NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Amounts are in millions unless indicated otherwise (per share data assume dilution).
Note 1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Eaton Corporation plc (Eaton or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods.
This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Eaton’s
2013
Form 10-K. The interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). This accounting standard supersedes all existing US GAAP revenue recognition guidance. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers the control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to collect in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will require additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Eaton is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 and an estimate of the impact to the consolidated financial statements cannot be made at this time.

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
Eaton is subject to a broad range of claims, administrative and legal proceedings such as lawsuits that relate to contractual allegations, tax audits, patent infringement, personal injuries, antitrust matters and employment-related matters. Eaton is also subject to asbestos claims from historic products which may have contained asbestos. Historically, significant insurance coverage has been available to cover costs associated with these claims. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes they will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, a Brazilian court held that a judgment obtained by a Brazilian company, Raysul, against another Brazilian company, Saturnia, which was sold by Eaton in
2006
, could be enforced against Eaton Ltda. This judgment is based on an alleged violation of an agency agreement between Raysul and Saturnia. At
June 30, 2014
, the Company has a total accrual of
80
Brazilian Reais related to this matter (
$36
based on current exchange rates), comprised of
60
Brazilian Reais recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 (
$27
based on current exchange rates) with an additional

based on current exchange rates). In 2010, Eaton filed motions for clarification with the Brazilian court of appeals which were denied on
April 6, 2011
. Eaton Holding and Eaton Ltda. filed appeals on various issues to the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia. In April 2013, the Superior Court of Justice ruled in favor of Raysul. Additional motions for clarification have been filed with the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia and an additional appeal is being considered. The Company expects that any sum it may be required to pay in connection with this matter will not exceed the amount of the recorded liability.
On
October 5, 2006
, ZF Meritor LLC and Meritor Transmission Corporation (collectively, Meritor) filed an action against Eaton in the United States District Court for Delaware. The action sought damages, which would be trebled under United States antitrust laws, as well as injunctive relief and costs. The suit alleged that Eaton engaged in anti-competitive conduct against Meritor in the sale of heavy-duty truck transmissions in North America. On
June 23, 2014
, Eaton announced it signed a settlement agreement with Meritor in the amount of
$500
that resolved the lawsuit and removed the uncertainty of a trial and appeal process. On
July 16, 2014
, Eaton paid Meritor the
$500
.
Frisby Corporation, now known as Triumph Actuation Systems, LLC, and other claimants (collectively, Triumph) asserted claims alleging, among other things, unfair competition, defamation, malicious prosecution, deprivation of civil rights, and antitrust in the Hinds County Circuit Court of Mississippi in 2004 and in the Federal District Court of North Carolina in 2011. Eaton had asserted claims against Triumph regarding improper use of trade secrets and these claims were dismissed by the Hinds County Circuit Court. On
June 18, 2014
, Eaton announced it signed a settlement agreement with Triumph in the amount of
$147.5
that resolved all claims and lawsuits and removed the uncertainty of a trial and appeal process. On
July 8, 2014
, Eaton paid Triumph the
$147.5
.
Note 7.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the
second
quarter and first six months of
2014
was a benefit of
203%
and
20%
, respectively, compared to expense of
7%
and
6%
for the
second
quarter and first six months of
2013
, respectively. Excluding the litigation settlements and related legal costs, as well as the gain on the sale of Eaton's Aerospace Power Distribution Management Solutions and Integrated Cockpit Solutions businesses, which represents a total pre-tax expense of
$494
and occurred in the
second
quarter of
2014
, the effective income tax rate was expense of
8%
for the
second
quarter of
2014
compared to
7%
for the
second
quarter of
2013
and
6%
for the first
six
months of
2014
and
2013
. See Note 6 and Note 2 for additional information about legal contingencies and the sale of businesses, respectively.
During the next 12 months, the Company expects to reduce its uncertain tax position related to an international tax settlement by
$43
as the result of negotiations with a government outside of Ireland and the United States. Resolution of this issue is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 8.

Note 9.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is measured based on an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to satisfy a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a fair value hierarchy is established, which categorizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Eaton values its financial instruments using an industry standard market approach, in which prices and other relevant information is generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. No financial instruments were recognized using unobservable inputs.
Other Fair Value Measurements
Long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt had a carrying value of
$9,031
and fair value of
$9,444
at
June 30, 2014
compared to
$9,536
and
$9,665
, respectively, at
December 31, 2013
. The fair value of Eaton's debt instruments were estimated using prevailing market interest rates on debt with similar creditworthiness, terms and maturities and are considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.
Note 10.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In the normal course of business, Eaton is exposed to certain risks related to fluctuations in interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company uses various derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, currency forward exchange contracts, currency swaps and, to a lesser extent, commodity contracts, to manage risks from these market fluctuations. The instruments used by Eaton are straightforward, non-leveraged instruments. The counterparties to these instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings. Eaton maintains control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty and regularly monitors the credit rating of these institutions. Such instruments are not purchased and sold for trading purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounting for the gain or loss resulting from the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, as to the nature of the hedging activity. Eaton formally documents all relationships between derivative financial instruments accounted for as designated hedges and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative financial instruments to a recognized asset or liability, specific firm commitment, forecasted transaction, or net investment in a foreign operation. These financial instruments can be designated as:
•
Hedges of the change in the fair value of a recognized fixed-rate asset or liability, or the firm commitment to acquire such an asset or liability (a fair value hedge); for these hedges, the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in income during the period of change in fair value.
•
Hedges of the variable cash flows of a recognized variable-rate asset or liability, or the forecasted acquisition of such an asset or liability (a cash flow hedge); for these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to income in the same period when the gain or loss on the hedged item is included in income.
•
Hedges of the currency exposure related to a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge); for these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to income in the same period when the gain or loss related to the net investment in the foreign operation is included in income.
The gain or loss from a derivative financial instrument designated as a hedge that is effective is classified in the same line of the Consolidated Statements of Income as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item. The change in fair value of a derivative financial instrument that is not effective as a hedge is immediately recognized in income.
For derivatives that are not designated as a hedge, any gain or loss is immediately recognized in income. The majority of derivatives used in this manner relate to risks resulting from assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and certain commodity contracts that arise in the normal course of business. Gains and losses associated with commodity hedge contracts are classified in Cost of products sold.
Eaton uses certain of its debt denominated in foreign currency to hedge portions of its net investments in foreign operations against foreign currency exposure (net investment hedges). Foreign currency denominated debt designated on an after-tax basis as non-derivative net investment hedging instruments was
$99
and
$95
at
June 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively.

The currency exchange contracts shown in the table above as derivatives not designated as hedges are primarily contracts entered into to manage currency volatility or exposure on intercompany sales and loans. While Eaton does not elect hedge accounting treatment for these derivatives, Eaton targets managing
100%
of the intercompany balance sheet exposure to minimize the effect of currency volatility related to the movement of goods and services in the normal course of its operations. This activity represents the great majority of these currency exchange contracts.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
November 20, 2012
, Eaton Corporation issued senior notes (the Senior Notes) totaling
$4,900
to finance part of the cash portion of the acquisition of Cooper. Eaton and certain other of Eaton's principal 100% owned subsidiaries (the Guarantors) fully and unconditionally guaranteed (subject, in the case of the Guarantors, other than Eaton, to customary release provisions as described below), on a joint and several basis, the Senior Notes. The following condensed consolidating financial statements are included so that separate financial statements of Eaton, Eaton Corporation and each of the Guarantors are not required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidating adjustments primarily relate to eliminations of investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The condensed consolidating financial statements present investments in subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.
The guarantee of a Guarantor that is not a parent of the issuer will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged in the event of any sale of the Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets, or in connection with the release or termination of the Guarantor as a guarantor under all other U.S. debt securities or U.S. syndicated credit facilities, subject to limitations set forth in the indenture. The guarantee of a Guarantor that is a direct or indirect parent of the issuer will only be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged in connection with the release or termination of such Guarantor as a guarantor under all other debt securities or syndicated credit facilities (in both cases, U.S. or otherwise), subject to limitations set forth in the indenture.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Amounts are in millions of dollars or shares unless indicated otherwise (per share data assume dilution).
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Eaton Corporation plc (Eaton or the Company) is a power management company providing energy-efficient solutions that help its customers effectively manage electrical, hydraulic and mechanical power. With 2013 net sales of $22.0 billion, the Company is a global technology leader in electrical products, systems and services for power quality, distribution and control, power transmission, lighting and wiring products; hydraulics components, systems and services for industrial and mobile equipment; aerospace fuel, hydraulics and pneumatic systems for commercial and military use; and truck and automotive drivetrain and powertrain systems for performance, fuel economy and safety. Eaton has approximately 103,000 employees in over 60 countries and sells products to customers in more than 175 countries.
Summary of Results of Operations
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company's results of operations were impacted by the litigation settlements, partially offset by the gain on the divestiture of Eaton's Aerospace Power Distribution Management Solutions and Integrated Cockpit Solutions businesses. Additional information on the litigation settlements and sale of businesses is presented in Note 6 and Note 2, respectively, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
A summary of Eaton’s Net sales, Net income attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders, and Net income per ordinary share-diluted follows:

These financial measures include operating earnings, operating earnings per ordinary share, and operating profit before acquisition integration charges for each business segment, as well as corporate expense, each of which excludes amounts that differ from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the table below and in the discussion of the operating results of each business segment. Management believes that these financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude transactions of an unusual nature, allowing investors to more easily compare Eaton’s financial performance period to period. Management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the on-going performance of Eaton and each business segment. For additional information on acquisition integration charges, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Sales
Net sales in the
second
quarter and first
six
months of
2014
increased
3%
compared to the
second
quarter and first
six
months of
2013
due to an increase in core sales. The increase in core sales is primarily due to modest growth in the Company's end markets. Eaton continues to anticipate its end markets will grow 3% for all of 2014.
Gross Profit
The gross profit margin decreased slightly for the
second
quarter and the first
six
months of
2014
from the
second
quarter and first
six
months of
2013
, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to certain restructuring activities Eaton undertook in April 2014 in an effort to gain efficiencies in the Vehicle, Hydraulics and Aerospace business segments. For additional information related to restructuring activities, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the
second
quarter and first six months of
2014
was a benefit of
203%
and
20%
, respectively, compared to expense of
7%
and
6%
for the
second
quarter and first six months of
2013
, respectively. Excluding the litigation settlements and related legal costs, as well as the gain on the sale of Eaton's Aerospace Power Distribution Management Solutions and Integrated Cockpit Solutions businesses, which represents a total pre-tax expense of
$494
and occurred in the
second
quarter of
2014
, the effective income tax rate was expense of
8%
for the
second
quarter of
2014
compared to
7%
for the
second
quarter of
2013
and
6%
for the first
six
months of
2014
and
2013
. See Note 6 and Note 2 for additional information about legal contingencies and the sale of businesses, respectively.
Net Income
Net income attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders of
$171
in the
second
quarter of
2014
decreased
65%
compared to Net income attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders of
$494
in the
second
quarter of
2013
. Net income per ordinary share of
$0.36
in the
second
quarter of
2014
decreased
65%
compared to Net income per ordinary share of
$1.04
in the
second
quarter of
2013
. Net income attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders of
$610
in the first
six
months of
2014
decreased
30%
compared to Net income of
$872
in the first six months of 2013. Net income per ordinary share of
$1.27
in the first
six
months of
2014
decreased
31%
from Net income per ordinary share of
$1.83
in the first
six
months of
2013
. The decrease in Net income attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders and Net income per ordinary share in the
second
quarter and the first
six
months of
2014
was primarily due to the litigation settlements, partially offset by the sale of Eaton's Aerospace Power Distribution Management Solutions and Integrated Cockpit Solutions businesses, as noted above.

due to an increase in core sales. Core sales growth in the
second

to
16.6%
in the first

, respectively, due to an increase in core sales of 1%, offset by a decrease of 1% from the impact of currency translation. Core sales growth in the
second
quarter and first
six
months of
2014
was primarily due to growth in North America and Europe. Eaton continues to anticipate its Electrical Systems and Services markets will grow 3% for all of 2014.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Eaton’s objective is to finance its business through operating cash flow and an appropriate mix of equity and long-term and short-term debt. By diversifying its debt maturity structure, Eaton reduces liquidity risk. The Company maintains access to the commercial paper markets through a commercial paper program, which is supported by credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000. There were no borrowings outstanding under these revolving credit facilities at
June 30, 2014
. Over the course of a year, cash, short-term investments and short-term debt may fluctuate in order to manage global liquidity. Eaton believes it has the operating flexibility, cash flow, cash and short-term investment balances, and access to capital markets in excess of the liquidity necessary to meet future operating needs of the business as well as scheduled payments of long-term debt.
Eaton was in compliance with each of its debt covenants for all periods presented.

Table of Contents
Sources and Uses of Cash Flow
Operating Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$645
in the first
six
months of
2014
, a decrease of $64 compared to
$709
in the first
six
months of
2013
. Lower operating cash flow in the first
six
months of
2014
compared to the first
six
months of
2013
was primarily due to higher contributions to defined benefits plans.
Investing Cash Flow
Net cash provided by investing activities was
$148
in the first
six
months of
2014
, a decrease of $458 compared to
$606
in the first
six
months of
2013
. Investing cash flows in
2014
were primarily impacted by the absence of proceeds totaling $761 from the sale of Apex Tool Group, LLC in the first six months of 2013, partially offset by proceeds totaling $273 in the first six months in 2014, related to the sale of Eaton's Aerospace Power Distribution Management Solutions and Integrated Cockpit Solutions businesses in the second quarter of 2014. For additional information on the sale of businesses, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financing Cash Flow
Net cash used in financing activities was
$1,078
in the first
six
months of
2014
, a decrease of $172 compared to
$1,250
in the first
six
months of
2013
. The lower use of cash was primarily due to a decrease in payments on debt borrowings from $977 in the first six months of 2013 to $576 in the first six months of 2014, related to financing the acquisition of Cooper Industries plc, partially offset by share repurchases totaling $99 during the first six months of 2014 and higher cash dividends. For additional information on business acquisitions and share repurchases, see Note 2 and Note 8, respectively, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
