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 and certain mobile construction markets.

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 indicates the opposite. The PMI for the United States at the end of fiscal 2010 was 56.2, the PMI for the Eurozone countries was 55.6 at the end of fiscal 2010 and the PMI for China was 50.4 at the end of fiscal 2010. The PMI for the United States and the Eurozone countries have both sequentially increased during fiscal 2010 and the PMI for China has remained above 50 throughout fiscal 2010.

With respect to the aerospace market, the latest available information the Company has indicates that airlines are reducing capacity, resulting in a decline in average available seat miles of approximately two percent from the comparable fiscal 2009 level. Revenue passenger miles have increased approximately two percent from the comparable fiscal 2009 levels with improvement shown in all regions of the world, except in Europe. The Company anticipates that Department of Defense spending in fiscal 2011 will be about two percent higher than the fiscal 2010 level.

With respect to the North American residential air conditioning market and certain mobile construction markets, housing starts in June 2010 were approximately six percent lower than housing starts in June 2009.

The Company 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.

During the latter part of fiscal 2010, the Company began to see signs of an economic recovery. Throughout the worldwide economic downturn, the Company focused on maintaining its financial strength 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 as well as the implementation of a number of business realignment initiatives, including plant closures and general workforce reductions, continue to help meet this objective.

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. The Company has been able to borrow needed funds at favorable interest rates and currently has a debt to debt-shareholders’ equity ratio of 28.9 percent.

 

13 - 2


While worldwide economic conditions during the past fiscal year necessitated the Company concentrate its efforts on maintaining financial strength, the Company continues to believe many opportunities for growth remain available and the Company will evaluate these opportunities as appropriate. 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.

The Company completed one acquisition and one divestiture during fiscal 2010. 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 13-14 to 13-18. 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)

   2010     2009     2008  

Net sales

   $ 9,993      $ 10,309      $ 12,146   

Gross profit margin

     21.5     20.6     23.1

   $ 1,277      $ 1,290      $ 1,364   

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales

     12.8     12.5     11.2

Interest expense

     104        112        99   

Other expense, net

       42        12   

Loss (gain) on disposal of assets

     10          (3

Effective tax rate

     26.3     25.3     28.3

Net income attributable to common shareholders

   $ 554      $ 509      $ 949   

Net sales in 2010 were 3.1 percent lower than 2009. The decline in sales in 2010 primarily reflects lower volume in all segments except for the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months did not make a material contribution to the sales level in 2010. The effect of currency rate changes increased net sales by approximately $126 million.

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 fiscal 2009 contributed approximately $539 million in sales. The effect of currency rate changes reduced net sales by approximately $490 million.

 

13 - 3


During the latter part of 2010, worldwide economic conditions improved and the Company experienced an increase in demand for its products in the Industrial and Climate & Industrial Controls Segments. Business conditions in the Aerospace Segment remained relatively unchanged throughout most of 2010 as commercial airlines continued to operate at reduced capacity. In 2011, the Company expects the increase in demand experienced in the latter part of 2010 in the Industrial Segment and Climate & Industrial Controls Segment to continue especially with respect to their operations in the Asia Pacific region. The Company anticipates business conditions in the commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket businesses of the Aerospace Segment will improve in 2011 but business conditions in the military OEM and aftermarket businesses will weaken due to the expiration of various defense contracts.

Gross profit margin was higher in 2010 primarily due to cost reduction initiatives and the benefits of past business realignment activities. Gross profit margin was lower in 2009 primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies. Included in gross profit in 2010, 2009 and 2008 were business realignment charges of $43.0 million, $41.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.0 percent in 2010 and decreased 5.4 percent in 2009. The decrease in 2010 was primarily due to the lower sales volume, savings resulting from business realignment activities and lower professional fees partially offset by higher expenses related to employee benefits plans and contributions to the Company’s charitable foundation. The decrease in 2009 was primarily due to the lower sales volume as well as lower expenses related to incentive compensation plans.

Interest expense in 2010 decreased primarily due to lower average debt outstanding as well as lower interest rates on commercial paper borrowings. Interest expense in 2009 increased primarily due to higher average debt outstanding. The increase in borrowings in 2009 primarily related to the funding of acquisitions and the repurchase of the Company’s common shares.

Other expense, net in 2009 included $37.4 million of expense related to litigation settlements and $13.8 million of expense related to investment write downs. Other expense, net in 2008 included $20.0 million of expense related to litigation settlements.

Loss (gain) on disposal of assets in 2010 includes a loss of $4.8 million resulting from the divestiture of a business. Loss (gain) on disposal of assets in 2009 included income of $11.6 million from insurance recoveries for expenses incurred related to a previously divested business, $7.2 million of expense related to asset writedowns and $3.7 million of losses from asset sales.

Effective tax rate in 2010 was slightly higher primarily due to higher taxable income, especially in foreign jurisdictions and lower research and development tax credits. 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.

Sales in 2010 for the Industrial North American operations decreased 3.0 percent compared to a decrease of 12.1 percent from 2008 to 2009. The decrease in sales in 2010 was primarily due to lower demand experienced during the first half of 2010 from distributors as well as lower end-user demand in several markets, particularly the construction equipment, oil and gas, agriculture equipment and machine tools markets. An increase in volume in the semiconductor and automotive markets helped to mitigate the overall sales decline. 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 declined in response to the economic conditions that existed at that time.

Sales in the Industrial International operations decreased 2.2 percent in 2010 following a decrease of 22.2 percent from 2008 to 2009. The sales decrease in 2010 was primarily due to lower sales volume across most markets in Europe partially offset by an increase in volume experienced in the Asia Pacific region and in Latin America. 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. Foreign currency rate changes, primarily the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, the Japanese yen, the Australian dollar and the Brazilian real, increased net sales in 2010 by $100 million.

The higher Industrial North American and Industrial International operating margins in 2010 were primarily due to the benefits from cost control measures and past business realignment activities. 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 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.

Included in Industrial North American operating income in 2010, 2009 and 2008 are business realignment charges of $11.6 million, $10.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Included in Industrial International operating income in 2010, 2009 and 2008 are business realignment expenses of $32.4 million, $23.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The business realignment expenses consist primarily of severance costs resulting from plant closures as well as general reductions in the work force. The Company anticipates realizing cost savings of approximately $44 million in 2011 resulting from the work force reductions taken in the Industrial Segment during 2010. The amount of savings that is actually realized may be lower than expected if the Company needs to hire employees in the future as a result of an increase in end-user demand. 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 2011.

 

13 - 5


The Company anticipates Industrial North American sales for 2011 will increase between 5.7 percent and 9.7 percent from the 2010 level and Industrial International sales for 2011 will increase between 1.6 percent and 4.6 percent from the 2010 level. Industrial North American operating margins in 2011 are expected to range from 14.3 percent to 14.9 percent and Industrial International margins are expected to range from 11.4 percent to 13.4 percent. The higher sales levels in 2011 are anticipated primarily due to higher end-user demand expected in most markets and the expected improved margins are primarily due to the result of the higher sales volume and benefits from past business realignment actions.

The increase in total Industrial Segment backlog in 2010 was primarily due to higher order rates experienced across virtually all Industrial North American and Industrial International businesses, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. 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 decrease in assets in 2010 was primarily due to the effect of currency fluctuations as well as decreases in property, plant & equipment, net, intangible assets, net and inventory partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. 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.

     22.8     28.5     29.5

Sales in 2010 decreased 7.4 percent compared to an increase of 2.5 percent from 2008 to 2009. The decrease in sales in 2010 was primarily due to significantly lower commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) volume and lower commercial aftermarket volume, partially offset by higher military OEM and aftermarket volume. 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 OEM volume.

The decrease in margin in 2010 was primarily due to the lower commercial OEM and aftermarket volume and higher engineering development costs, partially offset by the higher military aftermarket volume and lower operating costs. The increase in margin in 2009 was primarily due to a higher concentration of sales occurring in the higher margin aftermarket businesses partially offset by higher engineering development costs.

The decrease in backlog in 2010 was primarily due to shipments exceeding new order rates primarily in the military OEM business. The decrease in backlog in 2009 was primarily due to lower order rates in the commercial and military OEM businesses. For 2011, sales are expected to increase between 2.5 percent and 5.5 percent from the 2010 level primarily due to anticipated higher commercial OEM and aftermarket volume. Operating margins are expected to range from 11.9 percent to 13.4 percent. Lower commercial aftermarket volume in future product mix and higher than expected new product development costs could result in lower margins.

The slight decrease in assets in 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in inventory partially offset by an increase in intangible assets, net and assets from a current-year acquisition. The decrease in assets in 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable partially offset by an increase in inventory.

Sales in 2010 increased 2.4 percent compared to a 24.4 percent decrease in sales from 2008 to 2009. The increase in sales in 2010 was primarily due to increased volume in the automotive market and higher demand for air conditioning and refrigeration products. The decrease in sales in 2009 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 higher margin in 2010 was primarily due to the benefits of cost control measures and past business realignment actions. Margins in 2010 also benefited from the higher sales volume. The lower margin in 2009 was primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies.

Included in operating income are business realignment charges in 2010 and 2009 of $3.9 million and $9.7 million, respectively. The business realignment charges primarily relate to severance costs resulting from plant closures. The Company anticipates realizing cost savings of approximately $4 million in 2011 resulting from the work force reductions taken in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment during 2010. The amount of savings that is actually realized may be lower than expected if the Company needs to hire employees in the future as a result of an increase in end-user demand. The Company expects to continue to take actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment. Such actions may include the necessity to record business realignment charges in 2011.

The Company anticipates sales in 2011 will increase between 3.7 percent and 7.7 percent from the 2010 level primarily due to an increase in end-user demand expected in most markets. Operating margins are expected to range from 8.0 percent to 8.6 percent.

The slight increase in assets in 2010 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable being mostly offset by decreases in intangible assets, net, property, plant & equipment, net and inventory. The decrease in assets in 2009 was primarily due to declines in accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment, net as well as the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

Corporate assets increased 40.5 percent in 2010 compared to an increase of 31.8 percent from 2008 to 2009. The increase in 2010 was primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in the LIFO reserve and increases in prepaid expenses and deferred taxes.

Current ratio

     1.63      1.56

Accounts receivable are primarily receivables due from customers for sales of product ($1,443 million at June 30, 2010 and $1,280 million at June 30, 2009). Accounts receivable increased in conjunction with higher sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year period. Days sales outstanding relating to trade receivables for the Company was 48 days in 2010 compared to 53 days in 2009. The Company believes that its receivables are collectible and appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts have been recorded.

Inventories decreased due to the Company’s concerted effort to match inventory levels with current customer demand. Days supply of inventory on hand was 58 days in 2010 compared to 77 days in 2009.

Plant and equipment, net decreased primarily due to limited capital expenditures in 2010. Capital expenditures as a percent of sales were 1.3 percent in 2010 and 2.6 percent in 2009.

Goodwill did not change materially from 2009 due to a lower level of acquisition activity in 2010. 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. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes payable decreased primarily due to payments made to reduce commercial paper borrowings partially offset by debt reclassified from long-term to current. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounts payable, trade increased primarily due to the timing of purchases and payments. The accounts payable, trade balance in 2009 was lower due to reduced spending and production levels. Days payable outstanding increased to 35 days in 2010 from 33 days in 2009.

Shareholders’ equity included a decrease of $186.9 million related to foreign currency translation adjustments and primarily affected Accounts receivable, Inventories, Plant and equipment, Investments and other assets, Goodwill, Intangible assets, Accounts payable, trade and Long-term debt.

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:

 

(millions)

   2010     2009     2008  

Cash provided by (used in):

      

Operating activities

   $ 1,219      $ 1,129      $ 1,317

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents

   $ 388      $ (138   $ 153   
                        

Cash Flows From Operating Activities increased from 2009 primarily due to the increase in Net Income. Operating cash flows in 2010 were also impacted by a $100 million discretionary cash contribution to the Company’s defined benefit plans and a $54 million cash payment received as a result of the restructuring of an executive life insurance program. Operating cash flows provided by working capital decreased significantly during 2010 due to the changes in inventory and accounts receivable levels partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities decreased primarily due to a lower level of acquisition activity as compared with 2009. 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 as near-term economic uncertainties resulted in the Company reducing the level of capital expenditures in 2010.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities primarily consists of activity with regards to commercial paper borrowings, dividend payments and share repurchases. In 2009, additional commercial paper borrowings were used primarily to finance acquisition activity and share repurchases. In 2010, the Company focused on repaying debt, which resulted in reduced acquisition activity and a significantly lower level of share repurchases.

Dividends have been paid for 240 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 54 fiscal years. The current annual dividend rate is $1.08 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-shareholders’ equity of no more than 37 percent.

 

Debt to Debt-Shareholders’ Equity Ratio (dollars in millions)

Debt

   $ 1,777      $ 2,321   

Debt & Shareholders’ Equity

     6,145        6,589   

Ratio

     28.9     35.2

As of June 30, 2010, the Company has a line of credit totaling $1,500 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $1,483 million was available at June 30, 2010. 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, 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. 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. Although a lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would likely increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

 

13 - 9


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 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. However, the Company currently does not have secured debt in its debt portfolio. 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. The Company’s ability to borrow has not been affected by a lack of general credit availability and the Company does not foresee any impediments to borrow funds at favorable interest rates in the near future. The Company expects that its 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 in the near term.

Contractual Obligations - The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, for uncertain tax positions was $90.3 million at June 30, 2010. Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with worldwide taxing authorities. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing of the settlements, these obligations are not included in the following summary of the Company’s fixed contractual obligations.

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 considers Venezuela to be a highly inflationary economy therefore the Unites States dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s Venezuelan operations. The effect of treating Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

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 $0.9 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 method and the extent of progress toward completion is primarily measured using the units-of-delivery method. 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 primarily 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 results of the Company’s 2010 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of December 31, 2009 indicated that no goodwill impairment existed. However, each of the following reporting units had an estimated fair value that the Company determined, from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective, was not significantly in excess of its carrying value (dollars in millions):

 

Reporting Unit

   Goodwill
Balance
   Fair Value In
Excess of  Carrying
Value
 

Origa Europe

   $ 27.3    108

dh Industrial

     158.1    105

Integrated Seal

     121.1    101

All of these reporting units are part of the Industrial Segment. For each of these reporting units, the sales growth assumption had the most significant influence on the estimation of fair value.

 

13 - 11


The sales growth assumption for Origa Europe was primarily based on improved overall market conditions, new product development as well as benefits from synergies of fully integrating this reporting unit into the Company’s distribution networks. The key uncertainties in the sales growth assumption used in the estimation of the fair value of this reporting unit is the growth of the markets that this reporting unit serves as well as the ability to realize the expected level of integration benefits.

The sales growth assumption for dh Industrial was primarily based on improved overall market conditions as well as new product development. The key uncertainty in the sales growth assumption used in the estimation of the fair value of this reporting unit is the increase in customer demand in the markets that this reporting unit serves as well as market acceptance of new products.

The sales growth assumption for Integrated Seal was primarily based on economic forecasts of worldwide automotive production. Sales growth resulting from penetration into new markets through the modification of its existing products was also assumed. The key uncertainty in the sales growth assumption used in the estimation of the fair value of this reporting unit is the actual level of worldwide automotive production over the forecasted period.

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. The recent financial performance of a reporting unit with approximately $165 million of goodwill prompted the Company to update the fair value calculation of this reporting unit as of June 30, 2010. Sales growth assumptions used in the estimation of this reporting unit’s fair value were based on the latest market data available as well as sales growth resulting from penetration into new markets. The key uncertainty in the sales growth assumption used in the estimation of the fair value of this reporting unit is the actual level of market demand in the oil and gas industry. The fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. The Company is unaware of any current market trends that are contrary to the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value of any of its other reporting units. If the recovery of the current economic environment is not consistent with the Company’s current expectations, it is possible that the estimated fair value of certain reporting units could fall below their carrying value resulting in the necessity to conduct additional goodwill impairment tests.

Long-lived assets held for use, which primarily includes finite lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition are less than their carrying value. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of their cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration technological advances known at the time of the impairment test. During 2010, there were no events or circumstances that indicated that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets held for use were not recoverable.

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 - 12


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 plans’ 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 25 basis point change in the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated to have a $4 million effect on pension expense and a 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate is estimated to increase pension expense by $8 million. As of June 30, 2010, $934 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 determining the probability of realizing 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.

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 service North America. The Industrial International operations provide Parker products and services to 43 countries throughout Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.

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 13-15 and 13-16 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.

 

13 - 20


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.

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 anticipated customer attrition rates. The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable

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, are recognized in income tax expense.

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, 2010 and 2009 is immaterial to the financial position of the Company and the change in the accrual during 2010, 2009 and 2008 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) 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 and amounted to a loss of $9,800 in 2010.

 

13 - 21


Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, long-term investments, and Accounts receivable, net as well as obligations under Accounts payable, trade, Notes payable and Long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for Cash, cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, net, Accounts payable, trade and Notes payable approximate fair value. See Note 15 for fair value of long-term investments and 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 (loss) 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 evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the date of filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. No subsequent events occurred that required either adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.

Reclassifications and Revisions - Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. These include the adoption of new accounting rules regarding noncontrolling interests on July 1, 2009.

 

2. Acquisitions

During 2010, the Company completed one acquisition whose aggregate sales for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition were $11 million. Total purchase price was approximately $5 million in cash.

In October 2008, the Company acquired Legris SA, a manufacturer of fluid circuit components and systems for pneumatic, hydraulic, and chemical processing applications. In October 2008, the Company acquired Origa Group, a manufacturer of rodless pneumatic actuators, electric actuators, filter regulator lubricators and pneumatic cylinders and valves. Aggregate annual sales for these businesses and seven other businesses acquired during 2009, for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition, were approximately $532 million. Total purchase price for all businesses acquired during 2009 was approximately $747 million in cash and $4 million in assumed debt.

In November 2007, the Company acquired Scan Subsea ASA whose primary businesses include the design, production, and marketing of power and production umbilical cables for subsea installations as well as mooring lines for floating oil production and exploration units. In April 2008, the Company acquired Vansco Electronics, a global leader in the design and manufacture of electronic controls, displays and terminals, communication and operator interfaces, and sensors. Aggregate annual sales for these businesses and eight other businesses acquired during 2008, for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition, were approximately $546 million. Total purchase price for all businesses acquired during 2008 was approximately $942 million in cash and $11 million in assumed debt.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had recorded deferred tax assets of $106,106 resulting from $379,093 in loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance of $92,799 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. No material valuation allowance was recorded during the year attributable to acquisitions.

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 $1,102,978, $1,298,102 and $1,435,394, at June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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

 

     2010     2009     2008

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective rate was $81,927, $114,210 and $76,868 as of June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $8,200, $9,179 and $9,748 as of June 30, 2010, 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 for fiscal years through 2007. All significant state and local and foreign tax returns have been examined for fiscal years through 2001. The Company does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months due to the settlement of examinations and the expiration of statute of limitations.

 

5. 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. The computation of net income per share was as follows:

 

     2010    2009    2008

Numerator:

        

Net income attributable to common shareholders

   $ 554,065    $ 508,515    $ 949,466

Denominator:

        

Basic – weighted-average common shares

     160,909,655      161,564,111      168,285,487

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

     1,992,062      1,155,037      3,358,348
                    

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

     162,901,717      162,719,148      171,643,835
                    

Basic earnings per share

   $ 3.44    $ 3.15    $ 5.64

Diluted earnings per share

   $ 3.40    $ 3.13    $ 5.53

For 2010, 2009 and 2008, 9.0 million, 6.4 million, and 1.1 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 of total inventories in 2010 and 2009. The current cost of these inventories exceeds their valuation determined on the LIFO basis by $193,519 in 2010 and $204,294 in 2009. During 2009, inventory reductions resulted in a pre-tax LIFO liquidation gain of $12,500. Progress payments of $33,676 in 2010 and $57,704 in 2009 are netted against inventories.

“Goodwill adjustments” primarily represent final adjustments to the purchase price allocation during the twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition date and primarily involved the valuation of income tax liabilities. Goodwill adjustments in 2010 included goodwill related to a business that was divested and goodwill associated with an investment that was written down.

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 $1,482,623 was available at June 30, 2010. 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.

The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $1,370,000 of short-term commercial paper notes. No commercial paper notes were outstanding at June 30, 2010 and $354,500 were outstanding at June 30, 2009.

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, 2010, the Company does not have any secured debt outstanding. 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, 2010, the Company had $167,985 in lines of credit from various foreign banks, of which $167,494 was available. Most of these agreements are renewed annually. The balance and weighted-average interest rate of the Notes payable at June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $17,759 and 0.5 percent and $431,044 and 1.5 percent, respectively.

The carrying value of the Company’s Long-term debt (excluding leases) was $1,758,845 and $1,889,844 at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and was estimated to have a fair value of $1,925,397 and $1,899,246, at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fair value of the Long-term debt (excluding leases) was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses assuming current interest rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements and maturities.

Lease Commitments - Future minimum rental commitments as of June 30, 2010, under non-cancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates, are as follows: 2011-$78,013; 2012-$56,838; 2013-$36,181; 2014-$23,279; 2015-$18,139 and after 2015-$80,927.

Rental expense in 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $123,582, $125,516 and $106,135, 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.

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) 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) into net periodic benefit pension cost in 2011 is $102,622, $12,476 and $51, respectively.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $3,096,603 and $2,699,942 at June 30, 2010 and 2009, 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 $3,401,504, $3,072,016 and $1,991,174, respectively, at June 30, 2010, and $2,911,759, $2,666,229 and $1,767,765, respectively, at June 30, 2009.

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $250 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2011, the majority of which relate to U.S. defined benefit plans. Estimated future benefit payments in the five years ending June 30, 2011 through 2015 are $144,209, $164,493, $191,499, $165,679 and $177,838, respectively and $1,095,388 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2016 through June 30, 2020.

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

 

     2010     2009     2008  

U.S. defined benefit plans

      

Discount rate

   6.25   6.8   6.3

Average increase in compensation

Average increase in compensation

   2.0 to 4.7   1.0 to 4.5   1.0 to 4.25

Expected return on plan assets

   1.0 to 8.0    1.0 to 8.0   1.0 to 7.75

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

 

     2010     2009  

U.S. defined benefit plans

    

Discount rate

   5.3   6.25

Average increase in compensation

   5.21   4.34

Non-U.S. defined benefit plans

Average increase in compensation

   2.0 to 4.5   2.0 to 4.7

 

13 - 30


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:

 

     2010     2009  

Equity securities

   56 %    60

Debt securities

   37 %    32

Other

   7 %    8
            
   100 %    100
            

The weighted-average target asset allocation as of June 30, 2010 is 61 percent equity securities, 33 percent debt securities and 6 percent other. The investment strategy for defined benefit pension plan assets focuses on achieving prudent actuarial funding ratios while maintaining acceptable levels of risk and providing adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit requirements. This strategy requires an investment portfolio that is broadly diversified across various asset classes and external investment managers. The Company’s overall investment strategy is to opportunistically migrate from its current mix between growth seeking assets (primarily consisting of global public equities in developed and emerging countries and hedge fund of fund strategies) and income generating assets (primarily consisting of high quality bonds, both domestic and global, emerging market bonds, high yield bonds and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) to an allocation more heavily weighted toward income generating assets. Over time, long duration fixed income assets will be added to the portfolio. These securities will be highly correlated with the Company’s pension liabilities and will serve to hedge a portion of the Company’s interest rate risk.

Common/Collective trusts are valued using market observable inputs for similar assets that are traded on an active market. The value is estimated using a net asset value per share which is based on the underlying value of the investments in the trust.

Miscellaneous assets primarily includes insurance contracts held in the asset portfolio of the Company’s international pension plans and is valued as the present value of future cash flows promised under the terms of the insurance contracts.

The primary investment objective of equity securities and equity funds, within both the mutual fund and common/collective trust asset class, is to obtain capital appreciation in an amount that at least equals various market-based benchmarks. The primary investment objective of fixed income securities and fixed income funds, within both the mutual fund and common/collective trust asset class, is to provide for a constant stream of income while preserving capital. The primary investment objective of the limited partnership is to achieve capital appreciation through an investment program focused on specialized investment strategies. The primary investment objective of insurance contracts, included in the miscellaneous asset class, is to provide a stable rate of return over a specified period of time.

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:

 

     2010    2009    2008

Allocated shares

   10,950,349    11,189,598      11,123,057

Fair value of suspense shares

         $ 14,449
            

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. Company contributions to the ESOP, recorded as compensation and interest expense, were $48,336 in 2010, $51,593 in 2009 and $53,019 in 2008. Dividends earned by the suspense shares and interest income within the ESOP totaled $28 in 2010, $162 in 2009 and $796 in 2008. In 2010 and 2009, in lieu of cash, the Company issued 510,984 and 49,422, of its common shares, respectively, 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 $12,598, $14,489 and $10,826 in expense related to the RIA in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

In addition to shares within the ESOP, as of June 30, 2010, employees have elected to invest in 3,827,222 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) is on a debit (credit) basis and is before the effect of income taxes. The amount of prior service (credit) and net actuarial loss (gain) that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) into net periodic postretirement cost in 2011 is $45 and $202, 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 the postretirement benefit accounting rules 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:

 

     2010     2009     2008  

Discount rate

   6.1   6.71   6.23

Current medical cost trend rate

   8.5   9.25   9.7

Ultimate medical cost trend rate

   5.0   5.0   5.0

Medical cost trend rate decreases to ultimate in year

   2018      2014      2014   

The discount rate assumption used to measure the benefit obligation was 5.01 percent in 2010 and 6.1 percent in 2009.

Estimated future benefit payments for other postretirement benefits in the five years ending June 30, 2011 through 2015 are $5,191, $5,194, $5,129, $5,123 and $5,113, respectively, and $24,755 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2016 through June 30, 2020.

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

 

     1% Increase    1% Decrease  

Effect on total of service and interest cost components

   $ 220    $ (184

Effect on postretirement benefit obligation

   $ 3,550    $ (2,973

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 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded (income) expense relating to deferred compensation of $21,553, $(27,167) and $8,785, 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.

 

11. Shareholders’ Equity

Retirement benefit plan activity for Retained earnings in 2009 includes $3,391 related to the adoption of new accounting rules for split dollar insurance arrangements and $2,106 related to the adoption of the measurement date provision of pension accounting rules.

The balance of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in Shareholders’ equity is comprised of the following:

 

     2010     2009  

Foreign currency translation

   $ (187,746   $ (821

Retirement benefit plans

     (1,019,762     (836,398

     (1,053     (5,800

The balance of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in Noncontrolling interests relates to foreign currency translation and amounted to $18,519 and $11,426, at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

 

13 - 34


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 commercial paper borrowings, and the shares are initially held as treasury stock. The number of common shares repurchased at the average purchase price follows:

 

     2010    2009    2008

Shares repurchased

     441,118      7,557,284      1,255,062

Average price per share

   $ 56.67    $ 59.25    $ 66.82
                    

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 2003 and 2009 Stock Incentive Programs 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 (24,838 previously unissued common shares were issued in 2008).

During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $44,415, $41,488 and $44,947, respectively, relating to the option and SAR awards. 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 2010, 2009 and 2008 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     2010     2009     2008  

Risk-free interest rate

     2.9     3.2     4.4

Expected life of award

     5.3 yrs        4.9 yrs        5.2 yrs   

Expected dividend yield of stock

     1.4     1.3     1.4

Expected volatility of stock

     34.5     26.6     25.6

Weighted-average fair value

   $ 15.77      $ 16.56      $ 16.61   
                        

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.

Restricted Stock - The Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Programs provided for the issuance of restricted shares to certain key employees under the Company’s 2007-08-09, 2006-07-08 and 2005-06-07 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 2008-09-10 LTIP a payout of restricted shares from the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Program will be issued to certain key employees in August 2010. In lieu of restricted shares, the participant may elect to receive the 2008-09-10 LTIP payout as deferred cash compensation. Retired participants receive the 2008-09-10 LTIP payout in cash. The total payout, valued at $9,456, has been accrued over the three years of the plan. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded expense (income) relating to the LTIP of $15,018, $(5,562) and $25,681 respectively. The decrease in expense in 2009 was primarily attributable to the impact the economic downturn had on the Company’s performance and stock price during 2009.

In 2010, 2009 and 2008, 20,000, 12,150 and 14,850 restricted shares, respectively 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 restricted shares. These shares vest ratably, on an annual basis, over the term of office of the director. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, 4,578, 3,868 and 2,526 restricted shares, respectively, were issued in lieu of directors’ fees.

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, 2010, 161,256,018 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 $316,181 in 2010, $338,908 in 2009 and $303,098 in 2008. 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 $40,277 in 2010, $50,739 in 2009 and $47,757 in 2008. These costs are included in the total research and development cost for each of the respective years.

15. Fair Value Measurements

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, which includes goodwill and long-lived assets. These items are recognized at fair value when an impairment exists. No material fair value adjustments were made to the Company’s nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities during 2010.

Available for sale securities consist of an investment in stock in an electronic and electrical equipment company. The fair value of available for sale securities was transferred from Level 1 to Level 3 in 2010 as a result of the delisting of the electronic and electrical equipment company’s stock from the international market of the London Stock Exchange. The fair value of available for sale securities as of June 30, 2010 was estimated using a market and income approach with equal weighting given to each approach. The market approach estimates a fair value by applying price-to-earnings multiples for similar companies that are publicly traded while the income approach estimates a fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis. During 2010, there were no purchases, sales, issuances or settlements of available for sale securities. After the stock delisting, it was determined that the fair value of the investment in the electronic and electrical equipment company had permanently declined and an expense of $7,251 was recognized in Net income, the amount of which had previously been included in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss). The fair value of available for sale securities as of June 30, 2009 was measured using quoted market prices. Derivatives primarily consist of costless collar contracts, the fair value of which 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 fair value of the compensation deferred under these programs are recognized based on the quoted market prices for the participants’ investment elections.

16. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation matters 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, the majority of which have either been settled or are pending an appeal filed by the Company.

With respect to the class action lawsuits, the Company recognized $20,000 in expense in 2008 and $2,322 in expense in 2009. No expenses related to the class action lawsuits were recognized during 2010. With respect to the regulatory investigations, the Company recognized $35,084 in expense in 2009 and $654 in expense in 2010. No expenses related to the regulatory investigations were recognized in 2008.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company has made all required payments relating to the class action lawsuits and regulatory investigations and has no remaining accrual related to these matters. With respect to the class action lawsuits, the Company made payments of $22,322 in 2009. No payments were made in 2008 or 2010. With respect to the regulatory investigations, the Company made payments of $32,794 in 2009 and $2,944 in 2010. No payments were made in 2008.

Legal expenses related to these matters are being expensed as incurred and totaled $1,445, $3,092, and $5,767 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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, 2010, the Company has a reserve of $15,825 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 $1,451 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 $15.8 million to a maximum of $72.3 million. The largest range of the estimated total liability for any one site is approximately $6.1 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, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, 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)). We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010. 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, 2010.

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, 2010, 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, 2010 and June 30, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(l). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, 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, 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 schedule and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement 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, 2010 and June 30, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic 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, 2010, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
