Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lennox International Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lennox International Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Lennox International Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, the financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements, the financial statement schedule and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 


 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lennox International Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also in our opinion, Lennox International Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

27. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
     The Company’s senior unsecured notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) while they are not by other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). As results of these guarantee arrangements, we are required to present the following condensed consolidating financial statements.
     The condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the investments in subsidiaries of the Company using the equity method of accounting. Intercompany account balances have been included in Accounts and Notes Receivable, Other (Current) Assets, Other Assets, net, Short-Term Debt, Accounts Payable, and Long-Term Debt line items of the Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor balance sheets. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.
Condensed consolidating financial statements of the Company, its Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for each of the fiscal years of the three-year period ended December 31, 2009 are shown below:

16. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
     The Company’s senior unsecured notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) while they are not by other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). As results of these guarantee arrangements, we are required to present the following condensed consolidating financial statements.
     The condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the investments in subsidiaries of the Company using the equity method of accounting. Intercompany account balances have been included in Accounts and Notes Receivable, Other (Current) Assets, Other Assets, net, Short-Term Debt, Accounts Payable, and Long-Term Debt line items of the Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor balance sheets. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.
     Condensed consolidating financial statements of the Company, its Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are shown below:

The company
Through our subsidiaries, we are a leading global provider of climate control solutions. We design, manufacture and market a broad range of products for the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVACR”) markets. We believe that we are an industry leader known for innovation, quality and reliability. Our products and services are sold through multiple distribution channels under well-established brand names, including “Lennox,” “Armstrong Air,” “Ducane,” “Bohn,” “Larkin,” “Advanced Distributor Products” and “Service Experts.”
We had net sales of approximately $2.8 billion in 2009. We serve residential customers, which accounted for approximately 60% of our 2009 net sales (including approximately 80% of the net sales of our service experts segment), and commercial customers, which accounted for approximately 40% of our 2009 net sales. In 2009, approximately 70% of our net sales were attributable to replacement business, and approximately 30% were attributable to new construction.
Approximately 85%, 8%, and 7% of our 2009 net sales were to the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, respectively. In this regard, approximately 70% and 30% of the net sales of our commercial heating and cooling segment were to the Americas and Europe, respectively, and approximately 45%, 38% and 17% of the net sales of our refrigeration segment were to the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe, respectively.

We were founded in 1895 in Marshalltown, Iowa when Dave Lennox, the owner of a machine repair business for the railroads, successfully developed and patented a riveted steel coal-fired furnace, which was substantially more


 

durable than the cast iron furnaces used at that time. Manufacturing these furnaces grew into a significant business and was diverting the Lennox Machine Shop from its core focus. As a result, in 1904, a group of investors headed by D.W. Norris bought the furnace business and named it the Lennox Furnace Company. We reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1991 and completed an initial public offering of our common stock in 1999.
Our executive offices are located at 2140 Lake Park Boulevard, Richardson, Texas 75080, and our telephone number is (972) 497-5000. Our website is located at www.lennoxinternational.com. Information on or accessible through our website is not part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Recent developments
On April 27, 2010, we reported financial results for the first quarter of 2010.
Revenue for the first quarter was $644 million, up 11% from the prior-year quarter. Foreign exchange had a positive impact of 5 points in the first quarter. Volume was higher and price/mix was down slightly from the year-ago quarter.
Gross profit for the first quarter was $174 million, up 26% from $138 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 27.1% compared to 23.8% in the prior-year quarter, up 3.3%. Gross margin benefited primarily from higher volume, lower component and commodity costs, and savings from restructuring and productivity initiatives.
On a GAAP basis, loss from continuing operations for the first quarter was $1.3 million, or $0.02 diluted loss per share, compared to $17.7 million loss from continuing operations, or $0.32 diluted loss per share in the prior-year quarter.
In the first quarter, the company had a loss from discontinued operations of $0.3 million after-tax, or $0.01 diluted loss per share, related to exiting the business of certain Service Experts service centers.
Net cash used in operations in the first quarter was $40 million compared to net cash provided by operations of $16 million in the prior-year quarter. The company invested $11 million in capital assets in the first quarter.
