The Company operates in two principal business segments: Industrial and Aerospace. The Industrial Segment is the largest and includes a significant portion of International operations.

 

Industrial - This segment produces a broad range of motion control and fluid systems and components used in all kinds of manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, mobile construction, agricultural and military machinery and equipment. Sales are made directly to major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and through a broad distribution network to smaller OEMs and the aftermarket. Identifiable assets in the Industrial Segment increased significantly since June 30, 2005 due primarily to acquisitions.

 

Aerospace - This segment designs and manufactures products and provides aftermarket support for commercial, military and general aviation aircraft, missile and spacecraft markets. The Aerospace Segment provides a full range of systems and components for hydraulic, pneumatic and fuel applications.

 

The Company also reports a Climate & Industrial Controls Segment. The Climate & Industrial Controls Segment manufactures motion-control systems and components for use primarily in the refrigeration and air conditioning and transportation industries. Identifiable assets in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment increased significantly since June 30, 2005 due primarily to acquisitions.

 

In August 2005 and December 2004, the Company divested the business units comprising the Other Segment which designed and manufactured custom-engineered buildings and developed and manufactured chemical car care products and maintenance equipment, respectively. The divested business units have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

 

1. Management representation

 

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 2005, the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and cash flows for the six months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

 

2. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

 

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” The implementation of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” Refer to footnote 3 for further discussion of the adoption of this Statement.

 

3. Stock incentive plans

 

On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) and elected to use the modified prospective transition method. The modified prospective transition method requires that compensation cost be recognized in the financial statements for all awards granted after the date of adoption as well as for existing awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as of the date of adoption and requires that prior periods not be restated. The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the granting of nonqualified options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) to officers, directors and key employees of the Company. Outstanding options and SARs are exercisable from one to three years after the date of grant and expire no more than ten years after grant. The Company satisfies stock option and SAR exercises by issuing common shares out of treasury, which have been repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program described in footnote 6, or through the issuance of previously unissued common shares. Prior to the adoption of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), the Company used the intrinsic-value based method to account for stock options and made no charges against earnings with respect to options granted. The Company has elected to use the “short-cut method” to calculate the historical pool of windfall tax benefits upon adoption of FASB Statement 123 (revised 2004). The election to use the “short-cut method” had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

The adoption of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) reduced income from continuing operations before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 by $5.2 million, reduced net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 by $3.4 million ($.03 per basic and diluted share), reduced income from continuing operations before income taxes for the first six months of fiscal 2006 by $22.8 million and reduced net income for the first six months of fiscal 2006 by $14.8 million ($.13 per basic and diluted share). The adoption of this Statement had an immaterial effect on the Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2005.

3. Stock incentive plans, continued

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and nonvested awards in the period. The total stock-based employee compensation expense for the three months and six months period ending December 31, 2004 were calculated using the non-substantive vesting period approach.

 

     Three Months

Net income, as reported

   $ 171,127    $ 303,910

     5,250      8,104

Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method, net of tax

     8,303      19,431
    

  

Pro forma net income

   $ 168,074    $ 292,583
    

  

Earnings per share:

             

Basic – as reported

   $ 1.44    $ 2.56

Basic – pro forma

   $ 1.41    $ 2.47

Diluted – as reported

   $ 1.41    $ 2.52

Diluted – pro forma

   $ 1.39    $ 2.43

 

The fair values for the significant stock-based awards granted during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     2005

    2004

 

Risk-free rate of return

     4.2 %     3.5 %

Expected life of award

     5.4 yrs       4.2 yrs  

Expected dividend yield of stock

     1.6 %     1.7 %

Expected volatility of stock

     33.2 %     32.7 %

Weighted-average fair value

   $ 21.00     $ 14.97  

 

The expected volatility of stock assumption was derived by referring to changes in the Company’s historical common stock prices over a timeframe similar to that of the expected life of the award. The Company has no reason to believe that future stock volatility is likely to differ from historical volatility.

Exercisable at December 31, 2005

   6,990,985     $ 44.36    5.7 years    $ 151.5

 

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $9.3 million and $44.8 million, respectively. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $11.7 million and $31.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. An income tax benefit of $3.1 million and $14.5 million was realized from stock option exercises during the six months ending December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2005, $22.1 million of expense with respect to nonvested stock-based awards has yet to be recognized and will be amortized into expense over the employee’s remaining requisite service period.

For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, 2,332,787 and 1,018 common shares subject to stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive. For the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, 1,815,839 and 289,473 common shares subject to stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

 

6. Stock repurchase program

 

The Company has a program to repurchase up to 1 million of the Company’s common shares per year on the open market, at prevailing prices, including the systematic repurchase of no less than $10 million in common shares each fiscal quarter. Repurchases are primarily funded from operating cash flows and the shares are initially held as treasury stock. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2005, the Company repurchased 205,300 shares of its common stock at an average price of $62.13 per share. Year-to-date, the Company has repurchased 375,400 shares at an average price of $63.04 per share. In January 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the authorization to repurchase up to 10 million shares of its common stock, including shares yet to be repurchased under prior authorizations.

 

7. Debt

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company issued EUR 400 million Eurobonds in the European debt capital market.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005

AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of commercial, mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

 

The Company’s order rates are highly indicative of the Company’s future revenues and thus a key metric for future performance. The Company publishes its order rates on a monthly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for commercial, mobile and industrial orders and three to 18 months for aerospace orders.

 

The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a strong correlation to the Company’s future order rates are the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) index of manufacturing activity with respect to commercial, mobile and industrial markets and aircraft miles flown, revenue passenger miles and Department of Defense spending for aerospace markets. An ISM index above 50 indicates that the manufacturing economy is expanding resulting in the expectation that the Company’s order rates in the commercial, mobile and industrial markets should be increasing. The ISM index at the end of December 2005 was 54.2 compared to 53.8 at the end of June 2005. With respect to the aerospace market, aircraft miles flown and passenger miles continue to show improvement over comparable fiscal 2005 levels while Department of Defense spending is expected to increase in the mid-single-digit range over comparable fiscal 2005 levels.

 

The Company also believes that there is a high correlation between interest rates and industrial manufacturing activity. The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate five times during fiscal 2006 and eight times during fiscal 2005. Recent and future increases in interest rates could have a negative impact on industrial production thereby lowering future order rates.

 

The Company’s major opportunities for growth are as follows:

 

    Leverage the Company’s broad product line with customers desiring to consolidate their vendor base and outsource engineering,

 

    Marketing systems solutions for customer applications,

 

    Expand the Company’s business presence outside of North America,

 

    New product introductions, including those resulting from the Company’s innovation initiatives, and

 

    Strategic acquisitions in a consolidating industry.

 

The financial condition of the Company remains strong as evidenced by the continued generation of substantial cash flows from operations, a debt to debt-equity ratio of 31.0 percent, ample borrowing capabilities and strong credit ratings. Cash flow from operations for the first six months of fiscal 2006 were $430 million or 10.1% of sales.

 

Many acquisition opportunities remain available to the Company within its target markets. During the first six months of fiscal 2006, the Company completed nine acquisitions whose aggregate annual revenues were approximately $703 million. The Company believes that future financial results will reflect the

 

- 14 -


benefit of a fast and efficient integration of the companies recently acquired. Acquisitions will continue to be considered from time to time to the extent there is a strong strategic fit, while at the same time, maintaining the Company’s strong financial position. The Company will also continue to assess the strategic fit of its existing businesses and initiate efforts to divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term fit for the Company, as evidenced by the divestitures completed in the first six months of fiscal 2006.

 

Current challenges facing the Company include maintaining premier customer service levels while benefiting from strong customer demand, successfully matching price increases to raw material price increases and the rising expenses related to employee retirement and health care benefits. The Company has implemented a number of strategic financial performance initiatives relating to growth and margin improvement in order to meet these challenges, including strategic procurement, strategic pricing, lean manufacturing and business realignments.

 

The discussion below is structured to provide a separate analysis of the Consolidated Statement of Income, Results by Business Segment, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows.

Net sales for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 increased 13.2 percent and 12.9 percent, respectively, over the comparable prior year net sales amounts reflecting higher volume experienced in all Segments. Acquisitions in the last 12 months contributed about 64 percent of the net sales increase in the current-year quarter and about 61 percent of the increase for the first six months of fiscal 2006. The effect of currency rate changes reduced net sales by approximately $47 million and $29 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006, respectively.

 

Gross profit margin increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 due to a combination of the increase in sales as well as the effects of the Company’s financial performance initiatives, especially in the areas of strategic procurement and lean manufacturing. Included in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 gross profit is $1.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of expense related to stock-based compensation awards. Also included in gross profit are business realignment charges of $3.8 million and $1.0 million in the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $5.8 million and $2.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 9 on page 10 for further discussion).

 

- 15 -


Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 primarily due to the higher sales volume, expenses related to stock-based compensation awards, which amounted to $3.3 million in the current-year quarter and $16.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2006, and higher amortization expense related to intangible assets.

 

Interest expense for the current-year quarter increased 13.6 percent from the prior-year quarter and increased 7.9 percent from the first six months of fiscal 2005. The increase in expense is primarily due to higher average debt outstanding resulting from an increase in borrowings required to fund the higher level of acquisition activity in both the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006.

 

Other expense (income), net for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 includes a loss of $11.0 million resulting from the sale of the Thermoplastics division. Other expense (income), net for the first six months of fiscal 2005 includes an $8.8 million expense related to the writedown of a real estate investment.

 

Effective tax rate from continuing operations for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 is lower primarily due to international tax planning initiatives.

 

Income from continuing operations for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 was adversely affected by an additional expense of approximately $5.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively, related to domestic qualified defined benefit plans, resulting primarily from changes in actuarial assumptions and the amortization of actuarial losses. The additional pension expense for the first six months of fiscal 2005 includes the recognition of a one-time curtailment loss of $4.6 million.

 

Discontinued operations represents the operating results and related gain on the sale, net of tax of the Astron Buildings business which was divested in August 2005 and the Wynn’s Specialty Chemical business which was divested in December 2004.

 

Backlog increased from the prior year due to an increase in order rates throughout most businesses in the Industrial North American, Aerospace and Climate & Industrial Controls Segments as well as the effect of acquisitions. Backlog increased from the June 30, 2005 amount of $2,304.2 million due to order rates exceeding shipments during the first six months of fiscal 2006, especially in the Aerospace and Climate & Industrial Controls Segments.

The above presentation reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Industrial operations reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions made within the prior four fiscal quarters as well as the effects of currency exchange rates. The effects of acquisitions and currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage changes in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.

 

Excluding the effects of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, the increase in Industrial North American sales for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 reflects higher end-user demand experienced across most of the Industrial North American markets, particularly in the heavy-duty truck, construction, industrial machine tool and mobile equipment markets partially offset by lower demand in the microelectronics market. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, the increase in Industrial International sales for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 is attributed to higher volume across most markets in Europe and the Asia Pacific region partially offset by lower volume in Latin America.

 

Industrial North American and Industrial International margins for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 benefited from the higher sales volume and the execution of the Company’s financial performance initiatives, especially in the area of strategic procurement and lean manufacturing. Acquisitions, not yet fully integrated, negatively impacted Industrial North American and Industrial International margins in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006.

 

The increase in backlog from a year ago and the June 30, 2005 amount of $943.9 million is primarily due to acquisitions.

 

The Company anticipates sales volume in the Industrial North American operations for the remainder of fiscal 2006 to exceed comparable fiscal 2005 levels at the same rate as the first six months of fiscal 2006. Sales volume in the Industrial International operations for the remainder of fiscal 2006 is expected to exceed the rate by which sales for the first six months of fiscal 2006 exceeded the comparable fiscal 2005 levels by approximately 20 percent. For the balance of fiscal 2006, Industrial North American and Industrial International operating margins are expected to remain at their current fiscal year-to-date level.

The Company expects to continue to take the actions necessary to structure appropriately the Industrial Segment operations to operate in their current economic environment. Such actions may include the necessity to record additional business realignment charges in fiscal 2006.

The increase in sales in the Aerospace Segment for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 is primarily due to an increase in both military and commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket volume. The lower margins in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 were primarily due to a higher concentration of sales occurring in the commercial and military OEM businesses as well as a higher level of engineering costs incurred for new programs.

 

The increase in backlog from a year ago and the June 30, 2005 amount of $1,229.4 million is due to higher order rates experienced in both the commercial and military businesses. The Company anticipates sales volume in the Aerospace operations for the remainder of fiscal 2006 to exceed comparable fiscal 2005 levels at a slightly higher rate than the first six months of fiscal 2006 and expects operating margins to remain at the current year-to-date level. A higher concentration of commercial OEM volume in future product mix could result in lower margins.

The above presentation reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions made within the prior four fiscal quarters as well as the effects of currency exchange rates. The effects of acquisitions and currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage changes in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.

 

Excluding the effects of acquisitions and currency-rate changes, the increase in sales in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment is primarily due to higher end-user demand in the commercial air conditioning market, which is being driven in part by energy efficiency legislation. The decrease in margins is primarily due to business realignment charges incurred in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006.

 

The increase in backlog from the prior-year quarter is primarily due to acquisitions as well as higher order rates in the residential and commercial air conditioning markets. For the remainder of fiscal 2006, sales are expected to increase at a lower rate over the comparable fiscal 2005 levels and operating margins are expected to increase in the mid-double-digit range resulting in total fiscal 2006 operating margins being at or slightly below the total fiscal 2005 level. Current business realignment activities are taking longer to complete than originally anticipated resulting in the realization of the cost savings from these activities being delayed until fiscal 2007. The Company expects to continue to take the actions necessary to structure appropriately the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment operations to operate in their current economic environment. Such actions may include the necessity to record additional business realignment charges in fiscal 2006.

 

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $28.5 million in the current-year quarter compared to $30.6 million for the prior-year quarter and were $57.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006 compared to $55.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2005. As a percent of sales, corporate general and administrative expenses for the current-year quarter decreased to 1.3 percent compared to 1.6 percent for the prior-year quarter and decreased to 1.3 percent for the first six months of fiscal 2006 compared to 1.5 percent for the first six months of fiscal 2005. The fluctuation in the level of corporate general and administrative expenses in both the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 is primarily attributable to expenses associated with incentive compensation and income from insurance recoveries.

 

Included in Other expense (in the Business Segment Results by Industry) in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 is $5.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively, of expense related to stock-based compensation awards and a $11.0 million loss resulting from the sale of the Thermoplastics division. Other expense for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 includes $12.9 million and $25.2 million, respectively, of pension expense compared to $5.9 million and $16.6 million for the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005, respectively. Included in Other expense for the first six months of 2005 is an $8.8 million expense associated with the writedown of a real estate investment.

Accounts receivable are primarily receivables due from customers for sales of product ($1,144.6 million at December 31, 2005 and $1,111.1 million at June 30, 2005). Accounts receivable increased during the first half of fiscal 2006 primarily due to acquisitions partially offset by a lower level of sales in the latter part of the second quarter as a result of fewer work days due to the holiday season. Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable increased to 49 days from 47 days during the first six months of fiscal 2006.

 

Inventories increased $136.5 million since June 30, 2005 primarily due to acquisitions, with days supply increasing to 71 days from 65 days at June 30, 2005.

 

Goodwill and Intangible assets, net both increased primarily as a result of current-year acquisitions.

 

Plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, increased primarily due to plant and equipment acquired in current-year acquisitions partially offset by depreciation exceeding capital expenditures.

 

Other assets decreased since June 30, 2005 primarily as a result of decreases in qualified benefit plan assets, partially offset by an increase in deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes increased primarily due to the tax effect of pensions and stock compensation expense.

 

Accounts payable, trade increased from June 30, 2005 due to acquisitions.

 

- 20 -


Accrued liabilities decreased primarily as a result of the payment of fiscal 2005 incentive compensation during the current-year first quarter, the settlement of interest rate swap agreements and lower accrued interest, partially offset by an increase due to acquisitions. Accrued interest was lower than June 30, 2005 due to the repayment of EUR 300 million of Euro Notes in November 2005.

 

Accrued domestic and foreign taxes decreased primarily due to the payment of estimated income taxes for fiscal 2006 during the current-year quarter.

 

Due to the strengthening of the dollar, foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in a decrease in shareholders’ equity of $15.2 million during the first half of fiscal 2006. The translation adjustments primarily affected Accounts receivable, Inventories, Plant and equipment, Goodwill, Other Assets, Net assets of discontinued operations, Long-term debt and Pensions and other postretirement benefits.

Cash flows from operating activities - The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2006 is primarily due to a decrease in net income from discontinued operations and the non-cash charge related to stock-based compensation. Net cash provided by operating activities also increased due to working capital items, primarily accrued domestic and foreign taxes and accounts payable, trade, partially offset by accounts receivable, net and various accrual accounts.

 

Cash flow used in investing activities - The increase in the amount of cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2006 is attributable primarily to an increase in acquisition activity. Capital expenditures increased $27.6 million in fiscal 2006, and proceeds from the sale of businesses decreased. Included in Other in fiscal 2005 is the write down of a real estate investment.

 

Cash flow from financing activities - In fiscal 2006, the Company increased its outstanding borrowings by a net total of $434.8 million compared to an increase of $42.9 million in fiscal 2005, primarily due to increased acquisition activity. Included in the current-year repayment of borrowings is debt assumed in acquisitions. Common stock activity provided cash of $1.8 million in fiscal 2006 compared to providing cash of $20.3 million in fiscal 2005. The decrease in cash provided by common stock activity in fiscal 2006 is primarily due to the level of share repurchase and stock option activity between periods.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company issued EUR 400 million Eurobonds in the European debt capital market. EUR 200 million Eurobonds bear interest of 3.5 percent and will mature in a balloon payment in November 2010 and EUR 200 million Eurobonds bear interest of 4.125 percent and will mature in a balloon payment in November 2015. The proceeds from the Eurobonds were used to retire EUR 300 million of Euro Notes that became due in November 2005 and the balance of the proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

 

Excluded from Cash flows from financing activities is an increase in book overdrafts of $15.2 million for the current-year first six months and an increase in book overdrafts of $17.0 million for the prior-year first six months. These cash flows are included in Accounts payable, trade in Cash flows from operating activities. The book overdrafts result from a delay in sweeping cash from one bank to another and are settled the next business day; therefore, the book overdrafts are not considered bank borrowings by the Company.

The Company’s goal is to maintain no less than an “A” rating on senior debt to ensure availability and reasonable cost of external funds. As a means of achieving this objective, the Company has established a financial goal of maintaining a ratio of debt to debt-equity of 34 to 37 percent.

The Company has a line of credit totaling $1,025 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $583.5 million was available as of December 31, 2005. The Company has the right, no more than once a year, to increase the facility amount, in minimum increments of $25 million up to a maximum facility amount of $1,250 million. The credit agreement expires September 2010, however the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis. The credit agreement supports the Company’s commercial paper note program, which is rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s and F-1 by Fitch, Inc. These ratings are considered investment grade. The revolving credit agreement requires a facility fee of 5/100ths of one percent of the commitment per annum at the Company’s present rating level. The revolving credit agreement contains provisions that increase the facility fee of the credit agreement in the event the Company’s credit ratings are lowered. A lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

 

The Company’s revolving credit agreement and certain debt agreements contain certain financial and other covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the agreements for future borrowings. At the Company’s present rating level, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets be less than 10 percent. As of December 31, 2005, the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets was less than one percent. The Company is in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the agreements.

 

The Company anticipates making a cash contribution of approximately $100 million to $110 million, the majority of which is voluntary, to its qualified defined benefit plans during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The majority of the cash contribution will be made to the North American plans. The Company anticipates funding this contribution primarily using its commercial paper note program.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The following critical accounting policy should be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies discussed in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K .

 

Stock-based compensation – The computation of the expense associated with stock-based compensation requires the use of a valuation model. The Company currently uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of its stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Black-Scholes model requires assumptions regarding the volatility of the Company’s stock, the expected life of the stock award and the Company’s dividend ratio. The Company primarily uses historical data to determine the assumptions to be used in the Black-Scholes model and has no reason to believe that future data is likely to differ from historical data. However, changes in the assumptions to reflect future stock price volatility, future dividend payments and future stock award exercise experience could result in a change in the assumptions used to value awards in the future that may result in a material change to the fair value calculation of stock-based awards.

 

- 22 -


RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

 

On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R) and elected to use the modified prospective transition method . The modified prospective transition method requires compensation cost to be recognized in the financial statements for all awards granted after the date of adoption as well as for existing awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as of the date of adoption. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company used the intrinsic-value based method to account for stock options and made no charges against earnings with respect to options granted.

 

The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the grant of nonqualified options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) to officers, directors and key employees of the Company. Outstanding options and SARs are exercisable from one to three years after the date of grant and expire no more than ten years after grant. The Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of nonqualified options and SARs granted. The adoption of FAS 123R reduced income from continuing operations before income taxes for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 by $5.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively, and reduced net income for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 by $3.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively ($.03 per basic and diluted share for the current-year quarter and $.13 per basic and diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2006). The adoption of this Statement had an immaterial effect on the Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, $22.1 million of expense with respect to nonvested stock-based awards has yet to be recognized and will be amortized into expense over the employee’s remaining requisite service period.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Forward-looking statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q and other written reports and oral statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of release, and as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen uncertainties and risks. All statements regarding future performance, earnings projections, events or developments are forward-looking statements. It is possible that the future performance and earnings projections of the Company may differ materially from current expectations, depending on economic conditions within both its industrial and aerospace markets, and the Company’s ability to achieve anticipated benefits associated with announced realignment activities, strategic initiatives to improve operating margins and growth and innovation initiatives. A change in the economic conditions in individual markets may have a particularly volatile effect on segment performance. Among other factors which may affect future performance are:

 

  changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers or suppliers, including delays or cancellations in shipments,

 

  uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion or integration of acquisitions,

 

  threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism,

 

  competitive market conditions and resulting effects on sales and pricing,

 

  increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing,

 

  the Company’s ability to manage costs related to insurance and employee retirement and health care benefits, and

 

  global economic factors, including manufacturing activity, air travel trends, currency exchange rates, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation and interest rates.

 

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in related foreign currencies. These contracts are with major financial institutions and the risk of loss is considered remote. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. In addition, the Company’s foreign locations, in the ordinary course of business, enter into financial guarantees through financial institutions, which enable customers to be reimbursed in the event of nonperformance by the Company. The total carrying and fair value of open contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of these arrangements is not material to the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company’s two interest rate swap agreements were settled. The swap agreements were designated as a hedge against the anticipated refinancing of the Company’s EURO Notes that were due in November 2005. The Company made a net payment of $3.5 million to settle the swaps. This net payment will be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the term of the Eurobonds issued in November 2005.

 

The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company’s objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting its exposure to changes in near-term interest rates.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information.

 

  (b) The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), has recently advised the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors that certain services involving the custody and delivery of checks to the local tax authorities were performed for a Company subsidiary by a PwC affiliate in Cyprus that have raised questions regarding Pwc’s independence with respect to its performance of audit services. These services are not permitted under the auditor independence rules. The services were provided for only sixty days following the Company’s acquisition of the Cyprus entity in October, 2004 and the fees were insignificant. PwC has informed the Company and the Audit Committee that it has concluded that its impartiality and objectivity were unaffected by the provision of the services and that the services performed have not impaired PwC’s independence with respect to performance of its audit services.

The Audit Committee and PwC have discussed PwC’s independence with respect to the Company in light of the foregoing. The Company and the Audit Committee will continue to monitor and assess the independence of PwC on an on-going basis.
