NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of FLIR Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Reclassification

A reclassification of $9.3 million has been made from other current assets to other current liabilities on the December 31, 2009 balance sheet to properly classify the balance of value added taxes payable as a current liability. This reclassification had no impact on previously reported results of operations or shareholders’ equity.

Note 2. Accounting for Convertible Debt

In June 2003, the Company issued $210 million of 3.0 percent senior convertible notes due in 2023. The net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $203.9 million. The Company determined that the expected life of the notes should be seven years since the notes were first redeemable in June 2010. The Company estimates that its nonconvertible borrowing rate for debt with a seven year maturity issued in June 2003 was 6.0 percent. Accordingly, the value of the liability component of the notes at the time of issuance was $174.4 million and the value of the equity component was $35.6 million.

In June 2010, $58.8 million of the outstanding convertible notes were converted into 5.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock in non-cash transactions.

The carrying amounts of the convertible notes are as follows (in thousands):

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $172.0 million of cash equivalents, which were primarily investments in money market funds. The Company has categorized its cash equivalents as a Level 1 financial asset, measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets of identical assets, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The fair value of the Company’s forward currency contracts as of June 30, 2010 was not significant. The Company does not have any other financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value.

Note 6. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company purchases derivative financial instruments on a limited basis to manage well-defined foreign currency risks. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge the value of material non-functional currency monetary asset and liability balances. The net effect of an immediate 10% change in exchange rates on the forward exchange contracts and the underlying hedged positions would not be material to the Company’s financial position or the results of operations.

The table below summarizes, by currency, the notional amounts of the forward exchange contracts in US dollars as of June 30, 2010 (in thousands):

 

     Buy    Sell

British Pound Sterling

     938      1,563

Australian Dollar

     —        899

The “Buy” amounts represent the net US dollar equivalents of commitments to purchase foreign currencies, and the “Sell” amounts represent the net US dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies. The foreign currency amounts have been translated into the US dollar equivalent value using the exchange rate at the reporting date.

Note 17. Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiary, Indigo Systems Corporation (now known as FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.), (together, the “FLIR Parties”), were named in a lawsuit filed by Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”) on March 2, 2007, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. On August 11, 2008, Raytheon Company was granted leave to file a second amended complaint. The complaint, as amended, asserted claims for tortious interference, patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition, breach of contract and fraudulent concealment. The FLIR Parties filed an answer to the second amended complaint and counterclaims on September 2, 2008, in which they denied all material allegations. On August 31, 2009, the court entered an order granting the FLIR Parties’ motion for summary judgment on Raytheon’s trade secret misappropriation claim based on the FLIR Parties’ statute of limitations defense. Raytheon has abandoned all of its other claims except its claims relating to four patents which are currently set for trial to commence on September 20, 2010. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter and is unable to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result if the outcome in this matter is unfavorable.

On July 10, 2008, plaintiffs William J. Parrish and E. Timothy Fitzgibbons filed an action against FLIR Systems, Inc. its affiliate Indigo Systems Corporation (now known as FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.), Earl R. Lewis and James A. Fitzhenry (collectively, “Defendants”) in California Superior Court for the County of Santa Barbara asserting claims for negligent and intentional tortious interference with prospective economic relations. The claims arose from a prior action in the same court in which then-defendants Parrish and Fitzgibbons prevailed. On November 20, 2009, plaintiffs amended their complaint to add a malicious prosecution claim, as well as two additional claims for negligent and intentional tortious interference with prospective economic relations. On July 19, 2010, plaintiffs further amended their complaint to name the Company’s former counsel in the prior action as a defendant. Defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves in this matter and are unable to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result if the outcome in this matter is unfavorable.

Note 18. Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $6.0 million of net unrecognized tax benefits of which all $6.0 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company anticipates a portion of its net unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized within 12 months as the result of settlements or effective settlements with various tax authorities, the closure of certain audits and the lapse of statute of limitations.

The Company classifies interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $647,000 of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company currently has the following tax years open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions:

Note 20. Business Acquisitions

In May 2010, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Raymarine Holdings Limited (“Raymarine”), a leading provider of a comprehensive range of electronic equipment for recreational boating and light commercial marine markets, for approximately $177.8 million in cash.

The excess purchase price of approximately $123.1 million has been reported in Other Assets as of June 30, 2010.

In December 2009, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Directed Perception, Inc. for approximately $20.2 million in cash.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”), including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events and the future results of FLIR Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“FLIR” or the “Company”) that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions about the Company’s business. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “sees,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2, and elsewhere in this Report as well as those discussed from time to time in the Company’s other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report, or for changes made to this document by wire services or Internet service providers. If we update or correct one or more forward-looking statements, investors and others should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections with respect to other forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased by 19.1 percent, from $278.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $331.1 million in the second quarter of 2010. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 12.4 percent, from $550.0 million in the first six months of 2009 to $618.4 million in the first six months of 2010.

Government Systems revenue increased $7.5 million, or 4.7 percent, from $160.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $167.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. Government Systems revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $3.7 million, or 1.1 percent, from $322.6 million in the first six months of 2009 to $326.2 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase in Government Systems revenue in the second quarter and the first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 was primarily due to increased revenue from ground-based products and revenue from a business acquired in the fourth quarter of 2009 partially offset by a decrease in revenue from large stabilized gimbal products and maritime products.

Thermography revenue increased $4.6 million, or 6.9 percent, from $66.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $71.4 million in the second quarter of 2010. Thermography revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $16.2 million, or 12.4 percent, from $130.7 million in the first six months of 2009 to $146.9 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase in Thermography revenue in the second quarter and the first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 was primarily due to increased revenue in the United States and the Asia-Pacific region across most of the product lines, partially offset by a decline in revenue in Europe.

Commercial Vision Systems revenue increased $13.8 million, or 27.2 percent, from $50.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $64.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. Commercial Vision Systems revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $21.4 million, or 22.1 percent, from $96.7 million in the first six months of 2009 to $118.1 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase in Commercial Vision Systems revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 was primarily due to increased unit sales in our security, transportation and maritime product lines and the introduction in 2010 of the personal night vision systems products.

Revenue from Raymarine Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (“Raymarine”) for the period ended June 30, 2010 was $27.2 million. We acquired Raymarine on May 14, 2010. The results of Raymarine are reported for the period from May 14, 2010 to June 30, 2010.

The timing of deliveries against large contracts, especially for our Government Systems and Commercial Vision Systems products, can give rise to quarter-to-quarter and year-over-year fluctuations in the mix of revenue. Consequently, year-over-year comparisons for any given quarter may not be indicative of comparisons using longer time periods. While we currently expect an overall increase in total annual revenue for 2010 of approximately 20 percent, the mix of revenue between our four business segments and within certain product categories in our business segments will vary from quarter to quarter.

Table of Contents

As a percentage of revenue, international sales were 49.0 percent and 41.1 percent for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 45.9 percent and 39.0 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. While the percentage of revenue from international sales will continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter partially due to the timing of shipments under international and domestic government contracts, management anticipates that revenue from international sales as a percentage of total revenue will continue to comprise a significant percentage of revenue.

At June 30, 2010, we had an order backlog of $518 million. Backlog in the Government Systems, Thermography, Commercial Vision Systems and Raymarine divisions was $375 million, $22 million, $104 million and $17 million, respectively. Backlog is defined as orders received for products or services for which a sales agreement is in place and delivery is expected within twelve months.

    Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $183.3 million compared to $161.9 million for the same quarter last year. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $348.7 million compared to $319.7 million for the same period of 2009. Gross margin, defined as gross profit divided by revenue, decreased from 58.3 percent in the second quarter of 2009 to 55.4 percent in the second quarter of 2010, and from 58.1 percent in the first six months of 2009 to 56.4 percent in the first six months of 2010. The decrease in gross margin for both the three and six month periods in 2010 was primarily due to lower gross margin at Raymarine (which has historically lower gross margins than our other three business segments) and the product mix in our Government Systems division.

    Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $28.3 million, compared to $23.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. Research and development expenses for the first six months of 2010 and 2009 were $53.1 million and $45.6 million, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses was due to increased investment in new product development in all business segments including acquisitions made during 2009 and 2010. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses were 8.5 percent and 8.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 8.6 percent and 8.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $65.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to $54.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2010 and 2009 were $121.4 million and $106.0 million, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased spending in each of our business segments to drive future growth, including the operating expenses and acquisition related costs of businesses acquired during 2009 and 2010, partially offset by reduced corporate legal expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 19.7 percent and 19.4 percent for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 19.6 percent and 19.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

    Interest expense. Interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2010 was $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $4.5 million for the same periods of 2009. Interest expense is primarily attributable to the accrual of interest on the convertible notes that were issued in June 2003 and the amortization of the discounts recorded on the notes and the costs related to the issuance of the notes. The decrease in interest expense in 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009 is primarily due to the conversions of our outstanding convertible notes in 2009 and 2010.

    Other income/expense. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded other income of $1.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to other expense of $1.1 million and $68,000 for the same periods of 2009. Other income in 2010 and other expense in 2009 primarily consist of income earned on investments and foreign currency gains and losses.

    Income taxes. The income tax provision of $31.4 million and $58.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, represents an effective tax rate of 34.6 percent and 33.8 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 is higher than the six month rate due to the non-deductibility of acquisition costs incurred primarily during the second quarter. We expect the annual effective tax rate for the full year of 2010 to be approximately 32 percent to 34 percent. The effective tax rate is lower than the US Federal tax rate of 35 percent because of foreign tax rates and the effect of federal, foreign and state tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $284.5 million compared to $422.0 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the acquisition of Raymarine, capital expenditures and the purchase of shares of our outstanding common stock, partially offset by cash provided by operations.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $124.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to net earnings, adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in inventories and decreases in accrued payroll and other liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities of $219.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily related to the acquisition of Raymarine and capital expenditures, including $29.0 million for a facility in Goleta, California for the Commercial Vision Systems division. Cash used in investing activities of $41.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily related to capital expenditures and the acquisition of Salvador Imaging, Inc.

On October 6, 2006, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Union Bank of California, N.A., U.S. Bank National Association and other Lenders (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $300 million, five-year revolving line of credit. We have the right, subject to certain conditions including approval of additional commitments by qualified lenders, to increase the line of credit by an additional $150 million until October 6, 2011. The Credit Agreement includes a $100 million sublimit multicurrency option, permitting us and certain of our designated subsidiaries to borrow in Euro, Kronor, Sterling and other agreed upon currencies.

Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings will bear interest based upon the prime lending rate of the Bank of America or Eurodollar rates with a provision for a spread over Eurodollar rates based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Eurodollar interest rate was 1.284 percent and the prime lending rate was 3.25 percent at June 30, 2010. These rates were 1.001 percent and 3.25 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2009. The Credit Agreement requires us to pay a commitment fee on the amount of unused credit at a rate, based on our leverage ratio, which ranges from 0.175 percent to 0.325 percent. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the commitment fee rate was 0.175 percent. The Credit Agreement contains six financial covenants that require the maintenance of certain leverage ratios, in addition to minimum levels of EBITDA and consolidated net worth, a maximum level of capital expenditures and a minimum liquidity of cash and availability under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and were in compliance with all of its financial covenants. We had $12.4 million and $7.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which reduces the total available credit thereunder.

Our Sweden subsidiary has a 30 million Swedish Kronor (approximately $3.9 million) line of credit with an interest rate at 1.008 percent at June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, the Company had no amounts outstanding on this line of credit. The 30 million Swedish Kronor line of credit is secured primarily by accounts receivable and inventories of the Sweden subsidiary and is subject to automatic renewal on an annual basis.

In June 2003, we issued $210 million of 3.0 percent senior convertible notes due in 2023 in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $203.9 million. Issuance costs were being amortized over a period of seven years. Interest was payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. As of June 30, 2010, all of the notes have been converted into 18.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Cash used in financing activities of $23.9 million and $37.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, primarily related to the repurchase of 1.2 million shares and 2.1 million shares, respectively, of our common stock, partially offset by cash provided from our stock-based compensation plans.

We believe that our existing cash combined with the cash we anticipate to generate from operating activities and our available credit facilities and financing available from other sources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. We do not have any significant capital commitments for the current year nor are we aware of any significant events or conditions that are likely to have a material impact on our liquidity.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2009-13”), which provides amendments to the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangements,” for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and expands the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2010. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2009-13 is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2010, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e). Based on the evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
