MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

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

The Company’s order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day 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 as follows:

 

   

Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to most mobile and industrial markets;

 

   

Aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and Department of Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and

 

   

Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market.

A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region around the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 would indicate the opposite effect. The PMI for the United States at the end of fiscal 2009 was 44.8 and the PMI for the Eurozone countries was 42.6 at the end of fiscal 2009. The PMI for the United States and the Eurozone countries have both decreased significantly during fiscal 2009 and the Company’s order rates during fiscal 2009 have reflected this decline. However, the PMI for the United States and the Eurozone countries have both sequentially increased during the latter part of fiscal 2009 and the Company expects the sequential increases to continue in the short term, though beyond that period the PMI levels are uncertain.

With respect to the aerospace market, aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles during fiscal 2009 have declined moderately from comparable fiscal 2008 levels, with the most of the decline occurring in the latter part of fiscal 2009. The Company anticipates that both aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles in fiscal 2010 will be lower than their fiscal 2009 levels. The Company anticipates that Department of Defense spending in fiscal 2010 will be about four percent higher than the fiscal 2009 level.

With respect to the North American residential air conditioning market, housing starts in June 2009 were approximately 46 percent lower than housing starts in June 2008. The Company anticipates the level of housing starts in fiscal 2010 will continue to be well below historical normal levels.

The Company also believes that there is a high negative correlation between interest rates and industrial manufacturing activity. Increases in interest rates typically have a negative impact on industrial production thereby lowering future order rates while decreases in interest rates typically have the opposite effect.

The Company remains focused on maintaining its financial strength through the current worldwide economic downturn by adjusting its cost structure to reflect changing demand levels, maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing its cash. The Company’s Win Strategy initiatives relating to growth and margin improvement are designed to assist in meeting this challenge. The Company has implemented several additional initiatives, including workforce reductions, salary freezes, and short work weeks, to reduce costs in response to the continued deterioration in worldwide economic conditions and the corresponding decline in the Company’s order rates. The Company has also developed contingency plans to further control costs if economic conditions continue to deteriorate.

Despite the current economic conditions, the financial condition of the Company remains strong. The Company continues to generate substantial cash flows from operations, has controlled capital spending and has proactively managed working capital, with particular attention to collecting receivables from customers in financial difficulty. The Company has been able to borrow needed funds at affordable interest rates and currently has a debt to debt-equity ratio of 35.2 percent.

 

13 - 2


While current worldwide economic conditions necessitate that the Company concentrate its efforts on maintaining financial strength, the Company believes many opportunities for growth remain available. The Company will evaluate these opportunities as appropriate in the current environment in order to strongly position itself for when the economic recovery ultimately occurs. Major opportunities for growth are as follows:

 

   

Leveraging the Company’s broad product line with customers desiring to consolidate their vendor base and outsource system engineering;

 

   

Marketing systems solutions for customer applications;

 

   

Expanding the Company’s business presence outside of North America;

 

   

Introducing new products, including those resulting from the Company’s innovation initiatives;

 

   

Completing strategic acquisitions in a consolidating motion and control industry; and

 

   

Expanding the Company’s vast distribution network.

During the first half of fiscal 2009, the Company completed nine acquisitions whose aggregate annual revenues were approximately $532 million. 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. Future business divestitures could have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The discussion below is structured to separately discuss each of the financial statements presented on pages 13-13 to 13-17. All year references are to fiscal years.

Discussion of Consolidated Statement of Income

The Consolidated Statement of Income summarizes the Company’s operating performance over the last three fiscal years.

 

(millions)

   2009     2008     2007  

Net sales

   $ 10,309      $ 12,146      $ 10,718   

Gross profit margin

Net income

   $ 509      $ 949      $ 830   

Net income, as percent of sales

     4.9     7.8     7.7

Net sales in 2009 were 15.1 percent lower than 2008. The decline in sales in 2009 primarily reflects lower volume in all segments except for the Aerospace Segment. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months contributed approximately $539 million in sales. The effect of currency rate changes reduced net sales by approximately $490 million.

Net sales in 2008 were 13.3 percent higher than 2007. The increase in sales in 2008 primarily reflects higher volume experienced in the Industrial International and Aerospace Segments. Acquisitions made in fiscal 2008 contributed approximately $373 million in sales. The effect of currency rate changes increased net sales by approximately $544 million.

 

13 - 3


During 2009, the worldwide economic downturn resulted in the Company experiencing an unprecedented drop in the demand for its products in virtually all markets of the Industrial and Climate & Industrial Controls Segments. Business conditions in the Aerospace Segment were strong in the earlier part of 2009 but began to soften in the latter part of 2009. For 2010, the Company expects the recessionary-like business conditions experienced in 2009 in the Industrial and Climate & Industrial Controls Segments to continue but the rate of decline is expected to lessen. The Company anticipates business conditions in the commercial aftermarket business of the Aerospace Segment will weaken as passenger air miles continue to decline and airlines reduce flight schedules and capacity.

Gross profit margin was lower in 2009 primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies. Gross margin was higher in 2008 primarily due to a combination of the increase in sales and the effects of the Company’s financial performance initiatives, especially in the Industrial International businesses. Current-year acquisitions, not yet fully integrated, negatively affected the current-year gross margin. Included in gross profit in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were business realignment charges of $40.9 million, $5.3 million and $15.0 million, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 5.4 percent in 2009 and increased 11.2 percent in 2008. The decrease in 2009 was primarily due to the lower sales volume as well as lower expenses related to incentive compensation plans. The increase in 2008 was primarily due to the higher sales volume, current-year acquisitions as well as higher expenses related to professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, were 12.5 percent in 2009, 11.2 percent in 2008 and 11.4 percent in 2007.

Interest expense in 2009 and 2008 increased primarily due to higher average debt outstanding. The increase in borrowings primarily related to the funding of acquisitions and the repurchase of the Company’s common shares.

Other expense (income), net in 2009 included $37.4 million of expense related to litigation settlements, $13.8 million of expense related to investment writedowns and $11.6 million of income related to insurance recoveries. Other expense (income), net in 2008 included $20.0 million of expense related to litigation settlements.

Effective tax rate in 2009 was lower primarily due to a tax benefit associated with a worthless stock deduction for tax reporting purposes related to a foreign subsidiary, higher research and development tax credits and lower taxable income, partially offset by the effect of litigation settlements. The effective tax rate in 2008 remained at the 2007 level primarily due to the increase in foreign tax rate differences being offset by lower research and development tax credits.

Other comprehensive income (loss) included gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded directly into Shareholders’ equity. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Discussion of Business Segment Information

The Business Segment information presents sales, operating income and assets on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s various businesses are managed for internal review and decision-making. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s reportable business segments.

13 - 4


Sales in 2009 for the Industrial North American operations decreased 12.1 percent compared to an increase of 4.6 percent from 2007 to 2008. The decrease in sales in 2009 was primarily due to lower demand experienced from distributors and lower end-user demand experienced in virtually all of the markets of the Industrial North American businesses as customer order levels have declined in response to current economic conditions. Acquisitions completed within the past 12 months contributed approximately $271 million in sales. The increase in sales in 2008 was primarily due to acquisitions as well as higher demand experienced from distributors and higher end-customer demand experienced in the construction equipment, farm and agriculture, oil and gas and general industrial machinery markets, partially offset by lower end-customer demand in the heavy-duty truck, automotive, semiconductor and residential construction markets.

Sales in the Industrial International operations decreased 22.2 percent in 2009 following an increase of 28.3 percent from 2007 to 2008. The sales decline in 2009 was primarily due to lower sales volume across most markets in all regions with the largest decline in volume experienced in Europe. Acquisitions completed within the past 12 months contributed approximately $250 million in sales. The sales increase in 2008 was primarily due to higher volume across most markets, particularly Europe and the Asia Pacific region as well as acquisitions, which accounted for about 20 percent of the increase. Foreign currency rate changes, primarily the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and British Pound, decreased net sales in 2009 by $386 million.

The lower Industrial North American operating margins in 2009 were primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies as well as higher expenses associated with business realignment activities. The lower Industrial North American operating margins in 2008 were primarily due to higher expenses associated with new product development and higher material costs more than offsetting the higher sales volume. Acquisitions, not yet fully integrated, negatively impacted margins in both 2009 and 2008. Included in Industrial North American operating income in 2009, 2008 and 2007 are business realignment charges of $10.4 million, $4.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The business realignment charges resulted from actions the Company took to structure the Industrial North American operations to operate in the current economic environment and primarily consisted of severance costs and costs relating to the consolidation of manufacturing operations.

The lower Industrial International operating margins in 2009 were primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies as well as higher expenses associated with business realignment activities. The Industrial International operating margin improvement in 2008 was primarily due to a combination of the higher sales volume and benefits realized from the Company’s financial performance initiatives. Acquisitions, not fully integrated, negatively impacted margins in 2009 and 2008. Operating income in 2009, 2008 and 2007 included $23.3 million, $0.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of business realignment charges that were taken to appropriately structure operations primarily in Europe.

The Company anticipates Industrial North American sales for 2010 will decrease between 6.7 percent and 11.5 percent from the fiscal 2009 level and Industrial International sales for fiscal 2010 will decrease between 11.7 percent and 16.2 percent from the fiscal 2009 level. The lower sales levels in 2010 are primarily due to continued lower end-user demand expected in most markets. Industrial North American operating margins in 2010 are expected to range from 9.0 percent to 9.4 percent and Industrial International margins are expected to range from 4.0 percent to 4.6 percent. The lower Industrial International operating margin in 2010 primarily results from manufacturing inefficiencies. The Company expects to continue to take actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Industrial Segment. Such actions may include the necessity to record business realignment charges in 2010.

The decrease in total Industrial Segment backlog in 2009 was primarily due to lower order rates in both the North American and International businesses, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific. The increase in backlog in 2008 was primarily due to higher order rates in the Industrial International businesses.

The decrease in assets in 2009 was primarily due to the effect of currency fluctuations as well as decreases in accounts receivable and inventory partially offset by increases in assets from current-year acquisitions. The increase in assets in 2008 was primarily due to current-year acquisitions and the effect of currency fluctuations. The increase in assets in 2008 was also due to increases in cash, accounts receivable and inventory.

Sales in 2009 increased 2.5 percent compared to an increase of 9.0 percent from 2007 to 2008. The increase in sales in 2009 was primarily due to an increase in both commercial and military aftermarket volume as well as an increase in military original equipment manufacturer (OEM) volume. The increase in sales in 2008 was primarily due to an increase in both commercial OEM and aftermarket volume. The sales increase in 2008 was partially offset by lower military aftermarket volume.

The increase in margins in 2009 were primarily due to a higher concentration of sales occurring in the higher margin aftermarket businesses partially offset by higher engineering development costs. The lower margins in 2008 were primarily due to a higher concentration of sales occurring in the lower margin OEM businesses as well as higher engineering development costs and an increase in contract reserves related to certain programs.

The decrease in backlog in 2009 was primarily due to lower order rates in the commercial and military OEM businesses. The increase in backlog in 2008 was primarily due to higher order rates, especially in the commercial OEM businesses. For 2010, sales are expected to decrease between 5.7 percent and 6.6 percent from the fiscal 2009 level primarily due to anticipated lower commercial OEM and aftermarket volume. Operating margins are expected to range from 11.5 percent to 11.7 percent. Further reductions in commercial aftermarket volume in future product mix and higher than expected engineering development costs could result in lower margins.

The decrease in assets in 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable partially offset by an increase in inventory. The increase in assets in 2008 was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventory as well as acquisitions.

Sales in 2009 decreased 24.4 percent compared to a 1.6 percent decrease in sales from 2007 to 2008. The decrease in sales in 2009 and 2008 was primarily due to lower end-user demand in the residential air conditioning, commercial refrigeration, heavy-duty truck and automotive markets. The magnitude of the decline in sales in 2009 reflects the effect of the worldwide economic downturn especially with respect to housing starts and automotive production. The lower margins in 2009 and 2008 were primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies. Margins in 2009 were also adversely affected by business realignment charges of $10.9 million.

The Company anticipates sales in 2010 will decrease between 10.1 percent and 13.1 percent from the fiscal 2009 level primarily due to continued lower end-user demand expected in most markets. Operating margins are expected to range from 2.1 percent to 2.9 percent, reflecting the benefit of past business realignment activities. The Company expects to continue to take actions necessary to structure appropriately the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment operations. Such actions may include the necessity to record business realignment charges in 2010.

 

13 - 6


The decrease in assets in 2009 was primarily due to declines in accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment as well as the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. The decrease in assets in 2008 was primarily due to declines in accounts receivable, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets partially offset by the effect of currency fluctuations.

Corporate assets increased 31.8 percent in 2009 compared to an increase of 15.2 percent from 2007 to 2008. The increase in 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in the LIFO reserve and increases in prepaid expenses and deferred taxes. The increase in 2008 was primarily due to an increase in deferred taxes, cash and property, plant and equipment partially offset by an increase in the LIFO reserve.

Discussion of Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Consolidated Balance Sheet shows the Company’s financial position at year-end, compared with the previous year-end. This statement provides information to assist in assessing factors such as the Company’s liquidity and financial resources.

Accounts receivable are primarily receivables due from customers for sales of product ($1,280 million at June 30, 2009 and $1,821 million at June 30, 2008). Accounts receivable decreased primarily due to the reduced sales volume, especially in the European businesses within the Industrial Segment. Days sales outstanding relating to trade receivables for the Company was 53 days in 2009 compared to 50 days in 2008.

Inventories decreased primarily in the Industrial Segment due to decreased customer demand across almost all markets. In response to declining order rates, especially in the Industrial Segment, the Company is continuing its efforts to adjust inventory levels to a level commensurate with current customer demand. Days supply of inventory on hand was 77 days in 2009 compared to 61 days in 2008.

Goodwill increased primarily as a result of current-year acquisitions. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangible assets, net consist primarily of patents, trademarks and customer lists. Intangible assets, net increased primarily due to current-year acquisitions. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes payable increased primarily due to additional commercial paper borrowings to finance current-year acquisition activity and share repurchases. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounts payable, trade decreased primarily due to reduced purchasing and production levels.

Shareholders’ equity included a decrease of $494.5 million related to foreign currency translation adjustments due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during 2009. The translation adjustments primarily affected Accounts receivable, Inventories, Plant and equipment, Investments and other assets, Goodwill, Intangible assets, Accounts payable, trade and Long-term debt. The change in Shareholders’ equity is explained further in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Discussion of Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows reflects cash inflows and outflows from the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities.

A summary of cash flows follows:

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents

   $ (138   $ 153      $ 1   
                        

Cash Flows From Operating Activities decreased from 2008 primarily due to lower Net Income partially offset by an increase in cash provided from working capital. Cash flows provided from working capital increased due to lower inventory and accounts receivable levels offset by a decrease in accounts payable. In addition, the Company settled payments from a current-year acquisition after the acquisition closing date resulting in an increase in cash used by Other accrued liabilities.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities decreased primarily due to a lower level of acquisition activity as compared with 2008. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of net assets of acquired companies. Also, cash used for capital expenditures decreased slightly from 2008 as near-term economic uncertainties resulted in the Company reducing the level of capital expenditures in the latter part of fiscal 2009.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities primarily consists of proceeds from commercial paper borrowings, dividend payments and share repurchases. In 2009, additional commercial paper borrowings were used primarily to finance acquisition activity and share repurchases. Although the Company repurchased a comparable number of its common shares as in 2008, the average price per share was lower in 2009 resulting in less cash required to complete the repurchases.

Dividends have been paid for 236 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 53 fiscal years. The current annual dividend rate is $1.00 per share.

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 one means of achieving this objective, the Company has established a financial goal of maintaining a ratio of debt to debt-equity of no more than 37 percent.

 

Debt to Debt-Equity Ratio (dollars in millions)

Ratio

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has a line of credit totaling $1,500 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. The credit agreement expires September 2012; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis. A portion of 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 Ratings. These ratings are considered investment grade. The revolving credit agreement requires a facility fee of 4.5/100ths of one percent of the commitment per annum at the Company’s present rating level and 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.

 

13 - 8


The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. 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 June 30, 2009, the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets was less than two percent. The Company is in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the credit agreements and indentures.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are its cash flows provided from operating activities and borrowings either from or directly supported by its line of credit. Current events in the credit markets have adversely impacted the lending ability of many financial institutions thereby restricting the availability of credit to many companies; however, the Company’s ability to borrow has not been affected by the lack of credit availability and the Company does not foresee any impediments to borrow funds at affordable interest rates in the near future. While the economic outlook for the near future remains uncertain, the Company’s ability to generate cash from its operations and ability to borrow directly from its line of credit or sources directly supported by its line of credit should be sufficient to support working capital needs, planned growth, benefit plan funding, dividend payments and share repurchases.

Contractual Obligations –The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $142.1 million at June 30, 2009. Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with worldwide taxing authorities. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing of the settlements, FIN 48 obligations are not included in the following summary of the Company’s fixed contractual obligations. References to Notes are to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts, comprised of puts and calls, to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in both freely convertible and non-freely convertible foreign currencies. These contracts are with major financial institutions and the risk of loss is considered remote. None of these contracts were designated as hedging instruments. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The contracts are recognized on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The gain or loss on the adjustment to fair value is reported in Net income. The total fair value and carrying amount 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.

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. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt by approximately $8.0 million.

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 policies discussed below are considered by management to be more critical than other policies because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment.

Revenue Recognition – Substantially all of the Industrial Segment and Climate & Industrial Controls Segment revenues are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product have transferred to the customer. This generally takes place at the time the product is shipped. The Aerospace Segment uses the percentage of completion, units of delivery method to recognize a portion of its revenue. The percentage of completion method requires the use of estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts and for some contracts includes estimating costs related to aftermarket orders. The estimation of these costs requires substantial judgment on the part of management due to the duration of the contracts as well as the technical nature of the products involved. Adjustments to estimated costs are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve is established when the costs to complete a contract exceed the contract revenues.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill is tested for impairment, at the reporting unit level, on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. For the Company, a reporting unit is one level below the operating segment level. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective reporting unit, which the Company has consistently estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The Company believes that the use of a discounted cash flow model results in the most accurate calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value since the market value for a reporting unit is not readily available. The discounted cash flow analysis requires several assumptions including future sales growth and operating margin levels as well as assumptions regarding future industry specific market conditions. Each reporting unit regularly prepares discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses. The Company has consistently used a discount rate commensurate with its cost of capital, adjusted for inherent business risks and has consistently used a terminal growth factor of 2.5 percent. The Company also reconciles the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units as derived from the discounted cash flow analyses to the Company’s overall market capitalization. The Company continually monitors its reporting units for impairment indicators and updates assumptions used in the most recent calculation of the fair value of a reporting unit as appropriate. Long-lived assets held for use are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use and eventual disposition are less than their carrying value. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of its cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration technological advances known at the time of the impairment test.

Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out basis for a majority of U.S. inventories and on the first-in, first-out basis for the balance of the Company’s inventories. Inventories have been reduced by an allowance for obsolete inventories. The estimated allowance is based on management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. Changes in the allowance have not had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

13 - 10


Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions – The annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations related to the Company’s defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. This determination requires critical assumptions regarding the discount rate, long-term return on plan assets, increases in compensation levels, amortization periods for actuarial gains and losses and health care cost trends. Assumptions are determined based on Company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated each year as of the plan’s measurement date. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience as well as the amortization of actuarial gains and losses could result in a material change in the annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations reported in the financial statements. For the Company’s domestic defined benefit plans, a one-half percentage point change in the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated to have an $8 million effect on pension expense and a one-half percentage point decrease in the discount rate is estimated to increase pension expense by $13 million. As of June 30, 2009, $527 million of past years’ net actuarial losses related to the Company’s domestic qualified defined benefit plans are subject to amortization in the future. These losses will generally be amortized over approximately 10 years and will negatively affect earnings in the future. Actuarial gains experienced in future years will help reduce the effect of the actuarial loss amortization.

Further information on pensions and postretirement benefits other than pensions is provided in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 materially 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 and may result in a material change to the fair value calculation of stock-based awards. Further information on stock-based compensation is provided in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes – Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s income tax expense and in evaluating tax positions. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been recorded for the differences between the financial accounting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Factors considered by the Company in the determination of the probability of realization of deferred income tax assets include forecasted operating earnings, available tax planning strategies and the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse. The Company reviews its tax positions on a regular basis and adjusts the balances as new information becomes available. Further information on income taxes is provided in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Loss Reserves – The Company has a number of loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business such as environmental claims, product liability, litigation and accounts receivable reserves. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires management’s estimate and judgment with regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization. These loss reserves are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (Statement No. 141R). Statement No. 141R changes the accounting for business combinations both during the period of acquisition and in subsequent periods. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. Statement No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Generally, the effect of Statement No. 141R on the Company’s financial position and results of operations will depend on future acquisitions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB 51.” Statement No. 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Statement No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of FASB Statement No. 160 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” FSP 132(R)-1 requires detailed disclosures regarding the investment strategies, fair value measurements, and concentrations of risk of plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that FSP 132(R)-1 will have on the Company’s retirement benefits disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP 107-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reports as well as annual reports. The Company will comply with the required disclosures beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009 and does not believe the adoption of FSP 107-1 will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial instrument disclosures.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

Nature of Operations - The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating income before Corporate general and administrative expenses, Interest expense and Income taxes.

The Company operates in three business segments: Industrial, Aerospace and Climate & Industrial Controls. The Industrial Segment is an aggregation of several business units, which manufacture motion-control and fluid power system components for builders and users of various types of manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, agricultural, construction, and military vehicles and equipment. Industrial Segment products are marketed primarily through field sales employees and independent distributors. The Industrial North American operations have manufacturing plants and distribution networks throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico and primarily services North America. The Industrial International operations provide Parker products and services to 45 countries throughout Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

The Aerospace Segment produces hydraulic, fuel and pneumatic and electro-mechanical systems and components, which are utilized on virtually every domestic commercial, military and general aviation aircraft and also performs a vital role in naval vessels and land-based weapons systems. This Segment serves original equipment and maintenance, repair and overhaul customers worldwide. Aerospace Segment products are marketed by field sales employees and are sold directly to manufacturers and end users.

The Climate & Industrial Controls Segment manufactures motion-control systems and components for use primarily in the refrigeration and air conditioning and transportation industries. The products in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment are marketed primarily through field sales employees and independent distributors.

See the table of Business Segment Information “By Industry” and “By Geographic Area” on pages 13-14 and 13-15 for further disclosure of business segment information.

There are no individual customers to whom sales are three percent or more of the Company’s consolidated sales. Due to the diverse group of customers throughout the world the Company does not consider itself exposed to any concentration of credit risks.

The Company manufactures and markets its products throughout the world. Although certain risks and uncertainties exist, the diversity and breadth of the Company’s products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes with respect to any particular product and geographic operation would materially affect the Company’s operating results.

Use of Estimates - 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements. Within the Business Segment Information, intersegment and interarea sales have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product have transferred to the customer. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in Net sales and the related costs in Cost of sales.

Long-term Contracts - The Company enters into long-term contracts primarily for the production of aerospace products. For financial statement purposes, revenues are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. The extent of progress toward completion is primarily measured using the units-of-delivery method. Unbilled costs on these contracts are included in inventory. Progress payments are netted against the inventory balances. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

 

13 - 18


Cash - Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments, with a three-month or less maturity, carried at cost plus accrued interest, which are readily convertible into cash.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The majority of domestic inventories are valued by the last-in, first-out method and the balance of the Company’s inventories are valued by the first-in, first-out method.

Plant, Equipment and Depreciation - Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated principally using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Depreciation rates are based on estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements and building equipment, seven to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and three to eight years for vehicles and office equipment. Improvements, which extend the useful life of property, are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed. The Company reviews plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. When plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts and any gain or loss is included in current income.

Investments and Other Assets - Investments in joint-venture companies in which ownership is 50% or less and in which the Company does not have operating control are stated at cost plus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings. These investments and the related earnings are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill - The Company conducts a formal impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets primarily include patents, trademarks and customer lists and are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line method. Patents are amortized over the shorter of their remaining useful or legal life. Trademarks are amortized over the estimated time period over which an economic benefit is expected to be received. Customer lists are amortized over a period based on historical customer attrition rates.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided based upon income for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax purposes. Tax credits and similar tax incentives are applied to reduce the provision for income taxes in the year in which the credits arise. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized in income tax expense. Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase of $29,904 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for by a decrease of $23,801 to the July 1, 2007 balance of Retained earnings and an increase of $6,103 to deferred tax assets, which is included in the Other assets caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Product Warranty - In the ordinary course of business the Company warrants its products against defect in design, materials and workmanship over various time periods. The warranty accrual at June 30, 2009 and 2008 is immaterial to the financial position of the Company and the change in the accrual during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was immaterial to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

Foreign Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities of most foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, and income and expenses are translated using weighted-average exchange rates. The effects of these translation adjustments, as well as gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions, are reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income component of Shareholders’ equity. Such adjustments will affect Net income only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign investments, which is not contemplated at this time. Exchange gains and losses from transactions in a currency other than the local currency of the entity involved, and translation adjustments in countries with highly inflationary economies, are included in Net income.

 

13 - 19


Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments as well as obligations under notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for Cash and cash equivalents, Investments and other assets and Notes payable approximate fair value. See Note 9 for fair value of long-term debt.

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts (forward contracts) and costless collar contracts, comprised of puts and calls, to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in both freely convertible and non-freely convertible 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.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through Net income. Gains or losses on derivatives that hedge specific transactions are recognized in Net income or recognized in Other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. See Note 15 for disclosure of fair value of derivative financial instruments.

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 forward exchange and costless collar contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of the arrangements described above is not material.

Subsequent Events - The Company has adopted FASB Statement No. 165 as of June 30, 2009, and has evaluated for disclosure subsequent events that have occurred up to August 27, 2009, the date of filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (Statement No. 141R). Statement No. 141R changes the accounting for business combinations both during the period of acquisition and in subsequent periods. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. Statement No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Generally, the effect of Statement No. 141R on the Company’s financial position or results of operations will depend on future acquisitions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB 51.” Statement No. 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Statement No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of Statement No. 160 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” FSP 132(R)-1 requires detailed disclosures regarding the investment strategies, fair value measurements, and concentrations of risk of plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that FSP 132(R)-1 will have on the Company’s retirement benefits disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP 107-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reports as well as annual reports. The Company will comply with the required disclosures beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009 and does not believe the adoption of FSP 107-1 will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial instrument disclosures.

Reclassifications and Revisions - Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.

     2009     2008  

Postretirement benefits

   $ 491,655      $ 258,550

Provision for deferred tax

   $ 13,048      $ 33,933   

Items of other comprehensive income

     263,565        66,956   

Acquisitions and other

     (122,539     (84,435
                

Total change in net deferred tax

   $ 154,074      $ 16,454   
                

At June 30, 2009, the Company had recorded deferred tax assets of $135,901 resulting from $545,950 in loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of realizing certain loss carryforwards, a foreign capital loss carryforward, and certain deferred tax assets associated with other liabilities and reserves. The foreign capital loss carryforward and some of the loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely; others can be carried forward from one to 19 years. The increase in loss carryforwards and the valuation allowance in 2009 were primarily due to an increase in losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. No material valuation allowance was recorded during the year attributable to various acquisitions. Upon the adoption of Statement No. 141R, changes in the valuation allowance attributable to acquisitions will affect income tax expense including those associated with acquisitions that closed prior to July 1, 2009.

Provision has not been made for additional U.S. or foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of certain international operations as those earnings will continue to be reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the additional taxes, including applicable foreign withholding taxes, that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings.

Accumulated undistributed earnings of foreign operations reinvested in their operations amounted to $1,298,102, $1,435,394 and $948,867, at June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective rate was $114,210 and $76,868 as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $9,179 and $9,748 as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is no longer subject to examinations of its federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for fiscal years through 2001 as well as 2004 and 2005. All significant state and local and foreign tax returns have been examined for fiscal years through 2001. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the IRS examination for fiscal years 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2007 will be settled. The Company anticipates that within the next 12 months the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to income inclusion items, loss deductions and loss carryforwards may be reduced by an amount up to $55 million due to the settlement of examinations and the expiration of statutes of limitation.

 

5. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share have been computed according to FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the year. Common share equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based awards.

 

13 - 24


The computation of net income per share was as follows:

 

     2009    2008    2007

Numerator:

        

Net income applicable to common shares

   $ 508,515    $ 949,466    $ 830,046

Denominator:

        

Basic – weighted-average common shares

     161,564,111      168,285,487      174,643,327

Increase in weighted-average from dilutive effect of exercise of stock-based awards

     1,155,037      3,358,348      2,851,563
                    

Diluted – weighted-average common shares, assuming exercise of stock-based awards

     162,719,148      171,643,835      177,494,890
                    

Basic earnings per share

   $ 3.15    $ 5.64    $ 4.75

Diluted earnings per share

   $ 3.13    $ 5.53    $ 4.68

For 2009, 2008 and 2007, 6.4 million, 1.1 million, and 2.5 million common shares, respectively, subject to stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

 

6. Inventories

Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method were approximately 28 percent and 29 percent, respectively, of total inventories in 2009 and 2008. The current cost of these inventories exceeds their valuation determined on the LIFO basis by $204,294 in 2009 and $216,794 in 2008. During 2009, inventory reductions resulted in a pre-tax LIFO liquidation gain of $12,500. Progress payments of $57,704 in 2009 and $34,809 in 2008 are netted against inventories.

 

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company conducts an annual impairment test as required by FASB Statement No. 142. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which for the Company, is one level below the operating segment level. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The discounted cash flow analysis requires several assumptions including future sales growth and operating margin levels as well as assumptions regarding future industry specific market conditions. Each of the Company’s reporting units prepare discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses. The annual impairment tests performed in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 resulted in no impairment loss being recognized.

“Goodwill adjustments” primarily represent adjustments to the purchase price allocation during the twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition date and primarily involves the valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Some of the 2009 purchase price allocations are preliminary and may require subsequent adjustment.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful life. The following summarizes the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible asset:

8. Financing Arrangements

The Company has a line of credit totaling $1,500,000 through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $1,071,566 was available at June 30, 2009. The credit agreement expires in September 2012, however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. A portion of the credit agreement supports the Company’s commercial paper note program. The interest on borrowings is based upon the terms of each specific borrowing and is subject to market conditions. The revolving credit agreement requires a facility fee of up to 4.5/100ths 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 is currently authorized to sell up to $1,370,000 of short-term commercial paper notes, rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s and F-1 by Fitch Ratings. These ratings are considered investment grade. Commercial paper notes outstanding were $354,500 at June 30, 2009. There were no commercial paper notes outstanding at June 30, 2008.

The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the agreement for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. At the Company’s present rating level, the most restrictive covenant provides that the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets be less than 10 percent. As of June 30, 2009, the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets was less than two percent. The Company is in compliance with all covenants.

Notes payable is comprised of short-term lines of credit and borrowings from foreign banks. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $172,752 in lines of credit from various foreign banks, of which $169,686 was available. Most of these agreements are renewed annually. The balance and weighted-average interest rate of the Notes payable at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $431,044 and 1.5 percent and $95,112 and 4.7 percent, respectively.

Principal amounts of Long-term debt payable in the five years ending June 30, 2010 through 2014 are $50,423, $381,537, $62,755, $232,157 and $214, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s Long-term debt (excluding leases) was $1,889,844 and $1,975,590 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and was estimated to have a fair value of $1,899,246 and $1,937,995, at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fair value of the Long-term debt was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At the Company’s present rating level, some of the debt agreements include a limitation on the Company’s ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets.

ESOP Loan Guarantee - In 1999, the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was leveraged when the ESOP Trust borrowed $112,000 and used the proceeds to purchase 4,583,120 shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company’s treasury. The loan was unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and therefore the unpaid balance of the borrowing was reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Long-term debt. A corresponding amount representing Unearned compensation was recorded as a deduction from Shareholders’ equity. The ESOP Trust repaid the loan in 2009 so the borrowing was removed from Long-term debt.

Lease Commitments - Future minimum rental commitments as of June 30, 2009, under non-cancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates, are as follows: 2010-$82,164; 2011-$60,394; 2012-$40,378; 2013-$26,733; 2014-$19,984 and after 2014-$86,087.

Rental expense in 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $125,516, $106,135 and $86,999, respectively.

 

10. Retirement Benefits

Pensions - The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Plans for most salaried employees provide pay-related benefits based on years of service. Plans for hourly employees generally provide benefits based on flat-dollar amounts and years of service. The Company also has arrangements for certain key employees which provide for supplemental retirement benefits. In general, the Company’s policy is to fund these plans based on legal requirements, tax considerations, local practices and investment opportunities. The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans and participates in government-sponsored programs in certain foreign countries.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” Statement No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Statement No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The funded status recognition provision was adopted by the Company as of June 30, 2007 resulting in a decrease to Shareholders’ equity of $259,166 in 2007. Prior to the adoption of Statement No. 158, accounting rules required that the Company recognize a liability if the accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of plan assets. The net of tax effect of recording the minimum liability on Shareholders’ equity was an increase of $221,546 in 2007. The measurement date provision of Statement No. 158 was adopted by the Company as of July 1, 2008 resulting in a decrease to Shareholders’ equity of $2,106 in 2009.

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income is on a debit (credit) basis and excludes the effect of income taxes.

The estimated amount of net actuarial loss, prior service cost and transition asset that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into net periodic benefit pension cost in 2010 is $71,789, $12,639 and $51, respectively.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $2,699,942 and $2,471,932 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $2,911,759, $2,666,229 and $1,767,765, respectively, at June 30, 2009, and $498,209, $433,578 and $273,849, respectively, at June 30, 2008.

 

13 - 29


The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $63 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2010, the majority of which relate to non-U.S. defined benefit plans. Estimated future benefit payments in the five years ending June 30, 2010 through 2014 are $131,556, $152,252, $152,481, $192,023 and $162,045, respectively and $1,000,686 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2019.

The assumptions used to measure net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s significant defined benefit plans are:

 

     2009     2008     2007  

U.S. defined benefit plans

      

Discount rate

   6.8   6.3   6.0

Average increase in compensation

   4.7   4.7   4.7

Expected return on plan assets

   8.5   8.5   8.75

Non-U.S. defined benefit plans

      

Discount rate

   2.25 to 6.9   2.25 to 6.3   2.25 to 6.0

Average increase in compensation

   1.0 to 4.5   1.0 to 4.25   1.0 to 4.25

Expected return on plan assets

   1.0 to 8.0   1.0 to 7.75   1.0 to 7.75

The assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation for the Company’s significant defined benefit plans are:

 

     2009     2008  

U.S. defined benefit plans

    

Discount rate

   6.25   6.8

Average increase in compensation

   0 to 3.5   4.7

Non-U.S. defined benefit plans

    

Discount rate

   2.0 to 6.78   2.25 to 6.9

Average increase in compensation

   2.0 to 4.7   1.0 to 4.5

The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds over the same estimated time period that benefit payments will be required to be made. The expected return on plan assets assumption is based on the weighted-average expected return of the various asset classes in the plans’ portfolio. The asset class return is developed using historical asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market performance.

The weighted-average allocation of the majority of the assets related to defined benefit plans is as follows:

 

     2009     2008  

Equity securities

   60   62

Debt securities

   32   32

Other

   8   6
            
   100   100
            

The investment strategy for the defined benefit pension plan assets focuses on achieving prudent actuarial funding ratios while maintaining acceptable levels of risk. This strategy requires an investment portfolio that is broadly diversified across various asset classes and investment managers. The current weighted-average target asset allocation is 62 percent equity securities, 33 percent debt securities and 5 percent other. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the plans’ assets included Company stock with market values of $53,717 and $89,307, respectively.

Employee Savings Plan - The Company sponsors an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as part of its existing savings and investment 401(k) plan. The ESOP is available to eligible domestic employees. Parker Hannifin common stock is used to match contributions made by employees to the ESOP up to a maximum of 4.0 percent of an employee’s annual compensation. A breakdown of shares held by the ESOP is as follows:

In 1999, the ESOP was leveraged and the loan was unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Company’s matching contribution and dividends on the shares held by the ESOP were used to repay the loan, and shares were released from the suspense account as the principal and interest are paid. The unreleased portion of the shares in the ESOP suspense account were not considered outstanding for purposes of earnings per share computations. The ESOP Trust repaid the loan in 2009 so there are no suspense shares remaining at June 30, 2009. Company contributions to the ESOP, recorded as compensation and interest expense, were $51,593 in 2009, $53,019 in 2008 and $51,647 in 2007. Dividends earned by the suspense shares and interest income within the ESOP totaled $162 in 2009, $796 in 2008 and $1,031 in 2007. In 2009, in lieu of cash, the Company issued 49,422 of its common shares out of treasury for the matching contribution.

The Company has a retirement income account (RIA) within the employee savings plan. The Company makes a contribution to the participant’s RIA account each year, the amount of which is based on the participant’s age and years of service. Participants do not contribute to the RIA. The Company recognized $14,489, $10,826 and $9,145 in expense related to the RIA in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In addition to shares within the ESOP, as of June 30, 2009, employees have elected to invest in 4,080,864 shares of common stock within the Company Stock Fund of the Parker Retirement Savings Plan.

Other Postretirement Benefits - The Company provides postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to certain retirees and eligible dependents. Most plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The plans are unfunded and pay stated percentages of covered medically necessary expenses incurred by retirees, after subtracting payments by Medicare or other providers and after stated deductibles have been met. For most plans, the Company has established cost maximums to more effectively control future medical costs. The Company has reserved the right to change or eliminate these benefit plans.

Certain employees are covered under benefit provisions that include prescription drug coverage for Medicare eligible retirees. The impact of the subsidy received under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 on the Company’s other postretirement benefits was immaterial.

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income is on a debit (credit) basis and is before the effect of income taxes. The amount of prior service (credit) and net actuarial (gain) loss that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into net periodic postretirement cost in 2010 is $450 and $245, respectively.

Historically, the Company has provided self-insured retiree medical plan benefits for non-union employees upon their retirement. The retiree was responsible for paying the premiums for the medical coverage but the Company paid the costs of administering the plans (i.e., claims processing costs). Absorbing the administration costs was considered a benefit under FASB Statement No. 106 as the employees who elected to enroll in the retiree medical plans paid a lower premium since the Company was paying the costs to administer the plan. In 2009, the Company discontinued its self-insured retiree medical plans for non-union employees and has therefore eliminated the cost associated with administering the plans. The Company recognized $22.4 million in income in 2009 as a result of eliminating the liability related to this benefit.

The assumptions used to measure the net periodic benefit cost for postretirement benefit obligations are:

 

     2009     2008     2007  

Discount rate

   6.71   6.23   6.0

Current medical cost trend rate

   9.25   9.7   10.2

Ultimate medical cost trend rate

   5.0   5.0   5.0

Medical cost trend rate decreases to ultimate in year

   2014      2014      2014   

The discount rate assumption used to measure the benefit obligation was 6.1 percent in 2009 and 6.71 percent in 2008.

Estimated future benefit payments for other postretirement benefits in the five years ending June 30, 2010 through 2014 are $5,336, $5,252, $5,276, $5,200 and $5,161, respectively, and $27,368 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2019.

A one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Other - The Company has established nonqualified deferred compensation programs, which permit officers, directors and certain management employees annually to elect to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pre-tax basis, until their retirement. The retirement benefit to be provided is based on the amount of compensation deferred, Company match, and earnings on the deferrals. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded (income) expense relating to deferred compensation of $(27,167), $8,785 and $35,308, respectively.

The Company has invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies to assist in meeting the obligation under these programs. The policies are held in a rabbi trust and are recorded as assets of the Company.

Share Repurchases - The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase an amount of common shares each fiscal year equal to the greater of 7.5 million shares or five percent of the shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal year. Repurchases are funded primarily from operating cash flows, and the shares are initially held as treasury stock. During 2009, the Company repurchased 7,557,284 shares of its common stock at an average price of $59.25 per share.

In August 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the accelerated purchase of $500 million of the Company’s common shares. This authorization is in addition to the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. Under the accelerated repurchase program, the Company repurchased a total of 6,629,981 shares at an average purchase price of $75.48 per share.

 

12. Stock Incentive Plans

Stock-Based Awards - The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the granting of nonqualified options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) to officers and key employees of the Company. The nonqualified options allow the recipient to purchase shares of common stock at a price not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the date the stock-based awards are granted. Upon exercise, SARs entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock equal to the increase in value of the award between the grant date and the exercise date. Outstanding options and SARs are exercisable from one to three years after the date of grant and expire no more than 10 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 Note 11, or through the issuance of previously unissued common shares.

During 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $41,488, $44,947 and $33,203, respectively. The Company derives a tax deduction measured by the excess of the market value over the grant price at the date stock-based awards are exercised. The related tax benefit is credited to Additional capital as the Company is currently in a windfall tax benefit position.

The fair value of each stock-based award granted in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     2009     2008     2007  

Risk-free interest rate

     3.2     4.4     4.7

Expected life of award

     4.9 yrs        5.2 yrs        5.1 yrs   

Expected dividend yield of stock

     1.3     1.4     1.5

Expected volatility of stock

     26.6     25.6     30.2

Weighted-average fair value

   $ 16.56      $ 16.61      $ 15.50   

The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term similar to the expected life of the award. The expected life of the award was derived by referring to actual exercise and post-vesting employment termination experience. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s historical dividend rate and stock price over a period similar to the expected life of the award. The expected volatility of stock was derived by referring to changes in the Company’s historical common stock prices over a timeframe similar to the expected life of the award.

Shares surrendered upon exercise of stock options: 2009 – 90,129; 2008 – 732,920; 2007 – 1,192,791.

Restricted Stock - Restricted stock was issued under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Program to certain key employees under the Company’s 2006-07-08, 2005-06-07 and 2004-05-06 Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP). Value of the payments was set at the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. Shares were earned and awarded, and an estimated value was accrued, based upon attainment of criteria specified in the LTIP over the cumulative years of each three-year Plan. Plan participants are entitled to cash dividends and to vote their respective shares, but the shares are restricted as to transferability for three years following issuance.

Under the Company’s 2007-08-09 LTIP a payout of shares of restricted stock from the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Program will be issued to certain key employees in August 2009. The balance of the 2007-08-09 LTIP payout will be made as deferred cash compensation (if elected by the participant) or in cash. The total payout, valued at $3,287, has been accrued over the three years of the plan. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded (income) expense relating to the LTIP of $(5,562), $25,681 and $37,205, respectively. The decrease in expense is primarily attributable to the impact the economic downturn has had on the Company’s financial performance and stock price during 2009.

Shares surrendered in connection with the LTIP: 2009 – 60,247; 2008 – 109,642; 2007 – 23,427.

In 2009, 2008 and 2007, 12,150, 14,850 and 13,500 shares, respectively, of restricted stock were issued to certain non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Transferability of these shares is restricted for one to three years following issuance. In addition, non-employee members of the Board of Directors have been given the opportunity to receive all or a portion of their fees in the form of restricted stock. These shares vest ratably, on an annual basis, over the term of office of the director. In 2009, 2008 and 2007, 3,868, 2,526 and 14,495 shares, respectively, were issued in lieu of directors’ fees.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately 20 million common shares reserved for issuance in connection with its stock incentive plans.

13. Shareholders’ Protection Rights Agreement

On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one Shareholders’ Right for each common share outstanding on February 17, 2007 in relation to the Company’s Shareholders Protection Rights Agreement. As of June 30, 2009, 160,488,591 common shares were reserved for issuance under this Agreement. Under certain conditions involving acquisition of, or an offer for, 15 percent or more of the Company’s common shares, all holders of Shareholders’ Rights would be entitled to purchase one common share at an exercise price currently set at $160. In addition, in certain circumstances, all holders of Shareholders’ Rights (other than the acquiring entity) would be entitled to purchase a number of common shares equal to twice the exercise price, or at the option of the Board, to exchange each Shareholders’ Right for one common share. The Shareholders’ Rights remain in existence until February 17, 2017, unless extended by the Board of Directors or earlier redeemed (at one cent per Shareholders’ Right), exercised or exchanged under the terms of the agreement. In the event of an unfriendly business combination attempt, the Shareholders’ Rights will cause substantial dilution to the person attempting the business combination. The Shareholders’ Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination that is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders since the Shareholders’ Rights may be redeemed.

 

14. Research and Development

Research and development costs amounted to $338,908 in 2009, $303,098 in 2008 and $253,091 in 2007. These amounts include both costs incurred by the Company related to independent research and development initiatives as well as costs incurred in connection with research and development contracts. Costs incurred in connection with research and development contracts amounted to $50,739 in 2009, $47,757 in 2008 and $40,894 in 2007. These costs are included in the total research and development cost for each of the respective years.

 

15. Fair Value Measurements

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement No. 157 indicates that, among other things, a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. FASB Staff Position 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of Statement No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The adoption of Statement No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

A summary of financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009 follows:

Available for sale securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. The fair value of derivatives is calculated through a model that utilizes market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies.

The Company has established nonqualified deferred compensation programs which permit officers, directors and certain management employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pre-tax basis, until their termination of employment. Changes in the value of the compensation deferred under these programs are recognized based on the fair value of the participants accounts based on their investment elections.

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” Statement No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect to measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value that were otherwise not required to be measured at fair value under other accounting standards.

 

16. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings based on product liability claims, workers’ compensation claims and alleged violations of various environmental laws. The Company is self-insured in the United States for health care, workers’ compensation, general liability and product liability up to predetermined amounts, above which third party insurance applies. Management regularly reviews the probable outcome of these proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage, and the established accruals for liabilities. While the outcome of pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Parker ITR S.r.l. (Parker ITR), a subsidiary acquired on January 31, 2002, has been the subject of a number of lawsuits and regulatory investigations. Each of these lawsuits is described below. The Company has made all required payments and as of June 30, 2009 has a reserve of $2.8 million for future losses relating to these matters. Legal expenses related to these matters are being expensed as incurred.

On April 27, 2007, a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida issued a subpoena to Parker ITR and the Company requiring the production of documents, in particular documents related to communications with competitors and customers related to Parker ITR’s business unit that manufactures marine hose, typically used in oil transfer. The lawsuits and investigations relate to allegations that for a period of up to 21 years, the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose conspired with competitors in unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States and in other jurisdictions.

On May 15, 2007, the European Commission issued its initial Request for Information to the Company and Parker ITR. On August 2, 2007, the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) requested that Parker ITR submit a report to the JFTC on specific topics related to its investigation of marine hose suppliers. Brazilian competition authorities and Korean competition authorities commenced their investigations on November 14, 2007 and January 17, 2008, respectively. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) filed a statement of claim in the Federal Court of Australia on May 29, 2009 and named Parker ITR as a respondent. Parker ITR and the Company have cooperated with all of the regulatory authorities investigating the activities of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose and continue to cooperate with the investigations that remain ongoing.

In addition, during this time period, four class action lawsuits were filed in the Southern District of Florida: Shipyard Supply LLC v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed May 17, 2007; Expro Gulf Limited v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed June 6, 2007; Bayside Rubber & Products, Inc. v. Trelleborg Industrie S.A., et al., filed June 25, 2007; Bayside Rubber & Products, Inc. v. Caleca, et al., filed July 12, 2007; and one in the Southern District of New York: Weeks Marine, Inc. v. Bridgestone Corporation, et al., filed July 27, 2007. On September 12, 2008, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated class action complaint. Plaintiffs have since filed another amended consolidated complaint naming prior owners of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose. Plaintiffs generally seek treble damages, a permanent injunction, attorneys’ fees, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.

The time period for the alleged illegal activities by Parker ITR’s marine hose business unit varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, the Department of Justice, which initiated the April 2007 grand jury subpoenas, alleges that the challenged activities commenced in the United States in 1999 and ended May 2, 2007. The Department of Justice’s investigation is ongoing and the Company and Parker ITR continue to cooperate.

 

13 - 38


In Brazil, Parker ITR filed a procedural defense in January 2008. The Brazilian competition authorities have not yet responded to Parker ITR’s filing. The Brazilian competition authorities’ investigation is ongoing and the Company and Parker ITR continue to cooperate. The Brazilian authorities appear to be investigating the period from 1999 through May 2007. Because the Brazilian competition authorities have not yet responded to Parker ITR’s initial filing, the potential outcome of this investigation is uncertain and will depend on the resolution of numerous issues not yet addressed at the current preliminary stage of the investigation.

In Korea, the Korean Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) submitted several questionnaires to Parker ITR in connection with their investigation of Parker ITR’s marine hose bidding activities in Korea from 1999 to May 2, 2007. Parker ITR responded to each questionnaire and continues to cooperate with the KFTC. The KFTC issued its final report on July 2, 2009, which imposed a fine of KRW 42 million (approximately USD 34 thousand) on Parker ITR. Parker ITR must pay the fine on or before September 8, 2009.

The JTFC completed its investigation and issued an administrative order requiring Parker ITR to take certain actions, including passing a board resolution that prohibited the challenged conduct in the future and to send letters to Parker ITR’s customers and competitors in Japan stating that Parker ITR would not engage in the challenged conduct in Japan in the future. Parker ITR has complied with the JFTC administrative order.

On January 28, 2009, the European Commission announced the results of its investigation of the alleged cartel activities. As part of its decision, the European Commission found that Parker ITR infringed Article 81 of the European Commission treaty from April 1986 to May 2, 2007 and fined Parker ITR 25.61 million euros. The European Commission also determined that the Company was jointly and severally responsible for 8.32 million euros of the total fine which related to the period from January 2002, when the Company acquired Parker ITR, to May 2, 2007, when the cartel activities ceased. Parker ITR and the Company filed an appeal to the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on April 10, 2009.

Counsel for Parker ITR accepted service related to the ACCC’s statement of claim. A hearing was held on the matter on July 7, 2009. The matter was continued until certain other respondents are served. The ACCC appears to be investigating conduct for the period beginning as early as 1994 through 2007.

The Company and Parker ITR have reached a settlement of the class action litigation in the United States, which is subject to court approval. On February 17, 2009, Parker ITR entered into a separate agreement to settle possible private causes of action outside the United States.

Environmental - The Company is currently responsible for environmental remediation at various manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other companies, at off-site waste disposal facilities and regional sites.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has a reserve of $13,891 for environmental matters, which are probable and reasonably estimable. This reserve is recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties. This reserve is net of $2,341 for discounting, primarily at a 4.5 percent discount rate, a portion of the costs to operate and maintain remediation treatment systems as well as gauge treatment system effectiveness through monitoring and sampling over periods up to 15 years.

The Company’s estimated total liability for the above mentioned sites ranges from a minimum of $13.9 million to a maximum of $74.2 million. The largest range for any one site is approximately $8.6 million. The actual costs to be incurred by the Company will be dependent on final determination of remedial action required, negotiations with federal and state agencies, changes in regulatory requirements and technology innovation, the effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ability of other responsible parties to pay, and any insurance or third party recoveries.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. We have excluded six entities from our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 because the entities were acquired in purchase business combinations during the year ended June 30, 2009. On a combined basis, the entities represent approximately 9.7 percent of total assets and 2.2 percent of total revenues as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework.” We concluded that based on our assessment, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2009.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Parker Hannifin Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Parker Hannifin Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(1). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded six entities from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, because they were acquired in purchase business combinations during the year ended June 30, 2009. On a combined basis, the entities represent approximately 9.7 percent of total assets and 2.2 percent of revenues of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009. Accordingly, our audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, did not include the internal control over financial reporting of these six entities.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parker Hannifin Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years in the period ended June 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such fiscal 2009 and 2008 financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic fiscal 2009 and 2008 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, as of July 1, 2007.
