Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements

We prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can be condensed or omitted. We made certain reclassifications to the 2002 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.

 

We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.

 

2. New Accounting Standards

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This new standard nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit activity that does not involve an entity newly acquired in a business combination or with a disposal activity covered by SFAS No. 144, be recognized when the liability is incurred, rather than the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. Interpretation No. 45 elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees. It also clarifies that at the time an entity issues a guarantee, the issuing entity must recognize an initial liability for the fair value of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee. However, the provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the guarantor’s obligations does not apply to product warranties, guarantees accounted for as derivatives, or other guarantees of an entity’s own future performance. We adopted the disclosure requirements of this interpretation as of December 31, 2002. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this new standard did not have an effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIE), an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, which requires all VIEs to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that holds the majority of the beneficial interests in the VIE. In addition, the interpretation expands disclosure requirements for both VIEs that are consolidated as well as VIEs from which the entity is the holder of a significant amount of the beneficial interests, but not the majority. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation are effective for all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements of this interpretation are effective for all periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Because we have no variable interest entities, we do not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have an effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition guidance of SFAS No. 148 is effective for our financial statements issued in 2003. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, we will continue to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which results in no charge to earnings when options are issued at fair market value. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

have been accounted for as purchases, and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangibles in our financial statements. Goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these targets reflect a number of factors, the greatest of which includes the future earnings and cash flow potential of these companies.

 

We make an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon our understanding of the fair market value of the acquired assets and liabilities. We obtain this information during due diligence and through various other sources. As we obtain additional information about these assets and liabilities and learn more about the newly acquired business, we are able to refine the estimates of fair market value and more accurately allocate the purchase price during the first 12 months of ownership.

 

The following briefly describes our acquisition activity for the six months ended June 28, 2003. For a description of our acquisition activity for the year-ended December 31, 2002, refer to our notes to consolidated financial statements included in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

During the six-month period ended June 28, 2003, we completed two product line acquisitions for total consideration of approximately $17.1 million in cash including transaction costs. HydroTemp Manufacturing Co., Inc. designs and manufactures heat pumps for swimming pool applications and Letro Products, Inc. designs and manufactures swimming pool accessories including cleaners. We acquired these companies to complement our existing pool and spa equipment business unit of our Water segment. The aggregated annual revenue of the acquired businesses is approximately $17 million. We are continuing to evaluate the initial purchase accounting allocations for acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 28, 2003 and will adjust the allocations as additional information relative to the fair market values of the assets and liabilities of the businesses become known. Pro forma information on these acquisitions and other related disclosures have not been provided as these acquisitions are not considered material to our operations.

 

In the first quarter of 2003, we made purchase price adjustments relative to our fourth quarter 2002 acquisition of Plymouth Products in which we received $1.9 million. The adjustment primarily related to final determination of closing date net assets.

 

In January 2003, we completed a final adjustment to the selling price related to the disposition of Lincoln Industrial in which we paid $2.4 million. This had no effect on earnings for the six months ended June 28, 2003 as the amount was offset by previously established reserves.

 

10. Equity Method Investment

In April 2003, we invested an additional $5.6 million in certain joint venture operations of an Asian supplier for bench top power tools. This additional investment increased our ownership percentage to 49 percent from 40 percent. We hold options to increase our ownership interest in these joint ventures to 100 percent. Our portion of the earnings of these joint ventures is included in cost of goods sold; however, it is not material.

In July 2003, we acquired certain assets of two privately held companies to augment existing Water segment businesses for approximately $4.3 million. TwinPumps, Inc., of Oldwick, New Jersey, designs and manufactures vortex and chopper pumps for municipal wastewater applications. K&M Plastics, Incorporated, of Elk Grove, Illinois, designs and manufactures blow-molded brine tanks and pressure vessels for residential and commercial water conditioning and filtration applications.

 

On July 25, 2003, we completed financing arrangements totaling $700 million, comprised of a $200 million private placement of senior notes with a 10-year maturity and a new committed $500 million revolving credit facility with maturity in three years. The $500 million credit facility replaced two existing revolving credit facilities totaling $632 million. The $200 million private placement includes $100 million of variable rate senior notes with an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.15 percent and $100 million of fixed rate senior notes (of which $50 million will be funded on October 15, 2003) with an average interest rate of 4.98

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a diversified industrial manufacturer operating in three segments: Tools, Water, and Enclosures. Our Tools segment manufactures and markets a wide range of power tools under several brand names — Porter-Cable, Delta®, Delta Shopmaster, Delta Industrial, Biesemeyer®, FLEX, Ex-Cell, Air America®, Charge Air Pro®, 2 x 4, Oldham®, Contractor SuperDuty, Viper®, Hickory Woodworking®, The Woodworker’s Choice®, and United States Saw® — generating approximately 40 percent of 2002 total revenues. Our Water segment manufactures and markets essential products for the transport, storage, and treatment of water and wastewater and generates approximately 35 percent of 2002 total revenues. Brand names within the Water segment include Myers®, Fairbanks Morse®, Hydromatic®, Aurora®, Water Ace®, Shur-Dri®, Fleck®, SIATA, CodeLine, Structural, WellMate, Verti-line, Layne & Bowler, American Plumber, Armor, National Pool Tile, Rainbow Lifegard, Paragon Aquatics, Kreepy Krauly, and Pentair Pool Products. Our Enclosures segment accounts for approximately 25 percent of 2002 total revenues, and designs, manufactures, and markets standard, modified and custom enclosures that protect sensitive controls and components for markets that include industrial machinery, data communications, networking, telecommunications, test and measurement, automotive, medical, security, defense, and general electronics. The segment goes to market under four primary brands: Hoffman®, Schroff®, Pentair Electronic Packaging, and Taunus.

 

Our diversification has enabled us to provide shareholders with relatively consistent operating results despite difficult markets that may occur in one or another segment at times.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales

The components of the net sales change in 2003 from 2002 were as follows:

Net sales in the second quarter and first half of 2003 totaled $719.0 million and $1,356.5 million, compared with $708.1 million and $1,311.2 million for the same periods in 2002. The $10.9 million or 1.5 percent increase in second quarter 2003 net sales and the $45.3 million or 3.5 percent increase in first half 2003 net sales was primarily due to:

 

 favorable foreign currency effects as the weaker U.S. dollar increased the dollar value of foreign sales; and
 our fourth quarter 2002 acquisitions of Oldham Saw Co., Inc. (Oldham Saw) (Tools segment) and Plymouth Products, Inc. (Plymouth Products) (Water segment).

 

These increases were partially offset by:

 

 lower second quarter and first half organic sales volume, in our Tools segment due to unfavorable weather patterns and weak economic conditions; and
 a decline in average selling prices in our Tools segment due to increased promotional pricing.

 

Sales by segment and the change from the prior year period were as follows:

Tools

The 6.7 percent and 3.7 percent declines in Tools segment sales in the second quarter and first half of 2003 were primarily driven by:

 

 lower organic sales volume due to the effects of a slow economy, unfavorable weather conditions that hampered sell-in of pressure washers into the industrial and retail channels, and the impact of several compressor SKUs at one large home center customer that were lost in the first quarter of 2003; and
 a decline in average selling prices due to increased promotional pricing.

 

The decline in organic sales volume in the second quarter and first half of 2003 was offset in part by sales attributable to the fourth quarter 2002 acquisition of Oldham Saw.

 

Water

The 9.5 percent and 12.6 percent increases in Water segment sales in the second quarter and first half of 2003 were primarily driven by:

 

 higher sales for retail pumps and residential engineered systems;
 higher sales in the first half of 2003 for pool and spa equipment products, despite flat sales in the second quarter due to unfavorable weather conditions that resulted in a slow start to the pool season;
 sales attributable to the fourth quarter 2002 acquisition of Plymouth Products; and
 favorable foreign currency effects.

The 0.6 percentage point and 1.1 percentage point increases in gross profit as a percent of sales in the second quarter and first half of 2003 from 2002 were primarily the result of:

 

 savings generated from our supply chain management and lean enterprise initiatives, which we call the Pentair Integrated Management System (PIMS);
 our fourth quarter 2002 acquisition of Plymouth Products;
 lower costs as a result of general downsizing throughout Pentair; and
 favorable foreign currency effects (primarily the second quarter only).

 

These increases were partially offset by:

 

 price declines, primarily in our Tools segment due to increased promotional pricing; and
 volume declines, in our Tools segment.

 expenses related to downsizing.

 

These decreases were partially offset by:

The 0.7 percentage point and 1.3 percentage point declines in Water segment operating income as a percent of sales in the second quarter and first half of 2003 from 2002 were primarily the result of:

 

 lower profitability in our pool and spa equipment business resulting from unfavorable product mix primarily, a slow start to the pool season, and strategic investments to drive organic growth;
 price and volume declines related to our reverse osmosis product line and costs associated with downsizing the Chardon, Ohio operation. We are now consolidating the manufacturing of all of this product line in our factory in Goa, India. In addition, we are streamlining and pruning the balance of the tank product line. We expect to realize benefits from these actions in the second half of 2003; and
 lower profitability in our pump business (year-to-date only) due to pricing pressures in commercial markets and one-time costs for workforce reductions. Profitability in our pump business improved in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2003 as we accelerated our PIMS initiatives and retail channel management programs.

The 3.1 percentage point and 3.4 percentage point increases in Enclosures segment operating income as a percent of sales in the second quarter and first half of 2003 from 2002 were primarily the result of:

 

 efficiencies resulting from our continued implementation of PIMS, stronger sourcing discipline, and expense reduction programs. These savings were partially offset by expenses for the closure of our Scottish operations.

The $0.7 million and the $4.4 million declines primarily reflected lower interest rates on our variable rate debt and the write-off in March 2002 of $1.8 million of deferred financing costs related to excess capacity on certain credit facilities that we no longer used.

Our effective tax rate in the second quarter and first half of 2003 was 34 percent compared with 33 percent for the same periods in 2002. The one percentage point increase was primarily due to the anticipated mix of our 2003 U.S. and foreign earnings and the fact that many of our tax savings programs have relatively fixed benefits so as profitability improves our effective tax rate trends higher.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, equity investments, acquisitions, debt repayments, and dividend payments are generally funded from cash generated from operations, availability under existing committed revolving credit facilities, and in certain instances, equity and public debt transactions.

 

The following table presents selected working capital measurements calculated from our monthly operating results based on a 13-month moving average and indicates our emphasis on working capital management:

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $77.7 million in the first half of 2003, or $24.8 million lower compared with the same period in 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to year-over-year variances in tax payments and increased working capital resulting from higher inventories in our Tools segment and our pool and spa equipment business.

 

Investing activities

Capital expenditures in the first half of 2003 were $18.9 million compared with $15.3 million in the prior year period. We anticipate capital expenditures in 2003 to be approximately $45 million primarily, in the areas of new product development and general maintenance capital.

 

During the six-month period ended June 28, 2003, we completed two product line acquisitions for total consideration of approximately $17.1 million in cash including transaction costs. HydroTemp Manufacturing Co., Inc. designs and manufactures heat pumps for swimming pool applications and Letro Products, Inc. designs and manufactures swimming accessories including pool cleaners. We acquired these companies to complement our existing pool and spa equipment business unit of our Water segment. The aggregated annual revenue of the acquired businesses is approximately $17 million.

 

In the first quarter of 2003, we made purchase price adjustments relative to our fourth quarter 2002 acquisition of Plymouth Products in which we received $1.9 million. The adjustment primarily related to final determination of closing date net assets.

Table of Contents

In January 2003, we completed a final adjustment to the selling price related to the disposition of Lincoln Industrial in which we paid $2.4 million. This had no effect on earnings for the six months ended June 28, 2003 as the amount was offset by previously established reserves.

 

In April 2003, we invested an additional $5.6 million in certain joint venture operations of an Asian supplier for bench top power tools. This additional investment increased our ownership percentage to 49 percent from 40 percent. We hold options to increase our ownership interest in these joint ventures to 100 percent.

 

Financing activities

At June 28, 2003, our capital structure consisted of $728.5 million in total indebtedness and $1,171.5 million in shareholders’ equity. The ratio of debt-to-total capital at June 28, 2003 was 38.3 percent, compared with 39.9 percent at December 31, 2002 and 37.4 percent at June 29, 2002. Our targeted debt-to-total capital ratio is approximately 40 percent. We will exceed this target from time to time as needed for operational purposes and/or acquisitions.

 

On July 25, 2003, we completed financing arrangements totaling $700 million, comprised of a $200 million private placement of senior notes with a 10-year maturity and a new committed $500 million revolving credit facility with maturity in three years. The $500 million credit facility replaced two existing revolving credit facilities totaling $632 million. The $200 million private placement includes $100 million of variable rate senior notes with an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.15 percent and $100 million of fixed rate senior notes (of which $50 million will be funded on October 15, 2003) with an average interest rate of 4.98 percent. The $150 million proceeds received in the third quarter of 2003 from the private placement were used to pay down debt under the revolving credit facility.

 

Credit available under existing facilities, as limited by our most restrictive financial covenant, was approximately $234 million at July 25, 2003 and is based on a ratio of total debt to EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). In addition, our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants that restrict the amount we pay for dividends and require us to maintain certain financial ratios and a minimum net worth. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 28 and July 25, 2003.

We will continue to have cash requirements to support working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest and service debt and to pay dividends to shareholders. In order to meet these cash requirements, we intend to use available cash and internally generated funds and to borrow under our committed and uncommitted credit facilities. We believe that cash provided from these sources will be adequate to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

 

There have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Dividends paid in the first half of 2003 were $19.7 million or $0.40 per common share compared with $17.7 million or $0.36 per common share in the prior year period.

 

Pension

Total net periodic pension benefits cost is expected to be approximately $15 million for 2003 compared with approximately $13 million in 2002. Our 2003 pension contributions are expected to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million compared to approximately $19 million in 2002.

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the six months ended June 28, 2003. For additional information, refer to Item 7A on page 30 of our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended June 28, 2003 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarter ended June 28, 2003 in timely alerting them to material information relating to Pentair, Inc. (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 28, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

Environmental and Product Liability Claims

There have been no further material developments regarding the above from that contained in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The following supplements and amends the discussion set forth under Item 3. Legal Proceedings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Horizon Litigation

On June 25, 2003, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit dismissed Essef’s appeal of the trial verdict. A motion for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc has been filed. We believe we have sufficient reserves to cover any uninsured awards or settlements for this matter.

 

Other

We are occasionally a party to litigation arising in the normal course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities based on the expected eventual disposition of these matters. We believe the effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, if any, for the disposition of all currently pending matters will not be material.
