interest rate was 7.3% at June 28, 2008.
As of
June 28, 2008, a foreign subsidiary of the Company had outstanding borrowings of
$5.0 million denominated in U.S. dollars. The borrowings were made
under a $15.0 million unsecured credit facility which expires in December
2008. The borrowings are short-term and bear interest at a margin
over LIBOR.

The
estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for defined benefit pension
plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into
net periodic benefit cost during the 2008 fiscal year is $0.5 million and $0.2
million, respectively.
In the
second quarter of 2008 and 2007, the Company contributed $0.3 million and $0.1
million, respectively, to defined benefit pension
plans. Contributions to defined benefit plans for the six months
ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $0.6 million and $0.2 million,
respectively. The Company expects to contribute an additional $0.5
million, for total contributions of $1.1 million in 2008. The Company
contributed a total of $3.3 million in 2007. 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 Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2008.
10. SHAREHOLDERS’
INVESTMENT
The
Company recognized approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million in share-based
compensation expense for the three month period ending June 28, 2008 and June
30, 2007, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for the six
months ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $2.0 million and $1.9 million,
respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized relating to
share-based compensation for the six months ended June 28, 2008 and June 30,
2007 was approximately $1.3 million and $6.6 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 recipient. As of June 28, 2008, total
unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was
approximately $13.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which the Company
expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 2.9
years.
The
Company was authorized as of June 28, 2008 to deliver up to 5.0 million shares
of common stock upon exercise of non-qualified stock options or incentive stock
options, or upon grant or in payment of stock appreciation rights, and
restricted stock. Approximately 2.4 million shares were available for
future grant or payment under the various plans at June 28, 2008.
During
the six months ended June 28, 2008, the Company repurchased 110,000 shares at a
total cost of $4.2 million. There were no shares repurchased in the
comparable period of 2007.
Share-based Incentive
Awards
The
Company uses several forms of share-based incentive awards, including
non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and stock appreciation
rights (SAR’s). All grants are made at prices equal to the fair
market value of the stock on the grant dates, and expire ten years from the
grant date.
The
majority of the Company’s annual option and SAR incentive awards are made in the
fiscal second quarter. The per share weighted average fair value of share-based
incentive awards granted in the May, 2008 annual grant was
$14.68. The fair value of the awards is estimated on the date of the
grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions:
risk-free interest rate of 3.7%, expected dividend yield of 1.4%, expected
volatility of 32.0% and an estimated life of 7 years.
A summary
of share-based awards (options and SAR’s) as of June 28, 2008 follows
below. Forfeitures of share-based awards were
immaterial.

The
Company also granted a total of 31,050 restricted stock awards to certain
employees during the six months ended June 28, 2008. The Company
values restricted stock awards at the closing market value of its common stock
on the date of grant and restrictions generally lapse three years after the date
of grant.
11. INCOME
TAXES
The
Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) as of the beginning of fiscal
2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes by defining criteria that a tax position on an individual matter basis
must meet before that position is recognized in the financial
statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement,
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, interim period
accounting, disclosures and transition. As a result of adopting FIN
48, the Company determined that approximately $0.6 million (including
approximately $0.4 million in estimated interest payments) of tax benefits
previously recognized were considered uncertain tax positions; as such these
deductions may not be sustained upon examination by taxing
authorities. This adjustment was reflected as a reduction of retained
earnings.
As of
June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007, the Company had approximately $6.8 million
of unrecognized tax benefits, $3.2 million 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.
The
Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Federal
tax returns from 2004 through 2006 and various state tax returns from 2002
through 2006 remain subject to income tax examinations by tax
authorities. The Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefits
will not change significantly within the next year.

The “Effect of dilutive
securities” represents the dilution impact of equity awards and the convertible
senior subordinated debt (see Note 8). The dilutive effect of the
convertible senior subordinated debt was approximately 1.8 million shares and
1.6 million shares for the three and six months ended June 28, 2008,
respectively, and 2.0 million shares for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007.
Options for common shares
where the exercise price was above the market price at June 28, 2008, totaling
approximately 368,000 shares, have been excluded from the calculation of the
effect of dilutive securities as the effect of such options is
anti-dilutive. There were approximately 133,000 anti-dilutive
option shares outstanding at June 30, 2007.
On April
26, 2007, the Company received notice that the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (“U.S. EPA”) has filed an action against the Company in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois seeking reimbursement of
the U.S. EPA’s unreimbursed past and future remediation costs incurred in
cleaning up an environmental site located near a former manufacturing facility
of the Company in Illinois. In 1999, the Company and other parties
identified as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) reached an agreement with
the U.S. EPA to partially fund the costs of certain response actions taken with
respect to this site. In 2004, the Company received communications
from the U.S. EPA indicating that the Company was identified as one of three
PRPs regarding additional remedial actions to be taken by the U.S. EPA at this
site. In response, the Company provided to the U.S. EPA its
environmental expert’s assessment of the site in 2004. The Company
believes that it is not a PRP with respect to the site in question and intends
to defend vigorously the associated claim. As of June 28, 2008
amounts that have been recorded in the Company’s financial statements related to
this contingency are not material.
The
Company is, from time to time, party to other lawsuits arising from its normal
business operations. It is believed that the outcome of these
lawsuits will have no material effect on the Company’s financial position or its
results of operations.
14. DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS
The
Company periodically enters into commodity futures and options hedging
transactions to reduce the impact of changing prices for certain commodities
such as copper and aluminum based upon certain firm commitments to purchase such
commodities. 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 of $13.3 million are recorded in other current assets at June 28,
2008. Derivative commodity liabilities of $6.1 million are recorded
in other current liabilities at December 29, 2007. The unrealized
gain (loss) on the effective portion of the contracts of $8.3 million net of tax
and ($3.8) million net of tax, as of June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007,
respectively, was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
(“AOCI”).
The
Company uses a cash flow hedging strategy to protect against an increase in the
cost of forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions. As of June 28,
2008, derivative currency assets of $3.0 million and $2.8 million are recorded
in other current assets and other non-current assets,
respectively. As of December 29, 2007, derivative currency assets of
$3.4 million and $0.1 million are recorded in other current assets and other
non-current liabilities, respectively. The value of the effective
portion of the contracts of $3.7 million net of tax and $2.1 million net of tax,
as of June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007, was recorded in AOCI.
The
Company has LIBOR-based floating rate borrowings, which expose the Company to
variability in interest payments due to changes in interest
rates. The Company has 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. As
of June 28, 2008, an interest rate swap liability of $15.3 million was included
in other non-current liabilities. The unrealized loss on the
effective portion of the contracts of ($9.5) million net of tax as of June 28,
2008 was recorded in AOCI. As of December 29, 2007, an interest rate
swap liability of $14.4 million was included in other non-current
liabilities. The unrealized loss on the effective portion of the
contracts of ($8.9) million net of tax as of December 29, 2007 was recorded in
AOCI.
The net
AOCI balance of $2.5 million gain at June 28, 2008 is comprised of $10.2 million
of net current deferred gains expected to be realized in the next year, and $7.7
million of net non-current deferred losses. The impact of hedge
ineffectiveness was immaterial for all periods presented.
15. FAIR
VALUE
The
implementation of SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” for
financial assets and financial liabilities, on December 30, 2007, the first day
of the 2008 fiscal year, did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position and results of operations. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities on its consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
SFAS No.
157, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date (exit price). SFAS No. 157
classifies the inputs and used to measure fair value into the following
hierarchy:
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. The Company has determined that our financial
assets and liabilities are level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The
following table sets for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that
were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2008 (in

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
Net sales
increased 31.9% to $606.3 million from $459.8 million in the comparable period
of 2007. Sales for the three months ended June 28, 2008 included
$108.5 million of sales related to the four 2007 acquired businesses described
in Note 3 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements. An additional $23.3 million of the 2008 sales are
attributable to the Hwada acquisition completed on April 25, 2008.
Net
income increased 5.0% to $38.1 million for the three months ended June 28, 2008
as compared to $36.3 million in the comparable period last
year. Diluted earnings per share increased 7.5% to $1.14 for the
three months ended June 28, 2008 as compared to $1.06 for the comparable period
of 2007.
RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 28,
2008 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Sales for
the three months ended June 28, 2008 were $606.3 million, a 31.9% increase over
the $459.8 million reported for the three months ended for June 30,
2007. Second quarter 2008 sales included $108.5 million of sales
related to the four 2007 acquired businesses described in Note 3 of Notes to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. An additional $23.3
million of the second quarter 2008 sales are attributable to the Hwada
acquisition completed on April 25, 2008.
In the
Electrical segment, sales increased 36.3%, including the impact of the
acquisitions noted above. Exclusive of the acquired
businesses, global generator sales increased 40.2% and commercial and industrial
motors sales in North America increased 4.6%, offsetting a 3.6%
decline in residential HVAC motor sales. Sales in the Mechanical
segment increased 0.6% from the prior year period. From a geographic
perspective, Asia-based sales increased 59.3% as compared to the comparable
period of 2007. In total, sales to regions outside of the United
States were 27.0% of total sales for the three months ended June 28, 2008 in
comparison to 22.8% for the comparable period of 2007.
The gross profit margin for the three
months ended June 28, 2008 was 21.6% as compared to the 22.6% reported for the
comparable period of 2007. Lower gross profit margins of 17.7% from
the acquired businesses, and material costs had a significant impact on the
three months ended June 28, 2008, partially offset by the contribution from new
products, productivity efforts, pricing actions, and product mix. The
raw material costs increases resulted primarily from increases in the cost of
copper and steel.
Operating
expenses were $63.7 million (10.5% of sales) in the three months ended June 28,
2008 versus $43.8 million (9.5% of sales) in 2007. Income from
operations was $67.5 million versus $60.1 million in the comparable period of
2007. As a percent of sales, income from operations was 11.1% for the
three months ended June 28, 2008 versus 13.1% in the comparable period of
2007. This decrease reflected lower operating profit margins from the
acquired businesses, and increased raw material costs partially offset by
contributions from new products, pricing actions,
and productivity.
Net
interest expense was $6.6 million versus $4.2 million in the comparable period
of 2007. The increase reflected higher levels of average debt
outstanding driven by the acquisitions completed in the second half of
2007.
The tax
rate for the three months ended June 28, 2008 was 35.4% versus 34.0% in the
prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate
results from the global distribution of income, increases in certain statutory
tax rates in Mexico and China, and the impact of the expiration of the United
States Research and Engineering tax credit which has not been extended to
2008.
Net
income for the three months ended June 28, 2008 was $38.1 million, an increase
of 5.0% versus the $36.3 million reported in comparable period of
2007. Fully diluted earnings per share was $1.14 as compared to $1.06
per share reported in the second quarter of 2007. The average number
of diluted shares was 33,525,725 during the three months ended June 28, 2008 as
compared to 34,177,529 during the comparable period last year.
Six Months Ended June 28,
2008 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
Sales for
the six months ended June 28, 2008 were $1,142.7 million, which is a 30.1%
increase over the $878.4 million reported for the comparable period of
2007. Sales for the six months ended June 28, 2008 included $220.4
million of sales related to the four 2007 acquired businesses described in Note
3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. An additional
$23.3 million of sales in the six months ended June 28, 2008 relate to the Hwada
business acquired on April 25, 2008.
In the
Electrical segment, sales increased 34.3%, including the impact of the
acquisitions noted above. Exclusive of the acquired
businesses, global generator sales increased 28.9% and commercial and industrial
motors sales in North America increased 3.1%, offsetting a 3.4% decline in
residential HVAC motor sales. Sales in the Mechanical segment
increased 0.8% from the prior year period. From a geographic
perspective, Asia-based sales increased 80.5% as compared to the comparable
period of 2007. In total, sales to regions outside of the United
States were 26.4% of total sales in comparison to 21.1% for the comparable
period of 2007.
Gross
margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 22.2% which is 0.7 percentage
points lower than the comparable period of 2007. Lower operating
margins from the acquired businesses, and material costs had a significant
impact on the first six months of 2008, partially offset by the contribution
from new products, productivity efforts, pricing actions and positive product
mix across our entire business. The raw material cost increases
resulted primarily from increases in the costs of copper and steel.
Operating
expenses for the six months ended June 28, 2008 were $128.2 million (11.2% of
sales) versus $93.7 million (10.7% of sales) in the comparable period of
2007. Income from operations was $125.1 million versus $107.4 million
in the comparable period of 2007, an increase of 16.5%. As a percent
of sales, income from operations was 10.9% versus 12.2% in the comparable period
of 2007.
Net
interest expense was $13.4 million versus $9.2 million in the comparable period
of 2007. This increase was driven by the higher levels of debt
outstanding, driven by the acquisitions completed during the second half of
2007.
The tax
rate for the six months ended June 28, 2008 was 35.4% versus 34.3% in the prior
year comparable period. The increase in the effective rate results primarily
from the global distribution of income, increases in certain statutory tax rates
in Mexico and China, and the impact of the expiration of the United States
Research and Engineering tax credit which has not been extended to
2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
Our
working capital was $471.6 million at June 28, 2008, a 13.3% increase from
$416.6 million at year-end 2007. The $55.0 million increase was
primarily driven by a $96.7 million increase in net receivables partially offset
by a $59.1 million increase in accounts payable and $9.7 million decrease in
inventory. The ratio of our current assets to our current liabilities
(“current ratio”) was 2.2:1 at June 28, 2008 and 2.3:1 at December 29,
2007.
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $116.3 million for the six months ended
June 28, 2008 as compared to $100.1 million in the comparable period of
2007. The
improvement is a result of the increase in net income and increases depreciation
and amortization. Net cash used in investing activities was $42.8 million
in the first six months of 2008 as compared to the $20.3 million used in the
comparable period of the prior year. Additions to property, plant and equipment
were $28.1 million in the first six months of 2008, which was $10.3 million more
than the comparable period of 2007. The
change in capital spending results from increased investments in productivity
and new product development projects. Our cash used in financing
activities was $29.0 million for the first six months of 2008 versus $64.4
million used in the comparable period of 2007. During the six months
ended June 28, 2008, the Company repurchased 110,000 shares at a total cost of
$4.2 million. There were no shares repurchased in the equivalent
period of 2007.
Our
outstanding long-term debt decreased from $558.9 million at December 29, 2007 to
$541.1 million at June 28, 2008. There were no borrowings outstanding under our
$500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on April 30,
2012 (the “Facility”). The Facility permits the Company to borrow at
interest rates based upon a margin above the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(“LIBOR”), which margin varies with the ratio of total funded debt to earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“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 our total debt to our EBITDA.
On June
16, 2008, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan”) with
certain financial institutions, whereby the Company borrowed an aggregate
principal amount of $165.0 million. The Term Loan matures in June 2013, and
borrowings under the Term Loan generally bear interest at a variable rate equal
to (i) a margin over the LIBOR, which margin varies depending on whether certain
criteria are satisfied, or (ii) the alternate base rate as defined in the
agreement. At June 28, 2008, the interest rate was based on a margin
over LIBOR.
At June
28, 2008, there was $250.0 million of senior notes (the “Notes”) outstanding.
The Notes were issued and sold in two series: $150.0 million in
Floating Rate Series 2007A Senior Notes, Tranche A, due August 23, 2014, and
$100.0 million in Floating Rate Series 2007A Senior Notes, Tranche B, due August
23, 2017. The Notes bear interest at a margin over LIBOR, which
margin varies with the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt to consolidated
EBITDA as defined in the Agreement. These interest rates also vary as
LIBOR varies. The note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) permits
the Company to issue and sell additional note series, subject to certain terms
and conditions described in the Agreement, up to a total of $600.0 million in
combined Notes.
The
Notes, the Term Loan and the Facility require us to meet specified financial
ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. We were in
compliance with all debt covenants as of June 28, 2008.
In
addition to the Facility, the Term Loan and the Notes, at June 28, 2008, we also
had $115.0 million of convertible senior subordinated debt outstanding at a
fixed interest rate of 2.75%, and $38.2 million of other
debt.
As part
of the 2008 acquisition of Hwada (see Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements), the Company assumed $21.6 of short term notes payable to
banks. At June 28, 2008, the balance of these notes payable was
approximately $21.8 million. The weighted average interest rate was
7.3% at June 28, 2008.
As of
June 28, 2008, a foreign subsidiary of the Company had outstanding borrowings of
$5.0 million denominated in U.S. dollars. The borrowings were made
under a $15.0 million unsecured credit facility which expires in December
2008. The borrowings are short-term and bear interest at a margin
over LIBOR.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
We
recognized revenue when all of the following have occurred: an
agreement of sale exists; pricing is determinable; collection is reasonably
assured; and product has been delivered and acceptance has occurred according to
contract terms.
We use
contracts and customer purchase orders to determine the existence of an
agreement of sale. We use shipping documents and customer acceptance,
when applicable, to verify delivery. We assess whether the sale price
is subject to refund or adjustment, and we assess collectibility based on the
creditworthiness of the customer as well as the customer’s payment
history.
Returns,
Rebates and Incentives
Our
primary incentive program provides distributors with cash rebates or account
credits based on agreed amounts that vary depending on the end user or original
equipment manufacturing (OEM) customer to whom our distributor ultimately sells
the product. We also offer various other incentive programs that
provide distributors and direct sale customers with cash rebates, account
credits or additional products and services based on meeting specified program
criteria. Certain distributors are offered a right to return product,
subject to contractual limitations.
We record
accruals for customer returns, rebates and incentives at the time of revenue
recognition based primarily on historical experience. Adjustments to
the accrual may be required if actual returns, rebates and incentives differ
from historical experience or if there are changes to other assumptions used to
estimate the accrual.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets or Goodwill and Other Intangibles
We
evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be fully recoverable through future cash flows. We evaluate
the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate
that an asset might be impaired. We use judgment when applying the
impairment rules to determine when an impairment is
necessary. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include
significant underperformance relative to historical or forecasted operating
results, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant
negative industry or economic trends. We perform our annual
impairment test in accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.”
Approximately
half of our domestic employees are covered by defined benefit pension plans with
the remaining employees covered by defined contribution plans. Most
of our foreign employees are covered by government sponsored plans in the
countries in which they are employed. Our obligations under our
domestic defined benefit plans are determined with the assistance of actuarial
firms. The actuaries provide us with information and recommendations
regarding such factors as withdrawal rates and mortality rates. The
actuaries also provide us with information and recommendations from which
management makes further assumptions on such factors as the long-term expected
rate of return on plan assets, the discount rate on benefit obligations, and
where applicable, the rate of annual compensation increases. Based
upon the assumptions made, the investments made by the plans, overall conditions
and movement in financial markets, particularly the stock market and how actual
withdrawal rates, life-spans of benefit recipients, and other factors differ
from assumptions, annual expenses and recorded assets or liabilities of these
defined benefit plans may change significantly from year
to year. Based on our annual review of actuarial
assumptions as well as historical rates of return on plan assets and existing
long-term bond rates, we set the long-term rate of return on plan assets at
8.25% and an average discount rate at approximately 6.5% for our defined benefit
plans as of December 29, 2007.
We
operate in numerous taxing jurisdictions and are subject to regular examinations
by various U.S. Federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions for various tax
periods. Our income tax positions are based on research and
interpretations of the income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions
in which we do business. Due to the subjectivity of interpretations
of laws and rulings in each jurisdiction, the differences and interplay in tax
laws between those jurisdictions as well as the inherent uncertainty in
estimating the final resolution of complex tax audit matters, our estimates of
income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or
assessments.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the
use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical
experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff
Position APB 14-1, “Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments that May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“APB 14-1”), which requires that
convertible debt securities, that upon conversion may be settled by the issuer
fully or partially in cash, be split into a debt and equity
component. APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years (and interim
periods) beginning after December 15, 2008 and must be applied retroactively to
all past periods presented. The Company will adopt APB 14-1 upon its
effective date, which will have a material impact on the reported values of
debt, equity and earnings per share.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 intends to improve
the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets” and the period of expected cash flows used to measure
the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations”,
which is applicable to us beginning in 2010. We are evaluating
FSP 142-3 to determine the effect on our financial statements and related
disclosures.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS 161”), which requires expanded disclosures about
derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with
earlier adoption permitted. We are evaluating the new standard to
determine its effect on our financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS
141R”), effective prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R establishes
principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its
financial statements identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed,
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, goodwill or gain from a bargain
purchase and accounting for transaction costs. Additionally, SFAS
141R determines what information must be disclosed to enable users of the
financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. The Company will adopt SFAS 141R upon its
effective date as appropriate for any future business combinations.
In
December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests,
which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified
as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will
significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest
holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, of
SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain other items generally on an
instrument-by-instrument basis at fair value that are not currently required to
be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is intended to provide entities
with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by
measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply
complex hedge accounting provisions. The implementation of this
standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. In February, 2008 the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, which
delays the effective date of Statement 157 for all nonrecurring fair value
measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is eligible for
the delay as it has not previously adopted SFAS 157. The Company has
chosen to partially adopt SFAS 157 (see Note 15 to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements).
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
We are
exposed to market risk relating to the Company’s 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.
The Company is exposed to
interest rate risk on certain of its short-term and long-term debt obligations
used to finance our operations and acquisitions. At June 28, 2008,
net of interest rate swaps, we had $395.4 million of fixed rate debt and $172.8
million of variable rate debt, the latter subject to interest rate
risk. As a result, interest rate changes impact future earnings and
cash flows assuming other factors are constant. The Company utilizes
interest rate swaps to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from exposure
to interest rate risk on forecasted variable rate interest
payments.
Details regarding the
instruments, as of June 28, 2008, are as follows:

A hypothetical 10% change in
our weighted average borrowing rate on outstanding variable rate debt at June
28, 2008, would result in a change in after-tax annualized earnings of
approximately $0.4 million.
The
Company periodically enters into commodity futures and options hedging
transactions to reduce the impact of changing prices for certain commodities,
such as copper and aluminum. Contract terms of commodity hedge
instruments generally mirror those of the hedged item, providing a high degree
of risk reduction and correlation.
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 contracts to manage
our exposure on the transactions denominated in currencies other than the
applicable functional currency. Contracts are executed with
creditworthy banks and are denominated in currencies of major industrial
countries. It is our policy not to enter into derivative financial
instruments for speculative purposes. We do not hedge our exposure to
the translation of reported results of foreign subsidiaries from local currency
to United States dollars.
All
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. An
ineffective portion of the hedge’s change in fair value, if any, is recorded in
earnings in the period of change. The impact due to ineffectiveness
was immaterial for all periods included in this report.
The
Company periodically enters into commodity futures and options hedging
transactions to reduce the impact of changing prices for certain commodities
such as copper and aluminum based upon certain firm commitments to purchase such
commodities. 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 of $13.3 million are
recorded in other current assets at June 28, 2008. Derivative
commodity liabilities of $6.1 million are recorded in other current liabilities
at December 29, 2007. The unrealized gain (loss) on the effective
portion of the contracts of $8.3 million net of tax and ($3.8) million net of
tax, as of June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007, was recorded in
AOCI.
The
Company uses a cash hedging strategy to protect against an increase in the cost
of forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions. As of June 28, 2008,
derivative currency assets of $3.0 million and $2.8 million are recorded in
other current assets and other non-current assets, respectively. As
of December 29, 2007, derivative currency assets of $3.4 million and $0.1
million (notional value of $213.3 million) are recorded in other current assets
and other non-current liabilities, respectively. The value of the
effective portion of the contracts of $3.7 million net of tax and $2.1 million
net of tax, as of June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007, was recorded in
AOCI.
The
Company has LIBOR-based floating rate borrowings, which expose the Company to
variability in interest payments due to changes in interest
rates. The Company has 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. As
of June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007, an interest rate swap liability of $15.3
million and $14.4 million was included in other non-current liabilities,
respectively. The unrealized loss on the effective portion of the
contracts of ($9.5) million net of tax as of June 28, 2008 was recorded in
AOCI.
The net
AOCI balance of $2.5 million gain at June 28, 2008 is comprised of $10.2 million
of net current deferred gains expected to be realized in the next year, and $7.7
million of net non-current deferred losses. The impact of hedge
ineffectiveness was immaterial for all periods presented.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the
participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls
and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the
end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation,
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to ensure that (a) information required to be
disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (b)
information required to be
disclosed
by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter
to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
Items 3
and 5 are inapplicable and have been omitted.
ITEM 1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
On April
26, 2007, the Company received notice that the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (“U.S. EPA”) has filed an action against the Company in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois seeking reimbursement of
the U.S. EPA’s unreimbursed past and future remediation costs incurred in
cleaning up an environmental site located near a former manufacturing facility
of the Company in Illinois. In 1999, the Company and other parties
identified as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) reached an agreement with
the U.S. EPA to partially fund the costs of certain response actions taken with
respect to this site. In 2004, the Company received communications
from the U.S. EPA indicating that the Company was identified as one of three
PRPs regarding additional remedial actions to be taken by the U.S. EPA at this
site. In response, the Company provided to the U.S. EPA its
environmental expert’s assessment of the site in 2004. The Company
believes that it is not a PRP with respect to the site in question and intends
to defend vigorously the associated claim. As of June 28, 2008
amounts that have been recorded in the Company’s financial statements related to
this contingency are not material.
The
Company is, from time to time, party to other lawsuits arising from its normal
business operations. It is believed that the outcome of these other
lawsuits will have no material effect on the Company’s financial position or its
results of operations.
The business and financial
results of the Company are subject to numerous risks and
uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties have not changed
materially from those reported in the 2007 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
