Backlog and Seasonal Nature of Business

 

The Company’s backlog at June 30, 2004 was approximately $2,203,732,000 and at June 30, 2003 was approximately $1,803,091,000. Approximately 82.2% of the Company’s backlog at June 30, 2004 is scheduled for delivery in the succeeding twelve months. The Company’s business generally is not seasonal in nature.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the environment and to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. Among other environmental laws, the Company is subject to the federal “Superfund” law, under which the Company has been designated as a “potentially responsible party” and may be liable for cleanup costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund priority list.

 

As of June 30, 2004, the Company is involved in environmental remediation at 28 manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other companies, at two off-site waste disposal facilities and three regional sites.

 

The Company believes that its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and the consequent financial liability to the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations requires continuing management effort and expenditures by the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations has not had in the past, and, the Company believes, will not have in the future, material effects on the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of the Company.

 

As of June 30, 2004, the Company has a reserve of $20,361,000 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.

 

The Company’s estimated total liability for the above mentioned sites ranges from a minimum of $20,361,000 to a maximum of $60,439,000. The actual costs to be incurred by the Company will be dependent on final delineation of contamination, final determination of remedial action required, negotiations with federal and state agencies with respect to cleanup levels, changes in regulatory requirements, innovations in investigatory and remedial technology, effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ultimate ability to pay of the other responsible parties, and any insurance or third party recoveries.

Energy Matters and Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

 

The Company’s primary energy source for each of its business segments is electric power. While the Company cannot predict future costs of such electric power, the primary source for production of the required electric power will be coal from substantial, proven coal reserves available to electric utilities. The Company is subject to governmental regulations in regard to energy supplies both in the United States and elsewhere. To date the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions of its operations due to energy curtailments.

 

Steel, brass, aluminum, elastomeric materials and chemicals are the principal raw materials used by the Company. These materials are available from numerous sources in quantities sufficient to meet the requirements of the Company.

 

Employees

 

The Company employed 48,447 persons as of June 30, 2004, of whom approximately 21,290 were employed by foreign subsidiaries.

The Company believes that its properties have been adequately maintained, are in good condition generally and are suitable and adequate for its business as presently conducted. The extent of utilization of the Company’s properties varies among its plants and from time to time. The Company’s restructuring efforts over the past several years have brought capacity levels closer to present and anticipated needs. Although capacity has been reduced over the last fiscal year, most of the Company’s material manufacturing facilities remain capable of handling additional volume increases.

(1) On August 16, 1990, the Registrant publicly announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 3.0 million shares of its common stock. Such amount was subsequently adjusted to 6.75 million shares as a result of stock splits in June 1995 and September 1997. On July 14, 1998, the Registrant publicly announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 4.0 million shares of its common stock. There is no expiration date for the Registrant’s repurchase program.

 

ITEM 6 . Selected Financial Data . The information set forth on page 13-41 of Exhibit 13 hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 7 . Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations . The information set forth on pages 13-2 to 13-13 of Exhibit 13 hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

 

-17-


ITEM 7A . Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk . The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies. The total value of open contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of these arrangements is not material to the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

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 one hundred basis point increase in near term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt by approximately $400,000.

 

For further discussion see the Significant Accounting Policies Footnote on page 13-21 of Exhibit 13 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 8 . Financial Statements and Supplementary Data . The information set forth on pages 13-14 to 13-41 of Exhibit 13 hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

The Company periodically conducts an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer as well as the Company’s Audit Committee and independent auditors, of its internal controls and procedures. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls.

(ii) individuals who, at the beginning of any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided, that (A) any person becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period, whose election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board who are then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this paragraph (ii), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board;

 

(iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in connection with the transaction or otherwise (a “Business Combination”), unless (A) immediately following such Business Combination: (1) more than 50% of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”) or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (2) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (a “Non-Control Transaction”) or (B) the Business Combination is effected by means of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities from the Company, and a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that such Business Combination does not constitute a Change in Control under this paragraph (iii); or

 

(iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

2


Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Program to the contrary, if the Participant’s employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control, and the Participant reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control (a “Third Party”), then for all purposes of this Program, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment shall be deemed to be the date of a Change in Control for such Participant.

9


(b) The Lump Sum Payment referred to in Section 4.02(c) shall be equal to the present value of the future monthly payments to which the participant is entitled under the Program based on the following assumptions: (i) the discount rate equals the Specified Rate; and (ii) the Participant lives the number of years equal to his Life Expectancy on the later of (A) date of his election to receive a Lump Sum Payment, or (B) the date of his termination of employment.

 

4.04 Certain Matters Following a Lump Sum Payment .

 

(a) A Participant who has received a Change in Control Lump Sum Payment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) shall thereafter: (i) while in the employ of the Company, continue to accrue benefits under the Program, and (ii) be eligible for further benefits under Section 4.01 or 4.02(a), (b) or (c). The amount of such benefit shall be determined by:

 

(i) calculating the benefit that would be payable to the Participant if there had been no previous Change in Control Lump Sum Payment;

 

(ii) determining the present lump sum value of such benefit, using the Specified Rate as the discount rate and assuming the Participant lives the number of years equal to his Life Expectancy on the date of his retirement or termination of employment;

 

(iii) determining the present lump sum value of the Change in Control Lump Sum Payment, assuming the Change in Control Lump Sum Payment had earned interest at the average Specified Rate in effect from the time of payment of the Change in Control Lump Sum Payment until the date of retirement or other termination of employment;

 

(iv) reducing the amount determined in (ii) by the amount determined in (iii); and

 

(v) if applicable, converting the amount determined in (iv) to an Actuarially Equivalent single life only form of payment.

 

5. Death Benefits

 

5.01 Eligibility . If a Participant dies after completing 120 calendar months of Service (without regard to the requirements of Section 2.04) but prior to the earlier of his retirement or his Normal Retirement Date, his Surviving Spouse (or, in the event there is no surviving spouse, or there is a common death, his estate) shall be eligible for a benefit under this Article 5.

5.02 Benefit Amount .

 

(a) The monthly amount of a benefit payable under this Article 5 to a deceased Participant’s Surviving Spouse who has applied therefor, shall be equal to the monthly payment the spouse would have received had the Participant retired on the day before his death after having effectively elected to receive payment in the form of a Joint and 100% Survivor Annuity under the Consolidated Plan, with his spouse as his Contingent Annuitant under such option; provided, that (i) in lieu of the offset for the Participant’s primary social security benefit under Section 3.03(f), the benefit to the Surviving Spouse shall be offset by 50% of the primary or survivor social security benefit to which the Surviving Spouse is entitled at the earliest date as of which such payments become payable, and (ii) in lieu of the offset for the Consolidated Plan benefit set forth in Section 3.03(b) (and/or any other retirement benefit under any defined benefit arrangement described in Sections 3.03(c), (d), or (g)), the benefit to the Surviving Spouse shall be offset by the Qualified Plan Death Benefit. If the estate is the death beneficiary, the estate shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value (using the Specified Rate) of the total monthly payments that would have been paid to the Participant assuming he had not died but rather that he: (i) retired on the day before the date of his death (or the first day of the month following the time he would have reached age 55, if later); (ii) elected the 10-Year Certain Annuity under the Consolidated Plan; and (iii) received 120 monthly payments.

 

(b) If the Participant dies before reaching the age that is ten years prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, then the monthly benefit used to determine the death benefit shall be further reduced by .3030 for each month that the Participant was under such age at the time of his death.

 

5.03 Benefit Payments . Subject to Section 4.02 (b) and (c), the benefit under this Article 5 shall be paid to the deceased Participant’s Surviving Spouse commencing with the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant’s death occurs, and shall be payable monthly thereafter during the life of the Surviving Spouse, the last payment being for the month in which the death of the Surviving Spouse shall occur. If payment is made to the estate of the Participant, payment shall be made within 30 days of the date of the Participant’s death.

 

6. Non-Competition

 

6.01 Condition of Payment .

7.02 Claims Review Procedure . Within 60 days of the date on which the notice of denial of claim is received by the Claimant, the Claimant, or his authorized representative, may request that the claim denial be reviewed by filing with the Company a written request therefor, which request shall contain the following information:

 

(a) The date on which the notice of denial of claim was received by the Claimant;

 

(b) The date on which the Claimant’s request was filed with the Company; provided , however , that the date on which the Claimant’s request for review was in fact filed with the Company shall control in the event that the date of the actual filing is later than the date stated by the Claimant pursuant to this subsection (b);

 

12


(c) The specific portions of the denial of his claim which the Claimant requests the Company to review;

Within 60 days of the date determined pursuant to Section 7.02(b), the Company shall conduct a full and fair review of the decision denying the Claimant’s claim for benefits. Within ten days following the date of such review, the Company will send to the Claimant its written decision setting forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, a statement of the specific reasons for its decision, including references to the specific Program provision relied upon. If the Claimant disputes the Company’s decision, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in Cleveland, Ohio under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

7.03 ERISA Plan . The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for “a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

 

7.04 Trust . The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the Plan. At its discretion, the Company may establish one or more grantor trusts for the purpose of providing for payment of benefits under the Plan. Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. Benefits paid to a Participant from any such trust shall be considered paid by the Company for purposes of meeting the obligations of the Company under the Plan.

 

7.05 Rights of Participants . Except as expressly provided in any grantor trust agreement established by the Company:

 

(a) no Participant or Recipient shall have any right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Program;

 

(b) nothing contained in the Program shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, Recipient or any other person;

 

(c) to the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Program, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company; and

 

(d) all payments to be made under the Program shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of amounts payable under the Program.

 

13


7.06 Administration . The Committee shall be responsible for the general administration of the Program and for carrying out the provisions thereof. Any act authorized, permitted or required to be taken by the Company under the Program may be taken by action of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 relating to denial of claims and claims review procedure, any action taken by the Committee which is authorized, permitted or required under the Program shall be final and binding upon the Company, all persons who have or who claim an interest under the Program, and all third parties dealing with the Company.

 

7.07 Program Non-Contractual . Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment or agreement on the part of any person to continue his employment with the Company, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment on the part of the Company to continue the employment or the rate of compensation of any such person for any period, and all employees of the Company shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Program had never been put into effect.

 

7.08 Non-Alienation of Retirement Rights or Benefits . No right or benefit under the Program shall at any time be subject in any manner to alienation or encumbrances. If any person shall attempt to, or shall, alienate or in any way encumber his rights or benefits under the Program, or any part thereof, or if by reason of his bankruptcy or other event happening at any time any such benefits would otherwise be received by anyone else or would not be enjoyed by him, his interest in all such benefits shall automatically terminate and the same, at the discretion of the Company, shall be held or applied to or for the benefit of such person, his spouse, children, or other dependents as the Company may select.

 

7.09 Payment of Benefits to Others . If any person to whom a retirement benefit is payable is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly qualified guardian or legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, parent, brother, or sister, or any other individual deemed by the Company to be maintaining or responsible for the maintenance of such person. The monthly payment of a retirement benefit to a person for the month in which he dies, if not paid to such person prior to his death, shall be paid to his estate. Any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Program with respect to the retirement benefit so paid.

 

7.10 Notices . All notices provided for by the Program shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if and when mailed in the continental United States by registered or certified mail or personally delivered to the party entitled thereto at the address stated below or to such changed address as the addressee may have given by a similar notice:

Dividend Equivalents Rights credited to the Grantee of a DER may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional Shares (which may thereafter accrue additional Dividend Equivalents Rights). Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value at the time thereof. DERs may be settled in cash or Shares or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A DER granted as a component of another Award may provide that such DER shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such DER shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award. A DER granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other Award.

 

(b) Any Award under this Plan that is settled in whole or in part in cash on a deferred basis may provide by the Award for interest equivalents to be credited with respect to such cash payment. Interest equivalents may be compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Award.

 

11. Deferral of Payment .

 

With the approval of the Committee, the delivery of Shares, cash or any combination thereof subject to an award may be deferred, either in the form of installments or a single future delivery. The Committee may also permit or require selected Grantees to defer payment of some or all of their Awards, as well as other compensation, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee to assure that recognition of taxable income is deferred under the Code.

 

12. Termination of Employment .

 

If the employment of a Grantee terminates for any reason, all unexercised, deferred and unpaid Awards may be exercisable and paid only as specified in the Award and in accordance with rules established by the Committee. These rules may provide, as the Committee deems appropriate, subject to the terms of the Plan, for the expiration, continuation, or acceleration of the vesting of all or part of the Awards.

 

- 10 -


13. Detrimental Activity .

 

The Committee may cancel any unexpired, unpaid or deferred Awards at any time if the Grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Plan or with the terms of any notice of Award or if the Grantee engages in Detrimental Activity. The Committee may, in its discretion and as a condition to the exercise of an Award, require a Grantee to acknowledge that he or she is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Plan and of any notice of Award and has not engaged in any Detrimental Activity. Any Award may provide that if a Grantee, either during employment by the Corporation or within a specified period after termination of such employment, shall engage in any Detrimental Activity, and the Committee shall so find, forthwith upon notice of such finding, the Grantee shall:

 

(a) return to the Corporation, in exchange for payment by the Corporation of any amount actually paid therefor by the Grantee, all Shares that the Grantee has not disposed of that were issued pursuant to this Plan within a specified period prior to the date of the commencement of such Detrimental Activity; and

 

(b) with respect to any Shares so acquired that the Grantee has disposed of, pay to the Corporation in cash the difference between:

 

(i) any amount actually paid therefore by the Grantee pursuant to this Plan; and

 

(ii) the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date of such acquisition.

 

To the extent that such amounts are not paid to the Corporation, the Corporation may set off the amounts so payable to it against any amounts that may be owing from time to time by the Corporation to the Grantee, whether as wages, deferred compensation or vacation pay or in the form of any other benefit or for any other reason.

 

14. Change in Control .

 

The Committee may in its discretion and upon such terms as it deems appropriate, either in the Award or subsequent thereto, accelerate the date on which any outstanding Stock Option or SAR becomes exercisable or waive the restrictions or other terms and conditions on the vesting of any Restricted Stock in the event of a Change in Control or proposed Change in Control of the Corporation. In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation may, with the approval of the Committee, purchase Stock Options previously granted to any Grantee who is at the time of any such transaction an Employee of the Corporation for a price equal to the difference between the consideration per Share payable pursuant to the terms of the transaction resulting in the Change in Control and the exercise price specified in the Award.

 

- 11 -


15. Substitute Awards .

 

The Committee may grant Awards in substitution for, or upon the assumption of, Awards granted by another corporation that is merged into, consolidated with, or all or a substantial part of the assets or stock of which is acquired by the Corporation or a Subsidiary. The terms and provisions of any Awards granted under this Section 15 may vary from the terms and provisions otherwise specified in this Plan and may, instead, correspond to the terms and provisions of the awards granted by the other corporation.

 

16. Amendments to This Plan; Amendments of Outstanding Awards .

 

(a) The Board may from time to time amend or terminate this Plan, or any provision hereof, provided, however, approval of the shareholders of the Corporation will be required to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement, or to qualify for an exemption or characterization that is deemed desirable by the Board.

 

(b) The Committee may, in its discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan, amend the terms of any Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment may impair the rights of any Grantee without his or her consent. The Committee may, in whole or in part, subject to the terms of the Plan, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to, or accelerate the vesting of, any Award.

 

17. Withholding Taxes .

 

The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any cash payment made under this Plan any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Corporation to deliver Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option or SAR, upon settlement of a DER, upon delivery of Restricted Stock, or upon exercise, settlement, or payment of any other Award under this Plan, that the Grantee of such Award pay to the Corporation such amount as may be requested by the Corporation for the purpose of satisfying any liability for such withholding taxes. Any Award under this Plan may provide by the Award that the Grantee of such Award may elect, in accordance with any applicable regulations of the Committee, to pay a portion or all of the amount of such minimum required or additional permitted withholding taxes in shares. The Grantee shall authorize the Corporation to withhold, or shall agree to surrender back to the Corporation, on or about the date such withholding tax liability is determinable, shares previously owned by such Grantee or a portion of the shares that were or otherwise would be distributed to such Grantee pursuant to such Award having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date such payment is made equal to the amount of such required or permitted withholding taxes to be paid in Shares.

 

- 12 -


18. Grants of Awards to Employees Who are Foreign Nationals .

 

Without amending this Plan, but subject to the limitations specified in Section 16 above, the Committee may grant, amend, administer, annul, or terminate Awards to eligible Employees who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may in the judgment of the Committee be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Plan.

 

19. Rights of Employees .

 

Nothing in this Plan will confer upon any Grantee the right to continued employment by the Corporation or limit in any way the Corporation’s right to terminate any Grantee’s employment at will.

 

20. Effective Date .

 

This Plan was approved by the Board on August 14, 2003 and will become effective when approved by the shareholders of the Corporation. Upon approval of the Plan by the Shareholders of the Corporation, no further Awards may be made by the Corporation under the 1993 Program.

  (i) any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the “Company” representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) (the “Company’s Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following situations: (A) an acquisition by the Company or any corporation or entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect ownership interest of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of such corporation or other entity (a “Subsidiary”); (B) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary; (C) an acquisition by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; (D) a Non-Control Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii)); (E) as pertains to a Plan participant (the “Executive”), any acquisition by the Executive or any group of persons (within the meaning of Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) including the Executive (or any entity in which the Executive or a group of persons including the Executive, directly or indirectly, holds a majority of the voting power of such entity’s outstanding voting interests); or (F) the acquisition of Company Voting Securities from the Company, if a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that the acquisition pursuant to this clause (F) does not constitute a Change in Control under this paragraph (i);

 

  (ii) individuals who, at the beginning of any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided, that (A) any person becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period, whose election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board who are then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named

 

-3-


as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this paragraph (ii), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board;

 

  (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in connection with the transaction or otherwise (a “Business Combination”), unless (A) immediately following such Business Combination: (1) more than 50% of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”) or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (2) no person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (a “Non-Control Transaction”) or (B) the Business Combination is effected by means of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities from the Company, and a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing expressly that such Business Combination does not constitute a Change in Control under this paragraph (iii); or

 

  (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such

 

-4-


person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control, and the Executive reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, (a “Third Party”), then for all purposes of this Plan, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment shall be deemed to be the date of a Change in Control for such Executive.

Claims and Review Procedures

 

17.1 Claims Procedure . The Company shall notify a Participant in writing, within ninety (90) days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan.

Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the Participant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the petition, the Company shall afford the Participant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Company orally or in writing, and the Participant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Company shall notify the Participant of its decision in writing within the sixty-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If, because of the

 

16


need for a hearing, the sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Company, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Participant. In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures shall apply to the Participant’s beneficiaries.

ARTICLE 16

 

Claims and Review Procedures

 

16.1 Claims Procedure. The Company shall notify a Participant in writing, within ninety (90) days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan. If the Company determines that a Participant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth: (a) the specific reasons for such denial; (b) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (c) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed; and (d) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Company determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Company shall notify the Participant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.

 

16.2 Review Procedure . If a Participant is determined by the Company not to be eligible for benefits, or if the Participant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Participant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition for review with the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice issued by the Company. Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the Participant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the petition, the Company shall afford the Participant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Company orally or in writing, and the Participant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Company shall notify the Participant of its decision in writing within the sixty-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If, because of

 

17


the need for a hearing, the sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Company, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Participant. In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures shall apply to the Participant’s beneficiaries.

 

18


EXHIBlT A

 

The purpose of the adjustment payment to be added to the distribution made pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (the “Make Whole Amount”) is to offset the Participant’s inability to defer until retirement or later the payment of taxes on the amounts deferred and the earnings and interest that would have otherwise accrued between the date of the Change in Control and the date on which the Participant elected to commence receipt of his Account (the “Commencement Date”) under the Plan.

 

The Make Whole Amount shall be calculated as follows:

 

1. The Participant’s Account balance under the Plan as of the date of the Change in Control (exclusive of Automatic Deferrals) (the “EDP Amount”) will be projected forward to the Commencement Date at an assumed tax-deferred annual earnings rate equal to the Moody’s Seasoned Baa Corporate Bond Yield Average for the last twelve full calendar months prior to the Change in Control (the “Moody’s Rate”) (such projected amount shall be known as the “Projected Balance”). The Projected Balance will then be converted into annual installment benefit payments based upon the Participant’s elected form of retirement payments under the Plan, assuming continued tax-deferred earnings on the undistributed balance at the Moody’s Rate (the “Projected Annual Payouts”). The Projected Annual Payouts will then be reduced for assumed income taxes at the highest applicable federal, state and local marginal rates of taxation in effect in the Participant’s taxing jurisdiction(s) for the calendar year in which the Make Whole Amount is paid (the “Tax Rate”). The after-tax Projected Annual Payouts will be known as the “After-Tax Projected Benefits”.

 

2. The term “Made Whole Amount”, as used herein, shall mean the EDP Amount plus the Make Whole Amount. The Make Whole Amount is the amount which, when added to the EDP Amount, will yield After-Tax Annuity Benefits (as hereinafter defined) equal to the After-Tax Projected Benefits, based on the following assumptions:

 

  a. The Made Whole Amount will be taxed at the Tax Rate upon receipt by the Participant.

 

  b. The after-tax Made Whole Amount will be deemed to be invested by the Participant in a tax-deferred annuity that is structured to make payments beginning on the Commencement Date in the same form as elected by the Participant under the Plan (the “Annuity”).

 

  c. The Annuity will accrue interest at the Moody’s Rate, less 80 basis points (i.e., 0.80%).

 

  d. Annual Annuity payments will be taxed at the Tax Rate (after taking into account the annuity exclusion ratio), yielding “After-Tax Annuity Benefits”.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Overview

 

The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of commercial, mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. The Company’s order rates are highly indicative of the Company’s future revenues and thus a key metric for future performance. The Company publishes its order rates on a monthly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized is typically eight to 12 weeks for commercial, mobile and industrial orders and six to 12 months for aerospace orders. The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a strong correlation to the Company’s future order rates are the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) index of manufacturing activity with respect to commercial, mobile and industrial markets and aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles for aerospace markets. An ISM index above 50 indicates that the manufacturing economy is expanding resulting in the expectation that the Company’s order rates in the commercial, mobile and industrial markets should be increasing. The ISM index at the end of fiscal 2004 was 61.1 and was in the expansionary range throughout 2004. With respect to the aerospace market, aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles have shown slight improvement during 2004, although they continue to be at depressed levels.

 

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

 

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

 

  Expand the Company’s business presence in non-North American markets,

 

  New product introductions,

 

  Systems solutions, and

 

  Strategic acquisitions.

 

The financial condition of the Company remains strong as evidenced by the continued generation of substantial cash flows from operations, a debt to debt-equity ratio of 24.9 percent, ample borrowing capabilities and strong short-term credit ratings. Cash flows from operations achieved a new record in 2004 even though the Company made discretionary contributions to its retirement and benefits plans of $146 million.

 

Acquisition opportunities remain available to the Company, as evidenced by the increased level of acquisition activity in 2004. Additional acquisitions will be pursued to the extent there is a strong strategic fit while maintaining the Company’ strong financial position.

 

Current challenges facing the Company include continuing efforts to improve operating margins despite the rising costs related to employee retirement and health care benefits, insurance, compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other corporate governance measures and more recently, increases in raw material prices and the ability to recover such increases in product pricing. The Company has implemented a number of strategic financial performance initiatives relating to growth and margin improvement in order to meet these challenges, including strategic procurement, strategic pricing, lean manufacturing and business realignments.

 

The discussion below is structured to 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.

Net income

   $ 346     $ 196     $ 130  

Net income, as a percent of sales

     4.9 %     3.1 %     2.1 %

 

Net sales in 2004 were 10.9 percent higher than 2003. The increase in sales in 2004 primarily reflects higher volume experienced in the Industrial North American and Industrial International operations. Sales in the Aerospace operations and Climate & Industrial Controls Segment increased slightly during 2004. The effects of acquisitions completed in 2004 and currency-rate changes also contributed to the sales increase.

 

Net sales in 2003 were 4.3 percent higher than 2002. Acquisitions completed in 2003 and the effects of foreign currency rate changes accounted for all of the 2003 sales increase. Lower demand was experienced in virtually all of the markets in the Industrial North American operations as recession-like business conditions prevailed throughout 2003. Sales in the Industrial International operations were higher across most businesses in Latin America and the Asia Pacific region while sales in Europe were flat. The Aerospace operations experienced lower demand in the commercial original equipment and aftermarket businesses.

 

During the last half of fiscal 2004, the Company saw continued improvement in business conditions in the markets that the Industrial North American businesses serve. The Company expects this trend to continue into 2005 resulting in an increase in both sales and operating income over their 2004 level. Sales in the Industrial European operations are expected to increase modestly with profits improving as a result of the continued implementation of financial performance initiatives. Sales and profits in the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions are anticipated to grow as business conditions in substantially all of these markets are expected to improve. The Aerospace operations expect the commercial OEM and aftermarket businesses to experience slightly stronger business conditions than those in 2004, while the defense business is projected to remain relatively constant. The Climate & Industrial Controls operations are expected to experience the same economic conditions as experienced in 2004.

 

Gross profit margin was higher in 2004 as a result of the increased sales volume, most notably in the Industrial Segment. The higher margins in both 2004 and 2003 reflect the effects of the Company’s financial performance initiatives, resulting in better manufacturing utilization levels, as well as a reduction in the year over year amount of business realignment costs.

 

13-3


Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales increased slightly in 2004 due to higher expenses associated with employee benefit and performance-based compensation plans as well as an increase in professional fees.

 

Goodwill impairment loss in 2004 and 2002 resulted from the Company’s goodwill impairment tests required to be performed under the provisions of SFAS No. 142. No impairment loss was required to be recognized in 2003.

 

Interest expense declined in 2004 as a result of lower average debt outstanding and declined in 2003 as a result of lower weighted-average interest rates. Interest expense in 2004 included expenses associated with renewing the Company’s revolving credit agreement.

 

(Gain) loss on disposal of assets includes property, plant and equipment disposals, divestitures of businesses and asset impairments and other miscellaneous asset adjustments.

See Note 2 on page 13-23 for a discussion of divestitures. See Notes 1 and 3 on pages 13-20 and 13-24, respectively, for a discussion of asset adjustments.

 

Effective tax rate in 2004 was lower due primarily to the net effect of both the completion of tax planning initiatives that have generated a capital loss that was used to offset capital gains in the current and prior years and the settlement of an IRS audit. The higher tax rate in 2002 was primarily due to the effect of the goodwill impairment loss, which was nondeductible for tax purposes.

 

Net income - In addition to the individual income statement items discussed above, net income in 2004 and 2003 was adversely affected by an additional expense of approximately $30 million and $17 million, respectively, related to domestic qualified defined benefit plans. The increase in expense associated with the Company’s domestic qualified defined benefit plans results from a lower market value of plan assets and changes in actuarial assumptions regarding the long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate. Net income in 2005 is expected to be adversely affected by an additional estimated $13 million in excess of the 2004 expense for domestic qualified defined benefit plans. The estimated increase in expense in 2005 primarily results from the amortization of actuarial losses.

 

13-4


Other comprehensive income (loss) – Items included in other comprehensive income (loss) are gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded directly into stockholders’ equity. The following are the Company’s items of other comprehensive income (loss):

 

(millions)


   2004

   2003

Foreign currency translation

   $ 34    $ 99     $ 70  

Unrealized gains (losses) on marketable equity securities

     5              (5 )

Minimum pension liability

     95      (297 )     (108 )

 

The change in foreign currency translation in 2004 resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most other currencies. The change in foreign currency translation in 2003 and 2002 resulted primarily from a weaker U.S. dollar against the Euro. The minimum pension liability was recorded in comprehensive income in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 87 (see Note 10 on page 13-29 for further discussion).

 

Discussion of Business Segment Information

 

The Business Segment information presents sales, operating income and assets on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s various businesses are managed for internal review and decision-making. See Note 1 on page 13-19 for a description of the Company’s reportable business segments.

Sales in 2004 for the Industrial North American operations were 8.8 percent higher than 2003 following a 1.7 percent increase from 2002 to 2003. The increase in sales in 2004 was primarily due to higher end-user demand experienced in virtually all markets, with the largest increases in heavy-duty truck, construction and agriculture. Acquisitions made in 2004 also contributed to the sales increase. All of the sales increase from 2002 to 2003 was attributable to acquisitions completed in 2003. Customer demand in virtually all of the Industrial North American markets was weak throughout 2003 as the North American economy was stagnant.

 

Sales in the Industrial International operations increased 24.4 percent in 2004 following an increase of 23.9 percent from 2002 to 2003. The increase in sales in 2004 was primarily due to higher volume in Latin America and the Asia Pacific region as well as the effect of foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions completed in 2004. Sales in 2004 in the European businesses were down slightly. Acquisitions completed in 2003 and the effect of foreign currency exchange rates accounted for about 80 percent of the sales increase from 2002 to 2003. Also in 2003, higher volume was experienced in virtually all markets in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions while sales in the European businesses were flat.

 

13-5


The higher Industrial North American operating margins in 2004 were primarily due to the increased sales volume as well as operating efficiencies. The operating efficiencies reflect the benefits of past business realignment activities as well as the implementation of financial performance initiatives. The increase in margins in 2003 was primarily due to operating efficiencies and product mix. Acquisitions, not yet fully integrated, negatively impacted margins in both 2004 and 2003. Included in Industrial North American operating income in 2004, 2003 and 2002 are business realignment charges of $9.1 million, $8.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The business realignment charges resulted from actions the Company took to structure the Industrial North American operations to operate in their then current economic environment and primarily consisted of severance costs and costs relating to the consolidation of manufacturing operations.

 

The Industrial International operating margin improvement in 2004 was primarily due to the higher sales volume in the Asia Pacific region and Latin America, especially in higher margin businesses, as well as the effects of the Company’s financial performance initiatives, especially in Europe. The higher margins in 2003 were primarily due to the higher volume in the Asia Pacific region as well as operating efficiencies experienced in most of the European businesses. Operating income in 2004, 2003 and 2002 included $4.5 million, $7.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of business realignment charges that were taken primarily to appropriately structure the European operations.

 

Industrial Segment order rates were higher throughout 2004 as virtually all markets experienced strengthening in end-user demand. The Company expects order entry levels in most markets of the Industrial North American operations to improve throughout 2005 reflecting the continuation of the broad-based recovery experienced in the second half of 2004 although the current level of order rates in all markets may not be sustainable throughout 2005. Operating income in the Industrial North American operations is expected to increase as a result of the higher sales volume and continued implementation of the Company’s financial performance initiatives. Industrial European operations in 2005 are anticipated to track closely with the Industrial North American operations. The Asia Pacific region and Latin American operations are expected to continue to improve as the Company continues to expand its operations into these regions with demand in substantially all markets expected to grow in 2005. As part of the Company’s financial performance initiatives, the recognition of additional business realignment charges may be required in 2005.

 

The increase in total Industrial Segment backlog from 2003 to 2004 is primarily due to higher order rates within most markets in both the Industrial North American and Industrial International businesses. The decrease in backlog from 2002 to 2003 results from shipments exceeding new order rates.

 

The increase in assets in 2004 was primarily due to current-year acquisitions and the effect of currency fluctuations. The increase in assets in 2003 for the Industrial Segment was primarily due to the effect of currency fluctuations partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment.

Sales in 2004 increased slightly primarily due to an upturn in commercial activity in late 2004 as well as higher volume in the military business throughout the year. The commercial upturn was the result of higher aircraft deliveries to low cost airlines and commuter airlines as well as an increase in aftermarket volume. The lower sales in 2003 was primarily due to a decline in both commercial original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and aftermarket volume, partially offset by an increase in military volume.

 

The lower margins in 2004 were primarily due to higher costs associated with employee benefit plans and product liability insurance partially offset by the higher commercial volume. The lower margins in 2003 were primarily due to lower sales in the commercial OEM and aftermarket businesses and higher costs associated with employee benefit plans and product liability insurance partially offset by an increase in volume in military business. Included in operating income in 2003 and 2002 were $2.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in business realignment charges primarily related to severance costs as the workforce was adjusted in response to declining commercial aircraft orders.

 

The increase in backlog in 2004 was primarily due to higher order rates being experienced in both the commercial and military businesses. Backlog remained flat in 2003 due to higher order rates in military business being offset by lower order rates in the commercial aircraft and regional jet market. The upward trend in commercial order rates experienced in the latter part of 2004 is expected to continue throughout 2005 as commercial airline carriers accept deliveries for new aircraft and once again place orders for spare parts for existing aircraft instead of using parts from inactive aircraft. Order rates in the military market are expected to remain steady in 2005.

 

The decline in assets in 2004 was primarily due to a decrease in inventory and property, plant and equipment partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable . The decline in 2003 was primarily due to a decline in accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment.

The Climate & Industrial Controls Segment produces motion-control systems and components for use in the refrigeration and air conditioning and transportation industries.

 

The slight sales increase in 2004 was primarily the result of the effect of foreign currency exchange rates and higher end-user demand in the commercial refrigeration and air conditioning market. Acquisitions and the effect of foreign currency exchange rates accounted for about one-half of the sales increase in 2003. Higher demand in the mobile and refrigeration and air conditioning markets accounted for the balance of the sales increase in 2003. Higher margins in 2004 and 2003 were primarily a result of the realization of benefits from business realignment actions. Margins in 2003 also benefited from the higher sales volume. Operating income in 2003 and 2002 includes $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of business realignment charges.

 

The decrease in assets in 2004 was due to a decline in inventory, accounts receivable and property, plant and equipment. The decrease in assets in 2003 was due to the effect of currency fluctuations.

The Other Segment consists of a business unit which designs and manufactures custom-engineered buildings and a business unit which develops and manufactures chemical car care products and maintenance equipment (the Company is actively soliciting offers for the sale of the latter business unit). In 2004 and 2002 the Company divested businesses included in the Other Segment which sold industrial lubricants and administered vehicle service contract programs and product-related service programs.

 

The increase in sales in 2004 was primarily due to the effect of foreign currency exchange rates as well as higher demand for custom engineered buildings. The decrease in sales in 2003 was primarily due to the 2002 divestiture of businesses which administered vehicle service contract programs and product-related service programs. The increase in margins in 2004 was primarily due to the higher sales volume. The increase in margins in 2003 was primarily due to operating efficiencies. Operating income in 2004, 2003 and 2002 included $1.0 million, $1.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of business realignment charges.

 

The decrease in assets in 2004 is primarily due to the business divestiture partially offset by the effect of currency fluctuations. The increase in assets in 2003 was primarily due to the effect of currency fluctuations.

 

Corporate assets decreased 4.5 percent in 2004 and increased 33.5 percent in 2003. The fluctuation in both years is primarily due to the level of cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable are primarily receivables due from customers for sales of product ($1,064.6 million at June 30, 2004 and $912.1 million at June 30, 2003). The current year increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to an increase in sales volume primarily in the Industrial North American and Industrial International operations. In addition, accounts receivable increased due to acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes. Days sales outstanding for the Company remained constant at 55 days in 2004 compared to 2003. The allowance for doubtful accounts in 2004 decreased $0.9 million from 2003.

 

Inventories decreased primarily due to a concerted effort to reduce inventory levels through the use of lean manufacturing across all segments of the Company with days supply of inventory on hand decreasing to 67 days in 2004 from 82 days in 2003. Inventories from acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes partially offset the inventory decline.

 

Plant and equipment , net of accumulated depreciation, decreased in 2004 as a result of depreciation expense exceeding capital expenditures, partially offset by acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes.

 

Investments and other assets increased primarily as a result of discretionary cash contributions made by the Company to its retirement and benefit plans.

 

Goodwill primarily increased as a result of current year acquisitions.

 

Intangible assets, net consist primarily of patents, trademarks and engineering drawings. Intangible assets, net increased primarily due to current year acquisitions.

 

Accounts payable, trade increased as a result of an increased level of purchasing across all segments of the Company to support the increase in customer orders.

 

Accrued domestic and foreign taxes increased to $124.5 million in 2004 from $65.1 million in 2003 primarily due to higher taxable income in 2004.

 

Pensions and other postretirement benefits decreased 11.6 percent in 2004. The change in this amount is explained further in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Deferred income taxes increased $58.2 million in 2004 primarily due to the tax effect related to the additional minimum pension liability recorded in 2004.

 

Other liabilities increased to $168.2 million in 2004 from $133.5 million in 2003 as a result of higher long-term incentive compensation accruals.

 

Shareholders’ equity - The effect of currency rate changes during the year caused a $34.5 million increase in Shareholders’ equity. These rate changes also caused significant increases in accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, plant and equipment, accounts payable, various accrual accounts and long-term debt.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities – The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in 2004 was primarily the result of an increase in net income partially offset by a decrease in working capital. Working capital decreased primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable resulting from a higher level of sales earned in the latter part of 2004.

 

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities – The significant increase in the amount of cash used in investing activities in 2004 is attributable to an increase in acquisition activity partially offset by an increase in proceeds from divestitures and a reduction in capital expenditures. The reduction in capital expenditures in 2004 can be attributed to the consolidation of manufacturing facilities and lean manufacturing initiatives. The level of capital expenditures is expected to be approximately three and one-half percent of sales in 2005. Refer to Note 2 on page 13-22 for a summary of net assets of acquired companies at their respective acquisition dates.

 

Cash Flows From Financing Activities – In 2004, the Company decreased its outstanding borrowings by a net total of $415.4 million after a decrease of $145.8 million in 2003. The substantial level of cash flow from operating activities allowed the Company to incur a low level of borrowings to complete acquisitions in 2004.

 

The Company has the availability to issue securities with an aggregate initial offering price of $775 million under its universal shelf registration statement. Securities that may be issued under this shelf registration statement include debt securities, common stock, serial preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.

 

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

The Company is currently exploring several acquisition opportunities and additional borrowings may be used to finance acquisitions completed in 2005.

 

Common share activity in 2004 primarily involves the exercise of stock options and the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock for treasury. The purchase of the Company’s shares is done pursuant to a program to repurchase shares on the open market when the strike price is within a specific range and the systematic repurchase of up to $10 million in common shares each fiscal quarter.

 

Dividends have been paid for 216 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 48 fiscal years. The current annual dividend rate is $.76 per share.

 

As of June 30, 2004 the Company has committed lines of credit totaling $825 million through two multi-currency unsecured revolving credit agreements. The credit agreements support the Company’s commercial paper note program, which is rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s and F-1 by Fitch, Inc. These ratings are considered investment grade. The revolving credit agreements contain provisions that increase the facility fee of the credit agreement in the event the Company’s credit ratings are changed. A credit rating change would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreements nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

 

The Company seeks to minimize its total cost of borrowing and therefore uses its commercial paper note program as its primary source of working capital liquidity. The primary alternative source of borrowing for working capital liquidity is the committed lines of credit, which typically bear a higher cost of borrowing.

 

13-10


The Company’s revolving credit agreements and certain debt agreements contain certain financial and other covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the agreements for future borrowings. The most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to total capitalization be less than 50 percent. As of June 30, 2004, the ratio of debt to total capitalization was 24.9 percent. The Company is in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the agreements.

 

Based upon the Company’s past performance and current expectations, management believes the cash flows generated from future operating activities should provide adequate funds to support internal growth and continued improvements in the Company’s manufacturing facilities and equipment. The Company’s worldwide financial capabilities may be used to support planned growth as needed.

 

Contractual Obligations – The Company is obligated to make future payments in fixed amounts primarily under long-term debt and various lease agreements. The following table summarizes the Company’s fixed contractual obligations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in related foreign currencies. The total carrying and fair value of open contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of these arrangements is not material to the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

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 existing at June 30, 2004 by approximately $0.4 million.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities.

 

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.

 

13-11


Revenue Recognition – Substantially all of the Industrial Segment, the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment and the Other 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 to recognize a portion of its revenue. The percentage of completion method requires the use of estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts and for some contracts includes estimating costs related to aftermarket orders. The estimation of these costs requires substantial judgment on the part of management due to the duration of the contracts as well as the technical nature of the products involved. Adjustments to estimated costs are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve is established when the costs to complete a contract exceed the contract revenues.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill is tested for impairment, at the reporting unit level, on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill may exceed its fair value. A discounted cash flow model is used to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. This model requires the use of long-term planning forecasts and assumptions regarding industry specific economic conditions that are outside the control of the Company. Long-lived assets held for use are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use and eventual disposition is less than their carrying value. The long-term nature of these assets require the estimation of its cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration technological advances known at the time of the impairment test.

 

Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out basis for a majority of U.S. inventories and on the first-in, first-out basis for the balance of the Company’s inventories. Inventories have been reduced by an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories. The estimated allowance is based on management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales.

 

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions – The annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations related to the Company’s defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. This determination requires critical assumptions regarding the discount rate, long-term return on plan assets, increases in compensation levels, amortization periods for actuarial gains and losses and health care cost trends. Assumptions are determined based on Company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated each year as of the plan’s measurement date. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience could result in a material change in the annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations reported in the financial statements. For the Company’s domestic defined benefit plans, a one-half percentage point change in the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated to have a $6 million effect on pension expense and a one-half percentage point decrease in the discount rate is estimated to increase pension expense by $13 million.

 

Further information on pensions and postretirement benefits other than pensions is provided in Note 10 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, recoverability of deferred income tax benefits and accounts receivable reserves. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires management’s estimate and judgment with regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization. These loss reserves are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (FSP 106-2). FSP 106-2 provides that the measure of the accumulated benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement cost on or after the date of enactment should reflect the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act). The effect of the Act will be reflected in the measurement of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement cost in fiscal 2005 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Policies footnote except that the business segment results are prepared on a management basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company disaggregates financial information for internal review and decision-making.

 

(a) Corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents, domestic deferred income taxes, investments, benefit plan assets, headquarters facilities, assets held for sale and the major portion of the Company’s domestic data processing equipment.

 

(b) Includes value of net plant and equipment at the date of acquisition of acquired companies accounted for by the purchase method and the reclassification of assets previously held for sale (2004 - $50,860; 2003 - $11,370; 2002 - $160,632).

 

(c) Net sales are attributed to countries based on the location of the selling unit. North America includes the United States, Canada and Mexico. No country other than the United States represents greater than 10% of consolidated sales. Long-lived assets are comprised of property, plant and equipment based on physical location.

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 full-line manufacturer of motion-control products, including fluid power systems, electromechanical controls and related components. The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating income before Corporate general and administrative expenses, Interest expense and Income taxes.

 

The Company operates in two principal business segments: Industrial and Aerospace. 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 North American Industrial business represents the largest portion of the Company’s manufacturing plants and distribution networks and primarily services North America. The International Industrial operations provide Parker products and services to countries throughout Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

 

The Aerospace Segment produces hydraulic, fuel and pneumatic 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 Company also reports a Climate & Industrial Controls Segment and an Other Segment. The Climate & Industrial Controls Segment manufactures motion-control systems and components for use primarily in the refrigeration and air conditioning and transportation industries. The Other Segment consists of a business unit which designs and manufactures custom-engineered buildings and a business unit which develops and manufactures chemical car care products and maintenance equipment. In February 2004 and June 2002, the Company divested businesses included in the Other Segment which sold industrial lubricants and administered vehicle service contract programs and product-related service programs, respectively (See Note 2 for further discussion). The products in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment and the Other 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 four 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 significantly the risk that adverse changes 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 domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities. Within the Business Segment Information, intersegment and interarea sales are recorded at fair market value and are immaterial in amount.

 

13-19


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.

 

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.

 

Long-term Contracts - The Company enters into long-term contracts for the production of aerospace products and the manufacture of custom-engineered buildings. For financial statement purposes, revenues are recognized using the percentage-of-completion 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.

 

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; 10 years for machinery; seven years for equipment; and three to five years for vehicles and office equipment. Improvements, which extend the useful life of property, are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed. When property is 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. During 2003 and 2002 the Company recorded a charge of $2,565 ($.02 per share) and $4,973 ($.04 per share), respectively, related to an adjustment in an equity investment in a publicly traded Japanese company. Investments and Other Assets includes a prepaid pension cost at June 30, 2004 and 2003 of $371,819 and $354,330, respectively, and an intangible asset recognized in connection with an additional minimum pension liability of $95,076 and $100,294 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

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 engineering drawings and are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful life.

 

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.

 

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, 2004 and 2003 is immaterial to the financial position of the Company and the change in the accrual during 2004 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.

 

13-20


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

 

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts (forward contracts) and costless collar contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in related foreign currencies. These contracts are with major financial institutions and the risk of loss is considered remote. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

Gains or losses on forward contracts that hedge specific transactions are recognized in Net income, offsetting the underlying foreign currency gains or losses. Gains or losses on costless collar contracts are recognized in Net income when the spot rate of the contract falls outside the collar range.

 

In addition, the Company’s foreign locations, in the ordinary course of business, enter into financial guarantees, through financial institutions, which enable customers to be reimbursed in the event of nonperformance by the Company.

 

The total carrying and fair value of open contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of the above mentioned arrangements is not material.

 

Stock Options - In 2003 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” The Company continues to apply the intrinsic-value based method to account for stock options granted to employees or Directors to purchase common shares. The option price equals the market price of the underlying common shares on the date of grant, therefore no compensation expense is recognized. The Company does recognize compensation expense related to the issuance of restricted stock. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested stock awards:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (FSP 106-2). FSP 106-2 provides that the measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit cost on or after the date of enactment should reflect the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”). The effect of the Act will be reflected in the measurement of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement cost in fiscal 2005. The effect of the Act is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

 

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

 

13-21


2. Acquisitions and Net Assets Held for Sale and Divestitures

 

Acquisitions On February 12, 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of Denison International plc (Denison). Denison is an industrial manufacturer and service provider for highly engineered hydraulic fluid power systems and components. Annual sales for Denison, for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition, were approximately $180 million. Total purchase price for Denison (which had a cash balance of $64 million at the date of acquisition) was approximately $255 million in cash.

 

On July 16, 2001 the Company completed the acquisition of Dana Corporation’s Chelsea Products Division (Chelsea). Chelsea is a supplier of power take-offs and related auxiliary power devices for medium and heavy-duty mobile equipment. On August 31, 2001 the Company acquired the Aeroquip Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (AC&R) business from Eaton Corporation. AC&R produces mechanical controls and fluid systems for the residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration markets. On October 19, 2001 the Company acquired the assets of the global fluid management business of Dayco Industrial from MarkIV/BC Partners. The Dayco assets acquired include Imperial-Eastman products and a wide array of hydraulic and industrial hose and connectors. On February 1, 2002 the Company completed its acquisition of ITR SpA, a subsidiary of the SAIAG Group. ITR is a manufacturer of hoses, fittings and rubber compounds for hydraulic, industrial and oil and gas applications. On May 23, 2002 the Company acquired the assets of Camfil Farr’s Engine Air Filter business (Farr). Farr produces air-intake filtration products for heavy-duty off-road equipment, marine applications and power generation. Combined annual sales for these operations, for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition, were approximately $608 million. Total purchase price for these businesses was approximately $367 million in cash and $13 million in common stock.

 

All acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method, and results of operations for all acquisitions are included as of the respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price allocation for acquisitions in 2004, 2003 and 2002 are presented below. Some of the 2004 purchase price allocations are preliminary and may require subsequent adjustment.

Net Assets Held for Sale and Divestitures – In June 2004 the Company completed the divestiture of its Zenith Pump (Zenith) division. Zenith was part of the Industrial Segment for segment reporting purposes. In February 2004 the Company completed the divestiture of Wynn’s Industrie, an industrial lubricants unit of the Wynn’s Specialty Chemicals business. Wynn’s Industrie was part of the Other Segment for segment reporting purposes. In May 2003 the Company completed the divestiture of its United Aircraft Products (UAP) division. The UAP division was part of the Aerospace Segment for segment reporting purposes. In August 2001 the Company completed the divestiture of the metal forming business and in June 2002 completed the divestiture of the business units which administer vehicle service contract and product-related service programs. These businesses were part of the Other Segment for segment reporting purposes. The divestitures resulted in a gain of $11,070 ($6,223 after-tax or $.05 per share), $7,400 ($4,618 after-tax or $.04 per share) and $4,464 (no gain after-tax) in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and are reflected in (Gain) loss on disposal of assets in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The results of operations and net assets of the divested businesses were immaterial to the consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Company.

 

The Company is actively soliciting offers for the sale of the business unit which develops and manufactures chemical car care products and maintenance equipment. The results of operations and net assets of this business unit are immaterial to the consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Company.

 

3. Charges Related to Business Realignment

 

In January 2003 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. The implementation of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

In 2004 the Company recorded a $15,146 charge ($10,140 after-tax or $.09 per share) for the costs to structure its businesses in light of current and anticipated customer demand. The Company believes the realignment actions taken will positively impact future results of operations, but will have no material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital. The charge primarily related to severance costs attributable to approximately 1,200 employees in the Industrial Segment, 90 employees in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment, 15 employees in the Other Segment and 5 employees in the Aerospace Segment. A significant portion of the severance payments have been made. Of the pre-tax amount, $13,591 relates to the Industrial Segment, $443 relates to the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment, $1,003 relates to the Other Segment and $109 relates to the Aerospace Segment. The business realignment costs are primarily presented in the Cost of sales caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income for 2004.

 

In 2003 the Company recorded a $24,624 charge ($16,275 after-tax or $.14 per share) related to costs of structuring its businesses in response to current and anticipated customer demand. The Company believes the realignment actions taken will positively impact future results of operations, but will have no material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital. The business realignment charge primarily consists of severance costs of $16,237 and $8,387 of costs relating to the consolidation of manufacturing product lines. The severance costs are attributable to approximately 1,050 employees in the Industrial Segment, 210 employees in the Aerospace Segment and 50 employees in the Other Segment. All severance payments have been made as of June 30, 2004. Of the pre-tax amount, $18,715 relates to the Industrial Segment, $2,495 relates to the Aerospace Segment, $2,106 relates to the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment and $1,308 relates to the Other Segment. The business realignment charge is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income for 2003 in the following captions: $20,133 in Cost of sales; $992 in Selling, general and administrative expenses; and $3,499 in (Gain) loss on disposal of assets.

 

13-23


In 2002 the Company recorded a $37,352 charge ($24,466 after-tax or $.21 per share) related to costs of structuring its businesses in response to current and anticipated customer demand. The business realignment charge consists of severance costs of $22,578 and $14,774 of costs relating to the consolidation of manufacturing product lines, primarily asset impairments. The severance costs are attributable to approximately 1,050 employees in the Industrial Segment, 440 employees in the Aerospace Segment, 240 employees in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment and 80 employees in the Other segment. All severance payments were made as of June 30, 2003. The asset impairment portion relates to assets being held for sale and was calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeded their estimated selling price. Of the pre-tax amount, $25,654 relates to the Industrial Segment, $4,667 relates to the Aerospace Segment, $2,348 relates to the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment and $4,683 relates to the Other Segment. The business realignment charge is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income for 2002 in the following captions: $23,977 in Cost of sales; $3,987 in Selling, general and administrative expenses; and $9,388 in (Gain) loss on disposal of assets.

     2004

    2003

 

Postretirement benefits

     (20,227 )     (1,272 )
    


 


Total change in net deferred tax

   $ (61,347 )   $ 104,811  
    


 


 

At June 30, 2004, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets of $56,453 resulting from $329,834 in loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of realizing certain operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards and items of other comprehensive income. Some of the operating loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely and others can be carried forward from one to 19 years. The capital loss carryforward expires in five years. An increase in the valuation allowance of $5,261 was attributable to the Denison acquisition. The recognition of any future tax benefit resulting from a reduction in this portion of the valuation allowance will reduce any goodwill related to the Denison acquisition remaining at the time of the reduction.

 

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 $364,864, $321,479 and $267,093, at June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

5. Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share have been computed according to SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock 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 options. The computation of net income per share was as follows:

 

     2004

   2003

   2002

Numerator:

                    

Net income applicable to common shares

   $ 345,783    $ 196,272    $ 130,150
    

  

  

Denominator:

                    

Basic - weighted average common shares

     117,707,772      116,381,880      115,408,872

Increase in weighted average from dilutive effect of exercise of stock options

     1,298,696      512,626      651,847
    

  

  

Diluted - weighted average common shares, assuming exercise of stock options

     119,006,468      116,894,506      116,060,719
    

  

  

Basic earnings per share

   $ 2.94    $ 1.69    $ 1.13

Diluted earnings per share

   $ 2.91    $ 1.68    $ 1.12

 

For 2004, 2003 and 2002, 0.3 million, 3.1 million, and 1.4 million common shares, respectively, subject to stock options 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 cost method were approximately 36% and 38%, respectively, of total inventories in 2004 and 2003. The current cost of these inventories exceeds their valuation determined on the LIFO basis by $152,579 in 2004 and $151,757 in 2003. Progress payments of $14,100 in 2004 and $13,736 in 2003 are netted against inventories.

 

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The Company conducts an annual impairment test as required by FASB Statement No. 142. The annual impairment test performed in 2003 resulted in no impairment loss being recognized. Goodwill impairment tests performed in 2004 and 2002 resulted in an impairment charge of $1,033 ($682 after-tax or $.01 per share) and $39,516 ($37,137 after-tax or $.32 per share), respectively. The 2004 impairment charge was recorded in the Industrial Segment. Of the 2002 impairment charge, $28,354 was recorded in the Industrial Segment and $11,162 was recorded in the Other Segment. The Company uses a discounted cash flow analysis for purposes of estimating the fair value of a reporting unit. The impairment charges primarily resulted from declining market conditions and lower future growth potential relative to expectations at the acquisition date for the reporting units involved.

8. Financing Arrangements

 

The Company has committed lines of credit totaling $825,000 through two multi-currency unsecured revolving credit agreements with a group of banks, all of which was available at June 30, 2004. One agreement, totaling $200,000, expires September 2004, and the other, totaling $625,000, expires September 2008. The interest on borrowings is based upon the terms of each specific borrowing and is subject to market conditions. These agreements also require facility fees of up to 9/100ths of one percent of the commitment per annum at the Company’s present rating level. Covenants in some of the agreements include a limitation on the Company’s ratio of debt to total capitalization. It is the Company’s policy to reduce the amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit agreements, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding.

 

The Company has other lines of credit, primarily short-term, aggregating $255,925 from various foreign banks, of which $248,498 was available at June 30, 2004. Most of these agreements are renewed annually.

 

As of June 30, 2004 the Company has $775,000 available under its universal shelf registration statement.

 

The Company is authorized to sell up to $825,000 of short-term commercial paper notes, rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s and F-1 by Fitch, Inc. At June 30, 2004 and 2003 there were no commercial paper notes outstanding.

 

Commercial paper notes outstanding, along with short-term borrowings from foreign banks, primarily make up the balance of Notes payable. The balance and weighted average interest rate of the Notes payable at June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $18,468 and 1.6% and $27,422 and 2.7%, respectively.

Principal amounts of Long-term debt payable in the five years ending June 30, 2005 through 2009 are $16,730, $378,991, $37,617, $42,742 and $6,612, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s Long-term debt (excluding leases) was $969,901 and $1,356,034 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and was estimated to have a fair value of $1,015,761 and $1,460,007, at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The fair value of the Long-term debt was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Some of the debt agreements include a limitation on the Company’s ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets and debt to total capitalization.

 

ESOP Loan Guarantee - In 1999 the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was leveraged when the ESOP Trust borrowed $112,000 and used the proceeds to purchase 3,055,413 shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company’s treasury. The loan is unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and therefore the unpaid balance of the borrowing is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Long-term debt. A corresponding amount representing Unearned compensation is recorded as a deduction from Shareholders’ equity.

 

Lease Commitments - Future minimum rental commitments as of June 30, 2004, under noncancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates, are as follows: 2005-$49,434; 2006-$34,370; 2007-$22,954; 2008-$15,389; 2009-$10,951 and after 2009-$17,530.

 

Rental expense in 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $66,586, $64,571 and $61,528, respectively.

 

13-28


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 uses a June 30 measurement date for a majority of its pension plans. The Company also has contractual arrangements with 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.

 

Pension cost for all plans was $109,160, $58,623 and $32,004 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Pension cost for all defined benefit plans accounted for using SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” was as follows:

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $1,958,613 and $1,781,297 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $2,137,471, $1,922,560 and $1,582,576, respectively, at June 30, 2004, and $1,971,980, $1,759,956 and $1,293,176, respectively, at June 30, 2003.

 

If the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets, accounting rules require that the Company recognize a liability that is at least equal to the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation. Accordingly, a minimum pension liability of $565,397 and $697,717 has been recognized at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The net of tax effect of recording the minimum pension liability on shareholders’ equity was an increase of $94,513 in 2004 and a decrease of $297,487 in 2003. The minimum pension liability could be reversed should the fair value of plan assets exceed the accumulated benefit obligation at the end of 2005.

 

The Company expects to contribute approximately $95 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2005. The majority of the expected contribution is discretionary. Estimated future benefit payments in the five years ending June 30, 2005 through 2009 are $88,541, $92,710, $98,743, $105,154 and $111,704, respectively and $660,129 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2010 through June 30, 2014.

 

The assumptions used to measure net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s significant defined benefit plans are:   
     2004

    2003

    2002

 

U.S. defined benefit plans

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

 

  

     2004

    2003

       

U.S. defined benefit plans

                  

Discount rate

   6.25 %   6.25 %

Discount rate

   2 to 6.25 %   2 to 6.75 %      

Average increase in compensation

   1 to 4 %   2 to 3.5 %      

 

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.

 

13-30


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

 

     2004

    2003

 

Equity securities

   66 %   65 %

Debt securities

   31 %   33 %

Other

   3 %   2 %
    

 

     100 %   100 %
    

 

 

The investment strategy for the defined benefit pension plan assets focuses on achieving prudent actuarial funding ratios while maintaining acceptable levels of risk. This strategy requires an investment portfolio that is broadly diversified across various asset classes and investment managers. The current weighted-average target asset allocation is 63% equity securities, 35% debt securities and 2% other . At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the plans’ assets included Company stock with market values of $71,293 and $50,346, respectively.

 

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

 

     2004

   2003

   2002

Allocated shares

     9,453,916      9,440,648      9,023,664

Total shares held by the ESOP

     10,769,730      11,284,760      11,407,965
    

  

  

Fair value of suspense shares

   $ 78,238    $ 77,434    $ 113,946
    

  

  

 

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 are used to repay the loan, and shares are released from the suspense account as the principal and interest are paid. The unreleased portion of the shares in the ESOP suspense account is not considered outstanding for purposes of earnings per share computations. Company contributions to the ESOP, recorded as compensation and interest expense, were $37,208 in 2004, $37,733 in 2003 and $38,449 in 2002. Dividends earned by the suspense shares and interest income within the ESOP totaled $1,245 in 2004, $1,580 in 2003 and $1,965 in 2002.

 

In addition to shares within the ESOP, as of June 30, 2004 employees have elected to invest in 2,196,871 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.

Effect on total of service and interest cost components

   $ 991    $ (796 )

Effect on postretirement benefit obligation

   $ 11,189    $ (9,223 )

 

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. Deferred compensation expense was $20,006, $7,127 and $1,585 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

The Company has invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies to assist in meeting the obligation under these programs, including a $55 million cash contribution in 2004. The policies are held in a rabbi trust and are recorded as assets of the Company.

12. Stock Incentive Plans

 

Employees’ Stock Options - The Company’s incentive plan provides for the granting of nonqualified options to officers and key employees to purchase shares of common stock at a price not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the dates options are granted. Outstanding options generally are exercisable either one or two years after the date of grant and expire no more than ten years after grant.

 

The Company derives a tax deduction measured by the excess of the market value over the option price at the date nonqualified options are exercised. The related tax benefit is credited to Additional capital.

 

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company continues to account for its stock option and stock incentive plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and makes no charges against capital with respect to options granted. See Note 1 on page 13-21 for disclosure of pro forma information regarding Net income and Earnings per share determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method.

 

The fair values for the significant options granted in 2004, 2003 and 2002 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     Aug/03

    Aug/02

Risk-free interest rate

   3.4 %   3.3 %   4.6 %

Restricted Stock - Restricted stock was issued under the Company’s 1993 Stock Incentive Program to certain key employees under the Company’s 2001-02-03, 2000-01-02 and 1999-00-01 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 3-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 2002-03-04 LTIP, a payout of 30,727 shares of restricted stock, from the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Program, will be issued to certain key employees in 2005. The balance of the 2002-03-04 LTIP payout will be made as deferred cash compensation (if elected by the participant) or in cash. The total payout, valued at $5,378, has been accrued over the three years of the plan.

 

In addition, non-employee members of the Board of Directors have been given the opportunity to receive all or a portion of their fees in the form of restricted stock. These shares vest ratably, on an annual basis, over the term of office of the director. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, 9,382, 12,679 and 3,167 shares, respectively, were issued in lieu of directors’ fees.

 

13-35


Non-employee Directors’ Stock Options - In August 1996, the Company adopted a stock option plan for non-employee directors 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 options are granted. Outstanding options are exercisable either one or two years after the date of grant and expire no more than ten years after grant.

13. Shareholders’ Protection Rights Agreement

 

The Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one Right for each share of Common Stock outstanding on February 17, 1997 in relation to the Company’s Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement. As of June 30, 2004, 119,483,990 shares of Common Stock 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 Stock, all holders of Rights, except an acquiring entity, would be entitled to purchase, at an exercise price of $100, a value of $200 of Common Stock of the Company or an acquiring entity, or at the option of the Board, to exchange each Right for one share of Common Stock. The Rights remain in existence until February 17, 2007, unless earlier redeemed (at one cent per Right), exercised or exchanged under the terms of the agreement. In the event of an unfriendly business combination attempt, the Rights will cause substantial dilution to the person attempting the business combination. The 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 Rights may be redeemed.

 

14. Research and Development

 

Research and development costs amounted to $143,096 in 2004, $122,710 in 2003 and $109,090 in 2002. Customer reimbursements included in the total cost for each of the respective years were $48,435, $29,561 and $13,517. Costs include those costs related to independent research and development as well as customer reimbursed and unreimbursed development programs.

15. Contingencies

 

The Company is involved in various litigation arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings based on product liability claims, workers’ compensation claims and alleged violations of various environmental laws. The Company is self-insured in the U.S. for health care, workers’ compensation, general liability and product liability up to predetermined amounts, above which third party insurance applies. The Company purchases third party product liability insurance for products manufactured by its international operations and for products that are used in aerospace applications. 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.

 

Environmental - The Company is currently responsible for environmental remediation at 28 manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other companies, at two off-site waste disposal facilities and three regional sites.

 

As of June 30, 2004, the Company has a reserve of $20,361 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 $3,025 for discounting, primarily at a 4.5 percent discount rate, a portion of the costs at 26 locations to operate and maintain remediation treatment systems as well as gauge treatment system effectiveness through monitoring and sampling over periods up to 30 years. The significant increase in the environmental reserve from June 30, 2003 is a result of the addition of the environmental liabilities and corresponding environmental reserves from the Denison acquisition.

 

The Company’s estimated total liability for the above mentioned sites ranges from a minimum of $20,361 to a maximum of $60,439. 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.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

of Parker Hannifin Corporation:

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parker Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
