PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

 

 

 

1. Management representation

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2009, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and cash flows for the three months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These include the adoption of new accounting rules regarding noncontrolling interests.

The Company has evaluated for disclosure subsequent events that have occurred up to November 3, 2009, the date of the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

 

2. New accounting pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) new guidance regarding business combinations. This guidance changed the accounting for business combinations both during the period of acquisition and in subsequent periods. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance requiring detailed disclosures regarding the investment strategies, fair value measurements, and concentrations of risk of plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2009, and the Company has not yet determined the impact it will have on the Company’s retirement benefits disclosures.

 

3. 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 as of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009 is immaterial to the financial position of the Company and the change in the accrual for both the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter was immaterial to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

 

- 6 -


4. Earnings per share

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

     Three Months Ended
September 30,
     2009    2008

Numerator:

     

Net income attributable to common shareholders

   $ 73,493    $ 250,176

Denominator:

     

Basic - weighted average common shares

     160,629,291      164,415,418

Increase in weighted average from dilutive effect of equity-based awards

     1,411,494      2,497,798
             

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

     162,040,785      166,913,216
             

Basic earnings per share

   $ .46    $ 1.52

Diluted earnings per share

   $ .45    $ 1.50

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, 10,031,236 and 3,645,525 common shares, respectively, subject to equity-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

 

5. Share repurchase program

The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase an amount of common shares each fiscal year equal to the greater of 7.5 million shares or five percent of the shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal year. Repurchases are funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings, and the shares are initially held as treasury stock. The Company repurchased 105,930 shares of its common stock at an average price of $47.20 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 under this program.

 

6. Business realignment charges

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded a $19.3 million charge for the costs to structure its businesses in light of current and anticipated customer demand. The charge primarily consists of severance costs related to plant closures as well as general work force reductions implemented by various operating units throughout the world. The Company believes the realignment actions will positively impact future results of operations but will have no material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital. The Industrial Segment recognized $17.0 million of the total charge primarily for severance costs related to approximately 820 employees and the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment recognized $2.3 million of the total charge primarily for severance costs related to approximately 235 employees. The charge is presented primarily in the Cost of sales caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, approximately $5.9 million in severance payments have been made with the remaining payments expected to be made by June 30, 2010.

 

- 7 -


6. Business realignment charges, continued

Additional charges to be recognized in future periods related to these specific actions are not expected to be significant. Business realignment charges were not material for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

7. Equity

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB’s new guidance regarding the accounting for noncontrolling interests. The new rules require the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is included in Net income on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Changes in equity for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2009 are as follows:

7. Equity, continued

With regards to other comprehensive income for shareholders’ equity, foreign currency translation is net of taxes of $9,995 and $20,938 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. Retirement benefits plan activity is net of taxes of $5,022 and $4,775 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. Net unrealized (loss) relates to marketable equity securities and cash flow hedging and is net of tax of $20 and $865 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.

 

8. Goodwill and intangible assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended September 30, 2009 are as follows:

   Aerospace

   Climate &

   Total

“Goodwill adjustments” primarily represented final adjustments to the purchase price allocation during the twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition date and primarily involved the valuation of income tax liabilities.

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, as of December 31, and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not exceed its fair value. No such events or circumstances occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

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

10. Income taxes

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $150,129. The total amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $127,263. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $12,801.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is no longer subject to examinations of its federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for fiscal years through 2005. All significant state and local and foreign tax returns have been examined for fiscal years through 2001. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the IRS examination for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 will be settled. The Company anticipates that within the next 12 months the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to income inclusion items, loss deductions and loss carryforwards may be reduced by an amount up to $64 million due to the settlement of examinations and the expiration of statutes of limitation.

 

11. Fair value measurement

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB’s new guidance relating to fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The adoption of this provision did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments as well as obligations under notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Investments and Notes payable approximate fair value. The carrying value of Long-term debt (excluding leases) was $1,912,541 and $1,889,844 at September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively, and was estimated to have a fair value of $1,997,106 and $1,899,246 at September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The fair value of 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.

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

 

     Total    Quoted Prices

   Significant Other

     107,858      107,858

     3,088         3,088   

The fair value of derivatives is calculated with a model that utilizes market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies. Available for sale securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. The Company has established nonqualified deferred compensation programs which permit officers, directors and certain management employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pre-tax basis, until their termination of employment. Changes in the value of the compensation deferred under these programs are recognized based on the fair value of the participant’s investment elections.

12. Contingencies

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

Parker ITR S.r.l. (Parker ITR), a subsidiary acquired on January 31, 2002, has been the subject of a number of lawsuits and regulatory investigations, which are more fully described in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Each of these lawsuits and regulatory investigations was also described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The status of these lawsuits and regulatory investigations has not significantly changed since June 30, 2009. No additional accruals were recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 relating to these lawsuits and regulatory investigations. The Company has made all required payments as of September 30, 2009 and has a remaining reserve of $2.9 million for future losses relating to these matters. Legal expenses related to these matters are being expensed as incurred and were insignificant in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

FORM 10-Q

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

AND COMPARABLE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

OVERVIEW

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

The Company’s order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders. The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a strong correlation to the Company’s future order rates are as follows:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region around the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 indicates the opposite. The PMI for the United States at the end of September 2009 was 52.6 and the PMI for the Eurozone countries at the end of September 2009 was 49.3. The PMI for the United States and the Eurozone countries have both sequentially increased from their June 2009 levels and the Company expects the sequential increase to continue in the short term, though beyond that period the PMI levels are difficult to predict.

With respect to the aerospace market, aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles have declined approximately four percent from their comparable fiscal 2009 levels. The Company anticipates that Department of Defense spending in fiscal 2010 will be about four percent higher than the 2009 level.

With respect to the North American residential air conditioning market, housing starts in September 2009 were approximately 28 percent lower than housing starts in September 2008. The Company anticipates the level of housing starts in fiscal 2010 will continue to be well below typical historical levels.

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

 

- 13 -


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

Despite the current economic conditions, the financial condition of the Company remains strong. The Company continues to generate substantial cash flows from operations, has controlled capital spending and has proactively managed working capital, with particular attention to collecting receivables from customers in financial difficulty. The Company has been able to borrow needed funds at affordable interest rates and currently has a debt to debt-equity ratio of 32.5 percent.

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

 

   

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

 

   

Marketing systems solutions for customer applications;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

Expanding the Company’s vast distribution network.

Although the Company did not complete any acquisitions during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, acquisitions will continue to be considered from time to time to the extent there is a strong strategic fit, while at the same time, maintaining the Company’s strong financial position. The Company will also continue to assess the strategic fit of its existing businesses and initiate efforts to divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term fit for the Company. Future business divestitures could have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the Consolidated Statement of Income, Results by Business Segment, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased 27.0 percent over the prior-year first quarter reflecting lower volume experienced in all Segments, with the largest decline in net sales being experienced in the Industrial Segment. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months contributed approximately $76 million in net sales and the effect of currency rate changes reduced net sales by $46 million.

Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies as well as higher business realignment charges recorded in the current-year quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to the lower sales volume as well as lower incentive compensation.

Interest expense for the current-year quarter decreased 8.4 percent from the prior-year first quarter primarily due to lower average debt outstanding in the current-year quarter as well as lower interest rates on commercial paper borrowings.

Other (income) expense, net in the current-year quarter included income of $3.2 million related to the restructuring of our executive life insurance program. The prior-year quarter included a $7.7 million expense related to an investment and a $1.2 million expense related to a litigation settlement.

Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter was higher than the prior-year quarter primarily due to the recording of discrete tax items related to the settlement of tax audits. The Company expects the effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 to be approximately 30 percent.

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

Excluding the effects of acquisitions and currency exchange rates, the decrease in Industrial North American sales reflects lower demand experienced from distributors and end-users in virtually all markets, particularly in the construction equipment, heavy-duty truck, farm and agriculture equipment, and machine tool markets. The decline in Industrial International sales is primarily attributed to lower end-user demand experienced across most markets, with the largest decline in volume being experienced in Europe.

The decrease in both Industrial North American and Industrial International margins is primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies as well as higher business realignment expenses in the current-year quarter.

Included in Industrial North American operating income are business realignment charges of $4.7 million and $0.9 million in the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter, respectively. Included in Industrial International operating income are business realignment charges of $12.3 million and $0.6 million in the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter, respectively. The business realignment expenses consist primarily of severance costs resulting from plant closures as well as general reductions in the work force. The Company anticipates realizing cost savings resulting from these severance costs of approximately $14 million in fiscal 2010 and $20 million in fiscal 2011. The amount of savings that is actually realized may be lower than expected if the Company needs to hire employees in the future as a result of an increase in end-user demand. The Company expects to continue to take the actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Industrial Segment. Such actions may include the necessity to record additional business realignment charges in fiscal 2010, the timing and amount of which has not been finalized at this time.

The decrease in backlog from the prior-year quarter is primarily due to lower order rates in both the Industrial North American and Industrial International businesses. The increase in backlog from the June 30, 2009 amount of $1,199.6 million is primarily due to higher order rates experienced in the Industrial International businesses compared with order rates in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company anticipates Industrial North American sales for fiscal 2010 will decrease between 7.8 percent and 11.8 percent from the fiscal 2009 level and Industrial International sales for fiscal 2010 will decrease between 8.1 percent and 13.1 percent from the fiscal 2009 level. The lower sales levels in fiscal 2010 are primarily due to lower end-user demand expected in most markets. Industrial North American operating margins in fiscal 2010 are expected to range from 9.9 percent to 9.6 percent and Industrial International operating margins are expected to range from 6.7 percent to 6.2 percent. The lower Industrial International margin in fiscal 2010 primarily results from manufacturing inefficiencies.

Operating income, as a percent of sales

     12.7     14.2

Backlog

   $ 1,496.4      $ 1,736.6   

The decrease in net sales in the Aerospace Segment is primarily due to a decrease in both commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket volume partially offset by higher military OEM and aftermarket volume. The decline in margin was primarily due to the lower sales volume partially offset by lower engineering development and operating costs.

The decrease in backlog from the prior-year quarter and the June 30, 2009 amount of $1,558.5 million was primarily due to lower order rates in the commercial OEM businesses. For fiscal 2010, sales are expected to decrease between 7.8 percent and 8.6 percent from the fiscal 2009 level primarily due to anticipated lower commercial OEM volume. Operating margins are expected to range from 11.4 percent to 11.0 percent. Further reductions in commercial aftermarket volume in future product mix and higher than expected new product development costs could result in lower margins.

Climate & Industrial Controls Segment

Operating income, as a percent of sales

     5.6     6.1

Backlog

   $ 121.5      $ 139.9   

The decrease in sales in the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment is primarily due to lower end-user demand in the residential air conditioning, heavy-duty truck and automotive markets. Current-year quarter sales reflect higher volume resulting from various governmental incentive programs in the automotive market. The effect of exchange rates reduced net sales by $6 million in the current-year quarter. Margins in the current-year quarter were lower than the prior-year level primarily due to the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies. Included in operating income are business realignment charges of $2.3 million and $0.6 million for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter, respectively. The business realignment expenses primarily relate to severance costs resulting from plant closures. The Company expects to realize cost savings resulting from the severance costs incurred in connection with the plant closures of approximately $2 million in fiscal 2010 and $3 million in fiscal 2011. The amount of savings that is actually realized may be lower than expected if the Company needs to hire employees in the future as a result of an increase in end-user demand. The Company expects to continue to take the actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment. Such actions may include the necessity to record additional business realignment charges in fiscal 2010, the timing and amount of which has not been finalized at this time.

The decrease in backlog from the prior-year quarter and the June 30, 2009 amount of $127.2 million is primarily due to lower orders in the residential air conditioning market. An increase in order rates in the automotive market in the current-year quarter helped to partially offset the backlog decline from June 30,

 

- 17 -


2009. For fiscal 2010, sales are expected to decrease between 10.5 percent and 12.9 percent from the fiscal 2009 level and operating margins are expected to range from 4.0 percent to 3.2 percent.

Corporate and Other

Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to $26.3 million in the current-year quarter compared to $40.4 million in the prior-year quarter. As a percent of sales, corporate general and administrative expenses for the current-year quarter decreased to 1.2 percent compared to 1.3 percent in the prior-year quarter. The lower expense in the current-year quarter is primarily due to lower incentive compensation expenses.

Other expense (in the Business Segment Results) included the following:

Accounts receivable are primarily receivables due from customers for sales of product ($1,315 million at September 30, 2009 and $1,280 million at June 30, 2009). Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable increased to 54 days from 53 days at June 30, 2009. The Company believes that its receivables are collectible and appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts have been recorded.

Inventories increased primarily due to foreign currency rate changes. The Company continues to make a concerted effort to match inventory levels with current customer demand. Days supply of inventory was 77 days at September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009.

 

- 18 -


Notes payable decreased since June 30, 2009 primarily due to payments made to reduce commercial paper borrowings.

Accounts payable, trade increased slightly from the June 30, 2009 balance as the Company continues to uphold a strong budgetary control environment in the current economic climate.

Accrued payrolls and other compensation decreased primarily due to the payment during the current-year quarter of incentive compensation amounts that had been accrued for as of June 30, 2009.

Accrued domestic and foreign taxes increased primarily due to the timing of tax payments.

Due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar, foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in an increase in Shareholders’ equity of $138 million during the current-year quarter. The translation adjustments primarily increased the balances of Accounts receivable, Inventories, Plant and equipment, Goodwill, Intangible assets, net and Long-term debt.

Cash flows from operating activities - The decrease in cash flow from operating activities is primarily due to lower Net income offset by an increase in cash provided from working capital. Cash flow from working capital increased due to lower inventory and accounts receivable levels offset by a decrease in accounts payable. The Company continues to manage working capital requirements, especially inventory.

Cash flow used in investing activities - Net cash used in investing activities decreased primarily due to no acquisition activity in the current-year quarter and decreased capital spending. Near-term economic uncertainties resulted in the Company reducing its acquisition activity and limiting capital expenditures.

Cash flow used in financing activities - In the prior year, the Company used its commercial paper borrowings to fund acquisition activity and share repurchases. The Company has been focused on repaying debt during the current-year quarter resulting in no acquisition activity and a significantly lower level of share repurchases.

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

The Company has a line of credit totaling $1,500 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $1,260 million was available as of September 30, 2009. The credit agreement expires September 2012; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year

 

- 19 -


extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. A portion of the credit agreement supports the Company’s commercial paper note program, which is rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s and F-1 by Fitch Ratings. These ratings are considered investment grade. The revolving credit agreement requires a facility fee of 4.5/100ths of one percent of the commitment per annum at the Company’s present rating level. The revolving credit agreement contains provisions that increase the facility fee of the credit agreement in the event the Company’s credit ratings are lowered. A lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

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

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived assets - Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. For the Company, a reporting unit is one level below the operating segment level. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective reporting unit, which the Company has consistently estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The Company believes that the use of a discounted cash flow model results in the most accurate calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value since the market value for a reporting unit is not readily available. The discounted cash flow analysis requires several assumptions, including future sales growth and operating margin levels, as well as assumptions regarding future industry specific market conditions. Each reporting unit regularly prepares discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses. The Company has consistently used a discount rate commensurate with its cost of capital, adjusted for inherent business risks and has consistently used a terminal growth factor of 2.5 percent. The Company also reconciles the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units as derived from the discounted cash flow analyses to the Company’s overall market capitalization.

The Company continually monitors its reporting units for impairment indicators and updates assumptions used in the most recent calculation of the fair value of a reporting unit as appropriate. The results of the fiscal 2009 annual goodwill impairment test performed indicated that no goodwill impairment existed. However, eight reporting units with an aggregate goodwill balance of $731.7 million had an estimated fair value that the Company determined was not significantly in excess of their carrying value from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective. The Company compared the actual sales growth to the planned sales growth for these eight reporting units for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Five of the eight reporting units, with an aggregate goodwill balance of $434.3 million, experienced lower sales growth than what had been planned for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company currently expects

 

- 20 -


the actual fiscal 2010 sales growth for all its reporting units, including the five reporting units whose sales growth was below their planned growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, will be at least equal to their planned fiscal 2010 sales growth. One reporting unit, with a goodwill balance of $1.9 million, experienced a level of sales growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 that was below the planned sales growth by such a magnitude that if the same level of sales growth shortfall were to continue for the balance of fiscal 2010, the current fair value of the reporting unit may fall below its carrying value. The Company will continue to closely monitor the financial performance of this reporting unit during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

If the current economic downturn worsens or the expected recovery is significantly delayed beyond what the Company anticipates, it is possible that the estimated fair value of certain reporting units could fall below their carrying value resulting in the necessity to conduct additional goodwill impairment tests.

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

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance requiring detailed disclosures regarding the investment strategies, fair value measurements, and concentrations of risk of plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2009, and the Company has not yet determined the impact it will have on the Company’s retirement benefits disclosures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

Among other factors which may affect future performance are:

 

   

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

 

   

uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion or integration of acquisitions,

 

   

threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism,

 

   

uncertainties surrounding the ultimate resolution of outstanding legal proceedings, including the outcome of any appeals,

 

   

competitive market conditions and resulting effects on sales and pricing,

 

   

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

 

- 21 -


   

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

 

   

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

The Company makes these statements as of the date of this disclosure, and undertakes no obligation to update them.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

The contracts are recognized on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The gain or loss on the adjustment to fair value is reported in Net income. The total fair value and carrying amount and any risk to the Company as a result of these arrangements is not material to the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

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

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 . Legal Proceedings . Parker ITR S.r.l. (Parker ITR), a subsidiary acquired on January 31, 2002, has been the subject of a number of lawsuits and regulatory investigations since April 27, 2007, when a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida issued a subpoena to Parker ITR and the Company requiring the production of documents, in particular documents related to communications with competitors and customers related to Parker ITR’s business unit that manufactures marine hose, typically used in oil transfer. The lawsuits and investigations relate to allegations that for a period of up to 21 years, the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose conspired with competitors in unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States and in other jurisdictions.

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

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

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

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

 

- 23 -


In Korea, the Korean Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) submitted several questionnaires to Parker ITR in connection with their investigation of Parker ITR’s marine hose bidding activities in Korea from 1999 to May 2, 2007. Parker ITR responded to each questionnaire and cooperated with the KFTC. The KFTC issued its final report on July 2, 2009, which imposed a fine of KRW 42 million (which, as of July 31, 2009, was approximately $34 thousand) on Parker ITR. Parker ITR has paid this fine.

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

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

Counsel for Parker ITR accepted service related to the ACCC’s statement of claim and hearings have been held in the matter. The ACCC appears to be investigating conduct for the period beginning as early as 1994 through 2007. Parker ITR continues to cooperate with the ACCC.

The Company and Parker ITR have reached a settlement of the class action litigation in the United States, which is subject to court approval. On August 4, 2009, the court granted plaintiff’s motions for class certification and preliminary approval of the settlement agreement entered into by the Company and Parker ITR. On February 17, 2009, Parker ITR entered into a separate agreement to settle possible private causes of action outside the United States.

(1) On August 16, 1990, the Company publicly announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to 3.0 million shares of its common stock. From time to time, the Board of Directors has adjusted the number of shares authorized for repurchase under this program. On January 28, 2009, the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the number of shares authorized for repurchase under this program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was equal to 10 million. Subject to this overall limitation, each fiscal year the Company is authorized to repurchase an amount of common shares equal to the greater of 7.5 million shares or five percent of the shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal year. There is no expiration date for this program.

 

(2) Includes 64,453 shares surrendered to the Company by certain executive officers in order to satisfy tax withholding obligations on restricted stock issued under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Awards

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE

RETIREMENT BENEFITS PROGRAM

Adopted: 07/21/2008

Effective: 07/21/2008

[Annotated for amendment(s) adopted through 07/31/09]

WHEREAS, by instrument effective as of January 1, 1980, this supplemental executive retirement benefits program (the “Program”) was established for the benefit of certain employees of Parker-Hannifin Corporation and their beneficiaries; and

WHEREAS, the Program has been amended and restated from time to time; and

WHEREAS, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company desires to amend and restate the terms, provisions, and conditions of the Program;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Program is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as of July 21, 2008 and such other dates as specified herein to reflect the requirements of the American Jobs Creation Act (the “Act”) with respect to the terms and conditions applicable to amounts that are accrued and vested after December 31, 2004 and subject to Section 409A of the Code. All benefits accrued and vested under the Program prior to January 1, 2005 and any additional amounts that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code (the “Grandfathered Amounts”) shall continue to be subject solely to the terms of the separate Program as in effect on December 31, 2004. The Program will be administered in a manner consistent with the Act and Section 409A of the Code and any Regulations or other guidance thereunder and any provision in the Program that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be void and without effect. Notwithstanding anything else in the Program to the contrary, nothing shall be read to preclude the Program from using any transition rules permitted under the Act, provided that no action will be permitted with respect to the Grandfathered Amounts that will subject such amounts to Section 409A of the Code.

 

1. Definitions

Except as otherwise required by the context, the terms used in this Program shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth.

 

  (a) Actuarial Equivalent or Actuarially Equivalent : An amount that is the actuarial equivalent (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(ii) of the Regulations) of a value using the actuarial assumptions specified for the relevant purpose under the Consolidated Plan.

 

  (b) Actuarial Value : As defined in the PRP.

 

- 1 -


  (c) Affiliated Group : The Company and all entities with which the Company would be considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code, provided that in applying Sections 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Code for purposes of determining an Affiliated Group of corporations under Section 414(b) of the Code, the language “at least 50 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Sections 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Code, and in applying Section 1.414(c)-2 of the Treasury Regulations for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code, “at least 50 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in that regulation. Such term shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the definition of “service recipient” contained in Section 409A of the Code.

 

  (d) Beneficiary : The person or persons or entity designated as such in accordance with Article 8 of the Program.

 

  (e) Board : The Board of Directors of the Company.

 

  (f) Business Combination : 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.

 

  (g) Change in Control : The occurrence of one of the following events:

 

  (1)

A change in ownership of the Company, which occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company or a change in the effective control of the Company (within the meaning of Section 1(g)(2) of this Program). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares 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 stock of the Company that increases the

 

- 2 -


 

percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an acquisition of stock of the Company described in Section 1(g)(1) or 1(g)(2)(i) above 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 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; or (d) the acquisition of stock of the Company from the Company.

9. General Provisions

9.01     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 Program.

  (a) the specific reasons for such denial;

 

  (b) a specific reference to the provisions of the Program on which the denial is based;

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. The petition shall state the specific reasons which the Participant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits.

- 25 -


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 Program on which the decision is based. If 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 Beneficiary.

9.03     ERISA Plan . The Program 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.

9.04     Trust . The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the Program. At its discretion, the Company may establish one or more grantor trusts for the purpose of providing for payment of benefits under the Program.

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 Program.

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

  (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

Any act authorized, permitted or required to be taken by the Company under the Program may be taken by action of the Committee.

- 26 -


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.

9.07     Program Non-Contractual . Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment or agreement on the part of any person to continue his or her 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.

9.08     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 or her rights or benefits under the Program, or any part thereof, or if by reason of his or her 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 or her, his or her 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 or her spouse, children, or other dependents as the Company may select.

9.09     Payment of Benefits to Others . If any person to whom a retirement benefit is payable is unable to care for his or her 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. Any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.09 shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Program with respect to the retirement benefit so paid.

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) of Parker-Hannifin Corporation (“Company”) has awarded you the following stock options (“Options”) with tandem stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”):

 

Grant Date:

   XX/XX/XXXX   

No. of Shares to Which Options/SARs Apply:

     

Grant Price:

   $XX.XX   

Expiration Date:

   XX/XX/XXXX at 4:00 PM
Eastern Time
  

You may exercise all or any portion of this Award as either Options or SARs but not both. Exercising of any portion of the Award as Options automatically cancels the corresponding SARs, and exercising of any portion of the Award as SARs automatically cancels the corresponding Options.

The grant price (“Grant Price”) is equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of common stock in the company (“Share”) on the Grant Date, which is the reported closing price on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Transactions on the Grant Date.

Each Option entitles you to purchase one Share at the Grant Price. Each SAR entitles you to receive the increase in value between the Grant Price and the Fair Market Value at exercise (“Appreciation”) of one Share in accordance with the terms of the Plan and rules of the Committee in effect at the time of exercise. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Appreciation will be paid to you in Shares having an equal value. The calculation of Appreciation is described in more detail below. The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay the Appreciation in cash in lieu of Shares.

Your Award will expire at the date and time indicated above as Expiration Date unless an earlier lapse date (“Lapse Date”) applies due to a change in your employment status, as provided in this Award.

Calculation of SAR Appreciation .

Appreciation is calculated by subtracting the Grant Price from the Fair Market Value of the Shares at exercise and multiplying the result by the number of SARs exercised. The number of Shares issued on exercise will be that number derived from dividing the Appreciation by the Fair Market Value at exercise per Share. Only whole Shares are issued, and the value of any

 

- 1 -


fractional Share will be credited to your federal income tax withholding, if applicable. You will not receive cash for the fractional portion eliminated by rounding.

Vesting Schedule .

Except as provided below, while you are an active full-time employee, this Award will vest in one-third increments (rounded to the nearest whole share) on each anniversary date of the grant, becoming fully vested on the third anniversary.

In the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan), all of the Options/SARs granted in this Award will immediately vest and become exercisable.

If your continuous full-time employment is terminated prior to a scheduled vesting date as a result of your death, long-term disability, or retirement under the applicable retirement plan or Company policy, all unvested Options/SARs will continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule above.

Upon vesting, your SARs are exercisable in accordance with the terms of this Award and the Plan only while you are a full-time employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries at any time until the Expiration Date or Lapse Date, as the case may be. Vested Options/SARs may also be exercised upon termination of your continuous full-time employment in accordance with the specific status change rules set forth below.

Effect of Status Changes .

If your continuous full-time employment is terminated prior to a vesting date for any reason other than death, long-term disability, or retirement under the applicable retirement plan or Company policy, then all unvested Options/SARs as of the date of termination will lapse and cannot be exercised.

If your continuous full-time employment is terminated for any reason (including death, long-term disability, or retirement), then vested Options/SARs are exercisable any time before the applicable Lapse Date shown below.

 

Status Change – If your continuous full-
time employment terminates due to:

 

Lapse Date – Then the Options/SARs
under this Award will lapse on:

(A)    Long-Term Disability or Retirement

  The Expiration Date.

(B)    Death

  The earlier of : (i) Two (2) years after your death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

(C)   Any Other Termination

  The earlier of : (i) Three (3) months from the date of termination or (ii) the Expiration Date.

Exercise and Settlement Procedures .

To exercise all or any portion of your vested Options/SARs, you must follow the exercise procedures in effect at the time of exercise. The exercise price may be paid in cash or, in the case of net settled exercises, by tendering Common Shares of the Company that you would

 

- 2 -


otherwise receive upon exercise. If you elect to conduct a net settled exercise, you are instructing the Company to retain Common Shares from the Option to satisfy the exercise price and to cancel the corresponding number of shares in the underlying Option. The Common Shares tendered will be valued at the market price for the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange at the time of exercise.

Upon exercise of your Options/SARs, the Company will instruct its stock transfer agent to issue the net number of Shares you are entitled to receive. If any portion of the Award is exercised as SARs, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to settle the exercise in cash in lieu of Shares.

Automatic Self-Exercise Prior to Expiration .

Any vested Options/SARs under this Award that have a net Appreciation (after all applicable withholding taxes) but remain unexercised on the business day preceding the Expiration Date will automatically self-exercise on the Expiration Date to prevent forfeiture.

Compensation and Payment of Income Withholding Taxes .

If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not recognize taxable income upon receipt of this Award. In certain foreign countries, however, you may be taxed, and you should review the taxation with the local country Financial Service Manager. In the year in which you exercise Options or SARs, the difference between the Grant Price and the Fair Market Value at exercise of the Options or the Appreciation on the SARs will be reported as additional compensation and will be subject to applicable income and employment taxes. Parker will report the additional income on your W-2 and will observe all applicable tax withholding requirements at the time of exercise. For U.S. citizens, withholding may include federal, state and local income tax, FICA, Medicare, or other statutorily-required taxes (“Taxes”). All Taxes must be paid at the time of exercise by surrendering a portion of the Shares received in settlement except where transferred Options are exercised by a transferee, in which case the Taxes must be paid in cash by you. In the event the Company elects to settle the exercise in cash, the Taxes due upon exercise will be deducted from the cash settlement prior to payment.

Tax Withholding Calculation .

The Company will withhold for Taxes the number of Shares having an aggregate value based on the Fair Market Value at exercise at least equal to the amount required to be withheld by law. If the value of the withheld Shares exceeds the withholding tax amount due, the excess (which will be less than the value of one Share) will be credited to federal income tax withholding.

Reloadability .

If you exercise your Award as Options and tender shares to satisfy the Option cost, you will receive one (1) restorative or “reload” grant of SARs (“Reload SARs”) effective on the exercise date equivalent to the number of Shares surrendered to satisfy the Option cost. The Reload SARs will have a Grant Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the exercise date as set forth by the Plan and the rules of the Committee. Currently, the Fair Market

 

- 3 -


Value of the Reload SARs is the reported closing price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange—Composite Transactions on the exercise date. Except as otherwise set forth in this Award, no Reload SARs may be exercised (a) prior to the completion of one (1) year of continuous full-time employment following the exercise date; and (b) unless you have retained the Shares resulting from the Option exercise (less a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy withholding tax obligations) for a period of one (1) year from the exercise date. All other terms and conditions of the Reload SARs will be identical to those initially granted in this Award, including, without limitation, the original Expiration Date.

Transferability .

Your Options/SARs are not transferable or assignable during your life except to (a) your spouse, children or their lineal descendants (“Immediate Family Members”), (b) one or more trusts for the benefit of you and/or one or more of your Immediate Family Members; or (c) a partnership or limited liability company in which you or your Immediate Family Members are the only partners or members; provided , however , in each case that you (i) submit a completed Stock Option/SAR Assignment Form to the Stock Incentive Plan Administrator or comply with other procedures in effect at the time of the transfer and (ii) do not receive any consideration for the transfer. All transferred Options/SARs remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Award and the Plan (except that such transferred Options/SARs are not transferable by the transferee during life).

Detrimental Activity .

If you engage in any Detrimental Activity (as defined in the Plan), the Committee may at any time and in its sole discretion cancel and revoke all or any portion of your unexercised Options/SARs or require repayment to the Company of any compensation received (in the form of cash or Shares) from your exercise of any portion of the Options/SARs. The Plan defines Detrimental Activity as any activity that is determined in individual cases, by the Committee or its express delegate, to be detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary, including without limitation (i) rendering of services to an organization, or engaging in a business, that is, in the judgment of the Committee or its express delegate, in competition with the Company; (ii) disclosure to anyone outside of the Company, or the use for any purpose other than the Company’s business, of confidential information or material related to the Company, whether acquired during or after employment with the Company; (iii) fraud, embezzlement, theft-in-office or other illegal activity; or (iv) violation of the Company’s Code of Ethics.

Consent to Use Data .

By acknowledging the terms of this Award, you hereby consent to the cross-border collection, use and disclosure by the Company and its subsidiaries of certain personal data required solely for the purpose of the administration and exercise of this Award. Disclosure of personal data shall be limited to your name, gender, address, telephone number, date of birth, date of hire, position, grade, supervisor, country of residence and country of employment.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE (LTIP) AWARD

UNDER PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) of Parker-Hannifin Corporation (“Company”) has granted you a Long Term Incentive Performance (“LTIP”) Award (“Award”) under the Company’s Performance Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) as follows:

 

Grant Date:

   [Grant Date]

Performance Period:

(stated in fiscal years)

   2010-2011-2012

Target Shares Granted:

   [Target Award]

Performance Multiplier:

   As determined at the end of the Performance Period as provided below.

Your Award provides an incentive compensation opportunity based on the Company’s long-term performance against its peers, as provided below.

Target Shares Granted

Your Target Shares Granted is based on your grade level at the initial Grant Date and your expected service in your position through the end of the Performance Period. In the event of a change in your grade level, or termination of your employment with the Company, during the Performance Period, your Target Shares Granted will be adjusted in accordance with pre-established Committee policy to reflect a new Target Shares amount based on your new grade level or termination as the case may be.

Company Performance & Shares Attained

The number of Shares actually earned upon completion of the Performance Period (“Shares Attained”) will be based on your Target Shares Granted (adjusted as provided herein) and the applicable payout percentage (“Performance Multiplier”), in accordance with the Company’s performance in comparison to the Company’s peer group as listed on the attached Exhibit A (“Peers” or “Peer Group”) for the following weighted performance measures (“Performance Measures”) during the Performance Period:

 

Performance Measure

   Weight

Revenue Growth

   20%

Earnings Per Share (EPS) Growth

   40%

Average Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

   40%

 

- 1 -


Each Performance Measure is calculated for each of the Company and the Peers by reference to sales and income from continuing operations and is computed under, or reconciled to, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“U.S. GAAP”). The number of Shares earned at the end of the Performance Period is determined based on a sliding scale with the maximum payout at 200% of Target and the minimum payout at 0% of Target.

To earn 100% of your Target Shares allocable to each Weighted Performance Measure, the Company must rank in the 50 th percentile among the Peers. Percentile rankings above or below the 50 th percentile for the Performance Period among the Peers will result in a lesser or greater number of Shares Attained for that Performance Measure in accordance with the following table, or the interpolated percentage between the percentages in the table below:

 

Percentile Ranking:

   £ 35      42.5      50      62.5      ³ 75   

Performance Multiplier:

     0   50   100   150   200

Peer Group Adjustments

Certain events affecting Peer group performance data will result in changes to the Peer Group, as follows:

 

(1) Peers that do not publish stand-alone financial results for the entire Performance Period as a result of going private, acquisition, or any similar transaction will be removed from the Peer Group for all comparisons.

 

(2) Peers that merge during the Performance Period will remain in the Peer Group only if they are the surviving entity of the merger.

 

(3) Peers that have publicly announced the need to restate financial statements for any portion of the Performance Period, but have not yet published such restatement, will be removed from the Peer Group for any Performance Measure in which its published result is better than the Company’s result.

 

(4) Peers that have not published financial statements for the entire Performance Period due to the publicly announced need to restate financial statements will be removed from the Peer Group for all comparisons.

 

(5) Peers that have a negative EPS for the base year of a Performance Period will continue to be included in the Peer Group rankings but will be placed at the bottom position(s) for the Annual EPS Growth Performance Measure.

 

(6) Peers that have a negative EPS for the final year of a Performance Period will continue to be included in the Peer Group rankings and will be ranked in accordance with their relative change in EPS from the base year.

 

(7) Peers that publish financial statements for any portion of the Performance Period under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) without reconciliation to U.S. GAAP will continue to be included in the Peer Group rankings, but will be placed at the bottom positions for all Performance Measures.

NOTICE OF [Fiscal Year]

RETURN ON NET ASSETS (“RONA”) BONUS AWARD

UNDER PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN

On [HRCC Approval Date], the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) of Parker-Hannifin Corporation (“Company”) granted you a RONA Bonus Award for fiscal year [Fiscal Year] under the Company’s Performance Bonus Plan (“Plan”). RONA bonuses paid under the Plan are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations.

Your maximum RONA Bonus Award is in the amount of [PBP Shares] RONA Shares and is subject to the terms of the Plan and the following terms and conditions:

 

1. Each RONA Share represents a percentage of your Base Pay earned during [Fiscal Year] (“RONA %”).

 

2. The RONA % is determined as follows:

 

  a) Earnings ÷ Average Assets = Return on Assets (ROA)

 

  b) If ROA is £   35%: ROA x 0.1786 = RONA %

or

if ROA is > 35%: 6.25% + ((ROA—35%) x 0.08928) = RONA%

where:

Earnings = the Company’s Segment Operating Income for [Fiscal Year];

Average Assets = the average of the Company’s RONA Assets at the beginning of [Fiscal Year] and at the end of each of the fiscal quarters of [Fiscal Year]; and

RONA Assets = inventory + accounts receivable + prepaid expenses + property, plant and equipment (net) + goodwill + intangibles – trade accounts payable.

 

- 1 -


3. Your RONA Bonus will be paid following certification of the calculation of the RONA% and payout by the Committee at the end of the Performance Period. The Committee may reduce the amount of your RONA Bonus in its sole discretion. Historically, the Committee has adjusted payouts to reach an appropriate level commensurate with final amounts paid to other executive Officers under the general RONA program.

 

4. Your RONA Bonus earned for [Fiscal Year] under this Award is calculated as follows:

(Base Pay for [Fiscal Year] x RONA %) x # RONA Shares = [Fiscal Year] RONA Bonus payout

 

5. If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than retirement (at or after age 60, or earlier with the consent of the Committee), death or long-term disability during [Fiscal Year], you will forfeit your RONA Bonus Award.

 

6. Your RONA Bonus will be paid in cash, or you may elect to receive it in the form of a credit to your Executive Deferral Plan (“EDP”) account in accordance with the terms of the EDP and rules established by the Committee or the Company, as the case may be by filing a timely election under the EDP.

 

7. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and your Award, the Plan will control.

Please acknowledge receipt of your Award, and indicate your agreement with its terms, by signing and returning a copy to me as soon as possible.

NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF RESTRICTED STOCK

On August 12, 2009, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) of Parker-Hannifin Corporation (“Company”) authorized a grant to you of                  restricted shares of Parker-Hannifin Corporation Common Stock (“Shares”) pursuant to the 2004 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) and subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

1. Shares will be issued as of October 1, 2009.

 

2. Ownership of the Shares vest (i.e., become unrestricted) on September 30, 2010.

 

3. The Shares cannot be sold or otherwise transferred or assigned until they vest.

 

4. Except as otherwise provided in this Notice, in the event you cease to be Director of the Company for any reason prior to September 30, 2010, including, without limitation, your retirement, death, disability, voluntary or involuntary removal from the Board of Directors or a “change in control” of the Company (as defined in the Plan), a pro rata portion of your unvested Shares will vest immediately, based upon the ratio of the number of months you actually served as a Director to the total number of months in the vesting period, and all remaining unvested Shares will be forfeited.

 

5. Certificates representing the Shares will not be issued during the vesting period. Rather, the Shares will be issued in an uncertificated book entry format at the transfer agent.

 

6. Shares will earn non-refundable dividends during the vesting period, payable directly to you.

 

7. Upon the earlier of vesting or your eligibility for retirement, the value of the Shares will become taxable income to you. In the event the Company is liable to remit withholding taxes on your behalf, you will be obligated to immediately pay the Company for all withholding taxes payable by the Company at such time.

 

8.

If you engage in any Detrimental Activity (as defined in the Plan), the Committee may at any time revoke this award by either canceling the Shares (whether unvested or vested) or, if vested Shares have been disposed of, by requiring repayment to the Company in cash of the fair market value (as defined in the Plan) of the liquidated shares as of the

date the Committee revokes the award. The Company may set off any repayment in cancelled Shares or in cash against any amounts that may be owed by the Company to you, whether as director fees, deferred compensation, or in the form of any other benefit for any other reason. Detrimental Activity, as defined in the Plan, means activity that is determined in individual cases, by the Committee or its express delegate, to be detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary, including, without limitation, (i) rendering services to an organization, or engaging in a business, that is, in the judgment of the Committee or its express delegate, in competition with the Company; (ii) disclosing to anyone outside of the Company, or using for any purpose other than the Company’s business, confidential information or material related to the Company, whether acquired by you during or after your service as a Director of the Company; (iii) fraud, embezzlement, theft-in-office or other illegal activity; or (iv) violation of the Company’s Code of Ethics.

 

9. By acknowledging of the terms and conditions of this award, you hereby consent to the cross-border collection, use and disclosure by the Company of certain personal data required solely for the purpose of the administration and exercise of this grant. Disclosure of personal data shall be limited to your name, gender, address, telephone number, date of birth, position, and country of residence. All personal data shall be treated as highly confidential and shall not be used for any purpose other than Plan administration.

 

10. To the extent not otherwise specified above, the issuance of the Shares is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
