In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.

 

ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new standards for improving disclosures about fair value measurements.  This guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding transfers in and out of the levels within the fair value hierarchy.  Separate disclosures are required for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, and the reasons for the transfers must be disclosed.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009.  As this standard is disclosure related, it did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

The Company has also adopted a new accounting standard which provides amendments to previous guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities.  This standard clarifies the characteristics that identify a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and changes how a reporting entity identifies a primary beneficiary that would consolidate the VIE from a quantitative risk and rewards calculation to a qualitative approach based on which variable interest holder has controlling financial interest and the ability to direct the most significant activities that impact the VIE’s economic performance.  This statement requires the primary beneficiary assessment to be performed on a continuous basis.  The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The adoption did not have an impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

INCOME TAXES

The Company computes taxes on income in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the many taxing authorities where the income is earned.  The income tax rates imposed by these taxing authorities may vary substantially.  Taxable income may differ from pretax income for financial accounting purposes.  To the extent that these differences create differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements, an appropriate provision for deferred income taxes is made.

The Company has expressed the intention to reinvest the undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries.  In its determination of which foreign earnings are permanently reinvested in foreign operations, the Company considers numerous factors, including the financial requirements of the U.S. parent company and those of its foreign subsidiaries, the U.S. funding needs for dividend payments and stock repurchases, and the tax consequences of remitting earnings to the U.S.  From this analysis, current year repatriation decisions are made in an attempt to provide a proper mix of debt and shareholder capital both within the U.S. and for non-U.S. operations.  Undistributed earnings will continue to be reinvested indefinitely and could become subject to additional tax if they were remitted as dividends or lent to a U.S. affiliate, or if the Company should sell its stock in the subsidiaries.  It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional tax that might be payable on these undistributed non-U.S. earnings.  The Company will continue to evaluate annually if it will repatriate non-U.S. subsidiary current year earnings or a portion thereof.    The Company repatriated approximately $80 million of current year earnings in the second quarter of 2010.

The Company provides a liability for the amount of tax benefits realized from uncertain tax positions.  This liability is provided whenever the Company determines that a tax benefit will not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition.  See Note 12 for more information.

EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

In order to meet or exceed minimum funding levels required by U.S. law, the Company has contributed $7.4 million, as of June 30, 2010, to its domestic defined benefit plans.  The Company also expects to contribute approximately $6.0 million to its foreign defined benefit plans in 2010, and as of June 30, 2010, has contributed approximately $0.4 million.

 

NOTE 5 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

 

The Company maintains a foreign exchange risk management policy designed to establish a framework to protect the value of the Company’s non-functional denominated transactions from adverse changes in exchange rates.  Sales of the Company’s products can be denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs to produce the product are denominated.  Changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales or intercompany loans impact the Company’s results of operations.  The Company’s policy is not to engage in speculative foreign currency hedging activities, but to minimize its net foreign currency transaction exposure defined as firm commitments and transactions recorded and denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.  The Company may use foreign currency forward exchange contracts, options and cross currency swaps to economically hedge these risks.

The Company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in interest rates.

For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the nature and relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the method of assessing hedge effectiveness.  Additionally, in order to designate any derivative instrument as a hedge of an anticipated transaction, the significant characteristics and expected terms of any anticipated transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that the anticipated transaction will occur.

 

FAIR VALUE HEDGES

The Company has an interest rate swap to convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt.  Under the interest rate swap contract, the Company exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate amounts, which is calculated based on an agreed upon notional amount.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company recorded the fair value of the interest rate swap contract as $290 thousand in miscellaneous other assets with a corresponding increase to debt related to the fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal value of $5 million.  No gain or loss was recorded in the income statement in 2009 or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as any hedge ineffectiveness for the period was immaterial.

 

CASH FLOW HEDGES

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had one foreign currency cash flow hedge.  A French entity of Aptargroup, Aptargroup Holding SAS, has hedged the risk of variability in Euro equivalent associated with the cash flows of an intercompany loan granted in Brazilian Real.  The forward contracts utilized were designated as a hedge of the changes in the cash flows relating to the changes in foreign currency rates relating to the loan and related forecasted interest.  The notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts utilized to hedge cash flow exposure was 2.67 million Brazilian Real ($1.5 million) as of June 30, 2010.  The notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts utilized to hedge cash flow exposure was 4.2 million Brazilian Real ($2.2 million) as of June 30, 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company did not recognize any net gain (loss) as any hedge ineffectiveness for the period was immaterial, and the Company did not recognize any net gain (loss) related to the portion of the hedging instrument excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts hedge forecasted transactions for less than two years (March 2012).

 

HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS

A significant number of the Company’s operations are located outside of the United States.  Because of this, movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on the translation of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company’s foreign entities.  A strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutive translation effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  Conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar has an additive effect.  The Company in some cases maintains debt in these subsidiaries to offset the net asset exposure.  The Company does not otherwise use derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.  In the event the Company plans on a full or partial liquidation of any of its foreign subsidiaries where the Company’s net investment is likely to be monetized, the Company will consider hedging the currency exposure associated with such a transaction.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company, in the normal course of business, is subject to a number of lawsuits and claims both actual and potential in nature.  Management believes the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse or positive effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Under its Certificate of Incorporation, the Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at its request in such capacity.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a directors and officers liability insurance policy that covers a portion of its exposure.  As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal.  The Company had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2010.

 

NOTE 7 — STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 602 thousand and 802 thousand shares for aggregate amounts of $25.0 million and $33.0 million, respectively.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company has a remaining authorization to repurchase 2.9 million additional shares.  The timing of and total amount expended for the share repurchase depends upon market conditions.  There is no time limit on the repurchase authorization.

 

NOTE 8 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 10 — ACQUISITIONS

 

In March 2010, the Company acquired certain equipment, inventory and intellectual property rights for approximately $3.0 million in cash.  No debt was assumed in the transaction.  The purchase price approximated the fair value of the assets acquired and therefore no goodwill was recorded.  The results of operations subsequent to the acquisition are included in the reported income statement.  The assets acquired are included in the Closures reporting segment.

In August 2009, the Company acquired Covit do Brasil Componentes de Alumínio para Perfumaria Ltda. (Covit do Brasil) for approximately $7.6 million in cash.  Covit do Brasil has been operating in Brazil since 2005 developing and supplying anodized aluminum parts primarily for the fragrance/cosmetic market.  Covit do Brasil generally supplies parts to other companies within Aptargroup.  No debt was assumed in the transaction.  Covit do Brasil’s annual revenues are approximately $7.0 million, of which approximately $6.0 million are with Aptargroup subsidiaries.  The excess purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired was allocated to Goodwill.  Goodwill of approximately $0.7 million was recorded on the transaction.  The results of operations subsequent to the acquisition are included in the reported income statement.  Covit do Brasil is included in the Beauty & Home reporting segment.

Neither of these acquisitions had a material impact on the results of operations in 2010 or 2009 and therefore no proforma information is presented.

NOTE 11 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company issues stock options and restricted stock units to employees under Stock Awards Plans approved by shareholders.  Stock options are issued to non-employee directors for their services as directors under Director Stock Option Plans approved by shareholders.  Options are awarded with the exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant and generally become exercisable over three years and expire 10 years after grant.  Restricted stock units generally vest over three years.

Compensation expense recorded attributable to stock options for the first half of 2010 was approximately $8.2 million ($5.7 million after tax), or $0.08 per share basic and diluted.  The income tax benefit related to this compensation expense was approximately $2.5 million.  Approximately $7.5 million of the compensation expense was recorded in selling, research & development and administrative expenses and the balance was recorded in cost of sales.  Compensation expense recorded attributable to stock options for the first half of 2009 was approximately $6.8 million ($5.1 million after tax), or $0.07 per share basic and diluted.  The income tax benefit related to this compensation expense was approximately $1.7 million.  Approximately $6.2 million of the compensation expense was recorded in selling, research & development and administrative expenses and the balance was recorded in cost of sales.

The Company uses historical data to estimate expected life and volatility.  The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted under the Stock Awards Plans was $9.18 and $7.33 per share in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  These values were estimated on the respective dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

NOTE 12 — INCOME TAX UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Company had approximately $10.3 and $10.8 million recorded for income tax uncertainties as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  The amount, if recognized, that would impact the effective tax rate is $9.5 and $10.0 million, respectively.  The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the amount recorded for income tax uncertainties over the next 12 months.

 

NOTE 13 — FAIR VALUE

 

Authoritative guidelines require the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities.  Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

·                  Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

·                  Level 2:  Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1.  For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

·                  Level 3:  Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

NET SALES

 

Net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $523 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, and represented an increase for the quarter of 19%.  The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 18% when compared to the same periods a year ago.  The average U.S. dollar exchange rate strengthened against the Euro in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, and as a result, changes in exchange rates negatively impacted sales by 3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  However, the U.S. dollar exchange rate remained weaker against the Euro for the first six months of 2010 compared to 2009.  Changes in exchange rates positively impacted sales and accounted for approximately 2% of the sales increase for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Sales from acquisitions were immaterial for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The remaining 22% and 16% of sales increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, were due primarily to higher product and custom tooling sales to our customers.

For further discussion on net sales by reporting segment, please refer to the segment analysis of net sales and operating income on the following pages.

COST OF SALES (EXCLUSIVE OF DEPRECIATION SHOWN BELOW)

 

Our cost of sales as a percent of net sales increased slightly to 66.0% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 65.6% in the same period a year ago.

 

The following factors reduced our cost of sales percentage in the second quarter of 2010:

 

Improved Utilization of Overhead Costs in Certain Operations.  Several of our business operations, especially within the Beauty & Home and Closures business segments, saw an increase in unit volumes produced and sold.  As a result of these higher production levels, overhead costs were better utilized, thus positively impacting cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales.

 

Strengthening of the U.S. Dollar.  We are a net importer from Europe into the U.S. of products produced in Europe with costs denominated in Euros.  As a result, when the U.S. dollar or other currencies strengthen against the Euro, products produced in Europe (with costs denominated in Euros) and sold in currencies that are stronger compared to the Euro, have a positive impact on cost of sales as a percentage of net sales.

 

15



Table of Contents

 

The following factors increased our cost of sales percentage in the second quarter of 2010:

 

Increasing Raw Material Costs.  Raw material costs, in particular plastic resin in the U.S., increased in the second quarter of 2010 over 2009.  While the majority of these cost increases are passed along to our customers in our selling prices, we experienced the usual lag in the timing of passing on these cost increases.

 

Mix of Products Sold.  Compared to the prior year, our Pharma segment sales represented a smaller percentage of our overall sales. This negatively impacts our cost of sales percentage as margins on our pharmaceutical products typically are higher than the overall company average.

 

Our cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased to 65.8% in the first half of 2010 compared to 66.3% in the first half of 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to the same factors mentioned above, except that the U.S. Dollar was weaker relative to the Euro in the first six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of 2009.

 

SELLING, RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE

 

Our Selling, Research & Development and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $71.2 million compared to $69.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.  On a constant currency basis, the increase would have been approximately $3.6 million in the quarter.  The majority of the increase is due to general compensation increases. However, SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 13.6% compared to 15.7% of net sales in the same period of the prior year as a result of leveraging costs compared to the increased sales.

SG&A increased by approximately $9.3 million in the first half of 2010 compared to the same period a year ago.  Changes in currency rates accounted for approximately $2.1 million of the increase in SG&A in the first half of 2010.  The increase is due primarily to the reason mentioned above as well as higher stock option expense in the first half of 2010 versus the prior year.  As noted above, SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased primarily due to higher sales volumes.  For the first half of 2010, the percentage decreased to 14.6% compared to 16.1% of net sales in the first half of 2009.

 

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

 

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $32.5 million compared to $31.4 million in the second quarter of 2009.  On a constant currency basis, the increase would have been approximately $2.2 million in the quarter.  The majority of this increase is related to the roll-out of our global enterprise resource planning system, which was placed into service during the third quarter of 2009.  Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales decreased to 6.2% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 7.1% for the same period a year ago due to the increase in sales.

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $5.0 million in the first half of 2010 to $66.5 million compared to $61.5 million in the first half of 2009.  Changes in foreign currency rates accounted for $0.3 million of the net increase in depreciation and amortization in the first half of 2010.  Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales decreased to 6.4% compared to 7.1% for the same period a year ago due to the increase in sales.

 

FACILITIES CONSOLIDATION AND SEVERANCE

 

Facilities consolidation and severance was $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2009.  The amount represents the recognition of expenses related to the Company’s previously announced plan to consolidate several facilities and reduce headcount.  The amount reported for the first half of 2009 is also $3.1 million since the program was initiated during the second quarter of 2009.  There were no corresponding expenses in 2010.

 

OPERATING INCOME

 

Operating income increased approximately $26.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $74.1 million compared to $48.0 million in the same period in the prior year.  Strong increases in sales volumes at each segment and improved capacity utilization in our Beauty & Home and Closures segments contributed to the rise in operating income.  This, combined with our cost containment efforts and the absence of facilities consolidation and severance program charges recorded in the prior year, led to the improvement in operating income.  Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to 14.2% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 10.9% for the same period in the prior year.

Operating income increased approximately $47.2 million in the first half of 2010 to $135.7 million compared to $88.5 million in the same period in the prior year.  The increase is primarily due to the same reasons mentioned above for the second quarter results. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 13.2% in the first half of 2010 compared to 10.2% for the same period in the prior year.

 

NET OTHER EXPENSE

 

Net other expenses in the second quarter of 2010 decreased to $4.3 million from $5.6 million in the same period in the prior year. Interest expense decreased by $1.5 million due to lower interest rates paid on borrowings.  Also, interest income decreased by $0.2 million due to lower interest rates earned on our investments.

Net other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased slightly to $8.0 million from $7.8 million in the same period in the prior year due primarily to higher foreign currency losses along with a decrease in interest income due to lower interest rates earned on our investments.

 

EFFECTIVE TAX RATE

 

The reported effective tax rate increased to 33.0% and 32.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 32.9% and 31.8% for the same periods ended June 30, 2009.  The increase is mainly related to higher taxes in France and a higher dividend repatriation amount planned in the first half of 2010 compared to 2009.

(1)   The Company evaluates performance of its business units and allocates resources based upon segment income.  Segment income is defined as earnings before interest expense in excess of interest income, stock option and certain corporate expenses, income taxes and unusual items.  For a reconciliation of segment income to income before income taxes, see Note 9 – Segment information to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.

 

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased 23% to $263.7 million compared to $213.9 million in the second quarter of the prior year.  The strengthening U.S. dollar compared to the Euro negatively impacted sales by approximately 3%.  Therefore, core product sales, excluding foreign currency changes, increased 26%.  General market improvement as well as the lack of inventory destocking that we experienced in 2009 led to this increase.  Sales, excluding foreign currency changes, to the fragrance/cosmetics and personal care markets increased approximately 30% and 23% respectively in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net sales increased 24% in the first six months of 2010 to $527.2 million compared to $425.6 million in the first six months of the prior year.  The weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro positively impacted sales and represented approximately 2% of the 24% increase in sales.  Sales of our products, excluding foreign currency changes, to the fragrance/cosmetic and personal care markets increased approximately 22% and 24%, respectively, in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 primarily due to the reasons noted above.

Segment income in the second quarter of 2010 increased approximately 171% to $30.2 million compared to $11.1 million reported in the same period in the prior year.  Profitability increased primarily due to higher capacity utilization and leveraging of our cost structure from increased unit volumes and cost containment efforts.

Segment income in the first six months of 2010 increased approximately 160% to $57.1 million compared to $22.0 million reported in the same period in the prior year.  The increase in segment income in the first half of 2010 was primarily due to the reasons mentioned above for the second quarter results.

 

CLOSURES SEGMENT

 

The Closures segment designs and manufactures primarily dispensing closures.  These products are generally sold to the personal care, household and food/beverage markets.

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased approximately 19% to $147.1 million compared to $123.1 million in the second quarter of the prior year.  The strengthening U.S. dollar compared to the Euro negatively impacted sales by approximately 1%. Therefore, core product sales, excluding foreign currency rate changes, increased 20%.  Product sales, excluding foreign currency changes, to the personal care and household markets increased approximately 22% and 56%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year.  Sales to the food/beverage market increased 10%.  These increases are primarily due to strong demand across all regions and markets and a lack of customer destocking that we experienced in the second quarter of the prior year in the personal household markets.  The pass through of resin price increases account for approximately 7% of the sales increase.

Net sales for the first six months of 2010 increased approximately 17% to $281.8 million compared to $240.3 million in the first six months of the prior year.  The weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro positively impacted sales and represented approximately 2% of the 17% increase in sales.  Sales, excluding foreign currency changes, to the personal care and household markets increased approximately 16% and 25%, respectively, in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the reasons discussed above.  Sales to the food/beverage market increased 9%.

Segment income increased in the second quarter of 2010 by approximately 41% to $19.4 million compared to $13.7 million reported in the prior year.  Included in the second quarter 2009 results are $2.8 million of consolidation/severance costs.  The remaining increase in segment income is primarily due to strong sales volumes and product mix, especially in the North American region.

Segment income in the first six months of 2010 increased approximately 44% to $36.5 million compared to $25.4 million reported in the same period of the prior year.  As noted above, the 2009 results included $2.8 million of consolidation/severance costs.  The remaining increase in segment income is due primarily to the same reasons mentioned above for the second quarter results.

Net sales for the Pharma segment increased by 8% in the second quarter of 2010 to $112.1 million compared to $103.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year.  The strengthening U.S. dollar compared to the Euro negatively impacted sales by approximately 5%.  Therefore, core product sales, excluding changes in foreign currency rates, increased 13%.  The increase was primarily due to strong sales of metered dose valves.

Net sales for the Pharma segment improved by 6% in the first six months of 2010 to $219.4 million compared to $206.4 million in the first six months of the prior year.  Changes in foreign currency rates did not impact the sales growth for the first half of 2010.  The increase was mainly due to higher metered dose valve sales.

Segment income in the second quarter of 2010 increased approximately 2% to $32.0 million compared to $31.3 million reported in the same period in the prior year.  Segment income in the first six months of 2010 increased approximately 2% to $61.6 million compared to $60.5 million reported in the same period in the prior year.  This increase is mainly attributed to the increase in sales.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY

 

A significant number of our operations are located outside of the United States.  Because of this, movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on the translation of the financial statements of our foreign entities.  Our primary foreign exchange exposure is to the Euro, but we have foreign exchange exposure to the British Pound, South American and Asian currencies, among others.  We manage our exposures to foreign exchange principally with forward exchange contracts to hedge certain transactions and firm purchase and sales commitments denominated in foreign currencies.  A strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutive translation effect on our financial statements.  Conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar has an additive effect.  In some cases, we sell products denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs are incurred.  Changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales could materially impact our results of operations.

 

QUARTERLY TRENDS

 

Our results of operations in the second half of the year typically are negatively impacted by customer plant shutdowns in the summer months in Europe and plant shutdowns in December.  In the future, our results of operations in a quarterly period could be impacted by factors such as changes in product mix, changes in material costs, changes in growth rates in the industries to which our products are sold, recognition of equity based compensation expense for retirement eligible employees in the period of grant and changes in general economic conditions in any of the countries in which we do business.

We generally incur increased stock option expense in the first quarter compared with the rest of the fiscal year.  Our estimated stock option expense on a pre-tax basis (in $ millions) for the year 2010 compared to the prior year is as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and our revolving credit facility.  Cash and equivalents decreased to $247.3 million at June 30, 2010 from $333.0 million at December 31, 2009.  Total short and long-term interest bearing debt decreased in the first six months of 2010 to $292 million from $338.0 million at December 31, 2009.  The primary reason for the decrease in both cash and short term debt is the $80 million of current year earnings that was repatriated in the second quarter from Europe which was used to pay down short term borrowings in the U.S.  The ratio of our Net Debt (interest bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents) to Net Capital (stockholder’s equity plus Net Debt) increased at the end of June 2010 to 3.8% compared to 0.4% as of December 31, 2009.

In the first six months of 2010, our operations provided $94.8 million in cash flow compared to $139.1 million for the same period a year ago.  The decrease in cash flow from operations is primarily attributable to an increase in working capital.  During the first six months of 2010, the primary uses of operating cash flows were to finance capital expenditures and treasury stock repurchases.

We used $62.4 million in cash for investing activities during the first six months of 2010, compared to $69.2 million during the same period a year ago.  The decrease in cash used for investing activities is mainly due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $9.5 million in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009, which was partially offset by $3.0 million used for an acquisition.  Cash outlays for capital expenditures for 2010 are estimated to be approximately $140 million.

We used approximately $77.7 million in cash from financing activities in the first half of 2010 compared to $18.3 million in the first half of the prior year.  The increase in cash used in financing activities is due to an increase in stock repurchases and the repayment of notes payable in 2010 versus proceeds from notes payable in the prior year.

Our revolving credit facility and certain long-term obligations require us to satisfy certain financial and other covenants including:

 

 

 

Requirement

 

Level at June 30, 2010

Debt to total capital ratio

 

Maximum of 55%

 

20%

 

Based upon the above debt to total capital ratio covenant we had the ability to borrow approximately an additional $1.1 billion at June 30, 2010 before the 55% requirement would be exceeded.

Our foreign operations have historically met cash requirements with the use of internally generated cash or borrowings.  These foreign subsidiaries have financing arrangements with several foreign banks to fund operations located outside the U.S., but all these lines are uncommitted.  Cash generated by foreign operations has generally been reinvested locally.  The majority of our $247.3 million in cash and equivalents is located outside of the U.S.

We believe we are in a strong financial position and have the financial resources to meet business requirements in the foreseeable future.  We have historically used cash flow from operations as our primary source of liquidity.  In the event that customer demand would decrease significantly for a prolonged period of time and negatively impact cash flow from operations, we would have the ability to restrict and significantly reduce capital expenditure levels, which historically have been the most significant use of cash for us.  A prolonged and significant reduction in capital expenditure levels could increase future repairs and maintenance costs as well as have a negative impact on operating margins if we were unable to invest in new innovative products.

On July 20, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a 20% increase in the annual dividend from $0.60 per share to $0.72 per share and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share payable on August 24, 2010 to stockholders of record as of August 3, 2010.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We lease certain warehouse, plant and office facilities as well as certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through the year 2029.  Most of the operating leases contain renewal options and certain equipment leases include options to purchase during or at the end of the lease term.  Other than operating lease obligations, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidelines and clarifications for improving disclosures about fair value measurements.  This guidance requires enhanced disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis for Level 3 fair value measurements.   These new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.  As this standard is disclosure related, we do not anticipate the adoption will have a material impact on the Company.

OUTLOOK

 

We remain optimistic that the markets we serve will continue to recover from the economic downturn of 2008/2009 and that our third quarter results will improve over the prior year.  Movements in currency exchange rates are likely to result in some headwinds depending on where the rates end up in the coming quarter.  We are encouraged by an increase in project activity primarily in the food and beverage markets and we have increased our estimated capital expenditures for 2010 due to these new projects.

We anticipate diluted earnings per share for the third quarter to be in the range of $.61 to $.66 per share compared to $.48 per share in the prior year, which included approximately $.03 per share related to charges from our consolidation/severance program.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

A significant number of our operations are located outside of the United States.  Because of this, movements in exchange rates may have a material impact on the translation of the financial condition and results of operations of our entities.  Our primary foreign exchange exposure is to the Euro, but we also have foreign exchange exposure to the British Pound, South American and Asian currencies, among others.  A strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies has a dilutive translation effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  Conversely, a weakening U.S. dollar has an additive effect.

Additionally, in some cases, we sell products denominated in a currency different from the currency in which the related costs are incurred.  Any changes in exchange rates on such inter-country sales may impact our results of operations.

We manage our exposures to foreign exchange principally with forward exchange contracts to hedge certain firm purchase and sales commitments and intercompany cash transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

The table below provides information as of June 30, 2010 about our forward currency exchange contracts.  The majority of the contracts expire before the end of the third quarter of 2010 with the exception of a few contracts on intercompany loans that expire in the third quarter of 2013.

As of June 30, 2010, we have recorded the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $1.1 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $3.2 million in prepayments and other and $2.6 million in deferred and other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet.

At June 30, 2010, we had a fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal value of $5 million which requires us to pay an average variable interest rate (which was 0.7% at June 30, 2010) and receive a fixed rate of 6.6%.  The variable rate is adjusted semiannually based on London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”).  Variations in market interest rates would produce changes in our net income.  If interest rates increase by 100 basis points, net income related to the interest rate swap agreement would decrease by approximately $30 thousand assuming a tax rate of 32.0%.  As of June 30, 2010, we recorded the fair value of the fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreement of $0.3 million in miscellaneous other assets with an offsetting adjustment to debt.  No gain or loss was recorded in the income statement in 2010 as any hedge ineffectiveness for the period is immaterial.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2010.  Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that materially affected, or is reasonably like to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
