Item 1. Financial Statements
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q, reports filed by Federal Signal Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and comments made by management may contain words such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “estimate” and “objective” or the negative thereof or similar terminology concerning the Company’s future financial performance, business strategy, plans, goals and objectives. These expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s possible or assumed future performance or results of operations and are not guarantees. While these statements are based on assumptions and judgments that management has made in light of industry experience as well as perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances, they are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different.
These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, include the cyclical nature of the Company’s industrial, municipal, government and commercial markets; availability of credit and third-party financing for customers; the Company’s ability to achieve expected savings from integration, synergy and other cost-control initiatives; volatility in securities trading markets; economic downturns; risks associated with suppliers, dealers and other partner alliances; changes in cost competitiveness including those resulting from foreign currency movements; technological advances by competitors; increased competition and pricing pressures in the markets served by the Company; the ability of the Company to expand into new geographic markets and to anticipate and meet customer demands for new products and product enhancements; increased warranty and product liability expenses; compliance with environmental and safety regulations; restrictive debt covenants; disruptions in the supply of parts or components from sole source suppliers and subcontractors; domestic and foreign governmental policy change; unforeseen developments in contingencies such as litigation, protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; retention of key employees; and general changes in the competitive environment. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Qs and other filings with the SEC. These factors may not constitute all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statement. The Company operates in a continually changing business environment and new factors emerge from time to time. The Company cannot predict such factors nor can it assess the impact, if any, of such factors on its financial position or results of operations. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results. The Company disclaims any responsibility to update any forward-looking statement provided in this Form 10-Q.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Company makes its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, other reports and information filed with the SEC and amendments to those reports available, free of charge, through its Internet website (http://www.federalsignal.com) as soon as reasonably practical after it electronically files or furnishes such materials to the SEC. All of the Company’s filings may be read or copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room can be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.

FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of the Business
Federal Signal Corporation was founded in 1901 and was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1969. References herein to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer collectively to Federal Signal Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of Federal Signal Corporation and subsidiaries included herein and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that we considered necessary to present a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in these condensed, consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2009 Form 10-K. We label our quarterly information using a calendar convention, that is, first quarter is labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is our longstanding practice to establish interim quarterly closing dates using a 5-4-4 calendar with the fiscal year ending on December 31. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist within a reporting year.
Effective June 6, 2010, the Company reorganized its segments to better align the Company’s intelligent transportation and public safety businesses for future growth. As a result of this reorganization, the Company created a new operating segment called Federal Signal Technologies (“FSTech”) that includes the vehicle classification software, automated license plate recognition (“ALPR”) and parking systems businesses from our Safety and Security Systems operating segment and the newly acquired businesses, Sirit Inc. and subsidiaries (“Sirit”) and VESystems, LLC and subsidiaries (“VESystems”). The Safety and Security Systems operating segment retained campus and community alerting, emergency vehicles, first responder interoperable communications, industrial communications and command and municipal security businesses.
As a result of this reorganization, our four operating segments as of June 6, 2010 are as follows:
Federal Signal Technologies — Our FSTech Group is a provider of technologies and solutions to the Intelligent Transportation Systems and public safety markets and other applications. These products and solutions provide end users with the tools needed to automate data collection and analysis, transaction processing and asset tracking. FSTech provides technology platforms and services to customers in the areas of radio frequency identification systems, transaction processing vehicle classification, electronic toll collection, automated license plate recognition, electronic vehicle registration, parking and access control, cashless payment solutions, congestion charging, traffic management, site security solutions and supply chain systems. Products are sold under PIPS TM, Idris ®, Sirit ® and VESystems TM brand names.
Safety and Security — Our Safety and Security Systems Group is a leading manufacturer and supplier of comprehensive systems and products that law enforcement, fire rescue, emergency medical services, campuses, military facilities and industrial sites use to protect people and property. Offerings include systems for campus and community alerting, emergency vehicles, first responder interoperable communications, industrial communications and command and municipal networked security. Specific products include lightbars and sirens, public warning sirens and public safety software. Products are sold under the Federal Signal, Federal Signal VAMA, Target Tech and Victor brand names. The group operates manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, China and South Africa.
Environmental Solutions — Unchanged; see Note 12 for description of the operating segment’s principal activities.
Fire Rescue — Unchanged; see Note 12 for description of the operating segment’s principal activities.

Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. Included with reclassifications are restatements for both discontinued operations and the reorganization of certain operating segments, as described above.
Accounting Changes
In October 2009, the FASB amended guidance relating to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and certain arrangements that include software elements. This guidance requires companies to allocate revenue in arrangements involving multiple deliverables based on the estimated selling price of each deliverable, even though such deliverables are not sold separately either by the company or by other vendors The amended guidance should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted the revised guidance and is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first six months of 2010 has had or is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, pension and other postretirement benefits, allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances, product warranty accruals, asset impairment, purchase price allocation and litigation-related accruals. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Subsequent Events

2. ACQUISITIONS
The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed included below are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date and prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however the Company is awaiting the finalization of certain third party valuations to finalize those fair values. Thus, the preliminary measurements of fair value set forth below are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocations as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
Sirit Inc. and Subsidiaries
On March 5, 2010, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sirit for total cash consideration of CDN $77.1 million (USD $74.9 million). Sirit designs, develops and manufactures radio frequency identification device technology for applications such as tolling, electronic vehicle registration, parking and access control, cashless payments, supply chain management and asset tracking solutions. The acquisition of Sirit supports the Company’s long-term strategy by creating growth opportunities and revenue synergies. The results of Sirit are included within the FSTech operating segment.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition of Sirit. Since the acquisition and the initial preliminary purchase price allocation included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, net adjustments of $0.4 million were made to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

Amortization expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 totaled $2.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 totaled $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Company estimates that the total amortization expense will be $8.1 million in 2010, $9.5 million in 2011, $8.4 million in 2012, $7.2 million in 2013, $7.1 million in 2014, $6.3 million in 2015, and $28.1 million thereafter.
The Company performed interim impairment tests of the Company’s goodwill and trade names for the FSTech reporting unit in the second quarter of 2010 which resulted in no impairment. The Company performed these interim impairment tests due to events and changes in circumstances during those periods that indicated an impairment might have occurred. The primary factor deemed by management to have constituted a potential impairment triggering event was the reorganization of our operating segments in the second quarter of 2010.
The Company estimated the fair value of goodwill using a blended use of both the discounted cash flow model and the market valuation approach. The key inputs to the discounted cash flow model were the Company’s historical and future revenues, discount rate and incorporating general economic and market conditions among others. The interim goodwill impairment test resulted in the FSTech reporting unit fair value to exceed its carrying amounts by more than 10%.
The Company estimated the fair value of trade names using a discounted cash flow model. The key inputs to the discounted cash flow model were the Company’s historical and estimated future revenues, an assumed royalty rate and discount rate among others. While certain of these inputs are observable, significant judgment was required to select certain inputs from observable and unobservable market data.
5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company manages the volatility of cash flows caused by fluctuations in currency rates by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts and options. These derivative instruments may be designated as cash flow hedges that hedge portions of the Company’s anticipated third-party purchases and forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies. The Company also enters into foreign exchange contracts that are not intended to qualify for hedge accounting, but are intended to offset the effect on earnings of foreign currency movements on short and long term intercompany transactions. Gains and losses on these derivative instruments are recorded through earnings.
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company uses an income approach to value the assets and liabilities for outstanding derivative contracts, which include interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts. The income approach consists of a discounted cash flow model that takes into account the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts using current market information as of the reporting date, such as prevailing interest rates and foreign currency spot and forward rates. The following table provides a summary of the fair values of assets and liabilities:

At June 30, 2010, €10.7 million (or $13.1 million), was drawn on the Alternative Currency Facility, a supplemental agreement under the Second Amended Credit Agreement and $144.8 million was drawn directly under the Second Amended Credit Agreement for a total of $157.9 million drawn under the Second Amended Credit Agreement leaving available borrowings of $92.1 million not including $30.6 million of capacity used for existing letters of credit.
At June 30, 2010, $8.0 million was drawn against the Company’s non-U.S. lines of credit which provide for borrowings up to $16.0 million.
The outstanding unsecured Private Placement Notes’ coupon interest rates increased by a total of 3% from December 31, 2009. The coupon interest rates increased by 1% on January 1, 2010 as required per the April 2009 Global Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreements.

15


 

The coupon rates also increased by an additional 2% on April 1, 2010 as a result of the Company’s private placement debt rating not improving by one rating level on or before April 1, 2010.
7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In May 2010, the Company issued 12.1 million common shares at a price of $6.25 per share for total gross proceeds of $75.5 million. After deducting direct fees, net proceeds to the Company totaled $71.0 million. Proceeds from the equity offering were used to pay down debt.
8. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was (91.2)% and 19.9% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was (57.4)% and 16.4% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The lower tax rates in the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010 are caused by a $0.6 million tax benefit recorded in the second quarter primarily related to the net effects of a release in reserves for state income taxes and an increase in reserves for certain non-U.S. income taxes.
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were $5.0 million at January 1, 2010 of which $4.7 million are tax benefits that if recognized, would reduce the annual effective tax rate. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Interest and penalties amounting to $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, are included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010. The Company expects the unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by $0.2 over the next 12 months. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.6 million.
9. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The components of the Company’s net periodic pension expense for its defined benefit pension plans are summarized as follows:

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, no contributions to the pension plans were made. During the comparable prior period, the Company contributed 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock held in treasury to the U.S. pension plan. The stock was valued at $4.4 million based upon prices in the open market at the contribution date. In addition, the Company contributed $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 to its non-U.S. defined benefit plan.
10. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
(Loss) earnings per share — basic is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. (Loss) earnings per share — diluted reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options issued under stock-based compensation awards were exercised and converted into common stock. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, options to purchase 1.6 and 1.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock had exercise prices that were greater than the average market price of those shares during the respective reporting periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, options to purchase 1.5 and 1.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock had exercise prices that were greater than the average market price of those shares during the respective reporting periods. As a result, these shares are excluded from the (loss) earnings per share calculation as they are anti-dilutive.

11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND WARRANTIES
Warranties
The Company issues product performance warranties to customers with the sale of its products. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending upon the product sold and country in which the Company conducts business, with warranty periods generally ranging from one to ten years. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the sale of the related product is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units under warranty from time to time, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and costs per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in the Company’s warranty liabilities in the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:
                 
($ in millions)   2010     2009  
Balance at December 31
  $ 6.2     $ 5.8  
Provisions to expense
    3.8       5.0  
Actual costs incurred
    (3.8 )     (4.4 )
 
           
Balance at June 30
  $ 6.2     $ 6.4  
 
           
Environmental Liabilities
The Company retained an environmental consultant to conduct an environmental risk assessment at its Pearland, Texas facility. While the Company has not completed the risk assessment analysis, it appears probable the site will require remediation. A reasonable estimate of the range of costs to remediate the site is $0.7 million to $2.4 million, depending upon the remediation approach and other factors of which $0.1 million of remediation costs were incurred to date. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, is included in other accrued liabilities within the Safety and Security Systems Group. The Company’s estimate may change in the near term as more information becomes available; however the costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to various claims, other pending and possible legal actions for product liability and other damages and other matters arising out of the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with

17


 

counsel, that the outcome of such claims and actions will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The Company’s subsidiary Bronto Skylift, a manufacturer of aerial lifts which is headquartered in Finland, was named in a lawsuit in France, in connection with an accident which occurred in 2006. The incident occurred at a fairgrounds in Pau, France where the National Conference of Firefighters was held, and involved the fatal fall of an individual from the demonstration cage of one of Bronto Skylift’s vehicles. Bronto Skylift is named in the lawsuit along with two individuals, one of whom is a consultant for Bronto Skylift. The case was referred to the Court of Corrections (criminal court). In March 2010, the Court of Corrections fined Bronto Skylift €0.1 million in connection with the accident, and through its counsel, Bronto Skylift is appealing that decision. Claims for indemnity have been filed against Bronto Skylift by various individuals in connection with the incident.
The Company has been sued by firefighters seeking damages claiming that exposure to the Company’s sirens has impaired their hearing and that the sirens are therefore defective. There were 33 cases filed during the period 1999-2004, involving a total of 2,443 plaintiffs pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The trial of the first 27 of these plaintiffs’ claims began on March 18, 2008 and ended on April 25, 2008, when a Cook County jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of the Company. An additional 40 firefighter plaintiffs were selected for trial to begin on January 5, 2009. Plaintiffs’ counsel later moved to reduce the number of plaintiffs from 40 to 9. Trial of these nine plaintiffs began on February 6, 2009 and concluded on February 20, 2009 with a verdict returned against the Company and for the plaintiffs in varying amounts totaling $0.4 million. The Company is appealing this verdict. All trials previously scheduled in Cook County during 2009 and 2010 are stayed pending the result of this appeal. Since February 20, 2009, the Company is aware of six additional cases that have been filed in Cook County, involving 299 plaintiffs.
The Company has also been sued on this issue outside of the Cook County, Illinois venue. With the exception of matters that may be appealed, Federal Signal is currently a defendant in 53 hearing loss lawsuits in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, involving a total of 53 firefighter plaintiffs. The first trial involving one of these plaintiffs began on February 16, 2010 and ended on March 2, 2010, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. In particular, the jury found that the Company’s siren was not defectively designed, but that the Company negligently constructed the siren. The jury awarded damages in the amount of $0.1 million which was subsequently reduced to $0.08 million. The Company plans to appeal this verdict. Another trial, involving 9 Philadelphia firefighter plaintiffs, began on June 14, 2010 and ended on June 25, 2010 when the jury returned a defense verdict for the Company as to all claims and all plaintiffs involved in that trial. Five additional trials, involving a total of 43 plaintiffs, are scheduled to begin during the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2010. During the course of the current Philadelphia litigation, six cases have been dismissed. In four of these cases, the Company paid nominal sums which included reimbursement of expenses, to obtain dismissals. Two cases were dismissed pursuant to motion filed by the Company. The Company has been sued in jurisdictions other than Philadelphia, but those cases have been dismissed, including four cases in the Supreme Court of Kings County, New York which were dismissed on January 25, 2008 after the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss. The trial court subsequently denied reconsideration of its ruling. On appeal, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of these cases. Plaintiffs’ attorneys have threatened to file additional lawsuits. The Company intends to vigorously defend all of these lawsuits.
Federal Signal’s ongoing negotiations with CNA over insurance coverage on these claims have resulted in reimbursements of a portion of the Company’s defense costs. In the six month period ended June 30, 2009, $0.6 million of reimbursement from CNA was recorded by the Company as a reduction of corporate operating expenses. In the six month period ended June 30, 2010, $0.2 million was recorded.
E-One, a former subsidiary of the Company, has been named as a defendant in a product liability case in Massachusetts involving a firefighter who claims to have been injured as a result of an accident involving an E-One pumper firetruck. In particular, plaintiff required amputation of a leg resulting from this accident. The accident allegedly occurred on August 7, 2005 when the firetruck was inadvertently placed into drive during pumping operations and “ran away,” pinning plaintiff against another firetruck. Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the truck was defective and unreasonably dangerous because it failed to include certain alleged safety devices. After the accident, the Massachusetts Department of Labor investigated the accident and concluded various errors and omissions by the Fire Department and driver/operator of the pumper contributed to causing the accident. In addition to damages recoverable under typical product liability cases, plaintiff has also sought recovery under the Massachusetts Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The Company has recently been advised by its insurance carriers that they reserve rights for coverage for these claims as well as the other claims made by plaintiffs in this case. The Company disputes this position. No trial date has been set for this case; the parties anticipate, however, that trial will occur during the fourth quarter of 2010 or the first quarter of 2011.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Effective June 6, 2010, the Company reorganized its segments to better align the Company’s intelligent transportation and public safety businesses for future growth. As a result of this reorganization, the Company created a new operating segment called FSTech that includes the vehicle classification software, automated license plate recognition and parking systems businesses from our Safety and Security Systems operating segment and the newly acquired businesses, Sirit and VESystems. The Safety and Security Systems operating segment retained the campus and community alerting emergency vehicles, first responder interoperable communications, industrial communications and command and municipal security businesses.
Results for prior periods have been restated to reflect the June 2010 reorganization described above.

Corporate contains those items that are not included in our other operating segments.
The Company evaluates performance based on operating income of the respective segment. Operating income includes all revenues, costs and expenses directly related to the segment involved and excludes acquisition and integration related costs, corporate expenses and interest expenses. These costs are contained at Corporate.

The accounting policies of each operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s December 31, 2009 Form 10-K.
We have reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. Included with reclassifications are restatements for both discontinued operations and the reorganization of certain operating segments. Information regarding the Company’s discontinued operations is included in Note 15 — Discontinued Operations. The segment information included herein has been reclassified to reflect such discontinued operations.

13. RESTRUCTURING
During Fiscal 2010 and 2009, the Company announced restructuring initiatives. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company’s total restructuring accrual was $4.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company continues to review its business for opportunities to reduce operating expenses and focus on executing its strategy based on core competencies and cost efficiencies.
2010 Plan
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company announced restructuring initiatives focused on aligning the Company’s cost base with revenues and other functional reorganizations and recorded $3.4 million in restructuring charges related to a global reduction in force across all functions. Total restructuring payment of the $3.4 million is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2011.
2009 Plan
In July 2009, the Company began an initiative to consolidate a number of manufacturing and distribution operations into the Company’s University Park, Illinois plant collectively known as the Footprint restructuring plan (“Footprint”). The Company expects all of these actions will be completed in the 2010 calendar year. The Company recorded approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2010 in costs associated with the Footprint initiative.

     On June 17, 2010, the Company approved a plan to sell its Riverchase business, which had previously been reported as part of the Safety and Security Systems operating segment. The Company’s Riverchase business develops a suite of products that enables emergency response agencies to manage and communicate remotely with their fleets. The Company wrote down assets of the Riverchase business to net realizable value as of June 30, 2010, resulting in a net loss of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010. The net loss included the write-off of $1.2 million of intangible assets.
2009
     On November 30, 2009, the Company sold 100% of the shares of Pauluhn, located in Pearland, Texas, for $35.0 million, of which $3.5 million is expected to be received in 2010, subject to an initial working capital adjustment. The results of Pauluhn’s operations were previously included within the Safety and Security Systems Group. Pauluhn provided marine, offshore and industrial lighting products

Net Sales
Safety and Security Systems segment net sales decreased $0.5 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the respective prior year periods primarily due to soft municipal demand for fire and police products, partially offset by a strong industrial demand.
Fire Rescue segment net sales decreased $11.9 million and $19.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the respective prior year periods primarily due to a lower order backlog, lower volumes in both the industrial and rental markets and unfavorable currency adjustments.
Environmental Solutions segment net sales increased $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in sweepers and waterblaster shipments, partially offset by lower shipments of both sewer cleaners and vacuum trucks due to a draw-down on backlog in December 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net sales decreased $10.5 million compared to the prior year period due to lower backlog levels as compared to early 2009.
Federal Signal Technologies segment net sales increased $11.8 million and $16.8 million for the three and six months ended compared to the respective prior year periods due to the acquisitions of Sirit and VESystems in March 2010 and Diamond in December 2009.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year period as a result of changes in product mix and improved efficiencies. Consistent with the decrease in net sales, cost of sales decreased $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the respective prior year periods.
Acquisition and Integration Related Costs
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $1.1 million and $3.7 million of acquisition and integration related costs. These costs include, but are not limited to, direct costs of recent acquisitions and costs directly associated in the formation of our new operating segment, FSTech. There were no acquisition and integration related costs for the respective prior year periods.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges were $3.7 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to no charges in the respective prior year periods. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company announced restructuring initiatives focused on aligning the Company’s cost base with revenues and other functional reorganizations. The Company recorded $3.4 million in restructuring charges related to a global reduction in force across all functions. Payment of accrued amounts related to severance and benefits are expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2011. The remaining expense of $0.3 million is related to the 2009 Footprint restructuring plan.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $3.9 million and $8.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year periods. The decrease is due to acquisition and integration related charges, deferred retention charges, restructuring charges and a decline in sales partially offset by a change in product mix and efficiencies from cost reduction efforts.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year due to an increase in coupon rates of the Company’s private placement senior notes pursuant to the April 2009 Global Amendment and an increase in borrowings. Interest expense decreased $0.1 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year due to a reduction in total debt.
Effective Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was (91.2)% and 19.9% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was (57.4)% and 16.4% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The lower tax rates in the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010 are caused by a $0.6 million tax benefit recorded in the second quarter primarily related to the net effects of a release in reserves for state income taxes and an increase in reserves for certain foreign income taxes.
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were $5.0 million at January 1, 2010 of which $4.7 million are tax benefits that if recognized, would reduce the annual effective tax rate. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Interest and penalties amounting to $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, are included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010. The Company expects the unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by $0.2 over the next 12 months. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.6 million.
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
Income from continuing operations was $1.4 million and $4.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in income from continuing operations is due to lower operating income as described above an increase in interest expense and other expense, net partially offset by a tax benefit. (Loss) income from continuing operations was ($1.4) million and $4.9 million in the six months

25


 

ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in income from continuing operations is due to lower operating income as described above partially offset by a tax benefit.
Discontinued Operations and Disposals
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company approved a plan to sell its Riverchase business, which had previously been reported as part of the Safety and Security Systems operating segment. The Riverchase business develops a suite of products that enables emergency response agencies to manage and communicate remotely with their fleets. The Company wrote down assets of the Riverchase business to net realizable value as of June 30, 2010, resulting in a net loss of $1.4 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, a net loss of $9.3 million and $8.8 million was recorded, respectively, primarily related to the discontinuation of the Company’s European street sweeper business.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.02 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, diluted loss per share from continuing operations was ($0.03).
Orders and Backlog
Orders increased 23% and 24% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year periods as the U.S. and global markets continue their recovery from the recession. In the three months ended June 30, 2010, U.S. and non-U.S. orders increased 27% and 16%, respectively as compared to the prior year. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, U.S. and non-U.S. orders increased 26% and 22%, respectively as compared to prior year.
U.S. municipal and government orders increased 2.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the increase in sewer cleaners of $5.3 million and ALPR cameras of $2.1 million, offset by a reduction in sweepers of $2.8 million. U.S. municipal and government orders increased approximately 6.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year, as demand continued to increase for sewer cleaners and ALPR cameras at $10.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, offset by continued municipal tightening in the police market of $2.4 million.
U.S. industrial orders increased 68.8%, or $23.4 million, in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year as a result of strong industrial demand. Federal Signal Technologies segment orders increased $17.6 million due to $10.0 million in parking systems orders and orders attributed to Sirit and VESystems. Environmental Solutions segment vacuum trucks orders increased $5.9 million. U.S. industrial orders increased 58.8%, or $39.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year. The Environmental Solutions segment increased $16.7 million driven by an increase in vacuum truck orders of $11.5 million and waterblasters orders of $2.8 million. Federal Signal Technologies segment increased $19.9 million with parking systems up $10.1 million and orders from Sirit and VESystems. Safety and Security Systems Group orders increased $3.9 million with industrial products driving the year over year increase.
Non-U.S. orders increased 16.2% or $9.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to strong demand for industrial products in the Environmental Solutions and Safety and Security Systems segments which were up $4.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Fire Rescue and Federal Signal Technologies segment reported increases in orders of $1.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Non-U.S. orders increased 21.7% or $27.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year with increases in the Fire Rescue segment of $10.4 million, Safety and Security Systems segment of $7.3 million and Federal Signal Technologies segment of $3.2 million.
Backlog is $214.4 million at June 30, 2010, which is $1.2 million higher than the same period in 2009.
Safety and Security Systems
The following table summarizes the Safety and Security Systems Group’s operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:
                                                 
    Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30,

Orders of $54.6 million for the second quarter were flat year over year. U.S. orders were down slightly with lower municipal spending, offset partially by strong industrial demand. Non-U.S. orders were slightly favorable driven by strong demand for industrial products, partially offset by weaker demand for fire and police products and an unfavorable currency impact. Year to date orders were up $5.2 million driven by strong demand in non-U.S. orders for industrial products as well as a large European police order partially offset by lower U.S. municipal spending.
Net sales of $57.2 million for the quarter were down slightly from the prior year quarter as a result of soft municipal demand for fire and police products, the absence of a large order placed in 2009 and unfavorable currency impacts of $1.0 million. Partially offsetting this decline was strong industrial demand. Similarly, year to date net sales were down $4.4 million as a result of weak municipal demand and the absence of a large 2009 order which decline was offset partially by strong industrial demand.
For the quarter, operating income and margins were down from the prior year primarily due to $1.9 million of restructuring charges associated with a reorganization of the management structure within the group. Year to date operating income and margins were down due to lower sales volumes and restructuring charges.
Fire Rescue
The following table summarizes the Fire Rescue Group’s operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Depreciation and amortization $ 0.5     $ 0.4   $ 0.1 $ 1.1     $ 0.8     $ 0.3
Orders for the second quarter decreased 6.1% from the second quarter of 2009 with weakness in the European fire-lift market and an unfavorable currency impact of $1.6 million. Year to date orders were up 22.8% to $51.6 million primarily as result of strong demand for the fire-lift product in Asia. Demand for the industrial market continues to lag as a result of the global economic recession.
Net sales declined 28.7% in the second quarter primarily as a result of lower volumes with the weaker industrial and rental markets and unfavorable currency impacts of $2.0 million. Year to date net sales declined 26.5% as a result of a weak backlog and an unfavorable currency impacts of $1.3 million.
Operating income for the second quarter declined to $2.8 million primarily as a result of the lower volumes. Unit margins improved as a result of operational and manufacturing improvements, but were more than offset by restructuring charges, increased expenses and unfavorable currency impacts. Year to date operating income was down due to lower sales levels, restructuring charges and an unfavorable currency impact.
Environmental Solutions
The following table summarizes the Environmental Solutions Group’s operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Orders of $77.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 were up 21.0% from the prior year period. U.S. orders increased 18.3%, or $9.1 million, from the prior year period with municipal sewer cleaners up $5.3 million and industrial vacuum trucks up $5.9 million, offset by weaker demand in the municipal sweepers of $2.8 million. Non-U.S. orders were up $4.3 from the prior year period. Year to date orders of

$164.8 million were up 25.7%, or $33.7 million from the prior year period. U.S. orders were up 26.3% or $27.3 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of increases in industrial vacuum trucks of $11.5 million, municipal sewer cleaners of $10.2 million and waterblasters of $2.8 million. Non-U.S. orders were up 23.4% or $6.4 million from the prior year period.
Net sales for the second quarter were slightly higher than the prior year period. Increases in sweepers and waterblaster shipments were offset by lower shipments of sewer cleaners and vacuum trucks as a result of a draw down on backlog in December 2009. Year to date net sales were down $10.5 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of lower backlog levels as compared to early 2009. Increased shipments of waterblasters and sweepers were more than offset by reductions in sewer cleaners and vacuum trucks.
Operating income for the second quarter was up 18.0% to $7.2 million from the prior year period due to higher gross margins resulting from cost reduction activities and 2009 restructuring benefits. Operating margin of 8.5% was up from 7.3% in 2009. Year to date operating income was up 18.5% from the 2009 period to $10.9 million largely due to gross margin improvements from cost reduction activities and benefits from the 2009 restructuring charges.
Federal Signal Technologies
The following table summarizes the Federal Signal Technology Group’s operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Depreciation and amortization $ 2.2     $ 1.0   $ 1.2 $ 3.5     $ 2.0     $ 1.5
Orders were up $22.9 million to $35.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year. U.S. orders were up $19.6 million primarily as a result of increases in parking systems of $10.0 million related to a contract renewal, orders attributed to the newly acquired businesses, Sirit and VESystems and $2.1 million of ALPR cameras. Non-U.S. orders were up $3.3 million. Orders were up $26.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to prior year. U.S. orders were up $22.6 million from the 2009 period primarily as a result of increases in parking systems of $10.1 million, orders from the newly acquired businesses of Sirit and VESystems and $2.9 million of ALPR cameras. Non-U.S. orders were up $3.6 million from the 2009 period.
Net sales increased $11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to prior year due to sales from the newly acquired businesses of Sirit, VESystems and Diamond and an increase in ALPR camera sales. Net sales increased $16.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to the newly acquired businesses.
Operating loss was $1.1 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to operating income of $1.2 million and $1.8 million in the respective prior year periods. The decrease in operating income is due to deferred retention payments from the acquisition of Diamond, increase in amortization expense as a result of the newly acquired businesses and restructuring charges due to facility consolidations and reorganization of management.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate expenses decreased to $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease was due largely to the $2.1 million in expenses associated with costs for a proxy contest initiated by an activist shareholder in 2009, a $0.5 million decrease in 2010 associated with headcount reductions and a $1.2 million decrease from medical expenses. The offset was from a $2.2 million increase in expenses associated with legal and trial costs associated with the Company’s ongoing firefighter hearing loss litigation and $1.1 million in expenses associated with the acquisitions of Sirit and VESystems and the related integration activities at FSTech in 2010.
Corporate expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $18.3 million and $16.8 million for the comparable period in 2009. The increase was due largely to the $1.5 million associated with legal and trial costs from the Company’s ongoing firefighter hearing loss litigation and $3.7 million in expenses associated with the acquisitions of Sirit and VESystems and integration activities at FSTech in 2010. The offset in 2010 was from a $0.3 million decrease associated with hearing loss insurance reimbursements and headcount reduction, a $0.9 million decrease from medical expenses and $2.7 million associated with the costs for a proxy contest initiated by an activist shareholder charged in 2009.
Corporate expenses included depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively and $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2009, respectively.

Seasonality of Company’s Business
Certain of the Company’s businesses are susceptible to the influences of seasonal buying or delivery patterns. The Company’s businesses which tend to have lower sales in the second calendar quarter compared to other quarters as a result of these influences are street sweeping, fire rescue products, outdoor warning, emergency signaling products and parking systems.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company utilizes its operating cash flow and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility for working capital needs of its operations, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions of companies operating in markets related to those already served, pension contributions, debt repayments, share repurchases and dividends.
The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:
                 
    Six months ended  
    June 30,  
($ in millions)   2010     2009

Other, net

Decrease in cash and cash equivalents
  $ (7.9 )   $ (11.3 )
 
           
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $7.9 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $20.6 million for the respective prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in cash used to support net working capital.
In May 2010, the Company issued 12.1 million common shares at a price of $6.25 per share for total gross proceeds of $75.5 million. After deducting direct fees, net proceeds totaled $71.0 million. Proceeds from the equity offering were used to pay down debt.
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company acquired two businesses that are key components to the development of the Company’s Intelligent Transportation Systems strategy. VESystems was acquired for $34.8 million, of which $24.6 million was a cash payment. Sirit was acquired for CDN $77.1 million (USD $74.9 million), all of which was paid in cash. The acquisitions were funded with the Company’s existing cash balances and debt drawn against the availability of the Company’s $250 million of revolving credit facility. In addition to the use of cash and debt, the Company issued 1.2 million shares of its common stock to fund a portion of the cost of purchasing VESystems. The issuances increased the total number of Company common stock shares outstanding.
Debt, net of cash, as a percentage of capitalization was 36.3% at June 30, 2010, versus 35.4% at December 31, 2009. The change was primarily due to the issuance of 12.1 million common shares described above, which resulted in an increase in shareholders’ equity and a decrease in debt.
At June 30, 2010, $157.9 million was drawn against the Company’s revolving credit facility which matures April 25, 2012. Borrowings under the facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the Base Rate or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges up to 0.75% for Base Rate borrowings and 1.00% to 2.00% for LIBOR borrowings depending on the Company’s total indebtedness to capital ratio. At June 30, 2010, the Company’s applicable margins over LIBOR and Base Rate borrowings were 1.50% and 0.25%, respectively.
The Company’s revolving credit facility and private placement notes contain certain financial covenants for each fiscal quarter end. For the Second Amended Credit Agreement and each of the Private Placement Note Agreements, covenants include a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio, an interest expense coverage ratio and a minimum net worth requirement. At June 30, 2010, all of the Company’s retained earnings were

29


 

free of any restrictions and the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and agreements. The Company expects to be in compliance with its covenants for the balance of the year.
As of June 30, 2010, €10.7 million (or $13.1 million), was drawn on the Alternative Currency Facility, a supplemental agreement under the Second Amended Credit Agreement and $144.8 million was drawn directly under the Second Amended Credit Agreement for a total of $157.9 million drawn under the Second Amended Credit Agreement leaving available borrowings of $92.1 million not including $30.6 million of capacity used for existing letters of credit.
At June 30, 2010, $8.0 million was drawn against the Company’s non-U.S. lines of credit which provide for borrowings up to $16.0 million.
Given the Company’s cash position and debt structure, the Company has not experienced any material liquidity issues. The Company has $10.3 million of private placement principal debt payments due over the next twelve months. The Company expects that with its existing liquidity and the opportunities available to raise capital in the near term, notwithstanding market conditions, it will meet all of its anticipated needs for liquidity during the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.
The Company is required to assess on an on-going basis, events or circumstances that may trigger an evaluation of goodwill for impairment, and test for impairment annually should no triggering event indicate the need for analysis in the interim. The Company’s practice is to group goodwill by operating segment. Due to the reorganization of the Company’s operating segments, an interim impairment test was performed in the second quarter of 2010 for the FSTech reporting unit which resulted in no impairment.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Short-term borrowings increased $8.0 million at June 30, 2010 from $0.0 million at December 31, 2009 primarily due to the funding of two acquired businesses in the first quarter of 2010. Total long-term borrowings increased to $227.7 million at June 30, 2010 from $202.7 million at December 31, 2009. See the Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this report for more information.
Changes to the Company’s accrual for product warranty claims in the six months ended June 30, 2010, is discussed in Note 11.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There has been no significant changes in our exposure to market risk since December 31, 2009.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010. We completed our acquisitions of VESystems, LLC and Sirit Inc. on March 2, 2010 and March 5, 2010, respectively. As permitted by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations, management’s assessment as of June 30, 2010 did not include the internal control of VESystems, LLC and Sirit Inc., which are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010. VESystems, LLC constituted $36.9 million and $35.5 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2010 and $5.8 million and $(0.3) million of net sales and net loss, respectively, for the six-month period then ended. Sirit Inc. constituted $99.7 million and $92.1 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2010 and $8.2 million and $(1.0) million of net sales and net loss, respectively, for the six-month period then ended.
Based on that evaluation, which excluded an assessment of internal control over financial reporting of the acquired operations of VESystems, LLC and Sirit Inc., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010. As a matter of practice, the Company’s management continues to review and document internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. From time to time, the Company may make changes aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the controls and to ensure that the systems evolve with the business. During the quarter, Rajan Sachar, Vice President of Internal Audit, was appointed to the position of Group Vice President, Finance for the FSTech Group. The Company is currently engaged in a search to fill the open Vice President of Internal Audit position. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

     The Board of Directors of the Company, and the Administrator of the Plan appointed by the Board of Directors, has determined that the interests of the Company will be advanced by encouraging and enabling certain of its employees to own shares of the common stock of the Company, and that Employee is one of those employees;
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of services rendered and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

          J. “Subsidiary” means any corporation, other than the Company, in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the relevant date, each of the corporations, other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain, owns stock possessing fifty percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
          K. “Vesting Date” means the date specified in Section 4.
Section 2. Award
     Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company awarded to Employee the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units set forth on the Award instrument applicable those Units, effective as of the Date of Award set forth on such instrument.
     A Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Award entitles the Employee to receive a whole number of shares of Stock equal to a percentage, from zero to two hundred percent, based on the Total Shareholder Return during the Performance Period, of the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that are subject to the Award, as described in this Section.
     If the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is less than 25%, the Employee shall be entitled to receive no shares with respect to the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award.
     If the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is at least 25% but less than 50%, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares equal to 25% percent of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, plus three additional percent of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award for each whole percent of the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank above 25% (for a total of 100% if the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is 50%).
     If the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is at least 50% but less than 75%, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares equal to 100% percent of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, plus two additional percent of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award for each whole percent of the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank above 50% (for a total of 150% if the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is 75%).
     If the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is at least 75% but less than 90%, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares equal to 150% percent of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, plus three and one-third additional percent of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award for each whole percent of the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank above 75% (rounded up to the nearest whole percent) (for a total of 200% if the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is 90% or more).

3


 

     If the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is 90% or more, the Employee shall be entitled to receive 200% percent of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award.
     For example, if the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is 40%, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares equal to 70% of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award; and if the Company’s Peer Percentile Rank is 60%, the Employee shall be entitled to receive shares equal to 120% of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award.
     The Company’s Peer Percentile Rank shall be determined by dividing the number of corporations in the Peer Group with a lower Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) than the Company’s TSR, by twenty-three (the total number of corporations in the Peer Group) (rounded up to the nearest whole percent), where:
  (a)   The Peer Group of corporations is attached as Exhibit A;
 
  (b)   TSR of a corporation means the sum of its Change in Stock Price plus dividends paid by the corporation during the Performance Period, divided by its Beginning Stock Price;
 
  (c)   Change in Stock Price means the difference between the Ending Stock Price and the Beginning Stock Price;
 
  (d)   Beginning Stock Price means the average daily closing price per share of the corporation’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or other applicable exchange) for the 30consecutive trading days immediately preceding the first day of the Performance Period; and
 
  (e)   Ending Stock Price means the average daily closing price per share of the corporation’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or other applicable exchange) for the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the last business day of the Performance Period.
     For example, if the TSR of the Company was higher than the TSR of fifteen of the twenty-three corporations in the Peer Group, its Peer Percentile Rank would be 65%, and Employee would be entitled to receive shares equal to 130% of the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award.
     This grant of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units shall not confer any right to the Employee (or any other Employee) to be granted Performance Based Restricted Stock Units or other Awards in the future under the Plan.
Section 3. Bookkeeping Account
     The Company shall record the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder to a bookkeeping account for Employee (the “Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account”). Employee’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account shall be

4


 

debited by the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units, if any, forfeited in accordance with Section 4 and by the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units with respect to which shares of Stock were transferred to Employee in accordance with Section 5.
Section 4. Vesting
     Subject to the accelerated vesting provisions provided below, the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period, if Employee remains employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries through such date.
     If, during the Performance Period, the Employee dies or terminates employment on account of his Permanent Disability, the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be fully vested immediately.
     If during the Performance Period, the Employee terminates employment by reason of retirement (as determined by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion), the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be fully vested immediately.
     The Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award also shall be fully vested upon the occurrence of a Change in Control during the Performance Period or upon the occurrence of the event(s) described in Section 4.1 below.
     In the event of the termination of employment of Employee with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any other reason before the end of the Performance Period, all Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that are not vested at the time of such termination of employment normally shall be forfeited.
Section 4.1 Acceleration of Vesting of Shares in the Event of Divestiture of Business Segment
     In the event that the “Business Segment” (as that term is defined in this Section below) in which the Employee is primarily employed as of the “Divestiture Date” (as that term is defined in this Section below) is the subject of a “Divestiture of a Business Segment” (as that term is defined in this Section below), and such divestiture results in the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries for any reason, the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be fully vested.
     For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Business Segment” shall mean a business line which the Company treats as a separate business segment under the segment reporting rules under generally accepted accounting principles as used in the United States, which currently includes the following: Safety and Security Group, Fire Rescue and Environmental Solutions Group. Likewise, the term “Divestiture Date” shall mean the date that a transaction constituting a Divestiture of a Business Segment is finally consummated.
     For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Divestiture of a Business Segment” means the following:

5


 

  (a)   When used with reference to the sale of stock or other securities of a Business Segment that is or becomes a separate corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other separate business entity, the sale, exchange, transfer, distribution or other disposition of the ownership, either beneficially or of record or both, by the Company or one of its subsidiaries to “Nonaffiliated Persons” (as that term is defined in this Section below) of 100% of either (i) the then-outstanding common stock (or the equivalent equity interests) of the Business Segment or (ii) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Business Segment entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors or the equivalent governing body of the Business Segment;
 
  (b)   When used with reference to the merger or consolidation of a Business Segment that is or becomes a separate corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other separate business entity, any such transaction that results in Nonaffiliated Persons owning, either beneficially or of record or both, 100% of either (i) the then-outstanding common stock (or the equivalent equity interests) of the Business Segment or (ii) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Business Segment entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors or the equivalent governing body of the Business Segment; or
 
  (c)   When used with reference to the sale of the assets of the Business Segment, the sale, exchange, transfer, liquidation, distribution or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Business Segment necessary or required to operate the Business Segment in the manner that the Business Segment had been operated prior to the Divestiture Date.
Section 5. Distribution of Shares
     Subject to the provisions below (including a pro rata reduction in the number of shares payable in the event of an early termination of employment or Change in Control), the number of shares of Stock earned in accordance with Section 2, determined as of the end of the Performance Period, with respect to Performance Based Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 4, shall become distributable as of the end of the Performance Period (regardless of whether the shares vest earlier).
     If, during the Performance Period, the Employee dies, terminates employment on account of Permanent Disability, or terminates employment by reason of retirement (as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion), the number of shares of Stock that otherwise would be earned in accordance with Section 2 shall be prorated based on the number of days during the Performance Period that the Employee remained employed. Such number of shares of Stock shall become distributable as of the end of the Performance Period (regardless of whether the shares vest earlier).
     If during the Performance Period the Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of the Divestiture of a Business Segment (as defined in Section 4.1), the number of shares of Stock

6


 

that otherwise would be earned in accordance with Section 2 shall be prorated based on the number of days during the Performance Period that the Employee remained employed. Such number of shares of Stock shall become distributable as of the end of the Performance Period (regardless of whether the shares vest earlier).
     If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a number of shares equal to 100% percent of the Performance Based Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award prorated based on the number of days during the Performance Period before the date of the Change in Control shall become distributable on the date of the Change in Control.
     Such shares shall be distributed as soon as administratively feasible after the date prescribed above; but no later than two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the specified date occurs.
Section 6. Shareholder Rights
     Employee shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to Performance Based Restricted Stock Units, such as the right to vote or the right to dividends.
Section 7. Death Benefits
     Shares payable on account of death of an Employee during the Performance Period shall be transferred to the Employee’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries as soon as practical after the end of the Performance Period (regardless of whether the shares vest earlier), but no later than two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends.

Section 9. Adjustment in Certain Events
     If there is any change in the Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, combinations or exchanges of shares or the like, the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units credited to Employee’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account shall be adjusted appropriately so that the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units credited to Employee’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account after such an event shall equal the number of shares of Stock a shareholder would own after such an event if the shareholder, at the time such an event occurred, had owned shares of Stock equal to the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units credited to Employee’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Account immediately before such an event.

     The Company shall not be obligated to transfer any shares of Stock until Employee pays to the Company or a Subsidiary in cash, or any other form of property, including Stock, acceptable to the Company, the amount required to be withheld from the wages of Employee with respect to such shares. Employee may elect to have such withholding satisfied by a reduction of the number of shares otherwise transferable under this Agreement at such time, such reduction to be calculated based on the closing market price of the Stock on the day Employee gives written notice of such election to the Company.

     Shares of Stock transferable to Employee, or his Beneficiary, under this Agreement may be either Treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or any combination of such stock.

REGENCY TOWERS, 1415 W. 22ND ST., OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS 60523
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Federal Signal Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results
—Highlights—
 
Q2 Orders Increased 23% vs. 2009 Driven by Industrial Markets and FSTech businesses
 
Q2 Net Sales Flat, Gross Margin Higher vs. Q2 2009
 
Q2 Reported EPS from Continuing Operations of $0.02
 
Q2 Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations (Excluding Restructuring Charges) of $0.06
Oak Brook, Ill.,— Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE: FSS), a leader in environmental, safety and transportation solutions, announced today second quarter reported earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.02 on income of $1.4 million and net sales of $198.7 million. Excluding restructuring charges, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations would be $0.06 for the second quarter. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations excludes $3.7 million of pre-tax restructuring related charges. For the same period of 2009, the Company reported earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.09 on income of $4.4 million and net sales of $198.5 million. The year over year second quarter income decline was primarily due to the restructuring charges as well as $1.1 million in acquisition and integration costs related to the Sirit and VESystems acquisitions. The Company’s earnings per share calculation was also impacted by an increased number of outstanding shares related to the equity offering completed in May 2010.
Year to date, the Company reported a loss per share of $(0.03) from continuing operations on net sales of $365.2 million as compared to earnings per share from continuing operations in 2009 of $0.10. The year over year reduction is primarily related to lower first quarter net sales, restructuring charges of $4.0 million, and $3.7 million in acquisition and integration costs. Excluding restructuring charges year to date 2010, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations would be $0.02.
William H. Osborne, president and chief executive officer, stated, “We continued to see positive signs across many of our businesses in the quarter, but our near-term expectations have been tempered by economic conditions in Europe. We saw a 23% increase in total company orders versus last year, including a 16% increase in orders for our existing businesses. We achieved order growth rates in excess of 15% in many of our key businesses: PIPS Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras, parking, industrial safety and security, Vactor sewer cleaners and Jetstream waterblasters. However, as the European debt crisis unfolded, we saw a significant drop in the order rate for some of our European-based businesses. As an example, Q2 orders for our Bronto Skylift business were 37% below Q1 orders.”
Mr. Osborne continued, “As we have previously discussed, this quarter we established a new operating group — Federal Signal Technologies, or “FSTech”, which consists of our PIPS ALPR business, our parking business and our three recent acquisitions: Sirit, VESystems and Diamond Consulting Services. Due to the change in our business group structure, as well as some other changes across the company, we recognized a $3.7 million restructuring charge in the quarter. The expected annualized savings from the restructuring actions are well in excess of the second quarter charge, and will position the company for improved profitability as we move forward.”

 


 

The Company recorded a net loss of $(0.4) million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to a net loss of $(4.9) million in the prior year period. Year to date, the net loss was $(4.0) million and $(3.9) million for 2010 and 2009, respectively. The losses in both 2009 and 2010 are primarily related to the discontinuation of Ravo which was sold in 2009, and also the 2010 second quarter discontinuation of Riverchase, a business in the Safety and Security Systems group.
GROUP RESULTS (excluding restructuring related charges)
Safety and Security Systems
The following table summarizes the Safety and Security Systems Group’s operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Orders of $54.6 million for the second quarter were flat year over year. U.S. orders were down slightly with lower municipal spending, offset partially by strong industrial demand. Non-U.S. orders were slightly favorable driven by strong demand for industrial products, partially offset by weaker demand for fire and police products and an unfavorable currency impact. Year to date orders were up $5.2 million driven by strong demand in non-U.S. orders for industrial products as well as a large European police order partially offset by lower U.S. municipal spending.
 
Net sales of $57.2 million for the quarter were down slightly from the prior year quarter as a result of soft municipal demand for fire and police products, the absence of a large order placed in 2009 and unfavorable currency impacts of $1.0 million. Partially offsetting this decline was strong industrial demand. Similarly, year to date net sales were down $4.4 million as a result of weak municipal demand and the absence of a large 2009 order which decline was offset partially by strong industrial demand.
 
For the quarter and year to date, operating income and margins were up compared to the prior year periods with operating expense improvements more than offsetting net sales declines and unfavorable currency impacts.

 


 

Fire Rescue
The following table summarizes the Fire Rescue Group’s operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Orders for the second quarter decreased 6.1% from the second quarter of 2009 with weakness in the European fire-lift market and an unfavorable currency impact of $1.6 million. Year to date orders were up 22.8% to $51.6 million primarily as result of strong demand for the fire-lift product in Asia. Demand for the industrial market continues to lag as a result of the global economic recession.
 
Net sales declined 28.7% in the second quarter primarily as a result of lower volumes with the weaker industrial and rental markets and unfavorable currency impacts of $2.0 million. Year to date net sales declined 26.5% as a result of a weak backlog and unfavorable currency impacts of $1.3 million.
 
Operating income for the second quarter compared to the prior year declined primarily as a result of the lower volumes. Unit margins improved as a result of operational and manufacturing improvements, but were more than offset by increased expenses and unfavorable currency impacts. Year to date operating income was down due to lower net sales levels and an unfavorable currency impact.
Environmental Solutions
The following table summarizes the Environmental Solutions Group’s operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Orders of $77.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 were up 21.0% from the prior year period. U.S. orders increased 18.3%, or $9.1 million, from the prior year period with municipal sewer cleaners up $5.3 million and industrial vacuum trucks up $5.9 million, offset by weaker demand in the municipal sweepers of $2.8 million. Non-U.S. orders were up $4.3 from the prior year period. Year to date orders of $164.8 million were up 25.7%, or $33.7 million from the prior year period. U.S. orders were up 26.3% or $27.3 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of increases in industrial vacuum trucks of $11.5 million, municipal sewer cleaners of $10.2 million and waterblasters of $2.8 million. Non-U.S. orders were up 23.4% or $6.4 million from the prior year period.
 
Net sales for the second quarter were slightly higher than the prior year period. Increases in sweepers and waterblaster shipments were offset by lower shipments of sewer cleaners and vacuum trucks as a result of a draw down on backlog in December 2009. Year to date net sales were down $10.5 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of lower backlog levels as compared to early 2009. Increased shipments of waterblasters and sweepers were more than offset by reductions in sewer cleaners and vacuum trucks.

 


 

 
Operating income and margins for the second quarter and year to date were up from the prior year period due to higher gross margins resulting from cost reduction activities and 2009 restructuring benefits.
Federal Signal Technologies
The following table summarizes the Federal Signal Technology Group’s operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

(*)   Excludes restructuring related charges
 
Orders were up $22.9 million to $35.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year. U.S. orders were up $19.6 million primarily as a result of increases in parking systems of $10.0 million related to a contract renewal, orders attributed to the newly acquired businesses, Sirit and VESystems and $2.1 million of ALPR cameras. Non-U.S. orders were up $3.3 million. Orders were up $26.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to prior year. U.S. orders were up $22.6 million from the 2009 period primarily as a result of increases in parking systems of $10.1 million, orders from the newly acquired businesses of Sirit and VESystems and $2.9 million of ALPR cameras. Non-U.S. orders were up $3.6 million from the 2009 period.
 
Net sales increased $11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to prior year due to net sales from the newly acquired businesses of Sirit, VESystems and Diamond and an increase in ALPR camera net sales. Net sales increased $16.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to the newly acquired businesses.
 
Operating income and margins were down for the second quarter and year to date compared to prior year as a result of deferred retention payments from the acquisition of Diamond and an increase in amortization expense as a result of the newly acquired businesses.
CORPORATE EXPENSES, ADJUSTED (excluding restructuring related charges)
 
Corporate expenses (excluding restructuring related charges) for the second quarter decreased to $9.6 million compared to $10.7 million in 2009. The decrease was due largely to the $2.1 million in expenses associated with costs for a proxy contest initiated by an activist shareholder in 2009, a $1.2 million decrease from medical expenses and $0.5 million decrease associated with headcount reductions. The offset was from a $2.2 million increase in expenses associated with legal and trial costs associated with the Company’s ongoing firefighter hearing loss litigation and $1.1 million in expenses associated with the acquisitions of Sirit and VESystems and the integration of FSTech in 2010.
 
Year to date corporate expenses (excluding restructuring related charges) were $17.7 million and $16.8 million for the comparable period in 2009. The increase was due largely to the $1.5 million associated with legal and trial costs from the Company’s ongoing firefighter hearing loss litigation and $3.7 million in expenses associated with the acquisitions of Sirit and VESystems and integration of FSTech in 2010. The offset in 2010 was from a $0.3 million decrease associated with hearing loss insurance reimbursements, a $0.9 million decrease from medical expenses and $2.7 million associated with the costs for a proxy contest initiated by an activist shareholder charged in 2009.

SUPPLEMENTAL DATA
In this news release, Federal Signal uses non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of SEC Regulation G, a “non-GAAP financial measure” is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Operating and statistical measures and certain ratios and other statistical measures are not non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Federal Signal has used the financial measures that are included in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Federal Signal’s management believes that these measures (including those that are “non-GAAP financial measures”) and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Federal Signal’s performance using the same tools that Federal Signal uses and to better evaluate Federal Signal’s ongoing business performance. The Company’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EPS” and “Operating income (loss), adjusted” are more meaningful to investors because they provide investors with an understanding of the profitability of our segments excluding certain charges and is more meaningful than in the past because of the magnitude of the charges in 2010.
