SPX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

 

(1)                                BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. The financial statements represent our accounts after the elimination of intercompany transactions and, in our opinion, include the adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation.

 

We account for investments in unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence but do not have control using the equity method. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we perform a qualitative analysis that considers the design of the VIE, the nature of our involvement and the variable interests held by other parties to determine which party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We do have interests in VIEs, primarily joint ventures, in which we are the primary beneficiary and others in which we are not. All our VIEs are considered immaterial, individually and in aggregate, to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Our only significant investment reported under the equity method is our 44.5% interest in the EGS Electrical Group, LLC and subsidiaries (“EGS”) joint venture, which we account for on a three-month lag. EGS’s revenues and our equity earnings from our investment in EGS, as included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, totaled $121.8 and $6.7 and $110.5 and $6.2 for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, EGS’s revenues and our equity earnings from our investment in EGS, as included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, totaled $355.1 and $20.0 and $326.6 and $21.3, respectively. During the second quarter of 2010, EGS acquired Nutsteel Industria Metalurgica Ltda for $35.4. We contributed $15.8 to EGS to fund our portion of the acquisition price.

 

Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results may not be indicative of full year results. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts, including the results of discontinued operations, to conform to the current year presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations (see Note 3 for information on discontinued operations).

 

We establish actual interim closing dates using a “fiscal” calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter for the first quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2011 are April 2, July 2 and October 1, compared to the respective April 3, July 3 and October 2, 2010 dates. This practice only affects the quarterly reporting periods and not the annual reporting period. We had one fewer day in the first quarter of 2011 and will have one more day in the fourth quarter of 2011 than in the respective 2010 periods.

 

(2)                                NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.

 

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance with the objective of amending revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance eliminates one previous revenue recognition criterion so that objective and reliable evidence of fair value for undelivered item(s), in a multiple element deliverable arrangement in which the delivered item or items are considered a separate unit or units, is no longer required. The guidance also determines a hierarchy for an entity to use when estimating the selling price of deliverables that meet the other two conditions for separation as follows: (1) vendor-specific objective evidence of the selling price, (2) third-party evidence of the selling price, or (3) an estimate of the selling price. In addition, the term “selling price” replaces all references to fair value in the guidance. The guidance also has eliminated the residual allocation method and requires an entity to apply the relative selling price allocation method in all circumstances where there is an absence of objective and reliable evidence for the delivered item(s) in an arrangement. Lastly, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures about the judgments and assumptions used in evaluating arrangements. Entities may elect to apply this guidance (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods presented. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2011 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance related to revenue recognition for certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The amendment was to the scope of prior guidance, such that all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality will no longer be within the scope of the Software Revenue Recognition Topic of the Accounting Standard Codification (“Codification”). That is, the entire product (including the software deliverables and non-software deliverables) would be outside the scope of revenue recognition guidance specific to software and would be accounted for under other accounting literature. Lastly, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures about the judgments and assumptions used in evaluating arrangements. Entities may elect to apply this guidance (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods presented. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2011 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance to modify the goodwill impairment test by eliminating an entity’s ability to assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative, despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate that the goodwill is more likely than not impaired. For such reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between interim or annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2011 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance to clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements for business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis, the entity should disclose revenues and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Additionally, the guidance expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring, adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The guidance is effective prospectively for 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, 2010. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2011 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements; however, the guidance will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements for material acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2011.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance to revise the presentation of comprehensive income by requiring entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The single continuous statement of comprehensive income must include the components of net income, a total for net income, the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”), a total for OCI, and a total for comprehensive income. The separate but consecutive statements must report components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income, which must be immediately followed by a statement of OCI that must include the components of OCI, a total for OCI, and a total for comprehensive income. Each method requires entities to display adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in both net income and OCI. The guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet adopted this guidance and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance related to testing goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test under Topic 350 of the Codification. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011. We have not yet adopted this guidance and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(3)                                ACQUISITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Acquisitions

 

In March 2011, our Flow Technology segment completed the acquisition of B.W. Murdoch Ltd. (“Murdoch”), an engineering company supplying processing solutions for the food and beverage industry, for a purchase price of $8.1, after payment of a working capital settlement of $0.7 during the third quarter of 2011. Murdoch had revenues of approximately $13.0 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

 

In March 2011, our Test and Measurement segment completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Teradyne Inc.’s Diagnostic Solutions business (“DS”), a global supplier of diagnostic solutions for transportation OEMs and automotive dealerships, for a purchase price of $40.2. DS had revenues of approximately $42.0 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

 

In July 2010, our Flow Technology segment completed the acquisition of the Anhydro business (“Anhydro”), a global supplier of liquid concentration equipment, powder processing solutions, and dewatering plants and equipment, for a purchase price of $59.1, net of cash acquired of $10.9. Anhydro had revenues of approximately $71.0 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

 

In April 2010, our Industrial Products and Services segment completed the acquisition of Torque Tension Systems Ltd. (“TTS”), a global supplier of hydraulic torque wrench and tensioner tool products, for a purchase price of $15.7, net of cash acquired of $2.4. TTS had revenues of approximately $9.0 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

 

In February 2010, our Flow Technology segment completed the acquisition of Gerstenberg Schröder A/S (“Gerstenberg”), a designer, manufacturer, installer and servicer of processing systems and components serving the global food industry, for a purchase price of $30.9, net of cash acquired of $3.5 and including debt assumed of $3.9. Gerstenberg had revenues of approximately $57.0 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

 

The pro forma effects of the completed acquisitions were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our results of operations.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at preliminary estimates of fair value as determined by management, based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations, and are subject to change during the measurement period upon the completion of acquisition accounting, including the finalization of asset valuations and any working capital settlements.

 

On August 24, 2011, we entered into an agreement to purchase Clyde Union (Holdings) S.A.R.L (“Clyde Union”), a global supplier of pump technologies that are utilized in oil and gas processing, power generation and other industrial applications.  On November 1, 2011, we executed an amendment to that agreement. Under the amended agreement, the purchase price (payable in cash) is equal to the sum of (i) an initial payment of 565.0 British Pounds (“GBP”) plus (ii) an earn-out payment equal to 11.8 times the amount by which the March 31, 2012 Group Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for the trailing twelve months (Group EBITDA terms are as defined in the related share purchase agreement) is greater than 47.881 GBP, if any, and (iii) a separate earn-out payment equal to:

 

Annual 2012 Group EBITDA less Earn-Out Threshold

 

 

10.0 GBP

x

(185.0 GBP less any payment made under (ii) above).

 

The Earn-Out Threshold is 65.0 GBP unless March 31, 2012 Group EBITDA for the trailing twelve months is less than 47.881 GBP, in which case it is 112.881 GBP less the amount of the trailing twelve month March 31, 2012 Group EBITDA.

 

In no event shall either earn-out payment be less than zero nor shall the aggregate earn-out payments exceed 185.0 GBP.

 

Consummation of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, with the closing targeted to occur by December 22, 2011.

 

Clyde Union has approximately 2,000 employees, is based in Glasgow, United Kingdom, and operates eight manufacturing facilities and 25 service centers around the world. We expect that the acquisition of Clyde Union will expand our market position within, and create a global power and energy platform for, our Flow Technology segment.

 

We plan to finance the acquisition with available cash and committed senior secured financing. See Note 10 for further

details on the senior secured financing.

 

On October 31, 2011, our Flow Technology segment completed the acquisition of e&e Verfahrenstechnik GmbH, a supplier of extraction, evaporation, vacuum and freeze drying technologies to the global food and beverage, pharmaceutical and bioenergy industries for a purchase price of approximately 12.3 Euros, net of cash assumed of 2.2 Euros, with an additional potential earn-out of 3.5 Euros.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

As part of our operating strategy, we regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures, some of which are or may be material. As a result of this continual review, we determined that certain of our businesses would be better strategic fits with other companies or investors.

We report businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when, among other things, we commit to a plan to divest the business or asset group, actively begin marketing the business or asset group, and when the sale of the business or asset group is deemed probable within the next twelve months. The following businesses, which have been sold, met these requirements, and therefore have been reported as discontinued operations for the periods presented:

Cooling Spain — Sold for cash consideration of one Euro (exclusive of cash transferred with the business of $2.3), resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $1.9 during the fourth quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, we recorded a net charge of $0.1 to “Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax” within our condensed consolidated statements of operations in connection with adjustments to certain liabilities that we retained.

 

PSD — Sold for cash consideration of $3.0, resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $3.6 during the first quarter of 2010.

 

In addition to the businesses discussed above, we recognized a net gain of $0.4 and $1.3 during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively, a net loss of $0.1 and a net gain of $1.2 during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on sales from previously discontinued businesses. Refer to the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the disclosure of all discontinued businesses during the 2008 through 2010 period.

 

During the second quarter of 2010, the field examinations of our 2006 and 2007 federal income tax returns were completed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In connection with the completion of these examinations, we reduced our liability for uncertain tax positions and recognized an income tax benefit of $7.3 to “Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax” associated with a business previously disposed of and reported as a discontinued operation.

 

The final sales price for certain of the divested businesses is subject to adjustment based on working capital existing at the respective closing dates. The working capital figures are subject to agreement with the buyers, or if we cannot come to agreement, an arbitration process. Final agreement of the working capital figures for certain of these transactions has yet to occur. In addition, changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur. It is possible that the sales price and resulting gains/losses on these, and other previous divestitures, will be materially adjusted in subsequent periods.

 

For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, income (loss) from discontinued operations and the related income taxes are shown below:

(1)           Balance at October 1, 2011 reflects impairment charges recorded during the second quarter of 2011 associated with businesses within our Thermal Equipment and Services and Industrial Products and Services segments of $7.5 and $0.8, respectively.

 

Estimated annual amortization expense related to these intangible assets is $32.6 in 2011, $28.5 in 2012, $26.5 in 2013, $25.8 in 2014 and $23.9 in 2015.

 

At October 1, 2011, the net carrying value of intangible assets with determinable lives consisted of $161.4 in the Flow Technology segment, $75.9 in the Test and Measurement segment, $59.5 in the Thermal Equipment and Services segment, and $11.3 in the Industrial Products and Services segment. Trademarks with indefinite lives consisted of $208.3 in the Flow Technology segment, $54.3 in the Test and Measurement segment, $130.7 in the Thermal Equipment and Services segment, and $14.2 in the Industrial Products and Services segment.

 

We annually test the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter based on a measurement date as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test such assets for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. Based on our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2010, our SPX Heat Transfer Inc. reporting unit had an estimated fair value that was comparable to the carrying value of its net assets. In the second quarter of 2011, SPX Heat Transfer Inc. experienced an additional decline in its revenues and profitability, furthering a trend that began late in the first quarter of 2011, in comparison to (i) recent historical results and (ii) expected results for the period, due to the challenging conditions within the U.S. power market. Although we expect financial results for the reporting unit to rebound, the projections of future discounted cash flows as of the end of the second quarter of 2011 indicated that the reporting unit’s fair value was less than the carrying value of its net assets. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $24.7 during the second quarter of 2011 associated with SPX Heat Transfer Inc.’s goodwill ($17.2) and indefinite-lived intangible assets ($7.5). After the $24.7 impairment charge, SPX Heat Transfer Inc. had goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $3.6 and $22.6, respectively.

During the first nine months of 2011, we made contributions of approximately $10.6 to our foreign and qualified domestic pension plans, of which $1.4 related to businesses classified as discontinued operations.

 

An increase in the number of inactive participants in one of our domestic pension plans resulted in almost all of the plan participants being inactive. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2011, we began amortizing the unrecognized gains/losses over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants as opposed to the average remaining service period of the active participants. This change resulted in a reduction to pension expense of approximately $5.0 and $15.0 during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively.

(1)           In August 2010, we issued $600.0 of 6.875% senior notes that mature in 2017. The proceeds from the issuance were used to repay the remaining balance ($562.5) under the term loan of our then-existing senior credit facilities. In connection with the early repayment of the term loan, we also terminated the related interest rate protection agreements. Cost associated with the early repayment of the term loan and the termination of the interest rate protection agreements totaled $25.6, including $1.1 for the write-off of deferred financing costs, $0.2 for fees related to the early repayment of the term loan, and $24.3 to settle the interest rate protection agreements.

(2)           These notes were redeemed in full in January 2011.

(3)           These notes were redeemed in full in June 2011.

(4)           Under this arrangement, we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $130.0, as available.

(5)           Includes balances under a purchase card program of $38.8 and $36.1 at October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

(6)           “Other” includes debt assumed and foreign currency translation on any debt instruments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

 

New Senior Credit Facilities

 

On June 30, 2011, we entered into new senior credit facilities with a syndicate of lenders that replaced our then-existing senior credit facilities. The new senior credit facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $1,800.0, consisting of the following (each with a final maturity of June 30, 2016):

 

·         A domestic revolving credit facility, available for loans and letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount up to $300.0;

 

·         A global revolving credit facility, available for loans in U.S. Dollars, Euros, British Pounds and other currencies in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $300.0;

 

·         A participation foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $1,100.0; and

 

·         A bilateral foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $100.0.

 

In addition, the lenders in the syndicate under the new senior credit facilities generally are comparable to those that existed for the previous senior credit facilities.

 

The new senior credit facilities allow additional commitments to add an incremental term loan facility and/or increase the commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and/or the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility by up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000.0.

 

15



 

We are the borrower under all the facilities, and certain of our foreign subsidiaries are borrowers under the foreign credit instrument facilities (and we may in the future designate other subsidiaries to be borrowers under the revolving credit facilities and the foreign credit instrument facilities).

 

All borrowings and other extensions of credit under our new senior credit facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.

 

The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by any borrower on behalf of itself or any of its subsidiaries or certain joint ventures. The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support our foreign operations.

 

At October 1, 2011, we had $83.8 and $654.5 of outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit and our foreign trade facilities of our senior credit agreement, respectively. In addition, we had $2.9 of letters of credit outstanding under separate arrangements in China and South Africa.

 

The interest rates applicable to loans under our new senior credit facilities are, at our option, equal to either (i) an alternate base rate (the higher of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (ii) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate for dollars (Eurodollar) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date). We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for Eurodollar borrowings. The fees charged and the interest rate margins applicable to Eurodollar and alternate base rate loans are (all on a per annum basis) as follows:

The weighted-average interest rate of our outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facilities was approximately 2.3% at October 1, 2011.

 

The fees for bilateral foreign credit commitments are as specified above for foreign credit commitments, unless otherwise agreed with the bilateral foreign issuing lender. We also pay fronting fees on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit and foreign credit instruments (in the participation facility) at the rates of 0.125% per annum and 0.20% per annum, respectively.

 

Our new senior credit facilities require mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions). Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days of the receipt of such proceeds.

 

We may voluntarily prepay loans under our new senior credit facilities, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

 

16



 

Indebtedness under our new senior credit facilities is guaranteed by:

 

·         Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary, with specified exceptions; and

 

·         SPX Corporation with respect to the obligations of our foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral participation foreign credit instrument facility.

 

Indebtedness under our new senior credit facilities is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by us or our domestic subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of our material first tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions). If our corporate credit rating is “Ba2” or less (or not rated) by Moody’s and “BB” or less (or not rated) by S&P, then we and our domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all of our and their assets. If our corporate credit rating is “Baa3” or better by Moody’s or “BBB-” or better by S&P and no defaults exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under our senior credit facilities will be unsecured.

 

Our new senior credit facilities require that we maintain:

 

·         A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and

 

·         A Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters after certain permitted acquisitions by us).

 

Our new senior credit facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We do not expect these covenants to restrict our liquidity, financial condition or access to capital resources in the foreseeable future. Our new senior credit facilities also contain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default.

 

We are permitted under our senior credit facilities to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) less than 2.50 to 1.00. If our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $100.0 in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after June 30, 2011 equal to the sum of (i) $300.0 and (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the credit agreement generally as consolidated net income subject to certain adjustments solely for the purposes of determining this basket) during the period from July 1, 2011 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit).

 

During the third quarter of 2011, we were in compliance with all covenant provisions of our new senior credit facilities and our senior notes.

 

Modifications to Senior Credit Facilities

 

On October 5, 2011, we modified our existing senior credit facilities in order to provide additional committed senior secured financing in an aggregate amount of $800.0, consisting of the following term loans (collectively, the “Term Loans”):

 

·                 A delayed draw incremental term loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0, repayable in full on the date that is 18 months after the date of its funding; and

 

·                 A delayed draw incremental term loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0, repayable in quarterly installments (with annual repayments, as a percentage of the initial principal amount, of 0% for 2011 and 2012, 5% for 2013, 15% for 2014 and 20% for 2015, together with a single quarterly payment of 5% at the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2016), with the remaining balance repayable in full on June 30, 2016.

 

17



 

We intend to use the proceeds of the Term Loans to finance the Clyde Union acquisition and also may repay debt outstanding

at the time of funding.

 

We may borrow against the Term Loans in a single drawing on or before December 31, 2011.  If we do not consummate the Clyde Union acquisition substantially contemporaneously with such borrowing, we are required to maintain the proceeds of the Term Loans in a cash collateral account with the administrative agent until used for the Clyde Union acquisition.  The ability to draw on the Term Loans is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. We are required to repay the Term Loans in full if we do not consummate the Clyde Union acquisition.

 

The interest rates applicable to the Term Loans are calculated in a manner consistent with our existing senior credit facilities. The interest rate margins applicable to LIBOR and alternate base rate Term Loans are (all on a per annum basis) as follows:

We will pay an upfront fee in an amount equal to an approximate average of 0.5% of the commitment of each lender providing a portion of the Term Loans. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.275% per annum of the daily unused amount of the commitment of the Term Loans, which will accrue from October 5, 2011 through the date on which Term Loan amounts are borrowed (or the commitment is terminated).

 

Except as noted below, the Term Loans require mandatory prepayments in circumstances consistent with the existing credit facilities. Mandatory prepayments will be applied, first, to repay any amounts outstanding under the Term Loans and any other incremental term loans that we may have outstanding in the future, in the manner and order selected by us, and after the Term Loans and any such incremental term loans have been repaid in full, and second, to repay amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). As with the existing credit facilities, no prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days of the receipt of such proceeds.  In addition, upon the incurrence of unsecured indebtedness in the form of a private or public note or bond issuance, the net proceeds of such indebtedness will be applied to the extent necessary to repay in full any amounts outstanding under the $300.0 term loan.

 

Consistent with the existing senior credit facilities, we may voluntarily prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any prepayment of the Term Loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

 

The Term Loans are guaranteed, secured, and subject to representations, warranties, covenants and events of default in a manner consistent with the existing senior credit facilities.

 

The existing credit facilities include a foreign trade facility and bilateral foreign trade facilities, each available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $1,100.0 and $100.0, respectively. As part of our modification of the existing senior credit facilities, we obtained a $100.0 commitment for an additional bilateral foreign trade facility, thereby increasing the total bilateral trade facilities to an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $200.0.  Effective upon this increase in the bilateral foreign trade facilities, we reduced our foreign credit commitments on a pro rata basis under the foreign trade facility by an aggregate amount of $100.0, thereby reducing the foreign trade facilities to an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $1,000.0.

 

 

(11)                         DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Interest Rate Swaps

 

Prior to the August 2010 repayment of our variable rate term loan, we maintained interest rate protection agreements (“Swaps”) to hedge the associated interest rate risk. These Swaps, which we designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, effectively converted the majority of the borrowings under our variable rate term loan to a fixed rate of 4.795% plus the applicable margin. In connection with the repayment of our term loan, we terminated all our Swaps resulting in a cash payment of $26.9

 

18



 

(including $2.6 of accrued interest) and a charge to earnings of $24.3 during the three months ended October 2, 2010.

 

Currency Forward Contracts

 

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of any currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, Chinese Yuan, South African Rand and British Pound.

 

From time to time, we enter into currency protection agreements (“FX forward contracts”) to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. In addition, some of our contracts contain currency forward embedded derivatives (“FX embedded derivatives”), as the currency of exchange is not “clearly and closely” related to the functional currency of either party to the transaction. Certain of our FX forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as deemed appropriate. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings, but are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). These changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings as a component of revenues or cost of goods sold, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. In addition, if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative change in the derivatives’ fair value will be recorded as a component of “Other expense, net” in the period it occurs. To the extent that a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period it occurs. We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $844.5 and $199.5 outstanding as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $107.9 and $200.9 at October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The unrealized loss, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts was $3.6 and $4.1 as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying approximately $1.8 of the unrealized loss to income over the next 12 months.

 

Beginning on August 30, 2011, we entered into FX forward contracts to hedge a significant portion of the purchase price of the Clyde Union acquisition, which, as previously noted, will be paid in GBP. From the inception of these agreements until October 1, 2011, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the GBP by approximately 5.0%. As a result, we recorded a non-cash charge during the third quarter of 2011 of $30.6, which was recorded in “Other expense, net” and based on the fair value of these agreements as of October 1, 2011.

 

Commodity Contracts

 

From time to time, we enter into commodity contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials (“commodity contracts”). At October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding notional amount of commodity contracts was 2.3 million and 1.8 million pounds of copper, respectively. We designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges and, to the extent these commodity contracts are effective in offsetting the variability of the forecasted purchases, the change in fair value is included in AOCI. We reclassify the AOCI associated with our commodity contracts to cost of products sold when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair values of these contracts were $2.2 (current liability) and $1.0 (current asset), respectively. The unrealized gain (loss), net of taxes, recorded in AOCI was ($1.2) and $0.8 as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized loss to income over the next 12 months.

The total number of stock options that were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares was 0.128 and 0.093 for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively, and 0.431 and 0.434 for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, 1.316 and 0.443, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010, 0.101 and 0.102, respectively, of unvested restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because required market thresholds for vesting (as discussed below) were not met.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Under the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended in 2006 and 2011, the successor plan to the 1992 Stock Compensation Plan, up to 4.679 shares of our common stock were available for grant at October 1, 2011. The 2002 Stock Compensation Plan permits the issuance of new shares or shares from treasury upon the exercise of options, vesting of restricted stock units or granting of restricted stock. Each share of restricted stock and restricted stock unit granted reduces availability by 2.5 shares.

 

During the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, we classified excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $6.5 and $3.0, respectively, as financing cash flows and included such amounts in “Minimum withholdings paid on behalf of employees for net share settlements, net of proceeds from exercise of employee stock options and other” within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Restricted stock or restricted stock units may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors in accordance with applicable equity compensation plan documents and agreements. Subject to participants’ continued employment and other plan terms and conditions, the restrictions lapse and awards generally vest over three years. Market (“company performance”) thresholds have been instituted for vesting of substantially all restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. This vesting is based on SPX shareholder return versus the S&P 500 composite index. On each vesting date, we compare the SPX shareholder return to the performance of the S&P 500 composite index for the prior year and for the cumulative period since the date of the grant. If SPX outperforms the S&P 500 composite index for the prior year, the one-third portion of the grant associated with that year will vest.  If SPX outperforms the S&P composite index for the cumulative period, any unvested portion of the grant that was subject to vesting on or prior to the vesting date will vest. Restricted stock and restricted stock units that do not vest within the three-year vesting period are forfeited.

 

We grant restricted stock to non-employee directors under the 2006 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”). Under the Directors’ Plan, up to 0.030 shares of our common stock were available for grant at October 1, 2011. Restricted stock grants have a three-year vesting period based on SPX shareholder return versus the S&P 500 composite index and are subject to the same company performance thresholds for employee awards described in the preceding paragraph. Restricted stock that does not vest within the three-year vesting period in accordance with these performance requirements is forfeited.

 

Stock options may be granted to key employees in the form of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, generally vest ratably over three years, which vesting may be subject to performance criteria, and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. The option price per share may be no less than the fair market value of our common stock at the close of business day prior to the date of grant. Upon exercise, the employee has the option to surrender previously owned shares at current value in payment of the exercise price and/or for withholding tax obligations, and, subject to certain restrictions, may receive a reload option having an exercise price equal to the current market value for the number of shares so surrendered. The reload option expires at the same time that the exercised option would have expired. Any future issuances of options under the plan will not have a reload feature, pursuant to the terms of the plan. We have not granted options to any of our employees since 2004.

 

The recognition of compensation expense for share-based awards, including stock options, is based on their grant date fair values. The fair value of each award is amortized over the lesser of the award’s requisite or derived service period, which is generally up to three years. Compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units totaled $34.5 and $25.4 for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively.

 

We use the Monte Carlo simulation model valuation technique to determine fair value of our restricted stock and restricted stock units as they contain a “market condition.” The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award and calculates the fair value of each restricted stock and restricted stock unit award. We used the following assumptions in determining the fair value of the awards granted on March 1, 2011 and March 1, 2010:

Annual expected stock price volatility is based on the three-year historical volatility. The annual expected dividend yield is based on annual expected dividend payments and the stock price on the date of the grant. The average risk-free interest rate is based on the one-year through three-year daily treasury yield curve rate as of the grant date.

Aggregate intrinsic value (market value of stock less the option exercise price) represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price on October 1, 2011, which would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money option holders exercised their options as of that date. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding and exercisable at October 1, 2011 was $1.2. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the first nine months of 2011 was $2.5, while the related amount for the first nine months of 2010 was $1.1.

During the nine months ended October 1, 2011, “Common stock in treasury” was decreased by the settlement of restricted stock units issued from treasury stock of $12.7 and increased by $7.0 for common stock that was surrendered by recipients of restricted stock as a means of funding the related minimum income tax withholding requirements.

 

During the nine months ended October 2, 2010, “Common stock in treasury” was decreased by the settlement of restricted stock units issued from treasury stock of $12.3 and increased by $5.1 for common stock that was surrendered by recipients of restricted stock as a means of funding the related minimum income tax withholding requirements.

 

Dividends

 

The dividends declared during each of the first three quarters of both 2011 and 2010 were $0.25 per share and totaled $12.7, $12.8 and $12.7 in the first, second and third quarters of 2011, respectively, and $12.5, $12.4 and $12.5 in the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.  Third quarter dividends were paid on October 4, 2011 and October 5, 2010.

(13)        CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS

 

General

 

Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property and competitive claims), environmental matters, and risk management matters (e.g., product and general liability, automobile and workers’ compensation claims), have been filed or are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. Additionally, we may become subject to significant claims of which we are currently unaware, or the claims of which we are aware may result in us incurring a significantly greater liability than we anticipate. This may also be true in connection with past or future acquisitions. While we maintain property, cargo, auto, product, general liability, environmental, and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and have acquired rights under similar policies in connection with acquisitions that we believe cover a portion of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. In addition, we have increased our self-insurance limits over the past several years. While we believe we are entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures. However, we believe that our accruals related to these items are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnity will be resolved without material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These accruals totaled $431.3 (including $368.6 for risk management matters) and $436.2 (including $366.1 for risk management matters) at October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Of these amounts, $360.8 and $368.0 were included in “Other long-term liabilities” within our

 

26



 

condensed consolidated balance sheets at October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, with the remainder included in “Accrued expenses.”

 

We had insurance recovery assets related to risk management matters of $319.0 and $320.0 at October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, included in “Other assets” within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Litigation Matters

 

We are subject to litigation matters that arise in the normal course of business. We believe these matters are either without merit or of a kind that should not have a material effect individually or in the aggregate on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Environmental Matters

 

Our operations and properties are subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements relating to environmental protection. It is our policy to comply fully with all applicable requirements. As part of our effort to comply, we have a comprehensive environmental compliance program that includes environmental audits conducted by internal and external independent professionals, as well as regular communications with our operating units regarding environmental compliance requirements and anticipated regulations. Based on current information, we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and we are not aware of any violations that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have liabilities for site investigation and/or remediation at 91 sites that we own or control. In addition, while we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover the costs of site investigation and/or remediation, we cannot provide assurance that new matters, developments, laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations will not materially affect our business or operations in the future.

 

Our environmental accruals cover anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation, and operation and maintenance of clean-up sites. Our estimates are based primarily on investigations and remediation plans established by independent consultants, regulatory agencies and potentially responsible third parties. Accordingly, our estimates may change based on future developments, including new or changes in existing environmental laws or policies, differences in costs required to complete anticipated actions from estimates provided, future findings of investigation or remediation actions, or alteration to the expected remediation plans. It is our policy to realize a change in estimate once it becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. We do not discount our environmental accruals and do not reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries. We do take into account third-party indemnification from financially viable parties in determining our accruals where there is no dispute regarding the right to indemnification.

 

In the case of contamination at offsite, third-party disposal sites, we have been notified that we are potentially responsible and have received other notices of potential liability pursuant to various environmental laws at 27 sites at which the liability has not been settled, and only 11 of which have been active in the past few years. These laws may impose liability on certain persons that are considered jointly and severally liable for the costs of investigation and remediation of hazardous substances present at these sites, regardless of fault or legality of the original disposal. These persons include the present or former owners or operators of the site and companies that generated, disposed of or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances at the site. We are considered a “de minimis” potentially responsible party at most of the sites, and we estimate the aggregate probable remaining liability at these sites is immaterial.

 

We conduct extensive environmental due diligence with respect to potential acquisitions, including environmental site assessments and such further testing as we may deem warranted. If an environmental matter is identified, we estimate the cost and either establish a liability, purchase insurance or obtain an indemnity from a financially sound seller. However, in connection with our acquisitions or dispositions, we may assume or retain significant environmental liabilities, some of which we may be unaware. The potential costs related to these environmental matters and the possible impact on future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of government laws and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and effectiveness of various clean-up technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other types of recovery, and the questionable level of our responsibility. We record a liability when it is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Due to the uncertainties previously described, we are unable to reasonably estimate the amount of possible additional losses associated with the resolution of these matters beyond what has been recorded.

 

In our opinion, after considering accruals established for such purposes, remedial actions for compliance with the present laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment are not expected to have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Risk Management Matters

 

We are self-insured for certain of our workers’ compensation, automobile, product and general liability, disability and health costs, and we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liability. Our accruals for risk management matters are determined by us, based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported, and generally are not discounted. We consider a number of factors, including third-party actuarial valuations, when making these determinations. We maintain third-party stop-loss insurance policies to cover certain liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts. This insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against loss exposure.

 

Collaborative Arrangements

 

Collaborative arrangements are defined as contractual arrangements in which the parties are (1) active participants to the arrangements and (2) exposed to significant risks and rewards that depend on the commercial success of the endeavor. Costs incurred and revenues generated from transactions with third parties are required to be reported by the collaborators on the appropriate line item in their respective income statements.

 

We enter into consortium arrangements for certain projects within our Thermal Equipment and Services segment. Under such arrangements, each consortium member is responsible for performing certain discrete items of work within the total scope of the contracted work and the consortium expires when all contractual obligations are completed. The revenues for these discrete items of work are defined in the contract with the project owner and each consortium member bearing the profitability risk associated with its own work. Our consortium arrangements typically provide that each consortium member assumes its responsible share of any damages or losses associated with the project; however, the use of a consortium arrangement typically results in joint and several liability for the consortium members. If responsibility cannot be determined or a consortium member defaults, then the consortium members are responsible according to their share of the contract value. Within our consolidated financial statements, we account for our share of the revenues and profits under the consortium arrangements. As of October 1, 2011, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $398.8 (of which approximately 56% had been recognized as revenue), and the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $1,006.1. As of December 31, 2010, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $381.4 (of which approximately 45% had been recognized as revenue), and the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $948.7. At October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we recorded liabilities of $3.4 and $3.2, respectively, representing the estimated fair value of our potential obligation under the joint and several liability provisions associated with the consortium arrangements.

 

U.S. Health Care Reform Legislation

 

In the first quarter of 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “PPAC Act”) was enacted. As discussed in Note 14, the PPAC Act eliminated a portion of the federal income tax deduction available to companies that provide prescription drug benefits to retirees under Medicare Part D. We currently are evaluating other prospective effects of the PPAC Act and the related effects on our business.

 

(14)                         INCOME TAXES

 

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

 

As of October 1, 2011, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $84.6 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $65.8), of which $63.7, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate from continuing operations.

 

We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax provision. As of October 1, 2011, gross accrued interest excluded from the amounts above totaled $13.0 (net accrued interest of $9.9). There were no significant penalties recorded during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 or October 2, 2010.

 

Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, we believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $30.0 to $40.0. The previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax issues including the deductibility of interest expense in certain jurisdictions and tax matters relating to prior acquisitions or dispositions.

 

28



 

Uncertain Tax Positions and Other Tax Matters

 

We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential uncertain positions when we determine that an uncertain position meets the criteria of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded in “Income taxes payable” and “Deferred and other income taxes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the expectation as to the timing of when the matters will be resolved. As events change and resolution occurs, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities.

 

During the third quarter of 2011, we adopted an alternative method of allocating certain expenses between foreign and domestic sources for federal income tax purposes. As a result of this method change, we have determined that it is more likely than not that we will be able to utilize our existing foreign tax credits within the remaining carryforward period. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2011, we reversed the valuation allowance on our foreign tax credit carryforwards, resulting in an income tax benefit of $27.8. This favorable adjustment was partially offset by $6.9 of federal income taxes that were recorded in connection with our plan to repatriate a portion of the earnings of a foreign subsidiary.

 

During the second quarter of 2010, the IRS completed the field examination of our 2006 and 2007 federal income tax returns and issued a Revenue Agent’s report (“RAR”). We disagreed with and have protested certain adjustments to the Appeals Office of the IRS. Upon issuance of the RAR, we reduced a portion of our valuation allowance and our liability for uncertain tax positions to reflect amounts determined to be effectively settled or that satisfied the more likely than not threshold, resulting in the recognition of income tax benefits of $22.0 and $7.3 to continuing and discontinued operations, respectively.

 

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2010 was impacted unfavorably by a domestic charge of $6.2 associated with the taxation of prescription drug costs for retirees under Medicare Part D as a result of the first quarter 2010 enactment of the PPAC Act.

 

The IRS currently is performing an audit of our 2008 and 2009 federal income tax returns. At this stage, the outcome of the audit is uncertain; however, we believe that any contingencies are adequately provided for. We reasonably expect to conclude this examination within the next twelve months.

 

State income tax returns generally are subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing the respective tax returns. The impact on such tax returns of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination, administrative appeals or litigation. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.

 

We have various foreign income tax returns under examination. Significant jurisdictions with tax examinations underway include: Canada for the 2000 to 2002 and 2006 tax returns, Germany for the 2005 to 2009 tax returns, and the United Kingdom for the 2009 tax return. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for. During the second quarter of 2011, we were notified of the determination rendered on a Canadian federal income tax appeal and recognized a $2.5 tax benefit upon the effective settlement of the various issues. The outcome of the provincial taxes related to these matters is still pending.

 

An unfavorable resolution on one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the quarter and year in which an adjustment is recorded or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process or we have not yet reached the final stages of the appeals process for the above matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.

 

Upon the conclusion of our disposition activities discussed in Note 3 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, we may recognize an additional income tax provision or benefit, generally as part of discontinued operations.

 

(15)         FAIR VALUE

 

Fair value is 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. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

29



 

·                                         Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

·                                         Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

·                                         Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

 

The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure different financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Our financial derivative assets and liabilities include FX forward contracts, FX embedded derivatives and commodity contracts, which are valued using valuation models that measure fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. We have not made any adjustments to the inputs obtained from the independent sources. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments to be active. We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.

 

As of October 1, 2011, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk as the related instruments are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risk.

 

Investments in Equity Securities

 

Our available-for-sale securities include equity investments that are traded in active international markets. They are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Certain of our investments in equity securities that are not readily marketable are accounted for under the fair value option, with such values determined by multidimensional pricing models. These models consider market activity based on modeling of securities with similar credit quality, duration, yield and structure. A variety of inputs are used, including benchmark yields, reported trades, non-binding broker/dealer quotes, issuer spread and reference data including market research publications. Market indicators, industry and economic events are also considered. We have not made any adjustments to the inputs obtained from the independent sources. At October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these assets had a fair value of $7.2 and $8.5, respectively, which are estimated using various valuation models, including the Monte-Carlo simulation model.

During the nine months ended October 1, 2011, we determined that the fair value of our SPX Heat Transfer Inc. reporting unit was less than the carrying value of its net assets (see Note 7). The fair value of SPX Heat Transfer Inc. was based upon weighting the income and market approaches, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows, as well as valuation multiples derived from comparable publicly-traded companies that are applied to the historical and projected operating results of SPX Heat Transfer Inc. (unobservable inputs — Level 3). We estimated the implied fair value of SPX Heat Transfer Inc.’s goodwill, which resulted in an impairment charge related to such goodwill of $17.2 during the second quarter of 2011.  In addition, we recorded an impairment charge in the second quarter of 2011 of $7.5 related to the indefinite-lived intangible assets of SPX Heat Transfer Inc., with the fair value of these intangible assets determined based on a projection of cash flows for the assets discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows (unobservable inputs — Level 3).

 

During the nine months ended October 1, 2011, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.7 to “Special charges, net” related to the rationalization of certain software assets that occurred as a result of the integration of the DS acquisition (see Note 3). The fair value of these assets ($16.2) was determined by obtaining information in the specific markets being evaluated, including the costs incurred to produce similar assets and assumptions about demand in the market for these assets (unobservable inputs Level 3).

 

During the nine months ended October 1, 2011, we determined that a trademark held by a business within our Industrial Products and Services segment was impaired and, thus, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.8 to “Special charges, net” during 2011. We determined the fair value of $1.2 by applying an estimated royalty rate to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions (unobservable inputs Level 3).

 

During the nine months ended October 2, 2010, we recorded impairment charges of $4.3 to “Special charges, net” related to idle facilities and certain machinery and equipment (see Note 5). The fair values of these assets ($5.5 and $0.4, respectively) were based on the estimated selling prices. We determined the estimated selling prices by obtaining information in the specific markets being evaluated, including comparable sales of similar assets and assumptions about demand in the market for these assets (unobservable inputs — Level 3).

 

The carrying amount of cash and equivalents and receivables reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

The fair value of our debt instruments, based on borrowing rates available to us at October 1, 2011 for similar debt, was $1,246.4 at October 1, 2011, compared to our carrying value of $1,201.6.

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(in millions, except per share data)

 

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

 

During the third quarter of 2011, our revenue trends generally were consistent with the first half of the year, as organic revenues for the quarter, compared to the respective 2010 period, increased 4.1% (organic revenue for the first nine months of 2011, compared to the respective 2010 period, increased 5.6%). The increase in organic revenue continued to be driven by our Flow Technology and Test and Measurement segments, as organic revenue growth for these segments totaled 16.3% and 4.8%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2011. Third quarter 2011 organic revenues for our Thermal Equipment and Services and Industrial Products and Services segments continued to be affected negatively by volume declines in China and lower volumes and pricing on power transformers, respectively.

 

Segment income for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 totaled $156.4 and $403.2, respectively, compared to $157.7 and $399.9 during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010. Segment income during 2011 has been impacted favorably by the revenue growth within our Flow Technology and Test and Measurement segments. However, these year-over-year increases in segment income have been offset by the impact of unfavorable project mix within our Thermal Equipment and Services segment and lower volumes and pricing on power transformers in our Industrial Products and Services segment.

 

For the first nine months of 2011, cash flows from operations totaled $124.0, compared to $43.7 during the first nine months of 2010, with the increase attributable to a decline in working capital investments during the nine months ended October 1, 2011.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we expect the organic revenue growth trends for the Flow Technology and Test and Measurement segments to continue at rates comparable to those experienced during the first nine months of 2011, and more favorable trends within our Thermal Equipment and Services and Industrial Products and Services segments.

 

Other matters of note, including items that impacted our financial performance for the first nine months of 2011, were as follows:

 

·                  Acquisitions:

 

·                  On August 24, 2011, in the Flow Technology segment, we entered into an agreement to purchase Clyde Union (Holdings) S.A.R.L. (“Clyde Union”). On November 1, 2011, we executed an amendment to that agreement. The purchase price, under the amended agreement, includes an initial payment of 565.0 British Pounds (“GBP”), plus potential earn-out payments of up to 185.0 GBP (see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on the potential earn-outs).

·                  The acquisition is targeted to close by December 22, 2011.

·                  The purchase price will be funded with available cash and the two term loans noted below.

·                  In the Flow Technology segment, we completed the acquisition of B.W. Murdoch Ltd. (“Murdoch”), an engineering company supplying processing solutions for the food and beverage industry, for a purchase price of $8.1.

·                  In the Test and Measurement segment, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Teradyne, Inc.’s Diagnostic Solutions business (“DS”), a global supplier of diagnostic solutions for transportation OEMs and automotive dealerships, for a purchase price of $40.2.

 

·                  Long-Term Debt:

 

·                  Following the end of the quarter, on October 5, 2011 we modified our senior credit facilities in order to provide additional committed senior secured financing in an aggregate amount of $800.0, consisting of two term loans.

·                  In June 2011, we entered into new senior credit facilities, with a total capacity of $1,800.0, which replaced our then-existing senior credit facilities.

·                  In June 2011, we redeemed our outstanding 6.25% senior notes, resulting in a principal payment of $21.3.

·                  In January 2011, we redeemed our outstanding 7.50% senior notes, resulting in a principal payment of $28.2.

 

·                  Income Taxes — During the third quarter of 2011, we recorded an income tax benefit of $27.8 associated with the reversal of the valuation allowance on our existing foreign tax credit carryforwards.  This benefit was offset partially by $6.9 of federal income taxes that were recorded in connection with our plan to repatriate a portion of the earnings of a foreign subsidiary.

 

·                  Other:

 

·                  Beginning on August 30, 2011, we entered into foreign currency protection agreements to hedge a significant portion of the purchase price of the Clyde Union acquisition, which, as previously noted, will be paid in GBP. From the inception of these agreements until October

 

32



 

                        1, 2011, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the GBP by approximately 5.0%. As a result, we recorded a non-cash charge during the third quarter of 2011 of $30.6, which was recorded in “Other expense, net” and based on the fair value of these agreements as of October 1, 2011.

 

·                  In the second quarter of 2011, within our Thermal Equipment and Services segment, we recorded an impairment charge of $24.7 related to the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of our SPX Heat Transfer Inc. reporting unit.

 

·                  During the first quarter of 2011, we recorded an insurance recovery of $6.3, within our Industrial Products and Services segment, related to a product liability matter.

 

·                  For one of our domestic pension plans, in the first quarter of 2011, we began amortizing the unrecognized gains (losses) over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants as opposed to the average remaining service period of the active participants, as almost all of the plan participants have become inactive. This change resulted in a reduction in pension expense of approximately $5.0 and $15.0 during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011.

 

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

 

The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. We establish actual interim closing dates using a “fiscal” calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter for the first quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2011 are April 2, July 2 and October 1, compared to the respective April 3, July 3 and October 2, 2010 dates. This practice only impacts the quarterly reporting periods and not the annual reporting period. We had one fewer day in the first quarter of 2011 and will have one more day in the fourth quarter of 2011 than in the respective 2010 periods.

 

Seasonality and Competition — Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets that they serve. In addition, certain businesses have seasonal fluctuations. Our heating and ventilation products businesses tend to be stronger during the third and fourth quarters, as customer buying habits are driven largely by seasonal weather patterns. Demand for cooling towers and related services is highly correlated to timing on large construction contracts, which may cause significant fluctuations from period to period. Revenues for our Service Solutions business typically follow program launch timing for diagnostic systems and service equipment. In aggregate, our businesses tend to be stronger in the second half of the year.

 

Although our businesses operate in highly competitive markets, our competitive position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by segment since our competitors do not offer all the same product lines or serve all of the same markets. In addition, specific reliable comparative figures are not available for many of our competitors. In most product groups, competition comes from numerous concerns, both large and small. The principal methods of competition are service, product performance, technical innovations and price. These methods vary with the type of product sold. We believe we can compete effectively on the basis of each of these factors as they apply to the various products and services we offer.

 

Non-GAAP Measures — Organic revenue growth (decline) presented herein is defined as revenue growth (decline) excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures. We believe that this metric is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, as when read in conjunction with our revenues, it presents a useful tool to evaluate our ongoing operations and provides investors with a tool they can use to evaluate our management of assets held from period to period. In addition, organic revenue growth (decline) is one of the factors we use in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our business. This metric, however, is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for revenue growth (decline) as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Revenues — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the increase in revenues, compared to the respective 2010 periods, was due to organic revenue growth, the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, and incremental revenues of $13.7 and $80.9 associated with the acquisitions of Murdoch and DS in 2011, and the Anhydro business (“Anhydro”), Torque Tension Systems Ltd. (“TTS”), and Gerstenberg Schröder A/S (“Gerstenberg”) in July, April and February 2010, respectively. The organic revenue growth was attributable primarily to sales into the food and beverage, power and energy and general industrial end markets of our Flow Technology segment, as well as increased demand from the automotive OEM customers and their dealers within our Test and Measurement segment.  These increases in organic revenue were offset partially by organic declines within our Thermal Equipment and Services segment, associated primarily with volume declines of dry cooling products in China and at SPX Heat Transfer Inc., and our Industrial Products and Services segment, related primarily to lower sales of power transformers.

 

Gross Profit — The increase in gross profit during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, compared to the respective 2010 periods, was due primarily to the revenue performance described above. Gross profit for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 also was favorably impacted by an insurance recovery of $6.3 during the first quarter of 2011 related to a product liability matter. Despite the revenue performance described above, gross profit as a percentage of revenues declined for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, when compared to the same periods in 2010, primarily as a result of unfavorable project mix within the Thermal Equipment and Services and Flow Technology segments and lower pricing on power transformers within the Industrial Products and Services segment. In addition, we incurred start-up costs of $3.2 and $7.0 during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively, associated with the expansion of our power transformer facility in Waukesha, WI.

 

34



 

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the increase in SG&A expense, compared to the respective 2010 periods, was due primarily to:

 

·                  Incremental SG&A associated with the Murdoch, DS, Anhydro, TTS and Gerstenberg acquisitions of $1.8 and $18.7, respectively;

·                  Additional SG&A to support the organic revenue growth during the periods;

·                  An increase of $2.5 and $9.1, respectively, in stock compensation expense, primarily attributable to a higher fair value for the 2011 stock compensation awards resulting from an increase in our share price;

·                  Higher corporate expense, primarily as a result of costs associated with certain corporate-led initiatives (e.g., global expansion and innovation); and

·                  A weaker U.S. dollar (compared to the respective 2010 periods), which resulted in an increase in SG&A of $5.9 and $24.6, respectively.

 

These increases were offset partially by a reduction in pension expense for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 primarily as a result of a change in the amortization period of the unrecognized gains/losses for one of our domestic pension plans.

 

Intangible Amortization For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, compared to the respective 2010 periods, the increase in intangible amortization was due primarily to amortization associated with intangible assets purchased in the Murdoch, DS, Anhydro, TTS, and Gerstenberg acquisitions.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, we recorded an impairment charge of $24.7 associated with the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of our SPX Heat Transfer Inc. reporting unit, with $17.2 of the charge related to goodwill and $7.5 to tradenames. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

 

Special Charges, net For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, special charges, net related primarily to restructuring initiatives to consolidate manufacturing, distribution, and administrative facilities and functions. The amount for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 also included an impairment charge of $3.7 related to the rationalization of certain software assets that occurred as a result of the integration of the DS acquisition. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the details of actions taken in 2011 and 2010.

 

Other Expense, net — Other expense, net, for the three months ended October 1, 2011 was composed primarily of a decrease in the fair value of our foreign currency protection agreements (“FX forward contracts”) of $35.2, partially offset by gains on our currency forward embedded derivatives (“FX embedded derivatives”) of $3.8 and foreign currency transaction gains of $0.2. The expense associated with the FX forward contracts includes a non-cash charge of $30.6 related to our hedging a significant portion of the purchase price of the Clyde Union acquisition, which will be paid at closing in GBP. From the inception of these FX forward contracts through October 1, 2011, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the GBP by approximately 5.0%.  Other expense, net, for the three months ended October 2, 2010 was composed primarily of a charge associated with the net decrease in the fair value of our FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives of $1.4 and foreign currency transaction losses of $5.9, partially offset by investment income of $0.7.

 

Other expense, net, for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 was composed primarily of a decrease in the fair value of our FX forward contracts of $33.6 and foreign currency transaction losses of $4.6, partially offset by gains on FX embedded derivatives of $0.8 and insurance settlements of $2.8 related to death benefits received and a property insurance claim. The expense associated with the FX forward contracts includes a non-cash charge incurred during the third quarter of 2011 of $30.6 related to our hedging a significant portion of the purchase price of the Clyde Union acquisition. Other expense, net, for the nine months ended October 2, 2010 consisted primarily of a charge associated with the net decrease in the fair value of our FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives of $20.5 (see Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and foreign currency transaction losses of $2.2, partially offset by investment income of $2.2.

 

Interest Expense, net Interest expense, net, includes both interest expense and interest income. The increase in interest expense, net, compared to the 2010 periods, was the result of replacing the term loan under our then-existing senior credit facilities (a loan that carried an interest rate, inclusive of the impact of the related interest rate protection agreements (“Swaps”), of approximately 5.0%) with the $600.0 of 6.875% senior notes in August 2010. In addition, in connection with the refinancing of our senior credit facilities, which was completed on June 30, 2011, we wrote off $0.4 of deferred financing fees associated with our then-existing senior

 

35



 

credit facilities. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Also, refer to the discussion of Liquidity and Financial Condition in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for details pertaining to our 2010 debt activity.

 

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Term LoanThe amount for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010 was incurred in connection with the August 2010 repayment of the term loan under our senior credit facilities (see Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements), with $24.3 associated with the early termination of the related Swaps and the remainder with the write-off of deferred financing costs and early termination fees.

 

Equity Earnings in Joint Ventures Our equity earnings in joint ventures were primarily attributable to earnings from our EGS Electrical Group, LLC and subsidiaries joint venture, which totaled $6.7 and $6.2 for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively, and $20.0 and $21.3 for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively.

 

Income Tax Provision — For the three months ended October 1, 2011, we recorded an income tax benefit of $4.8 on $57.1 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of (8.4%). This compares to an income tax provision for the three months ended October 2, 2010 of $21.5 on $61.2 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 35.1%.  During the third quarter of 2011, we adopted an alternative method of allocating certain expenses between foreign and domestic sources for federal income tax purposes. As a result of this election, we have determined that it is more likely than not that we will be able to utilize our existing foreign tax credits within the remaining carryforward period. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2011, we reversed the valuation allowance on our foreign tax credit carryforwards, resulting in an income tax benefit of $27.8. This favorable adjustment was partially offset by $6.9 of federal income taxes that were provided in connection with our plan to repatriate a portion of the earnings of a foreign subsidiary.

 

For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, we recorded an income tax provision of $16.2 on $137.1 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 11.8%. This compares to an income tax provision for the nine months ended October 2, 2010 of $37.4 on $164.6 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.7%. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 was impacted by the items noted above for the three months ended October 1, 2011, along with tax benefits of $2.5 associated with the conclusion of a Canadian appeals process and $4.5 of tax credits related to the expansion of our power transformer plant in Waukesha, WI. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2010 was impacted favorably by a tax benefit of $22.0 that was recorded during the period in connection with the completion of the field examinations of our 2006 and 2007 federal income tax returns. This benefit was offset partially by a domestic charge of $6.2 associated with the taxation of prescription drug costs for retirees under Medicare Part D as a result of the first quarter 2010 enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

 

RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

As part of our operating strategy, we regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures, some of which are or may be material. As a result of this continual review, we determined that certain of our businesses would be better strategic fits with other companies or investors.

 

We report businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when, among other things, we commit to a plan to divest the business or asset group, actively begin marketing the business or asset group, and when the sale of the business or asset group is deemed probable within the next twelve months. The following businesses, which have been sold, met these requirements, and therefore have been reported as discontinued operations for the periods presented:

Q2 2009

 

Q1 2010

 

 

Cooling Spain — Sold for cash consideration of one Euro (exclusive of cash transferred with the business of $2.3), resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $1.9 during the fourth quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, we recorded a net charge of $0.1 to “Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax” within our condensed consolidated statements of operations in connection with adjustments to certain liabilities that we retained.

 

PSD — Sold for cash consideration of $3.0, resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $3.6 during the first quarter of 2010.

 

In addition to the businesses discussed above, we recognized a net gain of $0.4 and $1.3 during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively, and a net loss of $0.1 and a net gain of $1.2 during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on sales from previously discontinued businesses. Refer to the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the disclosure of all discontinued businesses

 

36



 

during the 2008 through 2010 period.

 

During the second quarter of 2010, the field examinations of our 2006 and 2007 federal income tax returns were completed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In connection with the completion of these examinations, we reduced our liability for uncertain tax positions and recognized an income tax benefit of $7.3 to “Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax” associated with a business previously disposed of and reported as a discontinued operation.

 

The final sales price for certain of the divested businesses is subject to adjustment based on working capital existing at the respective closing dates. The working capital figures are subject to agreement with the buyers, or if we cannot come to agreement, an arbitration process. Final agreement of the working capital figures for certain of these transactions has yet to occur. In addition, changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur. It is possible that the sales price and resulting gains/losses on these, and other previous divestitures, may be materially adjusted in subsequent periods.

 

For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, income (loss) from discontinued operations and the related income taxes are shown below:

Revenues — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the increase in revenues, compared to the respective 2010 periods, was due to organic revenue growth, incremental revenues of $2.4 and $52.5 for the three and nine months ended, respectively, associated with the acquisitions of Murdoch, Anhydro, and Gerstenberg, and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar during the periods. Organic revenue growth was attributable primarily to additional sales into the food and beverage, power and energy and general industrial end markets.

 

Segment Income — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, segment income increased, compared to the respective 2010 periods, primarily as a result of the organic revenue growth and the acquisitions noted above. Despite the revenue performance noted above, segment margins generally remained unchanged during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, compared to the respective 2010 periods, as the additional absorption provided by the organic revenue increases was offset by the impact of a higher percentage of low-margin systems’ revenue during 2011.

Revenues — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the increase in revenues, compared to the respective 2010 periods, was due to an increase in organic revenue, incremental revenues of $11.3 and $27.0 for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively, associated with the acquisition of DS, and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. The organic revenue growth was attributable primarily to an increase in sales to the segment’s automotive OEM customers and dealers, as well as to the global aftermarket.

 

Segment Income — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, segment income and margin increased, compared to the respective 2010 periods, primarily as a result of the organic revenue increase noted above as well as contributions from the acquisition of DS.

Revenues — For the three months ended October 1, 2011, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2010 period, was due to a decline in organic revenue, partially offset by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. The organic revenue decrease was attributable primarily to declines in sales of dry cooling products in China, offset partially by an increase in evaporative cooling revenue in the Americas.

 

For the nine months ended October 2, 2011, the increase in revenues, compared to the respective 2010 period, was due to the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by a decline in organic revenue.  The organic revenue decline was attributable

primarily to a decline in sales of dry cooling products in China and declines at SPX Heat Transfer Inc., offset partially by increases in evaporative cooling revenue in the Americas.

 

Segment Income — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, segment income and margins decreased, compared to the respective 2010 periods, primarily as a result of unfavorable project mix and the revenue decline related to SPX Heat Transfer Inc. noted above.

Revenues — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2010 periods, was due to a decline in organic revenues. The decline in organic revenue was primarily due to lower sales of power transformers. These decreases in organic revenue for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 were offset partially by additional sales of hydraulic tools and equipment.

 

Segment Income — For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the decrease in segment income and margin, compared to the respective 2010 periods, was due primarily to the organic revenue decline noted above, including the impact of reduced sales prices for power transformers. In addition, we incurred start-up costs of $3.2 and $7.0 during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively, associated with the expansion of our power transformer facility in Waukesha, WI. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, the decline was partially offset by an insurance recovery during the first quarter of 2011 of $6.3 related to a product liability matter.

Corporate Expense — Corporate expense generally relates to the cost of our Charlotte, NC corporate headquarters and our Asia Pacific center in Shanghai, China. For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, the increase in corporate expense was attributable primarily to additional costs associated with certain corporate-led initiatives (e.g., global expansion and innovation).

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense — The increase in stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, compared to the respective prior year periods, was due primarily to an increase in the fair value of our 2011 restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, and an increase in the number of shares granted in 2011, primarily to participants who already met the service requirements under the plan at the time of the 2011 grant (i.e., age 55 and five years of service). The weighted-average fair value of our 2011 stock-based compensation awards, which is directly correlated to changes in our share price (see Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our valuation technique), increased approximately 28% compared to the weighted-average fair value of our 2010 awards.

 

Pension and Postretirement Expense — Pension and postretirement expense represents our consolidated expense, which we do not allocate for segment reporting purposes. The decrease in pension and postretirement expense for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, compared to the respective prior year periods, was due to an increase in the number of inactive participants in one of our domestic pension plans, which resulted in almost all of the plan participants being inactive. Accordingly, in 2011, we began amortizing the unrecognized gains/losses over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants as opposed to the average remaining service period of the active participants. This change resulted in a reduction in pension expense of approximately $5.0 and $15.0 during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively.

OUTLOOK

 

The following table highlights our backlog as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and revenue and profit margin expectations for our segments for 2011 based on information available at the time of this report.

 

Segment

 

Comments

 

 

 

Flow Technology

 

In the first nine months of 2011, the segment experienced a revenue increase of 25.6%, including organic growth of 16.1%, compared to the corresponding period of 2010. Based on increased demand across most of the end markets served by the segment and, to a lesser extent, incremental revenues from the 2010 and 2011 acquisitions and favorable foreign currency impact, we are projecting full year revenues to increase between 21% and 22% over 2010. We are projecting margins to be between 13.0% and 13.2% for 2011. The segment had backlog of $899.4 and $789.2 as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We expect to convert approximately 48% of the segment’s October 1, 2011 backlog to revenue over the remainder of 2011.

 

 

 

Test and Measurement

 

In the first nine months of 2011, the segment experienced a revenue increase of 18.0%, including organic growth of 10.7%, compared to the corresponding period of 2010. For 2011, we are projecting full year revenues to increase between 16% and 17% over 2010, driven primarily by organic growth associated with increased new model introductions, our own new product launches, incremental revenues associated with the acquisition of DS and, to a lesser extent, favorable foreign currency impact. We are projecting margins to be between 10.1% and 10.3% for 2011. Backlog for the segment is not material, as its businesses are primarily short-cycle in nature.

 

 

 

Thermal Equipment and Services

 

In the first nine months of 2011, the segment experienced a revenue increase of 0.7%, including an organic decline of 3.0%, compared to the corresponding period of 2010. We are projecting revenues to increase between 2% and 3% for the full year 2011 over 2010, with the organic revenue increase concentrated in South Africa, the United States, and Europe, partially offset by a decline in China. Additionally, we expect a favorable foreign currency impact. We are projecting margins to be between 9.5% and 9.7% for 2011. We had backlog of $1,191.8 and $1,625.1 as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, across the segment, with the majority in our cooling systems and products and thermal services and equipment businesses. We expect to convert approximately 26% of the segment’s October 1, 2011 backlog to revenues during the remainder of 2011. Portions of this backlog are long-term in nature, with the related revenues expected to be recorded through 2015. We expect large contracts to continue to be significant for this segment, which may contribute to large fluctuations in revenues and profits from period to period.

 

 

 

Industrial Products and Services

 

In the first nine months of 2011, the segment experienced a revenue decline of 3.9%, including an organic decline of 4.6%, compared to the corresponding period of 2010. We are projecting an increase in revenues of between 4% and 5% for the full year 2011 over 2010, driven primarily by organic growth associated with increased sales of communication technology products, hydraulic tools and equipment, and solar power products offset by declines in volume and pricing for our power transformer business. We are projecting margins to be between 8.5% and 8.7% for 2011. Backlog for the segment totaled $490.4 and $359.4 as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We expect to convert approximately 37% of the segment’s October 1, 2011 backlog to revenue over the remainder of 2011.

 

We do not expect the tragic events that occurred in Japan during March 2011 to have a significant impact to our operating results or our supply chain. Annual sales in Japan are about 1% of our total annual revenues and we do not have manufacturing facilities in Japan. With regard to the broader implications of the Japan events, less than 3% of our total annual revenues are related to nuclear power. In total, we have approximately $118.5 of nuclear power orders in our backlog as of October 1, 2011, which is split evenly between our Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services segments. We currently expect these orders to be delivered in 2011 and 2012. Future nuclear power orders could face funding and approval challenges; however, we are well positioned to benefit from alternative investments in natural gas, coal and solar power.

Operating Activities — The increase in cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily the result of the year-over-year decline in working capital investments. The more significant transactions impacting working capital cash flows were as follows:

 

·                  During the nine months ended October 1, 2011, we had income tax refunds, net of taxes paid, of $13.7, compared to income taxes paid, net of refunds, of $20.5 during the nine months ended October 2, 2010; and

·                  During the nine months ended October 2, 2010, we terminated all of our Swaps resulting in a cash payment of $26.9.

 

Investing Activities — The decrease in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was due primarily to business acquisitions and investments (i.e., the DS and Murdoch acquisitions in 2011 and the Anhydro, TTS and Gerstenberg acquisitions and the EGS investment in 2010) of $53.1 and $122.1 during the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively, partially offset by increased capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2011 (2011 - $77.9 vs. 2010 - $35.7), with the increase related primarily to the expansion of our power transformer facility in Waukesha, WI.

 

Financing Activities — The increase in cash flows used in financing activities during the nine months ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was due primarily to net repayments of short-term and long-term debt of $2.0 during the nine months ended October 1, 2011 versus net borrowings of $27.5 during the nine months ended October 2, 2010. The more significant transactions impacting cash flows from/used in financing activities during the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 were as follows:

 

·                 During the nine months ended October 1, 2011, we redeemed the 7.50% and 6.25% senior notes for an aggregate payment of $49.5; and

·                 In August 2010, we issued $600.0 of 6.875% senior notes and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the remaining balance of $562.5 under the term loan of our then-existing senior credit facilities.

 

Discontinued Operations — The decrease in cash flows from discontinued operations during the nine months ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was due primarily to cash proceeds recorded during the nine months ended October 2, 2010 (i) of $3.0 in connection with the sale of PSD and (ii) for a $3.7 promissory note that was received in connection with a 2009 disposition. There were no proceeds received for business dispositions during the nine months ended October 1, 2011.

New Senior Credit Facilities

 

On June 30, 2011, we entered into new senior credit facilities with a syndicate of lenders that replaced our then-existing senior credit facilities. By entering into new facilities, we extended the maturity of our facilities until 2016, and improved our financial flexibility. The new senior credit facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $1,800.0, consisting of the following (each with a final maturity of June 30, 2016):

 

·                  A domestic revolving credit facility, available for loans and letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount up to $300.0;

 

·                  A global revolving credit facility, available for loans in U.S. Dollars, Euros, British Pounds and other currencies in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $300.0;

 

·                  A participation foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $1,100.0; and

 

·                  A bilateral foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $100.0.

 

In addition, the lenders in the syndicate under the new senior credit facilities generally are comparable to those that existed for the previous senior credit facilities.

 

42



 

The new senior credit facilities allow additional commitments to add an incremental term loan facility and/or increase the commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and/or the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility by up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000.0.

 

We are the borrower under all the facilities, and certain of our foreign subsidiaries are borrowers under the foreign credit instrument facilities (and we may in the future designate other subsidiaries to be borrowers under the revolving credit facilities and the foreign credit instrument facilities).

 

All borrowings and other extensions of credit under our new senior credit facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.

 

The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by any borrower on behalf of itself or any of its subsidiaries or certain joint ventures. The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support our foreign operations.

 

At October 1, 2011, we had $83.8 and $654.5 of outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit and our foreign trade facilities of our senior credit agreement, respectively. In addition, we had $2.9 of letters of credit outstanding under separate arrangements in China and South Africa.

 

The interest rates applicable to loans under our new senior credit facilities are, at our option, equal to either (i) an alternate base rate (the higher of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (ii) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate for dollars (Eurodollar) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date). We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for Eurodollar borrowings. The fees charged and the interest rate margins applicable to Eurodollar and alternate base rate loans are (all on a per annum basis) as follows:

The weighted-average interest rate of our outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facilities was approximately 2.3% at October 1, 2011.

 

The fees for bilateral foreign credit commitments are as specified above for foreign credit commitments, unless otherwise agreed with the bilateral foreign issuing lender. We also pay fronting fees on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit and foreign credit instruments (in the participation facility) at the rates of 0.125% per annum and 0.20% per annum, respectively.

 

Our new senior credit facilities require mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions). Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days of the receipt of such proceeds.

 

We may voluntarily prepay loans under our new senior credit facilities, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

 

43



 

Indebtedness under our new senior credit facilities is guaranteed by:

 

·                  Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary, with specified exceptions; and

 

·                  SPX Corporation with respect to the obligations of our foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral participation foreign credit instrument facility.

 

Indebtedness under our new senior credit facilities is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by us or our domestic subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of our material first tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions). If our corporate credit rating is “Ba2” or less (or not rated) by Moody’s and “BB” or less (or not rated) by S&P, then we and our domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all of our and their assets. If our corporate credit rating is “Baa3” or better by Moody’s or “BBB-” or better by S&P and no defaults exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under our senior credit facilities will be unsecured.

 

Our new senior credit facilities require that we maintain:

 

·                  A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and

 

·                  A Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters after certain permitted acquisitions by us).

 

Our new senior credit facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We do not expect these covenants to restrict our liquidity, financial condition or access to capital resources in the foreseeable future. Our new senior credit facilities also contain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default.

 

We are permitted under our senior credit facilities to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) less than 2.50 to 1.00. If our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $100.0 in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after June 30, 2011 equal to the sum of (i) $300.0 and (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the credit agreement generally as consolidated net income subject to certain adjustments solely for the purposes of determining this basket) during the period from July 1, 2011 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit).

 

During the third quarter of 2011, we were in compliance with all covenant provisions of our new senior credit facilities and our senior notes.

 

Availability — At October 1, 2011, we had no borrowings and $516.2 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to $83.8 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at October 1, 2011, we had $545.5 of available issuance capacity under our foreign trade facilities after giving effect to $654.5 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. We also have a trade receivables financing agreement, whereby we can borrow on a continuous basis up to $130.0. Availability of funds may fluctuate over time given changes in eligible receivable balances, but will not exceed the $130.0 program limit. As of October 1, 2011, we had $0.8 available under the trade receivables financing agreement, after giving effect to borrowings of $46.0. The facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities customary for facilities of this type. The facility does not contain any covenants that we view as materially constraining to the activities of our business.

 

We have a shelf registration statement for 8.3 shares of common stock that may be issued for acquisitions. In addition, other financing instruments may be used from time to time, including, but not limited to, private placement instruments, operating leases, capital leases and securitizations. We expect that we will continue to access these markets as appropriate to maintain liquidity and to provide sources of funds for general corporate purposes, acquisitions or to refinance existing debt.

Modifications to Senior Credit Facilities

 

On October 5, 2011, we modified our existing senior credit facilities in order to provide additional committed senior secured financing in an aggregate amount of $800.0, consisting of the following term loans (collectively, the “Term Loans”):

 

·                 A delayed draw incremental term loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0, repayable in full on the date that is 18 months after the date of its funding; and

 

·                 A delayed draw incremental term loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0, repayable in quarterly installments (with annual repayments, as a percentage of the initial principal amount, of 0% for 2011 and 2012, 5% for 2013, 15% for 2014 and 20% for 2015, together with a single quarterly payment of 5% at the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2016), with the remaining balance repayable in full on June 30, 2016.

 

We intend to use the proceeds of the Term Loans to finance the Clyde Union acquisition and also may repay debt outstanding

at the time of funding.

 

We may borrow against the Term Loans in a single drawing on or before December 31, 2011.  If we do not consummate the Clyde Union acquisition substantially contemporaneously with such borrowing, we are required to maintain the proceeds of the Term Loans in a cash collateral account with the administrative agent until used for the Clyde Union acquisition.  The ability to draw on the Term Loans is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. We are required to repay the Term Loans in full if we do not consummate the Clyde Union acquisition.

 

The interest rates applicable to the Term Loans are calculated in a manner consistent with our existing senior credit facilities. The interest rate margins applicable to LIBOR and alternate base rate Term Loans are (all on a per annum basis) as follows:

 

Consolidated Leverage Ratio

 

LIBOR Rate Loans

 

ABR Loans

 

Greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.0

We will pay an upfront fee in an amount equal to an approximate average of 0.5% of the commitment of each lender providing a portion of the Term Loans.  In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.275% per annum of the daily unused amount of the commitment of the Term Loans, which will accrue from October 5, 2011 through the date on which Term Loan amounts are borrowed (or the commitment is terminated).

 

Except as noted below, the Term Loans require mandatory prepayments in circumstances consistent with the existing credit facilities. Mandatory prepayments will be applied, first, to repay any amounts outstanding under the Term Loans and any other incremental term loans that we may have outstanding in the future, in the manner and order selected by us, and after the Term Loans and any such incremental term loans have been repaid in full, and second, to repay amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). As with the existing credit facilities, no prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days of the receipt of such proceeds.  In addition, upon the incurrence of unsecured indebtedness in the form of a private or public note or bond issuance, the net proceeds of such indebtedness will be applied to the extent necessary to repay in full any amounts outstanding under the $300.0 term loan.

 

Consistent with the existing senior credit facilities, we may voluntarily prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any prepayment of the Term Loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

 

The Term Loans are guaranteed, secured, and subject to representations, warranties, covenants and events of default in a manner consistent with the existing senior credit facilities.

 

The existing credit facilities include a foreign trade facility and bilateral foreign trade facilities, each available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $1,100.0 and $100.0, respectively.  As part of our modification of the existing senior credit facilities, we obtained a $100.0 commitment for an additional bilateral foreign trade facility, thereby increasing the total bilateral trade facilities to an aggregate principal amount in

 

45



 

various currencies up to the equivalent of $200.0.  Effective upon this increase in the bilateral foreign trade facilities, we reduced our foreign credit commitments on a pro rata basis under the foreign trade facility by an aggregate amount of $100.0, thereby reducing the foreign trade facilities to an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $1,000.0.

 

Financial Instruments

 

We measure our financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, at fair value. Fair value is 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. We utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) or significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

Our financial derivative assets and liabilities include FX forward contracts, FX embedded derivatives and forward contracts that manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials (“commodity contracts”) that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments to be active.

 

As of October 1, 2011, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk as the related instruments are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risk.

 

We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are further discussed below.

 

Interest Rate Swaps

 

Prior to the August 2010 repayment of our variable rate term loan, we maintained Swaps to hedge the associated interest rate risk. These Swaps, which we designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, effectively converted the majority of the borrowings under our variable rate term loan to a fixed rate of 4.795% plus the applicable margin. In connection with the repayment of our term loan, we terminated all our Swaps resulting in a cash payment of $26.9 (including $2.6 of accrued interest) and a charge to earnings of $24.3 during the three months ended October 2, 2010.

 

Currency Forward Contracts

 

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of any currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, Chinese Yuan, South African Rand and British Pound.

 

From time to time, we enter into FX forward contracts to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. In addition, some of our contracts contain FX embedded derivatives, as the currency of exchange is not “clearly and closely” related to the functional currency of either party to the transaction. Certain of our FX forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as deemed appropriate. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives’ fair value are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). These changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings as a component of revenues or cost of products sold, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. In addition, if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable the cumulative change in the derivatives’ fair value will be recorded as a component of “Other expense, net” in the period it occurs. To the extent that a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period it occurs. We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $844.5 and $199.5 outstanding as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $107.9 and $200.9 at October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The unrealized loss, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts was $3.6 and $4.1 as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying approximately $1.8 of the unrealized loss to income over the next 12 months. The net loss recorded in “Other expense, net” related to FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives totaled $31.4 and $32.8 for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively, and $1.4 and $20.5 for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively.

Commodity Contracts

 

From time to time, we enter into commodity contracts. At October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding notional amount of commodity contracts was 2.3 million and 1.8 million pounds of copper, respectively. We designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges and, to the extent these commodity contracts are effective in offsetting the variability of the forecasted purchases, the change in fair value is included in AOCI. We reclassify the AOCI associated with our commodity contracts to cost of products sold when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair values of these contracts were $2.2 (current liability) and $1.0 (current asset), respectively. The unrealized gain (loss), net of taxes, recorded in AOCI was ($1.2) and $0.8 as of October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized loss to income over the next 12 months. The amount of gain/loss recognized during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 related to the ineffectiveness of the hedges was not material.

 

Investments in Equity Securities and Available-for-Sale Securities

 

Our available-for-sale securities include equity investments that are traded in active international markets. They are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. At October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of these investments was $5.1 and $12.8, respectively, recorded as a noncurrent asset.

 

We elected to account for certain other investments in equity securities that are not readily marketable under the fair value option. At October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these assets had a fair value of $7.2 and $8.5, respectively, which was estimated using valuation models, including the Monte-Carlo simulation model.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of our investment in equity securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, including net unrealized losses included in earnings.

Other Fair Value Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

The carrying amount of cash and equivalents and receivables reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

The fair value of our debt instruments, based on borrowing rates available to us at October 1, 2011 for similar debt, was $1,246.4 at October 1, 2011, compared to our carrying value of $1,201.6.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, foreign currency forward and commodity contracts. These financial instruments, other than trade accounts receivable, are placed with high-quality financial institutions throughout the world. We periodically evaluate the credit standing of these financial institutions.

 

We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the above financial instruments, but have no other off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. We anticipate, however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their

 

47



 

obligations under the contracts. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but we do monitor the credit standing of counterparties.

 

Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to a large number of customers in a particular industry. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions and obtain collateral or other security when appropriate. No one customer, or group of customers that to our knowledge are under common control, accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for any period presented.

 

Other Matters

 

Contractual Obligations — There were no significant changes in the amounts of our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our total net liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits including interest were $71.0 as of October 1, 2011. We believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that we could pay approximately $35.0 to $45.0 relating to uncertain tax positions, which includes an estimate for interest and penalties.

 

Contingencies and Other Matters — Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property and competitive claims), environmental matters, and risk management matters (e.g., product and general liability, automobile, and workers’ compensation claims), have been filed or are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries.  We accrue for these contingencies when we believe a liability is probable and can be reasonably estimated. As events change and resolution occurs, these accruals may be adjusted and could differ materially from amounts originally estimated. See Notes 13 and 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of contingencies and other matters.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law for any personal liability in connection with their employment or service with us. While we maintain insurance for this type of liability, the liability could exceed the amount of the insurance coverage.

 

In addition, you should read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Other Matters” and “Risk Factors” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as similar sections in any future filings for an understanding of the risks, uncertainties, and trends facing our businesses.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties are discussed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have effected no material change in either our critical accounting policies or use of estimates since the filing of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements in this document and any documents incorporated by reference, including any statements as to future results of operations and financial projections, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our businesses or our industries’ actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects, changes and trends in our business and the markets in which we operate under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. Particular risks facing us include economic, business and other risks stemming from our international operations, legal and regulatory risks, costs of raw materials, pricing pressures, pension funding requirements, integration of acquisitions and changes in the economy.  These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially because of market conditions in our industries or other factors. All the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in any subsequent filing with the SEC, as well as any documents incorporated by reference that describe risks and factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

 

48



 

We caution you that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment and frequently enter into new businesses and product lines. We cannot predict these new risk factors, and we cannot assess the impact, if any, of these new risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, our estimates of future operating results are based on our current complement of businesses, which is subject to change as management selects strategic markets.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Management does not believe our exposure to market risk has significantly changed since December 31, 2010 and does not believe that such risks will result in significant adverse impacts to our financial condition or results of operations.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

SPX management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of October 1, 2011. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 1, 2011.

 

In connection with the evaluation by SPX management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of our internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), no changes during the quarter ended October 1, 2011 were identified that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

3.5.3           Subject to Clause 3.6, if the Completion Net Debt is less than the Net Debt Projection then any consequential shortfall in the Consideration paid on the Completion Date (which shortfall shall not exceed the difference between the Net Debt Projection and the Completion Net Debt) shall be paid to the Sellers by the Purchaser no later than seven Business Days after the Completion Date by electronic transfer to the Sellers’ Solicitors Bank Account for the account of the Sellers (the Sellers’ Solicitors being irrevocably authorised to receive the same on behalf of the Sellers) and payment to them will be a good and sufficient discharge to the Purchaser and the Purchaser will not be further concerned as to the application of the moneys so paid.

15



 

Days after the Completion Date by electronic transfer to the Purchaser’s Solicitors Bank Account for the account of the Purchaser (the Purchaser’s Solicitors being irrevocably authorised to receive the same on behalf of the Purchaser).

The Purchaser may, not later than ten Business Days after Completion, notify the Sellers in writing that it disagrees with the factual accuracy of the Net Debt Calculation and the Completion Net Debt as notified to the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 3.5.1 above.  Any such notification shall specify any areas of disagreement and any adjustments which are required in the opinion of the Purchaser to be made to the Net Debt Calculation and the Completion Net Debt.  If the Purchaser makes a notification pursuant to this Clause 3 then the provisions of Schedule 13 (Expert) shall apply and the provisions of Clauses 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 shall not apply.

8.7                              Section 338(g) Election

 

The Sellers shall not object to the Purchaser or the Group Companies making up to or after Completion an election under Code Section 338(g) (and any corresponding elections under any applicable state, local or foreign laws, to the extent available) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares.

 

Code means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to any specific provision of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder shall also refer to any successor provisions thereto.

 

8.8                              The Purchaser undertakes to the Sellers that they shall procure that there is continued to be provided to Textron Inc. quarterly reports in relation to asbestos claims concerning the Group Companies as required by section 6.1(h)(iii) of the purchase agreement dated 10 September 2008 between inter alia Textron Inc., Clyde Blowers Capital Fund II LP and others (the “Textron Agreement”).

 

9.                                    CHANGE OF NAME

 

9.1                              For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall not object to the Purchaser using from and after the Completion Date the name “Clyde Union” as part of the names of any member of the Purchaser’s Group and in the business dealings of any member of the Purchaser’s Group and each of the Sellers acknowledge that none of them has any right to trade using or hold out that they still own or have

 

23



 

rights to trade using the name “Clyde Union” from and after the Completion Date save that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Sellers from referring to their former ownership of the Group or parts thereof.

 

9.2                              Prior to Completion, the Sellers shall:

 

9.2.1                               cause the name of any Subsidiary having such name to be changed to a name which does not include the words “David Brown” or any similar words; and

 

9.2.2                               deliver to the Purchaser a certified copy of the resolution effecting such change of name as soon as such resolution has been passed.

 

9.3                              The Purchaser may state as a sub-text under the name of Clyde Union DB Limited wherever it is used that Clyde Union DB Limited is “formerly David Brown Engineering Limited”.  Only this wording shall be used and it may only be used for the Business Purposes. Any such sub-text shall be in a font smaller than the font of the name “Clyde Union DB Limited”.

 

For the purpose of this Clause 9.3 “Business Purposes” means for use in the ordinary course of the business of Clyde Union DB Limited as carried on immediately prior to the Completion Date.

 

10.                              PENSIONS

 

The provisions of Schedule 7 (The Pension Provisions) shall apply.

 

11.                              RELEASE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

11.1                        If any obligations of any third party (including a member of the Bank Club) under any Letters of Credit or Foreign Exchange Contracts are not terminated or released as at Completion the Purchaser shall either:

 

11.1.1                         pay or procure to be paid all indebtedness or other obligations covered by such Letter of Credit in a manner which results in such third party (including a member of the Bank Club), as applicable, being released from their whole obligations under or pursuant to such Letter of Credit; or

 

11.1.2                         obtain and deliver to the Sellers and the Bank Club (if relevant) at Completion a letter of credit issued by a financial institution (approved by the third party (including any member of the Bank Club) acting reasonably) in favour of the third party (including any member of the Bank Club) with respect to the obligations of the Group under or in respect of each such Letter of Credit or Foreign Exchange Contract;

 

and the Sellers shall provide such assistance as the Purchaser may reasonably require to enable the Purchaser to perform its obligations under Clauses 11.1.1 and 11.1.2 above provided that the Purchaser shall meet the Sellers’ reasonable external costs in relation to such assistance up to a maximum of £20,000 (excluding VAT) without the approval of the Purchaser and such higher amount with the Purchaser’s approval.

 

12.                              CONFIDENTIALITY

 

12.1                        The parties shall for a period of five years after the Signing Date preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, not directly or indirectly reveal, report, publish, disclose, transfer or use such Confidential Information for its own or any other purpose and if for any reason Completion shall not take place in accordance with this Agreement, all documents supplied containing such Confidential Information will be returned to the Sellers, no copies will be retained by the Purchaser and the Purchaser will, subject to Clause 12.2, continue to treat all such information as strictly private and confidential.

 

24



 

12.2                        Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any party may after prior consultation with the other parties whenever practicable, disclose Confidential Information if and to the extent:

 

12.2.1                         required by law; or

 

12.2.2                         required by any securities exchange on which any party’s securities are listed or traded; or

 

12.2.3                         required by any regulatory or governmental or other authority with relevant powers to which any party is subject or submits (whether or not the authority has the force of law); or

 

12.2.4                         required to enable that party to enforce its rights under this Agreement by judicial process; or

 

12.2.5                         required by its professional advisers, officers, employees, consultants, sub-contractors or agents to provide their services (and subject always to similar duties of confidentiality); or

 

12.2.6                         that information is in or has come into the public domain through no fault of that party; or

 

12.2.7                         the other parties have given prior written consent to the disclosure; or

 

12.2.8                         it is necessary to obtain any relevant tax clearances from any appropriate tax authority.

 

13.                              ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

The Sellers and the Purchaser authorise the issue of such press releases and other announcements and communications as the issuing party deems necessary to fulfil legal, governmental, regulatory or other authority or any securities exchange on which its securities are listed or traded requirements or to provide its investors or other stakeholders with an appropriate level of information.  Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser agree to make reasonable efforts to notify the other parties sufficiently in advance of any public communication to permit the other parties to comment on such disclosure.  To the extent that any information is contained in an announcement or communication agreed pursuant to this Clause 13, the Parties (and any of their advisers) shall be entitled to use it in future communications without any further agreement being required.

 

14.                              FURTHER ASSURANCE

 

Without prejudice to any restriction or limitation on the extent of any party’s obligations under this Agreement, each party shall from time to time, upon the request and at the expense of the another party, use all reasonable endeavours to execute or procure the execution of any additional documents or do or procure any other acts or things which may be required to give full effect to this Agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the parties concerned.

 

15.                              TIME OF THE ESSENCE

 

Time is of the essence both as regards any time, date or period specified in this Agreement and as regards any time, date or period which may be substituted for them in accordance with this Agreement or by agreement in writing between the Sellers and the Purchaser.

 

16.                              NOTICES

 

16.1                        Any notice or other communication to be given in connection with this Agreement (“notice”) shall be in writing.  The Sellers hereby appoint Clyde as their representative who may authorise the making of any consent, approval or request expressed to be made on behalf of the Sellers to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and such Sellers’ representative can be changed from time to time provided such change is notified to the Purchaser in writing prior to the change taking effect.  Any notice served on Clyde will be treated as validly given to all of the Sellers.

 

25



 

16.2                        The Management hereby appoints Allan Dowie as its representative who may authorise the making of any consent, approval or request expressed to be made on behalf of the Management to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and such Management representative can be changed from time to time provided such change is notified to the Purchaser in writing prior to the change taking effect.  Any notice served on Allan Dowie will be treated as validly given to all of the Management.

16.5                        A notice sent according to Clause 16.4 shall be deemed to have been served:

 

16.5.1                         if delivered personally at the address referred to in Clause 16.4, at the time of delivery;

 

16.5.2                         if sent by first class recorded post to the address referred to in Clause 16.4, at the expiration of two clear days after the time of posting in the case of inland post, and five clear days after the time of posting in the case of international post; or

 

27



 

16.5.3                         if sent by fax to the number referred to in Clause 16.4, at the time of completion of transmission by the sender.

 

If, under the preceding provisions of this Clause 16.5, a notice would otherwise be deemed to have been delivered in the place of receipt outside normal business hours (being 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. in the time zone of the territory of the recipient), it shall be deemed to have been received at 9:00am on the next opening of such business hours in the territory of the recipient.

 

16.6                        In proving receipt of the notice, it shall be sufficient to show:

 

16.6.1                         that personal delivery was made;

 

16.6.2                         that the envelope containing the notice was properly addressed and posted as a first class pre-paid recorded letter; or

 

16.6.3                         that the fax was despatched and a confirmatory transmission report received.

 

16.7                        A party shall notify the other parties to this Agreement of a change to its name, address, fax number or the relevant Person to whom notices should be sent for the purposes of Clause 16.4, provided that such notification shall only be effective:

 

16.7.1                         on the date specified in the notification as the date on which the change is to take place; or

 

16.7.2                         if no date is specified (or if the date specified is less than five clear Business Days after the date on which notice is deemed to have been served), five clear Business Days after notice of any such change is deemed to have been given.

 

16.8                        For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the provisions of this Clause 16 shall not apply in relation to the service of any claim form, application notice, order, judgment or other document relating to or in connection with any proceeding, suit or action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

 

17.                              ASSIGNMENT

 

17.1                        Subject to Clauses 17.2, 2.1.2 and 2.2 no party may:

17.1.2                         transfer any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

 

17.1.3                         sub-contract or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

 

17.1.4                         charge any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

 

17.2                        except with the prior consent in writing of the other parties, or as set out below, any purported assignment, transfer, sub-contracting, delegation or charging in contravention of this Clause 17 shall be ineffective but the Purchaser may:

 

17.2.1                         subject to Clause 17.3, assign (in whole or in part) the benefit of this Agreement to any other member of the Purchaser’s Group provided that (a) the burden is also so assigned (or novated) in the agreed form and the Purchaser guarantees to the Sellers the assignee’s obligations in the agreed form and (b) if such assignee ceases to be a member of the Purchaser’s Group, the Purchaser will procure that all the benefits and burdens relating to this Agreement that have been assigned to such assignee are re-assigned to the Purchaser immediately before such cessation; and/or

 

17.2.2                         assign (in whole or in part) the benefit of this Agreement to any bank or financial institution by way of security for the purposes of or in connection with the financing or refinancing (whether in whole or in part) by the Purchaser of the acquisition of the Shares;

 

28



 

Provided that nothing in this Clause 17 shall increase the liability of any of the Sellers or the Management under this Agreement following such assignation.

 

17.3                        The Sellers and the Management agree to execute or procure the execution of any agreed form assignment (or novation) of the burden in relation to the assignment of the Purchaser to any other member of the Purchaser’s Group in accordance with Clause 17.2.1 subject to the provision of a guarantee by the Purchaser, in the agreed form, of the obligations of the assignee.

 

18.                              COSTS

 

The parties shall each pay their own costs, charges and expenses in relation to the negotiation, preparation, execution, implementation and performance of this Agreement and each document referred to in it and other agreements forming part of the transaction, except that this Clause shall not prejudice the right of any party to seek to recover its costs in any litigation or dispute resolution procedure which may arise out of this Agreement.  No Group Company will bear any part of the Sellers’ or the Management’s costs, charges and expenses.

 

19.                              ENTIRE AGREEMENT

 

19.1                        This Agreement and the documents referred to or incorporated in it constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede and extinguish any prior drafts, agreements, undertakings, representations, warranties and arrangements of any nature whatsoever, whether or not in writing, between the parties in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement.

 

19.2                        Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that it has not entered into this Agreement in reliance on any statement or representation of any Person (whether a party to this Agreement or not) other than as expressly incorporated in this Agreement.

 

19.3                       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right or remedy it may have to claim damages and/or to rescind this Agreement by reason of any misrepresentation (other than a fraudulent misrepresentation) having been made to it by any Person (whether party to this Agreement or not) and upon which it has relied in entering into this Agreement.

 

19.4                        Except in the event of fraud, the Purchaser shall have no right to rescind this Agreement in respect of any breach of Warranty or of any other provisions of this Agreement and its sole remedy in respect of such breach shall be damages for breach of contract under English law.

 

19.5                        Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other document referred to or incorporated in it shall be read or construed as excluding any liability or remedy as a result of fraud.

 

19.6                        Unless otherwise provided, any outstanding obligation contained in this Agreement will remain in force notwithstanding Completion.

 

20.                              VARIATION

21.                              SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS

 

Notwithstanding Completion, the provisions of this Agreement (and in particular, the Warranties) shall, to the extent that they remain to be performed or are capable of subsisting, remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on, and enforceable by, the parties or their respective successors or assigns.

 

29



 

22.                              INVALIDITY

 

22.1                        If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any judicial or other competent authority, all other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not in any way be impaired.

 

22.2                        If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable but would be valid or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted, or the period of the obligation reduced in time, or the range of activities or area covered, reduced in scope, the provision in question will apply with the minimum modifications necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

 

23.                              WAIVERS

 

23.1                        A waiver of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by this Agreement must be in writing and may be given subject to any conditions thought fit by the grantor. For the avoidance of doubt, any omission to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

 

23.2                        A waiver of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default by the other party and shall not constitute a continuing waiver of the right, power, privilege or remedy waived or a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

 

23.3                        Any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy arising under this Agreement shall not preclude or impair any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

 

24.                              NO SET OFF

 

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have no rights of set off whatsoever in respect of any sums or otherwise due to the Sellers, whether on Completion or at any time thereafter and the Purchaser and the Sellers shall pay all sums due to the Sellers or the Purchaser, respectively pursuant to this Agreement in full free from any deduction or withholding whatsoever except as may be required by law but excluding any withholding arrangements in relation to the payments to the Beneficial Owners.

 

25.                              COUNTERPARTS

 

This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts and by the parties on separate counterparts, but shall not be effective until each party has executed and delivered at least one counterpart.  Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall constitute an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

26.                              GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

 

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.  The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement in respect of any claim (including any non-contractual claim) brought against the Sellers and shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any claim (including any non-contractual claim) brought by the Sellers.

SCHEDULE 15

 

SECTION 1
EARN OUT

 

1.                                      Definitions

 

In this Schedule the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them-

 

“Annual 2012 Group EBITDA” means the net income of the Group (before deduction of dividends and distributions to the extent expensed in the financial statements of the Group) for the Relevant Year ending 31 December 2012 determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with (1) the principles set out in paragraphs (a) to (c) and (i) to (xii) below (2) to the extent not inconsistent with paragraph (1) above the accounting principles, policies and procedures used in the preparation of the Financial Statements (as defined in Schedule 5) consistently applied and (3) to the extent not inconsistent with (1) and (2), IFRS in force as at 31 December 2012 consistently applied, plus the sum of the following (to the extent deducted from net income for such period): (a) any Tax expense (including deferred tax expense) based on income; (b) depreciation, amortisation or impairment of fixed asset expense (including goodwill and intangible assets) and revaluation of assets and (c) interest expense (including but not limited to bank interest and finance lease interest) and similar charges (including any charge, expense or provision for financing fees, amortisation of debt issuance costs or fees or charges for bonding, bank guarantees or letters of credit). In calculating Annual 2012 Group EBITDA:

 

(i)                          the Group shall be accounted for as a separate and independent accounting entity, and unconsolidated with the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates outside of the Group (“non-Group Entities”);

 

(ii)                       sharing or allocation of overhead with or from any non-Group Entities shall be excluded, and any expenses on the Purchaser’s corporate books that have typically not been recorded on the Group’s books shall be excluded, save to the extent that such costs replace existing costs of the Group;

 

(iii)                    all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated herein (including any costs of integration or restructuring) shall be excluded;

 

(iv)                   to the extent ay Annual 2012 Group EBITDA is attributable to acquisitions and joint ventures completed after Completion this shall be excluded;

 

(v)                      all transfer pricing from or to non-Group Entities shall be on an arm’s length basis;

 

(vi)                   costs and expenses of Segment Management personnel (being all management senior to the Management) shall be excluded;

 

(vii)                any extraordinary or exceptional items shall be excluded;

 

(viii)             the calculation of Annual 2012 Group EBITDA shall be adjusted to exclude the impact of the operation of the Group during 2012 other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.  The parties agree to use their reasonable good faith efforts to determine the amount of any such adjustment;

 

(ix)                 there shall be excluded from such calculation any benefit of any synergies which can be demonstrably gained by the Group in connection with the operation of the business of the Group by virtue of the Group being part of the Purchaser’s Group following Completion (compared with being part of the Seller’s Group prior to Completion) which

 



 

benefit would not otherwise be available to the Group, provided that in each Quarterly Report (as hereinafter defined) there shall be identified the nature and amount of such synergy in the relevant month provided that such amounts shall only be included in the Annual 2012 Group EBITDA (and the Draft Second Earn Out Statement) if the amount of such synergy has been agreed by Clyde acting reasonably or has been determined by the Independent Accountant;

 

(x)                        to the extent that the Purchaser increases its percentage holding in any joint venture vehicle of the Group following Completion the amount of such increase (and the Group’s corresponding increased percentage share of the Annual 2012 Group EBITDA attributable to such joint venture vehicle) shall be ignored in the calculation, but not, for the avoidance of doubt the share of the Annual 2012 Group EBITDA attributable to the Group’s percentage share of the joint venture vehicle to the extent funded as at Completion;

 

(xi)                     any unrealised foreign exchange gains and foreign exchange losses shall be excluded; and

 

(xii)                  if the Purchaser is in breach of the provisions set out in this Schedule and the Sellers have not consented in writing to such breach then the Draft Second Earn Out Statement and the Annual 2012 Group EBITDA shall be adjusted as if the breach had not occurred for the purpose of determining the Second Earn Out Payment.

(vi)                   costs and expenses of Segment Management personnel (being all management senior to the Management) shall be excluded;

(ix)                 to the extent that the Purchaser increases its percentage holding in any joint venture vehicle of the Group following Completion the amount of such increase (and the Group’s corresponding increased percentage share of the LTM March 2012 Group EBITDA attributable to such joint venture vehicle) shall be ignored in the calculation, but not, for the avoidance of doubt the share of the LTM March 2012 Group EBITDA attributable to the Group’s percentage share of the joint venture vehicle to the extent funded as at Completion;

 

(x)                        any unrealised foreign exchange gains and foreign exchange losses shall be excluded;

(xii)                  any costs, expenses or charges in relation to acquisition accounting as set out in IFRS 3 (Revised) shall be excluded;

 

(xiii)               if the total cost of remuneration (including bonuses) payable to employees of the Group is more than that which would have been payable if the Group had applied those remuneration and bonus arrangements or policies in place immediately prior to Completion, then an amount equal to the difference shall be added;

 

(xiv)              any costs or charges incurred related to the financing or settlement of any pension deficit initiated or caused by the Purchaser shall be excluded;

 

(xv)                 any losses arising or costs associated with closing out foreign exchange contracts shall be excluded; and

 

(xvi)              there shall be excluded from such calculation any benefit of any synergies which can be demonstrably gained by the Group in connection with the operation of the business of the Group by virtue of the Group being part of the Purchaser’s Group following Completion (compared with being part of the Seller’s Group prior to Completion) which benefit would not otherwise be available to the Group, provided that in each Quarterly Report (as hereinafter defined) there shall be identified the nature and amount of such synergy in the relevant month provided that such amounts shall only be included in the LTM March 2012 Group EBITDA (and the Draft First Earn Out Statement) if the amount of such synergy has been agreed by Clyde acting reasonably or has been determined by the Independent Accountant;

2.1                                Delivery of Draft Earn Out Statements.

 

2.1.1                                 Within 45 days after 31 March 2012, the Purchaser shall procure to be prepared and delivered to the Sellers’ representative (as appointed from time to time in accordance with Clause 16.1)  a calculation of the LTM March 2012 Group EBITDA along with a calculation of the First Earn Out Payment (the “Draft First Earn Out Statement”).  The Draft First Earn Out Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  The Sellers will have 25 Business Days after receipt of the Draft First Earn Out Statement, to notify the Purchaser in writing that they dispute the calculation of the LTM March 2012 Group EBITDA or the calculation of the First Earn Out Payment, and such notice (the “First Statement Dispute Notice”) shall set forth in reasonable detail any objections to the Draft First Earn Out Statement and the calculation of the respective First Earn Out Payment, if any.  If the Sellers do not serve the First Statement Dispute Notice within such 25 Business Day period, the Draft First Earn Out Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on the Sellers and the Purchaser.

 

2.1.2                                 Within 75 days after 31 December 2012, the Purchaser shall procure to be prepared and delivered to the Sellers’ representative (as appointed from time to time in accordance with Clause 16.1) a calculation of the Annual 2012 Group EBITDA along with a calculation of the Second Earn Out Payment (the “Draft Second Earn Out Statement”).  The Draft Second Earn Out Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  The Sellers will have 60 Business Days after receipt of the Draft Second Earn Out Statement, to notify the Purchaser in writing that they dispute the calculation of the LTM March 2012 Group EBITDA or the calculation of the Second Earn Out Payment, and such notice (the “Second Statement Dispute Notice”) shall set forth in reasonable detail any objections to the Draft Second Earn Out Statement and the calculation of the respective Second Earn Out Payment, if any.  If the Sellers do not serve the Second Statement Dispute Notice within such 60 Business Day period, the Draft Second Earn Out Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on the Sellers and the Purchaser.

 

2.2                                The Sellers may dispute the Draft First Earn Out Statement and the Draft Second Earn Out Statement only on the grounds that it has not been prepared in accordance with the basis, methods, procedures, assumptions and adjustments set forth in this Agreement.   In the event of such a dispute, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall in good faith attempt to resolve any such dispute, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Sellers and the Purchaser for all purposes.  If the Sellers and the Purchaser are unable to resolve any such dispute within 30 Business Days after the First Statement Dispute Notice or the Second Statement Dispute Notice, as applicable, has been given by the Sellers to the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to an internationally recognised independent public accounting firm that currently does not audit and has not audited within the past two years the Sellers or the Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, as shall be agreed upon by the Sellers and the Purchaser (the “Independent Accountant”). If an agreement cannot be reached within 10 Business Days of the expiration of the 30 Business Day period set forth in the preceding sentence, the Independent Accountant shall be selected by the London Court of International Arbitration upon the request of either the Sellers or the Purchaser.  Promptly, but no later than 20 Business Days after the dispute is submitted to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant shall determine, based solely on presentations by the Sellers and the Purchaser, and not by independent review, only those issues remaining in dispute and shall render a report as to the dispute and the resulting computation of the LTM March 2012 Group EBITDA and the First Earn Out Payment, or the Annual 2012 Group

 



 

EBITDA and the Second Earn Out Payment, as applicable, which shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Sellers and the Purchaser.

 

2.3                                The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant: (a) shall be borne by the Sellers in the proportion that the aggregate pounds sterling amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the aggregate pounds sterling amount of such items so submitted; and (b) shall be borne by the Purchaser in the proportion that the aggregate pounds sterling amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Purchaser (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the aggregate pounds sterling amount of such items so submitted.

 

2.4                                The Purchaser shall provide the Sellers and the Independent Accountant with reasonable access to all relevant books, records and workpapers and Purchaser’s Group (as the successor entity to any Group Company) employees and management necessary for reviewing and verifying either the Draft First Earn Out Statement or the Draft Second Earn Out Statement as the case may be and the calculation of the applicable Earn Out Payment, including the workpapers of the Purchaser’s Group’s (as the successor entity to any Group Company) auditor.  In the event of a dispute in accordance with paragraph 2, the Sellers will provide the Purchaser with their workpapers generated in connection with their review of the Draft Earn Out Statement in dispute and the calculation of the applicable Earn Out Payment.

1.6           in respect of the LTM 2012 Group EBITDA any actions-

 

1.6.1           that would, directly or indirectly, defer or have the effect of deferring the recognition of any revenues of any Group Company for the Relevant Period (save as consistent with past practice of the Group); or

 

1.6.2           that would, directly or indirectly, accelerate or have the effect of accelerating expenses of any Group Company into the Relevant Period (save as consistent with past practice of the Group), including through increasing the provision of salary or benefits to any employee;

 

1.7           in respect of the Annual 2012 Group EBITDA any actions-

 

1.7.1           that would, directly or indirectly, defer or have the effect of deferring the recognition of any revenues of any Group Company for the Relevant Year to any subsequent financial year (save as consistent with past practice of the Group), including through influencing customers or timing the delivery or receipt of products or services or that would, directly or indirectly, pull forward or have the effect of pulling forward the recognition of any revenues of any Group Company to an earlier financial year; or

2.3           ensure that all transactions between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Group Companies, on the other hand, shall be at cost or shall be adjusted to be upon fair and reasonable terms no less favourable to either party than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unaffiliated third person;

 

2.4           maintain business interruption and casualty insurance with respect to the Group in accordance with the Purchaser’s standard practice, and apply any proceeds of such insurance relating to rebuilding;
