ITEM 1. Business
(All currency and share amounts are in millions)
Forward-Looking Information
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 recent 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 this filing and 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.
Business
We were incorporated in Muskegon, Michigan in 1912 as the Piston Ring Company and adopted our current name in 1988. Since 1968, we have been incorporated under the laws of Delaware, and we have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1972.
On September 26, 2015 (the “Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off to our stockholders (the “Spin-Off”) of all the outstanding shares of SPX FLOW, Inc. (“SPX FLOW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPX Corporation ("SPX") prior to the Spin-Off, which at the time of the Spin-Off held the businesses comprising our Flow Technology reportable segment, our Hydraulic Technologies business, and certain of our corporate subsidiaries (collectively, the “FLOW Business”). On the Distribution Date, each of our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2015 (the “Record Date”) received one share of common stock of SPX FLOW for every share of SPX common stock held as of the Record Date. SPX FLOW is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “FLOW” on the New York Stock Exchange. Following the Spin-Off, SPX’s common stock continues to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but trades under the new ticker symbol, “SPXC”.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in Part I pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for information on discontinued operations).
We are a diversified, global supplier of infrastructure equipment with (i) scalable growth platforms in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) and detection and measurement markets and (ii) a strong presence in power and energy markets.

Our power and energy solutions play a critical role in electricity generation around the world. Specifically, our power transformers play an integral role in the North American power grid, while our power generation business is focused on meeting the growing demand for energy in developing markets. Our power businesses are committed to driving value through continued focus on operational and engineering efficiencies.
Reportable Segments
As indicated in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements, during the third quarter of 2015, we realigned our segment reporting structure. Under the realigned structure, we have aggregated our operating segments into the following three reportable segments: HVAC, Detection and Measurement, and Power. 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, distribution methods, and regulatory environment. 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.
HVAC Reportable Segment
Our HVAC reportable segment had revenues of $529.1, $535.7 and $497.3 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and backlog of $31.1 and $44.6 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately 99% of the segment's backlog as of December 31, 2015 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2016. The segment engineers, designs, manufactures, installs and services cooling products for the HVAC and industrial markets, as well as heating and ventilation products for the residential and commercial markets. The primary distribution channels for the segment’s products are direct to customers, independent manufacturing representatives, third-party distributors, and retailers. The segment primarily serves a North American customer base. Core brands for our cooling products include Marley and Recold, with the major competitors to these products being Baltimore Aircoil Company and Evapco. Our heating and ventilation products are sold under the Berko, Qmark, Farenheat, and Leading Edge brands, while our Marley-Wylain subsidiary sells Weil-McLain and Williamson-Thermoflo brands. Major competitors to these products are TPI Corporation, Quellet, King Electric, Systemair Mfg. LLC, Cadet Manufacturing Company, and Dimplex North America Ltd for heating products, Burnham Holdings, Inc, and Buderus for boiler products, and TPI Corporation, Broan-NuTone LLC and Airmaster Fan Company for ventilation products.
Detection and Measurement Reportable Segment
Our Detection and Measurement reportable segment had revenues of $232.3, $244.4 and $271.3 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and backlog of $36.9 and $38.0 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately 78% of the segment's backlog as of December 31, 2015 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2016. The segment engineers, designs, manufactures and installs underground pipe and cable locators and inspection equipment, bus fare collection systems, communication technologies, and specialty lighting. The primary distribution channels for the segment’s products are direct to customers and third-party distributors. The segment serves a global customer base, with a strong presence in North America, Europe and Asia. Core brands for our underground pipe and cable

2



locators and inspection equipment are Radiodetection, Pearpoint and Warren G-V, while our bus fare collection systems, communication technologies, and specialty lighting are sold under the Genfare, TCI and Flash Technology brand names, respectively.
Power Reportable Segment
Our Power reportable segment had revenues of $957.9, $1,172.6 and $1,200.2 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and backlog of $790.2 and $934.0 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately 74% of the segment's backlog as of December 31, 2015 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2016. The segment engineers, designs, manufactures, installs and services dry, evaporative and hybrid cooling products, rotating and stationary heat exchangers and pollution control systems for the power generation market, and transformers for the power transmission and distribution market. The primary distribution channels for the segment’s products are direct to customers and third-party representatives. The segment serves a global customer base, with a strong presence in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South Africa.

Our competitors in this market include ABB Ltd., GE-Prolec, Siemens, Hyundai Power Transformers, Delta Star Inc., Philadelphia Transformer, SGB-SMIT Group, Virginia Transformer Corporation, Howard Industries, Inc., and WEG S.A.
The segment's South African subsidiary has a Black Economic Empowerment shareholder, which holds a noncontrolling 25.1% interest in the subsidiary.
Acquisitions
We did not acquire any businesses in 2015, 2014 or 2013. However, we regularly review and negotiate potential acquisitions in the ordinary course of business, some of which are or may be material.
Divestitures
We regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures in the ordinary course of business, some of which are or may be material. As a result of this continuous review, we determined that certain of our businesses would be better strategic fits with other companies or investors.

Joint Ventures
As of December 31, 2013, we had a joint venture, EGS Electrical Group, LLC and Subsidiaries ("EGS"), with Emerson Electric Co., in which we held a 44.5% interest. EGS operates primarily in the United States, Brazil, Canada and France and is engaged in the manufacture of electrical fittings, hazardous location lighting and power conditioning products. We accounted for our investment using the equity method, on a three-month lag basis, and we typically received our share of the joint venture's earnings in cash dividends paid quarterly. On January 7, 2014, we completed the sale of our 44.5% interest in EGS to Emerson Electric Co. for cash proceeds of $574.1. As a result of the sale, we

3



recorded a gain of $491.2 to "Other income (expense), net" and no equity earnings related to this investment during 2014.
We have a joint venture with the Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Electric"), in which we hold a 45% interest. Shanghai Electric controls and operates the joint venture, which supplies dry cooling and moisture separator reheater products primarily to the power sector in China. We account for this investment using the equity method.
International Operations
We are a multinational corporation with operations in approximately 20 countries. Sales outside the United States were $463.9, $650.1 and $682.7 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our international operations.
Research and Development
We are actively engaged in research and development programs designed to improve existing products and manufacturing methods and to develop new products to better serve our current and future customers. These efforts encompass certain of our products with divisional engineering teams coordinating their resources. We place particular emphasis on the development of new products that are compatible with, and build upon, our manufacturing and marketing capabilities.
We expensed $30.4, $32.2 and $32.0 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of research activities relating to the development and improvement of our products.
Patents/Trademarks
We own approximately 180 domestic and 140 foreign patent "families", including approximately 7 patents that were issued in 2015, covering a variety of our products and manufacturing methods. We also own a number of registered trademarks. Although in the aggregate our patents and trademarks are of considerable importance in the operation of our business, we do not consider any single patent or trademark to be of such importance that its absence would adversely affect our ability to conduct business as presently constituted. We are both a licensor and licensee of patents. For more information, please refer to "Risk Factors."
Outsourcing and Raw Materials
We manufacture many of the components used in our products; however, our strategy includes outsourcing certain components and sub-assemblies to other companies where strategically and economically beneficial. In instances where we depend on third-party suppliers for outsourced products or components, we are subject to the risk of customer dissatisfaction with the quality or performance of the products we sell due to supplier failure. In addition, business difficulties experienced by a third-party supplier can lead to the interruption of our ability to obtain the outsourced product and ultimately to our inability to supply products to our customers. We believe that we generally will be able to continue to obtain adequate supplies of key products or appropriate substitutes at reasonable costs.
We are subject to increases in the prices of many of our key raw materials, including petroleum-based products, steel and copper. In recent years, we have generally been able to offset increases in raw material costs. Occasionally, we are subject to long-term supplier contracts, which may increase our exposure to pricing fluctuations. We use forward contracts to manage our exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials ("commodity contracts"). See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on commodity contracts.
Due to our diverse products and services, as well as the wide geographic dispersion of our production facilities, we use numerous sources for the raw materials needed in our operations. We are not significantly dependent on any one or a limited number of suppliers, and we have been able to obtain suitable quantities of raw materials at competitive prices.
Competition
Our competitive position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by reportable or operating segment since we and our competitors do not offer all the same product lines or serve all the same markets. In addition, specific reliable comparative figures are not available for many of our competitors. In most product groups, competition comes from numerous concerns, both large and small. The principal methods of competition are service, product performance, technical 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 as they apply to the various products and services offered. See "Reportable Segments" above for a discussion of our competitors.

Environmental Matters
See "MD&A — Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates — Contingent Liabilities," "Risk Factors" and Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding environmental matters.
Employment
At December 31, 2015, we had over 6,000 employees. Six domestic collective bargaining agreements covered approximately 1,000 employees. We also had various collective labor arrangements as of that date covering certain non-U.S. employee groups. While we generally have experienced satisfactory labor relations, we are subject to potential union campaigns, work stoppages, union negotiations and other potential labor disputes.
Executive Officers
See Part III, Item 10 of this report for information about our executive officers.
Other Matters
No customer or group of customers that, to our knowledge, are under common control accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for any period presented.
Our businesses maintain sufficient levels of working capital to support customer requirements, particularly inventory. We believe our businesses' sales and payment terms are generally similar to those of our competitors.
Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets they serve. In addition, certain businesses have seasonal fluctuations. Historically, our businesses generally tend to be stronger in the second half of the year.
Our website address is www.spx.com. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference herein. We file reports with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and certain amendments to these reports. Copies of these reports are available free of charge on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we file the reports with the SEC. The SEC also maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Additionally, you may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
(All currency and share amounts are in millions)
You should consider the risks described below and elsewhere in our documents filed with the SEC before investing in any of our securities. We may amend, supplement or add to the risk factors described below from time to time in future reports filed with the SEC.
Many of the markets in which we operate are cyclical or are subject to industry events, and our results have been and could be affected as a result.
Many of the markets in which we operate are subject to general economic cycles or industry events. In addition, certain of our businesses are subject to market-specific cycles, including, but not limited to:
HVAC;
Power generation products; and
Power transmission and distribution products.

In addition, contract timing on large projects, including those relating to power generation equipment, power transmission and distribution systems, communications technology, and cooling systems and towers, may cause significant fluctuations in revenues and profits from period to period.
The businesses of many of our customers, particularly power and energy and general industrial companies, are to varying degrees cyclical and have experienced, and may continue to experience, periodic downturns. Cyclical changes and specific industry events could also affect sales of products in our other businesses. Downturns in the business cycles of our different operations may occur at the same time, which could exacerbate any adverse effects on our business. See "MD&A - Results of Reportable Segments." In addition, certain of our businesses have seasonal fluctuations. Historically, some of our key businesses generally tend to be stronger in the second half of the year.
Cost overruns, inflation, delays and other risks could significantly impact our results, particularly with respect to long-term fixed-price contracts.
 A portion of our revenues and earnings is generated through long-term fixed-price contracts, particularly in our power generation businesses within our Power segment. We recognize revenues from certain of these contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting whereby revenues and expenses, and thereby profit, in a given period are determined based on our estimates as to the project status and the costs remaining to complete a particular project.
Estimates of total revenues and cost at completion are subject to many variables, including the length of time to complete a contract. In addition, contract delays may negatively impact these estimates and our revenues and earnings results for affected periods.
To the extent that we underestimate the remaining cost to complete a project, we may overstate the revenues and profit in a particular period. Further, certain of these contracts provide for penalties or liquidated damages for failure to timely perform our obligations under the contract, or require that we, at our expense, correct and remedy to the satisfaction of the other party certain defects. Because some of our long-term contracts are at a fixed price, we face the risk that cost overruns or inflation may exceed, erode or eliminate our expected profit margin, or cause us to record a loss on our projects.
Our large power projects in South Africa are an example of these types of long-term-contract-related risks. These projects, which have already experienced significant delays from their initial target completion dates, involve a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, the prime contractors, and the various subcontractors and suppliers. Although we believe that our current estimates of costs relating to these projects are reasonable, we cannot assure you that additional costs will not arise as these projects are completed.
Our business depends on capital investment and maintenance expenditures by our customers.
Demand for most of our products and services depends on the level of new capital investment and planned maintenance expenditures by our customers. The level of capital expenditures by our customers fluctuates based on planned expansions, new builds, and repairs, commodity prices, general economic conditions, availability of credit, and expectations of future market behavior. Any of these factors, whether individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our customers and, in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

6



Our customers could be impacted by commodity availability and prices.
A number of factors outside our control, including fluctuating commodity prices, impact the demand for our products. Increased commodity prices may increase our customers' cost of doing business, thus causing them to delay or cancel large capital projects.
On the other hand, declining commodity prices may cause our customers to delay or cancel projects relating to the production of such commodities. For example, recent declines in oil prices have led to reduced demand for certain of our power generation products. Reduced demand for our products and services could result in the delay or cancellation of existing orders or lead to excess manufacturing capacity, which unfavorably impacts our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. This reduced demand may also erode average selling prices in the relevant market.
The price and availability of raw materials may adversely affect our business.
We are exposed to a variety of risks relating to the price and availability of raw materials. In recent years, we have faced volatility in the prices of many of our key raw materials, including copper, steel and oil. Increases in the prices of raw materials or shortages or allocations of materials may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, as we may not be able to pass cost increases on to our customers, or our sales may be reduced. We are subject to, or may enter into, long-term supplier contracts that may increase our exposure to pricing fluctuations.
Credit and counterparty risks could harm our business.
The financial condition of our customers and distributors could affect our ability to market our products or collect receivables. In addition, financial difficulties faced by our customers may lead to cancellations or delays of orders.
Our customers may suffer financial difficulties that make them unable to pay for a project when completed, or they may decide not or be unable to pay us, either as a matter of corporate decision-making or in response to changes in local laws and regulations. We cannot assure you that expenses or losses for uncollectible amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our revenues, earnings and cash flows.
We operate in highly competitive markets. Our failure to compete effectively could harm our business.
We sell our products in highly competitive markets, which could result in pressure on our profit margins and limit our ability to maintain or increase the market share of our products. We compete on a number of fronts, including on the basis of product offerings, technical capabilities, quality, service and pricing. We have a number of competitors with substantial technological and financial resources, brand recognition and established relationships with global service providers. Some of our competitors have low cost structures, support from local governments, or both. In addition, new competitors may enter the markets in which we participate. Competitors may be able to offer lower prices, additional products or services or a more attractive mix of products or services, or services or other incentives that we cannot or will not match. These competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new or emerging technologies and may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, and make more attractive offers to potential customers, employees and strategic partners. In addition, competitive environments in slow-growth markets, to which some of our businesses have exposure, have been inherently more influenced by pricing and domestic and global economic conditions. To remain competitive, we must invest in manufacturing, marketing, customer service and support and our distribution networks. No assurances can be made that we will have sufficient resources to continue to make the investment required to maintain or increase our market share or that our investments will be successful. If we do not compete successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
The fact that we outsource various elements of the products and services we sell subjects us to the business risks of our suppliers and subcontractors, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations.
In areas where we depend on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for outsourced products, components or services, we are subject to the risk of customer dissatisfaction with the quality or performance of the products or services we sell due to supplier or subcontractor failure. In addition, business difficulties experienced by a third-party supplier or subcontractor can lead to the interruption of our ability to obtain outsourced products or services and ultimately our inability to supply products or services to our customers. Third-party supplier and subcontractor business interruptions can include, but are not limited to, work stoppages, union negotiations and other labor disputes. Current economic conditions could also impact the ability of suppliers and subcontractors to access credit and, thus, impair their ability to provide us quality products or services in a timely manner, or at all.

7



Worldwide economic conditions could negatively impact our businesses.
Many of our customers historically have tended to delay large capital projects, including expensive maintenance and upgrades, during economic downturns. Poor macroeconomic conditions could negatively impact our businesses by adversely affecting, among other things, our:
Revenues;
Margins;
Profits;
Cash flows;
Customers' orders, including order cancellation activity or delays on existing orders;
Customers' ability to access credit;
Customers' ability to pay amounts due to us; and
Suppliers' and distributors' ability to perform and the availability and costs of materials and subcontracted services.
Recent downturns in global economies could negatively impact our performance or any expectations in reporting performance.
Failure to protect or unauthorized use of our intellectual property may harm our business.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties or competitors may copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. The steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of our technology or knowledge, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as in the United States. Costs incurred to defend our rights may be material.
If we are unable to protect our information systems against data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted.
We are increasingly dependent on cloud-based and other information technology ("IT") networks and systems, some of which are managed by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information. We depend on such IT infrastructure for electronic communications among our locations around the world and between our personnel and suppliers and customers. In addition, we rely on these IT systems to record, process, summarize, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities, including, among other things, our accounting and financial functions, including maintaining our internal controls; our manufacturing and supply chain processes; our sales and marketing efforts; and the data related to our research and development efforts. The failure of our IT systems or those of our business partners or third-party service providers to perform properly, or difficulties encountered in the development of new systems or the upgrade of existing systems, could disrupt our business and harm our reputation, which may result in decreased sales, increased overhead costs, excess or obsolete inventory, and product shortages, causing our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results to suffer. Upon expiration or termination of any of our agreements with third-party vendors, we may not be able to replace the services provided to us in a timely manner or on terms and conditions, including service levels and cost, that are favorable to us, and a transition from one vendor to another vendor could subject us to operational delays and inefficiencies until the transition is complete.
Despite our implementation of security measures, cybersecurity threats, such as malicious software, phishing attacks, computer viruses and attempts to gain unauthorized access, cannot be completely mitigated. Security breaches of our, our customers' and our vendors' IT infrastructure can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including our intellectual property, trade secrets, customer information or other confidential business information. Likewise, data privacy breaches by employees and others with both permitted and unauthorized access to our systems may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public, or may be permanently lost. Accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access by third parties of our facilities, our information systems or the systems of our cloud-based or other service providers, or the existence of computer viruses or malware in our or their data or software, could expose us to a risk of information loss and misappropriation of proprietary and confidential information, including information relating to our customers and the personal information of our employees. If we or our third-party service providers fail to keep customers’ proprietary information and documentation confidential, we may lose existing customers and potential new customers and may expose them to significant loss of revenue based on the premature release of confidential information.
Information technology security threats are increasing in frequency and sophistication. Cyber-attacks may be random, coordinated, or targeted, including sophisticated computer crime threats. These threats pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks, and those of our business partners and third- party service providers, and to

8



the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data. Our business, reputation, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if, as a result of a significant cyber event or otherwise, our operations are disrupted or shutdown; our confidential, proprietary information is stolen or disclosed; the performance or security of our cloud-based product offerings is impacted; our intranet and internet sites are compromised; data is manipulated or destroyed; we incur costs or are required to pay fines in connection with stolen customer, employee, or other confidential information; we must dedicate significant resources to system repairs or increase cyber security protection; or we otherwise incur significant litigation or other costs.
Currency conversion risk could have a material impact on our reported results of business operations.
Our operating results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies in which we conduct business could result in unfavorable translation effects as the results of transactions in foreign countries are translated into U.S. dollars. Increased strength of the U.S. dollar will increase the effective price of our products sold in U.S. dollars into other countries, which may have a material adverse effect on sales or require us to lower our prices, and also decrease our reported revenues or margins related to sales conducted in foreign currencies to the extent we are unable or determine not to increase local currency prices. Likewise, decreased strength of the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on the cost of materials and products purchased overseas.
We are subject to laws, regulations and potential liability relating to claims, complaints and proceedings, including those relating to environmental, product liability and other matters.
We are subject to various laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements of government authorities in the United States and other nations. With respect to acquisitions, divestitures and continuing operations, we may acquire or retain liabilities of which we are not aware, or which are of a different character or magnitude than expected. Additionally, changes in laws, ordinances, regulations or other governmental policies may significantly increase our expenses and liabilities.
We face environmental exposures including, for example, those relating to discharges from and materials handled as part of our operations, the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by petroleum products or hazardous substances or wastes, and the health and safety of our employees. We may be liable for the costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous substances or petroleum products on, under, or in our current or formerly owned or leased properties, or from third-party disposal facilities that we may have used, without regard to whether we knew of, or caused, the presence of the contaminants. The presence of, or failure to properly remediate, these substances may have adverse effects, including, for example, substantial investigative or remedial obligations and limitations on the ability to sell or rent affected property or to borrow funds using affected property as collateral. New or existing environmental matters or changes in environmental laws or policies could lead to material costs for environmental compliance or cleanup. In addition, environmentally related product regulations are growing globally in number and complexity and could contribute to increased costs with respect to disclosure requirements, product sales and distribution related costs, and post-sale recycling and disposal costs. There can be no assurance that these liabilities and costs will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business have been asserted or are pending against us or certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, “claims”). These claims relate to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property, and competitive claims), environmental matters, product liability matters (predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials), and other risk management matters (e.g., general liability, automobile, and workers' compensation claims). From time to time, we face actions by governmental authorities, both in and outside the United States. Additionally, we may become subject to other claims of which we are currently unaware, which may be significant, or the claims of which we are aware may result in our incurring significantly greater loss than we anticipate. Our insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures.
We devote significant time and expense to defend against the various claims, complaints and proceedings brought against us, and we cannot assure you that the expenses or distractions from operating our businesses arising from these defenses will not increase materially.
We cannot assure you that our accruals and right to indemnity and insurance will be sufficient, that recoveries from insurance or indemnification claims will be available or that any of our current or future claims or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
See "MD&A - Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates - Contingent Liabilities" and Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Governmental laws and regulations could negatively affect our business.
Changes in laws and regulations to which we are or may become subject could have a significant negative impact on our business. In addition, we could face material costs and risks if it is determined that we have failed to comply with relevant law and regulation. We are subject to U.S. Customs and Export Regulations, including U.S. International Traffic and Arms Regulations and similar laws, which collectively control import, export and sale of technologies by companies and various other aspects of the operation of our business; the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws, which prohibit companies from making improper payments to government officials for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business; and the California Transparency in Supply Chain Act and similar laws and regulations which related to human trafficking and anti-slavery and impose new compliance requirements on our businesses and their suppliers. While our policies and procedures mandate compliance with such laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that our employees and agents will always act in strict compliance. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations may result in civil and criminal enforcement, including monetary fines and possible injunctions against shipment of product or other of our activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, laws and regulations have increasingly focused on supply chain transparency. As part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the SEC has promulgated disclosure requirements regarding the use of certain minerals (tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold), which are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries, known as conflict minerals. Certain of our products contain gold, tungsten and tin. As a result, we must annually publicly disclose whether we manufacture any products that contain conflict minerals. Additionally, customers typically rely on us to provide critical data regarding the parts they purchase, including conflict mineral information. Our material sourcing is broad-based and multi-tiered, and it is difficult to verify the origins for conflict minerals used in the products we sell. We have many suppliers and each may provide conflict mineral information in a different manner, if at all. Accordingly, because the supply chain is complex, we may face reputational challenges from being unable to sufficiently verify the origins of conflict minerals used in our products.
Changes in tax laws and regulations or other factors could cause our income tax rate to increase, potentially reducing our net income and adversely affecting our cash flows.
As a global manufacturing company, we are subject to taxation in various jurisdictions around the world. In preparing our financial statements, we calculate our effective income tax rate based on current tax laws and regulations and the estimated taxable income within each of these jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate, however, may be higher due to numerous factors, including changes in tax laws or regulations. An effective income tax rate significantly higher than our expectations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and liquidity.
Officials in some of the jurisdictions in which we do business have proposed, or announced that they are reviewing, tax changes that could potentially increase taxes, and other revenue-raising laws and regulations, including those that may be enacted as a result of the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project. Any such changes in tax laws or regulations could impose new restrictions, costs or prohibitions on existing practices as well as reduce our net income and adversely affect our cash flows.
The loss of key personnel and an inability to attract and retain qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
We are dependent on the continued services of our leadership team. The loss of these personnel without adequate replacement could have a material adverse effect on our operations. A substantial portion of our executive leadership team moved to SPX FLOW upon the completion of the Spin-Off and were replaced by a new leadership team, which may cause a disruption to or adversely impact our business. Additionally, we need qualified managers and skilled employees with technical and manufacturing industry experience in many locations in order to operate our business successfully. From time to time, there may be a shortage of skilled labor, which may make it more difficult and expensive for us to attract and retain qualified employees. If we were unable to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals or our costs to do so were to increase significantly, our operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our indebtedness may affect our business and may restrict our operating flexibility.
At December 31, 2015, we had $373.8 in total indebtedness. On that same date, we had $301.9 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities, after giving effect to $48.1 reserved for outstanding letters of credit, and $40.1 of available borrowing capacity under our trade receivables financing arrangement. In addition, at December 31, 2015, we had $224.1 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $275.9 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 2015, our cash and equivalents balance was $101.4. See MD&A and Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future, including indebtedness incurred to finance, or assumed in connection with, acquisitions. We may renegotiate or refinance our senior credit facilities or other debt facilities, or enter into additional agreements that have different or more stringent terms. The level of our indebtedness could:
Impact our ability to obtain new, or refinance existing, indebtedness, on favorable terms or at all;
Limit our ability to obtain, or obtain on favorable terms, additional debt financing for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions;
Limit our flexibility in reacting to competitive and other changes in the industry and economic conditions;
Limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in the future;
Coupled with a substantial decrease in net operating cash flows due to economic developments or adverse developments in our business, make it difficult to meet debt service requirements; and
Expose us to interest rate fluctuations to the extent existing borrowings are, and any new borrowings may be, at variable rates of interest, which could result in higher interest expense and interest payments in the event of increases in interest rates.
Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal or pay interest on, or to refinance, our indebtedness and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend upon our future operating performance, which may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, business and other factors beyond our control. In addition, we cannot assure you that future borrowings or equity financing will be available for the payment or refinancing of our indebtedness. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, whether in the ordinary course of business or upon an acceleration of such indebtedness, we may pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital expenditures, revising implementation of or delaying strategic plans or seeking additional equity capital. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. In addition, we cannot assure that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements, or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our various debt agreements.
Numerous banks in many countries are syndicate members in our credit facility. Failure of one or more of our larger lenders, or several of our smaller lenders, could significantly reduce availability of our credit, which could harm our liquidity.
We may not be able to finance future needs or adapt our business plan to react to changes in economic or business conditions because of restrictions placed on us by our senior credit facilities and any existing or future instruments governing our other indebtedness.
Our senior credit facilities and agreements governing our other indebtedness contain, or future or revised instruments may contain, various restrictions and covenants that limit our ability to make distributions or other payments to our investors and creditors unless certain financial tests or other criteria are satisfied. We also must comply with certain specified financial ratios and tests. Our subsidiaries may also be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us. In addition, our senior credit facilities and agreements governing our other indebtedness contain or may contain additional affirmative and negative covenants. Material existing restrictions are described more fully in the MD&A and Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements. Each of these restrictions could affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities, such as acquisitions.
If we do not comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our senior credit facilities and agreements governing our other indebtedness, we could default under those agreements, and the debt, together with accrued interest, could be declared due and payable. If we default under our senior credit facilities, the lenders could cause all our outstanding debt obligations under our senior credit facilities to become due and payable or require us to repay the indebtedness under these facilities. If our debt is accelerated, we may not be able to repay or refinance our debt. In addition, any default under our senior credit facilities or agreements governing our other indebtedness could lead to an acceleration of debt under other debt instruments that contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions. If the indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is accelerated, we may not have sufficient assets to repay amounts due under our senior credit facilities or other debt securities then outstanding. Our ability to comply with these provisions

11



of our senior credit facilities and agreements governing our other indebtedness will be affected by changes in the economic or business conditions or other events beyond our control. Complying with our covenants may also cause us to take actions that are not favorable to us and may make it more difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy and compete, including against companies that are not subject to such restrictions.
Difficulties presented by international economic, political, legal, accounting and business factors could negatively affect our business.
In 2015, approximately 27% of our revenues were generated outside the United States. As part of our strategy, we manage businesses with manufacturing facilities worldwide. Our reliance on non-U.S. revenues and non-U.S. manufacturing bases exposes us to a number of risks, including:
Significant competition could come from local or long-term participants in non-U.S. markets who may have significantly greater market knowledge and substantially greater resources than we do;
Local customers may have a preference for locally-produced products;
Failure to comply with U.S. or non-U.S. laws regulating trade, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and other anti-corruption laws, could result in adverse consequences, including fines, criminal sanctions, or loss of access to markets;
Credit risk or financial condition of local customers and distributors could affect our ability to market our products or collect receivables;
Regulatory or political systems or barriers may make it difficult or impossible to enter or remain in new markets. In addition, these barriers may impact our existing businesses, including making it more difficult for them to grow;
Local political, economic and social conditions, including the possibility of hyperinflationary conditions, political instability, nationalization of private enterprises, or unexpected changes relating to currency could adversely impact our operations;
Customs and tariffs may make it difficult or impossible for us to move our products or assets across borders in a cost-effective manner;
Transportation and shipping expenses add cost to our products;
Complications related to shipping, including delays due to weather, labor action, or customs, may impact our profit margins or lead to lost business;
Government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions such as anti-dumping duties, as well as the imposition of trade sanctions by the United States or the European Union against a class of products imported from or sold and exported to, or the loss of "normal trade relations" status with, countries in which we conduct business, could significantly increase our cost of products imported into the United States or Europe or reduce our sales and harm our business;
Environmental and other laws and regulations could increase our costs or limit our ability to run our business;
Our ability to obtain supplies from foreign vendors and ship products internationally may be impaired during times of crisis or otherwise;
Local, regional or worldwide hostilities could impact our operations; and
Distance, language and cultural differences may make it more difficult to manage our business and employees and to effectively market our products and services.
Any of the above factors or other factors affecting social and economic activity in China, South Africa and other emerging markets or affecting the movement of people and products into and from these countries to our major markets, including North America and Europe, could have a significant negative effect on our operations.
Dispositions or our failure to successfully complete dispositions could negatively affect us.
Our dispositions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of management attention from running our core businesses, increased expense associated with the dispositions, potential disputes with the customers or suppliers of the disposed businesses, potential disputes with the acquirers of the disposed businesses and a potential dilutive effect on our earnings per share.
If dispositions are not completed in a timely manner, there may be a negative effect on our cash flows and/or our ability to execute our strategy. In addition, we may not realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Spin-Off of SPX FLOW or our other dispositions. See "Business," "MD&A - Results of Discontinued Operations," and Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the status of our divestitures.

12



Our failure to successfully complete acquisitions could negatively affect us.
We may not be able to consummate desired acquisitions, which could materially impact our growth rate, results of operations, future cash flows and stock price. Our ability to achieve our goals depends upon, among other things, our ability to identify and successfully acquire companies, businesses and product lines, to effectively integrate them and to achieve cost savings. We may also be unable to raise additional funds necessary to consummate these acquisitions. In addition, decreases in our stock price may adversely affect our ability to consummate acquisitions. Competition for acquisitions in our business areas may be significant and result in higher prices for businesses, including businesses that we may target, which may also affect our acquisition rate or benefits achieved from our acquisitions.
We may not achieve the expected cost savings and other benefits of our acquisitions.
We strive for and expect to achieve cost savings in connection with our acquisitions, including: (i) manufacturing process and supply chain rationalization, (ii) streamlining redundant administrative overhead and support activities, and (iii) restructuring and repositioning sales and marketing organizations to eliminate redundancies. Cost savings expectations are estimates that are inherently difficult to predict and are necessarily speculative in nature, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve expected, or any, cost savings. In addition, we cannot assure you that unforeseen factors will not offset the estimated cost savings or other benefits from our acquisitions. As a result, anticipated benefits could be delayed, differ significantly from our estimates and the other information contained in this report, or not be realized.
Our failure to successfully integrate acquisitions could have a negative effect on our operations; our acquisitions could cause financial difficulties.
Our acquisitions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:
Adverse effects on our reported operating results due to charges to earnings, including impairment charges associated with goodwill and other intangibles;
Diversion of management attention from core business operations;
Integration of technology, operations, personnel and financial and other systems;
Increased expenses;
Increased foreign operations, often with unique issues relating to corporate culture, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and other challenges;
Assumption of known and unknown liabilities and exposure to litigation;
Increased levels of debt or dilution to existing shareholders; and
Potential disputes with the sellers of acquired businesses, technology, services or products.
In addition, internal controls over financial reporting of acquired companies may not be compliant with required standards. Issues may exist that could rise to the level of significant deficiencies or, in some cases, material weaknesses, particularly with respect to foreign companies or non-public U.S. companies.
Our integration activities may place substantial demands on our management, operational resources and financial and internal control systems. Customer dissatisfaction or performance problems with an acquired business, technology, service or product could also have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.
Increases in the number of shares of our outstanding common stock could adversely affect our common stock price or dilute our earnings per share.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock into the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. As of December 31, 2015, we had the ability to issue up to an additional 0.470 shares as restricted stock shares, restricted stock units, or stock options under our 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended in 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2015, and our 2006 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, we may issue a significant number of additional shares, in connection with acquisitions or otherwise. We also may issue a significant number of additional shares, either through an existing shelf registration statement or through other mechanisms. Additional shares issued would have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share.
If the fair value of any of our reporting units is insufficient to recover the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangibles of the respective reporting unit, a material non-cash charge to earnings could result.
At December 31, 2015, we had goodwill and other intangible assets, net, of $516.0. We conduct annual impairment testing to determine if we will be able to recover all or a portion of the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived

13



intangibles. In addition, we review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment more frequently if impairment indicators arise. If the fair value is insufficient to recover the carrying value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, we may be required to record a material non-cash charge to earnings.
The fair values of our reporting units generally are based on discounted cash flow projections that are believed to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting units. Other considerations are also incorporated, including comparable price multiples. Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets that they serve. Accordingly, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future cash flow projections, including principal methods of competition such as volume, price, service, product performance and technical innovations and estimates associated with cost reduction initiatives, capacity utilization, and assumptions for inflation and foreign currency changes. We monitor impairment indicators across all of our businesses. Significant changes in market conditions and estimates or judgments used to determine expected future cash flows that indicate a reduction in carrying value may give, and have given, rise to impairments in the period that the change becomes known.
Cost reduction actions may affect our business.
Cost reduction actions often result in charges against earnings. These charges can vary significantly from period to period and, as a result, we may experience fluctuations in our reported net income and earnings per share due to the timing of restructuring actions.
Our technology is important to our success, and failure to develop new products may result in a significant competitive disadvantage.
We believe the development of our intellectual property rights is critical to the success of our business. In order to maintain our market positions and margins, we need to continually develop and introduce high quality, technologically advanced and cost-effective products on a timely basis, in many cases in multiple jurisdictions around the world. The failure to do so could result in a significant competitive disadvantage.
Our current and planned products may contain defects or errors that are detected only after delivery to customers. If that occurs, our reputation may be harmed and we may face additional costs.
We cannot assure you that our product development, manufacturing and integration testing will be adequate to detect all defects, errors, failures and quality issues that could impact customer satisfaction or result in claims against us with regard to our products. As a result, we may have, and from time to time have had, to replace certain components and/or provide remediation in response to the discovery of defects in products that are shipped. The occurrence of any defects, errors, failures or quality issues could result in cancellation of orders, product returns, diversion of our resources, legal actions by our customers or our customers' end users and other losses to us or to any of our customers or end users, and could also result in the loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and loss of sales, which would harm our business and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Changes in key estimates and assumptions related to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, such as discount rates, assumed long-term return on assets, assumed long-term trends of future cost, and accounting and legislative changes, as well as actual investment returns on our pension plan assets and other actuarial factors, could affect our results of operations and cash flows.
We have defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, including both qualified and non-qualified plans, which cover a portion of our salaried and hourly employees and retirees including a portion of our employees and retirees in foreign countries. As of December 31, 2015, these plans were underfunded by $204.9. The determination of funding requirements and pension expense or income associated with these plans involves significant judgment, particularly with respect to discount rates, long-term trends of future costs and other actuarial assumptions. If our assumptions change significantly due to changes in economic, legislative and/or demographic experience or circumstances, our pension and other benefit plans' expense, funded status and our required cash contributions to such plans could be negatively impacted. In addition, returns on plan assets could have a material impact on our pension plans' expense, funded status and our required contributions to the plans. Changes in regulations or law could also significantly impact our obligations. For example, See "MD&A - Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates" for the impact that changes in certain assumptions used in the calculation of our costs and obligations associated with these plans could have on our results of operations and financial position.
We are subject to work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and other matters associated with our labor force, which may adversely impact our operations and cause us to incur incremental costs.

14



At December 31, 2015, we had over 6,000 employees. Six domestic collective bargaining agreements covered approximately 1,000 employees. We also had various collective labor arrangements as of that date covering certain non-U.S. employee groups. We are subject to potential union campaigns, work stoppages, union negotiations and other potential labor disputes. Further, we may be subject to work stoppages, which are beyond our control, at our suppliers or customers.
Provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent a change in control of our company, and accordingly, we may not consummate a transaction that our shareholders consider favorable.
Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws may inhibit changes in control of our company not approved by our Board. These provisions include, for example: a staggered board of directors; a prohibition on shareholder action by written consent; a requirement that special shareholder meetings be called only by our Chairman, President or Board; advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and nominations; limitations on shareholders' ability to amend, alter or repeal the By-laws; enhanced voting requirements for certain business combinations involving substantial shareholders; the authority of our Board to issue, without shareholder approval, preferred stock with terms determined in its discretion; and limitations on shareholders' ability to remove directors. In addition, we are afforded the protections of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which could have similar effects. In general, Section 203 prohibits us from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested shareholder" (each as defined in Section 203) for at least three years after the time the person became an interested shareholder unless certain conditions are met. These protective provisions could result in our not consummating a transaction that our shareholders consider favorable or discourage entities from attempting to acquire us, potentially at a significant premium to our then-existing stock price.
Risks Related to our Spin-Off of SPX FLOW
Our business is less diversified following the Spin-Off of SPX FLOW.
Our operational and financial profile has changed as a result of the Spin-off of SPX FLOW. As a result, our diversification of revenue sources has diminished without the revenue previously generated by the Flow Technology reportable segment and Hydraulic Technologies business, and our results of operations, cash flows, working capital and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility. If we are unable to manage that volatility, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The Spin-Off of SPX FLOW could result in substantial tax liability to us and our stockholders.
In connection with the Spin-Off of SPX FLOW we received opinions of tax counsel satisfactory to us as to the tax-free treatment of the Spin-Off and certain related transactions. However, if the factual assumptions or representations upon which the opinions are based are inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, we will not be able to rely on the opinions. Furthermore, the opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or the courts. Accordingly, the IRS may challenge the conclusions set forth in the opinions and any such challenge could prevail. If, notwithstanding the opinions, the Spin-Off or a related transaction is determined to be taxable, we could be subject to a substantial tax liability. In addition, if the Spin-Off is determined to be taxable, each holder of our common stock who received shares of SPX FLOW would generally be treated as having received a taxable distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received.
Even if the Spin-Off otherwise qualifies as a tax-free transaction, the distribution could be taxable to us (but not to our stockholders) in certain circumstances if future significant acquisitions of our stock or the stock of SPX FLOW are determined to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Spin-Off. In this event, the resulting tax liability would be substantial. In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with SPX FLOW, under which SPX FLOW agreed (i) not to enter into any transaction without our consent that could cause the Spin-Off to be taxable to us, and (ii) to indemnify us for any tax liabilities resulting from such a transaction. The indemnity from SPX FLOW may not be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities. Any tax liabilities resulting from the Spin-Off or related transactions could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In connection with the Spin-Off, SPX FLOW will indemnify us for certain liabilities and we will indemnify SPX FLOW for certain liabilities. If we are required to act on these indemnities to SPX FLOW, we may need to divert cash to meet those obligations and our financial results could be negatively impacted. The SPX FLOW indemnity may not be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of liabilities for which we will be allocated responsibility, and SPX FLOW may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in the future.

15



Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement between us and SPX FLOW, SPX FLOW has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we have agreed to indemnify SPX FLOW for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts. Such indemnities may be significant and could negatively impact our business. Third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that SPX FLOW has assumed. Further, the indemnity from SPX FLOW may not be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities, and SPX FLOW may not be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from SPX FLOW any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses ourselves. Each of these risks could negatively materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
A court could require that we assume responsibility for obligations allocated to SPX under the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, both we and SPX FLOW are responsible for the debts, liabilities and other obligations related to the business or businesses which it owns and operates. Although we do not expect to be liable for any obligations that are not allocated to us under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, a court could disregard the allocation agreed to between the parties, and require that we assume responsibility for obligations allocated to SPX FLOW, particularly if SPX FLOW were to refuse or were unable to pay or perform the allocated obligations.
Certain of our executive officers and directors may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their prior relationships with SPX FLOW executive officers and directors, their current affiliation with SPX FLOW, or their ownership of SPX FLOW equity.
Certain of our executive officers and directors have served on other boards with or are former subordinate employees of the directors, officers or employees of SPX FLOW and thus have professional relationships with SPX FLOW’s executive officers and directors. One of our directors also serves on the board of directors of SPX FLOW. In addition, the majority of our executive officers have a financial interest in SPX FLOW as a result of their beneficial ownership of SPX FLOW equity. These relationships and financial interests may create, or may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest when these directors and officers face decisions that could have different implications for SPX FLOW than for us.
We might have been able to receive better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms we receive in our agreements with SPX FLOW.
The agreements related to the Spin-Off, including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Trademark License Agreement, and any other agreements, were negotiated in the context of our Spin-Off of SPX FLOW while it was still our subsidiary and under common executive leadership with us. Substantially all of our executive leadership team moved to SPX FLOW upon the completion of the Spin-Off. Although these agreements are intended to be on an arm's-length basis, they may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm's-length negotiations among unaffiliated third parties. The terms of the agreements negotiated in the context of the Spin-Off concern, among other things, allocations of assets, liabilities, rights, indemnifications and other obligations among SPX FLOW and us.
The Spin-Off may expose us to potential liabilities arising out of state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal dividend requirements.
The Spin-Off is subject to review under various state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws. Fraudulent conveyance laws generally provide that an entity engages in a constructive fraudulent conveyance when (1) the entity transfers assets and does not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in return, and (2) the entity (a) is insolvent at the time of the transfer or is rendered insolvent by the transfer, (b) has unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business, or (c) intends to incur or believes it will incur debts beyond its ability to repay its debts as they mature. An unpaid creditor or an entity acting on behalf of a creditor (including, without limitation, a trustee or debtor-in-possession in a bankruptcy by us or SPX FLOW or any of our respective subsidiaries) may bring a lawsuit alleging that the Spin-Off or any of the related transactions constituted a constructive fraudulent conveyance. If a court accepts these allegations, it could impose a number of remedies, including, without limitation, voiding the distribution and returning SPX FLOW’s assets or SPX FLOW’s shares and subject us to liability.
The measure of insolvency for purposes of the fraudulent conveyance laws will vary depending on which jurisdiction's law is applied. Generally, an entity would be considered insolvent if (1) the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities); (2) the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than its probable liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured; (3) it cannot

16



pay its debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) as they mature; or (4) it has unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged. We cannot assure you what standard a court would apply to determine insolvency or that a court would determine that we, SPX FLOW or any of our respective subsidiaries were solvent at the time of or after giving effect to the Spin-Off.
The distribution of SPX FLOW common stock is also subject to review under state corporate distribution statutes. Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), a corporation may only pay dividends to its shareholders either (1) out of its surplus (net assets) or (2) if there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.
Although we believe that we and SPX FLOW were each solvent at the time of the Spin-Off (including immediately after the distribution of shares of SPX FLOW common stock), that we are able to repay our debts as they mature and have sufficient capital to carry on our businesses, and that the distribution was made entirely out of surplus in accordance with Section 170 of the DGCL, we cannot assure you that a court would reach the same conclusions in determining whether SPX FLOW or we were insolvent at the time of, or after giving effect to, the Spin-Off, or whether lawful funds were available for the separation and the distribution to our shareholders.

The actual amount of each quarterly dividend, as well as each declaration date, record date and payment date is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, and the target dividend level may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The factors the Board of Directors consider in determining the actual amount of each quarterly dividend include our financial performance and ongoing capital needs, our ability to declare and pay dividends, and other factors deemed relevant. In connection with the Spin-Off, we discontinued dividend payments immediately following the second quarter dividend payment for 2015 and do not expect to resume dividend payments for the foreseeable future.
There were no repurchases of common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2015. The number of shareholders of record of our common stock as of February 19, 2016 was 3,520.

___________________________________________________________________
(1) 
During 2015 and 2014, we made revisions to expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa. These revisions resulted in a reduction of revenue and operating income of $57.2 and $95.0 in 2015 and a reduction in revenue and operating profit of $25.0 in 2014. See Notes 5 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

21



(2) 
During 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recognized income (expense) related to changes in the fair value of plan assets, actuarial gains (losses), settlement gains (losses) and curtailment gains of $(16.0), $(95.8), $3.2, $(141.5) and $(42.8), respectively, associated with our pension and postretirement benefit plans.
(3) 
During 2015, we recorded an impairment charge of $13.7 related to the goodwill of our Balcke Duerr reporting unit.
During 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $10.9 related to the trademarks of a business within our Power reportable segment. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $18.0 related to our Cooling Power reporting unit's investment in the Shanghai Electric joint venture.
During 2012, we recorded impairment charges of $281.4 associated with the goodwill $(270.4) and other long-term assets $(11.0) of our Cooling Power reporting unit. In addition, we recorded impairment charges totaling $4.5 related to trademarks for two businesses within our Power and HVAC reportable segments.
During 2011, we recorded impairment charges of $28.3, $20.8 of which related to the impairment of goodwill and $7.5 of which related to the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets of our SPX Heat Transfer reporting unit within our Power reportable segment.
See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of impairment charges associated with goodwill and other long-term assets.
(4) 
During 2014, we completed the sale of our 44.5% interest in EGS to Emerson Electric Co. for cash proceeds of $574.1, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $491.2. Accordingly, we recognized no equity earnings from this joint venture after 2013. Our equity earnings from this investment totaled $41.9, $39.0 and $28.7 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
(5) 
During 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recognized gains (losses) of $(1.6), $(2.6), $(0.3), $6.2 and $(1.4), respectively, associated with foreign currency forward contracts ("FX forward contracts") and currency forward embedded derivatives ("FX embedded derivatives").
During 2012, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $20.5 associated with the deconsolidation of our dry cooling business in China.
During 2011, we recorded a charge of $19.4 associated with amounts that are deemed uncollectible from an insolvent insurer for certain risk management matters. Of the $19.4 charge, $18.2 was recorded to "Other income (expense), net" and $1.2 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax."
(6) 
During the third quarter of 2015, we refinanced our credit facility in preparation of the Spin-Off. As a result of the refinancing, we recorded a charge of $1.4 during 2015, which consisted of the write-off of a portion of the unamortized deferred financing fees related to our prior credit agreement.
During the first quarter of 2014, we completed the redemption of all of 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 associated with the loss on early extinguishment of debt, which related to premiums paid to redeem the senior notes of $30.6, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.0, and other costs associated with the extinguishment of the senior notes of $0.9.
(7) 
During 2015, our income tax provision was impacted by (i) the effects of approximately $139.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the year (the majority of which relate to our large projects in South Africa) for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely, (ii) $3.7 of foreign taxes incurred during the year related to the Spin-Off and the reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the Spin-Off, and (iii) $3.4 of taxes related to various audit settlements, statute expirations, and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
During 2014, our income tax provision was impacted by the U.S. income taxes provided in connection with the $491.2 gain on the sale of our interest in EGS and income tax charges of $33.8 related to net increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets. In addition, our income tax provision was impacted unfavorably by a low effective tax rate on foreign losses. The impact of these items was partially offset by the following income tax benefits: (i) $16.2 of tax benefits related to various audit settlements, statute expirations and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions, with the most notable being the closure of our U.S. tax examination for the years 2008 through 2011, and (ii) $6.4 of tax benefits related to a loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary.

22



During 2013, our income tax benefit was favorably impacted by the following benefits: (i) $9.5 related to net reductions in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets; (ii) $4.1 related to various audit settlements and statute expirations; and (iii) $4.1 associated with the Research and Experimentation Credit generated in 2012.
During 2012, our income tax provision was impacted by an income tax benefit of $26.3 associated with the $281.4 impairment charge recorded for our Cooling reporting unit, as the majority of the goodwill for the Cooling reporting unit has no basis for income tax purposes. Additionally, the 2012 income tax provision was negatively impacted by (i) taxes provided of $9.4 on foreign dividends and undistributed earnings that were no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested; (ii) incremental tax expense of $6.1 associated with the deconsolidation of our dry cooling business in China, as the goodwill allocated to the transaction was not deductible for income tax purposes; and (iii) valuation allowances that were recorded against deferred income tax assets during the year of $5.4.
During 2011, we adopted an alternative method of allocating certain expenses between foreign and domestic sources for federal income tax purposes. As a result of this election, we determined that it was more likely than not that we would be able to utilize our existing foreign tax credits within the remaining carryforward period. Accordingly, during 2011, we released the valuation allowance on our foreign tax credit carryforwards, resulting in an income tax benefit of $38.5. In addition, during 2011, we recorded income tax benefits of $2.5 associated with the conclusion of a Canadian appeals process and $7.7 of tax credits related to the expansion of our power transformer plant in Waukesha, WI. These tax benefits were offset partially by a $6.9 provision for federal income taxes in connection with our plan to repatriate a portion of the earnings of a foreign subsidiary.
(8) 
During 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recognized income (expense) related to changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains (losses), net of tax, of $(0.7), $(6.7), $0.0, $(7.5) and $(5.7), respectively, in "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax" associated with our pension and postretirement benefit plans.
During 2015, we completed the Spin-Off of SPX FLOW. The operating results of SPX FLOW are presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented.
During 2014, we sold our Thermal Product Solutions, SPX Precision Components, and Fenn LLC businesses, resulting in an aggregate gain of $14.4.
During 2012, we sold our Service Solutions business to Robert Bosch GmbH, resulting in a net gain of $313.4. In addition, we allocated $8.0 of interest expense to discontinued operations during 2012 related to term loan amounts that were required to be repaid in connection with the sale of Service Solutions.
See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our discontinued operations.
(9) 
In connection with the Spin-Off, we discontinued dividend payments immediately following the dividend payment for the second quarter of 2015.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
(All currency and share amounts are in millions)
The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in Item 7 pertain to continuing operations only.
Executive Overview
Spin-Off of SPX FLOW
On September 26, 2015, we completed the spin-off of SPX FLOW (the "Spin-Off"). The results of SPX FLOW are reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. During 2015 and 2014, we incurred $30.8 and $8.5, respectively, of professional fees and other costs in connection with the Spin-Off. These costs have been reflected within discontinued operations.
New Segment Reporting Structure
During the third quarter of 2015, we realigned our segment reporting structure. Under the realigned structure, we have aggregated our operating segments into the following three reportable segments: HVAC, Detection and Measurement, and Power. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on our new segment reporting structure.
Summary of Operating Results
Revenues for 2015 were 12.0% lower than 2014, with the decrease attributable to a decline in organic revenue, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar in 2015, and a third quarter 2015 revision to the expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa, which resulted in a reduction in revenues of $57.2. The organic revenue decline of $125.0 (or 6.5%) was primarily attributable to lower sales by certain businesses within our Power segment, while the stronger U.S. dollar during 2015 resulted in a decrease in revenues of $76.0 (or 3.9%). During 2015 and 2014, we incurred operating losses of $170.0 and $179.5, respectively. Operating results for 2015 and 2014 were impacted by the following significant items:
Reductions in operating profit of $95.0 and $25.0 in 2015 and 2014, respectively, associated with revisions to our estimates of expected revenue and profit on our large power projects in South Africa. See Notes 5 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Net charges associated with our pension and postretirement plans of $18.9 and $106.1 in 2015 and 2014, respectively, with the largest portion of the charges resulting from actuarial losses recorded during each of the years. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Impairment charges of $13.7 and $28.9 in 2015 and 2014, respectively, associated with the goodwill and other long-term assets of certain businesses within our Power segment. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Special charges during 2015 and 2014 of $17.8 and $9.3, respectively, for severance and other costs associated with restructuring actions primarily within our Power segment. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
The operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 also included corporate expenses of $100.8 and $131.7, respectively. These general overhead costs included amounts related to a corporate structure that supported the SPX business prior to the Spin-Off. A portion of these costs relate to support that was provided to SPX FLOW and, thus, we expect future corporate expenses for SPX to be significantly lower than the recent historical trends.
Cash flows used in continuing operations totaled $82.0 in 2015, compared to $323.3 in 2014. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities was due primarily to the fact that the amount for 2014 included income tax payments of $235.0 associated with the 2014 sales of our interest in the EGS Electrical Group LLC and Subsidiaries (“EGS”) joint venture and the Thermal Product Solutions (“TPS”), SPX Precision Components (“Precision Components”), and Fenn LLC (“Fenn”) businesses. Cash used in continuing operations for both 2015 and 2014 included

24



disbursements for general corporate overhead costs related to a corporate structure that supported the SPX business prior to the Spin-Off. As previously noted, a portion of these costs relate to support that was provided to SPX FLOW and, thus, we expect future disbursements for general corporate overhead to be significantly lower than the recent historical trends.

Other Matters of Note
Summarized below are some additional matters of note that had an impact on our financial results for the periods presented herein:
As indicated in Notes 1 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements, we identified certain misstatements associated with previously reported amounts. We have evaluated the effects of these misstatements on our consolidated financial statements for the prior years impacted in accordance with the guidance provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, codified as SAB Topic 1.N, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements,” and concluded that none of these prior years are materially misstated. To correct these misstatements, and as permitted by SAB Topic 1.N, we have restated prior period consolidated financial results included herein. Specifically, we have decreased income from continuing operations (and net income attributable to SPX Corporation common shareholders) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by $4.5 and $0.3, respectively, when compared to the amounts previously reported.
As indicated in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements, we entered into a new credit agreement in connection with the Spin-Off. As a result, we recorded a charge of $1.4 during 2015 associated with the write-off of a portion of the deferred financing costs related to our prior credit agreement.
As indicated in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements, in connection with the Spin-Off, we modified certain outstanding restricted stock unit awards with a market condition. As a result of the modification, we recorded additional stock compensation expense of $2.1 during 2015.
Results of Continuing Operations
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. In addition, certain of our businesses have seasonal fluctuations. Our heating and ventilation business tends to be stronger in the third and fourth quarters, as customer buying habits are driven largely by seasonal weather patterns. Demand for cooling towers used in power generation applications, along with the related services, is highly correlated to the timing of large construction contracts and power plant outages, 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 the impact of the revenue reduction that resulted from the third quarter 2015 and fourth quarter 2014 revisions to the expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa. 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 years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, including the reconciliation of organic revenue decline to net revenue decline:

Not meaningful for comparison purposes.
Revenues — For 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2014, was due to a decline in organic revenue, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, and a reduction in revenues associated with our large power projects in South Africa. The decline in organic revenue was due primarily to lower sales by businesses within our Power segment (See “Results of Reportable Segments” for additional details). The reduction in revenue associated with our large power projects in South Africa resulted from a third quarter 2015 revision to the expected revenue and profits on the projects, which resulted in a reduction of revenue of $57.2.
For 2014, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2013, was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and a reduction in revenue associated with our large power projects in South Africa, partially offset by an increase in organic revenue. The reduction in revenue associated with our large power projects in South Africa resulted from a fourth quarter 2014 revision to the expected revenue and profits on the projects, which resulted in a reduction of revenue of $25.0. The increase in organic revenue was attributable to higher sales within our HVAC and Power segments, partially offset by a decline in sales within our Detection and Measurement segment. See “Results of Reportable Segments” for additional details.
Gross Profit — The decrease in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue in 2015, compared to 2014, was primarily due to the reduction in gross profit associated with our large power projects in South Africa and, to a lesser extent, the decline in organic revenue noted above. The reduction in gross profit associated with our large power projects in South Africa resulted from a third quarter 2015 revision to the expected revenue and profits on the projects, which resulted in a reduction in gross profit of $95.0.
The decrease in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue in 2014 compared to 2013, was primarily due to (i) the fourth quarter 2014 revision to the expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa, which resulted in a reduction in gross profit of $25.0, (ii) lower sales of fare collection systems during 2014, and (iii) an increase in sales of lower margin power transformers during 2014.—
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expense — For 2015, the decrease in SG&A expense, compared to 2014, was due primarily to a decline in pension and postretirement expense of $86.5 (an overall decrease in pension and postretirement expense of $87.2, with $0.7 included in "Cost of products sold") and, to a lesser extent, a decline in corporate expense of $30.9 and a decline in SG&A at our segments associated with cost savings from restructuring

26



activities, decreases in incentive compensation, and the impact of currency translation. The decrease in pension and postretirement expense in 2015 was due to a decrease in actuarial losses during the year.
For 2014, the increase in SG&A expense, compared to 2013, was due primarily to an increase in pension and postretirement expense of $123.6 (an overall increase in pension and postretirement expense of $128.7, with $5.1 included in "Cost of products sold") and, to a lesser extent, increases in incentive compensation expense of $9.0 and stock-based compensation of $6.6. These increases were offset partially by the impact of cost reductions from restructuring actions completed in 2013 and 2014 and currency translation. The increase in pension and postretirement expense in 2014 was due to an increase in actuarial losses during the year.
Intangible Amortization — For 2015, compared to 2014, and 2014, compared to 2013, the decreases in intangible amortization were due to the impact of foreign currency translation.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-Term Assets — During 2015, we recorded an impairment charge of $13.7 related to the goodwill of our Balcke Duerr reporting unit.
During 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $10.9 related to the trademarks of a business within our Power segment. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge of $18.0 related to our Power segment’s investment in a joint venture with Shanghai Electric.
See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of impairment charges.
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 6 to our consolidated financial statements for the details of actions taken in 2015, 2014 and 2013. The components of special charges, net, were as follows:

Other Income (Expense), Net — Other expense, net, for 2015 was composed primarily of charges of $8.0 associated with asbestos product liability matters, foreign currency transaction losses of $7.8, losses on foreign currency forward contracts ("FX forward contracts") of $6.5, partially offset by gains of $4.9 on currency forward embedded derivatives (“FX embedded derivatives”) and a gain of $3.8 related to death benefits on life insurance contracts.
Other income, net, for 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 $2.7 and gains on FX embedded derivatives of $2.8, partially offset by losses on FX forward contracts of $5.4 and foreign currency transaction losses of $1.9.
Other expense, net, for 2013 was composed primarily of foreign currency transaction losses of $9.5 and losses on FX forward contracts of $1.3, partially offset by gains on FX embedded derivatives of $1.0 and investment earnings of $4.2.
Interest Expense, Net — Interest expense, net, includes both interest expense and interest income. The increase in interest expense, net, during 2015, compared to 2014, was primarily a result of a decrease in interest income during 2015 due to the lower average cash balances during the year, partially offset by the impact of refinancing our senior credit facilities during the third quarter in preparation for the Spin-Off, which resulted in a decrease in our outstanding term loan and our average outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facilities. (See "MD&A — Liquidity and Financial Condition" and Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for further details pertaining to our 2015 debt activity.)
The decrease in interest expense, net, during 2014, compared to 2013, was primarily a result of the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes during the first quarter of 2014 and, to a lesser extent, lower average interest rates and fees related to our senior credit facilities.

27



Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt — As previously noted, in the third quarter of 2015, we refinanced our senior credit facilities in connection with the Spin-Off. As a result of the refinancing, we recorded a charge of $1.4 during 2015, which consisted of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees related to our prior senior credit facilities.
In the first quarter of 2014, we completed the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes for a total redemption price of $530.6. As a result of the redemption, we recorded a charge of $32.5 during 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.
Equity Earnings in Joint Ventures — Prior to 2014, our equity earnings in joint ventures were attributable primarily to our investment in EGS. We completed the sale of our investment interest in EGS in January 2014. Accordingly, we recognized no equity earnings from this joint venture during 2015 and 2014. Our equity earnings from this investment totaled $41.9 during 2013. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our investment in EGS.
Income Taxes — During 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit of $11.8 on $203.0 of a pre-tax loss from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 5.8%. The most significant item impacting the effective tax rate for 2015 was the effects of approximately $139.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the year (the majority of which relate to our large power projects in South Africa) for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of such tax benefit is considered unlikely. In addition, we incurred foreign tax charges of $3.7 related to the Spin-Off and the reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the Spin-Off and $3.4 of net charges related to various audit settlements, statute expirations, and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
During 2014, we recorded an income tax provision of $139.7 on $255.8 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 54.6%. The effective tax rate for 2014 was impacted by the U.S. income taxes provided in connection with the $491.2 gain on the sale of our interest in EGS, tax charges of  $33.8 related to net increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets, and a low effective tax rate on foreign losses, partially offset by (i) $16.2 of tax benefits related to various audit settlements, statute expirations and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions, with the most notable being the closure of our U.S. tax examination for the years 2008 through 2011, and (ii) $6.4 of tax benefits related to a loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary.
During 2013, we recorded an income tax benefit of $20.0 on $10.5 of a pre-tax loss from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 190.5%. The effective tax rate for 2013 was impacted favorably by income tax benefits of $9.5 associated with net reductions in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets, $4.1 recorded in connection with various audit settlements and statute expirations during the period, and $4.1 related to the Research and Experimentation Credit generated in 2012.

Other Discontinued Operations Activity
Fenn — Sold for cash consideration of $3.5 during 2014, resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $0.4.
Precision Components — Sold for cash consideration of $62.6 during 2014 (inclusive of cash paid of $0.4 associated with the working capital settlement), resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $6.9.
TPS — Sold for cash consideration of $42.5 during 2014, resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $21.7.
Dielectric — Sold assets of the business during 2013 for cash consideration of $4.7, resulting in a gain of less than $0.1.
Kayex — Closed the business during 2013. We recorded a gain, net of taxes, of $1.3 during 2013 associated primarily with a gain on the sale of a perpetual license related to certain of the business's intangible assets, which was partially offset by a loss related to severance costs and asset impairment charges. Proceeds from the sale of the perpetual license totaled $6.9.
In addition to the businesses discussed above, we recognized net losses of $5.2, $1.1 and $5.3 during 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on dispositions of businesses discontinued prior to 2013.
Changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur. As such, it is possible that the resulting gains/losses on these and other previous divestitures may be materially adjusted in subsequent periods.

Results of Reportable Segments
The following information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes. These results exclude the operating results of discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of each of our reportable segments.
Non-GAAP Measures — Throughout the following discussion of reportable segments, we use "organic revenue" growth (decline) to facilitate explanation of the operating performance of our segments. Organic revenue growth

31



(decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is not a substitute for net revenue growth (decline). Refer to the explanation of this measure and purpose of use by management under "Results of Continuing Operations — Non-GAAP Measures."

Revenues — For 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2014, was due to a decline in organic revenue and, to a lesser extent, a stronger U.S. dollar during 2015. The organic revenue decline was due to lower sales within the segment's heating and ventilation products business, partially offset by an increase in sales of cooling products, including a project in the U.S. that contributed $7.3 of revenues during 2015.
For 2014, the increase in revenues, compared to 2013, was due primarily to an increase in organic revenue. The increase in organic revenue was the result of increases in sales of heating and ventilation products, as well as cooling products, in the U.S.
Income — For 2015, income and margin increased, compared to 2014, primarily as a result of (i) improved operating efficiency within the segment’s heating and ventilation products business and (ii) a more profitable sales mix associated within the segment’s cooling products business.
For 2014, income increased, compared to 2013, primarily as a result of the organic revenue growth noted above The decrease in margin was due primarily to a less profitable sales mix within the segment’s cooling products business.
Backlog — The segment had backlog of $31.1 and $44.6 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately 99% of the segment's backlog as of December 31, 2015 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2016.

Revenues — For 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2014, was due to a decline in organic revenue and a stronger U.S. dollar in 2015. The organic revenue decline was due to lower sales of bus fare collection systems and specialty lighting equipment, partially offset by increased sales of underground pipe and cable locators and inspection equipment.
For 2014, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2013, was due to a decline in organic revenue. The organic revenue decline was due primarily to lower sales of bus fare collection systems and specialty lighting equipment.
Income — For 2015, income and margin decreased, compared to 2014, primarily as a result of (i) the revenue decline noted above and (ii) a less profitable mix associated with sales of communication technology equipment, underground pipe and cable locators, and inspection equipment.

Revenues — For 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2014, was due to a decline in organic revenue, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar during 2015, and a reduction in revenues associated with the segment’s large power projects in South Africa. The decline in organic revenue was due primarily to lower sales of power generation equipment and, to a lesser extent, power transformers. Sales of power generation equipment continue to be impacted by weak demand within the power generation market. In addition, in response to a competitive price environment for power transformers we continue to employ a disciplined approach to the quote and bid process.
For 2014, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2013, was due to the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar during the period (versus primarily the South African Rand and Euro) and a revision to revenues during the fourth quarter of 2014 associated with our large power projects in South Africa, which resulted in a reduction of revenues for the projects of $25.0, partially offset by an increase in organic revenue. The organic revenue growth was the result of increases in sales of power generation equipment and, to a lesser extent, power transformers.
Income — For 2015, income and margin decreased, compared to 2014, primarily as a result of the reduction in profits associated with the segment’s large power projects in South Africa and the organic revenue decline noted above. During 2015, our large projects in South Africa generated an operating loss of $120.5, compared to an operating loss of $33.6 in 2014. Much of the projects’ 2015 operating loss was the result of the third quarter 2015 revision to the expected revenues and profits of the projects, which resulted in a reduction in profit for the projects of $95.0. These declines in income and margin were partially offset by improved profitability within the segment’s power transformer business, with such profit improvement resulting primarily from improved operating efficiency.
For 2014, income and margin decreased, compared to 2013, primarily as a result of the reduction in income on the large power projects in South Africa of approximately $50.0. The decline in income for these projects resulted from a year-over-year decrease in revenues and the fourth quarter 2014 revision to expected revenues and profits on the projects, which resulted in a reduction in profits for the projects of $25.0. This decline in income and margin was offset partially by the impact of cost reductions associated with restructuring initiatives and improved profitability within the segment’s power transformer business.
Backlog — The segment had backlog of $790.2 and $934.0 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Of the $143.8 year-over-year decline in backlog, $56.8 was attributable to the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2015, as compared to December 31, 2014. Approximately 74% of the segment's backlog as of December 31, 2015 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2016.

Corporate Expense — Corporate expense generally relates to the cost of our Charlotte, NC corporate headquarters, our former Asia Pacific center in Shanghai, China, which was part of the Spin-Off, and costs that were previously allocated to the FLOW Business that do not meet the requirements to be presented within discontinued operations. Amounts that were previously allocated to the FLOW Business and now have been included in corporate expense totaled $20.6, $27.5, and $23.0 in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The decrease in corporate expense in 2015, compared to 2014, was due primarily to the impact of the Spin-Off at the end of the third quarter of 2015 and, to a lesser extent, a decline in incentive compensation expense due to lower profitability in 2015. At the time of the Spin-Off, more than half of the then-existing corporate employees became employees of SPX FLOW and, thus, their related expenses were no longer part of our cost structure during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Pension and Postretirement Expense (Income) — Pension and postretirement expense represents our consolidated expense, which we do not allocate for segment reporting purposes. The decline in pension and postretirement expense in 2015, compared to 2014, was due primarily to a decline in actuarial losses, as actuarial losses in 2015 totaled $21.1 compared to $66.2 in 2014. Actuarial losses in 2015 resulted primarily from lower than expected returns on plan assets, while the actuarial losses in 2014 were the result of reductions in discount rates and changes in mortality rate assumptions utilized to measure our pension and postretirement obligations, partially offset by favorable plan asset returns. Pension and postretirement expense for 2015 also included a curtailment gain of $5.1 associated with an amendment to the U.S. Plan and the Supplemental Individual Account Retirement Plan (‘‘SIARP’’)during the third quarter of 2015. Pension and postretirement expense for 2014 also included net losses of $29.6 associated with charges of (i) $19.4 for the lump-sum payment action related to the U.S. Plan during the first quarter of 2014 and (ii) $15.0 related to the premium paid in order to transfer monthly payments to retirees under the U.K. Plan to an insurance company during the fourth quarter of 2014, partially offset by a reduction of $4.8 to the estimated settlement loss that was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2013 in connection with the transfer of the pension obligation for the retirees of the U.S. Plan to an insurance company.
Pension and postretirement income for 2013 included net actuarial gains of $3.2 that resulted primarily from an increase in discount rates during the year.
See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our pension and postretirement plans.
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 in 2015, compared to the respective periods in 2014, was due primarily to additional compensation during 2015 of $2.1 that resulted from a spin-related modification of certain outstanding restricted stock unit awards.
The increase in stock-based compensation expense for 2014, compared to 2013, was primarily the result of an increase in the fair value of the 2014 restricted stock share and restricted stock unit awards, as the weighted-average fair value of the 2014 awards was approximately 41% higher than the 2013 awards.
See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our stock-based compensation plans.

2015 Compared to 2014
Operating Activities — The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities during 2015, compared to 2014, was due primarily to the fact that the amount for 2014 included income tax payments of approximately $235.0 associated with the sales of our interest in EGS and the TPS, Precision Components and Fenn businesses. The amounts for both 2015 and 2014 include disbursements for general corporate overhead costs related to a corporate structure that supported the SPX business prior to the Spin-Off. As previously noted, a portion of these costs related to support that will be provided to SPX FLOW post-spin and, thus, we expect future disbursements for general corporate overhead to be significantly lower than the recent historical trends. In addition, cash flows used in operating activities for both 2015 and 2014 were impacted by significant cash investments required for our large power projects in South Africa.
Investing Activities — The decrease in cash flows from investing activities during 2015, compared to 2014, was due primarily to the fact that the 2014 amount included proceeds of $574.1 related to the sale of our interest in EGS. Cash flows used in investing activities for 2015 were comprised primarily of capital expenditures of $17.9, while cash flows from investing activities in 2014 were comprised primarily of the proceeds from the sale of our interest in EGS of $574.1, partially offset by capital expenditures of $20.4.
Financing Activities — During 2015, net cash flows used in financing activities primarily related to the cash dividend to SPX FLOW in connection with the Spin-Off of $208.6 and dividends paid of $45.9, partially offset by net borrowings under our senior credit facilities of $97.0. During 2014, net cash flows used in financing activities primarily related to the redemption of our 7.625% senior notes for $530.6, share repurchases of $488.8, and cash dividends of $59.8, partially offset by net borrowings on other debt instruments of $250.0.
Discontinued Operations — Cash flows from discontinued operations for 2015 and 2014 related primarily to the cash flows associated with the FLOW Business. In addition, cash flows from discontinued operations for 2014 included $108.6 of cash proceeds from the sale of our TPS, Precision Components and Fenn businesses. The decrease in cash flows from discontinued operations was due primarily to the fact that the 2015 amount only included cash flows for the FLOW Business through the date of Spin-Off (i.e., September 26, 2015), and the fourth quarter of each year typically is the strongest for our businesses with regard to operating cash flows, as well as the fact that the 2014 amount included the $108.6 of proceeds associated with business dispositions noted above, partially offset by a repayment of a capital lease obligation totaling $60.8 associated with the corporate headquarters facility that was transferred to SPX FLOW in connection with the Spin-Off.
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 2015 and 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.

35



2014 Compared to 2013
Operating Activities — Cash flows from operating activities during 2014 included income tax payments of $235.0 related to the sales of our interest in EGS and the TPS, Precision Components and Fenn businesses. Cash flows from operating activities during 2013 included a $250.0 discretionary contribution to the U.S. Plan. The amounts for both 2014 and 2013 include disbursements for general corporate overhead costs related to a corporate structure that supported the SPX business prior to the Spin-Off. As previously noted, a portion of these costs relate to support that will be provided to SPX FLOW post-spin and, thus, we expect future disbursements for general corporate overhead to be significantly lower than the recent historical trends. In addition, cash flows used in operating activities for 2014 were impacted by significant cash investments required for our large power projects in South Africa.
Investing Activities — The increase in cash flows from investing activities during 2014, compared to 2013, was due primarily to proceeds from the sale of our interest in EGS of $574.1.
Financing Activities — During 2014, net cash used in financing activities primarily related to the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes due in December 2014 for $530.6, repurchases of our common stock of $488.8, and cash dividends of $59.8, partially offset by net borrowings on other debt instruments of $250.0. During 2013, net cash used in financing activities related primarily to repurchases of our common stock of $260.2 and cash dividends paid of $34.7.
Discontinued Operations — Cash flows from discontinued operations for 2014 and 2013 related primarily to the cash flows associated with the FLOW Business. In addition, cash flows from discontinued operations for 2014 included $108.6 of cash proceeds from the sales of our TPS, Precision Components and Fenn businesses, partially offset by a repayment of a capital lease obligation totaling $60.8 associated with the corporate headquarters facility that was transferred to SPX FLOW in connection with the Spin-Off. Cash flows from discontinued operations during 2013 also included cash flows for the operations of the previously mentioned businesses (i.e., TPS, Precision Components and Fenn), as well as those of Kayex and Dielectric.
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 2014 and 2013 reflects primarily a reduction in U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our Euro-denominated and South African-denominated cash and equivalents and as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during those periods.

_____________________________________________________________

(1) 
As noted below, both SPX and SPX FLOW entered into separate credit agreements in connection with the Spin-Off. On September 24, 2015, the lenders provided the initial funding under each of these credit

36



agreements. The proceeds from the initial funding were used in part to repay indebtedness under SPX's prior credit facilities, with such repayments totaling $224.0 for the revolving loans and $560.6 for the term loan.
(2) 
The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 5.0% annually, beginning in the third fiscal quarter of 2016. The remaining balance is repayable in full on September 24, 2020.
(3) 
In connection with the Spin-Off, the 6.875% senior notes became an obligation of SPX FLOW. Accordingly, the related balance of $600.0 has been reflected in "Liabilities of discontinued operations - non current" in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In addition, there is "Other indebtedness" related to SPX FLOW totaling $36.6 at December 31, 2014, with such balance reflected in "Liabilities of discontinued operations - current" and "Liabilities of discontinued operations - non current" in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.
(4) 
Under this arrangement, we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $50.0, as available. At December 31, 2015, we had $40.1 of available borrowing capacity under this facility.
(5) 
Primarily included capital lease obligations of $1.7 and $13.6, balances under purchase card programs of $4.8 and $32.1 and other borrowings under a line of credit in China of $17.3 and $0, at December 31, 2015 and 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.
(6) 
Represents debt of SPX FLOW that is no longer an obligation of SPX as a result of the Spin-Off.
(7) 
"Other" primarily included foreign currency translation on debt instruments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, partially offset by debt assumed.
Maturities of long-term debt payable during each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2015 are $9.1, $18.0, $17.8, $17.8 and $288.9, respectively.
Senior Credit Facilities
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated September 1, 2015, ("Effective Date") with a syndicate of lenders that provided for committed senior secured financing in the aggregate amount of $1,200.0, consisting of the following (each with a final maturity of September 24, 2020):
A term loan facility in an aggregate principle amount of $350.0;
A domestic revolving credit facility, available for loans and letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount up to $200.0;
A global revolving credit facility, available for loans in Euros, GBP and other currencies, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $150.0;
A participation foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $300.0; and
A bilateral foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $200.0.
In addition, SPX FLOW entered into a credit agreement, dated September 1, 2015, with a syndicate of lenders that provided for committed senior secured financing in the aggregate amount of $1,350.0 (the "SPX FLOW Credit Agreement"). As a result of the Spin-Off, we have no obligations under the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement.
On September 24, 2015, the lenders provided the initial funding under the Credit Agreement and the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the initial borrowings were used in part to repay indebtedness outstanding under our amended and restated credit agreement, dated December 31, 2013 (the "December 2013 Credit Agreement"). The December 2013 Credit Agreement terminated on September 24, 2015 upon the repayment of such indebtedness.
The term loan under the Credit Agreement is repayable in quarterly installments (with annual aggregate repayments, as a percentage of the initial principal amount of $350.0, of 5.0%, beginning in the third calendar quarter of 2016), with the remaining balance repayable in full on September 24, 2020.
We also may seek additional commitments, without consent from the existing lenders, to add an incremental term loan facility and/or increase the commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving

37



credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and/or the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility by an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (i) $300.0 plus (ii) an unlimited amount so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto, our Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings, or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination secured by liens to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date) does not exceed 2.75:1.00 plus (iii) an amount equal to all voluntary prepayments of the term loan facility and voluntary prepayments accompanied by permanent commitment reductions of revolving credit facilities and foreign credit instrument facilities.
We are the borrower under each of the above facilities, and certain of our foreign subsidiaries are (and we may designate other foreign subsidiaries to be) borrowers under the global revolving credit facility and the foreign credit instrument facilities. All borrowings and other extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.
The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by SPX on behalf of any of our subsidiaries or certain joint ventures. The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support our foreign operations.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement are, at our option, equal to either (i) an alternate base rate (the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (ii) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate for dollars (Eurodollars) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings and analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date). We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months (and, if consented to by all relevant lenders, twelve months) for Eurodollar borrowings.

The weighted-average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facilities was approximately 2.2% at December 31, 2015.
The fees and bilateral foreign credit commitments are as specified above for foreign credit commitments unless otherwise agreed with the bilateral foreign issuing lender. We also pay fronting fees on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit and foreign credit instruments (in the participation facility) at the rates of 0.125% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively.
The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions) by SPX or our subsidiaries. Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay, first, amounts outstanding under any term loans and, then, amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days (and if committed to be reinvested, actually reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 360-day period) of the receipt of such proceeds.

We may voluntarily prepay loans under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by:
Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary with specified exceptions; and
SPX with respect to the obligations of our foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by SPX or our domestic subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of our material first-tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions). If SPX obtains a corporate credit rating from Moody’s and S&P and such corporate credit rating is less than “Ba2” (or not rated) by Moody’s and less than “BB” (or not rated) by S&P, then SPX and our domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all of their assets. If SPX’s corporate credit rating is “Baa3” or better by Moody’s or “BBB-” or better by S&P and no defaults would exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will be unsecured.
The Credit Agreement requires that SPX maintain:
A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated cash interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and
A Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters after certain permitted acquisitions).
The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees, or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock, and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.
We are permitted under the Credit Agreement to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) less than 2.50 to 1.00. If our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $50.0 in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after the Effective Date equal to the sum of (i) $100.0 plus (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as consolidated net income subject to certain adjustments solely for the purposes of determining this basket) during the period from the Effective Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) plus (iii) certain other amounts.
At December 31, 2015, we had $301.9 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to $48.1 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at December 31, 2015, we had $224.1 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $275.9 reserved for outstanding letters of credit.
At December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants of our Credit Agreement.
Other Borrowings and Financing Activities
Certain of our businesses purchase goods and services under purchase card programs allowing for payment beyond their normal payment terms. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the participating businesses had $4.8 and $32.1, respectively, outstanding under these arrangements.

39



We are party to a trade receivables financing agreement, whereby we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $50.0. Availability of funds may fluctuate over time given changes in eligible receivable balances, but will not exceed the $50.0 program limit. The facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for facilities of this type. The facility does not contain any covenants that we view as materially constraining to the activities of our business.
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 December 31, 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, CNY and GBP.
From time to time, we enter into FX forward contracts to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. In addition, some of our contracts contain FX embedded derivatives, 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 $139.8 and $212.5 outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Of our outstanding contracts as of December 31, 2015, $136.8 and $3.0 are scheduled to mature in 2016 and 2017, respectively. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $120.8 and $192.6 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with scheduled maturities of $88.4, $28.0 and $4.4 in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The unrealized losses, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts were $0.6 and $0.3 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized loss as of December 31, 2015 to income over the next 12 months. The net loss recorded in "Other income (expense), net" related to FX forward contracts and embedded derivatives totaled $1.6 in 2015, $2.6 in 2014 and $0.3 in 2013.

Commodity Contracts
From time to time, we enter into commodity contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials. The outstanding notional amount of commodity contracts was 4.2 pounds of copper at both December 31, 2015 and 2014. 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 December 31, 2015 and 2014, the fair value of these contracts was $1.7 (current liabilities) and $1.4 (current liabilities), respectively. The unrealized loss, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI was $1.2 and $1.0 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized loss as of December 31, 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 our consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
The fair value of our debt instruments (excluding capital leases) as of December 31, 2015 approximated the related carrying value of $372.1, due primarily to the variable market-based interest rates for such instruments.
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 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.
Cash and Other Commitments
Our senior credit facilities are payable in full on September 24, 2020. Our term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 5.0% annually, beginning in the third fiscal quarter of 2016. The remaining balance is repayable in full on September 24, 2020.
We use operating leases to finance certain equipment, vehicles and properties. At December 31, 2015, we had $46.8 of future minimum rental payments under operating leases with remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year.

41



During 2015, we declared and paid dividends of $30.9 and $45.9, respectively, while we declared and paid dividends of $63.2 and $59.8, respectively, in 2014 and $45.5 and $34.7, respectively, in 2013. On February 12, 2014, we implemented a dividend increase effective with the first quarterly dividend payment of 2014. In connection with the Spin-Off, we discontinued dividend payments immediately following the second quarter dividend payment for 2015 and do not expect to resume dividend payments for the foreseeable future.
Capital expenditures for 2015 totaled $17.9, compared to $20.4 and $32.1 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2015 related primarily to upgrades to manufacturing facilities, including replacement of equipment, and upgrades in information technology. We expect 2016 capital expenditures to approximate $18.0 to $20.0, with a significant portion related to replacement of equipment.
In 2015, we made contributions and direct benefit payments of $30.3 to our defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans, net of subsidies, which included $7.9 of contributions related to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations. We expect to make $24.6 of minimum required funding contributions and direct benefit payments in 2016, including $1.8 of contributions that relate to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations. Our pension plans have not experienced any liquidity difficulties or counterparty defaults due to the volatility in the credit markets. Our pension funds experienced a decrease in asset values of approximately 4.0% in 2015. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further disclosure of expected future contributions and benefit payments.
On a net basis, both from continuing and discontinued operations, we paid $51.0, $314.8 and $50.3 of income taxes for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In 2015, we made payments of $59.8 associated with the actual and estimated tax liability for federal, state and foreign tax obligations and received refunds of $8.8. The amount of income taxes that we pay annually is dependent on various factors, including the timing of certain deductions. Deductions and the amount of income taxes can and do vary from year to year. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further disclosure of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, amounts considered permanently reinvested, and our intentions with respect to repatriation of earnings.
As of December 31, 2015, except as discussed in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements and in the contractual obligations table below, we did not have any material guarantees, off-balance sheet arrangements or purchase commitments other than the following: (i) $48.1 of certain standby letters of credit outstanding, all of which reduce the available borrowing capacity on our domestic revolving credit facility; (ii) $275.9 of letters of credit outstanding, all of which reduce the available borrowing capacity on our foreign trade facilities; and (iii) approximately $104.4 of surety bonds. In addition, $32.8 of our standby letters of credit relate to self-insurance or environmental matters.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we 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, subject to limited exceptions. While we maintain insurance for this type of liability, the liability could exceed the amount of the insurance coverage.
We continually review each of our businesses in order to determine their long-term strategic fit. These reviews could result in selected acquisitions to expand an existing business or result in the disposition of an existing business. In addition, you should read "Risk Factors," "Results for Reportable Segments" included in this MD&A, and "Business" for an understanding of the risks, uncertainties and trends facing our businesses.

____________________________
(1) 
Estimated minimum required pension funding and pension and postretirement benefit payments are based on actuarial estimates using current assumptions for, among other things, discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets (where applicable), rate of compensation increases, and health care cost trend rates. The expected pension contributions for the U.S. plans in 2015 and thereafter reflect the minimum required contributions under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008. These contributions do not reflect potential voluntary contributions, or additional contributions that may be required in connection with acquisitions, dispositions or related plan mergers. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on expected future contributions and benefit payments.
(2) 
Represents contractual commitments to purchase goods and services at specified dates.
(3) 
Represents rental payments under operating leases with remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year.
(4) 
Contingent obligations, such as environmental accruals and those relating to uncertain tax positions generally do not have specific payment dates and accordingly have been excluded from the above table. We believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $6.0 to $10.0. In addition, the above table does not include potential payments under our derivative financial instruments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
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 listed below. This section should be read in conjunction with Notes 1 and 2 to our consolidated financial statements, which include a detailed discussion of these and other accounting policies.
Contingent Liabilities
Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business have been asserted or are pending against us or certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, “claims”). These claims relate to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property and competitive claims), environmental matters, product liability matters (predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials), and other risk management matters (e.g., general liability, automobile, and workers' compensation claims). Additionally, we may become subject to other claims of which we are currently unaware, which may be significant, or the claims of which we are aware may result in our incurring significantly greater loss than we anticipate. While we (and our subsidiaries) 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 significant portion of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., in the case of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. Also, while we believe we are entitled to indemnification

43



from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures.
Our recorded liabilities related to these matters totaled $591.1 (including $534.4 for asbestos product liability matters) and $577.6 (including $515.4 for asbestos product liability matters) at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The liabilities we record for these claims are based on a number of assumptions, including historical claims and payment experience and, with respect to asbestos claims, actuarial estimates of the future period during which additional claims are reasonably foreseeable. While we base our assumptions on facts currently known to us, they entail inherently subjective judgments and uncertainties. As a result, our current assumptions for estimating these liabilities may not prove accurate, and we may be required to adjust these liabilities in the future, which could result in charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
We have recorded insurance recovery assets associated with the asbestos product liability matters, with such amounts totaling $493.3 and $479.1 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These assets represent amounts that we believe we are or will be entitled to recover under agreements we have with insurance companies. The assets we record for these insurance recoveries are based on a number of assumptions, including the continued solvency of the insurers, and are subject to a variety of uncertainties. Our current assumptions for estimating these assets may not prove accurate, and we may be required to adjust these assets in the future, which could result in additional charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Large Power Projects in South Africa
The business environment surrounding our large power projects in South Africa remains difficult, as we continue to experience delays, cost over-runs, and various other challenges associated with a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, prime contractors, various subcontractors (including us and our subcontractors), and various suppliers. We currently are involved in a number of claim disputes relating to these challenges. We are pursuing various commercial alternatives for addressing these challenges, in an attempt to mitigate our overall financial exposure. During the third quarter of 2015, we gained considerable insight into the path forward for completing these projects, including our remaining scope, the estimated costs for completing such scope, and our expected recoverability of costs from the prime contractors and our subcontractors. In response to this new information, we revised our estimates of revenues, costs and profits associated with the projects. These revisions resulted in an increase in our “Loss from continuing operations before income taxes” for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $95.0, which is comprised of a reduction in revenue of $57.2 and an increase in cost of products sold of $37.8. In addition, these revisions resulted in an increase in our “Net loss” for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $71.2 and an increase in our “Loss per share of common stock” of $1.75 for the same period.
In December 2015, our South African subsidiary, DBT Technologies (Pty) Ltd, along with Alstom S&E Africa (Proprietary) Limited, a subsidiary of General Electric (collectively “GE”), signed an addendum to the agreement covering the terms of the companies’ commercial relationship regarding work on the Kusile power plant project under construction for the state-owned utility company, Eskom Holdings Limited (“Eskom”) in South Africa. The addendum resolves most of the material outstanding issues between us and GE for the scope of work related to the Air Cooled Condensers (“ACCs”) for the Kusile project. A separate addendum settles material outstanding issues between us and our subcontractor, Tubular Construction Projects (Pty) Ltd. (“TCP”). The agreement with GE eliminates our construction responsibilities on the ACCs of the final three units at the site and adjusts the timeline for completion of the project. As a result of this addendum, TCP has become directly responsible for construction on units 4-6. We will continue to provide materials and engineered components, as well as support for commissioning and technical compliance, for all six units and will remain responsible for completion of construction activities on units 1-3. The financial impact of the addendum was accounted for in the aforementioned revisions of revenues, costs and profits that were recorded during the third quarter of 2015.
We recognize revenue associated with unapproved change orders and claims to the extent the related costs have been incurred and the amount expected of recovery is probable and reasonably estimable. At December 31, 2015, the projected revenues related to our large power projects in South Africa included approximately $25.0 related to claims and unapproved change orders. We believe these amounts are recoverable under the provisions of the related contracts and reflect our best estimate of recoverable amounts.

44



Although we believe that our current estimates of revenues, costs and profits relating to these projects are reasonable, it is possible that future revisions of such estimates could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Matters
We believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental requirements. We are currently involved in various investigatory and remedial actions at our facilities and at third-party waste disposal sites. It is our policy to accrue for estimated losses from legal actions or claims when events exist that make the realization of the losses or expenses probable and they can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals cover anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation, and operation and maintenance of clean-up sites. 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. We expense costs incurred to investigate and remediate environmental issues unless they extend the economic useful lives of related assets. We record liabilities when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates are based primarily on investigations and remediation plans established by independent consultants, regulatory agencies and potentially responsible third parties. It is our policy to realize a change in estimates once it becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. In determining our accruals, we generally do not discount environmental accruals and do not discount other legal accruals and do not reduce them by anticipated insurance, litigation and other 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.
Self-Insured 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 self-insurance liabilities are determined by us, are based on claims filed and an estimate 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; however, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. The key assumptions considered in estimating the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and the estimated costs associated with incurred but not yet reported claims include, among other things, our historical and industry claims experience, trends in health care and administrative costs, our current and future risk management programs, and historical lag studies with regard to the timing between when a claim is incurred versus when it is reported.
Long-Term Contract Accounting
Certain of our businesses, primarily within the Power reportable segment, recognize revenues and profits from long-term construction/installation contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion method requires estimates of future revenues and costs over the full term of product delivery. We measure the percentage-of-completion principally by the contract costs incurred to date as a percentage of the estimated total costs for that contract at completion. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $485.3, $633.3 and $731.0 of revenues under the percentage-of-completion method, respectively.
We record any provision for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts in the period in which the losses are determined. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term contracts, we include estimated recoveries for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on these contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised during the duration of a contract. These revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Our estimation process for determining revenues and costs for contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method is based upon (i) our historical experience, (ii) the professional judgment and knowledge of our engineers, project managers, and operations and financial professionals, and (iii) an assessment of the key underlying factors (see below) that impact the revenues and costs of our long-term contracts. Each long-term contract is unique, but typically similar enough to other contracts that we can effectively leverage our experience. As our long-term contracts generally range from nine to eighteen months in duration, we typically reassess the estimated revenues and costs of these contracts on a quarterly basis, but may reassess more often as situations warrant. We record changes in estimates

45



of revenues and costs when identified using the cumulative catch-up method prescribed under the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Codification.
We believe the underlying factors used to estimate our costs to complete and percentage-of-completion are sufficiently reliable to provide a reasonable estimate of revenue and profit; however, due to the length of time over which revenue streams are generated and costs are incurred, along with the judgment required in developing the underlying factors, the variability of revenue and cost can be significant. Factors that may affect revenue and costs relating to long-term contracts include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sales Price Incentives and Sales Price Escalation Clauses — Sales price incentives and sales price escalations that are reasonably assured and reasonably estimable are recorded over the performance period of the contract. Otherwise, these amounts are recorded when awarded.
Cost Recovery for Product Design Changes and Claims — On occasion, design specifications may change during the course of the contract. Any additional costs arising from these changes may be supported by change orders, or we may submit a claim to the customer. Change orders are accounted for as described above. See below for our accounting policies related to claims.
Material Availability and Costs — Our estimates of material costs generally are based on existing supplier relationships, adequate availability of materials, prevailing market prices for materials, and, in some cases, long-term supplier contracts. Changes in our supplier relationships, delays in obtaining materials, or changes in material prices can have a significant impact on our cost and profitability estimates.
Use of Subcontractors — Our arrangements with subcontractors are generally based on fixed prices; however, our estimates of the cost and profitability can be impacted by subcontractor delays, customer claims arising from subcontractor performance issues, or a subcontractor's inability to fulfill its obligations.
Labor Costs and Anticipated Productivity Levels — Where applicable, we include the impact of labor improvements in our estimation of costs, such as in cases where we expect a favorable learning curve over the duration of the contract. In these cases, if the improvements do not materialize, costs and profitability could be adversely impacted. Additionally, to the extent we are more or less productive than originally anticipated, estimated costs and profitability may also be impacted.
Effect of Foreign Currency Fluctuations — Fluctuations between currencies in which our long-term contracts are denominated and the currencies under which contract costs are incurred can have an impact on profitability. When the impact on profitability is potentially significant, we may enter into FX forward contracts or prepay certain vendors for raw materials to manage the potential exposure. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details on our FX forward contracts.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts have not been billed under the terms of the contracts. These amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract.
We periodically make claims against customers, suppliers and subcontractors associated with alleged non-performance and other disputes over contractual terms. Claims related to long-term contracts are recognized as additional revenues or as a reduction of costs only after we have determined that collection is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. Claims made by us may involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation or other dispute-resolution processes. In the event we incur litigation or other dispute-resolution costs in connection with claims, these costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably estimable.
Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are subject to annual impairment testing. We monitor the results of each of our reporting units as a means of identifying trends and/or matters that may impact their financial results and, thus, be an indicator of a potential impairment. The trends and/or matters that we specifically monitor for each of our reporting units are as follows:
Significant variances in financial performance (e.g., revenues, earnings and cash flows) in relation to expectations and historical performance;
Significant changes in end markets or other economic factors;

46



Significant changes or planned changes in our use of a reporting unit's assets; and
Significant changes in customer relationships and competitive conditions.
The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of reporting units. We perform our impairment testing by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reported net assets, with such testing occurring during the fourth quarter of each year in conjunction with our annual financial planning process (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise), based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. Fair value is generally based on the income approach using a calculation of discounted cash flows, based on the most recent financial projections for the reporting units. The revenue growth rates included in the financial projections are our best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions, and the profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on current cost structure and, when applicable, anticipated net cost reductions.
The calculation of fair value for our reporting units incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, profit margin and discount factors. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in impairment charges in future periods.
Based on our annual goodwill impairment testing in 2015, we recorded an impairment charge of $13.7 relating to the Balcke Duerr reporting unit within our Power reportable segment, which represented all of Balcke Duerr's goodwill. Additionally, the estimated fair value of one reporting unit within our Power reportable segment exceeded the carrying value of its net assets by less than 10%, with the amount of goodwill totaling $25.2 at December 31, 2015. The estimated fair value of such reporting unit was based in part on the expected proceeds from the sale of our dry cooling business (see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements). The estimated fair value of each of our other reporting units exceeds the carrying value of their respective net assets by at least 10%.
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. The basis for these projected revenues is the annual operating plan for each of the related businesses, which is prepared in the fourth quarter of each year.
As indicated in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements, we understated a fourth quarter 2014 impairment charge relating to certain trademarks within our Power reportable segment by $2.5. We have corrected this misstatement in the consolidated financial statements herein by (i) increasing the impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2014 to $10.9 (from the $8.4 originally reported) and (ii) reducing "Intangibles, net" and "Retained earnings" as of December 31, 2014 by $2.5. In addition to the above mentioned charge of $10.9, we recorded an impairment charge during the fourth quarter of 2014 of $18.0 related to our Cooling Power reporting unit's investment in the Shanghai Electric joint venture.
See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Employee Benefit Plans
Defined benefit plans cover a portion of our salaried and hourly paid employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Additionally, domestic postretirement plans provide health and life insurance benefits for certain retirees and their dependents. We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses into earnings during the fourth quarter of each year, unless earlier remeasurement is required, as a component of net periodic benefit expense. The remaining components of pension/postretirement expense, primarily service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis.
Our pension plans have not experienced any significant impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility in the credit markets.
The costs and obligations associated with these plans are determined based on actuarial valuations. The critical assumptions used in determining these related expenses and obligations are discount rates and healthcare cost projections. These critical assumptions are calculated based on company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated at least annually by us in consultation with outside actuaries. Other assumptions involving demographic factors such as retirement patterns, mortality, turnover and the rate of increase in compensation levels are evaluated periodically and are updated to reflect our experience and expectations for the future. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, actual results may differ.

47



The discount rate enables us to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. This rate is the yield on high-quality fixed income investments at the measurement date. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations and increases pension expense. Including the effects of recognizing actuarial gains and losses into earnings as described above, a 50 basis point decrease in the discount rate for our domestic plans would have increased our 2015 pension expense by approximately $10.2, and a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would have decreased our 2015 pension expense by approximately $9.6.
The trend in healthcare costs is difficult to estimate, and it can significantly impact our postretirement liabilities and costs. The 2015 healthcare cost trend rate for 2016, which is the weighted-average annual projected rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits, is 6.60%. This rate is assumed to decrease to 5.0% by 2024 and then remain at that level. Including the effects of recognizing actuarial gains and losses into earnings as described above, a 100 basis point increase in the healthcare cost trend rate would have increased our 2015 postretirement expense by approximately $5.8, and a 100 basis point decrease in the healthcare cost trend rate would have decreased our 2015 postretirement expense by approximately $5.1.
See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on our pension and postretirement benefit plans.
Income Taxes
We record our income taxes based on the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification, which includes an estimate of the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.
Realization of deferred tax assets involves estimates regarding (i) the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (ii) expected future taxable income, and (iii) the impact of tax planning strategies. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefit of certain deferred tax assets and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance against them. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, projections of future taxable income and the feasibility of and potential changes to ongoing tax planning strategies. The projections of future taxable income include a number of estimates and assumptions regarding our volume, pricing and costs. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings or alternative tax strategies. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if our estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or tax strategies are no longer viable.
The amount of income tax that we pay annually is dependent on various factors, including the timing of certain deductions and ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed adjustments. We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a quarterly basis and accrue for potential uncertain tax positions. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded based on an expectation as to the timing of when the matter will be resolved. As events change or resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities. We believe we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to these matters.
Our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to closure of income tax examinations, statute expirations, new regulatory or judicial pronouncements, changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, future tax planning strategies, or other relevant events. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our uncertain tax positions.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
(All currency amounts are in millions)
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity raw material prices, and we selectively use financial instruments to manage these risks. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes; however, these instruments may be deemed speculative if the future cash flows originally hedged are no longer probable of occurring as anticipated. Our currency exposures vary, but are primarily concentrated in the Euro, Chinese Yuan, South African Rand and GBP. We generally do not hedge currency translation exposures. Our exposures for commodity raw materials vary, with the highest concentration relating to steel, copper and oil. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
The following table provides information, as of December 31, 2015, about our primary outstanding debt obligations and presents principal cash flows by expected maturity dates, weighted-average interest rates and fair values.

We believe that cash and equivalents, cash flows from operations, and availability under revolving credit facilities and our trade receivables financing arrangement will be sufficient to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, other operational cash requirements and required debt service obligations for at least the next 12 months.
We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $139.8 and $212.5 outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with substantially all such contracts scheduled to mature in 2016. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $120.8 and $192.6 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with scheduled maturities of $88.4, $28.0 and $4.4 in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The unrealized losses, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts were $0.6 and $0.3 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying all of the unrealized losses as of December 31, 2015 to income over the next 12 months. The net loss recorded in "Other income (expense), net" related to FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives totaled $1.6 in 2015, $2.6 in 2014 and $0.3 in 2013.
We had commodity contracts with an unrealized loss, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.2 at December 31, 2015. We expect to reclassify the December 31, 2015 unrealized loss to cost of products sold over the next 12 months as the hedged transactions impact earnings. The fair value of these contracts was $1.7 (recorded as a current liability) as of December 31, 2015.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of SPX Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SPX Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of EGS Electrical Group, LLC and subsidiaries ("EGS") for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Company's investment accounted for by use of the equity method (see Note 9 to the Company's consolidated financial statements). The Company's equity in income of EGS for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 was $41.9 million. The consolidated financial statements of EGS were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for EGS, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SPX Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on September 26, 2015, the Company completed the spin-off of SPX FLOW, Inc. through a distribution of the shares of SPX FLOW, Inc. to the Company’s stockholders. The operating results of SPX FLOW, Inc. have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015
(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)
(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described below, as well as in other Notes that follow.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include SPX Corporation's ("SPX", "our", or "we") accounts prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Investments in unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence but do not have control are accounted for using the equity method.
Spin-Off of FLOW Business On September 26, 2015 (the “Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off to our stockholders (the “Spin-Off”) of all the outstanding shares of SPX FLOW, Inc. (“SPX FLOW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPX prior to the Spin-Off, which at the time of the Spin-Off held the businesses comprising our Flow Technology reportable segment, our Hydraulic Technologies business, and certain of our corporate subsidiaries (collectively, the “FLOW Business”). On the Distribution Date, each of our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2015 (the “Record Date”) received one share of common stock of SPX FLOW for every share of SPX common stock held as of the Record Date. SPX FLOW is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “FLOW” on the New York Stock Exchange. Following the Spin-Off, SPX’s common stock continues to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but trades under the new ticker symbol, “SPXC”.
The financial results of SPX FLOW for the three years ended December 31, 2015 have been classified as discontinued operations within the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 4 for information on discontinued operations).
Agreement for Sale of Dry Cooling On November 20, 2015, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our dry cooling business. The sales price is estimated to be $48.0, subject to adjustment for working capital at the closing date. The dry cooling business, which is headquartered in Brussels with facilities in China and the United States, accounts for approximately 10% of the revenues of our Power reportable segment. This business also includes SPX’s ownership interest in its joint venture with Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Electric"). The transaction is expected to be finalized during the first half of 2016 and is subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. The transaction does not include SPX’s South African subsidiary, DBT Technologies (Pty) Ltd.
The assets and liabilities of the dry cooling business, as of December 31, 2015, have been classified as held for sale within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. See Note 4 for information on such assets and liabilities.
New Segment Reporting Structure Prior to the Spin-Off, we aggregated certain of our operating segments into two reportable segments, Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services, while our remaining operating segments, which included our Hydraulic Technologies business, were combined within an “All Other” category that we referred to as Industrial Products and Services and Other. As noted above, the Spin-Off included our Flow Technology reportable segment and our Hydraulic Technologies business. In addition, the Spin-Off resulted in a change of our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
As a result of the Spin-Off, we realigned our segment reporting structure, effective for the quarter ended September 26, 2015. Under the realigned structure, our reportable segments are as follows: HVAC, Detection and Measurement, and Power. The realigned segment reporting structure reflects the manner in which our new CODM is managing our business.
In connection with the change in reportable segments, and in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” we reallocated goodwill among certain of our reporting units based on the respective fair value of such reporting units.
See Note 5 for additional information regarding our realigned segment reporting structure and Note 8 regarding the goodwill and intangible assets of our reportable segments.

58



Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Information — Certain of our businesses develop software to be sold, with the related eligible costs capitalized once technological feasibility is established. In the third quarter of 2015, we determined that for certain costs capitalized in previous years, technological feasibility had not been established; thus, these costs, which total $5.4, should have been expensed when incurred.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $8.4 related to the trademarks of a business within our Power reportable segment. We subsequently determined that the charge should have been $10.9.
We have concluded that the capitalization of the above development costs and the understatement of the aforementioned impairment charge resulted in a misstatement of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Specifically, we concluded that pre-tax income from continuing operations was overstated by $3.4, $2.4, $1.2, $0.5 and $0.4, respectively.
In addition, during the third quarter of 2015, we identified a misstatement in deferred income tax liabilities of $4.3 that represented an understatement of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $2.4, an overstatement of income tax expense in 2013 of $1.2, and an understatement of income tax expense for years prior to 2010 of $3.1.
We have evaluated the effects of the above misstatements on our consolidated financial statements for each of these years in accordance with the guidance provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, codified as SAB Topic 1.N, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements,” and concluded that none of these years are materially misstated. To correct these misstatements within the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and as permitted by SAB Topic 1.N, we have reduced retained earnings, SPX’s shareholders’ equity, and total equity by $4.4 as of December 31, 2012. Within the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we also have decreased income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 by $4.5 and $0.3, respectively. See Note 18 for the impact of these corrections on previously reported amounts for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and as of December 31, 2014 and Note 17 for the impact of these corrections on previously reported amounts for each of the quarterly periods in 2014.
There were no corrections required to the results for 2015.
Change in Par Value of Common Stock — 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 consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of equity, reflect the change in par value.
Significant Accounting Policies
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification ("Codification" or "ASC"). Balance sheet accounts are translated at the current rate at the end of each period and income statement accounts are translated at the average rate for each period. Gains and losses on foreign currency translations are reflected as a separate component of shareholders' equity and other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, as well as gains and losses related to foreign currency forward contracts and currency forward embedded derivatives, are included in "Other income (expense), net," with the related net losses totaling $9.4, $4.5 and $9.8 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
        Cash Equivalents — We consider highly liquid money market investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
        Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenues from product sales upon shipment to the customer (e.g., FOB shipping point) or upon receipt by the customer (e.g., FOB destination), in accordance with the agreed upon customer terms. Revenues from service contracts and long-term maintenance arrangements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the agreement period. Sales with FOB destination terms are primarily to power transformer customers. Sales to distributors with return rights are recognized upon shipment to the distributor with expected returns estimated and accrued at the time of sale. The accrual considers restocking charges for returns and in some cases the distributor must issue a replacement order before the return is authorized. Actual return experience may vary from our estimates. We recognize revenues separately for arrangements with multiple deliverables that meet the criteria for separate units of accounting as defined by the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Codification. The deliverables under these arrangements typically include hardware and software components, installation, maintenance, extended warranties

59



and software upgrades. Amounts allocated to each element are based on its objectively determined fair value, such as the sales price of the product or service when it is sold separately, competitor prices for similar products or our best estimate. The hardware and software components are usually recognized as revenue contemporaneously, as both are required for essential functionality of the products, with the installation being recognized upon completion. Revenues related to maintenance, extended warranties and software upgrades are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the coverage period.
We offer sales incentive programs primarily to effect volume rebates and promotional and advertising allowances. These programs are only significant to one of our business units. The liability for these programs, and the resulting reduction to reported revenues, is determined primarily through trend analysis, historical experience and expectations regarding customer participation.
Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in revenues. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded in cost of products sold. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in our consolidated statements of operations.
In addition, certain of our businesses, primarily within the Power reportable segment, also recognize revenues from long-term construction/installation contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. We recognize revenues for similar short-term contracts using the completed-contract method of accounting.
Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on certain contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may be revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts have not been billed under the terms of the contracts. These amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract. Claims related to long-term contracts are recognized as revenue only after we have determined that collection is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. Claims made by us involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation or other dispute-resolution processes. In the event we incur litigation or other dispute-resolution costs in connection with claims, such costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably estimable.
We recognized $485.3, $633.3 and $731.0 in revenues under the percentage-of-completion method for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, from their inception, and related amounts billed as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Reported as a component of "Accounts receivable, net."
(2) 
Reported as a component of "Accrued expenses."
        Research and Development Costs — We expense research and development costs as incurred. We charge costs incurred in the research and development of new software included in products to expense until technological feasibility is established. After technological feasibility is established, additional eligible costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release. We amortize these costs over the economic lives of the related products and include the amortization in cost of products sold. We perform periodic reviews of the recoverability of these capitalized software costs. At the time we determine that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, we write off any unrecoverable capitalized amounts. Capitalized software, net of amortization, totaled $9.9 and $4.1 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capitalized software amortization expense totaled $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We expensed research activities relating to the development and improvement of our products of $30.4, $32.2 and $32.0 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
        Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We use the straight-line method for computing depreciation expense over the useful lives of PP&E, which do not exceed 40 years for buildings and range from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Depreciation expense, including amortization of capital leases, was $34.0, $37.7 and $39.9 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the related asset or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Interest is capitalized on significant construction or installation projects. No interest was capitalized during 2015, 2014 or 2013.
        Pension and Postretirement — We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses in earnings during the fourth quarter of each year, unless earlier remeasurement is required, as a component of net periodic benefit expense and, accordingly, recognize the effects of plan investment performance, interest rate changes, and changes in actuarial assumptions as a component of earnings in the year in which they occur. The remaining components of pension/postretirement expense, primarily service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis.
        Income Taxes — We account for our income taxes based on the requirements of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification, which includes an estimate of the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.
        Derivative Financial Instruments — We use foreign currency forward contracts ("FX forward contracts") to manage our exposures to fluctuating currency exchange rates, and forward contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials ("commodity contracts"). We have used interest rate protection agreements ("Swaps") to manage our exposures to fluctuating interest rate risk on variable rate debt. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair values of both the derivatives and the hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivatives is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges, and the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, are recorded in current earnings. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
For those transactions that are designated as cash flow hedges, on the date the derivative contract is entered into, we document our hedge relationship, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. We also assess, both at inception and quarterly thereafter, whether such derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item. See Notes 13 and 16 for further information.
Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged, which are primarily operating activities.

(2)    Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues (e.g., our percentage-of-completion estimates described above) and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and base our estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Listed below are certain significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain other estimates and assumptions are further explained in the related notes.
Accounts Receivable Allowances — We provide allowances for estimated losses on uncollectible accounts based on our historical experience and the evaluation of the likelihood of success in collecting specific customer receivables. In addition, we maintain allowances for customer returns, discounts and invoice pricing discrepancies, with such allowances primarily based on historical experience. Summarized below is the activity for these allowance accounts.

Inventory — We estimate losses for excess and/or obsolete inventory and the net realizable value of inventory based on the aging and historical utilization of the inventory and the evaluation of the likelihood of recovering the inventory costs based on anticipated demand and selling price.
Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization — We continually review whether events and circumstances subsequent to the acquisition of any long-lived assets, or intangible assets subject to amortization, have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of those assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of those assets may not be fully recoverable. If events and circumstances indicate that the long-lived assets should be reviewed for possible impairment, we use projections to assess whether future cash flows on an undiscounted basis related to the assets are likely to exceed the related carrying amount. We will record an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value of the assets exceed their fair values as determined by valuation techniques appropriate in the circumstances, which could include the use of similar projections on a discounted basis.
In determining the estimated useful lives of definite-lived intangibles, we consider the nature, competitive position, life cycle position, and historical and expected future operating cash flows of each acquired asset, as well as our commitment to support these assets through continued investment and legal infringement protection.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets — We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and continually assess whether a triggering event has occurred to determine whether the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value. The fair value of reporting units is based generally on discounted projected cash flows, but we also consider factors such as comparable industry price multiples. We employ cash flow projections that we believe to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting units. Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets that they serve. Accordingly, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future cash flow projections, including principal methods of competition, such as volume, price, service, product performance and technical innovations, as well as estimates associated with cost reduction initiatives, capacity utilization and assumptions for inflation and foreign currency changes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See Note 8 for further information, including discussion of impairment charges recorded in 2015 and 2014.

Accrued Expenses — We make estimates and judgments in establishing accruals as required under GAAP. Summarized in the table below are the components of accrued expenses at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

(3) 
The balance at December 31, 2015 includes $25.3 related to our dry cooling business. As indicated in Note 1, on November 20, 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell the dry cooling business. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the dry cooling business have been classified as "held for sale" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. See Note 4 for information on the assets and liabilities of the dry cooling business as of December 31, 2015.
        Legal — It is our policy to accrue for estimated losses from legal actions or claims when events exist that make the realization of the losses probable and they can be reasonably estimated. We do not discount legal obligations or reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries.
        Environmental Remediation Costs — We expense costs incurred to investigate and remediate environmental issues unless they extend the economic useful lives of related assets. We record liabilities when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. 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. We generally do not discount environmental obligations or reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries.
        Risk Management Matters — We are subject to claims associated with risk management matters (e.g., product liability, predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials, general liability, automobile, and workers’ compensation claims). The liabilities we record for these claims are based on a number of assumptions, including historical claims and payment experience and, with respect to asbestos claims, actuarial estimates of the future period during which additional claims are reasonably foreseeable. We also have recorded insurance recovery assets associated with the asbestos product liability matters. These assets represent amounts that we believe we are or will be entitled to recover under agreements we have with insurance companies. The assets we record for these insurance recoveries are based on a number of assumptions, including the continued solvency of the insurers, and are subject to a variety of uncertainties. In addition, we are self-insured for certain of our workers' compensation, automobile, product, general liability, disability and health costs, and we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liabilities. Our accruals for self-insurance liabilities are based on claims filed and an estimate 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; however, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. The key assumptions considered in estimating the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and the estimated costs associated with incurred but not yet reported claims include, among other things, our historical and industry claims experience, trends in health care and administrative costs, our current and future risk management programs, and historical lag studies with regard to the timing between when a claim is incurred and reported. See Note 14 for additional details.
        Warranty — In the normal course of business, we issue product warranties for specific products and provide for the estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. We provide for the estimate of warranty cost based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, claims costs

63



may differ from amounts provided. In addition, due to the seasonal fluctuations at certain of our businesses, the timing of warranty provisions and the usage of warranty accruals can vary period to period. We make adjustments to initial obligations for warranties as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable. The following is an analysis of our product warranty accrual for the periods presented:

__________________________________________________________________
        Income Taxes — We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are classified as "Income taxes payable" and "Deferred and other income taxes" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on an expectation as to the timing of when the matter will be resolved. As events change or resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities. For tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority, assuming such authority has full knowledge of all relevant information. These reviews also entail analyzing the realization of deferred tax assets. When we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize a benefit for a deferred tax asset based on all available evidence, we establish a valuation allowance.
        Employee Benefit Plans — Defined benefit plans cover a portion of our salaried and hourly employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. As discussed in Note 1, we recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses associated with our pension and postretirement benefit plans in earnings during the fourth quarter of each year, unless earlier remeasurement is required, as a component of net periodic benefit expense. The remaining components of pension/postretirement expense, primarily service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. See Note 10 for further discussion of our pension and postretirement benefits.
We derive pension expense from an actuarial calculation based on the defined benefit plans' provisions and our assumptions regarding discount rate and rate of increase in compensation levels. We determine the discount rate for our more significant U.S. plans by matching the expected projected benefit obligation cash flows of the plans to a yield curve that is representative of long-term, high-quality (rated AA or higher) fixed income debt instruments as of the measurement date. For our other plans, we determine the discount rate based on representative bond indices. The rate of increase in compensation levels is established based on our expectations of current and foreseeable future increases in compensation. We also consult with independent actuaries in determining these assumptions.
(3)    New Accounting Pronouncements
The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an amendment to guidance to resolve the diversity in practice relating to a parent entity's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") upon derecognition of foreign subsidiaries or groups of assets. The amendment requires that any CTA related to the parent entity's investment in a foreign entity be released into earnings when a sale or transfer of the foreign subsidiary or group of assets results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and must be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2014, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance to resolve the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward (collectively, a "carryforward") exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for the carryforward, except to the extent

64



(i) the carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or (ii) the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose. In these cases, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This amendment applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a carryforward exists at the reporting date. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and must be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, with retrospective application permitted. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2014, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the 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 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 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and shall be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2015, with the Spin-Off presented in accordance with this amendment.
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 currently are evaluating the effect that this new standard will have on our 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. An amendment to this standard was issued in August 2015 that permits entities to present debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and subsequently amortize such debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. 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 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 amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and shall be applied prospectively. We early adopted the provisions of this amendment during the third quarter of 2015 in connection with an amendment to certain of our U.S. pension plans during the period. See Note 10 for additional information on the adoption of this amendment and the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance that simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amended guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-

65



current in a statement of financial position. Although earlier application is permitted, the amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with prospective or retrospective adoption permitted. We early adopted the amendment, on a prospective basis, resulting in the classification of our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as non-current within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. The adoption had no impact on the amounts within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.

Transition Services Agreement - On September 26, 2015 in connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a transition services agreement with SPX FLOW, under which SPX FLOW or certain of its subsidiaries provide us, and we provide SPX FLOW or certain of its subsidiaries, with certain services to help ensure an orderly transition following the Spin-Off (the "Transition Services Agreement"). The services we agreed to provide to SPX FLOW include information technology, human resources, finance and financial reporting, and other administrative services. The services SPX FLOW has agreed to provide to us include information technology, human resources, finance and financial reporting, tax compliance, facility access and other administrative services. The charges for these services are intended to allow SPX FLOW or us, as applicable, to recover the direct and indirect costs incurred in providing such services. The Transition Services Agreement generally provides for a term of services starting at the Spin-Off date and continuing for a period of up to twelve months following the Spin-Off. Other than with respect to certain fixed-term pass-through services, the applicable recipient of services may terminate any transition services it is receiving upon thirty days' prior notice to the other party, with any extension or renewal of the Transition Services Agreement or the services provided thereunder requiring mutual agreement between SPX FLOW and us.
Other Agreements with SPX FLOW - In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into other definitive agreements with SPX that, among other matters, set forth the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off and provide a framework for our relationship with SPX FLOW after the Spin-Off, including the following:
Separation and Distribution Agreement
Tax Matters Agreement

67



Employee Matters Agreement
Trademark License Agreement
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement between us and SPX FLOW, SPX FLOW has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we have agreed to indemnify SPX FLOW for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts. As of December 31, 2015, no indemnification claims have been initiated.
The financial activity governed by these agreements between SPX FLOW and us is not material to our consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015.
We also entered into a five-year agreement with SPX FLOW to lease office space for our corporate headquarters. Annual lease costs associated with the agreement are $2.1.
Other Discontinued Operations Activity
        Fenn — Sold for cash consideration of $3.5 during 2014, resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $0.4.
        Precision Components — Sold for cash consideration of $62.6 during 2014 (inclusive of cash paid of $0.4 associated with the working capital settlement), resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $6.9.
        TPS — Sold for cash consideration of $42.5 during 2014, resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $21.7.
        Dielectric — Sold assets of the business during 2013 for cash consideration of $4.7, resulting in a gain of less than $0.1.
        Kayex — Closed the business during 2013. We recorded a gain, net of taxes, of $1.3 during 2013 associated primarily with a gain on the sale of a perpetual license related to certain of the business's intangible assets, which was partially offset by a loss related to severance costs and asset impairment charges. Proceeds from the sale of the perpetual license totaled $6.9.
In addition to the businesses discussed above, we recognized net losses of $5.2, $1.1 and $5.3 during 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on dispositions of businesses discontinued prior to 2013.
Changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur. As such, it is possible that the resulting gains/losses on these and other previous divestitures may be materially adjusted in subsequent periods.
For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, selected information regarding the results of operations of our businesses included in discontinued operations, other than SPX FLOW, was as follows:

We are a global supplier of highly specialized, engineered solutions with operations in approximately 20 countries and sales in over 100 countries around the world.
As indicated in Note 1, during the third quarter of 2015, we realigned our segment reporting structure. Under the realigned structure, we have aggregated our operating segments into the following three reportable segments: HVAC, Detection and Measurement, and Power. 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, distribution methods, and regulatory environment. 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 CODM evaluates the results of each segment.

___________________________________________________________________
(1) 
As further discussed in Note 14, during the third quarter of 2015, we made revisions to our estimates of expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa. As a result of these revisions, we reduced revenue and segment income by $57.2 and $95.0, respectively, during the third quarter of 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2014, we reduced the revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa by $25.0 due to schedule delays and financial challenges faced by certain of our subcontractors.
As of December 31, 2015, certain of these projects had cumulative losses. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded losses of approximately $105.0 and 9.2, respectively, related to these projects. There were no losses recorded on these projects during the year ended December 31, 2013.
(2) 
As further discussed in Notes 1 and 18, we identified certain misstatements associated with previously reported amounts. To correct these misstatements, and as permitted by SAB Topic 1.N, we have restated prior period consolidated financial statements included herein, including a reduction of segment income of $0.9 and $2.4 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, when compared to the amounts previously reported.
(3) 
Revenues are included in the above geographic areas based on the country that recorded the customer revenue.
(6)    Special Charges, Net
As part of our business strategy, we periodically right-size and consolidate operations to improve long-term results. Additionally, from time to time, we alter our business model to better serve customer demand, discontinue lower-margin product lines and rationalize and consolidate manufacturing capacity. Our restructuring and integration decisions are based, in part, on discounted cash flows and are designed to achieve our goals of reducing structural footprint and maximizing profitability. As a result of our strategic review process, we recorded net special charges of $17.8 in 2015, $9.3 in 2014 and $17.9 in 2013. These net special charges were primarily related to restructuring initiatives to consolidate manufacturing and sales facilities, reduce workforce, and rationalize certain product lines.

71



The components of the charges have been computed based on actual cash payouts, including severance and other employee benefits based on existing severance policies, local laws, and other estimated exit costs, and our estimate of the realizable value of the affected tangible and intangible assets.
Impairments of long-lived assets, including amortizable intangibles, which represent non-cash asset write-downs, typically arise from business restructuring decisions that lead to the disposition of assets no longer required in the restructured business. For these situations, we recognize a loss when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Fair values for assets subject to impairment testing are determined primarily by management, taking into consideration various factors including third-party appraisals, quoted market prices and previous experience. If an asset remains in service at the decision date, the asset is written down to its fair value and the resulting net book value is depreciated over its remaining economic useful life. When we commit to a plan to sell an asset, including the initiation of a plan to locate a buyer, and it is probable that the asset will be sold within one year based on its current condition and sales price, depreciation of the asset is discontinued and the asset is classified as an asset held for sale. The asset is written down to its fair value less any selling costs.
Liabilities for exit costs, including, among other things, severance, other employee benefit costs, and operating lease obligations on idle facilities, are measured initially at their fair value and recorded when incurred.
We anticipate that the liabilities related to restructuring actions will be paid within one year from the period in which the action was initiated.
Special charges for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are described in more detail below and in the applicable sections that follow:

Consistent with the requirements of the Intangible — Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification, the fair values of our reporting units generally are estimated using discounted cash flow projections that we believe to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting units. Other considerations are also incorporated, including comparable industry price multiples. Many of our reporting units closely follow changes in the industries and end markets that they serve. Accordingly, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future cash flow projections, including principal methods of competition such as volume, price, service, product performance and technical innovations and estimates associated with cost improvement initiatives, capacity utilization and assumptions for inflation and foreign currency changes. Any significant change in market conditions and estimates or judgments used to determine expected future cash flows that indicate a reduction in carrying value may give rise to impairment in the period that the change becomes known.
As indicated in Note 1, in connection with the change in reportable segments, we reallocated goodwill among certain of our reporting units based on the respective fair values of such reporting units.
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. Based on our annual goodwill impairment testing in 2015, we recorded an impairment charge of $13.7 relating to the Balcke Duerr reporting unit within our Power reportable segment, which represented all of Balcke Duerr's goodwill. Additionally, the estimated fair value of one reporting unit within our Power reportable segment exceeded the carrying value of its net assets by less than 10%, with the amount of goodwill for this reporting unit totaling $25.2 at December 31, 2015. The estimated fair value of such reporting unit was based in part on the expected proceeds from the sale of our dry cooling business (see Note 1). The estimated fair value of each of our other reporting units exceeds the carrying value of their respective net assets by at least 10%.
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. The basis for these projected revenues is the annual operating plan for each of the related businesses, which is prepared in the fourth quarter of each year.
As indicated in Note 1, we understated a fourth quarter 2014 impairment charge relating to certain trademarks within our Power reportable segment by $2.5. We have corrected this misstatement in the accompanying consolidated financial statements by (i) increasing the impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2014 to $10.9 (from the $8.4 originally reported) and (ii) reducing “Intangibles, net” and Retained earnings” as of December 31, 2014 by $2.5.
In addition to the aforementioned charge of $10.9, we recorded an impairment charge during the fourth quarter of 2014 of $18.0 related to our Cooling Power reporting unit's investment in the Shanghai Electric joint venture. Other changes in the gross values of trademarks and other identifiable intangible assets related primarily to foreign currency translation.
(9)    Investments in Joint Ventures
As of December 31, 2013, we had a joint venture, EGS Electrical Group, LLC and Subsidiaries ("EGS"), with Emerson Electric Co., in which we held a 44.5% interest. EGS operates primarily in the United States, Brazil, Canada and France, and is engaged in the manufacture of electrical fittings, hazardous location lighting and power conditioning products. We accounted for our investment using the equity method, on a three-month lag basis, and we typically received our share of the joint venture's earnings in cash dividends paid quarterly.
On January 7, 2014, we completed the sale of our 44.5% interest in EGS 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 (expense), net" and there were no equity earnings related to this investment during 2014.
EGS's results of operations and selected other information for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 were as follows:

(10)    Employee Benefit Plans
Overview — Defined benefit pension plans cover a portion of our salaried and hourly paid employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Beginning in 2001, we discontinued providing these pension benefits generally to newly hired employees. In addition, we no longer provide service credits to certain active participants. Of the U.S. employees covered by a defined benefit pension plan and actively accruing a benefit, most are part of a collectively bargained plan.
We have domestic postretirement plans that provide health and life insurance benefits to certain retirees and their dependents. Beginning in 2003, we discontinued providing these postretirement benefits generally to newly hired employees. Some of these plans require retiree contributions at varying rates. Not all retirees are eligible to receive these benefits, with eligibility governed by the plan(s) in effect at a particular location.
The plan year-end date for all our plans is December 31.
Transfers of Retiree Pension Obligations and Lump-Sum Offer — In 2013, we executed an agreement to transfer obligations for monthly pension payments to retirees under the SPX U.S. Pension Plan (the "U.S. Plan") to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Mass Mutual"). Under the agreement, Mass Mutual irrevocably assumed the obligation to make future pension payments to the approximately 16,000 retirees of the U.S. Plan beginning in the second quarter of 2014. The U.S. Plan paid Mass Mutual $663.7 in 2013 to assume obligations totaling approximately $609.0. The partial annuitization of the U.S. Plan resulted in a settlement gain of $4.8, which has been included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2013. During 2014 the above settlement gain was increased by an additional $4.8 due to refunds by Mass Mutual to the U.S. Plan, with such gain included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2014. Additionally, during a designated election period in the first quarter of 2014, we offered approximately 7,100 eligible former employees 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 the first quarter of 2014. In connection with the lump-sum payment action, a settlement loss and an actuarial loss of $4.6 and $14.8, respectively,were recorded to net periodic pension benefit expense, with the actuarial loss resulting from the remeasurement of the assets and obligations of the U.S. Plan.
In 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 for 2014.
On July 14, 2015, we amended the U.S. Plan and the Supplemental Individual Account Retirement Plan (‘‘SIARP’’) to freeze all benefits for active non-union participants. The amendment resulted in a curtailment gain of $5.1. In connection with the amendment, we remeasured the assets and liabilities of the U.S. Plan and the SIARP as of June 30, 2015, which resulted in a charge to net periodic pension benefit expense of $11.4, which has been included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2015.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Plan assets — Our investment strategy is based on the long-term growth and protection of principle while mitigating overall risk to ensure that funds are available to pay benefit obligations. The domestic plan assets are invested in a broad range of investment classes, including fixed income securities and domestic and international equities. We engage various investment managers who are regularly evaluated on long-term performance, adherence to investment guidelines and the ability to manage risk commensurate with the investment style and objective for which they were hired. We continuously monitor the value of assets by class and routinely rebalance our portfolio with the goal of meeting our target allocations.
The strategy for bonds emphasizes investment-grade corporate and government debt with maturities matching a portion of the longer duration pension liabilities. The bonds strategy also includes a high yield element, which is generally shorter in duration. The strategy for equity assets is to minimize concentrations of risk by investing primarily in companies in a diversified mix of industries worldwide, while targeting neutrality in exposure to global versus regional markets, fund types and fund managers. A small portion of U.S. plan assets is allocated to private equity partnerships and real estate asset fund investments for diversification, providing opportunities for above market returns.
Allowable investments under the plan agreements include fixed income securities, equity securities, mutual funds, venture capital funds, real estate and cash and equivalents. In addition, investments in futures and option contracts, commodities and other derivatives are allowed in commingled fund allocations managed by professional investment managers. Investments prohibited under the plan agreements include private placements and short selling of stock. No shares of our common stock were held by our defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2015 or 2014.
Actual asset allocation percentages of each class of our domestic and foreign pension plan assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, along with the targeted asset investment allocation percentages, each of which is based on the midpoint of an allocation range, were as follows:

Short-term investments are generally invested in actively managed common trust funds or interest-bearing accounts. As of December 31, 2015, and in connection with a transition to a new investment advisor, the UK Plan had a significant amount of its assets invested in short-term investments. Following the engagement of the new investment advisor for the UK Plan, we anticipate that asset allocations for the UK Plan and aggregate asset allocations for our foreign plans will be more in-line with targeted allocations.

Our domestic pension plans participate in a securities lending program through J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, National Association. Securities loaned are required to be fully collateralized by cash or other securities. The gross collateral and the related liability to return collateral amounted to $5.5 and $7.0 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and have been included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy in the tables above.
During 2015, the balance of our Corporate bonds and US Government securities asset classes were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (the fair value of these asset classes were $44.8 and $48.5 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively). During 2014, there were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. It is our policy to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Employer Contributions — We currently fund U.S. pension plans in amounts equal to the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus additional amounts that may be approved from time to time. During 2015, we made no contributions to our qualified domestic pension plans, and direct benefit payments of $12.3 to our non-qualified domestic pension plans. In 2016, we do not expect to make any minimum required funding contributions to our qualified domestic pension plans and expect to make direct benefit payments of $9.8 to our non-qualified domestic pension plans.
Many of our foreign plan obligations are unfunded in accordance with local laws. These plans have no assets and instead are funded by us on a pay as you go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. In 2015, we made contributions of $6.3 to our foreign plans that are funded, which included $5.6 of contributions that relate to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations. In addition, we made direct benefit payments of $2.3 to our foreign plans that are unfunded, including $2.0 associated with plans that were transferred to SPX FLOW upon the Spin-Off. In 2016, we expect to make minimum required funding contributions of $2.2, including $1.8 of contributions that relate to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations, and $0.3 of direct benefit payments to our foreign pension plans.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments — Following is a summary, as of December 31, 2015, of the estimated future benefit payments for our pension plans in each of the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate for five fiscal years thereafter. Benefit payments are paid from plan assets or directly by us for our non-funded plans. The expected benefit payments are estimated based on the same assumptions used at December 31, 2015 to measure our obligations and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service.

Obligations and Funded Status — The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of market interest rates. The combined unfunded status of our pension plans as of December 31, 2015 has decreased since December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of (i) a transfer to SPX FLOW of the obligation of the "Top Management Plan" related to SPX FLOW executive officers, (ii) higher discount rates being used to value the domestic and foreign plans and (iii) changes in mortality rate assumptions used to value the domestic plans in 2015 compared to 2014, partially offset by lower returns on plan assets in 2015. Our non-funded pension plans account for $85.7 of the current underfunded status, as these plans are not required to be funded.

We review the pension assumptions annually. Pension income or expense for the year is determined using assumptions as of the beginning of the year (except for the effects of recognizing changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses in the fourth quarter of each year), while the funded status is determined using assumptions as of the end of the year. We determined assumptions and established them at the respective balance sheet date using the following principles: (i) the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is established based on forward looking long-term expectations of asset returns over the expected period to fund participant benefits based on the target investment mix of our plans; (ii) the discount rate is determined by matching the expected projected benefit obligation cash flows for each of the plans to a yield curve that is representative of long-term, high-quality (rated AA or higher) fixed income debt instruments as of the measurement date; and (iii) the rate of increase in compensation

85



levels is established based on our expectations of current and foreseeable future increases in compensation. In addition, we consider advice from independent actuaries.
Postretirement Benefit Plans
Employer Contributions and Future Benefit Payments — Our postretirement medical plans are unfunded and have no plan assets, but are instead funded by us on a pay as you go basis in the form of direct benefit payments or policy premium payments. In 2015, we made benefit payments of $9.4 (net of federal subsidies of $0.2) to our postretirement benefit plans. Following is a summary, as of December 31, 2015, of the estimated future benefit payments and expected federal subsidies for our postretirement plans in each of the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate for five fiscal years thereafter. The expected benefit payments and federal subsidies are estimated based on the same assumptions used at December 31, 2015 to measure our obligations and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service.

The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using the terms and conditions of our various plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates. It is our policy to review the postretirement assumptions annually. The assumptions are determined by us and are established based on our prior experience and our expectations that future rates will decline. In addition, we consider advice from independent actuaries.
Assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement benefit plans. Including the effects of recognizing actuarial gains and losses into earnings, a one percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have increased our estimated 2015 postretirement expense by $5.8, and a one percentage point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have decreased our estimated 2015 postretirement expense by $5.1.
Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
We maintain a defined contribution retirement plan (the "DC Plan") pursuant to Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Under the DC Plan, eligible U.S. employees may voluntarily contribute up to 50% of their compensation into the DC Plan and we match a portion of participating employees' contributions. Our matching contributions are primarily made in newly issued shares of company common stock and are issued at the prevailing market price. The matching contributions vest with the employee immediately upon the date of the match and there are no restrictions on the resale of common stock held by employees.
Under the DC Plan, we contributed 0.434, 0.167 and 0.206 shares of our common stock to employee accounts in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market value of shares as the shares are contributed to employee accounts. We recorded $10.2 in 2015, $10.3 in 2014 and $9.4 in 2013 as compensation expense related to the matching contribution.
Certain collectively-bargained employees participate in the DC Plan with company contributions not being made in company common stock, although company common stock is offered as an investment option under these plans.
We also maintain a Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan ("SRSP"), which permits certain members of our senior management and executive groups to defer eligible compensation in excess of the amounts allowed under the DC Plan. We match a portion of participating employees' deferrals to the extent allowable under the SRSP provisions. The matching contributions vest with the participant immediately. Our funding of the participants' deferrals and our

87



matching contributions are held in certain mutual funds (as allowed under the SRSP), as directed by the participant. The fair values of these assets, which totaled $20.0 and $26.0 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). In addition, the assets under the SRSP are available to the general creditors in the event of our bankruptcy and, thus, are maintained on our consolidated balance sheets within other non-current assets, with a corresponding amount in other long-term liabilities for our obligation to the participants. Lastly, these assets are accounted for as trading securities. During 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recorded compensation expense of $0.7, $0.6 and $0.3, respectively, relating to our matching contributions to the SRSP.

Represents deferred tax assets and liabilities related to both continuing and discontinued operations, with net deferred tax liabilities associated with discontinued operations totaling $143.9. As discussed in Notes 1 and 18, certain corrections were made to deferred income taxes resulting in an increase of net deferred tax liabilities of $1.3.
General Matters
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess deferred tax assets to determine if they are likely to be realized and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, incorporating the results of local, state, federal and foreign tax audits in our estimates and judgments.
At December 31, 2015, we had the following tax loss carryforwards available: state tax loss carryforwards of approximately $433.0 and tax losses of various foreign jurisdictions of approximately $221.0. We also had federal and state tax credit carryforwards of $6.0. Of these amounts, $0.3 expire in 2016 and $452.7 expire at various times between 2016 and 2035. The remaining carryforwards have no expiration date.
Realization of deferred tax assets, including those associated with net operating loss and credit carryforwards, is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate tax jurisdiction. We believe that it is more likely than not that we may not realize the benefit of certain of these deferred tax assets and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings or tax planning strategies. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if our estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or tax planning strategies are no longer viable. The valuation allowance decreased by $82.0 in 2015 and increased by $3.6 in 2014. The most significant driver of the 2015 decrease was the impact of the Spin-Off, partially offset by the losses generated during the year for our large power projects in South Africa.
The amount of income tax that we pay annually is dependent on various factors, including the timing of certain deductions. These deductions can vary from year to year, and, consequently, the amount of income taxes paid in future years will vary from the amounts paid in prior years.

89



Undistributed Foreign Earnings
In general, it is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. As of December 31, 2015, we had not recorded a provision for U.S. or foreign withholding taxes on approximately $33.0 of the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. Generally, such amounts become subject to U.S. taxation upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of a deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries, in the event that these earnings are no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested, due to the hypothetical nature of the calculation.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of December 31, 2015, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $48.8 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $30.1), all of which, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate from continuing operations. Similarly, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $63.3 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $33.9) and $128.4 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $72.9), respectively.
We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax provision. As of December 31, 2015, gross accrued interest totaled $5.4 (net accrued interest of $4.5), while the related amounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $5.9 (net accrued interest of $4.9) and $12.4 (net accrued interest of $8.6), respectively. Our income tax (provision) benefit for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 included gross interest income of $0.2, $0.9 and $0.2, respectively, resulting from a reduction in our liability for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no accrual for penalties included in our unrecognized tax benefits, while the related amount as of December 31, 2013 was $7.1. Our income tax (provision) benefit for the year ended December 31, 2014 included a benefit of $7.1 for the reversal of penalties previously accrued, resulting primarily from audit settlements during the year. No amount for penalties was included in the income tax (provision) benefit for the years ended December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2013.
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 $6.0 to $10.0. The previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax matters including deemed income inclusions, transfer pricing and various state matters.
The aggregate changes in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Other Tax Matters
During 2015, our income tax provision was impacted by (i) the effects of approximately $139.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the year (the majority of which relate to our large projects in South Africa) for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely, (ii) $3.7 of foreign taxes incurred during the year related to the Spin-Off and the reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the Spin-Off, and (iii) $3.4 of taxes related to various audit settlements, statute expirations, and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

90



During 2014, our income tax provision was impacted by the U.S. income taxes provided in connection with the $491.2 gain on the sale of our interest in EGS and by the following income tax charges: (i) $33.8 related to net increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets and (ii) $11.4 related to the repatriation of certain earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, our income tax provision was impacted unfavorably by a low effective tax rate on foreign losses. The impact of these items was partially offset by the following income tax benefits: (i) $16.2 of tax benefits related to various audit settlements, statute expirations and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions, with the most notable being the closure of our U.S. tax examination for the years 2008 through 2011, and (ii) $6.4 of tax benefits related to a loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary.
During 2013, our income tax provision was impacted by the following income tax benefits: (i) $9.5 related to net reductions in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets; (ii) $4.1 related to various audit settlements and statute expirations; and (iii) $4.1 associated with the Research and Experimentation Credit generated in 2012.
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 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 2013 and 2014 tax years and those returns are subject to examination. 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. 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 Germany for the 2010 through 2013 tax years. 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 examinations are still in process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.

_____________________________________________________________

(1) 
As noted below, both SPX and SPX FLOW entered into separate credit agreements in connection with the Spin-Off. On September 24, 2015, the lenders provided the initial funding under each of these credit agreements. The proceeds from the initial funding were used in part to repay indebtedness under SPX's prior credit facilities, with such repayments totaling $224.0 for the revolving loans and $560.6 for the term loan.
(2) 
The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 5.0% annually, beginning in the third fiscal quarter of 2016. The remaining balance is repayable in full on September 24, 2020.
(3) 
In connection with the Spin-Off, the 6.875% senior notes became an obligation of SPX FLOW. Accordingly, the related balance of $600.0 has been reflected in "Liabilities of discontinued operations - non current" in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In addition, there is "Other indebtedness" related to SPX FLOW totaling $36.6 at December 31, 2014, with such balance reflected in "Liabilities of discontinued operations - current" and "Liabilities of discontinued operations - non current" in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.
(4) 
Under this arrangement, we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $50.0, as available. At December 31, 2015, we had $40.1 of available borrowing capacity under this facility.
(5) 
Primarily included capital lease obligations of $1.7 and $13.6, balances under purchase card programs of $4.8 and $32.1, and other borrowings under a line of credit in China of $17.3 and $0, at December 31, 2015 and 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.
(6) 
Represents debt of SPX FLOW that is no longer an obligation of SPX as a result of the Spin-Off.
(7) 
"Other" primarily included foreign currency translation on debt instruments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, partially offset by debt assumed.
Maturities of long-term debt payable during each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2015 are $9.1, $18.0, $17.8, $17.8 and $288.9, respectively.

Senior Credit Facilities
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated September 1, 2015, ("Effective Date") with a syndicate of lenders that provided for committed senior secured financing in the aggregate amount of $1,200.0, consisting of the following (each with a final maturity of September 24, 2020):
A term loan facility in an aggregate principle amount of $350.0;
A domestic revolving credit facility, available for loans and letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount up to $200.0;
A global revolving credit facility, available for loans in Euros, GBP and other currencies, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $150.0;
A participation foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $300.0; and
A bilateral foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $200.0.
In addition, SPX FLOW entered into a credit agreement, dated September 1, 2015, with a syndicate of lenders that provided for committed senior secured financing in the aggregate amount of $1,350.0 (the "SPX FLOW Credit Agreement"). As a result of the Spin-Off, we have no obligations under the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement.
On September 24, 2015, the lenders provided the initial funding under the Credit Agreement and the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the initial borrowings were used in part to repay indebtedness outstanding under our amended and restated credit agreement, dated December 31, 2013 (the "December 2013 Credit Agreement"). The December 2013 Credit Agreement terminated on September 24, 2015 upon the repayment of such indebtedness.
The term loan under the Credit Agreement is repayable in quarterly installments (with annual aggregate repayments, as a percentage of the initial principal amount of $350.0, of 5.0%, beginning in the third calendar quarter of 2016), with the remaining balance repayable in full on September 24, 2020.
We also may seek additional commitments, without consent from the existing lenders, to add an incremental term loan facility and/or increase the commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and/or the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility by an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (i) $300.0 plus (ii) an unlimited amount so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto, our Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings, or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination secured by liens to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date) does not exceed 2.75:1.00 plus (iii) an amount equal to all voluntary prepayments of the term loan facility and voluntary prepayments accompanied by permanent commitment reductions of revolving credit facilities and foreign credit instrument facilities.
We are the borrower under each of the above facilities, and certain of our foreign subsidiaries are (and we may designate other foreign subsidiaries to be) borrowers under the global revolving credit facility and the foreign credit instrument facilities. All borrowings and other extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.
The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by SPX on behalf of any of our subsidiaries or certain joint ventures. The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support our foreign operations.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement are, at our option, equal to either (i) an alternate base rate (the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (ii) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate for dollars (Eurodollars) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings and analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date). We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months (and, if consented to by all relevant lenders,

93



twelve months) for Eurodollar borrowings. The per annum fees charged and the interest rate margins applicable to Eurodollar and alternate base rate loans are as follows:

The weighted-average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facilities was approximately 2.2% at December 31, 2015.
The fees and bilateral foreign credit commitments are as specified above for foreign credit commitments unless otherwise agreed with the bilateral foreign issuing lender. We also pay fronting fees on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit and foreign credit instruments (in the participation facility) at the rates of 0.125% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively.
The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions) by SPX or our subsidiaries. Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay, first, amounts outstanding under any term loans and, then, amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days (and if committed to be reinvested, actually reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 360-day period) of the receipt of such proceeds.
We may voluntarily prepay loans under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by:
Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary with specified exceptions; and
SPX with respect to the obligations of our foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by SPX or our domestic subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of our material first-tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions). If SPX obtains a corporate credit rating from Moody’s and S&P and such corporate credit rating is less than “Ba2” (or not rated) by Moody’s and less than “BB” (or not rated) by S&P, then SPX and our domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all of their assets. If SPX’s corporate credit rating is “Baa3” or better by Moody’s or “BBB-” or better by S&P and no defaults would exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will be unsecured.
The Credit Agreement requires that SPX maintain:

A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated cash interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and
A Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters after certain permitted acquisitions).

94



The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees, or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock, and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.
We are permitted under the Credit Agreement to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) less than 2.50 to 1.00. If our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $50.0 in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after the Effective Date equal to the sum of (i) $100.0 plus (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as consolidated net income subject to certain adjustments solely for the purposes of determining this basket) during the period from the Effective Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) plus (iii) certain other amounts.
At December 31, 2015, we had $301.9 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to $48.1 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at December 31, 2015, we had $224.1 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $275.9 reserved for outstanding letters of credit.
At December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants of our Credit Agreement.
Other Borrowings and Financing Activities
Certain of our businesses purchase goods and services under purchase card programs allowing for payment beyond their normal payment terms. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the participating businesses had $4.8 and $32.1, respectively, outstanding under these arrangements.
We are party to a trade receivables financing agreement, whereby we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $50.0. Availability of funds may fluctuate over time given changes in eligible receivable balances, but will not exceed the $50.0 program limit. The facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for facilities of this type. The facility does not contain any covenants that we view as materially constraining to the activities of our business.
(13)    Derivative Financial Instruments
Currency Forward Contracts and Currency Forward Embedded Derivatives
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, CNY and GBP.
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

95



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 $139.8 and $212.5 outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Of our outstanding contracts as of December 31, 2015, $136.8 and $3.0 are scheduled to mature in 2016 and 2017, respectively. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $120.8 and $192.6 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with scheduled maturities of $88.4, $28.0 and $4.4 in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The unrealized losses, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts were $0.6 and $0.3 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized losses as of December 31, 2015 to income over the next 12 months. The net loss recorded in "Other income (expense), net" related to FX forward contracts and embedded derivatives totaled $1.6 in 2015, $2.6 in 2014 and $0.3 in 2013.
Commodity Contracts
From time to time, we enter into commodity contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials. The outstanding notional amount of commodity contracts was 4.2 pounds of copper at both December 31, 2015 and 2014. 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 December 31, 2015 and 2014, the fair value of these contracts was $1.7 (current liabilities) and $1.4 (current liabilities), respectively. The unrealized loss, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI was $1.2 and $1.0 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized loss as of December 31, 2015 to income over the next 12 months.

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, 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

97



able to fully 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. We mitigate our credit risks 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.

We lease certain manufacturing facilities, offices, sales and service locations, machinery and equipment, vehicles and office equipment under various leasing programs accounted for as operating and capital leases, some of which include scheduled rent increases stated in the lease agreement. We do not have any significant leases that require rental payments based on contingent events nor have we received any significant lease incentive payments.
Operating Leases
The future minimum rental payments under operating leases with remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year are:

General
Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business have been asserted or are pending against us or certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, “claims”). These claims relate to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property and competitive claims), environmental matters, product liability matters (predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials), and other risk management matters (e.g., general liability, automobile, and workers' compensation claims). Additionally, we may become subject to other claims of which we are currently unaware, which may be significant, or the claims of which we are aware may result in our incurring significantly greater loss than we anticipate. While we (and our subsidiaries) 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 significant portion of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., in the case 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.
Our recorded liabilities related to these matters totaled $591.1 (including $534.4 for asbestos product liability matters) and $577.6 (including $515.4 for asbestos product liability matters) at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Of these amounts, $552.8 and $545.1 are included in "Other long-term liabilities" within our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with the remainder included in "Accrued expenses." The liabilities we record for these claims are based on a number of assumptions, including historical claims and payment experience and, with respect to asbestos claims, actuarial estimates of the future period during which additional claims are reasonably foreseeable. While we base our assumptions on facts currently known to us, they entail inherently subjective judgments and uncertainties. As a result, our current assumptions for estimating these liabilities may not

prove accurate, and we may be required to adjust these liabilities in the future, which could result in charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Our asbestos-related claims are typical in certain of the industries in which we operate or pertain to legacy businesses we no longer operate. It is not unusual in these cases for fifty or more corporate entities to be named as defendants. We vigorously defend these claims, many of which are dismissed without payment, and the significant majority of costs related to these claims have historically been paid pursuant to our insurance arrangements. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, our payments for asbestos-related matters, net of insurance recoveries, were $6.9, $5.5 and $4.3, respectively. A significant increase in claims, costs and/or issues with existing insurance coverage (e.g., dispute with or insolvency of insurer(s)) could have a material adverse impact on our share of future payments related to these matters, and, as such, have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
We have recorded insurance recovery assets associated with the asbestos product liability matters, with such amounts totaling $493.3 and $479.1 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and included in "Other assets" within our consolidated balance sheets. These assets represent amounts that we believe we are or will be entitled to recover under agreements we have with insurance companies. The assets we record for these insurance recoveries are based on a number of assumptions, including the continued solvency of the insurers, and are subject to a variety of uncertainties. Our current assumptions for estimating these assets may not prove accurate, and we may be required to adjust these assets in the future, which could result in additional charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded charges of $11.2 and $4.6, respectively, as a result of changes in estimates associated with the liabilities and assets related to asbestos product liability matters. Of these charges, $8.0 and $3.1 were recorded to “Other income (expense), net” for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $3.2 and $1.5, respectively, to “Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax.” There were no such charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Large Power Projects in South Africa
The business environment surrounding our large power projects in South Africa remains difficult, as we continue to experience delays, cost over-runs, and various other challenges associated with a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, prime contractors, various subcontractors (including us and our subcontractors), and various suppliers. We currently are involved in a number of claim disputes relating to these challenges. We are pursuing various commercial alternatives for addressing these challenges, in attempt to mitigate our overall financial exposure. During the third quarter of 2015, we gained considerable insight into the path forward for completing these projects, including our remaining scope, the estimated costs for completing such scope, and our expected recoverability of costs from the prime contractors and our subcontractors. In response to this new information, we revised our estimates of revenues, costs and profits associated with the projects. These revisions resulted in an increase in our “Loss from continuing operations before income taxes” for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $95.0, which is comprised of a reduction in revenue of $57.2 and an increase in cost of products sold of $37.8. In addition, these revisions resulted in an increase in our “Net loss” for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $71.2 and an increase in our “Loss per share of common stock” of $1.75 for the same period.
In December 2015, our South African subsidiary, DBT Technologies (Pty) Ltd, along with Alstom S&E Africa (Proprietary) Limited, a subsidiary of General Electric (collectively “GE”), signed an addendum to the agreement covering the terms of the companies’ commercial relationship regarding work on the Kusile power plant project under construction for the state-owned utility company, Eskom Holdings Limited (“Eskom”) in South Africa. The addendum resolves most of the material outstanding issues between us and GE for the scope of work related to the Air Cooled Condensers (“ACCs”) for the Kusile project. A separate addendum settles material outstanding issues between us and our subcontractor, Tubular Construction Projects (Pty) Ltd. (“TCP”). The agreement with GE eliminates our construction responsibilities on the ACCs of the final three units at the site and adjusts the timeline for completion of the project. As a result of this addendum, TCP has become directly responsible for construction on units 4-6. We will continue to provide materials and engineered components, as well as support for commissioning and technical compliance, for all six units and will remain responsible for completion of construction activities on units 1-3. The financial impact of the addendum was accounted for in the aforementioned revisions of revenues, costs and profits that were recorded during the third quarter of 2015.

99



We recognize revenue associated with unapproved change orders and claims to the extent the related costs have been incurred and the amount expected of recovery is probable and reasonably estimable. At December 31, 2015, the projected revenues related to our large power projects in South Africa included approximately $25.0 related to claims and unapproved change orders. We believe these amounts are recoverable under the provisions of the related contracts and reflect our best estimate of recoverable amounts.
Although we believe that our current estimates of revenues, costs and profits relating to these projects are reasonable, it is possible that future revisions of such estimates could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Litigation Matters
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; however, we cannot assure you that these proceedings or claims will not have a material effect 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 December 31, 2015, we had liabilities for site investigation and/or remediation at 35 sites (42 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 December 31, 2015, we have been notified that we are potentially responsible and have received other notices of potential liability pursuant to various environmental laws at 24 sites (26 sites at December 31, 2014) at which the liability has not been settled, of which 7 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 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 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.

100



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 is not expected to have a material impact, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Self-Insured 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 a contractual arrangement 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 Power 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 consolidated financial statements, we account for our share of the revenues and profits under the consortium arrangements. As of December 31, 2015, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $100.2 (of which approximately 68% had been recognized as revenue), and the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $371.7. 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 December 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded liabilities of $0.6 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.
Executive Agreements
The Board of Directors has approved an employment agreement for our President and Chief Executive Officer.  This agreement has an initial term through December 31, 2017 and, thereafter, rolling terms of one year, and specifies the executive's current compensation, benefits and perquisites, severance entitlements, and other employment rights and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has approved severance benefit agreements for our other five executive officers. These agreements cover each executive's entitlements in the event that the executive’s employment is terminated for other than cause, death or disability, or the executive resigns with good reason. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has also approved change of control agreements for each of our executive officers, which cover each executive’s entitlements following a change of control. In addition, one former executive officer has an outstanding non-interest bearing 20-year relocation home loan totaling $1.5 granted in connection with the 2001 move of our corporate headquarters.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, 0.351 of unvested restricted stock shares/units were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as we incurred losses from continuing operations during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 0.553, 0.226 and 0.647 of unvested restricted stock shares/units, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the required market thresholds for vesting were not met. For the year ended December 31, 2015, 0.505 of outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares. There were no stock options outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2014, and all stock options outstanding were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Stock-Based Compensation
Under the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended in 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2015, up to 0.443 shares of our common stock were available for grant at December 31, 2015. The 2002 Stock Compensation Plan permits the issuance of new shares or shares from treasury upon the exercise of options, vesting of restricted stock units, or granting of restricted stock shares. Each share of restricted stock and restricted stock unit granted reduces availability by two shares.
During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we classified excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $0.8, $9.7 and $6.3, respectively, as financing cash flows and included such amounts in "Minimum withholdings paid on behalf of employees for net share settlements, net of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and other" within our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Restricted stock shares or restricted stock units may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors in accordance with applicable equity compensation plan documents and agreements. Subject to participants' continued employment and other plan terms and conditions, the restrictions lapse and awards generally vest over a period of time, generally one or three years. In some instances, such as death, disability, or retirement, stock may vest concurrently with or following an employee's termination. A substantial portion of the restricted stock shares and restricted stock unit awards vest based on performance thresholds, while the remaining portion vest based on the passage of time since grant date.
Eligible employees received target performance awards in 2014 and 2013 in which the employee can earn between 25% and 125% of the target performance award in the event the award meets the required vesting criteria. Vesting for the 2014 and 2013 target performance awards is based on SPX shareholder return versus the S&P Composite 1500 Industrials Index over three-year periods ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In connection with the Spin-Off, the 2014 and 2013 target performance awards were modified to allow for a minimum vesting equivalent to 50% of the underlying shares at the end of the applicable remaining service periods. In connection with this modification, we recorded additional stock compensation expense of $2.1 in 2015. The remaining 2013 target performance awards (i.e., the remaining 50%) did not meet the required performance target for the three years ended December 31, 2015 and, as such, these awards have been forfeited.
Each eligible non-officer employee also received awards in 2015, 2014 and 2013 that vest ratably over three years, subject only to the passage of time. Officers received awards in 2015 and 2014 that vest ratably over three years, subject to an internal performance metric.
We grant restricted stock shares to non-employee directors under the 2006 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Incentive Plan (the "Directors' Plan") and the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan. Under the Directors' Plan, up to 0.027 shares of our common stock were available for grant at December 31, 2015. The 2015, 2014 and 2013 restricted stock grants to non-employee directors generally vest over a one-year vesting period.
Restricted stock shares and restricted stock units that do not vest within the applicable vesting period are forfeited.
Stock options may be granted to key employees in the form of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. The option price per share may be no less than the fair market value of our common stock at the close of business the day prior to the date of grant. Upon exercise, the employee has the option to surrender previously owned shares at current value in payment of the exercise price and/or for withholding tax obligations.
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 stock options, restricted stock shares and restricted stock units totaled $34.5, $33.1 and $26.5 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, with the related tax benefit being $13.1, $12.6 and $10.1 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Restricted Stock Share and Restricted Stock Unit Awards
We use the Monte Carlo simulation model valuation technique to determine fair value of our restricted stock shares and restricted stock units that contain a "market condition." The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award and calculates the fair value of each restricted stock share and restricted stock unit award. We used the following assumptions in determining the fair value of the awards granted on the dates indicated below:

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

Stock Options
On January 2, 2015, eligible employees were granted options to purchase a total of 0.323 shares. In connection with the Spin-Off, options to purchase 0.282 shares were terminated as they related to employees who transitioned to SPX FLOW. On October 14, 2015, eligible employees were granted options to purchase a total of 0.883 shares.

Annual expected stock price volatility was based on the six-year historical volatility of SPX’s common stock. The annual expected dividend yield for the January 2, 2015 grant was based on the then-expected annual dividend payments for SPX and SPX’s stock price at the date of grant. In connection with the Spin-Off, we discontinued dividend payments immediately following the second quarter dividend payment for 2015 and have no plans to pay a dividend in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, no annual expected dividend yield was included in the fair value estimate of the October 14, 2015 grant. The risk-free interest rate was based on the seven-year treasury constant maturity rate. The expected life of the options was based on a three-year pro-rata vesting schedule and represents the period of time the awards are expected to be outstanding.

Common Stock in Treasury
On February 16, 2012, we entered into a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act ("Rule 10b5-1"), to facilitate the repurchase of up to $350.0 of shares of our common stock on or before February 14, 2013, in accordance with a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors. During January 2013, we repurchased 1.514 shares of our common stock for $104.4, which completed the repurchases authorized under this trading plan. In addition, we repurchased 1.864 shares of our common stock on the open market for $144.6 during the year ended December 31, 2013.
On December 18, 2013, we entered into a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1to 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 2014, we repurchased 4.852 shares of our common stock for $488.8, which completed the repurchases authorized under this trading plan.
During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, "Common stock in treasury" was decreased by the settlement of restricted stock units issued from treasury stock of $7.0, $13.8 and $14.2, respectively, and increased by $1.8, $7.9 and $11.0, 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
In connection with the Spin-Off, we discontinued dividend payments immediately following the second quarter dividend payment for 2015. Dividends declared totaled $30.9, $63.2 and $45.5 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, while dividends paid during these periods were $45.9, $59.8 and $34.7, respectively.
Preferred Stock
None of our 3.0 shares of authorized no par value preferred stock was outstanding at December 31, 2015, 2014 or 2013.

(16)    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. Except as previously discussed in Note 10, there were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy for the periods presented.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure different financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Our financial derivative assets and liabilities include FX forward contracts, FX embedded derivatives and commodity contracts, 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 December 31, 2015, there had 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 had been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of December 31, 2015:

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 December 31, 2015, and with the exception of the impairment charges noted below, we did not have any significant non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, we determined that the fair value of our Balcke Duerr reporting unit was less than the carrying value of its net assets (see Note 8). The fair value of our Balcke Duerr reporting unit was based upon weighting the income and market approaches utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows, as well as valuation multiples derived from comparable publicly-traded companies that were applied to the historical and projected operating results for the Balcke Duerr reporting unit (unobservable inputs - Level 3). Based on this analysis, we recorded a $13.7 impairment charge related to Balcke Duerr’s goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2015, which represented the entire amount of Balcke Duerr’s goodwill.
During 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $10.9 related to the trademarks of a business within our Power reportable segment. The fair value of the trademarks was determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflected current market conditions (unobservable inputs — Level 3).
In addition, during 2014 we recorded an impairment charge of $18.0 related to our Cooling Power reporting unit's investment in the Shanghai Electric joint venture as we determined that the fair value of the investment was less than its carrying value. The fair value of the investment was based upon weighting the income and market approaches, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows (unobservable inputs — Level 3).
Indebtedness and Other
The estimated fair value of our debt instruments (excluding capital leases) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 approximated the related carrying values of $372.1 and $719.5, respectively, due primarily to the variable market-based interest rates for such instruments. See Note 12 for further details.

Note:    The sum of the quarters' income per share may not equal the full year per share amounts.
(1) 
As discussed in Note 9, during the first quarter of 2014, we completed the sale of our 44.5% interest in EGS to Emerson Electric Co. for cash proceeds of $574.1, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $491.2.
We completed the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes during the first quarter of 2014. As a result of the redemption, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $32.5 during the quarter.
During the first quarter of 2014, we recognized a pre-tax loss of $15.3 related to settlement losses and actuarial losses, which resulted primarily from the lump-sum payment action associated with the U.S. Plan that took place during the quarter (see Note 10 for further details).
During the third quarter of 2015, we revised our estimates of expected revenues and profits associated with our large power projects in South Africa. As a result of these revisions, we reduced revenue and pre-tax income from continuing operations by $57.2 and $95.0, respectively. In addition, the revision resulted in an increase to “Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” of $23.8. See Notes 5 and 14 for additional details.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, we revised our estimates of revenues and profits associated with our large power projects in South Africa. As a result of these revisions, revenues and pre-tax income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2014 were reduced by $25.0. In addition, the revision resulted in an increase to “Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” of $6.3. See Note 5 for additional details.
During the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, we recognized pre-tax actuarial losses of $12.0 and $80.6, respectively, associated with our pension and postretirement benefit plans (see Note 10 for further details).

110



During the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, we recognized impairment charges of $13.7 and $28.9, respectively, associated with goodwill and other long-term assets of certain businesses within our Power segment (see Note 8 for further details).
(2) 
As discussed in Note 4, we sold TPS for cash consideration of $42.5 during the first quarter of 2014. The sale resulted in a gain, net of taxes, of $21.5 during that quarter.
(3) 
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. This practice only affects the quarterly reporting periods and not the annual reporting period. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2015 and we had one more day in the fourth quarter of 2015 than in the respective 2014 periods.
(4) 
As discussed in Note 1, certain corrections were made to previously reported amounts. Within the quarterly results presented above, we have decreased income from continuing operations, net of tax, net income, and net income attributable to SPX Corporation common shareholders for the quarters ended March 29, 2014, June 28, 2014, September 27, 2014, and December 31, 2014 by $2.5, $0.2, $0.2 and $1.6, respectively. The earnings per share impact of the above mentioned items for the same periods was a decrease of $0.06, $0.01, $0.01, and $0.04, respectively, for both basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, as well as both total basic and diluted earnings per share.

(18)            Reconciliation of Previously Reported Amounts to Amounts Revised and Restated
As described in Note 4, we completed the Spin-Off of SPX FLOW on September 26, 2015 and are presenting SPX FLOW as a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, as described in Note 1, we have identified certain misstatements relating to prior years’ consolidated financial statements and have corrected these prior period misstatements in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The impacts of these changes on selected financial amounts within the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure 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 December 31, 2015. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation by SPX management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), no changes during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 were identified that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control framework and processes were designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded properly to allow for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changing conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, such internal control was effective at the reasonable assurance level described above. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in this Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of SPX Corporation:
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of SPX Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company and; (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 of the Company and our report dated February 26, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s spin-off of SPX FLOW, Inc. through the distribution of the shares of SPX FLOW, Inc. to the Company’s stockholders.

Independent Auditors’ Report
 
The Board of Members
EGS Electrical Group, LLC:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of EGS Electrical Group, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, members’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EGS Electrical Group, LLC and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

EGS ELECTRICAL GROUP, LLC
AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Limited Liability Company)
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
September 30, 2013
 
(1)         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a)    Description of Business
 
EGS Electrical Group, LLC (EGS) was created on September 15, 1997 by combining the electrical groups of Emerson Electric Co. (Emerson) and General Signal, Inc. (General Signal). Emerson originally held 52.5% of members’ units and General Signal held 47.5%. General Signal subsequently merged with SPX Corporation (SPX), with SPX becoming the minority member. As of September 30, 2013, and during each of the years in the two-year period then ended, Emerson owned 55.5% of members’ units and SPX owned the remaining 44.5%. On January 7, 2014, Emerson acquired SPX’s interest in EGS for approximately $574,100.
 
EGS and subsidiaries (the Company) operate offices, plants, and warehouses in six U.S. states and eight international countries and are engaged in the manufacture of electrical fittings, enclosures, controls, and industrial lighting; transformers, power conditioning, power protection, and power supplies; resistance wire electrical heating cable and pipe tracing cable; and a variety of electrical heating products. Approximately 38% of the Company’s assets were located outside the United States of America as of September 30, 2013, primarily in Brazil, Canada, France, and China. International sales, primarily in Brazil, Canada, and France, represented 21% of the Company’s total revenues for the year ended September 30, 2013.
 
(b)    Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EGS and its controlled affiliates. All significant intercompany transactions, profits, and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no involvement with variable interest entities.
 
The functional currency of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries located in Brazil, France, Mexico Distribution Center, Canada, and China is the local currency. The functional currency of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary located in Romania is the euro. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Mexico and Singapore are the U.S. dollar. Adjustments resulting from the translation of consolidated financial statements are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 22, 2014, the date on which the consolidated financial statements were issued.
 
(c)    Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents consist principally of $26,832 of cash swept to an Emerson-controlled account, but available on demand to the Company as of September 30, 2013. The Company has a credit balance in the cash account related to outstanding checks that have not been funded by Emerson of $14,138 as of September 30, 2013. This balance has been reclassified to Trade accounts payable on the accompanying balance sheet.
 
(d)    Trade Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Allowances provided against accounts receivable are for doubtful accounts and adjustments to reduce amounts recorded to net realizable value as a result of estimated sales returns

AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Limited Liability Company)
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
September 30, 2013

and pricing adjustments. The allowances for doubtful accounts, and other adjustments to reduce accounts receivable to net realizable value, are the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date. The Company determines the allowances based on historical write-off experience and specific analysis of certain individual balances. Account balances are charged off against the allowances after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The Company’s bad debt expense for the year ended September 30, 2013 was $15.
 
(e)    Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method for all inventories.
 
(f)     Property, Plant, and Equipment
 
The Company records investments in land, buildings, and improvements, and machinery and equipment at cost.
 
Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives are 3–12 years for machinery and equipment, and 30–40 years for buildings and improvements. Total depreciation expense during the year ended September 30, 2013 was $8,853.
 
(g)    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase business combination. All goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit that acquires the business. A reporting unit is a business unit one level below the operating segment if discrete financial information for that business unit is prepared and regularly reviewed by the segment manager. The Company conducts a formal impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company performs its test as of September 30 of each year using a discounted cash flow analysis that requires that certain assumptions and estimates be made. No impairment of goodwill was identified through the performance of the annual impairment tests during the year ended September 30, 2013.

Intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are instead tested for impairment on an annual basis. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment.
 
(h)    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets such as property, plant, and equipment and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the long-lived assets should be reviewed for possible impairment, the Company uses projections to assess whether future cash flows on a nondiscounted basis related to the tested assets is likely to exceed the recorded carrying amount of those assets, to determine whether a write-down is appropriate. Should an impairment be identified, a loss would be recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the impaired assets exceeds their fair value as determined by valuation techniques appropriate in the circumstance, which could include

(A Limited Liability Company)
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
September 30, 2013

the use of similar projections on a discounted basis. No such events or circumstances were identified during the year ended September 30, 2013.
 
(i)     Income Taxes
 
The Company does not pay U.S. federal income taxes, except for its wholly owned Domestic C Corporation subsidiary. Federal taxes are generally paid by the members of EGS. The Company does pay some state income taxes in those states that do not follow the federal treatment of a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) and foreign taxes are paid on income attributable to the foreign entities. Income taxes paid during the year ended September 30, 2013 were $8,505.
 
(j)     Financial Instruments
 
The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or the Codification) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as amended (ASC 815), which requires entities to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair values. For derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is deferred as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until recognized in earnings with the underlying hedged item. For derivative instruments designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item are recognized immediately in earnings.
 
For derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

(k)    Warranty
 
The Company’s product warranties are competitive for the markets in which it operates. Warranty generally extends for a period of one year from the date of sale. Provisions for warranty are primarily determined based on historical warranty costs as a percentage of sales adjusted for specific problems that may arise. Product warranty expense is less than 1% of sales.
 
(l)     Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation awards and options to purchase common stock of Emerson are issued to certain employees of the Company. Compensation expense is recognized at fair value over the service periods based on the number of awards expected to be ultimately earned. This expense is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income with a corresponding credit to equity, representing Emerson’s capital contribution. Stock-based compensation was $1,976 for the year ended September 30, 2013.
 
(m)   Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes all of its revenues through the sale of manufactured products and records sales as products are shipped, title and risk of loss passes to the customer, and collection is reasonably assured. Allowances, based on historical experience, are made for anticipated returns of products and sales discounts at the time products are sold.
 
Sales taxes are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities and are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

September 30, 2013

 
The Company records amounts billed to a customer for shipping and handling fees in a sales transaction as revenue. These shipping and handling costs were $1,806 for the year ended September 30, 2013.
 
(n)    Use of Estimates
 
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful life of fixed assets, useful life of intangibles, allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of derivatives, fixed assets, inventory, and reserves for employee benefit obligations, income tax uncertainties, and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(o)    Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. These costs were $4,600 for the year ended September 30, 2013.
 
(p)    Other Deductions, Net

(r)     Comprehensive Income
 
Comprehensive income is primarily composed of net earnings plus changes in foreign currency translation and pension and postretirement. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments of $20,643 and pension and postretirement charges of $(5,419) at September 30, 2013.
 
(s)    Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
 
Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
 
The carrying value approximates fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due from members, trade accounts payable, derivatives, and due to members.
 
(t)     Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
 
The Company has a noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its U.S. employees upon their retirement. The benefits are based on age, years of service, and the level of compensation during the five years before retirement. The Company also sponsors a defined-benefit healthcare plan for substantially all retirees and full-time employees hired prior to the establishment of the joint venture.
 
The Company records annual amounts relating to its pension and postretirement plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality,

12


EGS ELECTRICAL GROUP, LLC
AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Limited Liability Company)
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
September 30, 2013

assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates, and healthcare cost trend rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and amortized to net periodic cost over future periods using the corridor method. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.
 
The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the postretirement benefits.
 
(u)    Commitments and Contingencies
 
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from third parties that are probable of realization are separately recorded as assets, and are not offset against the related environmental liability.
 
Accruals for estimated losses from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Costs of expected future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value.
 
(v)    Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position, and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The Company will implement the provisions of ASU No. 2011-11 as of October 1, 2014.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This ASU permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need not perform the two-step impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU No. 2011-08 as of October 1, 2012.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under this ASU, an entity will have the option to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. The ASU eliminates the option in U.S. GAAP to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. An entity should apply the ASU retrospectively. For a nonpublic entity, the ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. In December 2011, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate only to the presentation of reclassification adjustments in the consolidated

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

statement of income by issuing ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 by presenting the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The new standard does not extend the use of fair value but, rather, provides guidance about how fair value should be applied where it already is required or permitted under IFRS or U.S. GAAP. For U.S. GAAP, most of the changes are clarifications of existing guidance or wording changes to align with IFRS. A nonpublic entity is required to apply the ASU prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 in 2013 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
(2)    Related-Party Transactions
 
The Company has entered into a service agreement with Emerson for corporate management services. For the year ended September 30, 2013, the management fee for such services was a fixed percentage of net sales and was $3,460. In addition, the Company participates in Emerson-sponsored programs for services, such as insurance, freight, benefits administration, legal, workers’ compensation, tax consultation, and other administrative support.
 
The amount paid for these services for the year ended September 30, 2013 was $27,000, and is recorded as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Additionally, at September 30, 2013, the Company had payables to Emerson totaling $20,093, and receivables from Emerson of $1,739. The Company and its subsidiaries have cash pool arrangements with Emerson throughout the world. Net interest received from these cash pool arrangements and other related-party transactions for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 was $125.
 
The Company’s borrowings from Brazilian subsidiaries of Emerson was $4,106 as of September 30, 2013. The interest rates are reset every three months and are based on interbank rates currently at 9.5%. Interest paid on these loans was approximately $570 in 2013.

(3)    Financial Instruments
 
The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments to manage commodity prices and currency exchange risk. The Company does not hold derivatives for trading purposes. No credit loss is anticipated as the counterparties to these agreements are major financial institutions with high credit ratings.
 
As part of its hedging strategy, the Company utilizes forward exchange contracts to minimize the impact of currency and commodity price fluctuations on transactions, cash flows, and firm commitments. The Company had $291 of open foreign currency contracts as of September 30, 2013.
 
(4)    Retirement Plans
 
The Company has pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The Company’s pension and retiree healthcare and life insurance benefit plans are described below.
 
Pension and other postretirement benefit costs included the following components for 2013 and 2012:

The primary objectives for the investment of pension plan assets are to secure participant retirement benefits, while earning a reasonable rate of return. Plan assets are invested consistent with the provisions of prudence and diversification rules of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and with a long-term investment horizon. The expected return on plan assets assumption is determined by reviewing the investment return of the plans for the past 10 years and the historical return (since 1926) of an asset mix approximating the plan’s current asset allocation and evaluating these returns in relation to expectations of various investment organizations to determine whether long-term future returns are expected to differ significantly from the past. The Company’s pension plan asset allocations are as follows:

The Company estimates that future benefit payments for the pension plans will be as follows: $1,832 in 2014, $2,086 in 2015, $2,353 in 2016, $2,672 in 2017, $2,987 in 2018, and $18,628 in total over the five years 2019 through 2023. In 2014, the Company expects to contribute $4,200 to the pension plans.
 
The Company’s postretirement benefit obligations were determined using discount rates of 4.00% for 2013. The healthcare cost trend rate for 2013 was 7.00%, declining to 5.00% in the year 2018, respectively. The healthcare cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. A 1.00% increase in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate would increase the benefit obligation by $8 at September 30, 2013 and a 1.00% increase in the assumed healthcare trend rate would increase the service and interest costs by $1. A 1.00% decrease in the assumed healthcare trend rate would decrease the service and interest cost components by $1 and decrease the net postretirement healthcare benefit obligation by $9 at September 30, 2013.
 
The Company monitors the cost of healthcare and life insurance benefit plans and reserves the right to make additional changes or terminate these benefits in the future. The Company estimates that future benefit payments for postretirement benefits will be as follows: $365 in 2014, $372 in 2015, $382 in 2016, $360 in 2017, $333 in 2018, and $1,468 in total over the five years 2019 through 2023.
 
In addition, the Company sponsors defined-contribution (401(k)) plans to which it contributed $702 in 2013.

The Company’s assets in its pension plans are reported at fair value. The fair value of these assets as of September 30, 2013 measurement date were as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset valuation allowance was recorded as of September 30, 2013.
 
The members of the LLC generally pay the federal income taxes of the LLC. The gross book basis of the liabilities and assets of the LLC as of September 30, 2013 is approximately $10,948 greater than the tax basis for the same liabilities and assets.
 
Beginning with the adoption of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, as of October 1, 2007, the Company recognizes the effects of income taxes positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Changes in recognition measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.
 
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax at its wholly owned Domestic C Corporation, state income tax in multiple state tax jurisdictions, and foreign income tax in a number of foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company has no U.S. federal returns under review at September 30, 2013. The status of state and non-U.S. tax examinations varies by numerous legal entities and jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
 
The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the undistributed earnings of its foreign operations that arose in 2013 and prior years as the Company considers these earnings to be indefinitely reinvested.

(7)   Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business for which there is a range of possible outcomes. The Company accrues for such liabilities when it is probable that future costs (including legal fees and expenses) will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated.
 
The Company believes that at September 30, 2013, there were no known contingent liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
