Crown Holdings, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share and statistical data)
(Unaudited)
A.
Statement of Information Furnished
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of
September 30, 2013
and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and of its cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013
and
2012
. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
.
B.
Accounting and Reporting Developments
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted changes to the disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities. These changes require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement and eligible for offset in the statement of financial position. The disclosures are intended to enable users of an entity’s financial statements to understand and evaluate the effect or potential effect of master netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments. Other than disclosure, these changes had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See
Note G
for the Company's disclosures.
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted changes to the disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. These changes require an entity to present in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. Other than disclosure, these changes had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See
Note C
for the Company's disclosures.
Change in Depreciable Lives
The Company, with the assistance of a third party appraiser, completed an evaluation of the estimated useful lives of its two-piece and three-piece can-making equipment. As a result, effective January 1, 2013, the company increased the estimated useful lives of its can-making equipment to reflect its current estimate of the useful lives. As a result of this change, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, depreciation and amortization was lower by
$14
and net income higher by
$10
or
$0.07
per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, depreciation and amortization was lower by
$38
and net income higher by
$28
or
$0.20
per diluted share.

Stock-Based Compensation
In February 2013, the Company awarded shares of restricted stock to certain senior executives consisting of time-vesting awards which vest
ratably over three years
and performance-based shares which
cliff vest at the end of three years
. The number of performance-based shares that will ultimately vest is based on the level of market performance achieved, ranging between
0%
and
200%
of the shares originally awarded, and will be settled in stock. The fair value of the performance-based shares awarded was calculated using a
Monte Carlo
valuation model.
In April 2013, the Company's shareholders approved the 2013 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan) which allows for a total
6.2 million
shares to be issued under future awards. Subsequent to the approval of the Plan, the Company issued a general award of
0.7 million
shares of time-vesting restricted stock and
0.5 million
shares of time-vesting deferred stock which vest
ratably over four years commencing in 2015
.

Derivative and Other Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
Under GAAP a framework exists for measuring fair value, providing a three-tier hierarchy of pricing inputs used to report assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value. Level 1 includes inputs such as quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the report date. Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 3 includes unobservable pricing inputs that are not corroborated by market data or other objective sources. The Company has no items valued using Level 3 inputs other than certain pension plan assets.
The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company applies a
market approach
to value its commodity price hedge contracts. Prices from observable markets are used to develop the fair value of these financial instruments and they are reported under Level 1. The Company uses an
income approach
to value its foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are valued using a discounted cash flow model that calculates the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts using market information as of the reporting date, such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates, and are reported under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value disclosures for financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are provided later in this note. In addition, see
Note I
for fair value disclosures related to debt.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counter-parties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counter-parties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company’s objective in managing exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow.
The extent to which the Company uses such instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk and using sales agreements that permit the pass-through of commodity price and foreign exchange rate risk to customers.
For derivative financial instruments accounted for in hedging relationships, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner in which effectiveness will be assessed. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the hedging relationships are effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the instruments is recognized immediately in earnings.
11
Crown Holdings, Inc.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges. No components of the hedging instruments are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in fair value of outstanding derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, except any ineffective portion, are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction. Classification of the gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon reclassification from comprehensive income is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Contracts outstanding at
September 30, 2013
mature between
one
and
twenty-seven
months.
When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that an anticipated transaction will occur in the originally specified period, changes to fair value accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings.
The Company uses forward contracts to hedge anticipated purchases of various commodities, including aluminum, fuel oil and natural gas and these exposures are hedged by a central treasury unit.
The Company also designates certain foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated sales or purchases. The Company manages these risks at the operating unit level. Often the hedging of foreign currency risk is performed in concert with related commodity price hedges.
The following table sets forth financial information about the impact on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and earnings from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.

Fair Value Hedges and Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as fair value hedges of recognized foreign-denominated assets and liabilities, generally trade accounts receivable and payable and unrecognized firm commitments. The notional values and maturity dates of the derivative instruments coincide with those of the hedged items. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments, excluding time value, are offset by changes in fair value of the related hedged items.
Other than for firm commitments, amounts related to time value are excluded from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness and are reported in earnings. Less than
$1
was reported in earnings for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
.
Certain derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts related to intercompany debt, were not designated in hedge relationships; however, they are effective economic hedges as the changes in their fair value, except for time value, are offset by changes in re-measurement of the related hedged items. The Company’s primary use of these derivative instruments is to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in earnings as foreign exchange adjustments.
The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges was a gain of
$3
and a loss of
$1
for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2013
and gains of
$3
and
$4
for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2012
. The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedges was a gain of
$3
and a loss of
$1
for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2013
and losses of
$3
and
$6
for the same periods in 2012. These adjustments were reported within foreign exchange in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were offset by changes in the fair values of the related hedged item.

Asbestos-Related Liabilities
Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. (“Crown Cork”) is one of many defendants in a substantial number of lawsuits filed throughout the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These claims arose from the insulation operations of a U.S. company, the majority of whose stock Crown Cork purchased in 1963. Approximately
ninety
days after the stock purchase, this U.S. company sold its insulation assets and was later merged into Crown Cork.
Prior to 1998, amounts paid to asbestos claimants were covered by a fund made available to Crown Cork under a 1985 settlement with carriers insuring Crown Cork through 1976, when Crown Cork became self-insured. The fund was depleted in 1998 and the Company has no remaining coverage for asbestos-related costs.
In recent years, the states of Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming enacted legislation that limits asbestos-related liabilities under state law of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The legislation, which applies to future and, with the exception of Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming, pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the fair market value of the predecessor's total gross assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total value of its predecessor's assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has integrated the legislation into its claims defense strategy. The Company cautions, however, that the legislation may be challenged and there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate effect of the legislation on Crown Cork.
In June 2003, the state of Texas enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities in Texas courts of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The Texas legislation, which applies to future claims and pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the total gross value of the predecessor’s assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total adjusted value of its predecessor’s assets.
On October 22, 2010, the Texas Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision, reversed a lower court decision, Barbara Robinson v. Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., No. 14-04-00658-CV, Fourteenth Court of Appeals, Texas, which had upheld the dismissal of an asbestos-related case against Crown Cork. The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas legislation was unconstitutional under the Texas Constitution when applied to asbestos-related claims pending against Crown Cork when the legislation was enacted in June 2003. The Company believes that the decision of the Texas Supreme Court is limited to retroactive application of the Texas legislation to asbestos-related cases that were pending against Crown Cork in Texas on June 11, 2003 and therefore, in its accrual, continues to assign no value to claims filed after June 11, 2003.
In December 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities of Pennsylvania corporations that are successors by corporate merger to companies involved with asbestos. The legislation limits the successor’s liability for asbestos to the acquired company’s asset value adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the acquired company’s adjusted asset value. In November 2004, the legislation was amended to address a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision (Ieropoli v. AC&S Corporation, et. al., No. 117 EM 2002) which held that the statute violated the Pennsylvania Constitution due to retroactive application. The Company cautions that the limitations of the statute, as amended, are subject to litigation and may not be upheld.
The Company further cautions that an adverse ruling in any litigation relating to the constitutionality or applicability to Crown Cork of one or more statutes that limits the asbestos-related liability of alleged defendants like Crown Cork could have a material impact on the Company.
During the
nine months ended September 30
,
2013
, the Company paid
$19
to settle outstanding claims and had claims activity as follows:
Beginning claims
51,000
New claims
3,000
Settlements or dismissals
(1,500
)
Ending claims
52,500
18
Crown Holdings, Inc.
In the fourth quarter of each year, the Company performs an analysis of outstanding claims and categorizes by year of exposure and state filed. As of December 31, 2012, the Company's outstanding claims were:
2012
Claimants alleging first exposure after 1964
15,000
Claimants alleging first exposure before or during 1964 filed in:
Texas
13,000
Pennsylvania
2,000
Other states that have enacted asbestos legislation
6,000
Other states
15,000
Total claims outstanding
51,000
The outstanding claims in each period exclude approximately
19,000
inactive claims. Due to the passage of time, the Company considers it unlikely that the plaintiffs in these cases will pursue further action against the Company. The exclusion of these inactive claims had no effect on the calculation of the Company’s accrual as the claims were filed in states, as described above, where the Company’s liability is limited by statute.
With respect to claimants alleging first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlements in states where the Company’s liability is limited by statute except for certain pending claims in Texas as described earlier.
With respect to post-1964 claims, regardless of the existence of asbestos legislation, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlement of these claims because of increased difficulty of establishing identification of relevant insulation products as the cause of injury. Given our settlement experience with post-1964 claims, we do not believe that an adverse ruling in the Texas or Pennsylvania asbestos litigation cases, or in any other state that has enacted asbestos legislation, would have a material impact on the Company with respect to such claims.
As of December 31, the percentage of outstanding claims related to claimants alleging serious diseases (primarily mesothelioma and other malignancies) were as follows:

2011
2010

Crown Cork has entered into arrangements with plaintiffs’ counsel in certain jurisdictions with respect to claims which are not yet filed, or asserted, against it. However, Crown Cork expects claims under these arrangements to be filed or asserted against Crown Cork in the future. The projected value of these claims is included in the Company’s estimated liability as of
September 30, 2013
.
As of
September 30, 2013
, the Company’s accrual for pending and future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was $
237
, including $
175
for unasserted claims. The Company’s accrual includes estimated probable costs for claims through the year
2022
. The Company’s accrual excludes potential costs for claims beyond
2022
because the Company believes that the key assumptions underlying its accrual are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens.
It is reasonably possible that the actual loss could be in excess of the Company’s accrual. The Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss in excess of its accrual due to uncertainty in the following assumptions that underlie the Company’s accrual and the possibility of losses in excess of such accrual: the amount of damages sought by the claimant (which was not specified for approximately
88%
of the claims outstanding at the end of
2012
), the Company and claimant’s willingness to negotiate a settlement, the terms of settlements of other defendants with asbestos-related liabilities, the bankruptcy filings of other defendants (which may result in additional claims and higher settlements for non-bankrupt defendants), the nature of pending and future claims (including the seriousness of alleged disease, whether claimants allege first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964 and the claimant’s ability to demonstrate the alleged link to Crown Cork), the volatility of the litigation environment, the defense strategies available to the Company, the level of future claims, the rate of receipt of claims, the jurisdiction in which claims are filed, and the effect of state asbestos legislation (including the validity and applicability of the Pennsylvania legislation to non-Pennsylvania jurisdictions, where the substantial majority of the Company’s asbestos cases are filed).

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company, along with others in most cases, has been identified by the EPA or a comparable state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at a number of sites and has recorded aggregate accruals of
$6
for its share of estimated future remediation costs at these sites. The Company has been identified as having either directly or indirectly disposed of commercial or industrial waste at the sites subject to the accrual, and where appropriate and supported by available information, generally has agreed to be responsible for a percentage of future remediation costs based on an estimated volume of materials disposed in proportion to the total materials disposed at each site. The Company has not had monetary sanctions imposed nor has the Company been notified of any potential monetary sanctions at any of the sites.
The Company has also recorded aggregate accruals of
$7
for remediation activities at various worldwide locations that are owned by the Company and for which the Company is not a member of a PRP group. In the second quarter of 2013, in connection with a favorable arbitration ruling, the Company recorded a receivable of
$3
for the recovery of certain remediation costs from a third party. Although the Company believes its accruals are adequate to cover its portion of future remediation costs, there can be no assurance that the ultimate payments will not exceed the amount of the Company’s accruals and will not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position and cash flow. Any possible loss or range of potential loss that may be incurred in excess of the recorded accruals cannot be estimated.
The Company's Italian subsidiaries received assessments for value added taxes and related income taxes from the Italian tax authorities resulting from certain third party suppliers' failures to remit required value added tax payments due by those suppliers under Italian law with respect to purchases for resale to the Company. Based on discussions with the Italian tax authorities in the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized pre-tax expense of
$14
and
$20
(
$13
and
$14
after-tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, within its Consolidated Statements of Operations to fully provide for an expected settlement.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a formal agreement with the Italian tax authorities to settle these matters for the amounts previously accrued.
In the second quarter of 2013, an arbitrator ruled in favor of the Company over certain environmental indemnification matters related to a prior acquisition. Under the terms of the ruling, the Company received an initial payment of
$15
and expects to receive an additional
$1
as reimbursement for previously incurred expenses. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of
$16
(
$11
after-tax) within its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to various other lawsuits and claims with respect to labor, environmental, securities, vendor and other matters arising out of the Company’s normal course of business. While the impact on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists, management believes that the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flow.
The Company has various commitments to purchase materials, supplies and utilities as part of the ordinary course of business. The Company’s basic raw materials for its products are steel and aluminum, both of which are purchased from multiple sources. The Company is subject to fluctuations in the cost of these raw materials and has periodically adjusted its selling prices to reflect these movements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to fully recover any increases or fluctuations in raw material costs from its customers. The Company also has commitments for standby letters of credit and for purchases of capital assets.
At
September 30, 2013
, the Company was party to certain indemnification agreements covering environmental remediation, lease payments and other potential costs associated with properties sold or businesses divested. For agreements with defined liability limits the maximum potential amount of future liability was
$8
. The Company accrues for costs related to these items when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At
September 30, 2013
, the Company also had guarantees of
$40
related to the residual values of leased assets.

Tax law changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 include charges of
$9
to reduce the value of the Company's deferred tax assets due to a recently enacted reduction in U.K. corporate income tax rates and
$9
to recognize the impact of a tax law change in Greece. In the third quarter of 2013, the government of Greece enacted a tax law change which eliminates a company's ability to maintain tax-free reserves as of January 1, 2015. The law is unclear whether tax-free reserves that remain undistributed at January 1, 2015 will be automatically subjected to taxation and the applicable rate, if any, that would apply. A Committee has been established to review the law and to provide interpretive guidance. Based on the Company’s current interpretation of the law, it has recognized a liability for potential taxation of its tax-free reserves. When additional guidance is issued, it is possible that the Company may be required to adjust its reserve.
Other items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 include a net benefit of
$169
primarily related to the recognition of previously unrecognized U.S. foreign tax credits. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company committed to a formal repatriation plan which allowed it to claim these credits on its 2012 income tax return and determined that it would amend its 2003 U.S. income tax return to claim foreign taxes paid as a credit rather than as a tax deduction.

Subsequent Events
On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Mivisa Envases, S.A.U. (“Mivisa”), a leading Spanish manufacturer of two- and three-piece food cans and ends, from certain investment funds managed by affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P., N+1 Mercapital and management, in a cash transaction valued at
€1.2
billion (
$1.6
billion at September 30, 2013). The acquisition, which is subject to review by the European Commission and other competition authorities, is expected to close during 2014. Mivisa, based in Murcia, Spain, currently operates ten manufacturing facilities, including six in Spain and one in Morocco primarily serving the vegetable, fruit, fish and meat segments. For its fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, Mivisa had sales of approximately
€555
(
$731
at September 30, 2013).
P.
Segment Information
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment income. Segment income, which is not a defined term under GAAP, is defined by the Company as gross profit less selling and administrative expenses. Segment income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(dollars in millions)
Introduction
The following discussion presents management's analysis of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 and changes in financial condition and liquidity from December 31, 2012. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in and referred to within this report.
Business Strategy and Trends
The Company's strategy is to grow its businesses in targeted international growth markets, while improving operations and results in more mature markets through disciplined pricing, cost control and careful capital allocation.
In recent years, the Company has expanded its beverage can businesses in Asia, Brazil and Eastern Europe in response to increased unit volume demand driven by increased per capita incomes and consumption, combined with a shift in packaging mix to two-piece aluminum beverage cans from other packages. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company commercialized second beverage can lines in Putian, China and Bangi, Malaysia. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company commercialized new beverage can plants in Danang, Vietnam and Bangkok, Thailand; and in July , the Company began production at its new plant in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. In addition, the Company has begun construction on a new facility in northern Brazil in the city of Teresina and expects to begin commercial shipments in the first quarter of 2014. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to implement its expansion plans according to schedule or at all. The Company continuously monitors these markets and, where necessary, may adjust capital deployment based on economic developments and market-by-market conditions.
Beverage can sales unit volumes in the Company's mature markets have been stable to slightly declining in North America and slightly increasing in Europe. Global food and aerosol can sales unit volumes have been stable to declining in recent years primarily due to lower consumer spending. While the opportunity for organic volume growth in the Company's mature markets is not comparable to that in targeted international growth markets, the Company continues to generate strong returns on invested capital and significant cash flow from these businesses. The Company monitors capacity across all of its businesses and, where necessary, may take action such as closing a plant or reducing headcount to better manage its costs. Any or all of these actions may result in additional restructuring charges in the future which may be material.
As part of the Company's efforts to manage cost, it attempts to pass-through increases in the cost of aluminum and steel to its customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover from its customers the impact of any such increased costs. Aluminum and steel prices can be subject to significant volatility and there does not appear to be a consistent and predictable trend in pricing.
The Company seeks to increase shareholder value by maximizing operating cash flows which can be reinvested in the business, used for acquisitions, used to repay debt or returned to shareholders through share repurchases or possible future dividends. In assessing the Company's performance, the key performance measure used is segment income, a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company as gross profit less selling and administrative expenses.
Results of Operations
The foreign currency translation impacts referred to below were primarily due to changes in the euro and pound sterling in the Company's European businesses, the Canadian dollar in the Company's Americas segments and the Chinese renminbi and Thai baht in the Company's Asia Pacific segment.

Net sales increased primarily due to increased global beverage can volumes and $39 from the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by the pass-through of lower raw material costs.
Discussion and analysis of net sales and segment income by segment follows.
Americas Beverage
The Americas Beverage segment manufactures aluminum beverage cans and ends and steel crowns, commonly referred to as “bottle caps”, and supplies a variety of customers from its operations in the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Colombia and Mexico. The U.S. and Canadian beverage can markets are mature markets which have experienced slightly declining volumes in recent years. In Brazil, the Company's sales unit volumes have increased in recent years primarily due to market growth. The Company recently began construction on a new facility in northern Brazil and expects to begin commercial shipments in the first quarter of 2014.
Net sales and segment income in the Americas Beverage segment are as follows:

Three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012
Net sales increased primarily due to $16 from higher sales unit volumes in Brazil, Colombia and Mexico offsetting lower volumes in North America, partially offset by $4 from the pass-through of lower raw material costs and $3 from the impact of foreign currency translation. The higher sales unit volumes were primarily in Brazil resulting from recent capacity additions in response to the country's growing middle class and increasing disposable income and its shift in packaging mix to two-piece aluminum beverage cans from other packages.
Segment income increased primarily due to higher sales unit volumes described above and $3 from lower depreciation resulting from a change in the estimated useful lives of the Company's can-making equipment, partially offset by a benefit from reduced post-employment benefits in 2012 that did not recur in 2013.
Nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012
Net sales increased primarily due to $22 from higher sales unit volumes in Brazil, Colombia and Mexico offsetting lower volumes in North America, partially offset by $4 from the pass-through of lower raw material costs and $2 from the impact of foreign currency translation. The higher sales unit volumes were primarily in Brazil resulting from recent

capacity additions in response to the country's growing middle class and increasing disposable income and its shift in packaging mix to two-piece aluminum beverage cans from other packages.
Segment income increased primarily due to higher sales unit volumes described above and $9 from lower depreciation resulting from a change in the estimated useful lives of the Company's can-making equipment.
North America Food
The North America Food segment manufactures steel and aluminum food cans and ends and metal vacuum closures and supplies a variety of customers from its operations in the U.S. and Canada. The North American food can and closures market is a mature market which has experienced stable to slightly declining volumes in recent years.

Nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012
Net sales decreased primarily due to a 1% decline in sales unit volumes and unfavorable sales unit volume mix.
Segment income decreased primarily due to a charge of $18 to record a reserve against an outstanding customer receivable balance which based upon available information the Company believes will be uncollectible following the customer filing for bankruptcy in October 2013 and $6 from lower sales unit volumes, partially offset by efficiency improvements and $3 from lower depreciation resulting from a change in the estimated useful lives of the Company's can-making equipment.
European Beverage
The Company's European Beverage segment manufactures steel and aluminum beverage cans and ends and supplies a variety of customers from its operations throughout Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. In recent years, the European beverage can market has been growing. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company commenced commercial operations of a new plant in Osmaniye, Turkey which is expected to add annualized capacity of approximately 700 million cans when fully operational.

Segment income decreased primarily due to $12 from the impact of competitive price compression and unfavorable sales unit volume mix, partially offset by $7 from improved cost performance including the benefits of recent restructuring and $3 from lower depreciation resulting from a change in the estimated useful lives of the Company's can-making equipment.
Nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012
Net sales decreased primarily due to $48 from lower selling prices reflecting the pass-through of lower material costs and the impact of competitive price compression and $11 from unfavorable sales unit volume mix, partially offset by $25 from the impact of foreign currency translation.
Segment income decreased primarily due to the impact of competitive price compression, $7 from unfavorable sales unit volume mix and a charge of $11 to record a reserve against a portion of an outstanding customer receivable balance, partially offset by improved cost performance and $8 from lower depreciation resulting from a change in the estimated useful lives of the Company's can-making equipment. The receivable reserve was triggered in the second quarter by the customer filing for bankruptcy protection. As of September 30, 2013, the Company's net receivable from the customer

was $35. If the Company's expectations with respect to collectability were to change, the Company may need to record an additional charge in the future that could be material.
Asia Pacific
The Company's Asia Pacific segment consists of beverage and non-beverage can operations, primarily food cans and specialty packaging. In recent years, the Company's beverage can businesses in Asia have experienced significant growth. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, sales of beverage cans and ends accounted for 75% of Asia Pacific's sales.
In 2012, the Company commercialized new beverage can plants in Putian, Ziyang and Heshan, China and expanded capacity at its plant in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company acquired an aluminum beverage can and end production facility in Vietnam and also acquired a controlling interest in Superior Multi-Packaging Ltd. (“Superior”), a listed company on the Singapore Exchange. Superior primarily produces specialty packaging containers for consumer products companies at its facilities in China, Singapore and Vietnam.
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company commercialized second beverage can lines in Putian, China and Bangi, Malaysia. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company commercialized new beverage can plants in Danang, Vietnam and Bangkok, Thailand; and in July, the Company began production at its new plant in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

Non-reportable Segments
The Company's non-reportable segments include its aerosol can businesses in North America and Europe, its specialty packaging business in Europe and its tooling and equipment operations in the U.S. and United Kingdom. In recent years, the Company's specialty packaging business has experienced stable to slightly declining volumes and its aerosol can businesses have experienced slightly declining volumes.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, corporate and unallocated expense decreased primarily due to $5 from lower pension expense, $5 from lower hedge ineffectiveness and $2 from lower technology costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, corporate and unallocated expense decreased primarily due to $15 from lower pension expense, $6 from lower hedge ineffectiveness and $5 from lower technology costs partially offset by a net benefit of $1 from legal matters. As further described in
Note K
to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a benefit of $16 for a legal settlement related to environmental remediation costs partially offset by a charge of $15 for certain Italian valued added tax assessments.
Cost of Products Sold (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, cost of products sold (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased from
$1,887
to
$1,961
primarily due to increased global beverage can volumes partially offset by the pass-through of lower raw material costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, cost of products sold (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased from

$98
primarily due to a change in the estimated useful lives of the Company's two-piece and three-piece can-making equipment.
54
Crown Holdings, Inc.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
(Continued)
The Company, with the assistance of a third party appraiser, completed an evaluation of the estimated useful lives of its two-piece and three-piece can-making equipment. As a result, effective January 1, 2013, the company increased the estimated useful lives of its can-making equipment to reflect its current estimates of the useful lives. As a result of this change, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, depreciation and amortization was lower by $14 and $38.
Currently, the Company expects the full year impact of the change to result in lower depreciation and amortization of approximately $50 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Selling and Administrative Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, selling and administrative expense increased from
$92
to
$113
primarily due to a charge of $18 to record a reserve against an outstanding North American Food can customer receivable balance which based upon available information the Company believes will be uncollectible following the customer filing for bankruptcy in October 2013 and $2 from the impact of foreign currency translation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, selling and administrative expense increased from
$288
to
$319
primarily due to a charge of $18 to record a reserve against an outstanding North American Food can customer receivable balance which based upon available information the Company believes will be uncollectible following the customer filing for bankruptcy in October 2013 and a charge of $11 in the second quarter of 2013 to record a reserve against a portion of the outstanding receivable balance due from a European food can customer.
Provision for Restructuring
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $33 and $41. The charge recorded in the third quarter includes
$31
related to a cost-reduction initiative to better align costs with ongoing market conditions in the Company's European operations, primarily in its food, aerosol and specialty packaging businesses. The action is expected to result in the reduction of approximately
235
employees when completed in 2014. The Company expects this action to result in annual cost savings of approximately $25. However, there can be no assurance that any such pre-tax savings will be realized.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, interest expense increased from
$57
to
$58
primarily due to higher average debt outstanding.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, interest expense increased from
$170
to
$179
primarily due to higher average debt outstanding and included $5 of expense related to the Italian value added tax assessments described in

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased from $19 to $26 and from $63 to $74 primarily due to increased earnings in the Company's beverage can operations in Brazil and the Middle East.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash from Operations
Cash used for operating activities increased from $
117
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2012
to $
124
in
2013
.
Working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was similar to 2012 as receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset higher levels of inventory.
Receivables increased over year-end levels primarily because sales generally increase each month of the year until the third quarter. Days sales outstanding for trade receivables increased from 47 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 48 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Inventory levels typically increase each month of the year until peaking in the third quarter due to seasonal build primarily in the Company's food can businesses. Cash used in 2013 was higher than in 2012 due to capacity expansion and the Company's efforts to manage lower levels of inventory at December 31, 2012 which resulted in higher cash used in 2013 for seasonal inventory build.
Cash used for accounts payable and accrued liabilities improved for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 in part due to extended payment terms with certain of the Company's suppliers.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities decreased from $
205
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2012
to
$178
in
2013
primarily due to lower capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities decreased from
$218
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2012
to
$187
in
2013
primarily due to increased repurchases of shares of the Company's common stock, purchases of noncontrolling interests and higher dividends paid to noncontrolling interests.
Other financing activities, in each year, represent cash settlements of foreign currency derivatives used to hedge intercompany debt obligations.
Liquidity
As of
September 30, 2013
, $206 of the Company's
$236
of cash and cash equivalents was located outside the U.S. The Company is not currently aware of any legal restrictions under foreign law that materially impact its access to cash held outside the U.S.
The Company funds its cash needs in the U.S. through a combination of cash flows from operations in the U.S., dividends from certain foreign subsidiaries, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the acceleration of cash receipts under its receivable securitization facilities. The Company records current and/or deferred U.S. taxes for the earnings of these foreign subsidiaries. For certain other foreign subsidiaries, the Company considers earnings indefinitely reinvested and has not recorded any U.S. taxes. Of the cash and cash equivalents located outside the U.S., $109 was held by subsidiaries
56
Crown Holdings, Inc.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
(Continued)
for which earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. While based on current operating plans the Company does not foresee a need to repatriate these funds, if such earnings were repatriated the Company would be required to record any incremental U.S. taxes on the repatriated funds.
As of
September 30, 2013
, the Company had $724 of borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility, equal to the total facility of $1,200 less
$436
of borrowings and $40 of outstanding standby letters of credit.
The Company's debt agreements contain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt, pay dividends or repurchase capital stock, make certain other restricted payments, create liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions. These restrictions are subject to a number of exceptions, however, which allow the Company to incur additional debt, create liens or make otherwise restricted payments. The amount of restricted payments permitted to be made, including dividends and repurchases of the Company's common stock, is generally limited to the cumulative excess of $200 plus 50% of adjusted net income plus proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options over the aggregate of restricted payments made since July 2004. Adjustments to net income may include, but are not limited to, items such as asset impairments, gains and losses from asset sales and early extinguishments of debt.
Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2013, the company has approximately $68 of capital commitments primarily related to capacity expansion in Asia and Brazil. The Company expects to fund these commitments primarily through cash flows generated from operations and to fund any excess needs over available cash through external borrowings.
Contractual Obligations
During the first nine months of 2013, purchase obligations related to raw materials increased $516 for 2014, $495 for 2015, $509 for 2016 and $248 for 2017 and 2018 compared to amounts provided within Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which information is incorporated herein by reference, except for the January 2013 debt issuance and repayments described in
Note I
, entitled "Debt," to the consolidated financial statements,
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Information regarding the Company's commitments and contingent liabilities appears in Part I within Item 1 of this report under
Note K
, entitled “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the consolidated financial statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require that management make numerous estimates and assumptions.
Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, impacting the reported results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note A to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the Company's critical accounting policies during the first nine months of 2013. The discussion below supplements the discussion from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 with respect to goodwill.
Goodwill Impairment
As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of the Company's European Aerosols reporting unit was 22% higher than its carrying value. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company announced plans to combine the operations of its European Aerosols and Specialty Packaging businesses. Prior to the combination, the Company performed a review of its European Aerosols reporting unit and determined that there was no goodwill impairment. Based on current projections, the Company believes that the estimated

fair value of the new reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If future operating results were to decline causing the estimated fair value to fall below its carrying value, it is possible that an impairment charge of up to $152 could be recorded.

Statements included herein in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” including, but not limited to, in the discussions of asbestos in

and commitments and contingencies in

to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and also in Part I, Item 1: “Business” and Item 3: “Legal Proceedings” and in Part II, Item 7: “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for capacity additions, share repurchases, dividends, future operations or economic performance, or assumptions related thereto), are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In addition, the Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make oral or written statements which are also “forward-looking statements.”
These forward-looking statements are made based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and, therefore, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Management cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
While the Company periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting the Company's results of operations and financial condition in connection with the preparation of “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and certain other sections contained in the Company's quarterly, annual or other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement in light of future events.
A discussion of important factors that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ from expectations has been set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 within Part II, Item 7: “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption “Forward Looking Statements” and is incorporated herein by reference. Some of the factors are also discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in prior Company filings with the SEC. In addition, other factors have been or may be discussed from time to time in the Company's SEC filings.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. These instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The extent to which the Company uses such instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success in using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk and using sales arrangements that permit the pass-through of commodity prices and foreign exchange rate risks to customers. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow. For further discussion of the Company's use of derivative instruments and their fair values at September 30, 2013, see
Note G
to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $1.3 billion principal floating interest rate debt. A change of 0.25% in these floating interest rates would change annual interest expense by approximately $3.3 million before tax.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation and as of the end of the quarter for which this report is made, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information to be disclosed in reports that the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and terms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The shares were repurchased pursuant to the December 2012 authorization of the Company's Board of Directors which authorized the repurchase of an aggregate amount of $800 million of the Company's common stock through the end of 2014. This authorization supersedes the previous authorization. Share repurchases under the Company's programs may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market conditions. As of September 30, 2013, $507 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock may be repurchased under the program.
