NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share and statistical data)
(Unaudited)
A. | Statement of Information Furnished |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2014 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and of its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements 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, 2013.
B. | Accounting and Reporting Developments |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted changes to the guidance on a parent’s accounting for cumulative translation adjustments upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The changes primarily clarified existing guidance regarding when cumulative translation adjustments should be released into earnings upon the occurrence of various events. The change did not impact the Company's financial statements in the first quarter.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In April 2014, the FASB issued changes to the definition of a discontinued operation to include only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The guidance, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted.

D. | Stock-Based Compensation |
A summary of restricted and deferred stock transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2014 follows:

Performance-based-shares awarded in 2011 | (196,667 | ) |
Non-vested shares outstanding at March 31, 2014 | 1,992,396 |
In January 2014, the Company awarded shares of restricted stock to certain senior executives consisting of time-vesting awards which vest ratably over three years and performance-based shares which cliff vest at the end of three years. The number of performance-based shares that will ultimately vest is based on the level of market performance achieved, ranging between 0% and 200% of the shares originally awarded, and will be settled in stock. The market performance criteria is the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), which includes share price appreciation and dividends paid, during the three-year term of the award measured against the TSR of a peer group of companies.

Crown Holdings, Inc.
The average grant-date fair value of the 2014 and 2013 restricted stock awards was $44.32 and $38.68 for time-vesting shares and $48.31 and $36.75 for performance-based shares.
The fair value of the performance-based shares awarded was calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The estimated weighted average grant-date fair value of the 174,481 performance-based shares awarded in 2014 was $48.31 using a weighted average stock price volatility of 21.5%, an expected term of three years, and a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.80%. The variables used to value the 2013 award included a weighted average stock price volatility of 22.40%, an expected term of three years, and a weighted average risk-free rate of 0.34%.
In January 2014, the performance-based shares awarded in 2011 were forfeited as the required market performance condition was not met.
At March 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding nonvested stock awards was $54. The weighted average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is 3.5 years. The aggregate market value of the shares released and issued on the vesting dates was $5.

Fair Value Measurements
Under GAAP a framework exists for measuring fair value, providing a three-tier hierarchy of pricing inputs used to report assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value. Level 1 includes inputs such as quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the report date. Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 3 includes unobservable pricing inputs that are not corroborated by market data or other objective sources. The Company has no items valued using Level 3 inputs other than certain pension plan assets.
The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company applies a market approach to value its commodity price hedge contracts. Prices from observable markets are used to develop the fair value of these financial instruments and they are reported under Level 1. The Company uses an income approach to value its foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are valued using a discounted cash flow model that calculates the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts using market information as of the reporting date, such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates, and are reported under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Crown Holdings, Inc.
Fair value disclosures for financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are provided later in this note. In addition, see Note I for fair value disclosures related to debt.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company’s objective in managing exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow. The extent to which the Company uses such instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk and using sales agreements that permit the pass-through of commodity price and foreign exchange rate risk to customers.
For derivative financial instruments accounted for in hedging relationships, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner in which effectiveness will be assessed. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the hedging relationships are effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the instruments is recognized immediately in earnings.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges. No components of the hedging instruments are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in fair value of outstanding derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, except any ineffective portion, are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction. Classification of the gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon reclassification from comprehensive income is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Contracts outstanding at March 31, 2014 mature between one and thirty months.
When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that an anticipated transaction will occur in the originally specified period, changes to fair value accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings.
The Company uses forward contracts to hedge anticipated purchases of various commodities, including aluminum, fuel oil and natural gas and these exposures are hedged by a central treasury unit.
The Company also designates certain foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated sales or purchases. The Company manages these risks at the operating unit level. Often the hedging of foreign currency risk is performed in concert with related commodity price hedges.
The following table sets forth financial information about the impact on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and earnings from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.

Crown Holdings, Inc.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized a net loss of $5 related to hedge ineffectiveness caused primarily by volatility in the metal premium component of aluminum prices. In the event that recent volatility in metal premiums continues, it is possible that the Company could record additional losses in the future that could be material.
For the twelve month period ending March 31, 2015, a net loss of $21 ($19, net of tax) is expected to be reclassified to earnings. No amounts were reclassified during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 in connection with anticipated transactions that were no longer considered probable.
Fair Value Hedges and Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as fair value hedges of recognized foreign-denominated assets and liabilities, generally trade accounts receivable and payable and unrecognized firm commitments. The notional values and maturity dates of the derivative instruments coincide with those of the hedged items. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments, excluding time value, are offset by changes in fair value of the related hedged items.
Other than for firm commitments, amounts related to time value are excluded from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness and are reported in earnings. Less than $1 was reported in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Certain derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts related to intercompany debt, were not designated in hedge relationships; however, they are effective economic hedges as the changes in their fair value, except for time value, are offset by changes in re-measurement of the related hedged items. The Company’s primary use of these derivative instruments is to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in earnings as foreign exchange adjustments.
The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges was a loss of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a gain of $3 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedges was a loss of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a loss of $3 for the same period in 2013. These adjustments were reported within foreign exchange in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were offset by changes in the fair values of the related hedged item.

The following table sets forth the fair value hierarchy for the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Crown Holdings, Inc.
H. | Restructuring and Other |
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $52 including $42 of impairment charges related to the planned divestment of certain operations in connection with the acquisition of Mivisa, $8 of other charges including strip and clean costs associated with prior restructuring actions and incremental costs associated with the temporary relocation of production due to an ongoing labor dispute in the Company's Americas Beverage segment and $2 of transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Mivisa.
As a condition for approval of the Company's acquisition of Mivisa by the European Commission, the Company entered into agreements to divest certain operations. The Company expects the sales to close in 2014. The underlying assets and liabilities of the operations to be divested are presented as held for sale in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and their carrying value has been written down to fair value less costs to sell.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $4 related to other exit costs associated with prior restructuring actions.
The tables below summarize the outstanding accrual balances associated with prior restructuring actions.
2011 European Division Headquarters Relocation
Through March 31, 2014, the Company incurred costs of $40 which are expected to be the total costs related to the relocation of its European Division headquarters and management to Switzerland in order to benefit from a more centralized management location.
The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual balances and utilization by cost type for the relocation:

Other exit costs represent the estimated employee compensation costs resulting from an intercompany payment related to the relocation. The Company expects to pay these costs in 2014 and 2015.
2011 and 2012 European Division Actions
Through March 31, 2014, the Company incurred costs of $68 in connection with actions taken in 2011 and 2012 to reduce manufacturing capacity and headcount in its European Aerosol and Specialty Packaging businesses. These actions combined are expected to reduce headcount by approximately 474 and to eliminate approximately 20% of the businesses' capacity. Due to the similar nature of these actions, they have been combined in the rollforward presented below. The Company currently expects to incur future additional costs of $2 related to the actions which are expected to be completed in 2014 at an estimated aggregate cost of $70. The Company expects to pay the liability through 2024 as certain employees have elected to receive payout as a fixed monthly sum over 11 years. The Company continues to review its supply and demand profile and long-term plans in Europe and it is possible that the Company may record additional restructuring charges in the future.

Crown Holdings, Inc.
J. | Asbestos-Related Liabilities |
Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. (“Crown Cork”) is one of many defendants in a substantial number of lawsuits filed throughout the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These claims arose from the insulation operations of a U.S. company, the majority of whose stock Crown Cork purchased in 1963. Approximately ninety days after the stock purchase, this U.S. company sold its insulation assets and was later merged into Crown Cork.
Prior to 1998, amounts paid to asbestos claimants were covered by a fund made available to Crown Cork under a 1985 settlement with carriers insuring Crown Cork through 1976, when Crown Cork became self-insured. The fund was depleted in 1998 and the Company has no remaining coverage for asbestos-related costs.
In recent years, the states of Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming enacted legislation that limits asbestos-related liabilities under state law of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The legislation, which applies to future and, with the exception of Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming, pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the fair market value of the predecessor's total gross assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total value of its predecessor's assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has integrated the legislation into its claims defense strategy. The Company cautions, however, that the legislation may be challenged and there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate effect of the legislation on Crown Cork.
In June 2003, the state of Texas enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities in Texas courts of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The Texas legislation, which applies to future claims and pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the total gross value of the predecessor’s assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total adjusted value of its predecessor’s assets.
On October 22, 2010, the Texas Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision, reversed a lower court decision, Barbara Robinson v. Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., No. 14-04-00658-CV, Fourteenth Court of Appeals, Texas, which had upheld the dismissal of an asbestos-related case against Crown Cork. The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas legislation was unconstitutional under the Texas Constitution when applied to asbestos-related claims pending against Crown Cork when the legislation was enacted in June 2003. The Company believes that the decision of the Texas Supreme Court is limited to retroactive application of the Texas legislation to asbestos-related cases that were pending against Crown Cork in Texas on June 11, 2003 and therefore, in its accrual, continues to assign no value to claims filed after June 11, 2003.
In December 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities of Pennsylvania corporations that are successors by corporate merger to companies involved with asbestos. The legislation limits the successor’s liability for asbestos to the acquired company’s asset value adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the acquired company’s adjusted asset value. In November 2004, the legislation was amended to address a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision (Ieropoli v. AC&S Corporation, et. al., No. 117 EM 2002) which held that the statute violated the Pennsylvania Constitution due to retroactive application. The Company cautions that the limitations of the statute, as amended, are subject to litigation and may not be upheld.
The Company further cautions that an adverse ruling in any litigation relating to the constitutionality or applicability to Crown Cork of one or more statutes that limits the asbestos-related liability of alleged defendants like Crown Cork could have a material impact on the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid $7 to settle outstanding claims and had claims activity as follows:
Beginning claims | 53,000 | |
New claims | 1,000 | |
Settlements or dismissals | (1,000 | ) |
Ending claims | 53,000 |
15
Crown Holdings, Inc.
In the fourth quarter of each year, the Company performs an analysis of outstanding claims and categorizes by year of exposure and state filed. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's outstanding claims were:
2013 | ||
Claimants alleging first exposure after 1964 | 16,000 | |
Claimants alleging first exposure before or during 1964 filed in: | ||
Texas | 13,000 | |
Pennsylvania | 2,000 | |
Other states that have enacted asbestos legislation | 6,000 | |
Other states | 16,000 | |
Total claims outstanding | 53,000 |
The outstanding claims in each period exclude approximately 19,000 inactive claims. Due to the passage of time, the Company considers it unlikely that the plaintiffs in these cases will pursue further action against the Company. The exclusion of these inactive claims had no effect on the calculation of the Company’s accrual as the claims were filed in states, as described above, where the Company’s liability is limited by statute.
With respect to claimants alleging first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlements in states where the Company’s liability is limited by statute except for certain pending claims in Texas as described earlier.
With respect to post-1964 claims, regardless of the existence of asbestos legislation, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlement of these claims because of increased difficulty of establishing identification of relevant insulation products as the cause of injury. Given our settlement experience with post-1964 claims, we do not believe that an adverse ruling in the Texas or Pennsylvania asbestos litigation cases, or in any other state that has enacted asbestos legislation, would have a material impact on the Company with respect to such claims.
As of December 31, the percentage of outstanding claims related to claimants alleging serious diseases (primarily mesothelioma and other malignancies) were as follows:
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||
Total claims | 21 | % | 19 | % | 18 | % | ||
Pre-1964 claims in states without asbestos legislation | 39 | % | 36 | % | 33 | % |
Crown Cork has entered into arrangements with plaintiffs’ counsel in certain jurisdictions with respect to claims which are not yet filed, or asserted, against it. However, Crown Cork expects claims under these arrangements to be filed or asserted against Crown Cork in the future. The projected value of these claims is included in the Company’s estimated liability as of March 31, 2014.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s accrual for pending and future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was $250, including $211 for unasserted claims. The Company’s accrual includes estimated probable costs for claims through the year 2023. The Company’s accrual excludes potential costs for claims beyond 2023 because the Company believes that the key assumptions underlying its accrual are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens.
It is reasonably possible that the actual loss could be in excess of the Company’s accrual. The Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss in excess of its accrual due to uncertainty in the following assumptions that underlie the Company’s accrual and the possibility of losses in excess of such accrual: the amount of damages sought by the claimant (which was not specified for approximately 87% of the claims outstanding at the end of 2013), the Company and claimant’s willingness to negotiate a settlement, the terms of settlements of other defendants with asbestos-related liabilities, the bankruptcy filings of other defendants (which may result in additional claims and higher settlements for non-bankrupt defendants), the nature of pending and future claims (including the seriousness of alleged disease, whether claimants allege first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964 and the claimant’s ability to demonstrate the alleged link to Crown Cork), the volatility of the litigation environment, the defense strategies available to the Company, the level of future claims, the rate of receipt of claims, the jurisdiction in which claims are filed, and the effect of state asbestos legislation (including the validity and applicability of the Pennsylvania legislation to non-Pennsylvania jurisdictions, where the substantial majority of the Company’s asbestos cases are filed).

Crown Holdings, Inc.
K. | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities |
The Company, along with others in most cases, has been identified by the EPA or a comparable state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at a number of sites and has recorded aggregate accruals of $6 for its share of estimated future remediation costs at these sites. The Company has been identified as having either directly or indirectly disposed of commercial or industrial waste at the sites subject to the accrual, and where appropriate and supported by available information, generally has agreed to be responsible for a percentage of future remediation costs based on an estimated volume of materials disposed in proportion to the total materials disposed at each site. The Company has not had monetary sanctions imposed nor has the Company been notified of any potential monetary sanctions at any of the sites.
The Company has also recorded aggregate accruals of $7 for remediation activities at various worldwide locations that are owned by the Company and for which the Company is not a member of a PRP group. The Company has a receivable of $3 for the recovery of certain of these costs from a third party. Although the Company believes its accruals are adequate to cover its portion of future remediation costs, there can be no assurance that the ultimate payments will not exceed the amount of the Company’s accruals and will not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position and cash flow. Any possible loss or range of potential loss that may be incurred in excess of the recorded accruals cannot be estimated.
The Company's Italian subsidiaries received assessments for value added taxes and related income taxes from the Italian tax authorities resulting from certain third party suppliers' failures to remit required value added tax payments due by those suppliers under Italian law with respect to purchases for resale to the Company. In 2013, the Company entered into a formal agreement with the Italian tax authorities to settle these matters.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to various other lawsuits and claims with respect to labor, environmental, securities, vendor and other matters arising out of the Company’s normal course of business. While the impact on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists, management believes that the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flow.
The Company has various commitments to purchase materials, supplies and utilities as part of the ordinary course of business. The Company’s basic raw materials for its products are steel and aluminum, both of which are purchased from multiple sources. The Company is subject to fluctuations in the cost of these raw materials and has periodically adjusted its selling prices to reflect these movements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to fully recover any increases or fluctuations in raw material costs from its customers. The Company also has commitments for standby letters of credit and for purchases of capital assets.
At March 31, 2014, the Company was party to certain indemnification agreements covering environmental remediation, lease payments and other potential costs associated with properties sold or businesses divested. For agreements with defined liability limits the maximum potential amount of future liability was $7. The Company accrues for costs related to these items when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2014, the Company also had guarantees of $38 related to the residual values of leased assets.

Crown Holdings, Inc.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, the Company's effective income tax rate was higher primarily due to non-deductible impairment charges related to the planned divestment of certain operations in connection with the Company's acquisition of Mivisa.
O. | Segment Information |
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment income. Segment income, which is not a defined term under GAAP, is defined by the Company as gross profit excluding the timing impact of hedge ineffectiveness less selling and administrative expenses. Segment income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(dollars in millions)
Introduction
The following discussion presents management's analysis of the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013 and changes in financial condition and liquidity from December 31, 2013. This discussion 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, 2013, along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in and referred to within this report.
Business Strategy and Trends
The Company's strategy is to grow its businesses in targeted international growth markets, while improving operations and results in more mature markets through disciplined pricing, cost control and careful capital allocation.
The Company identifies and evaluates growth opportunities through line additions in existing plants, new plants in developing markets that it already knows and understands, and potential strategic acquisitions in geographic areas and product lines in which it already operates. The Company rigorously evaluates each opportunity against a variety of metrics including economic profit, return on invested capital and cash flow generation. Every approved project is undertaken with an eye toward creating long-term shareholder value. Cash flows generated from the Company's operations may be reinvested in the business, used for acquisitions, used to repay debt or returned to shareholders through share repurchases or possible future dividends. In 2014, the Company does not anticipate any share repurchases.
In April 2014, the Company closed its acquisition of Mivisa Envases, SAU, a leading Spanish manufacturer of two- and three-piece food cans and ends. Mivisa is the largest food can producer in both the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco; primarily serving vegetable, fruit, fish and meat markets. In connection with the acquisition, the Company will divest certain Crown and Mivisa operations as a required condition for regulatory approval. The acquisition will significantly build upon the Company's existing position in the strategically important European food can segment and is expected to be earnings accretive.
Over the past five years, the Company has continued to develop its beverage can platform in emerging markets with particular focus on Asia, Brazil and Eastern Europe. In 2013, the Company added capacity in Cambodia, China, Malaysia and Vietnam and in April 2014, commenced production at its new facility in Teresina, Brazil. Beverage can volume growth in these markets has been driven by increased per capita incomes and consumption, combined with an increased preference for cans in the package mix.
Beverage can sales unit volumes in the Company's mature markets have been stable to slightly declining in North America and slightly increasing in Europe. Global food and aerosol can sales unit volumes have been stable to declining in recent years primarily due to lower consumer spending. While the opportunity for organic volume growth in the Company's mature markets is not comparable to that in targeted international growth markets, the Company continues to generate strong returns on invested capital and significant cash flow from these businesses. The Company monitors capacity across all of its businesses and, where necessary, may take action such as closing a plant or reducing headcount to better manage its costs. Any or all of these actions may result in additional restructuring charges in the future which may be material.
As part of the Company's efforts to manage cost, it attempts to pass-through increases in the cost of aluminum and steel to its customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover from its customers the impact of any such increased costs. Aluminum and steel prices can be subject to significant volatility and there has not been a consistent and predictable trend in pricing.
In assessing the Company's performance, the key performance measure used is segment income, a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company as gross profit excluding the timing impact of hedge ineffectiveness, less selling and administrative expenses.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Results of Operations
The foreign currency translation impacts referred to below were primarily due to changes in the euro and pound sterling in the Company's European businesses, the Canadian dollar in the Company's Americas segments and the Chinese renminbi and Thai baht in the Company's Asia Pacific segment.
Net Sales and Segment Income
Three Months Ended | |||||||
March 31 | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||
Net sales | $ | 1,993 | $ | 1,973 | |||
Beverage cans and ends as a percentage of net sales | 57 | % | 56 | % | |||
Food cans and ends as a percentage of net sales | 25 | % | 26 | % |
Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Net sales increased primarily due to a 6% increase in global beverage can volumes, partially offset by the pass-through of lower raw material costs.
Discussion and analysis of net sales and segment income by segment follows.
Americas Beverage
The Americas Beverage segment manufactures aluminum beverage cans and ends and steel crowns and supplies a variety of customers from its operations in the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Colombia and Mexico. The U.S. and Canadian beverage can markets are mature markets which have experienced slightly declining volumes in recent years. In Brazil, the Company's sales unit volumes have increased in recent years primarily due to market growth. In April, 2014, the Company commenced production at its new facility in Teresina, Brazil.
Net sales and segment income in the Americas Beverage segment are as follows:
Three Months Ended | |||||||
March 31 | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||
Net sales | $ | 549 | $ | 552 | |||
Segment income | 79 | 76 |
Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Net sales decreased primarily due to $10 from the pass-through of lower aluminum costs and $9 from the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by $16 from increased sales unit volumes and favorable product mix. The increase in sales unit volumes was primarily in Brazil where demand continues to be strong.
Segment income increased primarily due to higher sales unit volumes.
North America Food
The North America Food segment manufactures steel and aluminum food cans and ends and metal vacuum closures and supplies a variety of customers from its operations in the U.S. and Canada. The North American food can and closures market is a mature market which has experienced stable to slightly declining volumes in recent years.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Net sales and segment income in the North America Food segment are as follows:
Three Months Ended | |||||||
March 31 | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||
Net sales | $ | 179 | $ | 197 | |||
Segment income | 29 | 31 |
Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Net sales decreased primarily due to $15 from lower sales unit volumes and $3 from the impact of foreign currency translation. The decrease in sales unit volumes was primarily attributable to the cessation of shipments to a customer who declared bankruptcy in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Segment income decreased primarily due to lower sales unit volumes.
European Beverage
The Company's European Beverage segment manufactures steel and aluminum beverage cans and ends and supplies a variety of customers from its operations throughout Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. In recent years, the European beverage can market has been growing. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company increased its ownership interests in subsidiaries in Jordan and Tunisia to 100% by purchasing the remaining noncontrolling interests.
Net sales and segment income in the European Beverage segment are as follows:
Three Months Ended | |||||||
March 31 | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||
Net sales | $ | 388 | $ | 371 | |||
Segment income | 59 | 51 |
Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Net sales increased primarily due to a 1.5% increase in sales unit volumes.
Segment income increased primarily due to higher sales unit volumes and improved cost performance.
European Food
The European Food segment manufactures steel and aluminum food cans, ends and metal vacuum closures, and supplies a variety of customers from its operations throughout Europe and Africa. The European food can market is a mature market which has experienced stable to slightly declining volumes in recent years. In April 2014, the Company closed its acquisition of Mivisa and has reached agreements to divest certain Crown and Mivisa operations as required for regulatory approval. The Company plans to integrate Mivisa with its existing European Food business.
Net sales and segment income in the European Food segment are as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Net sales decreased primarily due to $10 from unfavorable sales unit volumes and mix and $6 from lower selling prices reflecting the pass-through of lower material costs and the impact of competitive price compression, partially offset by $13 from the impact of foreign currency translation.
Segment income decreased primarily due to unfavorable sales unit volumes and mix, partially offset by improved cost performance.
Asia Pacific
The Company's Asia Pacific segment primarily consists of beverage can operations in Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam and also includes the Company's non-beverage can operations, primarily food cans and specialty packaging in China, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In recent years, the Company's beverage can businesses in Asia have experienced significant growth.
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company commercialized second beverage can lines at its facilities in Putian, China and Bangi, Malaysia. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company commercialized new beverage can plants in Danang, Vietnam and Bangkok, Thailand; and in the third quarter of 2013, the Company began production at its new plant in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
Net sales and segment income in the Asia Pacific segment are as follows:

Net sales | $ | 298 | $ | 276 | |||
Segment income | 34 | 33 |
Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Net sales increased primarily due to $40 from increased sales unit volumes due to recent capacity expansion partially offset by $13 from lower selling prices primarily due to the pass-through of lower raw material costs and the impact of competitive price compression and $5 from the impact of foreign currency translation.
Segment income increased primarily due to $6 from increased sales unit volumes partially offset by lower manufacturing efficiencies associated with recent capacity expansion and the impact of competitive price compression.
Non-reportable Segments
The Company's non-reportable segments include its aerosol can businesses in North America and Europe, its specialty packaging business in Europe and its tooling and equipment operations in the U.S. and U.K. In recent years, the Company's specialty packaging and aerosol can businesses have experienced slightly declining volumes.
Net sales and segment income in non-reportable segments are as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Net sales increased primarily due to $6 from the impact of foreign currency translation.
Segment income increased primarily due to lower operating costs resulting from recent restructuring actions.

Corporate and unallocated expense | $ | (58 | ) | $ | (50 | ) |
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, corporate and unallocated expense increased primarily due to a charge of $7 related to hedge ineffectiveness caused primarily by volatility in the metal premium component of aluminum prices.
Cost of Products Sold (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, cost of products sold (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased from $1,640 to $1,661 primarily due to increased global beverage can volumes partially offset by the pass-through of lower raw material costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, depreciation and amortization expense increased from $34 to $35 primarily due to the impact of recent capacity expansion.
Selling and Administrative Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, selling and administrative expense remained at $104.
Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a loss from early extinguishment of debt of $38 in connection with the redemption of its $400 senior notes due 2017 and the repayment of $500 of indebtedness under its senior secured term loan facilities.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, interest expense decreased from $60 to $58 primarily due to lower interest rates and lower average debt outstanding.
Taxes on Income
The Company's effective income tax rate was as follows:

Crown Holdings, Inc.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, the Company's effective income tax rate was higher primarily due to non-deductible impairment charges related to the planned divestment of certain operations in connection with the Company's acquisition of Mivisa.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased from $26 to $22 primarily due to the acquisition of additional ownership interests in subsidiaries in Jordan and Tunisia and lower earnings in certain beverage can operations in the Middle East.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash from Operations
Cash used for operating activities increased from $432 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $495 in 2014 primarily due to changes in working capital as higher cash outflows associated with receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities were partially offset by lower cash outflows associated with inventory and $21 from higher interest payments.
Receivables used cash of $157 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $118 in 2013 partly due to higher sales in March 2014 than in March 2013. Days sales outstanding for trade receivables increased from 45 days for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 46 days in 2014.
Inventories used cash of $154 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $205 in 2013. Inventory levels typically increase each month of the year until peaking in the third quarter due to seasonal build primarily in the Company's food can businesses. Cash used in 2013 was higher than in 2014 primarily due to the Company's efforts to manage lower levels of inventory at December 31, 2012 which resulted in higher cash used in 2013 for seasonal inventory build.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities used cash of $281 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $208 in 2013 primarily due to timing of supplier payments.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities increased from $52 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $73 in 2014 due to higher capital expenditures primarily related to construction of the Company's plant in Tersina, Brazil which commenced commercial operations in April 2014. The Company does not currently have any major projects under construction and expects capital expenditures for 2014 to be approximately $285 - $310.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities decreased from $439 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $147 in 2014 partly due to $93 paid in 2014 to increase the Company's ownership interest in subsidiaries in Jordan and Tunisa to 100% and $15 of higher dividends paid to the noncontrolling interest in Jordan in connection with the buyout.
Other financing activities, in each year, represent cash settlements of foreign currency derivatives used to hedge intercompany debt obligations.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2014, $220 of the Company's $267 of cash and cash equivalents was located outside the U.S. The Company is not currently aware of any legal restrictions under foreign law that materially impact its access to cash held outside the U.S.
44
Crown Holdings, Inc.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
The Company funds its cash needs in the U.S. through a combination of cash flows from operations in the U.S., distributions from certain foreign subsidiaries, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the acceleration of cash receipts under its receivable securitization facilities. The Company records current and/or deferred U.S. taxes for the earnings of these foreign subsidiaries. For certain other foreign subsidiaries, the Company considers earnings indefinitely reinvested and has not recorded any U.S. taxes. Of the cash and cash equivalents located outside the U.S., $125 was held by subsidiaries
for which earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. While based on current operating plans the Company does not foresee a need to repatriate these funds, if such earnings were repatriated the Company would be required to record any incremental U.S. taxes on the repatriated funds.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $810 of borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility, equal to the total facility of $1,200 less $350 of borrowings and $40 of outstanding standby letters of credit.
The Company's debt agreements contain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt, pay dividends or repurchase capital stock, make certain other restricted payments, create liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions. These restrictions are subject to a number of exceptions, however, which allow the Company to incur additional debt, create liens or make otherwise restricted payments. The amount of restricted payments permitted to be made, including dividends and repurchases of the Company's common stock, is generally limited to the cumulative excess of $200 plus 50% of adjusted net income plus proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options over the aggregate of restricted payments made since July 2004. Adjustments to net income may include, but are not limited to, items such as asset impairments, gains and losses from asset sales and early extinguishments of debt.
Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2014, the Company has approximately $53 of capital commitments primarily related to capacity expansion in Asia and Brazil. The Company expects to fund these commitments primarily through cash flows generated from operations and to fund any excess needs over available cash through external borrowings.
Contractual Obligations
During the first three months of 2014 there were no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations provided within Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Information regarding the Company's commitments and contingent liabilities appears in Part I within Item 1 of this report under Note K, entitled “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the consolidated financial statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require that management make numerous estimates and assumptions.
Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, impacting the reported results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note A to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the Company's critical accounting policies during the first three months of 2014. The discussion below supplements the discussion from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 with respect to goodwill.
45
Crown Holdings, Inc.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Goodwill Impairment
As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of the Company's European Aerosols and Specialty Packaging reporting unit was 50% higher than its carrying value. The Company continues to believe that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If future operating results were to decline causing the estimated fair value to fall below its carrying value, it is possible that an impairment charge of up to $155 could be recorded.
Forward Looking Statements
Statements included herein in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” including, but not limited to, in the discussions of asbestos in Note J and commitments and contingencies in Note K to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and also in Part I, Item 1: “Business” and Item 3: “Legal Proceedings” and in Part II, Item 7: “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for capacity additions, share repurchases, dividends, future operations or economic performance, or assumptions related thereto), are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In addition, the Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make oral or written statements which are also “forward-looking statements.”
These forward-looking statements are made based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and, therefore, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Management cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
While the Company periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting the Company's results of operations and financial condition in connection with the preparation of “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and certain other sections contained in the Company's quarterly, annual or other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement in light of future events.
A discussion of important factors that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ from expectations has been set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 within Part II, Item 7: “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption “Forward Looking Statements” and is incorporated herein by reference. Some of the factors are also discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in prior Company filings with the SEC. In addition, other factors have been or may be discussed from time to time in the Company's SEC filings.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. These instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The extent to which the Company uses such instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success in using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk and using sales arrangements that permit the pass-through of commodity prices and foreign exchange rate risks to customers. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow. For further discussion of the Company's use of derivative instruments and their fair values at March 31, 2014, see Note G to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $1.1 billion principal floating interest rate debt. A change of 0.25% in these floating interest rates would change annual interest expense by approximately $2.8 million before tax.

Crown Holdings, Inc.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation and as of the end of the quarter for which this report is made, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information to be disclosed in reports that the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and terms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For information regarding the Company's potential asbestos-related liabilities and other litigation, see Note J entitled “Asbestos-Related Liabilities” and Note K entitled “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” respectively, to the consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A to Part I in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect the Company's business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The Company made no purchases of its equity securities as part of publicly announced programs during the first three months of 2014.
In December 2012, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an aggregate amount of $800 million of the Company's common stock through the end of 2014. This authorization supersedes the previous authorization. Share repurchases under the Company's programs may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market conditions. As of March 31, 2014 $507 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock may be repurchased under the program.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
