Rexnord Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Rexnord Corporation (“Rexnord” or the "Company"), in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2015 presentation.

The Company

Rexnord is a growth-oriented, multi-platform industrial company with what it believes are leading market shares and highly trusted brands that serve a diverse array of global end-markets. The Company's heritage of innovation and specification have allowed it to provide highly engineered, mission critical solutions to customers for decades and affords it the privilege of having long-term, valued relationships with market leaders. The Process & Motion Control platform designs, manufactures, markets and services specified, highly-engineered mechanical components used within complex systems where our customers' reliability requirements and cost of failure or downtime is extremely high. The Process & Motion Control product portfolio includes gears, couplings, industrial bearings, aerospace bearings and seals, FlatTop™ chain, engineered chain and conveying equipment. The Water Management platform designs, procures, manufactures and markets products that provide and enhance water quality, safety, flow control and conservation. The Water Management product portfolio includes professional grade specification drainage products, flush valves and faucet products, backflow prevention pressure release valves, and PEX piping used primarily in non-residential construction end-markets and engineered valves and gates for the water and wastewater treatment market.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers in order to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance specifies revenue should be recognized in the amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and allows for full retrospective adoption applied to all periods presented or retrospective adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"), which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 allows only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations to be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations, as well as pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. As this guidance is a prospective change, adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2. Acquisitions and Divestiture
Fiscal Year 2015 Acquisitions

On October 30, 2014, the Company acquired Tollok S.p.A. ("Tollok"), a supplier of highly engineered shaft locking devices for the power generation and process industries, as well as general industrial applications. The preliminary purchase price, excluding transaction costs and net of cash acquired, was $42.0 million. The purchase price is comprised of $34.3 million that was paid at closing and $5.1 million to be paid in two equal annual installments on October 30, 2015 and October 30, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company is also contingently obligated to make additional consideration payments, not to exceed $3.8 million, in two years to the sellers should Tollok's financial performance exceed certain thresholds during the two years following the acquisition. Tollok, based in Ferrara, Italy, added complementary product lines to the Company's existing Process & Motion Control platform.

On April 15, 2014, the Company acquired Green Turtle Technologies Ltd., Green Turtle Americas Ltd. and Filamat Composites Inc. (collectively "Green Turtle") for a total cash purchase price of $27.7 million, excluding transaction costs and net of cash acquired. Green Turtle, based in Toronto, Ontario, and Charlotte, North Carolina, is a manufacturer of branded fiberglass oil and grease separators and traps. This acquisition broadened the product portfolio of the Company's existing Water Management platform.

The Company's results of operations include the acquired operations subsequent to the respective acquisition dates included above. The acquisitions of Green Turtle and Tollok were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Pro-forma results of operations and certain other U.S. GAAP disclosures related to the acquisitions during the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2014 have not been presented because they are not significant to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and financial position.

The fiscal 2015 acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations and recorded by allocating the purchase price of the acquisitions to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the respective acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The initial purchase price allocations for these transactions resulted in non-tax deductible goodwill of $28.3 million, other intangible assets of $29.5 million and other net assets of $11.9 million. The purchase price allocations are preliminary and subject to final working capital and other valuation adjustments that will be completed within the one year period following the respective acquisition date.

Fiscal Year 2015 Divestiture

During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company completed the previously announced review of strategic alternatives of its non-core business that manufactures ring gears and pinions (“Mill Products”) utilized in mining sector crushing machinery applications. Following the fulfillment of existing customer orders, the Company will discontinue the Mill Products operations and exit the business. The Mill Products business, which conducts its operations in the United States and Australia, is a component of the Process & Motion Control operating segment. In connection with its decision to discontinue the Mill Products operations, the Company executed two separate agreements to sell certain assets associated with the Mill Products business for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $9.5 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company received cash proceeds of $5.3 million representing the proceeds for the disposition of certain US based assets. The remaining proceeds, pertaining primarily to assets utilized in the Company's Australian operations, will be received upon closing of the second transaction (which is scheduled for late March 2015). During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a net impairment loss of approximately $5.3 million to place its long-lived assets at net realizable value and record other exit related costs, which is recorded in other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon fulfillment of existing customer orders and closing the second transaction, the Company's Mill Products business will cease operations and place remaining assets with net realizable value of approximately $2.6 million as "available for sale." As a result of these events, the Company expects to present this business as a "discontinued operation" by March 31, 2015. In connection with this presentation change, the Company estimates a future loss of $3.0 million to $5.0 million associated with the allocation of the relative fair value of goodwill to the discontinued operation.
Fiscal Year 2014 Acquisitions

On December 16, 2013, the Company acquired Precision Gear Holdings, LLC (“PGH”) for a total cash purchase price of $77.1 million, net of cash acquired and excluding transaction costs. PGH has two operating subsidiaries, Merit Gear LLC (“Merit Gear”), located in Antigo, Wisconsin, and Precision Gear LLC (“Precision Gear”), located in Twinsburg, Ohio. Merit Gear is a

8

build-to-print manufacturer of high-quality gearing and specialized gearboxes primarily for the North American oil and gas market, along with other diversified industrial markets. Precision Gear is a leading manufacturer of highly specialized gears primarily serving the aerospace market, along with various other industrial markets. This acquisition was complementary to the Company's existing Process & Motion Control platform.

On August 30, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of L.W. Gemmell ("LWG") for a total cash purchase price of $8.2 million, excluding transactions costs. LWG, based in Australia, is a distributor of non-residential plumbing products. A portion of LWG's historical sales were from existing Rexnord Water Management product lines. As such, the acquisition provided the Company with additional product offerings and the opportunity to expand its international presence through a more direct ownership structure.

On August 21, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of Micro Precision Gear Technology Limited ("Micro Precision") for a total cash purchase price of $22.2 million, excluding transactions costs. Micro Precision, based in the United Kingdom, is a build-to-print manufacturer of specialty gears and electric motor components primarily sold to the aerospace market. This acquisition expanded the Company's existing Process & Motion Control product offerings and its presence in Europe.

On April 26, 2013, the Company acquired Klamflex Pipe Couplings Ltd. ("Klamflex") for a total cash purchase price of $4.5 million, net of cash acquired and excluding transaction costs. Klamflex, based in South Africa, is a manufacturer of pipe couplings, flange adapters, dismantling joints and repair clamps. This acquisition broadened the product portfolio of the Company's existing Water Management platform and expanded the Company's presence globally.

The Company's results of operations include the acquired operations subsequent to the respective acquisition dates included above. The acquisitions of PGH, LWG, Micro Precision and Klamflex were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, either individually or in the aggregate. Pro-forma results of operations and certain other U.S. GAAP disclosures related to the acquisitions during fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 have not been presented because they are not significant to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and financial position, either individually or in the aggregate.

The fiscal 2014 acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations and recorded by allocating the purchase price of the acquisitions to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the respective acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. During fiscal 2015, the Company adjusted the preliminary allocations for the Micro Precision and PGH purchase price, respectively, in connection with finalizing the valuation of each businesses' tradename and the time period the tradename will be utilized by the Company post-acquisition. The opening balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect these changes, which included an increase to goodwill of $1.8 million and a decrease to intangible assets of $1.8 million. The amortization expense recognized in historical periods was not materially impacted as a result of the adjustments to the purchase price allocations. The aggregate purchase price allocations for these transactions resulted in goodwill of $26.7 million ($24.6 million of tax deductible goodwill), other intangible assets of $23.3 million, property, plant and equipment of $36.7 million and other net assets of $25.3 million.

During fiscal 2014, the Company also established a new French sales office in its Water Management platform to expand its European water and wastewater market presence via a joint venture between the Company and six external sales associates. The Company contributed an immaterial amount of capital to the joint venture. As the Company has a 51% ownership stake and is deemed to have significant control over the legal entity, the financial statements of the joint venture have been wholly consolidated in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidations.  The remaining 49% of the joint venture that is not owned by the Company has been presented as a non-controlling interest throughout the financial statements.

3. Restructuring and Other Similar Costs
During the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company continued to execute various restructuring actions. These initiatives were implemented to drive efficiencies and reduce operating costs while also modifying the Company's footprint to reflect changes in the markets it serves, the impact of acquisitions on the Company's overall manufacturing capacity and the refinement of its overall product portfolio. These restructuring actions primarily resulted in workforce reductions, lease termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs. Management expects to continue executing initiatives to optimize its operating margin and manufacturing footprint as well as select product-line rationalizations. As such, the Company expects further expenses related to workforce reductions, impairment of assets, lease termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs. The Company's restructuring plans are preliminary and related expenses are not yet estimable.
The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring costs during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and December 28, 2013 by classification of operating segment (in millions):

4. Income Taxes
The (benefit) provision for income taxes for all periods presented is based on an estimated effective income tax rate for the respective full fiscal years. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is determined excluding the effect of significant discrete items or items that are reported net of their related tax effects. The tax effect of significant discrete items is reflected in the period in which they occur. The Company's income tax expense is impacted by a number of factors, including the amount of taxable earnings derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that are generally lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, state tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company does business and the Company's ability to utilize various tax credits and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards.
The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes valuation allowances based on historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences as deemed appropriate. In addition, all other available positive and negative evidence is taken into consideration for purposes of determining the proper balances of such valuation allowances. As a result of this review, the Company has previously established a partial valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards as well as foreign tax credit (“FTC”) carryforwards. Future changes to the balances of these valuation allowances as a result of this continued review and analysis by the Company could result in a material impact to the financial statements for such period of change.
The income tax benefit was $0.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to an income tax provision of $12.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was (69.2)% versus 30.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The income tax benefit, recognized on income before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the recognition of certain foreign related branch losses for U.S. income tax purposes as well as the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations, in conjunction with the relatively low amount of income before income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was below the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the recognition of certain foreign branch related losses for U.S. income tax purposes and the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.
The income tax provision recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $37.1 million compared to an income tax benefit of $18.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was 42.0% versus 64.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to certain one-time costs associated with a change to the U.S. income tax entity classification of a foreign subsidiary, partially offset by the recognition of certain foreign related branch losses for U.S. income tax purposes as well as the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the accrual of a significant state tax benefit associated with the Company's August 2013 debt refinancing (see Note 11 Long-Term Debt), the recognition of certain foreign branch related losses for U.S. income tax purposes and the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.
At both December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company had a $23.6 million liability for unrecognized net income tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the total amount of gross, unrecognized income tax benefits included $10.1 million and $9.9 million of accrued interest and penalties, respectively. The Company recognized $0.1 million of net interest and penalties as income tax expense during the nine months ended December 31, 2014. The Company recognized $0.4 million of net interest and penalties as income tax benefit during the nine months ended December 28, 2013.
The Company conducts business in multiple locations within and outside the U.S. Consequently, the Company is subject to periodic income tax examinations by domestic and foreign income tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine, periodic income tax examinations in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting fieldwork relating to an income tax examination of the Company's U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year ended March 31, 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company completed an examination of its Italian corporate income tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2008 through March 31, 2011. Similarly, during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company completed an examination of certain German subsidiaries’ corporate income and trade tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2006 through March 31, 2010. The Company paid approximately $0.7 million and $0.4 million upon the conclusion of the Italian and German examinations, respectively. However, these amounts did not have a negative financial statement impact to the company as the amounts were either previously reserved as an unrecognized tax benefit or appropriately accounted for as a deferred tax item. It appears reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized income tax benefits could change in the next twelve months as a result of such examinations; however, any potential payments of income tax, interest and penalties are not expected to be significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years ending prior to March 31, 2012, state and local income tax examinations for years ending prior to fiscal 2011 or significant foreign income tax examinations for years ending prior to fiscal 2010. With

respect to the Company's U.S. federal NOL carryforward, the short tax period from July 21, 2006 to March 31, 2007 (due to the change in control when Apollo Management, L.P. acquired the Company) and the tax years ended March 31, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 are open under statutes of limitations; whereby, the Internal Revenue Service may not adjust the income tax liability for these years, but may reduce the NOL carryforward and any other tax attribute carryforwards to future, open tax years.
5. Earnings per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the corresponding weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of incremental shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive shares were issued through the exercise of outstanding equity awards to purchase common shares, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. The computation for diluted net income per share for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2014 excludes equity awards to acquire 1,164,710 and 1,175,116 shares due to their anti-dilutive effect, respectively. The computation for diluted net income per share for the third quarter ended December 28, 2013 excludes 2,108,690 options to purchase shares due to their anti-dilutive effect. For the nine months ended December 28, 2013 all options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because the net loss in the period caused all potentially dilutive options to be anti-dilutive.

Intangible asset amortization expense totaled $13.6 million and $40.8 million for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2014. Intangible asset amortization expense totaled $12.7 million and $37.8 million for the third quarter and nine months ended December 28, 2013.
The Company expects to recognize amortization expense on the intangible assets subject to amortization of $54.9 million in fiscal year 2015 (inclusive of $40.8 million of amortization expense recognized in the nine months ended December 31, 2014), $55.5 million in fiscal year 2016, $36.4 million in fiscal year 2017, $25.1 million in fiscal year 2018, and $24.9 million in fiscal year 2019.

During the third quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company completed its annual evaluation of indefinite lived intangible assets (tradenames) and goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. The fair value of the Company's indefinite lived intangible assets and reporting units were primarily estimated using an income valuation model (discounted cash flow) and market approach (guideline public company comparables), which indicated that the fair value of the Company's indefinite lived intangible assets and reporting units exceeded their carrying value; therefore, no impairment was present.

The senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement are funded by a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions and provide for loans of up to $2,215.0 million, consisting of (i) a $1,950.0 million term loan facility with a maturity date of August 21, 2020 (the "Term Loan"); and (ii) a $265.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of March 15, 2017; under the revolving credit facility, the Company has borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for borrowings on a same-day notice, referred to as swingline loans.
The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to (i) repay in full the $786.2 million aggregate principal amount of existing term loans then-outstanding under the former credit agreement, together with accrued interest thereon, (ii) retire (through a cash tender offer and redemption) all of the 8.50% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “8.50% Notes”) and (iii) pay related fees and expenses. The Company accounted for these transactions in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and

15

Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”). In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recognized a $129.2 million loss on the debt extinguishment which was comprised of a $109.9 million bond tender premium paid to holders of the 8.50% Notes as a result of the tender offer and redemption, third party transaction costs of $5.3 million and a $14.0 million non-cash write-off of deferred financing fees and net original issue discount associated with the extinguished debt.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company made a $150.0 million prepayment on the former term loan facility and recognized a related pre-tax loss of $4.0 million in accordance with ASC 470-50 which was comprised of $0.8 million of fees paid to lenders and a non-cash write-off of $3.2 million of deferred financing fees and net original issue discount associated with the extinguished debt.
    
At December 31, 2014, borrowings under the Credit Agreement had an effective and average interest rate of 4.00%, determined as the LIBO rate (subject to a 1% floor) plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. The interest rates for the Term Loan are subject to a leverage-based pricing grid. In the event the Company's first lien leverage ratio is less than 3.25 to 1.0, its applicable margin on the Term Loan borrowings would decrease twenty-five (25) basis points. The Company's actual first lien leverage ratio was 3.62 to 1.0 as of December 31, 2014.

As of December 31, 2014, the remaining mandatory principal payments prior to maturity on the Term Loan were $107.2 million. Principal payments of $4.9 million are scheduled to be made at the end of each calendar quarter until June 30, 2020.
No amounts were borrowed under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2014 or March 31, 2014; however, $27.7 million and $29.1 million of the revolving credit facility were considered utilized in connection with outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its Credit Agreement, including compliance with a maximum permitted first lien leverage ratio (the Company's sole financial maintenance covenant under its revolver) of 7.75 to 1.0.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
In fiscal 2012, the Company entered into a five-year Amended and Restated Receivables Funding and Administration Agreement (the “RFAA”) by and among Rexnord Funding LLC (“Funding,” a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as a lender, a swing line lender and administrative agent. The RFAA is the principal operative agreement under which certain subsidiaries continuously sell substantially all of their domestic trade accounts receivable to Funding for cash and subordinated notes (the “Program”).
At December 31, 2014, the Company's available borrowing capacity under the Program was $93.0 million, based on the current accounts receivables balance subject to the Program. As of December 31, 2014, Funding was in compliance with all applicable covenants and performance ratios contained in the RFAA.

See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company's fiscal 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding long-term debt.
12. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain financial risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company currently selectively uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage its foreign currency risk. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to defined policies and procedures that prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the foreign currency volatility relative to certain intercompany and external cash flows expected to occur. These foreign currency forward contracts were not accounted for as effective cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) and as such were marked to market through earnings. See the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized within the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the Company's foreign currency forward contracts within the tables below.
Interest Rate Derivatives
During fiscal 2014, the Company entered into three forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in future cash flows associated with a portion of the Company’s variable-rate term loans. The forward-starting interest rate swaps convert $650.0 million of the Company’s variable-rate term loans to a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.55% plus the applicable margin

16

(inclusive of a 1% LIBOR floor). The interest rate swaps become effective beginning on September 28, 2015 with a maturity of September 27, 2018. The interest rate swaps have been designated as effective cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company entered into two interest rate caps in order to mitigate the Company's exposure to increasing interest rates on its variable-rate interest loans. Those interest rate caps were effective beginning as of October 24, 2014, with a maturity of October 24, 2018; they cap the interest on $750.0 million of the Company's variable-rate interest loans at 3%, plus the applicable margin. In executing the interest rate caps, the Company paid a premium of $5.8 million. The interest rate caps have been designated as effective cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815. When combined with the Company's existing interest rate swaps, the Company has effectively hedged approximately 73% of its outstanding variable rate term loans with a weighted average interest rate that cannot exceed 2.79% plus the applicable margin of 3%.
The fair values of the Company's interest rate derivatives are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with the corresponding offset recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. See the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the Company's interest rate derivatives within the tables below.
The Company's derivatives are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). See Note 13 Fair Value Measurements for more information as it relates to the fair value measurement of the Company's derivative financial instruments.
The following tables indicate the location and the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments within the condensed consolidated balance sheets segregated between designated, qualifying ASC 815 hedging instruments and non-qualifying, non-designated hedging instruments (in millions).

The Company expects to reclassify approximately $2.6 million of losses related to its interest rate derivatives recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings as interest expense during the next twelve months.

13. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use.
In accordance with ASC 820, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
•
Level 1- Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•
Level 2- Quoted prices for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable.
•
Level 3- Model-derived valuations in which one or more inputs or value-drivers are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

If applicable, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value, and therefore classifies such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, the Company makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters. These measurements are classified within Level 3 if they use significant unobservable inputs.

18

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
The Company transacts in foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and interest rate caps, which are impacted by ASC 820. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a pricing model that utilizes the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate as applied to fixed future deliveries of currency at pre-designated settlement dates. The fair value of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps is based on pricing models. These models use discounted cash flows that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and interest rates.
The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps reside within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers of assets between levels during the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014. The following table provides a summary of the Company's assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 (in millions):

Fair Value of Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities approximated fair value at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of long-term debt as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 was approximately $1,933.3 million and $1,995.1 million, respectively. The fair value is based on quoted market prices for the same issues.

Long-lived Assets and Intangible Assets
        Long-lived assets (which includes property, plant and equipment and real estate) may be measured at fair value if such assets are held-for-sale or when there is a determination that the asset is impaired. Intangible assets (which include patents, tradenames, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements) also may be measured at fair value when there is a determination that the asset is impaired. The determination of fair value for these assets is based on the best information available that resides within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, including internal cash flow estimates discounted at an appropriate interest rate, quoted market prices when available, market prices for similar assets and independent appraisals, as appropriate. For real estate, cash flow estimates are based on current market estimates that reflect current and projected lease profiles and available industry information about expected trends in rental, occupancy and capitalization rates. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a net impairment loss of approximately $5.3 million to place its long-lived assets at net realizable value and record other exit related costs, which is recorded in other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company's Mill Products business will cease operations and the Company will place remaining assets with net realizable value of approximately $2.6 million as "available for sale." The impairment loss recognized was determined

19

utilizing independent appraisals of the assets, classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestiture for additional information.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranties:
The Company offers warranties on the sales of certain products and records an accrual for estimated future claims.

Contingencies:
The Company's subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business involving, among other things, product liability, commercial, employment, workers' compensation, intellectual property claims and environmental matters. The Company establishes accruals in a manner that is consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for costs associated with such matters when liability is probable and those costs are capable of being reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss or recovery, based upon current information, management believes the eventual outcome of these unresolved legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In connection with the Carlyle acquisition in November 2002, Invensys plc ("Invensys") has provided the Company with indemnification against certain contingent liabilities, including certain pre-closing environmental liabilities. The Company believes that, pursuant to such indemnity obligations, Invensys is obligated to defend and indemnify the Company with respect to the matters described below relating to the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site and to various asbestos claims. The indemnity obligations relating to the matters described below are subject, together with indemnity obligations relating to other matters, to an overall dollar cap equal to the purchase price, which is an amount in excess of $900 million. The following paragraphs summarize the most significant actions and proceedings:
•
In 2002, Rexnord Industries, LLC (“Rexnord Industries”) was named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”), together with at least ten other companies, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the “Site”), by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”), and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”). Rexnord Industries' Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and IEPA allege there have been one or more releases or threatened releases of chlorinated solvents and other hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants, allegedly including but not limited to a release or threatened release on or from the Company's property, at the Site. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of USEPA's past costs. Rexnord Industries' allocated share of past and future costs related to the Site, including for investigation and/or remediation, could be significant. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against the Company related to the Site have been settled or dismissed. Pursuant to its indemnity obligation, Invensys continues to defend the Company in known matters related to the Site and has paid 100% of the costs to date.
•
Multiple lawsuits (with approximately 700 claimants) are pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain brakes and clutches previously manufactured by the Company's Stearns division and/or its predecessor owners. Invensys and FMC, prior owners of the Stearns business, have paid 100% of the costs to date related to the Stearns lawsuits. Similarly, the Company's Prager subsidiary is a defendant in two pending multi-defendant lawsuits relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in a product allegedly manufactured by Prager. Additionally, there are numerous individuals who have filed asbestos related claims against Prager; however, these claims are currently on the Texas Multi-district Litigation inactive docket. The ultimate outcome of these asbestos matters cannot presently be determined. To date, the Company's insurance providers have paid 100% of the costs related to the Prager asbestos matters. The Company believes that the combination of its insurance coverage and the Invensys indemnity obligations will cover any future costs of these matters.

20

In connection with the acquisition of The Falk Corporation (“Falk”), Hamilton Sundstrand has provided the Company with indemnification against certain products-related asbestos exposure liabilities. The Company believes that, pursuant to such indemnity obligations, Hamilton Sundstrand is obligated to defend and indemnify the Company with respect to the asbestos claims described below, and that, with respect to these claims, such indemnity obligations are not subject to any time or dollar limitations.
The following paragraph summarizes the most significant actions and proceedings for which Hamilton Sundstrand has accepted responsibility:
•
Falk, through its successor entity, is a defendant in multiple lawsuits pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain clutches and drives previously manufactured by Falk. There are approximately 100 claimants in these suits. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot presently be determined. Hamilton Sundstrand is defending the Company in these lawsuits pursuant to its indemnity obligations and has paid 100% of the costs to date.
Certain Water Management subsidiaries are also subject to asbestos litigation. As of December 31, 2014, Zurn and numerous other unrelated companies were defendants in approximately 7,000 asbestos related lawsuits representing approximately 24,000 claims. Plaintiffs' claims allege personal injuries caused by exposure to asbestos used primarily in industrial boilers formerly manufactured by a segment of Zurn. Zurn did not manufacture asbestos or asbestos components. Instead, Zurn purchased them from suppliers. These claims are being handled pursuant to a defense strategy funded by insurers.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company estimates the potential liability for the asbestos-related claims described above, as well as the claims expected to be filed in the next ten years to be approximately $36.0 million, of which Zurn expects its insurance carriers to pay approximately $29.0 million in the next ten years on such claims, with the balance of the estimated liability being paid in subsequent years. The $36.0 million was developed based on an actuarial study and represents the projected indemnity payout for claims filed in the next ten years. However, there are inherent uncertainties involved in estimating the number of future asbestos claims, future settlement costs, and the effectiveness of defense strategies and settlement initiatives. As a result, actual liability could differ from the estimate described herein. Further, while this current asbestos liability is based on an estimate of claims through the next ten years, such liability may continue beyond that time frame, and such liability could be substantial.
Management estimates that its available insurance to cover this potential asbestos liability as of December 31, 2014, is approximately $248.4 million, and believes that all current claims are covered by insurance. However, principally as a result of the past insolvency of certain of the Company's insurance carriers, certain coverage gaps will exist if and after the Company's other carriers have paid the first $172.4 million of aggregate liabilities.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a recorded receivable from its insurance carriers of $36.0 million, which corresponds to the amount of this potential asbestos liability that is covered by available insurance and is currently determined to be probable of recovery. However, there is no assurance that $248.4 million of insurance coverage will ultimately be available or that this asbestos liability will not ultimately exceed $248.4 million. Factors that could cause a decrease in the amount of available coverage include: changes in law governing the policies, potential disputes with the carriers regarding the scope of coverage, and insolvencies of one or more of the Company's carriers.
The Company's subsidiaries, Zurn PEX, Inc. and Zurn Industries, LLC ("Zurn Industries"), were named as defendants in a number of individual and class action lawsuits in various United States courts. The plaintiffs in these suits claimed damages due to the alleged failure or anticipated failure of Zurn brass fittings on the PEX plumbing systems in homes and other structures.
In July 2012, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the liability underlying this litigation.  The settlement is designed to resolve, on a national basis, the Company's overall exposure for both known and unknown claims related to the alleged failure or anticipated failure of Zurn brass fittings on PEX plumbing systems, subject to the right of eligible class members to opt-out of the settlement and pursue their claims independently.  The settlement received final court approval in February 2013, and utilizes a seven year claims fund, which is capped at $20 million, and is funded in installments over the seven year period based on claim activity and minimum funding criteria.  The settlement also covers class action plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses totaling $8.5 million, which were paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Historically, the Company's insurance carrier had funded the Company's defense in the above referenced proceedings. The Company, however, reached a settlement agreement with its insurer, whereby the insurer paid the Company a lump sum in exchange for a release of future exposure related to this liability.
The Company has recorded an accrual related to this brass fittings liability, which takes into account, in pertinent part, the insurance carrier contribution, as well as exposure from the claims fund, opt-outs and the waiver of future insurance coverage.
In 2010, Sloan Valve Company (“Sloan”) filed a complaint against the Company’s subsidiary, Zurn Industries, for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleged, among other things, that Zurn Industries’ manual dual flush valve infringed Sloan’s patent for its “Flush Valve Handle Assembly Providing Dual Mode Operation” and sought an unspecified amount of damages, including a request for treble damages and attorneys’ fees related to

21

Sloan’s allegation of willful infringement. In June 2014, the court entered a consent judgment, consistent with the settlement agreement between Zurn Industries and Sloan, which included, among other things, a dismissal of all claims and counterclaims between the parties. The resolution of this case did not have a material adverse impact on the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2015 and 2014, the Company made contributions of $6.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, to its U.S. qualified pension plan trusts.
The corridor is 10% of the higher of the pension benefit obligation or the fair value of the plan assets. In accordance with the Company's accounting policy for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, actuarial gains and losses above the corridor are immediately recognized in the Company's operating results. This adjustment is typically recorded annually in connection with the Company's required year-end re-measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations, or upon any off-cycle re-measurement event.

See Note 16 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company's fiscal 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding retirement benefits.

Lump Sum Settlement
During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company offered approximately 4,500 inactive participants in its domestic non-union defined benefit plans with vested benefits the opportunity to receive a lump sum settlement of the value of the participant’s pension benefit. Acceptance of the offer by a participant was completely voluntary, and if accepted, participants could elect to receive the settlement in the form of a single lump sum payment or in the form of a monthly annuity beginning during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The election period for this voluntary offer closed on October 15, 2014 and a total of $65.0 million was paid to electing participants during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. As a result of the settlement, the Company performed an off-cycle re-measurement of the plan assets and benefit obligations of the domestic non-union defined benefit plan. The settlement and corresponding re-measurement of the domestic non-union defined benefit plan resulted in the recognition of non-cash actuarial losses during the third quarter of fiscal 2015 of $6.5 million associated with the lump-sum settlement and $24.9 million associated with the re-measurement of plan assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014, which included the adoption of revised mortality tables (RP 2014) and the mortality improvement scale (MP 2014) issued by the Society of Actuaries in October 2014.

Other Recent Developments
In October 2014, the Society of Actuaries issued revised mortality tables (RP 2014) and a mortality improvement scale (MP 2014) for use by actuaries, insurance companies, governments, benefit plan sponsors and others in setting assumptions regarding life expectancy in the United States for purposes of estimating pension and OPEB obligations, costs and required contribution amounts. The new mortality tables indicate substantial life expectancy improvements since the last study published in 2000 (RP 2000). In conjunction with the off-cycle re-measurement as a result of the lump sum settlement in the third quarter

of fiscal 2015, the Company adopted the revised mortality tables and mortality improvement scale for the domestic non-union defined benefit plan, which resulted in the recognition of significant non-cash actuarial losses mentioned above. The Company will adopt the revised mortality tables and mortality improvement scale for the remaining U.S. defined benefit plans in connection with the annual year-end re-measurement of these plans, which could be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

16. Stock-Based Compensation
The Rexnord Corporation 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is utilized to provide performance incentives to the Company's officers, employees, directors and certain others by permitting grants of equity awards and performance-based cash awards to such persons, to encourage them to maximize Rexnord's performance and create value for Rexnord's stockholders. ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. Generally, compensation cost is measured based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued and is recognized over the requisite service period of the equity instrument, which generally coincides with the vesting period of the award. See Note 15 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company's fiscal 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding stock-based compensation and related plans.

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $2.1 million and $4.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, the Company recorded $1.8 million and $5.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, there was $19.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years.

Stock Options
During the nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted 1,110,101 stock options to certain of the Company's officers, employees, and directors which vest over a weighted-average term of four years. The fair value of each option granted under the Plan during the nine months ended December 31, 2014 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model utilizing the following weighted-average assumptions:

Expected volatility factor

%
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate
2.14
%
Expected dividend rate
0.0
%
Stock option fair value
$
9.36

The Company estimates the expected life of stock options granted based on the midpoint between when the options vest and when they expire. The Company uses the simplified method to determine the expected term, as management does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term due to the limited period of time its common stock shares has been publicly traded. The Company’s expected volatility assumptions are based on the expected volatilities of publicly-traded companies within the Company’s industry. The weighted-average risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Management also assumes expected dividends of zero.

Restricted Stock Units
During the nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted 55,350 restricted stock units to certain of its officers and employees. Restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2014 vest ratably over four years. The fair value of each award is determined based on the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the restricted stock units granted and outstanding under the Plan for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 was $29.24 per unit.
17. Related Party Transactions
Under the Stockholders Agreements with affiliates of Apollo Management and George Sherman, in certain circumstances the Company is obligated to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission shares owned by those stockholders and bear related expenses of offerings by them. In the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company effected such registrations and paid offering expenses (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, which were paid by the selling stockholders) on behalf of Apollo affiliates; such costs were $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In the third quarter and nine months ended December 28, 2013, such costs were $0.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. As a result of the transaction completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, Apollo affiliates no longer own shares of the Company's outstanding common stock.

19. Subsequent Events
    
On January 12, 2015, the Company acquired Euroflex Transmissions (India) Private Limited ("Euroflex") for a total cash purchase price of approximately $77 million. Euroflex, based in Hyderabad, India, is a supplier of high performance disc couplings used in power generation, gas compression and industrial process machinery applications. The acquisition of Euroflex adds complementary product lines to the Company's existing Process & Motion Control platform. The Company's financial position and results from operations will include Euroflex subsequent to January 12, 2015. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not completed the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Refer to Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 for information with respect to our critical accounting policies, which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management. Except for the items reported below, management believes that as of December 31, 2014 and during the period from April 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, there has been no material change to this information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers in order to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance specifies revenue should be recognized in the amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and allows for full retrospective adoption applied to all periods presented or retrospective adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"), which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 allows only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations to be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations, as well as pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. As this guidance is a prospective change, adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Acquisition of Tollok S.p.A

On October 30, 2014, we acquired Tollok S.p.A. ("Tollok"), a supplier of highly engineered shaft locking devices for the power generation and process industries, as well as general industrial applications. The preliminary purchase price, excluding transaction costs and net of cash acquired, was $42.0 million. The purchase price is comprised of $34.3 million that was paid at closing and $5.1 million to be paid in two equal annual installments on October 30, 2015 and October 30, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we are also contingently obligated to make additional consideration payments, not to exceed $3.8 million, in two years to the sellers should Tollok's financial performance exceed certain thresholds during the two years following the acquisition. Tollok, based in Ferrara, Italy, added complementary product lines to our existing Process & Motion Control platform.

Acquisition of Green Turtle
On April 15, 2014, we acquired Green Turtle Technologies Ltd., Green Turtle Americas Ltd. and Filamat Composites Inc. (collectively "Green Turtle") for a total cash purchase price of $27.7 million, excluding transaction costs and net of cash acquired. Green Turtle, based in Toronto, Ontario, and Charlotte, North Carolina, is a manufacturer of branded fiberglass oil and grease separators and traps. This acquisition broadened the product portfolio of the our existing Water Management platform.

Acquisition of Precision Gear Holdings
On December 16, 2013, we acquired Precision Gear Holdings, LLC (“PGH”) for a total cash purchase price of $77.1 million, net of cash acquired and excluding transaction costs. PGH has two operating subsidiaries, Merit Gear LLC (“Merit Gear”), located in Antigo, WI, and Precision Gear LLC (“Precision Gear”), located in Twinsburg, OH. Merit Gear is a build-to-print manufacturer of high-quality gearing and specialized gearboxes primarily for the North American oil and gas market, along with other diversified industrial markets. Precision Gear is a leading manufacturer of highly specialized gears primarily serving the aerospace market, along with various other industrial markets. This acquisition is complementary to our existing Process & Motion Control platform.

27


Divestiture of Mill Products
During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we completed the previously announced review of strategic alternatives of our non-core business that manufactures ring gears and pinions (“Mill Products”) utilized in mining sector crushing machinery applications. Following the fulfillment of existing customer orders, we will discontinue the Mill Products operations and exit the business. The Mill Products business, which conducts its operations in the United States and Australia, is a component of our Process & Motion Control operating segment. In connection with our decision to discontinue the Mill Products operations, we executed two separate agreements to sell certain assets associated with the Mill Products business for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $9.5 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we received cash proceeds of $5.3 million representing the proceeds for the disposition of certain US based assets. The remaining proceeds, pertaining primarily to assets utilized in our Australian operations, will be received upon closing of the second transaction (which is scheduled for late March 2015). During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a net impairment loss of approximately $5.3 million to place its long-lived assets at net realizable value and record other exit related costs, which is recorded in other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon fulfillment of existing customer orders and closing the second transaction, our Mill Products business will cease operations and place remaining assets with net realizable value of approximately $2.6 million as "available for sale." As a result of these events, we expect to present this business as a "discontinued operation" by March 31, 2015. In connection with this presentation change, we estimate a future loss of $3.0 million to $5.0 million associated with the allocation of the relative fair value of goodwill to the discontinued operation.    
For further clarity, certain discussions below exclude the following comparative financial statement impacts of Mill Products on our results from operations.

Retirement Benefits
Lump Sum Settlement
During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we offered approximately 4,500 inactive participants in the domestic non-union defined benefit plans with vested benefits the opportunity to receive a lump sum settlement of the value of the participant’s pension benefit. Acceptance of the offer by a participant was completely voluntary, and if accepted, participants could elect to receive the settlement in the form of a single lump sum payment or in the form of a monthly annuity beginning during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The election period for this voluntary offer closed on October 15, 2014 and a total of $65.0 million was paid to electing participants during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. As a result of the settlement, we performed an off-cycle re-measurement of the plan assets and benefit obligations of the domestic non-union defined benefit plan. The settlement and corresponding re-measurement of the domestic non-union defined benefit plan resulted in the recognition of non-cash actuarial losses during the third quarter of fiscal 2015 of $6.5 million associated with the lump-sum settlement and $24.9 million associated with the re-measurement of plan assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014, which included the adoption of revised mortality tables (RP 2014) and the mortality improvement scale (MP 2014) issued by the Society of Actuaries in October 2014.

Other Recent Developments
In October 2014, the Society of Actuaries issued revised mortality tables (RP 2014) and a mortality improvement scale (MP 2014) for use by actuaries, insurance companies, governments, benefit plan sponsors and others in setting assumptions regarding life expectancy in the United States for purposes of estimating pension and OPEB obligations, costs and required contribution amounts. The new mortality tables indicate substantial life expectancy improvements since the last study published in 2000 (RP 2000). In conjunction with the off-cycle re-measurement as a result of the lump sum settlement in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we adopted the revised mortality tables and mortality improvement scale for the domestic non-union defined benefit plan, which resulted in the recognition of significant non-cash actuarial losses mentioned above. We will adopt the revised mortality tables and mortality improvement scale for the remaining U.S. defined benefit plans in connection

28

with the annual year-end re-measurement of these plans, which could be material to our financial position and results of operations.

Subsequent Events
    
On January 12, 2015, we acquired Euroflex Transmissions (India) Private Limited ("Euroflex") for a total cash purchase price of approximately $77 million. Euroflex, based in Hyderabad, India, is a supplier of high performance disc couplings, used in power generation, gas compression and industrial process machinery applications. The acquisition of Euroflex adds complementary product lines to our existing Process & Motion Control platform. Our financial position and results from operations will include Euroflex subsequent to January 12, 2015.

Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on March 31. Throughout this MD&A, we refer to the period from October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 as the “third quarter of fiscal 2015” or the “third quarter ended December 31, 2014.” Similarly, we refer to the period from September 29, 2013 through December 28, 2013 as the “third quarter of fiscal 2014” or the “third quarter ended December 28, 2013.”

Process & Motion Control net sales increased 3% from the prior year to $308.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding a 4% favorable impact from acquisitions, partially offset by a 2% adverse impact from foreign currency translation, core net sales increased 1% as expected but moderating declines in our bulk material handling end-market and soft global demand in our beverage sector, were more than offset by the modest overall growth we experienced across the majority of our end-markets.
Water Management
Water Management net sales increased 5% from the prior year to $198.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Core net sales also grew 5% year-over-year as a 3% favorable impact from acquisitions was offset by a 3% unfavorable impact from foreign currency. Our core growth in the third quarter reflected favorable demand trends across the majority of our end-markets and expected quarterly variability in large project shipments.

Process & Motion Control
Process & Motion Control income from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $51.9 million, or 16.8% of net sales. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales decreased 170 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 as a result of higher year-over-year costs associated with our pending exit of Mill Products, the adverse mix impact of softer global demand in our beverage sector, as well as incremental investments in market expansion initiatives.
Water Management
Water Management income from operations was $20.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Operating margin was 10.5% of net sales, an increase of 30 basis points year-over-year which reflects the benefit of volume growth and on-going cost reduction initiatives, as well as RBS-driven productivity gains and efficiencies.
Corporate
Corporate expenses were $38.9 million and $7.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. Corporate expenses increased during the third quarter of fiscal 2015 as a result of a $31.4 million non-cash actuarial pension loss recorded in connection with a lump sum distribution made to certain inactive participants who voluntarily accepted our previously announced settlement offer. See Item I, Note 15 Retirement Benefits for more information.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net was $21.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $22.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Other expense, net for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, consisted of foreign currency transaction losses of $3.7 million, a $5.4 million loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment primarily related to the $5.3 million loss associated with the impairment and recognition of other disposal costs in connection with the pending exit of Mill Products and other miscellaneous expenses of $1.5 million. Other expense, net for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, consisted of foreign currency losses of $1.7 million, a $0.2 million loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment and other miscellaneous expenses of $2.3 million.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes
The income tax benefit was $0.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to an income tax provision of $12.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was (69.2)% versus 30.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The income tax benefit, recognized on the income before income taxes, for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the recognition of certain foreign related branch losses for U.S. income tax purposes as well as the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations, in conjunction with the relatively low amount of income before income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was below the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the recognition of certain foreign branch related losses for U.S. income tax purposes and the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.
On a quarterly basis, we review and analyze our valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards as well as foreign tax credit (“FTC”) carryforwards. In conjunction with this analysis, we weigh both positive and negative evidence for purposes of determining the proper balances of such valuation allowances. Future changes to these balances as a result of our continued review and analysis could result in a material impact to the financial statements for such period of change.

Net income
Our net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $2.2 million, compared to net income of $28.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as a result of the factors described above. Diluted income per share was $0.02 in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, as compared to $0.28 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Process & Motion Control net sales were $925.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 and $927.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. Excluding the $15.7 million year-over-year decline related to Mill Products, Process & Motion Control net sales increased 2% as a 4% increase in net sales from acquisitions was partially offset by a 1% adverse impact from foreign currency translation and a 2% decline in core net sales due to the expected decline in sales to our bulk material-handling end-markets driven by the lower backlog going into fiscal 2015 and softer than anticipated global demand in our beverage sector.
Water Management
Water Management net sales increased 8% from the prior year to $629.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2015. Core net sales increased 6% as a 3% favorable impact from acquisitions was partially offset by a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Our core growth in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 reflected favorable demand trends across the majority of our end-markets and expected quarterly variability in large project shipments.

Process & Motion Control
Process & Motion Control income from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $155.9 million, or 16.9% of net sales. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales decreased 100 basis points in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 as the current year was adversely impacted by reduced volume leverage and higher costs associated with our pending exit of Mill Products combined with incremental investments to fund market expansion initiatives, incremental restructuring charges and the recognition of higher year-over-year depreciation, amortization and inventory fair value adjustments in connection with our recently completed acquisitions. Excluding those items in all periods, income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased 30 basis points as a result of core operational improvements.

31

Water Management
Water Management income from operations was $68.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2015, or 10.9% of net sales. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased 70 basis points in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2014. On-going cost reduction initiatives as well as RBS-driven productivity gains and efficiencies delivered by the Rexnord Business System generated approximately 120 basis points of operating margin improvement year-over-year that were partially offset by incremental restructuring charges and inventory fair value adjustments related to the acquisition of Green Turtle.
Corporate
Corporate expenses were $55.8 million and $24.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. Corporate expenses increased during the first nine months of fiscal 2015 as a result a $31.4 million non-cash actuarial pension loss recorded in connection with a lump sum distribution made to certain inactive participants who voluntarily accepted our previously announced settlement offer. See Item I, Note 15 Retirement Benefits for more information. This increase was partially offset by lower year-over-year corporate restructuring costs.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net was $66.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 compared to $86.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The year-over-year decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of the full retirement of our 8.50% Notes and the refinancing of our term loan facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. As a result of those transactions, our effective interest rate on approximately $1.1 billion of our outstanding debt was reduced by approximately 450 basis points.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
In the first nine months of fiscal 2014, we completed a re-pricing of our then-outstanding term loan facilities, a re-financing of our term loan facility and a full retirement of our then outstanding 8.50% Notes. In the first nine months of fiscal 2014, we recognized a $133.2 million loss in accordance with ASC 470-50 on the debt extinguishments which was comprised of a $109.9 million bond tender premium paid to holders as a result of the tender offer and redemption, third party transaction costs of $6.1 million and a $17.2 million non-cash write-off of deferred financing fees and net original issue discount associated with the extinguished debt. We had no such charges in the first nine months of fiscal 2015.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net for the first nine months of fiscal 2015, consisted of foreign currency transaction losses of $4.4 million, a $6.1 million loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment primarily related to the $5.3 million loss associated with the impairment and recognition of other disposal costs in connection with the pending exit of Mill Products and other miscellaneous expenses of $3.7 million. Other expense, net for the first nine months of fiscal 2014, consisted of foreign currency transaction losses of $3.0 million, a $1.3 million loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment and other miscellaneous expenses of $6.0 million.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes
The income tax provision recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $37.1 million compared to an income tax benefit of $18.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was 42.0% versus 64.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to certain one-time costs associated with a change to the U.S. income tax entity classification of a foreign subsidiary, partially offset by the recognition of certain foreign related branch losses for U.S. income tax purposes as well as the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the accrual of a significant state tax benefit associated with the Company’s August 2013 debt refinancing (see Item 1, Note 11 Long-Term Debt), the recognition of certain foreign branch related losses for U.S. income tax purposes and the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.
On a quarterly basis, we review and analyze our valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards as well as foreign tax credit (“FTC”) carryforwards. In conjunction with this analysis, we weigh both positive and negative evidence for purposes of determining the proper balances of such valuation allowances. Future changes to these balances as a result of our continued review and analysis could result in a material impact to the financial statements for such period of change.


32

Net income (loss)
Our net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $51.3 million, compared to a net loss of $10.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, as a result of the factors described above. Diluted income per share was $0.51 in the first nine months of fiscal 2015, as compared to a diluted loss per share of $0.11 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Core sales
Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures (including our non-core product line, Mill Products) and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier comparisons of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions because the nature, size and number of acquisitions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (as described below in “Covenant Compliance”) is an important measure because, under our credit agreement, our ability to incur certain types of acquisition debt and certain types of subordinated debt, make certain types of acquisitions or asset exchanges, operate our business and make dividends or other distributions, all of which will impact our financial performance, is impacted by our Adjusted EBITDA, as our lenders measure our performance with a net first lien leverage ratio by comparing our senior secured bank indebtedness to our Adjusted EBITDA (see “Covenant Compliance” for additional discussion of this ratio, including a reconciliation to our net income). We reported Adjusted EBITDA in the nine months ended December 31, 2014 of $301.4 million and net income for the same period of $51.3 million.
Covenant Compliance
Our credit agreement, which governs our senior secured credit facilities, contains, among other provisions, restrictive covenants regarding indebtedness, payments and distributions, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, affiliate transactions, capital expenditures and the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Payment of borrowings under the credit agreement may be accelerated if there is an event of default. Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest when due, a material breach of a representation or warranty, certain non-payments or defaults under other indebtedness, covenant defaults, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. Certain covenants contained in the credit agreement restrict our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions, if we are unable to meet certain maximum net first lien leverage ratios and, with respect to our revolving facility, also require us to remain at or below a maximum net first lien leverage ratio of 7.75 to 1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter (3.62 to 1.0 at December 31, 2014). Failure to comply with this covenant could limit our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to obtain future debt or make acquisitions.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may

33

have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results.
In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions or dispositions to restructurings, and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred.
The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA under our credit agreement as of December 31, 2014 is presented in the table below. However, the results of such calculation could differ in the future based on the different types of adjustments that may be included in such respective calculations at the time.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated below.

(6)
The credit agreement defines our senior secured bank indebtedness (or other consolidated debt secured on a pari passu basis) as consolidated first lien indebtedness for borrowed money (other than letter of credit or bank guarantees), less unrestricted cash, which was $364.5 million (as defined by the credit agreement) at December 31, 2014. Senior secured indebtedness reflected in the table consists of borrowings under our credit agreement.
(7)
The credit agreement defines the net first lien leverage ratio as the ratio of senior secured indebtedness (as described above) to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters.


35

Liquidity and Capital Resources     
Our primary sources of liquidity are available cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and borrowing availability under our $265.0 million revolving credit facility and availability of $93.0 million under our accounts receivable securitization program.
As of December 31, 2014, we had $394.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $330.3 million of additional borrowing capacity ($237.3 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $93.0 million available under our accounts receivable securitization program). As of December 31, 2014, the available borrowings under our credit facility have been reduced by $27.7 million due to outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2014, we had $339.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $335.9 million of additional borrowing capacity ($235.9 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $100.0 million available under our accounts receivable securitization program). Both our revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization program are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $167.0 million compared to $93.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The increase in operating cash is primarily driven by a decrease in cash interest as a result of the August 2013 debt refinancing, partially offset by the investments we have made in working capital.
Cash used for investing activities was $88.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 compared to $143.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. We invested $32.1 million in capital expenditures in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 compared to $31.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 also included $62.0 million for the acquisitions of Tollok and Green Turtle (net of cash acquired), as compared to the use of $112.0 million for acquisitions in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. See Item 1, Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestiture for additional information.
Cash used for financing activities was $12.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 compared to $279.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 consisted of $14.6 million principal payments on our term loans and $3.7 million of other net payments. The first nine months of fiscal 2015 also includes $5.1 million related to the excess tax benefit on stock option exercises and $1.0 million of proceeds on stock option exercises. The cash used by financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 consisted of a $150.0 million prepayment of our then-outstanding term loan associated with the re-pricing of our term loan facility in April 2013. The cash used by financing activities also included a source of cash from the August 2013 refinancing of our term loan for $1,950.0 million (net of $19.5 million original issue discount) the proceeds of which were utilized to fully retire the previously outstanding $1,145.0 million of 8.50% Notes and $786.2 million of term loan and pay a $109.9 million tender premium to holders of the retired 8.50% Notes. The above transactions also included $17.1 million of related debt issue costs.
Indebtedness
As of December 31, 2014 we had $1,955.8 million of total indebtedness outstanding as follows (in millions):

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk during the normal course of business from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to cover known foreign currency transactions and interest rate fluctuations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to our foreign operations. For our foreign operations, exchange rates impact the U.S. Dollar ("USD") value of our reported earnings, our investments in the subsidiaries and the intercompany transactions with the subsidiaries. See “Risk Factors-Our international operations are subject to uncertainties, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
Approximately 34% and 33% of our sales originated outside of the United States in the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. As a result, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies against the USD, particularly the Euro, may have a material impact on our reported results. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD at the end of the fiscal period using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Consequently, as the value of the USD changes relative to the currencies of our major markets, our reported results vary.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates also impact the USD amount of our stockholders' equity. The assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the fiscal periods. As of December 31, 2014, stockholders' equity decreased by $46.4 million from March 31, 2014 as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments. If the USD had strengthened by 10% as of December 31, 2014, the result would have decreased stockholders' equity by approximately $52.6 million.
As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of these factors could adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts were not accounted for as effective cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) and as such were marked to market through earnings. We believe that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rates would have resulted in a $0.9 million increase in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts as of December 31, 2014.
Interest Rate Risk
We utilize a combination of short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations and are exposed to interest rate risk on these debt obligations.
A substantial portion of our indebtedness, including indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities bears interest at rates that fluctuate with changes in certain short-term prevailing interest rates. As of December 31, 2014, our outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility were $1,909.5 million (net of $16.1 million unamortized original issue discount) and bore an effective average interest rate of 4.00%, determined as the LIBO rate (subject to a 1% floor) plus 3.00%. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swaps and two spot starting interest rate caps to hedge the variability in future cash flows associated with a portion of the variable-rate term loans. The forward-starting interest rate swaps convert $650.0 million of the variable-rate term loans to a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.55% plus the applicable margin (and inclusive of a 1% LIBOR floor). The interest rate swaps become effective beginning on September 28, 2015 with a maturity of September 27, 2018. The interest rate caps were effective beginning as of October 24, 2014, with a maturity of October 24, 2018, and cap the interest on $750.0 million of the Company's variable-rate interest loans at 3%, plus the applicable margin. The existing interest rate swaps and interest rate caps together have effectively hedged approximately 73% of our outstanding variable rate term loans with a weighted average interest rate that cannot exceed 2.79% plus the applicable margin of 3%.
Our net income would be affected by changes in market interest rates on our variable-rate obligations (which comprises approximately 98% of our total indebtedness). As discussed above, our term loan facilities are subject to a 1% LIBOR floor. Therefore, a 100 basis point increase in the December 31, 2014 market interest rate would increase interest expense under our term loan facility by approximately $3.1 million on an annual basis. An additional 100 basis point increase in the LIBOR rate would add approximately $19 million of annual interest expense under our term loan facility.

ITEM  4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation as of December 31, 2014, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner allowing timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As such, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the period covered by this report.
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 the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
