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 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 which party has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We have interests in VIEs, primarily joint ventures, in which we are the primary beneficiary and others in which we are not. Our VIEs are considered immaterial, individually and in aggregate, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On May 14, 2015, we amended our Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the par value of all shares of common stock from $10.00 to $0.01 per share. Our common stock and paid-in capital accounts, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, reflect the change in par value.

 

On October 29, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors had unanimously approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of our Flow Technology reportable segment, our Hydraulic Technologies business (a business currently reported within Industrial Products and Services and Other), and certain of our corporate subsidiaries. The spin-off would create a new stand-alone, publicly-traded company focused on providing highly engineered technologies and services to customers in the global food and beverage, power and energy, and industrial markets. We expect that the transaction will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2015.

 

On January 7, 2014, we completed the sale of our 44.5% interest in the EGS Electrical Group, LLC and Subsidiaries (“EGS”) joint venture to Emerson Electric Co. for cash proceeds of $574.1. As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of $491.2 to “Other income, net” during the first quarter of 2014.

 

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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year results. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts, including (i) the results of discontinued operations and (ii) our common stock and paid-in capital accounts as discussed above, to conform to the current year presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations only. 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 first calendar 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 2015 are March 28, June 27 and September 26, compared to the respective March 29, June 28 and September 27, 2014 dates. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2015 and will have one more day in the fourth quarter of 2015 than in the respective 2014 periods.

 

(2)                                 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

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

 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to guidance to change the criteria for determining which disposals of components of an entity can be presented as discontinued operations and to modify

 

5



 

related disclosure requirements. Under the amended guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendment states that a “strategic shift” could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. The standard no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations, or there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and shall be applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date.  We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2015, with no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as there were no disposal activities in the first half of 2015.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new standard contains a five-step approach that entities will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized, including (i) identifying the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The new standard requires a number of disclosures intended to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue, and the related cash flows. The disclosures include qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers, significant judgments made in applying the revenue guidance, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the effect that this new standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued a new standard that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and shall be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance that, among other changes, permits an entity that has a significant event in an interim period that requires a remeasurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations to remeasure such assets and obligations using the month-end date that is closest to the date of the significant event, rather than the date of the plan event. Under the amended guidance, the month-end remeasurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations that is closest to the date of the significant event should be adjusted to reflect any effects of the significant event, to the extent those effects are not captured in the month-end measurement. An entity is required to disclose its accounting policy election and the dates used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations in accordance with the provisions of this amended guidance. Although earlier application is permitted, the amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and shall be applied prospectively. The impact of the adoption of this amendment on our condensed consolidated financial statements, if elected, will be based on any future significant events of our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans.

 

(3)                              DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

As indicated in Note 2, there were no disposal activities in the first half of 2015. Prior to January 1, 2015, we reported businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when, among other things, we terminated the operations of the business or asset group, committed to a plan to divest the business or asset group or actively began marketing the business or asset group, and the sale of the business or asset group was deemed probable within the next twelve months.

 

During the second quarter of 2014, we sold our SPX Precision Components (“Precision Components”) business for cash consideration of $63.0, resulting in a loss, net of tax, of $7.3.

 

During the first quarter of 2014, we sold our Thermal Products Solutions (“TPS”) business for cash consideration of $38.5 and a promissory note of $4.0, resulting in a gain, net of tax, during the quarter of $21.5. The promissory note was paid in full during the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

6



 

In addition to the Precision Components and TPS businesses, we recognized net losses of $0.5 and $0.9 during the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, respectively, and net gains of $1.2 and $0.7 during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on dispositions of businesses discontinued prior to 2014.

 

For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, income (loss) from discontinued operations and the related income taxes are shown below:

(4)                                 INFORMATION ON REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND OTHER OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

We are a global supplier of highly specialized, engineered solutions with operations in over 35 countries and sales in over 150 countries around the world.  Many of our products and solutions play a role in helping to meet rising global demand for processed foods and beverages and power and energy, particularly in emerging markets. Our key products include processing systems and equipment for the food and beverage industry, reciprocating pumps used in oil and gas processing, power transformers used by utility companies, and cooling systems for power plants.

 

We aggregate certain of our operating segments into our two reportable segments, Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services, while our remaining operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (the “Codification”), have been combined within our “All Other” category, which we refer to as Industrial Products and Services and Other. The operating segments in this “All Other” category generally serve industrial end-markets. Industrial Products and Services and Other is not considered a reportable segment.

 

The factors considered in determining our aggregated segments are the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold or services provided, production processes, types of customers and distribution methods. In determining our segments, we apply the threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the Codification to operating income or loss of each segment before considering impairment and special charges, pension and postretirement expense/income, stock-based compensation and other indirect corporate expenses. This is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment.

 

Flow Technology Reportable Segment

 

Our Flow Technology reportable segment engineers, designs, manufactures and markets products and solutions used to process, blend, filter, dry, meter and transport fluids with a focus on original equipment installation, including turnkey systems, skidded systems and components, as well as comprehensive aftermarket components and support services. Primary component offerings include engineered pumps, valves, mixers, plate heat exchangers, and dehydration and filtration technologies. The segment primarily serves customers in food and beverage, power and energy and industrial end markets. The segment continues to focus on innovation and new product development, optimizing its global footprint while taking advantage of cross-product integration opportunities and increasing its competitive position in global end markets. Flow Technology’s solutions focus on key business drivers, such as product flexibility, process optimization, sustainability and safety.

Flow Technology Reportable Segment — Charges for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 related primarily to severance and other costs associated with restructuring initiatives at various locations in Europe and South America. These actions were taken primarily to reduce the cost base of Clyde Union and other businesses within the segment. The actions at Clyde Union were taken primarily to reduce the cost base of the business in response to the significant decline in oil prices that began in the latter half of 2014 and has continued into 2015, which has resulted in a reduction in capital spending on original equipment by our customers in the oil and gas industries. Charges for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 related primarily to severance and other costs associated with restructuring initiatives at various Flow Technology locations in Europe and the U.S. These actions were taken primarily to reduce the cost base of Clyde Union as we continued to integrate the business into our Flow Technology reportable segment.

 

Thermal Equipment and Services Reportable Segment — Charges for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 related primarily to severance and other costs associated with (i) facility consolidation efforts in Asia Pacific and (ii) the continuation of restructuring actions at our Balcke Duerr and dry cooling businesses in order to reduce the cost base of the businesses primarily in response to reduced demand for nuclear power products and services in Europe. Charges for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 related primarily to severance and other costs associated with (i) the closure of a facility in China and (ii) finalizing restructuring initiatives in Germany that commenced in 2013.

 

Industrial Products and Services and Other — Charges for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 related primarily to severance and other costs associated with a restructuring initiative at our obstruction lighting systems business. These actions were taken to reduce the cost base of the business in response to reduced demand within the markets served by the business. Charges for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 related primarily to costs associated with restructuring initiatives at various locations in the U.S.

 

Corporate — Charges for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 related primarily to costs associated with our efforts to better align our corporate overhead structure with the new operational alignment we implemented in the second half of 2013.

 

Expected charges still to be incurred under actions approved as of June 27, 2015 were approximately $4.0.

At June 27, 2015, trademarks with indefinite lives consisted of $253.8 in the Flow Technology reportable segment, $116.3 in the Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment and $21.1 in Industrial Products and Services and Other.

 

We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter in conjunction with our annual financial planning process, with such testing based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test goodwill for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indication of impairment has occurred between annual testing dates. Such indications may include: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; unanticipated competition; and a more likely than not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit.

 

We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair values of our trademarks are determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions.

 

No impairment charges were recorded in the first half of 2015 or 2014. Changes in the gross carrying value of trademarks and other identifiable intangible assets related to foreign currency translation.

(9)                                 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

During a designated election period in the first quarter of 2014, we offered approximately 7,100 eligible former employees under the SPX U.S. Pension Plan (the “U.S. Plan”) a voluntary lump-sum payment option in lieu of a future pension benefit under the U.S. Plan. Approximately 38%, or $165.2, of the projected benefit obligation of the U.S. Plan was settled as a result of lump-sum payments made to those who accepted the offer. These payments were made during March 2014 and resulted in a settlement charge of $4.6 being reflected in net periodic pension benefit expense for the first quarter of 2014. In addition, in connection with this lump-sum payment action, we remeasured the assets and liabilities of the U.S. Plan as of March 29, 2014, which resulted in a charge to net periodic pension benefit expense of $14.8 for the three months then ended.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we executed an agreement to transfer obligations for monthly pension payments to retirees under the SPX U.K. Pension Plan (the ‘‘U.K. Plan’’) to Just Retirement Limited (‘‘Just Retirement’’). Under the agreement, Just Retirement irrevocably assumed the obligation to make future pension payments to the approximately 900 retirees of the U.K. Plan beginning in the first quarter of 2015. The U.K. Plan paid Just Retirement 79.2 British Pounds (‘‘GBP’’) ($123.3 equivalent) in the fourth quarter of 2014 to assume obligations totaling approximately GBP 68.0 ($105.8 equivalent). The partial annuitization of the U.K. Plan resulted in a settlement loss of $15.0, which was included in net periodic pension benefit expense during the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

Net periodic benefit expense for our pension and postretirement plans included the following components:

(1)                   The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 5.0% annually, and payments began during our second fiscal quarter of 2015. The remaining balance is repayable in full on December 23, 2018.

 

(2)                   Under this arrangement, we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $80.0, as available. At June 27, 2015, we had $50.2 of available borrowing capacity under this facility after giving effect to outstanding borrowings of $17.0.

 

(3)                   Primarily included balances under a purchase card program of $30.2 and $32.1 and capital lease obligations of $13.0 and $13.6 at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The purchase card program allows for payment beyond the normal payment terms for goods and services acquired under the program. As this arrangement extends the payment of these purchases beyond their normal payment terms through third-party lending institutions, we have classified these amounts as short-term debt.

 

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

 

Senior Credit Facilities

 

A detailed description of our senior credit facilities is included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

At June 27, 2015, we had $53.1 and $679.5 of outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit and our foreign credit instrument facilities of our senior credit agreement, respectively. In addition, we had $5.6 of letters of credit outstanding under separate arrangements in China and India.

 

13



 

The weighted-average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facilities was approximately 1.8% at June 27, 2015.

 

At June 27, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants of our senior credit facilities and our senior notes. Restrictions on our ability to repurchase shares or pay dividends are described in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

(11)                          DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

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 changes as a result of currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, South African Rand, Chinese Yuan and Great Britain Pound.

 

From time to time, we enter into 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 (“FX forward contracts”). In addition, some of our contracts contain currency forward embedded derivatives (“FX embedded derivatives”), because 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. 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 are 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 is recorded as a component of “Other income (expense), net” in the period in which the transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring. To the extent 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 in which it occurs.

 

We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $257.1 and $298.0 outstanding as of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, with notional amounts of $234.4 and $22.7 scheduled to mature within one and two years, respectively. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $176.2 and $246.0 at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, with notional amounts of $104.2, $68.0 and $4.0 scheduled to mature within one, two, and years thereafter, respectively. The unrealized losses, net of tax, recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts were $0.8 and $0.3 as of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

Commodity Contracts

 

From time to time, we enter into commodity contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials. At June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding notional amount of commodity contracts was 4.5 and 4.2 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 AOCI associated with our commodity contracts to cost of products sold when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of these contracts was $0.9 (current liability) and $1.4 (current liability), respectively. The unrealized losses, net of tax, recorded in AOCI were $0.6 and $1.0 as of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized losses as of June 27, 2015 to income over the next 12 months.

 

The following summarizes the gross and net fair values of our FX forward and commodity contracts by counterparty at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, 0.538 and 0.544 of unvested restricted stock shares/units, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because required market thresholds for vesting (as discussed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K) were not met. For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, 0.323 of stock options 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.

 

All unvested restricted stock shares and restricted stock units were included in the computation of diluted income per share for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 because required market thresholds for vesting were met. There were no stock options outstanding during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014.

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation awards may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors under the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended, or to non-employee directors under the 2006 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan. A detailed description of the awards granted under these plans is included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

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 within income from continuing operations related to restricted stock shares, restricted stock units, and stock options totaled $5.5 and $4.6 for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively, and $29.1 and $29.3 for the six months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. The related tax benefit was $2.1 and $1.7 for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively, and $10.9 and $10.6 for the six months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively.

Common Stock in Treasury

 

On December 18, 2013, we entered into a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate the repurchase of up to $500.0 of shares of our common stock on or before December 31, 2014, in accordance with a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors. We repurchased 0.115 shares of our common stock for $11.2 under this trading plan during December 2013. During the first half of 2014, we repurchased 2.684 shares of our common stock for $274.4 under this trading plan. During the remainder of 2014, we repurchased 2.168 shares of our common stock for $214.4, which completed the repurchases authorized under this trading plan.  There were no common stock repurchases during the first half of 2015.

During the six months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, “Common stock in treasury” was decreased by the settlement of restricted stock units issued from treasury stock of $5.7 and $12.8, respectively, and increased by $1.2 and $7.9, respectively, 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 totaled $15.4 and $15.5 during the first and second quarters of 2015, respectively, and $16.3 and $16.1 during the first and second quarters of 2014, respectively. We paid second quarter dividends on July 1, 2015 and July 2, 2014. In anticipation of the pending spin-off (see Note 1), the second quarter dividend payment for 2015 is expected to be our final cash dividend payment for the foreseeable future.

(13)                          CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 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. Also, 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. We believe, however, 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, which are determined in accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the Codification, totaled $617.1 (including $572.3 for risk management matters) and $619.6 (including $575.4 for risk management matters) at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Of these amounts, $567.7 and $571.5 are included in “Other long-term liabilities” within our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, with the remainder included in “Accrued expenses.” It is reasonably possible that our ultimate liability for these items could exceed the amount of the recorded accruals;

 

21



 

however, we believe the estimated amount of any potential additional liability would not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

We had insurance recovery assets related to risk management matters of $503.7 at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014 included in “Other assets” within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Litigation Matters

 

The business environment surrounding our large power projects in South Africa has become increasingly difficult, and the projects have experienced significant delays. In addition, the projects involve a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, the prime contractors, various subcontractors (including us and our subcontractors), and various suppliers. We are currently involved in a number of claim disputes with the prime contractors (our immediate customers) and with certain of our subcontractors relating to delay, additional costs, and performance issues. We believe that, in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we have adequately provided for those claims against us where our liability is probable and reasonably estimable. Although it is reasonably possible that our liability for certain of these claims could exceed the amount of our recorded accruals, we do not believe that the estimated amount of any potential additional liability would have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We are subject to other legal 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 effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our business, financial condition, and results of operations or cash flows. As of June 27, 2015, we had liabilities for site investigation and/or remediation at 91 sites (91 sites at December 31, 2014) 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 revise an estimate once it becomes probable and the amount of change can be reasonably estimated. We generally do not discount our environmental accruals and do not reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries. We 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, as of June 27, 2015, 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 (28 sites at December 31, 2014) at which the liability has not been settled, of which 8 sites (9 sites at December 31, 2014) 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 that our aggregate liability, if any, related to these sites is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. 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

 

22



 

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.

 

In our opinion, after considering accruals established for such purposes, the cost of remedial actions for compliance with the present laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment are not expected to have a material impact, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, 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, are 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 statements of operations.

 

We enter into consortium arrangements for certain projects within our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable 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 responsibility for its 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, we account for our share of the revenues and profits under the consortium arrangements. As of June 27, 2015, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $84.6 (of which approximately 77% had been recognized as revenue), and the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $344.2. As of December 31, 2014, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $65.2 (of which approximately 87% had been recognized as revenue), and the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $291.1. At June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded liabilities of $0.5 and $0.7, respectively, representing the estimated fair value of our potential obligation under the joint and several liability provisions associated with the consortium arrangements.

 

(14)                          INCOME TAXES

 

Uncertain Tax Benefits

 

As of June 27, 2015, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $67.3 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $37.8), of which $37.3, 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 June 27, 2015, gross accrued interest totaled $6.9 (net accrued interest of $5.7). As of June 27, 2015, we had no accrual for penalties included in our unrecognized tax benefits.

 

23



 

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 $10.0 to $15.0. The previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax matters relating to deemed income inclusions, transfer pricing and various state matters.

 

Other Tax Matters

 

For the three months ended June 27, 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $10.4 on $47.3 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 22.0%. This compares to an income tax provision for the three months ended June 28, 2014 of $18.6 on $75.3 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 24.7%. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 were tax benefits of (i) $3.9 related to net reductions in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets, including $2.9 for which the benefit was realized due to legal entity reorganization actions that were undertaken in connection with the planned spin-off transaction, and (ii) $2.0 related to foreign exchange losses recognized for tax purposes with respect to a foreign branch, partially offset by the effects of approximately $12.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the period for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 were tax benefits of (i) $9.9 related to various audit settlements and statute expirations and (ii) $6.7 related to a loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary, partially offset by tax charges of $10.8 resulting from net increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets.

 

For the six months ended June 27, 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $19.9 on $47.2 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 42.2%. This compares to an income tax provision for the six months ended June 28, 2014 of $178.6 on $532.0 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.6%. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2015 were (i) $5.1 of taxes incurred during the first quarter of 2015 related to the planned spin-off transaction, including $4.9 of foreign income taxes related to reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the separation, (ii) the effects of approximately $26.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the period for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely, partially offset by the tax benefits realized in the second quarter of 2015 discussed above. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2014 were the U.S. income taxes provided in connection with the $491.2 gain recorded during the first quarter of 2014 on the sale of our interest in EGS, as well as those items discussed above that were recorded during the second quarter of 2014.

 

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 resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities.

 

We have filed our federal income tax returns for the 2012 and 2013 tax years and those returns are subject to examination. The IRS is currently examining the 2012 tax return year. With regard to all open tax years, we believe any contingencies are adequately provided for.

 

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 or administrative appeal. We believe any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.

 

We have various foreign income tax returns under examination. The most significant of these are in Denmark for the 2006, 2007, and 2010 tax years and in South Africa for the 2009 tax year. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.

 

An unfavorable resolution of 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

 

24



 

examinations are still in process or we have not yet reached the final stages of the appeals process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.

 

(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 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:

 

·                  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.

 

There were no changes during the periods presented to the valuation techniques we use to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014.

 

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 derivative financial assets and liabilities include FX forward contracts, FX embedded derivatives and commodity contracts, valued using valuation models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties, which comprise investment-grade financial institutions. 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 active. We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.

 

As of June 27, 2015, 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 risks.

 

Investments in Equity Securities

 

Certain of our investments in equity securities that are not readily marketable are accounted for under the fair value option and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy, 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 June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these assets had a fair value of $10.3 and $7.4, respectively.

Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets

 

Certain of our non-financial assets are subject to impairment analysis, including long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. We review the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the instrument be recorded at its fair value. As of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have any significant non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

 

Indebtedness and Other

 

The estimated fair values of other financial liabilities (excluding capital leases) not measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

·                  The fair values of the senior notes and term loan were determined using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy and were based on quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments or on current rates offered to us for debt with similar maturities, subordination and credit default expectations.

 

·                  The fair value of our other indebtedness approximated carrying value due primarily to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents and receivables reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (in millions)

 

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

 

Summary of Operating Results

 

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 decreased by 10.1% and 11.0%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2014, with the most significant fluctuations related to a stronger U.S. dollar in the first six months of 2015, as well as a decrease in sales associated with the power and energy business within our Flow Technology reportable segment primarily resulting from the impact of lower oil prices on the purchasing patterns of our customers in the oil and gas markets. Income associated with our reportable and other operating segments totaled $106.1 and $181.6 for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, respectively, compared to $127.9 and $226.6 for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014. The year-over-year decrease in income associated with our reportable and other operating segments was primarily attributable to the decline in revenues noted above.

 

Cash flows used in continuing operations totaled $97.7 during the first six months of 2015, compared to $97.4 during the first six months of 2014. The increase was due primarily to (a) the decline in segment profitability noted above, (b) an increase in incentive compensation payments (the total amount of incentive compensation for 2014, which was paid in the first quarter of 2015, exceeded the related amount for 2013, which was paid in the first quarter of 2014), (c) the timing of cash receipts on certain large projects, and (d) cash payments during the first half of 2015 associated with the planned spin-off. The impact of these increases was offset partially by the fact that cash flows used in operating activities during the first half of 2014 included approximately $114.0 of income taxes that were paid in connection with the gains that were recorded on our sales of our (i) interest in the EGS Electrical Group LLC and Subsidiaries (“EGS”) joint venture and (ii) TPS business.

 

Planned Spin-Off Transaction

 

On October 29, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors had unanimously approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of our Flow Technology reportable segment, our Hydraulic Technologies business (a business currently reported within Industrial Products and Services and Other), and certain of our corporate subsidiaries. The spin-off would create a new stand-alone, publicly-traded company focused on providing highly engineered technologies and services to customers in the global food and beverage, power and energy, and industrial markets. We expect that the transaction will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2015.

 

During the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, we recorded $9.0 and $14.0, respectively, of professional fees and other costs (included in “Selling, general and administrative” expense) related to the planned spin-off. Additionally, we recorded a $2.9 income tax benefit and $2.2 income tax charge during the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, respectively, in connection with certain reorganization actions that were undertaken to facilitate the planned spin-off.

 

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 2014 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 first calendar 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 2015 are March 28, June 27 and September 26, compared to the respective March 29, June 28 and September 27, 2014 dates. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2015 and will have one more day in the fourth quarter of 2015 than in the respective 2014 periods.

 

Cyclicality of End Markets, Seasonality and Competition—The financial results of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries in which they operate and end markets in which they serve. Capital spending on original equipment by our customers in the oil and gas industries is heavily influenced by current and expected oil and gas prices. As a result of a significant decline in oil prices, beginning in the latter half of 2014 and continuing into 2015, we expect 2015 revenue and operating profit margin for the power and energy business within our Flow Technology reportable

 

28



 

segment to decline on a year-over-year basis by at least 20% and 300 basis points, respectively. In addition, certain of our businesses have seasonal fluctuations. Demand in the oil and gas aftermarket is typically stronger in the second half of the year. Also, our heating and ventilation businesses tend to be stronger in the third and fourth quarters, as customer buying habits are driven largely by seasonal weather patterns. Demand for cooling towers, food and beverage systems, and related services is highly correlated to the timing of large construction contracts, which may cause significant fluctuations from period to period. In aggregate, our businesses generally 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 none of our competitors offer all the same product lines or serve all the same markets as we do. 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 innovation and price. These methods vary with the type of product sold. We believe we compete effectively on the basis of each of these factors.

 

Non-GAAP Measures — Organic revenue growth (decline) presented herein is defined as revenue growth (decline) excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and acquisitions. We believe 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”), should not be considered a substitute for net revenue growth (decline) as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

The following table provides selected financial information for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively, including the reconciliation of organic revenue decline to net revenue decline:

Revenues — For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2014 periods, was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the 2015 periods and a decrease in organic revenue. The decline in organic revenue was attributable primarily to decreases at the power and energy business within our Flow Technology reportable segment and lower sales to the power generation markets within our Thermal Equipment and

 

29



 

Services reportable segment. See “Results of Reportable Segments and Other Operating Segments” for additional details.

 

Gross Profit — The decrease in gross profit for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, compared to the respective 2014 periods, was due primarily to the impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar and the organic revenue decline noted above. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, compared to the respective periods in 2014, was due primarily to the organic revenue decline associated with the power and energy business within our Flow Technology segment, as this business generates gross profit margins that typically are higher than many of our other businesses. See “Results of Reportable Segments and Other Operating Segments” for additional details.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expense — For the three months ended June 27, 2015, the decrease in SG&A expense, when compared to the respective period in 2014, was due primarily to the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar during the period and a decrease in incentive compensation expense, partially offset by professional fees and other costs associated with our planned spin-off transaction. The decrease in incentive compensation expense was due to lower profitability in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the respective period in 2014.

 

For the six months ended June 27, 2015, the decrease in SG&A expense, when compared to the respective period in 2014, was due a decrease in pension and postretirement expense of $18.9 (an overall decrease in pension and postretirement expense of $20.2, with $1.3 included in “Cost of products sold”), the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar during the period, and a decrease in incentive compensation expense, partially offset by professional fees and other costs associated with our planned spin-off transaction. The decrease in pension and postretirement expense was due primarily to the fact that the amount for the first quarter of 2014 included losses (an actuarial loss and settlement loss) of $19.4 associated with a lump-sum payment action related to the SPX U.S. Pension Plan (the “U.S. Plan”), partially offset by a $4.1 increase to the settlement gain that was recorded in connection with the 2013 annuitization of the U.S. Plan.  The decrease in incentive compensation expense was due to lower profitability in the first half of 2015, compared to the respective period in 2014.

 

Intangible Amortization For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, the decrease in intangible amortization was due to the impact of foreign currency translation.

 

Special Charges, net — Special charges, net, related primarily to restructuring initiatives to consolidate manufacturing, distribution, sales and administrative facilities, reduce workforce and rationalize certain product lines. See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the details of actions taken in 2015 and 2014.

 

Other Income (Expense), net — Other income, net, for the three months ended June 27, 2015 was composed primarily of gains on foreign currency forward contracts (“FX forward contracts”) of $5.7, gains on asset sales of $2.4, and investment earnings of $0.2, offset by foreign currency transaction losses of $6.1 and losses on currency forward embedded derivatives (“FX embedded derivatives”) of $2.2.

 

Other expense, net, for the three months ended June 28, 2014 was composed primarily of foreign currency transaction losses of $2.3, partially offset by gains on FX forward contracts of $1.4 and gains on FX embedded derivatives of $0.1.

 

Other income, net, for the six months ended June 27, 2015 was composed primarily of gains on FX embedded derivatives of $4.4, investment earnings of $3.3 and gains on asset sales of $2.4, partially offset by losses on FX forward contracts of $6.5 and currency transaction losses of $2.8.

 

Other income, net, for the six months ended June 28, 2014 was composed primarily of the gain on sale of our interest in EGS of $491.2 and, to a much lesser extent, investment earnings of $3.4 and gains on FX forward contracts of $1.8, partially offset by foreign currency transaction losses of $4.5 and losses on FX embedded derivatives of $2.1.

 

Interest Expense, net Interest expense, net, includes both interest expense and interest income. The increase in interest expense, net, during the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, when compared to the same periods in 2014, was primarily a result of a decline in interest income resulting from lower average cash balances during the first half of 2015 compared to the respective period in 2014.

 

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt On February 11, 2014, we completed the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes due in December 2014 for a total redemption price of $530.6. As a result of the redemption, we recorded a charge of $32.5

 

30



 

during the first quarter of 2014, which consisted of the premiums paid of $30.6, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.0, and other costs incurred to redeem the notes of $0.9.

 

Income Tax Provision — For the three months ended June 27, 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $10.4 on $47.3 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 22.0%. This compares to an income tax provision for the three months ended June 28, 2014 of $18.6 on $75.3 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 24.7%. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 were tax benefits of (i) $3.9 related to net reductions in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets, including $2.9 for which the benefit was realized due to legal entity reorganization actions that were undertaken in connection with the planned spin-off transaction, and (ii) $2.0 related to foreign exchange losses recognized for tax purposes with respect to a foreign branch, partially offset by the effects of approximately $12.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the period for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 were tax benefits of (i) $9.9 related to various audit settlements and statute expirations and (ii) $6.7 related to a loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary, partially offset by tax charges of $10.8 resulting from net increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets.

 

For the six months ended June 27, 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $19.9 on $47.2 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 42.2%. This compares to an income tax provision for the six months ended June 28, 2014 of $178.6 on $532.0 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.6%. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2015 were (i) $5.1 of taxes incurred during the first quarter of 2015 related to the planned spin-off transaction, including $4.9 of foreign income taxes related to reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the separation, (ii) the effects of approximately $26.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the period in jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely, partially offset by the tax benefits realized in the second quarter of 2015 discussed above. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2014 were the U.S. income taxes provided in connection with the $491.2 gain recorded during the first quarter of 2014 on the sale of our interest in EGS, as well as those items discussed above that were recorded during the second quarter of 2014.

 

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 indicated in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, there were no disposal activities in the first half of 2015. Prior to January 1, 2015, we reported businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when, among other things, we terminated the operations of the business or asset group, committed to a plan to divest the business or asset group or actively began marketing the business or asset group, and the sale of the business or asset group was deemed probable within the next twelve months.

 

During the second quarter of 2014, we sold our SPX Precision Components (“Precision Components”) business for cash consideration of $63.0, resulting in a loss, net of tax, of $7.3.

 

During the first quarter of 2014, we sold our Thermal Products Solutions (“TPS”) business for cash consideration of $38.5 and a promissory note of $4.0, resulting in a gain, net of tax, during the quarter of $21.5. The promissory note was paid in full during the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

In addition to the Precision Components and TPS businesses, we recognized net losses of $0.5 and $0.9 during the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, respectively, and net gains of $1.2 and $0.7 during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on dispositions of businesses discontinued prior to 2014.

 

For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, income (loss) from discontinued operations and the related income taxes are shown below:

Revenues — For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2014 periods, was due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the 2015 periods and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in organic revenue. The decrease in organic revenue was due primarily to lower sales of power and energy pumps, largely reflecting the impact of lower oil prices. This decrease was offset partially by a year-over-year increase in sales of food and beverage systems.

 

Income — For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, income decreased, compared to the respective 2014 periods, due to the impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar and the organic revenue decline noted above. These declines in income were offset partially by the impact of (i) improved operational performance within the segment’s food and beverage business and (ii) cost reductions during the period associated with restructuring initiatives implemented during 2014 within the segment’s power and energy and food and beverage businesses.

 

Backlog — The segment had backlog of $1,114.5 and $1,352.0 as of June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. Of the $237.5 year-over-year decline in backlog, $133.5 was attributable to the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar as of June 27, 2015, as compared to June 28, 2014.

Revenues — For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2014 periods, was due to a stronger U.S. dollar during the 2015 periods and an organic revenue decline. The organic revenue decline was concentrated in power generation markets and due primarily to lower sales of cooling equipment in the Americas and heat exchangers in Asia Pacific.

 

Income — For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, income and margin decreased, compared to the respective 2014 periods, due primarily to the organic revenue decline noted above, including the resulting reduction in absorption of fixed costs. These declines in income and margin were offset partially by increased profitability within the segment’s personal comfort heating products businesses.

 

Backlog — The segment had backlog of $646.3 and $690.1 as of June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. Of the $43.8 year-over-year decline in backlog, $62.5 was attributable to the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar as of June 27, 2015, as compared to June 28, 2014, offset partially by a year-over-year increase due to organic backlog growth of $18.7. Portions of the segment’s backlog are long-term in nature, with the related revenues expected to be recorded through 2015 and beyond.

Revenues — For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2014 periods, was due to a decrease in organic revenue and, to a lesser extent, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the 2015 periods. The decrease in organic revenue was due primarily to lower sales of fare collection systems, hydraulic tools and equipment, and obstruction lighting systems, partially offset by an increase in sales of power transformers and portable cable and pipe locators.

 

Income — For the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, income and margin decreased, compared to the respective 2014 periods, due primarily to the revenue decline noted above and a less profitable sales mix during the first half of 2015.

 

Backlog — The segment had backlog of $323.0 and $338.1 as of June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. The impact of changes in foreign currencies (versus the U.S. dollar) was not material to the backlog as of June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014.

Corporate Expense — Corporate expense generally relates to the cost of our Charlotte, NC corporate headquarters and our Asia Pacific center in Shanghai, China. The increase in corporate expense for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, compared to the respective periods in 2014, was due to one-time costs associated with our planned spin-off transaction, partially offset by a decline in incentive compensation expense due to lower profitability in the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, compared to the respective periods in 2014.

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense — Stock-based compensation expense represents our consolidated expense, which we do not allocate for segment reporting purposes. The increase in stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 27, 2015, compared to the respective period in 2014, was due primarily to a higher rate of forfeitures during the three months ended June 28, 2014.

 

Pension and Postretirement Expense — Pension and postretirement expense represents our consolidated expense, which we do not allocate for segment reporting purposes. The decline in pension and postretirement expense during the three months ended June 27, 2015, compared to the respective period in 2014, was due primarily to a decline in service costs associated with certain of our non-qualified plans. The decline in pension and postretirement expense for the six months ended June 27, 2015, compared to the respective period in 2014, was due primarily to the fact that the amount for the first quarter of 2014 included losses (an actuarial loss and settlement loss) of $19.4 associated with a lump-sum payment action related to the U.S. Plan, partially offset by a $4.1 increase to the settlement gain that was recorded in connection with the 2013 annuitization of the U.S. Plan. In addition, service costs associated with our pension and postretirement plans was lower during the six months ended June 27, 2015, as compared to the respective period in 2014.

Operating Activities The increase in cash flows used in operating activities was due primarily to (a) a decline in segment profitability, (b) increased payments for incentive compensation during the first six months of 2015, resulting from the year-over-year improvement in operating performance in fiscal year 2014 compared to fiscal year 2013, (c) the timing of cash receipts on certain large projects, and (d) cash payments during the first six months of 2015 associated with the planned spin-off transaction. The impact of these increases was offset partially by the fact that cash flows used in operating activities for the first

 

34



 

half of 2014 included approximately $114.0 of income taxes that were paid in connection with the gains that were recorded on our sales of our (i) interest in EGS and (ii) TPS business.

 

Investing Activities — Cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended June 27, 2015 related primarily to $29.4 of capital expenditures associated generally with upgrades of manufacturing facilities and information technology systems, partially offset by proceeds from asset sales of $3.6. Cash flows from investing activities during the six months ended June 28, 2014 related primarily to proceeds from the sale of our interest in EGS of $574.1 (as discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and, to a much lesser extent, proceeds from other asset sales of $7.1, partially offset by $23.6 of capital expenditures associated generally with upgrades of manufacturing facilities and replacement of equipment.

 

Financing Activities — Cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 27, 2015 related primarily to net borrowings of $100.8 and $7.0 under our senior credit facilities and trade receivables financing arrangement, respectively, partially offset by dividends paid during the first six months of 2015 of $30.6. Cash flows used in financing activities during the six months ended June 28, 2014 related primarily to (i) the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes during the first quarter of 2014 for $530.6, (ii) repurchases of common stock totaling $274.4, as discussed in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, (iii) net repayments of other debt of $52.6, related primarily to the repayment of the obligation associated with our corporate headquarters, and (iv) dividends paid of $28.6, partially offset by net borrowings under our senior credit facilities of $137.0.

 

Discontinued Operations — Cash flows used in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 27, 2015 related primarily to payments for certain liabilities associated with businesses previously sold, while cash flows from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 28, 2014 included $38.5 and $63.0 of cash proceeds related to the sale of TPS and Precision Components, respectively, as well as operating cash flows related primarily to these and certain other businesses that have been discontinued.

 

Change in Cash and Equivalents due to Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates — The decrease in cash and equivalents due to foreign currency exchange rates for the six months ended June 27, 2015 and the six months ended June 28, 2014 reflected primarily a reduction in U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our Euro-denominated cash and equivalents as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro during those periods.

(1)                   The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 5.0% annually, and payments began during our second fiscal quarter of 2015. The remaining balance is repayable in full on December 23, 2018.

 

(2)                   Under this arrangement, we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $80.0, as available. At June 27, 2015, we had $50.2 of available borrowing capacity under this facility after giving effect to outstanding borrowings of $17.0.

 

(3)                   Primarily included balances under a purchase card program of $30.2 and $32.1 and capital lease obligations of $13.0 and

 

35



 

$13.6 at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The purchase card program allows for payment beyond the normal payment terms for goods and services acquired under the program. As this arrangement extends the payment of these purchases beyond their normal payment terms through third-party lending institutions, we have classified these amounts as short-term debt.

 

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

 

At June 27, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenant provisions of our senior credit facilities and senior notes.

 

Availability — At June 27, 2015, we had $205.9 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to borrowings under the domestic revolving loan facility of $241.0 and $53.1 reserved for outstanding letters of credit, and $50.2 of available borrowing capacity under our trade receivables financing arrangement after giving effect to outstanding borrowings of $17.0 under this arrangement. In addition, at June 27, 2015, we had $320.5 of available issuance capacity under our foreign trade facilities after giving effect to $679.5 reserved for outstanding letters of credit.

 

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.

 

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 derivative financial 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 active.

 

As of June 27, 2015, there was 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 was 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.

 

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 changes as a result of currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, South African Rand, Chinese Yuan and Great Britain Pound.

 

From time to time, we enter into 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, because 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. To the extent these

 

36



 

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 are 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 is recorded as a component of “Other income (expense), net” in the period in which the transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring. To the extent 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 in which it occurs.

 

We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $257.1 and $298.0 outstanding as of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, with notional amounts of $234.4 and $22.7 scheduled to mature within one and two years, respectively. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $176.2 and $246.0 at June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, with notional amounts of $104.2, $68.0 and $4.0 scheduled to mature within one, two, and years thereafter, respectively. The unrealized losses, net of tax, recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts were $0.8 and $0.3 as of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

The fair values of our FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives were as follows:

Commodity Contracts

 

From time to time, we enter into commodity contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials. At June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding notional amount of commodity contracts was 4.5 and 4.2 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 AOCI associated with our commodity contracts to cost of products sold when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of these contracts was $0.9 (current liability) and $1.4 (current liability), respectively. The unrealized losses, net of tax, recorded in AOCI were $0.6 and $1.0 as of June 27, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized losses as of June 27, 2015 to income over the next 12 months.

 

Other Fair Value Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

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

 

The fair value of our debt instruments (excluding capital leases), based on borrowing rates available to us at June 27, 2015 for similar debt, was $1,515.3, compared to our carrying value of $1,461.9.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and 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 maintain cash levels in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. We have not experienced significant, and believe we are not exposed to significant risk of, loss in these accounts.

 

We have credit loss exposure 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

 

37



 

satisfy their 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 customers in a particular industry. Credit risks are mitigated by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions and obtaining collateral, advance payments, 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 have been no material changes in the amounts of our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our total net liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits including interest were $43.5 as of June 27, 2015. Of that amount, we believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $10.0 to $15.0.

 

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 resolutions occur, these accruals may be adjusted and could differ materially from amounts originally estimated. See Note 13 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 2014 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

 

General — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us 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 our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties are discussed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have affected no material change in either our critical accounting policies or use of estimates since the filing of our 2014 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 operational and financial projections, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 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 may address our plans, our strategies, our 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” (“MD&A”) or in other sections of this document. 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 planned spin-off transaction, internal 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, and forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results. In addition, management’s estimates of future operating results are based on our current complement of businesses, which is subject to change as management selects strategic markets.

 

All the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in any subsequent filing with the SEC, as well as in 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. 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. We undertake no obligation to update or publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this document.

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Management does not believe our exposure to market risk has significantly changed since December 31, 2014 and does not believe that such risks will result in significant adverse impacts to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

SPX management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of June 27, 2015. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 27, 2015.

 

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 June 27, 2015 were identified that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
