VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 29, 2014, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Shareholders' Equity for the thirteen week periods then ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the financial statements as of March 29, 2014 and for all periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013. The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in these interim financial statements are the same as those followed in the financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2013. The results of operations for the period ended March 29, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Approximately 44% and 43% of inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. All other inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or market. Finished goods and manufactured goods inventories include the costs of acquired raw materials and related factory labor and overhead charges required to convert raw materials to manufactured and finished goods. The excess of replacement cost of inventories over the LIFO value is approximately $45,601 and $45,204 at March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.

Earnings before income taxes and equity in earnings of nonconsolidated subsidiaries for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, were as follows:

The Company incurs expenses in connection with the Delta Pension Plan ("DPP"). The DPP was acquired as part of the Delta plc acquisition in fiscal 2010 and has no members that are active employees. In order to measure expense and the related benefit obligation, various assumptions are made including discount rates used to value the obligation, expected return on plan assets used to fund these expenses and estimated future inflation rates. These assumptions are based on historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances. An actuarial analysis is used to measure the expense and liability associated with pension benefits.

The components of the net periodic pension expense for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 were as follows:

The Company maintains stock-based compensation plans approved by the shareholders, which provide that the Human Resource Committee of the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-vested stock awards and bonuses of common stock. At March 29, 2014, 1,476,466 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the plans. Shares and options issued and available are subject to changes in capitalization.

Under the plans, the exercise price of each option equals the closing market price at the date of the grant. Options vest beginning on the first anniversary of the grant in equal amounts over three to six years or on the fifth anniversary of the grant.

Expiration of grants is from six to ten years from the date of grant. The Company's compensation expense (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) and associated income tax benefits related to stock options for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively, were as follows:

The Company has equity method investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries, which are recorded within "Other assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In February 2013, the Company sold its nonconsolidated investment in Manganese Materials Company Pty. Ltd. to the majority owner of the business for approximately $29,250. The profit on the sale was not significant, which included the recognition of $5,194 in currency translation adjustments previously recorded as part of "Accumulated other comprehensive income" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company also recognized certain deferred tax benefits of approximately $3,200 associated with the sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820") which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Trading Securities: The assets and liabilities recorded for the investments held in the Valmont Deferred Compensation Plan of $34,175 ($27,133 in December 2013) represent mutual funds, invested in debt and equity securities, classified as trading securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 320, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, considering the employee's ability to change investment allocation of their deferred compensation at any time. The Company's ownership in Delta EMD Pty. Ltd. (JSE:DTA) of $10,255 and $13,910 is recorded at fair value at March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. Quoted market prices are available for these securities in an active market and therefore categorized as a Level 1 input.

Comprehensive income includes net earnings, currency translation adjustments, certain derivative-related activity and changes in net actuarial gains/losses from a pension plan. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet dates. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of the following at March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013:

On March 3, 2014, the Company purchased 90% of the outstanding shares of DS SM A/S, which was renamed Valmont SM. Valmont SM is a manufacturer of heavy complex steel structures for a diverse range of industries including wind energy, offshore oil and gas, and electricity transmission. Valmont SM's operations are reported in the Engineered Infrastructure Products Segment. Valmont SM's annual sales are approximately $190,000 and operates two manufacturing locations in Denmark. The purchase price paid for the business at closing (net of $56 cash acquired) was $120,483, including the payoff of an intercompany loan. The purchase is subject to an earn-out clause that is contingent on meeting future operational metrics for which no liability has been established based on current expectations. Additionally, the fair value measurements are subject to a trade working capital adjustment that has not yet been finalized. The acquisition, which was funded by cash held by the Company, was completed to participate in markets for wind energy, oil and gas exploration, power transmission and other related infrastructure markets. The excess purchase price over the fair value of assets resulted in goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

The preliminary fair value measurement was completed at March 29, 2014, subject to management reviews and completion of the fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects the fair value measurement process to be completed in the second quarter of 2014.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.

	At March 3, 2014

Current assets	$	73,421
Property, plant and equipment		69,438
Intangible assets		59,110
Goodwill		4,885


Total fair value of assets acquired	$	206,854


Current liabilities		50,953
Deferred income taxes		17,245
Intercompany note payable		37,448
Long-term debt		8,941
Non-controlling interests		9,232


Total fair value of liabilities assumed		123,819


Net assets acquired	$	83,035

The Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 included net sales and net earnings of $17,304 and $1,178, respectively, resulting from Valmont SM's operations from March 3, 2014 to March 29, 2014. No pro forma information for 2014 has been provided as it does not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Based on the preliminary fair value assessments, the Company allocated $59,110 of the purchase price to acquired intangible assets. The following table summarizes the major classes of Valmont SM's acquired intangible assets and the respective weighted average amortization periods:

On February 5, 2013, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of Locker Group Holdings Pty. Ltd. ("Locker"). Locker is a manufacturer of perforated and expanded metal for the non-residential market, industrial flooring and handrails for the access systems market, and screening media for applications in the industrial and mining sectors in Australia and Asia. Locker's operations are reported in the Engineered Infrastructure Products Segment. The purchase price paid for the business at closing (net of $116 cash acquired) was $53,152. In addition, a maximum of $7,911 additional purchase price may be paid to the sellers upon the achievement of certain gross profit and inventory targets over the next two years. The Company determined the present value of the potential additional purchase price at February 5, 2013 to be $7,178. The acquisition, which was funded by cash held by the Company, was completed to expand our product offering and sales coverage for access systems and related products in Asia Pacific.

In December 2013, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of Armorflex International Ltd. ("Armorflex") for $10,000. Armorflex is a company holding proprietary intellectual property for products serving the highway safety market. In the preliminary measurement of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we recorded goodwill of $6,864 and an aggregate of $3,792 for customer relationships, patented technology and other intangible assets. The fair value measurements are not yet complete, due to final working capital calculations and certain income tax measurements that have not been finalized. The Company expects these measurements to be completed in the second quarter of 2014. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Armorflex is included in the Engineered Infrastructure Products segment and was acquired to expand the Company's highway safety product offerings in the Asia Pacific region. This acquisition did not have a significant effect on the Company's fiscal 2013 financial results.

The Company's Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 included net sales of $34,581 and net earnings of $1,686 resulting from the Valmont SM, Locker, and

Armorflex acquisitions. The pro forma effect of these acquisitions on the first quarter of 2013 Statement of Earnings was as follows:

The components of amortized intangible assets at March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were as follows:

Amortization expense for intangible assets for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively was as follows:

Estimated annual amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets is as follows:

The useful lives assigned to finite-lived intangible assets included consideration of factors such as the Company's past and expected experience related to customer retention rates, the remaining legal or contractual life of the underlying arrangement that resulted in the recognition of the intangible asset and the Company's expected use of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. The carrying values of trade names at March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were as follows:

In its determination of these intangible assets as indefinite-lived, the Company considered such factors as its expected future use of the intangible asset, legal, regulatory, technological and competitive factors that may impact the useful life or value of the intangible asset and the expected costs to maintain the value of the intangible asset. The Company expects that these intangible assets will maintain their value indefinitely. Accordingly, these assets are not amortized.

The Company's trade names were tested for impairment in the third quarter of 2013 (exclusive of Valmont SM acquired in the first quarter of 2014). The values of the trade names were determined using the relief-from-royalty method. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that its trade names were not impaired.

The carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 was as follows:

The goodwill from acquisitions arose from the acquisition of Valmont SM in the first quarter of 2014. The Company's goodwill was tested for impairment during the third quarter of 2013. As a result of that testing, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired, as the valuation of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. The Company continues to monitor changes in the global economy that could impact future operating results of its reporting units. If such conditions arise, the Company will test a given reporting unit for impairment prior to the annual test.

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash payments for interest and income taxes (net of refunds) for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 were as follows:

The following table provides a reconciliation between Basic and Diluted earnings per share (EPS):

At March 29, 2014 there were 1,172 outstanding stock options with exercise prices exceeding the market price of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ending March 29, 2014. At March 30, 2013, there were no outstanding stock options with exercise prices exceeding the market price of common stock.

The Company has four reportable segments based on its management structure. Each segment is global in nature with a manager responsible for segment operational performance and the allocation of capital within the segment. Net corporate expense is net of certain service-related expenses that are allocated to business units generally on the basis of employee headcounts and sales dollars.

ENGINEERED INFRASTRUCTURE PRODUCTS: This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered metal structures and components for the global lighting and traffic, wireless communication, wind energy, offshore oil and gas, roadway safety and access systems applications;

UTILITY SUPPORT STRUCTURES: This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered steel and concrete structures for the global utility industry;

The Company has $450,000 principal amount of senior unsecured notes outstanding at a coupon interest rate of 6.625% per annum. The notes are guaranteed, jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally by certain of the Company's current and future direct and indirect domestic and foreign subsidiaries (collectively the "Guarantors"), excluding its other current domestic and foreign subsidiaries which do not guarantee the debt (collectively referred to as the "Non-Guarantors"). All Guarantors are 100% owned by the parent company.

In 2014, the Company classified "Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated subsidiaries" as an adjustment to reconcile net earnings to operating cash flows, as part of "Net cash flows from operating activities" in the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows. In the 2013 Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows, these amounts were classified within "Other, net", as part of "Net cash flows from investing activities". The Company revised its presentation for 2013 with respect to the supplemental information included in this footnote in order to achieve comparability in the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows.

The revisions consisted of recording the amounts previously reported in "Other, net" in cash flows from investing activities that were related to earnings from subsidiaries to "Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated subsidiaries" in cash flows from operating activities. Accordingly, the eliminations to reconcile consolidated net earnings are contained in the "Net cash flows from operating activities".

The "Non-Guarantor" and "Total" columns were not affected by any of these revisions. There was also no effect on the consolidated (total) net cash flows or any other statements in this footnote. The following is a reconciliation of the columns affected for 2013.

On a consolidated basis, the decrease in net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with 2013, reflected lower sales in all reportable segments except for the Engineered Infrastructure Products (EIP) segment. Fiscal 2014 refers to the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014 and fiscal 2013 refers to the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2013. The changes in net sales in fiscal 2014, as compared with fiscal 2013, were as follows:

Volume effects are estimated based on a physical production or sales measure, products we sell are not uniform in nature, pricing and mix relate to a combination of changes in sales prices and the attributes of the product sold. Accordingly, pricing and mix changes do not necessarily directly result in operating income changes.

Acquisitions included Locker Group Holdings ("Locker"), Armorflex International Ltd. ("Armorflex"), and DS SM A/S ("DS SM"). We acquired Locker in February 2013, Armorflex in December 2013, and DS SM in March 2014. All of these acquisitions are reported in the Engineered Infrastructure Products segment. In the "Other" category, the decrease of $7.0 million reflects the deconsolidation of Delta EMD Pty. Ltd. ("EMD") in December 2013, following the reduction of our ownership in the operation to below 50%.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we realized a decrease in operating profit, as compared with fiscal 2013, due to currency translation effects. On average, the U.S. dollar strengthened in particular against the Australian dollar, Brazilian Real and South Africa Rand, resulting in less operating profit in U.S. dollar terms. The breakdown of this effect by segment was as follows:

The decrease in gross margin (gross profit as a percent of sales) in fiscal 2014, as compared with 2013, was due to a combination of lower sales prices and an unfavorable sales mix, and slightly higher raw material costs in 2014, as compared with 2013.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) spending in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with the same period in 2013, decreased mainly due to the following factors:

The decrease in operating income on a reportable segment basis in 2014, as compared to 2013, was due to reduced operating performance in the Utility and Irrigation segments. The EIP and Coatings segments showed slightly improved operating performance in 2014 compared to 2013. The "Other" category reported reduced operating performance in 2014 compare to 2013, mainly due to lower grinding media sales.

Net interest expense decreased slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with 2013, due to higher interest income of $0.4 million due to more cash on hand and available for investment. Interest expense was consistent in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013.

The increase in other expense in the first quarter of 2014, as compared with 2013, was mainly attributable to recording the change in fair value of the Company's investment in EMD of $3.4 million. The remaining increase is related to foreign exchange transaction losses due to currency volatility and a smaller increase in deferred compensation assets of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013.

Our effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was higher than the same period in fiscal 2013, principally due to approximately $3.2 million of non-cash tax benefits associated with the first quarter 2013 sale of our nonconsolidated investment in South Africa and higher research and development tax credits in 2013. The 2014 effective tax rate was also negatively affected by the unrealized loss in our investment in EMD being capital in nature and not resulting in an income tax benefit. After consideration of these factors, the effective tax rate for 2013 and 2014 were comparable and between 33% and 34%.

Earnings in non-consolidated subsidiaries were lower in fiscal 2014, as compared with 2013, with no activity in 2014. In 2013, the balance was minimal due to the sale of our 49% owned manganese materials operation in February 2013. There was no significant gain or loss on the sale.

Our cash flows provided by operations were approximately $21.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with $64.6 million provided by operations in 2013. The decrease in operating cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was the result of decreased net earnings and higher net working capital, as compared with 2013.

The increase in net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared with 2013 was mainly due to the acquisition of DS SM in early March 2014. Global lighting sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were slightly improved compared to the same period in fiscal 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, sales in North America and Europe were comparable with 2013. The transportation market for lighting and traffic structures in North America was lower in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, due to harsh weather conditions. The transportation market also continues to be challenging, due in part to the lack of long-term U.S. federal highway funding legislation. Sales in other market channels such as sales to lighting fixture manufacturers and commercial construction projects in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 improved somewhat as compared with the same period in 2013, reflecting slightly stronger economic conditions in the U.S. In the Asia Pacific region, sales improved in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 over 2013 due in part to the India plant that is now fully operational.

Communication product line sales were up slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with the same period in fiscal 2013. On a regional basis, North American sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 declined slightly over the same period in fiscal 2013. The decrease in North America sales was mainly attributable to lower shipments of components, which we believe were due to harsh weather conditions that limited installation activity. In China, sales of wireless communication structures in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was higher than the same period in fiscal 2013. Chinese wireless carriers are increasing investment in 4G upgrades, as the government began issuing licenses late in 2013.

Access systems product line sales decreased in the first quarter of 2014, as compared with 2013, primarily due to the negative impact of currency translation of $5.0 million. Otherwise, access systems sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were comparable with 2013, as the full 2014 effect of the Locker acquisition (approximately $4.5 million) was largely offset by slowness in mining sector investment in Australia. Highway safety product sales improved in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 2013, due to the acquisition of Armorflex in December 2013 (approximately $1.3 million) and modestly improved market conditions in Australia with more highway construction projects this year. This improvement is offset somewhat by negative currency translation effects.

Operating income for the segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased, as compared with the same period of fiscal 2013, due primarily to operating profit generated from DS SM of $1.9 million, offset somewhat by unfavorable currency translation effects of $0.5 million.

SG&A spending was flat when comparing the first quarter of 2014 to 2013. SG&A spending in the first quarter of 2014 included costs related to the Armorflex and DS SM acquisitions totaling $1.5 million. These increased costs were offset by currency effects of $1.2 million and approximately $0.7 million in lower incentive expenses.

In the Utility segment, the sales decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with 2013, was due a combination of lower sales volumes in North America and international markets and an unfavorable sales order mix in North America. In North America, sales volumes in tons were down slightly in 2014, as compared with 2013, in part due to shipment delays and lower sales backlogs at the beginning of the quarter, as compared with 2013. We believe industry supply and demand are now more aligned as compared with this time in 2013, as we and our competitors have increased production capacity to meet demand. We believe this has resulted in increased price competition for certain portions of the market where orders are awarded based on competitive bidding. International sales were lower in the first quarter of 2014, as compared with the same period of 2013, primarily due to lower sales in the Asia Pacific region. International utility sales are more dependent on bid projects than North America.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2014, as compared with 2013, decreased due to lower sales volumes, less favorable sales pricing and mix and reduced leverage of fixed costs. The decrease in SG&A expense in the first quarter of 2014, as compared with 2013, was mainly due to decreased employee incentives of $1.6 million due to lower operating income, offset by higher employee compensation due to increased headcount to support increased business levels in the last half of 2013 and long-term growth.

Coatings segment sales decreased in the first quarter of 2014, as compared with 2013, primarily due to currency translation effects related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar of $4.4 million and lower sales volumes in the Asia Pacific region. In North America, sales volumes for galvanizing services were comparable with 2013, despite unfavorable winter weather conditions that affected our customers. Asia Pacific volumes in 2014 were lower than 2013 due to weak demand in Australia, offset somewhat by improved sales volumes in Asia. Unit pricing in 2014 was lower than 2013 due to sales mix.

The increase in segment operating income in the first quarter of 2014, as compared with 2013, was mainly associated with North America. Despite lower sales volumes in Asia Pacific, operating income in 2014 was comparable with 2013, principally due to cost containment measures, including the reduction of capacity in Australia in the second quarter of 2013.

The decrease in Irrigation segment net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with 2013, was mainly due to sales volume decreases in the North American market. The decrease in North America was offset to an extent by increased sales volumes in International markets. In North America, lower expected net farm income in 2014, as compared with 2013, and much lower sales backlogs at the beginning of the year resulted in lower sales of irrigation equipment in 2014, as compared with 2013. In international markets, sales improved in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with 2013, mainly due to increased activity in Brazil, Eastern Europe and Australia. On balance, sales in other international regions in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were slightly higher or comparable to the same periods of a strong fiscal 2013.

Operating income for the segment declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 over 2013, due to the sales volume decrease and associated operating deleverage of fixed operating costs. The most significant reason for the slight decrease in SG&A expense in 2014, as compared with 2013, related to decreased employee incentives of $0.5 million due to reduced operating profit.

This unit includes the grinding media, industrial tubing, and industrial fasteners operations. The decrease in sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with 2013, was mainly due lower sales volumes due primarily to the deconsolidation of EMD in December 2013 (approximately $7.0 million), lower sales volumes in the grinding media operations and exchange rate translation effects. Grinding media volumes were negatively affected by less favorable Australian mining industry demand. Tubing sales in 2014 were comparable with 2013. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was lower than the same period in 2013, due to lower grinding media profitability and currency translation effects.

Net corporate expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased over the same period in fiscal 2013. These decreases were mainly due to:

Working Capital and Operating Cash Flows—Net working capital was $1,115.2 million at March 29, 2014, as compared with $1,161.3 million at December 28, 2013. The decrease in net working capital in 2014 mainly resulted from decreased cash on hand due to the acquisition of DS SM. Cash flow provided by operations was $21.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with $64.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in operating cash flow in 2014 was the result of lower net earnings and higher working capital in 2014, as compared with 2013.

Investing Cash Flows—Capital spending in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $23.5 million, as compared with $21.8 million for the same period in 2013. The most significant capital spending projects in 2014 included certain investments in machinery and equipment across all businesses. We expect our capital spending for the 2014 fiscal year to be approximately $100 million. In 2013, investing cash flows

included proceeds from asset sales of $29.4 million, received from the sale of our 49% owned non-consolidated subsidiary in South Africa. Investing cash flows also includes $120.5 million paid for the DS SM acquisition in the first quarter of 2014 and $54.7 million paid for the Locker acquisition in 2013.

Financing Cash Flows—Our total interest-bearing debt increased slightly to $494.2 million at March 29, 2014 from $490.1 million at December 28, 2013. Financing cash flows overall were lower in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared with the same period in 2013. The main reason for the decrease related to additional short-term borrowings, offset to an extent by lower dividends to noncontrolling interest and increased tax benefits from stock option exercises.

We have historically funded our growth, capital spending and acquisitions through a combination of operating cash flows and debt financing. We have an internal long-term objective to maintain long-term debt as a percent of invested capital at or below 40%. At March 29, 2014, our long-term debt to invested capital ratio was 21.6%, as compared with 22.3% at December 28, 2013. Subject to our level of acquisition activity and steel industry operating conditions (which could affect the levels of inventory we need to fulfill customer commitments), we plan to maintain this ratio below 40% in 2014.

Our debt financing at March 29, 2014 consisted primarily of long-term debt. We also maintain certain short-term bank lines of credit totaling $114.5 million, $100.5 million of which was unused at March 29, 2014. Our long-term debt principally consists of:

At March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement has a termination date of August 15, 2017, and contains certain financial covenants that may limit our additional borrowing capability under the agreement. At March 29, 2014, we had the ability to borrow $382.4 million under this facility, after consideration of standby letters of credit of $17.6 million associated with certain insurance obligations and international sales commitments.

These debt agreements contain covenants that require us to maintain certain coverage ratios and may limit us with respect to certain business activities, including capital expenditures. Our key debt covenants are as follows:

At March 29, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants related to these debt agreements. The key covenant calculations at March 29, 2014 were as follows:

Our businesses are cyclical, but we have diversity in our markets, from a product, customer and a geographical standpoint. We have demonstrated the ability to effectively manage through business cycles and maintain liquidity. We have consistently generated operating cash flows in excess of our capital expenditures. Based on our available credit facilities, recent issuance of senior unsecured notes and our history of positive operational cash flows, we believe that we have adequate liquidity to meet our needs.

We have not made any provision for U.S. income taxes in our financial statements on approximately $652.5 million of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as we intend to reinvest those earnings. Of our cash balances at March 29, 2014, approximately $401.5 million is held in entities outside the United States. If we need to repatriate foreign cash balances to the United States to meet our cash needs, income taxes would be paid to the extent that those cash repatriations were undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. The income taxes that we would pay if cash were repatriated depends on the amounts to be repatriated and from which country.
