CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
The following is a cautionary statement made under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995: With the exception of historical facts, the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q or incorporated by reference may be forward looking statements. Forward–looking
statements represent our management’s judgment regarding future events. In many cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential” or continue” or
the negative of these terms or other words of similar import, although some forward-looking
statements are expressed differently. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the forward-looking
statements, and you should be aware that results and events could differ materially and adversely
from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including:
|
• |
|
Unexpected issues and costs arising from the integration of acquired companies and
businesses, such as our recent acquisitions of the HVAC motors and capacitors businesses
and the Commercial AC motors business from General Electric Company (“GE”), including any
effect the acquired businesses may have on our ability to satisfy the requirements of
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
|
|
• |
|
Marketplace acceptance of our recent acquisitions, including the loss of, or a decline
in business from any significant customers; |
|
|
• |
|
Unanticipated fluctuations in commodity prices and raw material costs and issues
affecting our ability to pass increased costs on to our customers; |
|
|
• |
|
Cyclical downturns affecting the markets for capital goods; |
|
|
• |
|
Substantial increases in interest rates that impact the cost of our outstanding debt; |
|
|
• |
|
The impact of capital market transactions that the company may effect; |
|
|
• |
|
Unanticipated costs associated with litigation matters; |
|
|
• |
|
The success of our management in increasing sales and maintaining or improving the
operating margins of our businesses; |
|
|
• |
|
Actions taken by our competitors; |
|
|
• |
|
Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
|
|
• |
|
Our ability to satisfy various covenant requirements under our credit facility; and |
|
|
• |
|
Other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our reports filed with U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. |
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting
on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements.
The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date of this
filing, and we undertake no obligation to update these statements to reflect subsequent events or
circumstances.

REGAL-BELOIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 29, 2005
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of REGAL-BELOIT Corporation
and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All adjustments which
management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods
presented have been reflected and are of a normal recurring nature. 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, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Annual Report”).
2. INVENTORIES
Cost for approximately 88% of the Company’s inventory is determined using the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) inventory valuation method. The approximate percentage distribution between major classes
of inventories is as follows:

Preliminary appraisals by an independent valuation firm have been made of the
tangible and intangible assets purchased with the GE HVAC Motors and Capacitors
businesses and the GE Commercial AC Motors business in 2004. The preliminary
adjustments result from management’s review and valuation of acquired
assets of the businesses. For the six months ended June 29, 2005, the above
adjustments result primarily from the adjustment of finished goods
inventory to fair market value.
Other intangible assets consisted of the following (in millions):

Amortization expense recorded for the six months ended June 29, 2005 was $3.2 million. Estimated
amortization expense is $6.4 million in each of 2005, 2006, and 2007, $5.2 million in 2008 and
2009, and $22.5 million thereafter. We perform an annual evaluation of our goodwill and intangible
assets in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for impairment as required by SFAS 142, “Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets”.
7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method in
accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 23, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations. For stock
options, no compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans
had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock. Had compensation cost for
these plans been determined consistent with FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation”, the Company’s net income and earnings per share (“EPS”) would have been reduced to
the following pro-forma amounts:

The fair value of each stock option is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The
compensation expense included in net income is primarily for restricted stock.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which requires companies to expense
the value of employee stock options and similar awards. This Statement is a revision of FASB
Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. This Statement supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective
beginning January 1, 2006. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS No.
123(R).
8. PENSION PLANS
The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plans under the provisions of SFAS No. 87,
“Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”. The Company’s net periodic pension cost is comprised of the
following components:

In the second quarter and six months of 2005, the Company contributed $110,000 to defined benefit
pension plans. In the comparable periods of 2004, the Company contributed $279,000 and $348,000,
respectively, to defined benefit pension plans. The Company expects to contribute an additional
$220,000 over the balance of 2005, for a total of $330,000 in 2005 contributions. The assumptions
used in the valuation of the Company’s pension plans and in the target investment allocation have
remained the same as those disclosed in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report.

The increase from June 29, 2004 in dilutive securities in the quarter and six months ended June 29,
2005, was due primarily to the effect of shares attributable to the Company’s convertible senior
subordinated debt. Options for common shares where the exercise price was above the market price
at June 29, totaling 376,000 and 917,000 shares in 2005 and 2004, respectively, have been excluded
from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities, the effect of such options being
anti-dilutive.
10. CONTINGENCIES
An action was filed on June 4, 2004, and amended in September 2004, against one of the Company’s
subsidiaries, Marathon Electric Manufacturing Corporation (“Marathon”), by Enron Wind Energy
Systems, LLC, Enron Wind Contractors, LLC and Zond Minnesota Construction Company, LLC
(collectively, “Enron Wind”). The action was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York where each of the Enron Wind entities has consolidated its Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition as part of the Enron Corporation bankruptcy proceedings. In the action against
Marathon, Enron Wind has asserted various claims relating to the alleged failures and/or
degradations of performance of about 564 generators sold by Marathon to Enron Wind from 1997 to
1999. In January 2001, Enron Wind and Marathon entered into a “Generator Warranty and Settlement
Agreement and Release of All Claims” (“Warranty Agreement”). This Warranty Agreement resolved
various issues related to past performance of the generators, provided a limited warranty related
to the generators going forward, and contained a release by all parties of any claims related to
the generators other than those arising out of the obligations contained in the Warranty Agreement.
Enron Wind is seeking to recover the purchase price of the generators and transportation costs
totaling about $21 million. In addition, although the Warranty Agreement contains a waiver of
consequential, incidental, and punitive damages, Enron Wind claims that this limitation is
unenforceable and seeks recovery of consequential, incidental and punitive damages incurred by it
and by its customers, totaling an additional $100 million. Enron Wind has asserted claims of
breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, promissory
fraud, and intentional interference with contractual relations. Marathon has filed a motion with
the court seeking to have many of Enron Wind’s claims dismissed. Enron Wind recently has filed a
motion with the court seeking a declaration that Marathon had an obligation under the Warranty
Agreement to repair or replace the generators in the first instance regardless of whether an actual
breach of warranty had occurred. The court has held hearings on both motions, but has not yet
ruled.
The Company believes that this action is without merit and that it has meritorious defenses to the
action. The Company intends to defend vigorously all of the asserted claims. The litigation is in
an early discovery phase and it is difficult for the Company to predict the impact the litigation
may ultimately have on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, including the
expenses the Company may incur to defend against the action. As of June 29, 2005, the Company had
recorded a reserve in its financial statements solely related to a portion of the anticipated costs
in defending against this matter.
The Company is, from time to time, party to other lawsuits arising from its normal business
operations. It is believed that the outcome of these lawsuits will have no material effect on the
Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As part of the consideration paid for the acquisition of the HVAC Motors and Capacitors business on
December 31, 2004, the Company issued to GE 4,559,048 shares of common stock (approximately 15% of
the Company’s common stock issued). In connection with the GE acquisitions, the Company and GE
entered into various supply, transition services, and sales agreements. Included in accounts
payable on June 29, 2005 was $13.8 million consisting of amounts payable to GE related to trade
payables, transition services fees payable, and other payables of the businesses acquired from GE
in 2004. The amount paid to GE during the second quarter and first six months of 2005 for these
items and other liabilities arising at closing was $28.4 million and $85.0 million, respectively.
The amount expensed in the second quarter and first half of 2005 for transition services was $4.7
million and $8.4 million, respectively, which was recorded in operating expenses.
12. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company has entered into certain commodity forward contracts and options in connection with the
management of its exposure to fluctuations in certain raw material commodity pricing. These
derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company has also entered into
foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the exposure to the risks of changes in the exchange
rates of the U.S. dollar, where the Company has operations where the functional currency is the
local currency.
These contracts are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are accounted for as cash flow
hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in
each accounting period. An ineffective portion of a hedge’s change in fair value, if any, is
recorded in earnings in the period of change. The impact of ineffectiveness was immaterial in the
second quarter and first six months of 2005.
In the second quarter and six months of 2005, $2.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of net
increased fair market value of derivative instruments was recorded in AOCI. At June 29, 2005, the
Company had a balance of $4.7 million in other current assets and a corresponding net after tax
gain of $2.9 million in AOCI. Of the total other current assets and AOCI related to derivative
instruments, $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were related to currency hedges, with
the balance relating to commodity hedges. The Company estimates that $3.7 million of gains will be
reclassified from AOCI to earnings within the next 12 months, based on valuations at June 29, 2005.
13. ACQUISITIONS
On February 7, 2005 the Company acquired 95% ownership of Changzhou Modern Technologies Co., LTD.
(“CMT”). CMT is located in Changzhou, P.R. of China and will produce fractional electric motors.
The purchase price was $3.23 million which the Company will pay over a three-year period.
14. ANNOUNCEMENT OF STOCK OFFERING
On July 27, 2005, the Company announced a proposed offering of 4,750,000 shares of its common stock
that is expected to include 1,330,714 primary shares being offered by the Company and 3,419,286
secondary shares being offered by one selling shareholder, GE. The Company and GE expect to grant
the underwriters an option to sell up to an additional 712,500 shares on a pro-rata basis to
satisfy over-allotments. The shares are being offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration
statement that was previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Based on an assumed offering price of $29.56 per share (the last reported sale price on July 26,
2005), the Company estimates that the net proceeds of the primary shares of the common stock
(assuming no exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option), after deducting the underwriting
discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, will be approximately $37.1
million. The Company expects to also receive approximately $4.8 million from GE’s net proceeds of
the shares GE is offering to sell, pursuant to the terms of the shareholder agreement between GE
and the Company. The referenced shareholder agreement was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 6, 2005. The Company plans to use the net proceeds to
reduce the outstanding long-term debt of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Item 2 to “we”, “us”, “our” or the
“Company” refer collectively to REGAL-BELOIT Corporation and its subsidiaries.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales for the second quarter of 2005 were $368.8 million, which is a 107.5% increase over $177.7
million in the second quarter of 2004. Included in the sales were $177.5 million of sales from the
Commercial AC Motors and HVAC Motors and Capacitors businesses acquired in 2004. Sales in our
Electrical segment increased 150.7% including the sales attributable to the acquired businesses.
Approximately 93% of the sales increase is attributable to the sales from the acquired businesses.
Sales in our Mechanical segment, which reflect the impact of the sale of the Illinois Gear
business in May 2005, increased .8%. The sale of the Illinois Gear business reduced segment sales
by approximately $1.5 million for the second quarter.
Our sales in the first six months of 2005 were $706.6 million, compared to $340.7 million in
comparable 2004, an increase of 107.4%. Included in the $706.6 million were $332.6 million of
sales from the businesses we acquired from GE. Electrical segment 2005 six months sales were
$606.4 million, including the sales from the acquired businesses. This compared to the 2004 first
half sales of $242.7 million for our Electrical segment. For the six months of 2005, Mechanical
segment sales were $100.1 million as compared to $98.0 million in comparable 2004.
Our gross margin for the second quarter of 2005 was 21.6%, compared to the 23.0% reported in the
second quarter of 2004 and 20.3% reported for the first quarter of 2005. Gross margins continued
to be impacted by raw material cost increases which were, however, mostly offset by price increases
we instituted and productivity improvements we achieved. Additionally, the gross margin of the
acquired businesses reduced our margins in total, due primarily to our operations in certain higher
cost facilities retained by GE, from which we are transitioning our operations. Our gross margin
for the first half of 2005 was 21.0%, compared to 23.2% in the comparable period of 2004.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2005 were 11.9% of sales versus 15.0% in the second
quarter of 2004, reflecting the volume leveraging of fixed costs and the impact of the acquired GE
businesses, which have lower operating expenses as a percent of sales compared to the remainder of
our businesses. Operating expenses in the first half of 2005 were 12.3% of sales versus 15.4% in
the comparable period of 2004.
Income from operations in 2005’s second quarter was $35.8 million versus $14.2 million in the
second quarter of 2004, an increase of 152.7%. As a percent of sales, income from operations was
9.7% versus 8.0% in the second quarter 2004. Income from operations for the first half of 2005 was
$61.7 million, a 130.9% increase from the $26.7 million reported in the comparable period of 2004.
As a percent of sales, income from operations was 8.7% versus 7.8% reported for the first six
months of 2004.
Interest expense was $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $1.5 million in comparable
2004. This increase was driven by our higher level of debt outstanding resulting primarily from
the funds borrowed for the cash portion of the 2004 acquisitions. Interest expense in the six
months of 2005 was $11.3 million versus $2.8 million for the same period of 2004. Our effective
tax rate in the second quarter of 2005 was 36.7% as compared to 35.9% in the second quarter of
2004.
Our net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $18.4 million, an increase of 141.8% versus the
$7.6 million reported in the second quarter of 2004. Fully diluted earnings per share were $.62
which was an increase of 100.0% versus $.31 in the second quarter of 2004. The average number of
diluted shares in the second quarter of 2005 was 29,720,400, versus 24,677,155 shares in comparable
2004. The increase in the average number of shares outstanding versus the second quarter of 2004
resulted primarily from the shares issued to GE as part of the consideration paid for the HVAC
motors and capacitors businesses we acquired on December 31, 2004. Net income was $30.7 million
in the first half of 2005 versus $14.5 million reported in comparable 2004. Fully diluted
earnings per share were $1.03, which was an increase of 77.6% versus $.58 for the same period of
2004. The average number of diluted shares was 29,982,397 for the six months of 2005, versus
24,977,674 shares in comparable 2004.
11
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 29, 2005, our working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) was $299.1
million, $19.4 million above the $279.7 million at December 31, 2004. Higher accounts receivable
and reduced accounts payable were the most significant factors in the increase. The ratio of our
current assets to our current liabilities (“current ratio”) of 2.5:1 at June 29, 2005 rose from
2.4:1 at year-end 2004.
Our cash flow from operations was $34.6 million in the second quarter of 2005, a $23.0 million
increase from $11.6 million in the comparable quarter of 2004. The combination of a $10.8 million
(142%) increase in net income and a $4.1 million (72%) increase in depreciation and amortization in
the second quarter of 2005 versus the comparable period of 2004 accounted for most of the increase
in cash flow. At June 29, 2005, accounts receivable were $23.2 million higher than at December 31,
2004, all of the increase occurring in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in accounts
receivable, due to our improved sales volume, partially offset our higher net income and
depreciation and amortization, resulting in first half 2005 operating cash flow of $33.8 million, a
$17.5 million (107%) increase from $16.3 million in the first six months of 2004.
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.1 million during the second quarter of 2005 and was
$17.2 million for the first half of 2005. While capital spending of $8.4 million in the second
quarter was higher than the $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, $3.6 million of cash we
received from the sale of the Illinois Gear business in May reduced our net capital spending. Our
capital spending in the first six months of 2005 of $15.5 million was a 133% increase from the $6.7
million spent in comparable 2004, due primarily to the impact of the acquisitions we made in
August and December of 2004. Business acquisitions of $5.5 million reflected payments made in the
first quarter of 2005 for the CMT acquisition and additional payments relating to the 2004 HVAC
motors and capacitors acquisition.
Our cash flows used in financing activities were $29.6 million during the second quarter of 2005,
due primarily to repayment of long-term debt totaling $26.8 million. For the first six months of
2005, the use of cash in financing activities was $18.2 million, which includes long-term debt
repayment of $11.0 million.
Our outstanding long-term debt decreased to $536.9 million at June 29, 2005 from $563.6 million at
March 31, 2005, due primarily to $32.5 million of cash provided by operating activities in the
second quarter of 2005, of which an $11.0 million reduction in inventories was a significant
factor. Compared to long-term debt of $547.4 million at December 31, 2004, our long-term debt at
June 29, 2005 was $10.5 million lower. Of our total long-term debt, $417.5 million was outstanding
under our $475 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on May 5, 2009 (the
“Facility”). The Facility permits us to borrow at interest rates based upon a margin above the
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which margin varies with the ratio of total funded debt
to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). These interest rates
also vary as LIBOR varies. LIBOR has risen a total of 2.4 percentage points since June 2004. We
also pay a commitment fee on the unused amount of the $475 million Facility credit limit, which
also varies with the ratio of our total debt to our EBITDA. At June 29, 2005, our margin above
LIBOR was 1.5% and our commitment fee rate was .3%. The Facility requires us to maintain
specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. We were in compliance
with all of these tests as of June 29, 2005.
In addition to the Facility, at June 29, 2005 we also had $115 million of convertible senior
subordinated debt outstanding at a fixed interest rate of 2.75%. We also had outstanding an
additional $4.9 million of other senior debt. At June 29, 2005, our borrowing availability was
$58.8 million based on the Facility’s financial covenants.
On July 27, 2005, the Company announced a proposed offering of 4,750,000 shares of its common stock
that is expected to include 1,330,714 primary shares being offered by the Company and 3,419,286
secondary shares being offered by one selling shareholder, GE. The Company and GE expect to grant
the underwriters an option to sell up to an additional 712,500 shares on a pro-rata basis to
satisfy over-allotments. The shares are being offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration
statement that was previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
12
Based on an assumed offering price of $29.56 per share (the last reported sale price on July 26,
2005), the Company estimates that the net proceeds of the primary shares of the common stock
(assuming no exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option), after deducting the underwriting
discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, will be approximately $37.1
million. The Company expects to also receive approximately $4.8 million from GE’s net proceeds of
the shares GE is offering to sell, pursuant to the terms of the shareholder agreement between GE
and the Company. The referenced shareholder agreement was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 6, 2005. The Company plans to use the net proceeds to
reduce the outstanding long-term debt of the Company.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of title, which generally occurs upon shipment of the
product to the customer. The pricing of products sold is generally supported by customer purchase
orders, and accounts receivable collection is reasonably assured at the time of shipment.
Estimated discounts and rebates are recorded as a reduction of sales in the same period revenue is
recognized. Product returns and credits are estimated and recorded at the time of shipment based
upon historical experience. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as revenue when billed to the
customers.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is not amortized;
however it is tested for impairment at least annually, with any resulting adjustment charged to the
results of operations. Amortization continues to be recorded for other intangible assets with
definite lives.
Retirement Plans
Approximately half of our domestic employees are covered by defined benefit pension plans with the
remaining domestic employees covered by defined contribution plans. The large majority of our
foreign employees are covered by mandated government programs. Our obligations under our domestic
defined benefit plans are determined with the assistance of actuarial firms. The actuaries make
certain assumptions regarding such factors as withdrawal rates and mortality rates. The actuaries
also provide us with information and recommendations from which management makes further
assumptions on such factors as the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets, the discount
rate on benefit obligations and where applicable, the rate of annual compensation increases. Based
upon the assumptions made, the investments made by the plans, overall conditions and movement in
financial markets, particularly the stock market and how actual withdrawal rates, life-spans of
benefit recipients and other factors differ from assumptions, annual expenses and recorded assets
or liabilities of these defined benefit plans may change significantly from year to year. Based on
our annual review of actuarial assumptions as well as historical rates of return on plan assets and
existing long-term bond rates, we set the long-term rate of return on plan assets at 8.75% and the
discount rate at 5.75% for our defined benefit plans as of December 31, 2004. We expect our
domestic defined benefit pension expenses in 2005 to increase approximately $1.8 million from 2004,
due primarily to the two acquisitions we made from GE in 2004.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which requires companies
to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. This Statement is a revision of
FASB Statement
No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS No. 123R(R) has been revised to become effective
beginning January 1, 2006. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS No.
123(R).
13
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement
of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS No. 154”). This statement changes the
requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154
requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting
principle, where practical to do so. This statement is applicable for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that this standard will have a material effect
on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk relating to the Company’s operations due to changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices of purchased raw materials. We manage
the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and
derivative financial instruments such as commodity cash flow hedges and foreign currency forward
exchange contracts.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on certain of its short-term and long-term debt
obligations used to finance our operations and acquisitions. At June 29, 2005, we had $115.9
million of fixed rate debt and $421.5 million of variable rate debt, the latter subject to interest
rate risk. The variable rate debt is under a credit facility with an interest rate based on a
margin above LIBOR. As a result, interest rate changes impact future earnings and cash flow
assuming other factors are constant. A hypothetical 10% change in our weighted average borrowing
rate on outstanding variable rate debt at June 29, 2005, would result in a change in after-tax
annualized earnings of approximately $1.2 million.
The Company periodically enters into commodity futures and options hedging transactions to reduce
the impact of changing copper and aluminum commodity prices. Contract terms of commodity hedge
instruments generally mirror those of the hedged item, providing a high degree of risk reduction
and correlation.
We are also exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These
risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, intercompany
loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our objective
is to minimize our exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and
the utilization of foreign currency contracts to manage our exposure on the transactions
denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency. Due to our two
acquisitions in August and December 2004, we have significantly increased our manufacturing
operations outside the United States. In the first half of 2005, we began to enter into contracts
to hedge foreign-currency denominated forecasted transactions. Contracts are executed with
creditworthy banks and are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. It is our
policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
We do not hedge our exposure to the translation of reported results of foreign subsidiaries from
local currency to United States dollars.
All hedges are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are accounted for as cash flow
hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in
each accounting period. An ineffective portion of the hedge’s change in fair value, if any, is
recorded in earnings in the period of change. The impact due to ineffectiveness was immaterial for
all periods included in this report.
In the second quarter and six months of 2005, $2.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of net
increased hedge value was recorded in AOCI. At June 29, 2005, we had a balance of $4.7 million in
other current assets and a corresponding net after tax gain of $2.9 million in AOCI, representing
the fair market value of cash flow commodity and foreign currency hedges. Of the total other
current assets and AOCI values, $1.7 and $1.0 million, respectively, related to currency
hedges, with the balance relating to commodity hedges and translation adjustments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of
the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in recording, processing,
14
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.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
An action was filed on June 4, 2004, and amended in September 2004, against one of the Company’s
subsidiaries, Marathon Electric Manufacturing Corporation (“Marathon”), by Enron Wind Energy
Systems, LLC, Enron Wind Contractors, LLC and Zond Minnesota Construction Company, LLC
(collectively, “Enron Wind”). The action was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York where each of the Enron Wind entities has consolidated its Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition as part of the Enron Corporation bankruptcy proceedings. In the action against
Marathon, Enron Wind has asserted various claims relating to the alleged failures and/or
degradations of performance of about 564 generators sold by Marathon to Enron Wind from 1997 to
1999. In January 2001, Enron Wind and Marathon entered into a “Generator Warranty and Settlement
Agreement and Release of All Claims” (“Warranty Agreement”). This Warranty Agreement resolved
various issues related to past performance of the generators, provided a limited warranty related
to the generators going forward, and contained a release by all parties of any claims related to
the generators other than those arising out of the obligations contained in the Warranty Agreement.
Enron Wind is seeking to recover the purchase price of the generators and transportation costs
totaling about $21 million. In addition, although the Warranty Agreement contains a waiver of
consequential, incidental, and punitive damages, Enron Wind claims that this limitation is
unenforceable and seeks recovery of consequential, incidental and punitive damages incurred by it
and by its customers, totaling an additional $100 million. Enron Wind has asserted claims of
breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, promissory
fraud, and intentional interference with contractual relations. Marathon has filed a motion with
the court seeking to have many of Enron Wind’s claims dismissed. Enron Wind recently has filed a
motion with the court seeking a declaration that Marathon had an obligation under the Warranty
Agreement to repair or replace the generators in the first instance regardless of whether an actual
breach of warranty had occurred. The court has held hearings on both motions, but has not yet
ruled.
The Company believes that this action is without merit and that it has meritorious defenses to the
action. The Company intends to defend vigorously all of the asserted claims. The litigation is in
an early discovery phase and it is difficult for the Company to predict the impact the litigation
may ultimately have on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, including the
expenses the Company may incur to defend against the action. As of June 29, 2005, the Company had
recorded a reserve in its financial statements solely related to a portion of the anticipated costs
in defending against this matter.
The Company is, from time to time, party to other lawsuits arising from its normal business
operations. It is believed that the outcome of these lawsuits will have no material effect on the
Company’s financial position or its results of operations.
