NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts
1. Management representation
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2014, the results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and previously filed fiscal 2014 Form 10-Qs. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. No subsequent events have occurred that required either adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.
2. Product warranty
In the ordinary course of business, the Company warrants its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship over various time periods. The warranty accrual as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 is immaterial to the financial position of the Company and the change in the accrual for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 is immaterial to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
3. Earnings per share
The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 375,282 and 345,779 common shares subject to equity-based awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 1,265,717 and 1,160,648 common shares subject to equity-based awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase an amount of common shares each fiscal year equal to the greater of 7.5 million shares or five percent of the shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal year. Repurchases are funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings, and the shares are initially held as treasury stock. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased 415,076 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $120.46 per share. Fiscal year-to-date, the Company repurchased 1,339,061 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $112.02 per share.

Receivables are written off to bad debt primarily when, in the judgment of the Company, the receivable is deemed to be uncollectible due to the insolvency of the debtor.
6. Business realignment charges
The Company incurred business realignment charges in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.
Business realignment charges by business segment are as follows:

Aerospace Systems | 17 | — | 44 | — |
The charges primarily consist of severance costs related to plant closures as well as general work force reductions implemented by various operating units throughout the world, with the majority of the charges relating to realignment initiatives in Europe. In addition, $1,331 of fixed asset write-downs were recognized in connection with plant closures in the Diversified Industrial Segment and are reflected in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, $1,918 of severance costs for 98 people were recognized in connection with the divestiture of the Turkey refrigeration components business and are reflected in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information. The Company believes the realignment actions will positively impact future results of operations but will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.

8. Goodwill and intangible assets
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 are as follows:
Diversified Industrial Segment | Aerospace Systems Segment | Total | |||||||||
Balance at June 30, 2013 | $ | 3,125,175 | $ | 98,340 | $ | 3,223,515 | |||||

Balance at March 31, 2014 | $ | 3,065,472 | $ | 98,703 | $ | 3,164,175 |
Acquisitions primarily represent purchase price adjustments made subsequent to the applicable acquisition dates. The Company’s previously reported results of operations and financial position would not be materially different had the goodwill adjustments recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 been reflected in the same reporting period in which the initial purchase price allocations for those acquisitions were made.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company made a decision to restructure and change the strategic direction of its Worldwide Energy Products Division (EPD). The Company calculated the fair value of EPD using assumptions reflecting the Company's updated strategic direction for this reporting unit, the results of which indicated that the carrying value of EPD exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company estimated the implied fair value of EPD's goodwill, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $140.3 million. The impairment charge is reflected in the goodwill and intangible asset impairment caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The fair value of EPD was calculated using both a discounted cash flow analysis and estimated fair market values of comparable businesses with each valuation method having equal weight. Fair value calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires several assumptions including a risk-adjusted interest rate and future sales and operating margin levels.

8. Goodwill and intangible assets, cont'd
Intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful lives. The following summarizes the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible assets:
March 31, 2014 | June 30, 2013 | ||||||||||||||
Gross Carrying Amount | Accumulated Amortization | Gross Carrying Amount | Accumulated Amortization | ||||||||||||
Patents | $ | 159,663 | $ | 84,071 | $ | 141,160 | $ | 75,175 | |||||||
Trademarks | 389,863 | 168,824 | 386,619 | 148,319 | |||||||||||
Customer lists and other | 1,474,000 | 559,664 | 1,468,243 | 482,029 | |||||||||||
Total | $ | 2,023,526 | $ | 812,559 | $ | 1,996,022 | $ | 705,523 |
Total intangible amortization expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was $89,155. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2014 through 2018 is $116,819, $111,444, $108,655, $103,886, and $100,647, respectively.
Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value. In connection with the goodwill impairment review of EPD discussed above, the Company determined that certain intangible assets of EPD, primarily trademarks and customer lists, were impaired resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $43.7 million being recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The impairment charge is reflected in the goodwill and intangible asset impairment caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The fair value of EPD's intangible assets were determined using an income approach for the individual intangible assets. Fair value calculated using an income approach is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires several assumptions including future sales and operating margins expected to be generated from the use of the individual intangible asset.

Net postretirement benefit cost | $ | 880 | $ | 1,361 | $ | 3,358 | $ | 3,698 |
10. Income taxes
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was higher than the comparable prior-year period primarily due to current period discrete tax costs related to a non-deductible goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge and the joint venture with GE Aviation. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $116,088. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $73,129. If recognized, a significant portion of the gross unrecognized tax benefits would be offset against an asset currently recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, is $5,896.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is no longer subject to examinations of its federal income tax returns by the United States Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years through 2010. All significant state, local and foreign tax returns have been examined for fiscal years through 2003. The Company does not anticipate that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of examinations and the expiration of statute of limitations within the next twelve months.
11. Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term investments, and accounts receivable as well as obligations under accounts payable, trade, notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, trade and notes payable approximate fair value. The carrying value of long-term debt (excluding capital leases) and estimated fair value of long-term debt (excluding capital leases) are as follows:
March 31, 2014 | June 30, 2013 | |||||||
Carrying value of long-term debt (excluding capital leases) | $ | 1,509,339 | $ | 1,498,025 | ||||
Estimated fair value of long-term debt (excluding capital leases) | 1,695,348 | 1,654,886 |
The fair value of long-term debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
The Company utilizes derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

11. Financial instruments, cont'd
The Company’s Euro bonds and Japanese Yen credit facility have each been designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The translation of the Euro bonds and Japanese Yen credit facility into U.S. dollars is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Derivatives consist of forward exchange, costless collar and cross-currency swap contracts, the fair value of which is calculated using market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies. The fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts is calculated using a present value cash flow model that has been adjusted to reflect the credit risk of either the Company or the counterparty.
The following summarizes the location and fair value of derivative financial instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013:
Balance Sheet Caption | March 31, 2014 | June 30, 2013 | ||||||||
Cross-currency swap contracts | Other liabilities | $ | 44,907 | $ | 22,438 | |||||
Cash flow hedges | ||||||||||
Costless collar contracts | Accounts receivable, net | 6,085 | 1,422 | |||||||
Forward exchange contracts | Accounts receivable, net | (143 | ) | 41 | ||||||
Costless collar contracts | Other accrued liabilities | 285 | 953 |
The cross-currency swap and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The presentation of forward contracts is on a net basis, the effect of which is immaterial to the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not entered into any master netting arrangements.
The fair values at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There are no other financial assets or financial liabilities that are marked to market on a recurring basis. Fair values are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy when facts and circumstances indicate that a change in the method of estimating the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability is warranted.
Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the cost of sales caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
The cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. The costless collar contracts and forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.
Gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments that were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income are as follows:
Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||
March 31, | March 31, | ||||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||||

There was no ineffectiveness of the cross-currency swap contracts or foreign denominated debt, nor was any portion of these financial instruments excluded from the effectiveness testing, during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
12. Deconsolidation of subsidiary and divestitures
Deconsolidation of subsidiary - During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, the Company and GE Aviation, a non-related party, finalized a joint venture in which the Company sold a 50 percent equity interest in one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The sale of the 50 percent equity interest in the wholly-owned subsidiary resulted in a loss of control of the subsidiary, and therefore it was deconsolidated from the Company's financial statements during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company will account for its equity interest in the joint venture with GE Aviation using the equity method of accounting.
The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $413 million on the deconsolidation, measured as the fair value of the consideration received for the 50 percent equity interest in the former subsidiary and the fair value of the retained investment less the carrying amount of the former subsidiary's net assets. Approximately $186 million of the pre-tax gain is attributable to the remeasurement of the retained investment in the former subsidiary to its current fair value. The gain is reflected in the other (income), net caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.
The fair value of the retained investment in the joint venture with GE Aviation was determined using both a market and income approach. Cash consideration paid was the primary input used for the market approach. The fair value calculated using an income approach required several assumptions including future projected cash flows discounted using a rate approximating the cost of capital of the joint venture and is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Divestitures - During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, the Company divested the automotive businesses of the Mobile Climate Systems division and its Turkey refrigeration components business. Under the segment structure effective July 1, 2013, both of these businesses would have been part of the Diversified Industrial Segment. The Company recorded a net pre-tax gain in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 of $17 million related to the divestitures. The gain is reflected in the other (income), net caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
FORM 10-Q
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014
AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013
OVERVIEW
The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.
The Company’s order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders. The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a strong correlation to the Company’s future order rates are as follows:
• | Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to most mobile and industrial markets; |
• | Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and Department of Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and |
• | Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market and certain mobile construction markets. |
A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region of the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 indicates the opposite. Recent PMI levels for some regions around the world were as follows:
March 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | June 30, 2013 | ||||||
United States | 53.7 | 57.0 | 50.9 | |||||
Eurozone countries | 53.0 | 52.7 | 48.8 | |||||
China | 48.0 | 50.5 | 48.2 |
Global aircraft miles flown have increased approximately six percent from the comparable fiscal 2013 level and global revenue passenger miles have increased approximately seven percent from the comparable fiscal 2013 level. The Company anticipates that U.S. Department of Defense spending with regard to appropriations and operations and maintenance for the U.S. Government’s fiscal year 2014 will be approximately one percent higher than the comparable fiscal 2013 level.
Housing starts in March 2014 were approximately six percent lower than housing starts in March 2013 and were approximately 13 percent higher than housing starts in June 2013.
The Company remains focused on maintaining its financial strength by adjusting its cost structure to reflect changing demand levels, maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing its cash. The Company has been able to borrow funds at affordable interest rates and had a debt to debt-shareholders’ equity ratio of 28.6 percent at March 31, 2014 compared to 30.2 percent at December 31, 2013 and 33.0 percent at June 30, 2013. Net of cash and cash equivalents, the debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 7.1 percent at March 31, 2014 compared to 8.5 percent at December 31, 2013 and 15.4 percent at June 30, 2013.
The Company believes many opportunities for profitable growth are available. The Company intends to focus primarily on business opportunities in the areas of energy, water, food, environment, defense, life sciences, infrastructure and transportation.
- 16 -
The Company believes it can meet its strategic objectives by:
• | Serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company; |
• | Successfully executing its Win Strategy initiatives relating to premier customer service, financial performance and profitable growth; |
• | Maintaining its decentralized division and sales company structure; |
• | Fostering an entrepreneurial culture; |
• | Engineering innovative systems and products to provide superior customer value through improved service, efficiency and productivity; |
• | Delivering products, systems and services that have demonstrable savings to customers and are priced by the value they deliver; |
• | Acquiring strategic businesses; |
• | Organizing around targeted regions, technologies and markets; |
• | Driving efficiency by implementing lean enterprise principles; and |
• | Creating a culture of empowerment through its values, inclusion and diversity, accountability and teamwork. |
Acquisitions will be considered from time to time to the extent there is a strong strategic fit while at the same time, maintaining the Company’s strong financial position. In addition, the Company will continue to assess its existing businesses and initiate efforts to divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term strategic fit for the Company. Future business divestitures could have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the Consolidated Statement of Income, Results by Business Segment, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Net sales for the current-year quarter increased from the comparable prior-year quarter primarily due to higher volume experienced in both the Diversified Industrial North American and International businesses more than offsetting lower volume experienced in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 increased from the comparable prior-year period primarily due to higher volume in the Diversified Industrial International businesses more than offsetting lower volume experienced in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses and the Aerospace Systems Segment. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months contributed approximately $2 million and $71 million in sales in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014, respectively. The effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales by approximately $18 million in the current-year quarter and $44 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014.
- 17 -
Gross profit margin increased in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily due to higher sales volume and a favorable product mix in the Diversified Industrial Segment and lower pension costs in both the Diversified Industrial and Aerospace Systems Segments. The increase in gross profit margin was partially offset by higher business realignment charges primarily in the Diversified Industrial International businesses and an unfavorable product mix in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Pension cost included in cost of sales for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter were $45.2 million and $50.1 million, respectively, and $130.3 million and $153.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The lower pension cost in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily results from a lower amount of actuarial losses, primarily related to domestic defined benefit plans. Cost of sales for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter also included business realignment charges of $31.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively and $46.3 million and $5.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily due to higher business realignment expenses, stock compensation expense and research and development costs partially offset by lower expenses associated with the Company's various incentive compensation programs. Stock compensation expense increased primarily as result of a higher stock price used in the calculation of the fair value of the stock awards at the date of grant. Pension cost included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter was $16.5 million and $19.5 million, respectively, and $48.7 million and $59.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The lower pension cost in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily results from a lower amount of actuarial losses, primarily related to domestic defined benefit plans. Business realignment charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $28.8 million and $0.5 million for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter, respectively and $38.0 million and $1.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment relates to the Worldwide Energy Products Division. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Other (income), net for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 includes a gain of approximately $413 million related to the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Other (income), net for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 includes a net gain of approximately $17 million related to the divestiture of the automotive businesses of the Mobile Climate Systems division and the Turkey refrigeration components business. Refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Interest expense for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 decreased from the comparable prior-year periods primarily due to a lower average interest rate in the debt portfolio in the current-year, including lower average borrowing rates on commercial paper borrowings, more than offsetting the effect of higher weighted-average borrowings.
Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter was higher than the prior-year quarter primarily due to the expiration of the research and development tax credit and lower foreign tax credits, partially offset by discrete tax benefits primarily related to the finalization of the Company's fiscal 2013 U.S. tax return. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was higher than the comparable prior-year period primarily due to current period discrete tax costs related to a non-deductible goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge and the joint venture with GE Aviation. The Company expects the effective tax rate for fiscal 2014 will be approximately 34 percent.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
As of July 1, 2013, the Company consolidated its Climate & Industrial Controls businesses into existing operating groups within the Industrial Segment. As a result of this consolidation and the resulting change in management structure made in connection with the strategic divestiture of certain operations in the Climate & Industrials Control Segment, the Company now has two reporting segments: Diversified Industrial (formerly referred to as Industrial) and Aerospace Systems (formerly referred to as Aerospace). All prior period results have been revised to reflect the new reporting segment structure.

The above presentation reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Diversified Industrial Segment operations reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions made within the prior four fiscal quarters as well as the effects of currency exchange rates. The effects of acquisitions and currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage changes in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.
- 19 -
Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates, the increase in Diversified Industrial North American sales for the current-year quarter is primarily due to higher demand from distributors as well as from end-users in the construction equipment, land-based oil and gas and car and light-duty truck markets, partially offset by lower demand in the mining, machine tool, heavy-duty truck and refrigeration and air conditioning markets. Diversified Industrial North American sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were relatively flat as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as higher demand from distributors and end-users in the land-based oil and gas, construction equipment and semiconductor markets was totally offset by lower demand from end-users in the heavy-duty truck, agriculture, mining, machine tool and refrigeration and air conditioning markets. The increase in Diversified Industrial International sales for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 is primarily due to higher end-user demand experienced in all regions, with both Europe and the Asia Pacific region each accounting for approximately 40 percent of the increase in the current-year quarter and Europe accounting for approximately 45 percent and the Asia Pacific region accounting for approximately 36 percent of the increase for the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The absence of sales from divested businesses was also a contributing factor to the sales fluctuation for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 in both the Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified Industrial International businesses.
The increase in operating margins in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the effect of a favorable product mix and lower raw material prices. Operating margins for the current-year quarter also benefited from higher sales volume, resulting in manufacturing efficiencies. The decrease in operating margins in the Diversified Industrial International businesses for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to higher business realignment charges partially offset by the benefit of higher sales volume, resulting in manufacturing efficiencies, a favorable product mix and lower raw material prices.
The following business realignment expenses are included in Diversified Industrial North America and Diversified Industrial International operating income:
Three Months Ended March 31, | Nine Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||
(dollars in thousands) | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||||
Diversified Industrial North America | $ | 100 | $ | 672 | $ | 1,751 | $ | 1,135 | ||||||||
Diversified Industrial International | 59,482 | 1,279 | 81,669 | 6,321 |
The business realignment charges consist primarily of severance costs resulting from plant closures as well as general reductions in work force. The majority of the Diversified Industrial International business realignment charges were incurred in Europe. The Company does not anticipate that cost savings realized from the work force reduction measures taken during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses will have a material impact on future operating income and anticipates that cost savings realized from work force reduction measures taken in the Diversified Industrial International businesses will positively impact operating income by approximately three percent in fiscal 2014 and 10 percent in fiscal 2015. The Company expects to continue to take the actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. Such actions are expected to result in approximately $30 million in additional business realignment charges in the remainder of fiscal 2014.
The increase in backlog from the prior-year quarter and the June 30, 2013 amount of $1,802.9 million was primarily due to order rates exceeding shipments in all businesses except for the Latin American businesses, with approximately 80 percent of the increase being attributable to the Diversified Industrial North American businesses. Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale. The Company anticipates Diversified Industrial North American sales for fiscal 2014 will increase by approximately two percent from the fiscal 2013 level and Diversified Industrial International sales for fiscal 2014 will increase by approximately four percent from the fiscal 2013 level. Diversified Industrial North American operating margins in fiscal 2014 are expected to be approximately 16.6 percent and Diversified Industrial International operating margins in fiscal 2014 are expected to be approximately 11.7 percent.

The decrease in net sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the absence of sales from a deconsolidated subsidiary as well as lower volume in the military original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket businesses and the commercial aftermarket business partially offset by higher volume in the commercial OEM business. The lower margins in the current-year quarter were primarily due to an unfavorable product mix, partially offset by lower engineering development costs. The lower margins for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were primarily due to an unfavorable product mix, higher product support costs and the impact of the joint venture with GE Aviation.
The decrease in backlog from the prior-year quarter was primarily due to the absence of the backlog of a deconsolidated subsidiary as well as shipments exceeding order rates in the commercial aftermarket business and military OEM and aftermarket businesses, partially offset by order rates exceeding shipments in the commercial OEM business. The decrease in backlog from the June 30, 2013 amount of $1,936.2 million was primarily due to the absence of backlog from the deconsolidated subsidiary as well as shipments exceeding order rates in the commercial aftermarket business. The decrease in backlog was partially offset by order rates exceeding shipments in the commercial OEM business and military OEM and aftermarket businesses. Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale. For fiscal 2014, sales are expected to increase by approximately three percent from the fiscal 2013 level (excluding fiscal 2013 sales from the deconsolidated subsidiary) and operating margins are expected to be approximately 11.8 percent. A higher concentration of commercial OEM volume in future product mix and higher than expected new product development costs could result in lower margins.
Corporate general and administrative expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $38.4 million in the current-year quarter compared to $41.4 million in the comparable prior-year quarter and were $132.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to $126.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2013. As a percent of sales, corporate general and administrative expenses was 1.1 percent in the current-year quarter compared to 1.3 percent in the prior-year quarter and increased to 1.4 percent in the first nine months of 2014 from 1.3 percent in the first nine months of 2013. During the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014, the Company incurred lower compensation costs and charitable contributions and higher research and development expenses and higher professional services fees.

The increase in stock-based compensation expense in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily resulted from a higher stock price used in the calculation of the fair value of the stock awards on the date of grant. The decrease in pension expense in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily resulted from a lower amount of actuarial losses, primarily related to domestic defined benefit plans, recognized in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014. Included in divestitures and asset sales and writedowns for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 is a gain of $413 million resulting from the deconsolidation of the subsidiary related to the joint venture with GE Aviation. Included in divestiture and asset sales and writedowns for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 is a net gain of $17 million resulting from divestitures.

Cash and cash equivalents include $2,046 million and $1,655 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Generally, cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries are not readily available for use in the United States without adverse tax consequences. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash flows provided by operating activities, commercial paper borrowings or borrowings directly from its line of credit. The Company does not believe the level of its non-U.S. cash position will have an adverse effect on working capital needs, planned growth, repayment of maturing debt, benefit plan funding, dividend payments or share repurchases.
Accounts receivable, net consists primarily of receivables due from customers for sales of product ($1,860 million at March 31, 2014 and $1,841 million at June 30, 2013). Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable was 50 days at March 31, 2014 and 49 days at June 30, 2013. The Company believes that its receivables are collectible and appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts have been recorded.
- 22 -
Inventories as of March 31, 2014 increased $72 million (which includes an increase of $19 million from the effect of foreign currency translation and a decrease of $34 million related to the deconsolidation of a subsidiary) compared to June 30, 2013. A majority of the $72 million increase occurred within the Diversified Industrial Segment, with approximately 70 percent of the increase occurring in the Diversified Industrial International businesses. Days' supply of inventory was 66 days at March 31, 2014, 62 days at June 30, 2013 and 67 days at March 31, 2013.
Other assets at March 31, 2014 includes the fair value of the Company's equity investment in the joint venture with GE Aviation. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Intangible assets, net and goodwill decreased from the June 30, 2013 amounts primarily due to impairment charges of approximately $44 million and $140 million, respectively, recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Notes payable and long-term debt payable within one year as of March 31, 2014 decreased from the June 30, 2013 amount due to a $254 million decrease in commercial paper outstanding. The Company from time to time will utilize short-term intercompany loans to repay commercial paper borrowings. At times, the short-term intercompany loans are outstanding at the end of a fiscal quarter.
Shareholders’ equity activity during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 included a decrease of approximately $150 million as a result of share repurchases and an increase of approximately $179 million related to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Cash flows provided by operating activities in the current-year benefited from a $142 million increase in cash provided by working capital items, partially offset by a $130 million decrease in net income after consideration of non-cash items, including a $189 million impairment charge and a $413 million gain on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. See Note 8 and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the impairment charge and gain on deconsolidation, respectively. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 included $75 million of voluntary cash contributions made to the Company's domestic qualified defined benefit pension plan as compared to $226 million of voluntary cash contributions made in the comparable prior-year period. The Company continues to focus on managing its inventory and other working capital requirements.
Cash flows provided by investing activities increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily due to the lower level of acquisition activity and proceeds from the sale of a 50 percent equity interest in the subsidiary related to the joint venture with GE Aviation (refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).
Cash flows used in financing activities increased for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013 primarily due to a lower level of borrowings required to support acquisition activity in the current year. Cash flow used in financing activity included the repurchase of 1.3 million common shares for $150 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the repurchase of 2.5 million common shares for $206 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

The Company’s goal is to maintain no less than an “A” rating on senior debt to ensure availability and reasonable cost of external funds. As a means of achieving this objective, the Company has established a financial goal of maintaining a ratio of debt to debt-shareholders’ equity of no more than 37 percent.
(dollars in millions) Debt to Debt-Shareholders’ Equity Ratio | March 31, 2014 | June 30, 2013 | ||||||
Debt | $ | 2,587 | $ | 2,830 | ||||

At March 31, 2014, the Company had a line of credit totaling $2,000 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $922 million was available. The credit agreement expires in October 2017; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which would increase in the event the Company’s credit ratings are lowered. Although a lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would likely increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.
The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $1,850 million of short-term commercial paper notes. As of March 31, 2014, $1,078 million of commercial paper notes were outstanding and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $1,216 million.
The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. Based on the Company’s rating level at March 31, 2014 the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets be less than 10 percent. However, the Company currently does not have secured debt in its debt portfolio. The Company is in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the credit agreements and indentures.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets - Goodwill is tested for impairment, at the reporting unit level, on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. For the Company, a reporting unit is one level below the operating segment level. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective reporting unit, which the Company has consistently estimated using primarily a discounted cash flow model. The Company believes that the use of a discounted cash flow model results in the most accurate calculation of a reporting unit's fair value since the market value for a reporting unit is not readily available. The discounted cash flow analysis requires several assumptions including future sales growth and operating margin levels as well as assumptions regarding future industry specific market conditions. Each reporting unit regularly prepares discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis. The Company has consistently used a discount rate commensurate with its cost of capital, adjusted for inherent business risks, and has consistently used a terminal growth factor of 2.5 percent. The Company also reconciles the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units as derived from the discounted cash flow analysis to the Company's overall market capitalization.
- 24 -
The Company continually monitors its reporting units for impairment indicators and updates assumptions used in the most recent calculation of the fair value of a reporting unit as appropriate. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company made a decision to restructure and change the strategic direction of its Worldwide Energy Products Division (EPD). The Company calculated the fair value of EPD using assumptions reflecting the Company's current strategic direction for this reporting unit, the results of which indicated that the carrying value of EPD exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company estimated the implied fair value of EPD's goodwill, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $140.3 million. The fair value of EPD was calculated using both a discounted cash flow analysis and estimated fair market values of comparable businesses. The results of the Company's fiscal 2014 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of December 31, 2013 indicated that no additional goodwill impairment existed.
The Company is unaware of any current market trends that are contrary to the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value for the remainder of its reporting units. If actual experience is not consistent with the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value of the reporting units, especially assumptions regarding penetration into new markets and the recovery of the current economic environment, it is possible that the estimated fair value of certain reporting units could fall below their carrying value resulting in the necessity to conduct additional goodwill impairment tests.
Long-lived assets held for use, which primarily includes finite-lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition are less than their carrying value. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of their cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration technological advances known at the time of the impairment test. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, in connection with the goodwill impairment review discussed above, the Company determined certain intangible assets of EPD, primarily trademarks and customer lists, and property plant and equipment were impaired resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $48.6 million. The fair value of EPD's intangible assets and property, plant and equipment were determined using the income approach for each asset. There were no events or circumstances that indicated that the carrying value of the Company's remaining long-lived assets held for use were not recoverable.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts and cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The translation of the foreign denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company’s objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting its exposure to changes in near-term interest rates.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that 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. Parker ITR S.r.l. (Parker ITR), a subsidiary acquired on January 31, 2002, has been the subject of a number of lawsuits and regulatory investigations. The lawsuits and investigations relate to allegations that for a period of up to 21 years, the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose, typically used in oil transfer, conspired with competitors in unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States and in other jurisdictions. Parker ITR and the Company have cooperated with all of the regulatory authorities investigating the activities of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose and continue to cooperate with the investigations that remain ongoing. Several of the investigations and all of the lawsuits have concluded. The following investigations remain pending or recently have been resolved.
Brazilian competition authorities commenced their investigations on November 14, 2007. Parker ITR filed a procedural defense in January 2008. The Brazilian authorities investigated the period from 1999 through May 2007. In June 2011, the Brazilian authorities issued a report and Parker ITR filed a response to that report. On October 23, 2013, the Brazilian authorities and Parker ITR agreed to resolve this matter and on November 12, 2013, Parker ITR paid approximately 5.1 million Brazilian reais in exchange for the dismissal of all charges against Parker ITR related to the marine hose investigation in Brazil. Brazilian authorities formally closed their investigation of Parker ITR on January 22, 2014.
On May 15, 2007, the European Commission issued its initial Request for Information to the Company and Parker ITR. On January 28, 2009, the European Commission announced the results of its investigation of the alleged cartel activities. As part of its decision, the European Commission found that Parker ITR infringed Article 81 of the European Community Treaty from April 1986 to May 2, 2007 and fined Parker ITR 25.61 million euros. The European Commission also determined that the Company was jointly and severally responsible for 8.32 million euros of the total fine which related to the period from January 2002, when the Company acquired Parker ITR, to May 2, 2007, when the cartel activities ceased. Parker ITR and the Company filed an appeal to the General Court of the European Union on April 10, 2009. On May 12, 2013, the court reversed in part the decision of the European Commission, reducing the original fine of 25.61 million euros to 6.40 million euros and holding that the Company and Parker ITR are jointly and severally liable for payment of the fine up to 6.30 million euros. The European Commission has appealed the ruling of the General Court of the European Union.
