Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the “Company” or “Carlisle”) in accordance and consistent with the accounting policies stated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements therein.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, of necessity, include some amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments.  Future actual results could differ from such current estimates.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries.  Carlisle accounts for other investments in minority-owned companies where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, on the equity basis.  Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to be consistent with the current period presentation.  See Note 3 regarding the transition of the Styled Wheels business from Carlisle Transportation Products (“CTP”) to Carlisle Brake & Friction (“CBF”).

 

Note 2 - New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-08, Guidance on Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  ASU 2011-08 gives entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test.  If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required.  Otherwise, further testing would not be needed.  ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011.    The adoption of this ASU had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  ASU 2011-04 provides guidance to develop a single, converged fair value framework; amend the requirements of fair value measurement; and enhance related disclosure requirements, particularly for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance clarifies the concepts of (i) the highest and best use and valuation premise for nonfinancial assets, (ii) application to financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk, (iii) premiums or discounts in fair value measurements, and (iv) fair value measurement of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this ASU had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet adopted

 

In July 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  ASU 2012-02 amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment.  Under the revised guidance, entities have the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether there are any events or circumstances indicating that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired.  ASU 2012-02 is effective for fiscal and interim impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 - Segment Information

 

The Company’s operations are reported in the following segments:

 

Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM” or the “Construction Materials segment”) —the principal products of this segment are rubber (EPDM) and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membranes used predominantly on non-residential low-sloped roofs, related roofing accessories, including flashings, fasteners, sealing tapes, coatings and waterproofing, and insulation products. The markets served include new construction, re-roofing and maintenance of low-sloped roofs, water containment, HVAC sealants, and coatings and waterproofing.

 

4



 

Carlisle Transportation Products (“CTP” or the “Transportation Products segment”) —the principal products of this segment include bias-ply, steel belted radial trailer tires, stamped or roll-formed steel wheels, tires, and tire and wheel assemblies, as well as industrial belts and related components.  The markets served include lawn and garden, power sports, high-speed trailer, agriculture and construction.

 

Carlisle Brake & Friction (“CBF” or the “Brake & Friction segment”) —the principal products of this segment include high-performance brakes and friction material, styled wheels, and clutch and transmission friction material for the mining, construction, aerospace, agriculture, motor sports, and alternative energy markets.

 

Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT” or the “Interconnect Technologies segment”) —the principal products of this segment are high-performance wire, cable, connectors, contacts and cable assemblies primarily for the aerospace, defense electronics, and test and measurement equipment markets.

 

Carlisle FoodService Products (“CFSP” or the “FoodService Products segment”) —the principal products of this segment include commercial and institutional foodservice permanentware, table coverings, cookware, catering equipment, fiberglass and composite material trays and dishes, industrial brooms, brushes, mops, and rotary brushes for commercial and non-commercial foodservice operators and sanitary maintenance professionals.

 

Corporate—includes general corporate expenses. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, facilities, deferred taxes, and other invested assets. Corporate operations also maintain a captive insurance program for workers compensation costs on behalf of all the Carlisle operating companies.

 

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company’s Styled Wheels business was transitioned from CTP to CBF.  Styled wheels continue to be manufactured by CTP, but are marketed and sold by the performance racing group within CBF.  Related intersegment sales of $19.3 million from CTP to CBF during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been eliminated upon consolidation.  As a result of this transition, in accordance with ASC 280, Segment  Reporting, the Company has presented all of the working capital and goodwill related to the Styled Wheels business in the CBF reportable segment.  Prior period results have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this change in presentation.

 

Unaudited financial information for operations by reportable segment is included in the following tables:

Note 4 - Acquisitions

 

2012 Acquisition

 

Hertalan Holding B.V.

The preliminary goodwill recognized in the acquisition of Hertalan is attributable to the workforce of Hertalan, the solid financial performance of this leading manufacturer of EPDM roofing and waterproofing systems and the significant strategic value of the business to Carlisle. Hertalan provides Carlisle with a solid manufacturing and knowledge base for EPDM roofing products in Europe and provides an established distribution network throughout Europe, both of which enhance Carlisle’s goal of expanding its global presence. The European market shows favorable trends towards EPDM roofing applications and Carlisle can provide additional product development and other growth resources to Hertalan.  Goodwill arising from the acquisition of Hertalan is not deductible for income tax purposes.  All of the preliminary goodwill was assigned to the Construction Materials reporting unit. Preliminary indefinite-lived intangible assets of $8.0 million represent acquired trade names.  The $14.7 million value preliminarily allocated to definite-lived intangible assets represents customer relationships with preliminary useful lives of 9 years.

 

The Company has also recorded deferred tax liabilities related to the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as of the March 9, 2012 closing date.

 

Hertalan contributed revenues of $17.7 million and earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) of $0.5 million from the acquisition date through September 30, 2012 which includes $1.3 million reflected in Cost of goods sold related to recording the acquired inventory at estimated fair value and $0.8 million of acquisition related transaction costs.

The purchase price allocation reflects updated fair value estimates for assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The amount of goodwill recognized in the acquisition of PDT is attributable to the workforce of PDT, the solid financial performance of this leading manufacturer of single-ply roofing and waterproofing systems and the significant strategic value of the business to Carlisle. PDT provides Carlisle with a solid manufacturing and knowledge base for single-ply roofing products in Europe and provides an established distribution network throughout Europe, both of which enhance Carlisle’s goal of expanding its global presence. The European market shows favorable trends towards single-ply roofing applications and Carlisle can provide additional product development and other growth resources to PDT.  Goodwill arising from the acquisition of PDT is not deductible for income tax purposes.  All of the goodwill was assigned to the Construction Materials segment. Indefinite-lived intangible assets of $6.9 million represent acquired trade names.  Of the $57.1 million value allocated to definite-lived intangible assets, approximately $33.3 million was allocated to patents, with useful lives ranging from 10 to 20 years, and $23.8 million was allocated to customer relationships, with useful lives of 19 years.

 

The Company has also recorded deferred tax liabilities related to the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as of the August 1, 2011 closing date.

Carlisle Construction Materials — During the second quarter of 2012, the Company announced plans to consolidate its manufacturing operations in Elberton, GA into its locations in Terrell, TX and Carlisle, PA.  During the first nine months of 2012, the Company incurred $0.3 million of exit and disposal costs, consisting of employee termination costs.  Included in Accrued Expenses at September 30, 2012 was $0.3 million related to unpaid costs associated with this project.  The expected cost of the project is $1.2 million, including employee termination costs, equipment relocation, and other associated costs.  The remaining costs are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Carlisle Transportation Products — During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $1.6 million in plant restructuring costs related to the transfer of certain CTP international manufacturing operations.  The expected cost of the project is $1.9 million, including employee termination costs, equipment relocation, and other associated costs with the remaining $0.3 to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2012. Included in Accrued Expenses at September 30, 2012 was $1.6 million related to unpaid severance and other associated costs.

 

In the third quarter of 2009, the Company announced plans to consolidate its tire manufacturing operations in Heflin, AL, Carlisle, PA and portions of Buji, China into a new facility in Jackson, TN.  The consolidation was substantially completed in the first quarter of 2011.  The total cost of the project was approximately $20.9 million, all of which has been incurred through September 30, 2012.  The Company expects no additional costs to be incurred.  Included in Accrued Expenses at September 30, 2012 was $0.3 million related to unpaid severance.

 

Carlisle Brake & Friction — In the third quarter of 2011, the Company decided to close its braking plant in Canada.  The project had a total cost of $1.0 million, including employee termination costs and other associated costs.  Costs incurred during the first nine months of 2012 were $0.1 million, reflecting $0.3 million expense for the write down of assets sold in connection with the plant closure, net of $0.2 million income to reverse an accrual for pension costs which will not be paid.  The Company recorded $0.7 million of expense during the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 consisting of employee termination costs and other associated costs. The Company expects no additional costs to be incurred related to this project.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2009, within its off-highway braking business, the Company announced plans to close its friction product manufacturing facility in Logansport, IN and to consolidate operations into its locations in Hangzhou, China and Bloomington, IN. This consolidation was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2010; however, additional activities related to the closure of the facility occurred in 2011.  The total cost of this consolidation project was $5.3 million.  Costs incurred in the first nine months of 2011 related to this consolidation were $0.5 million, primarily consisting of employee termination costs and other relocation costs.  Costs of $4.7 million were incurred through 2010.  The company expects no additional costs to be incurred related to this project.

Carlisle FoodService Products — In the third quarter of 2012, the Company announced plans to close certain manufacturing and distribution facilities, relocate manufacturing previously conducted at these facilities to a third party, relocate distribution previously conducted at these facilities to other Company distribution facilities, and sell the facilities’ remaining assets.  The project is expected to cost approximately $5.6 million, including costs for impairment of long-lived assets, employee termination, contract termination, legal and consulting services, and relocation and retrofitting of plant assets.  Costs incurred in the third quarter of 2012 were $4.4 million, reflecting $3.5 million for impairment of long-lived assets and employee termination costs of $0.9 million. As of September 30, 2012 a $0.9 million liability related to the project is included in Accrued Expenses.  The remaining costs are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

In addition to the above-noted exit and disposal costs, during the third quarter of 2012, the Company decided to abandon its flameless chafer product line within the CFSP segment.  The abandonment of the product line resulted in a non-cash charge of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2012 related to the impairment of prepaid royalties related to the product line.

 

Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, which generally equals the stated vesting period, unless the stated vesting period exceeds the date upon which an employee reaches retirement eligibility.  Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense was $3.6 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $13.5 million and $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

2008 Executive Incentive Program

 

The Company maintains an Executive Incentive Program (the “Program”) for executives and certain other employees of the Company and its operating divisions and subsidiaries. The Program was approved by shareholders on April 20, 2004 and was amended and restated effective January 1, 2012. The Program allows for awards to eligible employees of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and units or other awards based on Company common stock. At September 30, 2012, 3,516,521 shares were available for grant under this plan, of which 884,970 shares were available for the issuance of stock awards.

 

2005 Nonemployee Director Equity Plan

 

The Company also maintains the Nonemployee Director Equity Plan (the “Plan”) for members of its Board of Directors, with the same terms and conditions as the Program. At September 30, 2012, 279,314 shares were available for grant under this plan, of which 49,314 shares were available for the issuance of stock awards. Members of the Board of Directors that receive stock-based compensation are treated as employees for accounting purposes.

 

Grants

 

In the first quarter of 2012 the Company awarded 481,215 stock options, 83,745 restricted stock awards, 83,745 performance share awards and 11,298 restricted stock units with an aggregate grant-date fair value of approximately $17.6 million to be expensed over the requisite service period for each award.

 

Stock Option Awards

 

Effective 2008, options issued under these plans vest one-third on the first anniversary of grant, one-third on the second anniversary of grant and the remaining one-third on the third anniversary of grant. All options have a maximum term life of 10 years. Shares issued to cover options under the Program and the Plan may be issued from shares held in treasury, from new issuances of shares, or a combination of the two.

 

Pre-tax share-based compensation expense related to stock options was $2.1 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $5.6 million and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock option awards. The BSM relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option’s fair value. The weighted average assumptions used in the determination of fair value for stock option awards in 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate

 

0.9

%

2.2

%

Weighted average fair value

 

$

14.57

 

$

10.61

 

 

The expected life of options is based on the assumption that all outstanding options will be exercised at the midpoint of the valuation date and the option expiration date. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility as well as implied volatility of the Company’s options. The risk free interest rate is based on rates of U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining life equal to the expected life of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the projected annual dividend payment per share, divided by the stock price at the date of grant.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

Restricted stock awarded under the Program is generally released to the recipient after a period of three years; however, 56,700 shares awarded to executive management in February 2008 vest ratably over five years.  The $49.56 grant date fair value of the 2012 restricted stock awards, which are released to the recipient after a period of three years, is based on the closing market price of the stock on the date of grant.

 

Performance Share Awards

 

The performance shares vest based on the employee rendering three years of service to the Company, and the attainment of a market condition over the performance period, which is based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return versus the S&P Midcap 400 Index® over a pre-determined time period as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The grant date fair value of the 2012 performance shares of $69.76 was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation approach based on a three year measurement period.  Such approach entails the use of assumptions regarding the future performance of the Company’s stock and those of the S&P Midcap 400 Index®.  Those assumptions include expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, correlation coefficients and dividend reinvestment.  Dividends accrue on the performance shares during the performance period and are to be paid in cash based upon the number of awards ultimately earned. The Company expenses the compensation cost associated with the performance awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of three years.

The restricted stock units awarded to eligible directors are fully vested and will be paid in shares of Company common stock after the director ceases to serve as a member of the Board, or if earlier, upon a change in control of the Company.   The $49.56 grant date fair value of the 2012 restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of the stock on February 1, 2012, the date of the grant.

 

Note 8 - Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 33.2% compared to an effective income tax rate of 31.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase in the year to date tax rate is primarily due to expiration of favorable legislation related to foreign income, and research and development costs, and nonrecurring transactions which created tax benefits in 2011.

 

The year to date effective tax rate of 33.2% varies from the United States statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the deduction for U.S. production activities and earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal rate.

 

Note 9 - Earnings Per Share

 

The Company’s unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The computation below of earnings per share excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted shares and

 

13



 

restricted stock units from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares from the denominator.  Stock options are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share utilizing the treasury stock method and performance share awards are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using the contingently issuable method.  Neither is considered to be a participating security as they do not contain non-forfeitable dividend rights.

Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value may be measured using three levels of inputs:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 3—unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Recurring Measurements

Cash and cash equivalents include $1.4 million money market accounts for the Company’s deferred compensation program.  Short-term investments of $0.5 million at September 30, 2012 consist of investments held in mutual funds for the Company’s deferred compensation program and are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012 in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

 

Commodity swap agreements at September 30, 2012 relate to swap agreements held for purposes of mitigating the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the prices of silver and copper, which are key raw materials within the Interconnect

Technologies segment.  Such swaps are valued using third-party valuation models that measure fair value using observable market inputs such as forward prices and spot prices of the underlying commodities. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  The Company has not designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and, accordingly, recognizes associated changes in fair value of the swaps through Other income (expense).  The fair value of these swaps is recorded within Other accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 as none of the swap terms exceed one year from the balance sheet date.

 

Contingent consideration represents fair value of the earn-out associated with the purchase of PDT.  The fair value was €4.1 million, or $5.3 million, at September 30, 2012.  See Note 4 for further information regarding the PDT acquisition.

Non-Recurring Measurements

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the FoodService Products segment measured long-lived assets on a non-recurring basis at certain facilities resulting in an impairment charge of $3.5 million, which was included in Other expense (income).  These measurements were based on fair value determination of certain long-lived assets within the FoodService Products segment using Level 3 inputs.  See Note 4 for information regarding asset impairment within the FoodService Products segment.

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

Leases

 

The Company currently leases a portion of its manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and equipment, some of which include scheduled rent increases stated in the lease agreement generally expressed as a stated percentage increase of the minimum lease payment over the lease term.  The Company currently has no leases that require rent to be paid based on contingent events nor has it received any lease incentive payments.  Rent expense was $23.9 million and $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, inclusive of rent based on scheduled rent increases and rent holidays recognized on a straight-line basis.  Future minimum payments under the Company’s various non-cancelable operating leases are approximately $6.6 million for the remainder of 2012, $22.3 million in 2013, $18.9 million in 2014, $15.8 million in 2015, $13.1 million in 2016, and $48.5 million thereafter.

 

Purchase Obligations

 

Although the Company has entered into purchase agreements for certain key raw materials, there were no such contracts with a term exceeding one year in place at September 30, 2012.

 

Workers’ Compensation, General Liability, and Property Claims

 

The Company is self-insured for workers’ compensation, medical and dental, general liability, and property claims up to applicable retention limits. Retention limits are $1.0 million per occurrence for general liability, $0.5 million per occurrence for workers’ compensation, $0.25 million per occurrence for property, and up to $1.0 million for medical claims. The Company is insured for losses in excess of these limits.

 

18



 

The Company has accrued approximately $23.5 million and $22.9 million related to workers’ compensation claims at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The amounts recognized are presented in Accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The liability related to workers’ compensation claims, both those reported to the Company and those incurred but not yet reported, is estimated based on actuarial estimates and loss development factors and the Company’s historical loss experience.

 

Litigation

 

Over the years, the Company has been named as a defendant, along with numerous other defendants, in lawsuits in various state courts in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to exposure to asbestos-containing brakes, which Carlisle manufactured in limited amounts between the late-1940’s and the mid-1980’s.  In addition to compensatory awards, these lawsuits may also seek punitive damages.

 

Generally, the Company has obtained dismissals or settlements of its asbestos-related lawsuits with no material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  The Company maintains insurance coverage that applies to the Company’s defense costs and payments of settlements or judgments in connection with asbestos-related lawsuits.

 

At this time, the amount of reasonably possible additional asbestos claims, if any, is not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows although these matters could result in the Company being subject to monetary damages, costs or expenses, and charges against earnings in particular periods.

 

From time-to-time the Company may be involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of such actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations for a particular period or annual operating cash flows of the Company.

 

Environmental Matters

 

The Company is subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharges, chemical and hazardous waste management and disposal. Some of these environmental laws hold owners or operators of land or businesses liable for their own and for previous owners’ or operators’ releases of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Other environmental laws and regulations require the obtainment of and compliance with environmental permits. To date, costs of complying with environmental, health, and safety requirements have not been material.  The nature of the Company’s operations and its long history of industrial activities at certain of its current or former facilities, as well as those acquired, could potentially result in material environmental liabilities.

 

While the Company must comply with existing and pending climate change legislation, regulation, international treaties or accords, current laws and regulations do not have a material impact on its business, capital expenditures or financial position. Future events, including those relating to climate change or greenhouse gas regulation, could require the Company to incur expenses related to the modification or curtailment of operations, installation of pollution control equipment, or investigation and cleanup of contaminated sites.

Revolving Credit Facilities

 

As of September 30, 2012 the Company had $430.0 million available under its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.  Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, and at the Company’s election, the full amount outstanding of $170.0 million was payable in October 2012 (30 days from the date of funding).  However, the Company has the option to rollover amounts payable, at differing tenors and interest rates, until the Facility expires in October of 2016.  Accordingly, the full $170.0 million has been included in Short-term debt, including current maturities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The average interest rate of borrowings under the revolving credit facility during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was 1.33%.

 

Uncommitted Line of Credit

 

The Company also maintains an uncommitted line of credit of which $45.0 million and $35.0 million was available for borrowing as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The average interest rate on the uncommitted line of credit was 1.5% and 1.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Covenants and Limitations

 

Under the Company’s various debt and credit facilities, the Company is required to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations, including certain net worth, cash flow ratios, and limits on outstanding debt balances held by certain subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and limitations as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

Other Matters

 

Cash payments for interest were $19.0 million and $16.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest expense, net is presented net of interest income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

At September 30, 2012, the fair value of the Company’s par value $250 million, 5.125% senior notes due 2020 and par value $150 million, 6.125% senior notes due 2016, using Level 2 inputs, is approximately $281.4 million and $172.1 million, respectively. Fair value is estimated based on current yield rates plus the Company’s estimated credit spread available for financings with similar terms and maturities.  The Company estimates that the fair value of amounts outstanding under the Facility approximates their carrying value.

 

Note 16 - Retirement Plans

 

Defined Benefit Plans

 

The Company maintains defined benefit retirement plans for certain employees. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and earnings of the employee. The Company recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit pension plans in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The funded status is the difference between the retirement plans’ projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the retirement plans’ assets as of the measurement date.

 

20



 

Post-retirement Welfare Plans

 

The Company also has a limited number of unfunded post-retirement welfare programs. The Company’s liability for post-retirement medical benefits is limited to a maximum obligation; therefore, the Company’s liability is not materially affected by an assumed health care cost trend rate.

 

Components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:

The Company made contributions of $2.0 million and $3.0 million to the pension plans during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012.  The Company expects to contribute approximately $4.0 million to the pension plans in 2012.

 

Defined Contribution Plans

 

The Company maintains defined contribution plans covering a significant portion of its employees. Expenses for the plans were approximately $8.8 million and $8.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Full year contributions in 2012 are expected to approximate $11.5 million.

 

Deferred Compensation Program

 

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation program for certain employees.  Deferred compensation liabilities of $1.9 million and $0.6 million are classified in Other long-term liabilities at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

ESOP Plan

 

The Company sponsors an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) as part of one of its existing defined contribution plans. Costs for the ESOP are included in the previously discussed expenses. The ESOP is available to eligible domestic employees and includes a match of contributions made by plan participants to the savings plan up to a maximum of 4.0% of a participant’s eligible compensation, divided between cash and an employee-directed election of the Company’s common stock, not to exceed 50% of the total match, for non-union employees. Union employees’ match may vary and is based on negotiated union agreements. Participants are not allowed to direct savings plan contributions to an investment in the Company’s common stock. Total shares held by the ESOP were 1.8 million and 1.9 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Note 17 - Product Warranties

 

The Company offers various warranty programs on its products, primarily installed roofing systems, braking products, aerospace cables and assemblies, and foodservice equipment.

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

 

Executive Overview

 

Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a diversified manufacturing company focused on achieving profitable growth internally through new product development, product line extensions, entering new markets and externally through acquisitions that complement our existing technologies, products and market channels. We manage our businesses under the following segments:

 

·                  Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM” or the “Construction Materials segment”);

 

·                  Carlisle Transportation Products  (“CTP” or the “Transportation Products segment”);

 

·                  Carlisle Brake & Friction (“CBF” or the “Brake & Friction segment”);

 

·                  Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT” or  the “Interconnect Technologies segment”); and

 

·                  Carlisle FoodService Products (“CFSP” or the “FoodService Products segment”).

 

We are a diverse multi-national company with manufacturing operations located throughout North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. Management focuses on maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet, year-over-year improvement in sales, earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”) margins and earnings, globalization, and reducing working capital (defined as Receivables, Inventories, net of Accounts payable) as a percentage of Net Sales.  Resources are allocated among the operating companies based on management’s assessment of their ability to obtain leadership positions and competitive advantages in the markets they serve.

 

During 2008, we began the implementation of the Carlisle Operating System, a manufacturing structure and strategy deployment system based on lean enterprise and six sigma principles. The purpose of the Carlisle Operating System is to eliminate waste in all production and business processes, improve manufacturing efficiencies to increase productivity, and to increase EBIT margins and improve cash conversion.

 

For a more in-depth discussion of the results discussed in this “Executive Overview”, please refer to the discussion on “Financial Reporting Segments” presented later in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis”.

 

Net sales increased 4.6% in the third quarter of 2012 to $910.2 million, compared to $870.5 million for the same period in 2011.  For the third quarter of 2012, organic growth of 1.3% primarily reflected a 2.8% overall increase in selling prices offset by 1.4% decrease in sales volume. Decline in sales volume primarily reflected lower demand in the Brake and Friction, Construction Materials and FoodService Products segments, partially offset by higher demand for aerospace products in the Interconnect Technologies segment.  Acquisitions in the Carlisle Interconnect Technologies and Carlisle Construction Materials segments contributed $33.7 million, or 3.9%, to net sales in the third quarter of 2012.  During the third quarter of 2012, the decrease in net sales from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates was less than 1%.

 

For the third quarter of 2012, EBIT grew by 35% reflecting selling price realization primarily in the Construction Materials segment, lower raw material costs in the Transportation Products, Brake and Friction and Construction Materials segments, contributions from acquisitions and savings from the Carlisle Operating System.  These positive impacts were partially offset by higher per-unit production costs due to lower production levels in the Construction Materials segment and unfavorable mix changes in the Brake and Friction segment.  Included in EBIT for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $6.9 million in restructuring and asset impairment related charges in the Carlisle Foodservice Products segment.  By comparison, included in EBIT during the prior year third quarter were $2.1 million in plant restructuring costs and $4.0 million in expense in the Carlisle Transportation Products segment related to management and organizational changes.  Reflecting strong price realization and operating performance, EBIT margin increased 280 basis points from 9.4% during the third quarter of 2011 to 12.2% in the third quarter of 2012.  As a result of the strong earnings improvement by our segments, our income from continuing operations, net of tax, of $69.7 million grew 30% in the third quarter of 2012 from income of $53.7 million in the third quarter of 2011.

 

For the first nine months of 2012, net sales increased 14.3% to $2.78 billion, compared to $2.43 billion in the same prior year period on organic growth of 9.5%, led by higher sales in the Construction Materials, Interconnect Technologies and Transportation Products segments, and acquisition growth of 5.3%.  EBIT grew by 56% during the first nine months of

 

23



 

2012.  Our EBIT margin increased significantly by 340 basis points from 9.1% for the first nine months of 2011 to 12.5% for the first nine months of 2012 reflecting higher selling prices versus increased raw material costs, savings from the Carlisle Operating System, and operating improvements in the Transportation Products segment.   Our income from continuing operations, net of tax, for the first nine months of 2012 of $219.2 million has grown 54% from income of $142.3 million for the first nine months of 2011.

 

For the remainder of 2012, we expect lower demand in some of our key markets due to slowing economic conditions worldwide.    However, we expect growth in aerospace demand in our Interconnect Technologies segment to remain positive.  For the full year of 2012, we expect percentage sales growth from acquisitions and organic growth to total in the low double digits, down from our 14% year-to-date sales growth. Despite declining sales growth, we expect our EBIT margin performance for the full year to be on track for significant improvement over 2011 due to strong execution on selling price realization, gains in efficiencies from the Carlisle Operating System and significantly improved operating performance by our Transportation Products segment.

Organic sales growth of 1.3% during the third quarter of 2012 reflected increased selling price in the Construction Materials and FoodService Products segments, and higher sales volume in the Interconnect Technologies segment, partially offset by lower sales volumes in the Brake & Friction, Construction Materials and FoodService Products segments. Acquisitions in the Interconnect Technologies and Construction Materials segments contributed $33.7 million to net sales in the third quarter of 2012.

 

For the first nine months of 2012, our organic sales increase of 9.5% from the prior year reflected organic growth led by the Construction Materials and Interconnect Technologies segments. Our organic sales growth has declined since the first quarter of 2012 reflecting slower economic conditions in more recent periods impacting all of our segments with the exception of the Interconnect Technologies segment.  Sales growth in the Interconnect Technologies segment has been strong throughout 2012 but the rate of growth has been declining on a sequential quarter basis. Acquisitions in the Interconnect Technologies and Construction Materials segments contributed $129.8 million to net sales in the first nine months of 2012.

 

We have a long-term goal of achieving 30% of total net sales from outside the United States.  Total sales to customers located outside the United States increased from $178.7 million, or 20.5% of net sales,  in the third quarter of 2011, to $190.8 million, or 21.0% of net sales,  in the third quarter of 2012 primarily reflecting $23.1 million in additional sales from the acquisitions of Hertalan, Tri-Star, and PDT, and higher global demand in the Interconnect Technologies segment, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and lower sales in the Brake & Friction segment.  On a year to date basis, total sales to customers located outside the United States increased from $460.4 million, or 18.9% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2011 to $596.9 million, or 21.4% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2012.

For the third quarter 2012, our gross margin (gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales) improved 330 basis points versus the prior year period driven by increased selling prices, lower raw material costs, production efficiencies from the Carlisle Operating System and non-recurrence of 2011 plant startup inefficiencies in the Transportation Products segment.  These positive factors were partially offset by reduced overhead absorption due to lower production during the third quarter within our Construction Materials segment and the negative impact of mix changes in our Brake and Friction segment.

 

Our increase in gross margin by 360 basis points in the first nine months of 2012 versus the prior year period was primarily attributable to higher selling prices that more than offset increased raw material costs, higher sales volume, savings from the Carlisle Operating System, and operational improvements in the Transportation Products segment.  Partially offsetting these positive factors were additional Costs of Goods Sold of $2.6 million during the first nine months of 2012 related to the fair valuation of inventory for the Hertalan acquisition in the Construction Materials segment and the Tri-Star acquisition in the Interconnect Technologies segment.

Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2012 included $4.1 million in incremental selling expenses and administrative costs of acquired operations in the Interconnect Technologies and Construction Materials segments.  Offsetting this increase were lower costs in 2012 due to the non-recurrence of $4.0 million in management and organizational change costs in the Transportation Products segment recorded in 2011.

 

Selling and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2012 included $22.2 million in incremental selling expenses and administrative costs of acquired businesses in the Interconnect Technologies and Construction Materials segments and $0.8 million of transaction expenses to acquire Hertalan.  Selling and administrative expenses during the first nine months of 2012 were also higher in connection with sales growth and stock-based compensation expense.

The 35% growth in EBIT from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to strong price realization primarily in the Construction Materials and FoodService Products segments, lower raw material costs primarily in the Transportation Products, Brake and Friction and Construction Materials segments, and reduction in operating costs attributable to efficiencies gained through the Carlisle Operating System.  These positive impacts were partially offset by higher per-unit production costs due to lower production levels in the Construction Materials segment and negative mix changes in the Brake and Friction segment.  EBIT from the acquisitions of Tri-Star in the Interconnect Technologies segment and PDT and Hertalan in the Construction Materials segment was $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  EBIT margin in the third quarter of 2012 increased 280 basis points from the prior year period.

 

Included in EBIT for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $6.9 million in charges for restructuring actions taken in the Carlisle Foodservice Products segment, of which $6.0 million were fixed asset impairment charges.  During the third quarter 2012, the FoodService Products segment announced its decision to abandon its flameless chafer equipment product line as well as close or consolidate certain manufacturing and distribution operations as part of its strategic performance improvement plan.  By comparison, included in EBIT during the prior year quarter were $2.1 million in plant restructuring costs and $4.0 million in expense in the Carlisle Transportation Products segment related to management and organizational changes.

 

For the first nine months of 2012, EBIT growth was attributable to organic sales growth, higher selling prices offsetting the impact of higher raw material costs, efficiencies gained through the Carlisle Operating System and operational improvements in the Transportation Products segment.  EBIT from the acquisitions for the first nine months of 2012 was $14.4 million, which included $3.9 million related to transaction costs and additional Cost of goods sold related to recording acquired inventory at estimated fair value.  Total company EBIT for the first nine months of 2012 included $6.4 million in plant restructuring costs.  By comparison, our total EBIT during the first nine months of 2011 was reduced by $5.1 million in plant restructuring costs.   For the first nine months of 2012, EBIT margin increased 340 basis points from the prior year period.

Our effective income tax rate varies from the statutory rate within the United States of 35% due primarily to the deduction attributable to U.S. production activities, state tax requirements, earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates different from the statutory U.S. federal rate, and tax credits.  The increase in the year to date tax rate is primarily due to expiration of favorable legislation related to certain foreign income and research and development costs, and nonrecurring transactions which created tax benefits in the second quarter of 2011.

 

The effective tax rate for the full year 2011 was 28.4% and was reduced by excess tax credits generated as part of a repatriation of foreign earnings which occurred during 2011.

CCM’s sales growth of 3.3% during the third quarter of 2012 versus the prior year period reflected organic sales growth of 1.3% and acquisition growth of 2.4%, partially offset by negative foreign exchange impact from the decline in the Euro of 0.4%.  CCM’s organic sales growth reflected 4% higher selling price offset by 3% lower sales volume for our commercial roofing products.  Lower volume was in part impacted by an uncertain economic environment and prolonged drought-like conditions in many U.S. regions reducing reroofing demand.  Sales volume for our polyiso insulation products were relatively level.  Sales at Insulfoam, our rigid foam insulation business, were up by 13% during the third quarter, reflecting increased activity in residential construction.  Acquisitions contributed $10.5 million to sales during the third quarter of 2012 reflecting one months’ results for PDT, which was acquired on August 1, 2011, and three months of results for Hertalan, which was acquired on March 9, 2012.

 

For the first nine months of 2012, CCM’s sales increase consisted of organic sales growth of 11.0% and acquisition growth of 5.0%.  During the first nine months of 2012, organic sales growth was primarily driven by higher selling price and increased demand for polyiso insulation products.  Sales of roofing membrane products was higher in the first quarter but was offset by lower roofing demand in later periods due to reduction in reroofing volume.

 

During the third quarter of 2012, CCM’s EBIT margin increased by 380 basis points over the prior year period, reflecting selling price realization and savings from the Carlisle Operating System, partially offset by higher per unit production costs due to reduced production levels.

 

CCM’s EBIT margin for the first nine months of 2012 rose by 420 basis points over the prior year period, reflecting selling price realization, higher sales volume, savings from the Carlisle Operating System, and other manufacturing efficiencies.  Included in EBIT for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.3 million in additional Cost of Goods Sold related to recording the acquired Hertalan inventory at estimated fair value, $0.8 million in other transaction expenses for the acquisitions of PDT and Hertalan, $0.8 million for write-down of solar inventory and $0.3 million of exit and disposal costs related to plant consolidations.

 

CCM’s has a project underway to consolidate manufacturing operations from our facility in Elberton, GA into our locations in Terrell, TX and Carlisle, PA for which it had incurred $0.3 million of expense through the third quarter of 2012.  CCM expects to incur costs for this project of $0.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 and the consolidation is expected to be completed by the end of 2012 with a total projected cost of $1.2 million.

 

CCM has significant capital expenditure projects underway to address polyiso market demand, to provide better service to our customers and to improve margins.  In the fourth quarter of 2011, CCM acquired land and commenced construction on a new 407,000 sq. ft. polyiso plant in Puyallup, WA in order to service increasing demand for energy efficient insulation solutions in the Pacific-Northwest region.  CCM anticipates the plant will be operational in the first quarter of 2013.  In 2012, CCM also commenced a capital project to relocate polyiso operations at its current 168,000 square foot Kingston, NY location to a new, 300,000 square foot facility in Montgomery, NY to serve the growing polyiso market in the northeast United States in a more cost effective, energy efficient and higher quality manner.  This project is expected to

 

29



 

be completed by the second quarter of 2013.  In May 2012, we announced a project to establish a new PVC (polyvinyl chloride) roofing membrane manufacturing line at our Greenville, Illinois location.  PVC membrane comprises approximately 15% of the commercial roofing market and is a growing market segment.  The new manufacturing line is expected to be operational by 2014.  CCM’s total capital expenditures in 2012 are expected to be approximately $74 million.

 

CCM’s net sales and EBIT are generally higher in the second and third quarters of the year due to increased construction activity during these periods. Over the last several years, CCM’s commercial roofing business has shifted significantly towards re-roofing, which currently constitutes approximately 75% of its commercial activity.  The re-roofing market is less cyclical and relatively more stable than the new construction market due to the large base of installed roofs requiring replacement in a given year.  The percent of business attributable to re-roofing has fallen from levels of 85% in the prior year due to modest increases in new construction and reduced re-roofing demand.  The slower market conditions for the re-roofing market that we experienced during the third quarter could continue through the fourth quarter of 2012. In addition, while prices for some of CCM’s key raw materials have recently declined, costs could be increasing in the near future for certain of CCM’s key raw materials, particularly benzene based inputs. CCM may also experience difficulty maintaining its current price levels due to significant price competition.

 

CCM’s presence in Europe has grown significantly with the PDT and Hertalan acquisitions although total sales into Europe comprise less than 10% of CCM’s overall revenue.  Since the acquisitions of PDT and Hertalan, CCM has been integrating all of its European operations.  While the European region is in economic recession, the market in Europe for CCM’s singly-ply roofing application is growing in replacement of declining demand for modified bitumen roofing systems.

CTP’s net sales increase of 0.8% during the third quarter of 2012 primarily reflects higher selling prices.  Foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact of 0.3% of net sales during the third quarter of 2012 versus the prior year period.  CTP experienced solid growth in its high speed trailer and power sports markets of 18% and 9%, respectively, reflecting continued progress on strengthening sales channels.  This increase was partially offset by a 22% decline in demand from the outdoor power equipment market, where drought conditions in the U.S. reduced demand for lawn and garden equipment as well as impacted demand for agriculture products to the aftermarket. For the first nine months of 2012, CTP’s 7.2% net sales increase primarily reflected higher selling prices and, to a lesser extent, higher demand in CTP’s agriculture/construction, high speed trailer and power sports markets. CTP continues to build its sales to the higher margin replacement channel market where sales volume was up by 7% on a year-to-date basis.

 

CTP achieved solid improvement in its EBIT performance during the third quarter of 2012 versus the third quarter of 2011 due to lower raw material and freight costs, savings generated from the Carlisle Operating System and non-recurrence of plant start-up inefficiencies from 2011.  EBIT during the prior year third quarter included $4.0 million in costs related to management and organizational changes and $1.3 million of plant restructuring costs.

 

For the first nine months of 2012, CTP’s EBIT margin was favorably impacted by higher selling prices over raw material cost, savings from the Carlisle Operating System and the non-recurrence of plant start-up inefficiencies that were incurred in 2011.  Plant restructuring costs for the first nine months in 2012 of $1.6 million compared to costs of $5.1 million for the same prior year period.

 

CTP has a project underway to consolidate certain international operations into the United States.  CTP has incurred year to date expense of $1.6 million for this project, primarily related to the cost of employee termination benefits.  Total costs for this project are expected to be $1.9 and the consolidation is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

 

30



 

Net sales and EBIT for CTP are generally higher in the first six months of the year due to peak sales volumes in the outdoor power equipment product line. Drought conditions in the U.S. Midwest during 2012 have had a negative impact on products sales for the outdoor power equipment market.  While CTP has been increasing sales to the high speed trailer, power sports and related aftermarkets during 2012, we may continue to experience lower demand in the outdoor power equipment market in the fourth quarter 2012.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the carrying value of CTP’s goodwill was $92.1 million.  Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment or when evidence of a potential impairment exists. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to CTP or any of our other segments. However, deterioration of the outlook for CTP could potentially result in a future impairment loss within this segment.  For additional information, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies”.

Organic sales for CBF declined during the third quarter of 2012 by 10.2%.  In addition, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates during the third quarter of 2012 had a negative impact on sales of 2.2%.  Demand for CBF’s braking and friction applications to the construction market declined by 20%, reflecting slower worldwide economic conditions.  CBF has exited certain low margin or unprofitable product lines which reduced sales by $3.1 million during the third quarter of 2012. Partially offsetting this decline was an increase in sales to the mining and agriculture markets of 4% and 10%, respectively.

 

For the first nine months of 2012, CBF’s sales increased by 0.8% primarily reflecting organic sales growth during the first nine months of 2012 of 2.5%, offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations of 1.7%.  Demand from OE manufacturers in the construction, mining and agricultural markets has steadily declined since the beginning of 2012 reflecting slowing global market conditions.

 

EBIT margin declined during the third quarter of 2012 by 210 basis points at CBF reflecting higher per-unit production costs due to lower sales volumes, negative impact from changes in sales mix as well as the non-recurrence of a $2.8 million favorable adjustment in 2011 related to the Hawk acquisition.  Included in EBIT for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.8 million in restructuring costs primarily related to its exit from its Canada operation.  These negative impacts were offset by lower raw material costs and savings from the Carlisle Operating System.  For the first nine months of 2012, EBIT margin improvement reflects selling price increases over raw material costs and savings from the Carlisle Operating System partially offset by the negative impact of changes in sales mix.

 

31



 

CBF has experienced declining demand for its off-highway braking applications during 2012 due to lower growth in China, recessionary conditions in the European market and economic uncertainty resulting in reduced spending on infrastructure and construction projects.  However, the long term outlook for CBF appears favorable due to the specialized nature of its friction and off-highway braking applications, long term demand for infrastructure spending in developing regions such as Asia Pacific and South America and geographic diversity of CBF’s customer base.  For the near term, we expect lower sales may continue through the fourth quarter of 2012 and potentially into 2013.  CBF is taking actions to reduce operating costs in light of lower sales levels.

CIT’s sales growth of 52% reflected organic growth of 21% and sales from the Tri-Star acquisition of $23.2 million, or 31%.  Organic growth at CIT was driven by 25% growth in the aerospace market partially offset by a 2% decrease in sales to the military market and a 15% decrease in sales in the test and measurement market.  We continue to achieve higher sales for our in-flight entertainment applications, sales related to the Boeing 787 program and higher demand for other Boeing and Airbus programs. For the first nine months of 2012, CIT’s sales growth of 60% reflected 25% organic growth primarily due to high aerospace demand, and 35% growth from the Tri-Star acquisition.

 

CIT’s EBIT margin increased by 190 basis points in the third quarter of 2012 over the prior year period primarily on higher sales volume.  EBIT contribution from the Tri-Star acquisition was $3.8 million.  Also included in EBIT for the third quarter of 2012 was a $0.7 million gain reflecting the fair value of commodity swap agreements entered into that mitigate exposure to changes in the prices of copper and silver. Offsetting this was $0.4 million in additional costs to relocate certain operations to CIT’s Kent, WA facility. Year to date EBIT growth of 68% reflects higher sales volume partially offset by higher raw material costs and contributions of $11.3 million from the Tri-Star acquisition.  Included in Tri-Star’s EBIT contribution of $11.3 million are $1.8 million in acquisition related costs primarily due to additional cost of goods sold resulting from the fair valuation of inventory.

 

We expect sales to the aerospace market to continue to grow at a strong rate above U.S. GDP levels.  The long-term growth prospects for the aerospace market continue to be favorable. Demand by airlines for more fuel efficient aircraft, for which we provide many applications, is growing at a high rate worldwide.  However, the impact of uncertainty or reduction in military spending in the U.S. as a result of the budget process, as well as potential slowdown in global growth could have a negative impact on future results.

CFSP’s third quarter of 2012 sales increase reflected 2.6% organic growth offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange of 0.5%.  Of CFSP’s organic sales growth, selling price increases of 6% were offset by 3% reduced volume reflecting lower demand from its distributors to independent foodservice operators as well as lower demand in Europe.  Reduced sales demand was partially offset by higher sales by CFSP’s to its national restaurant accounts.  For the first nine months of 2012, sales growth of 2.0% reflected higher selling price partially offset by lower volume.

 

32



 

As part of its performance improvement strategy, CFSP commenced restructuring actions related to closing or consolidating certain of its manufacturing and distribution operations that were unprofitable and exiting the flameless chafer product line.  CFSP recorded $6.9 million in charges during the third quarter of 2012 for these activities, including $3.5 million for impairment of long-lived assets and a $2.5 million impairment charge related to the abandonment of the flameless chafer product line.  Additional costs related to these activities are expected to be $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the projects are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2012.  Annualized savings from the exit of these activities are estimated to be $5 million beginning in 2013.

 

CFSP’s EBIT margin loss of 1.9% during the third quarter of 2012 reflected the impact of restructuring costs partially offset by margin improvement from increased selling prices.  CFSP’s EBIT margin for the first nine months of 2012 of 5.4% was lower than prior year due to the aforementioned restructuring costs and higher raw material costs offset by the positive impact of high selling price higher selling price and savings from the Carlisle Operating System.

 

Sales for CFSP tend to be marginally stronger in the second and third quarters. Growth rates in the foodservice product sector have been low due to high unemployment impacting consumer confidence.  Recent restaurant industry indicators show positive trends in same store sales and operator sentiment however the outlook remains cautious for the restaurant market.  CFSP has a number of action plans underway to strengthen sales channels and improve operating and earnings performance, which include the aforementioned restructuring actions.

Corporate expenses are largely comprised of compensation, benefits and travel expense for the corporate office staff.  Corporate expenses also include certain external audit fees attributable to corporate activities and internal audit expenses as well as certain costs associated with our corporate support in Asia Pacific and Europe.  We also maintain a captive insurance program for workers compensation costs on behalf of all the Carlisle operating companies. The increase in corporate expense for the third quarter of 2012 versus the prior year period reflects higher incentive-based compensation expense, expense related to corporate-led companywide initiatives in business development, procurement, and management development and non-recurrence of $0.8 million in foreign exchange gains in the prior year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We maintain liquidity sources primarily consisting of cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of our committed credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, we had $87.1 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, of which $61.6 million was located in our wholly owned subsidiaries outside the United States.  Cash held by subsidiaries outside the United States is held primarily in the currency of the country in which it is located. Such cash is used to fund the operating activities of our foreign subsidiaries and for further investment in foreign operations. Generally, we consider such cash to be permanently reinvested in our foreign operations and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate such cash to fund U.S. operations and corporate activities. Repatriation of cash held by foreign subsidiaries may require the accrual and payment of taxes in the United States.

 

In addition, cash held by subsidiaries in China is subject to local laws and regulations that require government approval for conversion of such cash to and from U.S. dollars as well as for transfer of such cash to entities that are outside of China. As of September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.1 million located in wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company within China.

 

The unused portion of our credit facility as of September 30, 2012 was $430 million.

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $204.3 million from the first nine months of 2011 to the first nine months of 2012 was primarily due to higher earnings during the first nine months of 2012 versus the same prior year period and difference in usage of cash to fund working capital. Cash provided by working capital and other assets and liabilities of $15.2 million for the first nine months of 2012 was a favorable change in cash of $112.5 million versus the $97.3 million in cash used for working capital and other assets and liabilities the first nine months of 2011.  The favorable change in working capital primarily reflected lower usage of cash for receivables and inventory in part due to lower sales growth rate in 2012 versus 2011.

 

We view the ratio of our average working capital balances (defined as the average of the quarter end balances of receivables, plus inventory less accounts payable) as a percentage of annualized sales (defined as year-to-date net sales calculated on an annualized basis) as an important measure of our ability to effectively manage our cash requirements in relation to changes in sales activity.  For the first nine months of 2012, average working capital as a percentage of annualized sales increased to 22.1%, as compared to a percentage of 21.5% for the first nine months of 2011 on slightly higher accounts receivable and inventory levels as a percentage of sales, when compared to the prior year.  We are focused on using the Carlisle Operating System across all the business segments to improve cash flow and key working capital measurements such as Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), Inventory Turns and Days Payable Outstanding (“DPO”).

 

Cash used for investing activities was $117.2 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared to $150.9 million for the first nine months of 2011. Capital expenditures were $93.7 million in the first nine months of 2012 compared to capital expenditures of $48.5 million in the first nine months of 2011. Plant expansion projects at Interconnect Technologies are substantially complete.  Brake and Friction has plant expansion or upgrade projects underway both in the U.S. and Italy.  Construction Materials is currently building two new insulation materials facilities as well as establishing a new PVC manufacturing line.  We expect our full year capital expenditures will be between approximately $135 million and $140 million.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, we utilized cash of $48.9 million to acquire Hertalan.  Also during the first quarter of 2012, we received proceeds from the sale of the PDT profiles business of $22.1 million.  During the prior year, we utilized $113.4 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $7.5 million, to acquire PDT in Germany.

 

Cash used by financing activities of $195.5 million for the first nine months of 2012 primarily reflects the reduction in borrowings of $189.3 million and $35.1 million for the payment of dividends offset by increased cash from stock option activity.  During the third quarter of 2012, we increased our dividend by 11%, making it the 36th consecutive year of dividend increases.  Cash provided by financing activities of $24.0 million for the first nine months of 2011 primarily reflects $103 million in proceeds from borrowings under our revolving credit facility offset by the redemption of senior unsecured notes assumed in the Hawk acquisition for $59.0 million and $32.3 million for the payment of dividends.

 

Debt Instruments and Covenants

 

At September 30, 2012 we had $430 million available under our $600 million revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with all covenants and limitations under this facility in 2012 and 2011. The average interest rate of borrowings under the revolving credit facility during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was 1.33%.  Our outstanding borrowings of $170 million as of September 30, 2012 under our credit facility primarily reflect borrowings used to fund the acquisitions of Tri-Star Electronics in December 2011 and Hertalan in March 2012, less cash generated by operations applied to reduction of debt.

We also maintain a $45 million uncommitted line of credit, of which $45 million was available at September 30, 2012.

 

We have senior unsecured notes outstanding of $150 million due 2016 (at a stated interest rate of 6.125%) and $250 million due 2020 (at a stated interest rate of 5.125%) that are rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s and Baa2 by Moody’s.  We view our debt to capital ratio (defined as short-term debt plus long-term debt divided by the sum of total Shareholders’ equity, long-term debt and short-term debt) as an important indicator of our ability to utilize debt in financing acquisitions. As of September 30, 2012, our debt to capital ratio was 25%.

 

Under the Company’s various debt and credit facilities, the Company is required to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations, including limitations on leverage ratios, interest coverage and limits on outstanding debt balances held by certain subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and limitations as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment at a reporting unit level.  Additionally, goodwill is tested for impairment on an interim basis if at any time facts and circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred.

 

As discussed in Item 2 of the Company’s March 31, 2012 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Critical Accounting Policies, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test for the Transportation Products reporting unit as of March 31, 2012 and found that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 14%.  As of June 30, 2012, in accordance with ASU 2011-08, management performed a qualitative assessment of the Transportation Products reporting unit and determined that the fair value of a reporting unit is not more likely than not less than the carrying amount.  As such, management concluded that an interim goodwill impairment test was not necessary as of June 30, 2012.

 

Based on changes in forecasted cash flows related to the Transportation Products segment, management determined at September 30, 2012 that such changes represented an indicator that the goodwill of approximately $92 million within the Transportation Products reporting unit may be impaired.  As such, management performed an interim goodwill impairment test for CTP as of September 30, 2012.

 

As of September 30, 2012, management estimated that CTP’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 2%. Consistent with the October 1, 2011 annual test and March 31, 2012 interim test, fair value was based on an income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. Management also utilized fair value estimates derived from the market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method to validate the results of the discounted cash flow method, which required management to make assumptions about the applicability of those multiples to CTP.  The discounted cash flow method required management to estimate future cash flows and discount those amounts to present value. The key assumption that drove fair value as of September 30, 2012 was future EBIT. Management utilized historical and expected EBIT, based on year-to-date actual results as of September 30, 2012 as well as historical experience. Future EBIT also continue to include estimates of increased future cash flows to be derived from benefits attributable to the restructuring activities in the Transportation Products reporting unit undertaken in 2009, 2010 and 2011. These activities include the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and distribution centers in the United States and manufacturing capacity in China, activities to increase production efficiencies at its Jackson, TN start-up tire manufacturing facility, organizational changes, and streamlining of administrative functions. The costs associated with these restructuring activities are not expected to recur in future periods and are expected to result in increased profitability and cash flows in this reporting unit versus recent historical results. The results for the first nine months of 2012 have indicated that such benefits are being captured, however, while management believes that these assumptions are appropriate, significant changes in the estimated future benefits of the restructuring activities, along with continued revenue growth rates, price and availability of key raw materials, continued operating efficiencies and discount rates may materially affect the Transportation Products reporting unit’s fair value.

 

While management believes its assumptions are appropriate, they are subject to uncertainty and by nature include judgments and estimates regarding various factors including the realization of future sales price increases, fluctuation in price and availability in key raw materials, and future operating efficiencies. Based on management’s sensitivity analysis a 3% decrease in the EBIT assumption would reduce estimated fair value by approximately $8 million, which would result in the

carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value. This would require the Company to perform step two of the impairment test described more fully in Item 7 of the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are currently no new accounting standards that have been issued that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.          Legal Proceedings

 

Litigation

 

Over the years, the Company has been named as a defendant, along with numerous other defendants, in lawsuits in various state courts in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to exposure to asbestos-containing brakes, which Carlisle manufactured in limited amounts between the late-1940’s and the mid-1980’s.  In addition to compensatory awards, these lawsuits may also seek punitive damages.

 

Other than the matter described below, to date, the Company has obtained dismissals or settlements of its asbestos-related lawsuits with no material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  The Company maintains insurance coverage that applies to the Company’s defense costs and payments of settlements or judgments in connection with asbestos-related lawsuits.

 

On December 22, 2010, the Company settled a case involving alleged asbestos-related injury.  The total amount of the award and related loss, inclusive of insurance recoveries, was approximately $5.8 million, which was recorded in discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2010, as the related alleged asbestos-containing product was manufactured by the Company’s former on-highway brake business.

 

Based on an ongoing evaluation and the Company’s insurance coverage, the Company believes that the resolution of its remaining pending asbestos claims, including the above matter, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, although these matters could result in the Company being subject to monetary damages, costs or expenses, and charges against earnings in particular periods.

 

From time-to-time the Company may be involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company, but may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations for a particular period. There were no material legal expenses recognized during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011.

 

Environmental Matters

 

The Company is subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharges, chemical and hazardous waste management and disposal. Some of these environmental laws hold owners or operators of land or businesses liable for their own and for previous owners’ or operators’ releases of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Other environmental laws and regulations require the obtainment and compliance with environmental permits. To date, costs of complying with environmental, health and safety requirements have not been material.  The nature of the Company’s operations and its long history of industrial activities at certain of its current or former facilities, as well as those acquired could potentially result in material environmental liabilities.

 

While the Company must comply with existing and pending climate change legislation, regulation, international treaties or accords, current laws and regulations do not have a material impact on its business, capital expenditures or financial position. Future events, including those relating to climate change or greenhouse gas regulation could require the Company to incur expenses related to the modification or curtailment of operations, installation of pollution control equipment, or investigation and cleanup of contaminated sites.
