NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

        The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2013, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Shareholders' Equity for the thirty-nine week periods then ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the financial statements as of September 28, 2013 and for all periods presented.

        Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in these interim financial statements are the same as those followed in the financial statements for the year ended December 29, 2012. In 2013, the Company changed its presentation of certain intercompany utility structure sales to align with management's current reporting structure. Fiscal 2012 reporting was reclassified to conform with the 2013 presentation. Accordingly, fiscal 2012 EIP segment sales (and the associated intersegment sales elimination) for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 increased by $15,374 and $31,436, respectively. Fiscal 2012 segment sales (after intersegment sales eliminations) and operating income were unchanged from amounts previously reported. The results of operations for the period ended September 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

    Inventories

        Approximately 40% and 43% of inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market as of September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. All other inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or market. Finished goods and manufactured goods inventories include the costs of acquired raw materials and related factory labor and overhead charges required to convert raw materials to manufactured and finished goods. The excess of replacement cost of inventories over the LIFO value is approximately $43,242 and $45,822 at September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

    Pension Benefits

        The Company incurs expenses in connection with the Delta Pension Plan ("DPP"). The DPP was acquired as part of the Delta plc acquisition in fiscal 2010 and has no members that are active employees. In order to measure expense and the related benefit obligation, various assumptions are made including discount rates used to value the obligation, expected return on plan assets used to fund these expenses and estimated future inflation rates. These assumptions are based on historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances. An actuarial analysis is used to measure the expense and liability associated with pension benefits.

        The components of the net periodic pension expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 were as follows:

    Stock Plans

        The Company maintains stock-based compensation plans approved by the shareholders, which provide that the Human Resource Committee of the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-vested stock awards and bonuses of common stock. At September 28, 2013, 1,687,864 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the plans. Shares and options issued and available are subject to changes in capitalization.

        Under the plans, the exercise price of each option equals the closing market price at the date of the grant. Options vest beginning on the first anniversary of the grant in equal amounts over three to six years or on the fifth anniversary of the grant.

        Expiration of grants is from six to ten years from the date of grant. The Company's compensation expense (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) and associated income tax benefits related to stock options for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively, were as follows:

Income tax benefits

    Equity Method Investments

        The Company has equity method investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries, which are recorded within "Other assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In February 2013, the Company sold its nonconsolidated investment in Manganese Materials Company Pty. Ltd. to the majority owner of the business for approximately $29,250. The profit on the sale was not significant, which included the recognition of $5,194 in currency translation adjustments previously recorded as part of "Accumulated other comprehensive income" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company also recognized certain deferred tax benefits of approximately $3,200 associated with the sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

    Fair Value

        The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820") which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

        ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer

broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

            Level 1:    Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

            Level 2:    Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

            Level 3:    Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

        The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

        Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

        Trading Securities: The assets and liabilities recorded for the investments held in the Valmont Deferred Compensation Plan represent mutual funds, invested in debt and equity securities, classified as trading securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 320, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, considering the employee's ability to change investment allocation of their deferred compensation at any time. Quoted market prices are available for these securities in an active market and therefore categorized as a Level 1 input.

(2) ACQUISITION OF LOCKER GROUP HOLDINGS PTY. LTD.

        On February 5, 2013, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of Locker Group Holdings Pty. Ltd. (Locker). Locker is a manufacturer of perforated and expanded metal for the non-residential market, industrial flooring and handrails for the access systems market, and screening media for applications in the industrial and mining sectors in Australia and Asia. Locker's annual sales for the twelve months prior to the acquisition date were approximately $80,000 and its operations are reported in the Engineered Infrastructure Products Segment. The purchase price paid for the business at closing (net of $116 cash acquired) was $53,152. In addition, a maximum of $7,911 additional purchase price may be paid to the sellers upon the achievement of certain gross profit and inventory targets over the next two years. The Company determined the present value of the potential additional purchase price at February 5, 2013 to be $6,175. The acquisition, which was funded by cash held by the Company, was completed to expand our product offering and sales coverage for access systems and related products in Asia Pacific.

        The fair value measurement was completed at September 28, 2013. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.

(2) ACQUISITION OF LOCKER GROUP HOLDINGS PTY. LTD. (Continued)

        The Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2013 included net sales of $16,755 and $46,692, respectively, and net earnings of $836 and $1,375, respectively, resulting from Locker's operations from February 5, 2013 to September 28, 2013.

        Based on the fair value assessments, the Company allocated $11,205 of the purchase price to acquired intangible assets. The following table summarizes the major classes of Locker acquired intangible assets and the respective weighted-average amortization periods:

        The useful lives assigned to finite-lived intangible assets included consideration of factors such as the Company's past and expected experience related to customer retention rates, the remaining legal or contractual life of the underlying arrangement that resulted in the recognition of the intangible asset and the Company's expected use of the intangible asset.

    Non-amortized intangible assets

        Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. The carrying values of trade names at September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were as follows:

  $ 63,164   $ 59,692        
                 

        In its determination of these intangible assets as indefinite-lived, the Company considered such factors as its expected future use of the intangible asset, legal, regulatory, technological and competitive factors that may impact the useful life or value of the intangible asset and the expected costs to maintain the value of the intangible asset. The Company expects that these intangible assets will maintain their value indefinitely. Accordingly, these assets are not amortized.

(3) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

        The Company's trade names were tested for impairment in the third quarter of 2013. The values of the trade names were determined using the relief-from-royalty method. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that its trade names were not impaired.

    Goodwill

        The carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 was as follows:

        The goodwill from acquisitions arose from the acquisition of Locker. The Company's goodwill was tested for impairment during the third quarter of 2013. As a result of that testing, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired, as the valuation of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. The Company continues to monitor changes in the global economy that could impact future operating results of its reporting units. If such conditions arise, the Company will test a given reporting unit for impairment prior to the annual test.

(4) CASH FLOW SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

        The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash payments for interest and income taxes (net of refunds) for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 were as follows:

 
  2013   2012

(6) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        The Company has four reportable segments based on its management structure. Each segment is global in nature with a manager responsible for segment operational performance and the allocation of capital within the segment. Net corporate expense is net of certain service-related expenses that are allocated to business units generally on the basis of employee headcounts and sales dollars.

        Reportable segments are as follows:

        ENGINEERED INFRASTRUCTURE PRODUCTS:    This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered metal structures and components for the global lighting and traffic, wireless communication, roadway safety and access systems applications;

        UTILITY SUPPORT STRUCTURES:    This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered steel and concrete structures for the global utility industry;

        COATINGS:    This segment consists of galvanizing, anodizing and powder coating services on a global basis; and

        IRRIGATION:    This segment consists of the manufacture of agricultural irrigation equipment and related parts and services for the global agricultural industry.

        In addition to these four reportable segments, the Company has other businesses and activities that individually are not more than 10% of consolidated sales. These include the manufacture of forged steel grinding media for the mining industry, tubular products for industrial customers, electrolytic manganese dioxide for disposable batteries and the distribution of industrial fasteners and are reported in the "Other" category.

        The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based upon operating income and invested capital. The Company does not allocate interest expense, non-operating income and deductions, or income taxes to its business segments.

Overview

        On a consolidated basis, the increase in net sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, reflected improved sales in all reportable segments while sales were down in the "Other" category. Fiscal 2013 refers to the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2013 and fiscal 2012 refers to the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 2012. The increase in net sales in fiscal 2013, as compared with fiscal 2012, was due to the following factors:

        Acquisitions included Locker Group Holdings ("Locker") and Pure Metal Galvanizing ("PMG"). We acquired PMG in December 2012 and Locker in February 2013. We report Locker in the Engineered Infrastructure Products segment and PMG in the Coatings segment.

        In the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, we realized a decrease in operating profit, as compared with fiscal 2012, due to currency translation effects. On average, the U.S. dollar strengthened in particular against the Australian dollar, Brazilian Real and South Africa Rand, resulting in less operating profit in U.S. dollar terms. The breakdown of this effect by segment was as follows:

 
  Total   EIP   Coatings   Irrigation   Other   Corporate

  $ (2.2 ) $ (0.6 ) $ (0.6 ) $ (0.5 ) $ (0.5 ) $  

Year-to-date

  $ (3.1 ) $ (0.5 ) $ (0.7 ) $ (1.3 ) $ (0.7 ) $ 0.1  
                           

        The increase in gross margin (gross profit as a percent of sales) in fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, was due to a combination of improved sales prices and sales mix, improved factory operations and moderating raw material costs in 2013, as compared with 2012. In general, our cost of steel and other raw materials were slightly lower in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2013, as compared with the same periods in 2012.

Table of Contents

        Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) spending in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with the same period in 2012, increased mainly due to the following factors:

    Expenses recorded by Locker and PMG, which were acquired after the third quarter of 2012, of $4.9 million and $14.4 million, respectively;

    Increased compensation expenses of $2.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively, mainly associated with increased employment levels and salary increases, and;

    Increased employee incentive accruals of $1.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively, due to improved operating results and increased share price in valuing long-term incentive plans.

        In addition, certain non-recurring items affecting the comparisons of SG&A expenses included:

    The sale of one of our galvanizing facilities in Australia resulted in a gain of $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, which was reported as a reduction of SG&A expense, and;

    Insurance proceeds received in fiscal 2012 related to a fire in one of our galvanizing facilities in Australia resulted in a non-recurring reduction in SG&A in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2012 of $0.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

        On a reportable segment basis, all segments realized improved operating income in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2013, as compared with 2012.

        Net interest expense increased in the the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, due to a combination of lower interest income, as we used invested cash to fund the Locker acquisition, and slightly higher interest expense. The increase in interest expense principally was due to higher bank fees and interest incurred due to international working capital borrowings.

        The increase in other expense in the third quarter of 2013, as compared with 2012, mainly was attributable to foreign exchange transaction losses due to currency volatility.

        Our effective income tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was higher than the same period in fiscal 2012, principally due to a lowering of U.K. income tax rates and reconciliation of our annual income tax filings. In fiscal 2012 and 2013, U.K. tax rates were collectively reduced from 25% to 20%. Accordingly, we reduced the value of our deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss carryforwards and certain timing differences by $8.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 ($4.7 million in fiscal 2012), with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. On a year-to-date basis, the effects of the U.K. tax rate decrease were offset somewhat by approximately $1.5 million of tax benefits associated with the first quarter 2013 sale of our nonconsolidated investment in South Africa and $1.4 million of increased research and development tax credits in the U.S.

        Earnings in non-consolidated subsidiaries were lower in fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, due to the sale of our 49% owned manganese materials operation in February 2013. There was no significant gain or loss on the sale.

        Our cash flows generated by operations were approximately $249.1 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with $117.7 million in 2012. The increase in operating cash flow in the first three quarters of fiscal 2013 was the result of improved net earnings and less additional working capital to support the improved sales in 2013, as compared with 2012.

    Engineered Infrastructure Products (EIP) segment

        The increase in net sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 as compared with 2012 was mainly due to the acquisition of Locker in February 2013. Global lighting sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 were comparable with the same periods in fiscal 2012. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, sales in North America and Europe were comparable with

34


Table of Contents

2012. On a year-to-date basis, North American sales were comparable with 2012 while Europe was down slightly from 2012. The transportation market for lighting and traffic structures in the U.S., while stable, continues to be challenging, due in part to the lack of long-term U.S. federal highway funding legislation. Sales in other market channels such as sales to lighting fixture manufacturers and commercial construction projects in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 improved somewhat as compared with the same periods in 2012. In Europe, year-to-date sales in fiscal 2013 were lower than 2012, as weak economic conditions and restricted government roadway spending activity hampered demand for lighting structures.

        Communication product line sales improved in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012. On a regional basis, North American sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 improved over the same periods in fiscal 2012 by $8.4 and $16.9 million, respectively. The increase in North America sales was mainly attributable to stronger sales demand for components due to 4G wireless communication development. In China, sales of wireless communication structures in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 were lower than the same periods in fiscal 2012.

        Access systems product line sales improved in fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, mainly due to the Locker acquisition in February 2013. Otherwise, access systems sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 were lower than 2012, due a combination of slowness in mining sector investment in Australia and exchange rate effects due to a weaker Australian dollar in 2013 and related competitive pricing effects. Highway safety product sales in fiscal 2013 were comparable with fiscal 2012, as spending for roads and highways in Australia continues to be relatively weak due to budgetary restrictions.

        Operating income for the segment in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 increased, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012, due primarily to:

    improved operating performance of our lighting operations as a result of better factory operating performance (approximately $7.2 million and $9.8 million, respectively);

    improved North American communication product sales (approximately $1.0 million and $6.8 million), and;

    operating profit generated from Locker (approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively).

        The increase in SG&A spending was attributable to Locker (approximately $3.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively). SG&A spending otherwise was lower in fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, mainly associated with cost cutting measures taken in Europe in the third and fourth quarters of 2012.

    Utility Support Structures (Utility) segment

        In the Utility segment, the sales increase in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, was due mainly to improved sales in the U.S. market. While international sales were lower in the third quarter of 2013, as compared with the same period of 2012, year-to-date international sales in 2013 were comparable with fiscal 2012. International utility sales are more dependent on bid projects than North America.

        In the U.S., electrical utility companies continue to invest in the electrical grid at a high rate, as evidenced by record backlogs at December 29, 2012 and continued strong order flow in 2013. Certain low margin orders that shipped and were completed in fiscal 2012 contributed to improved sales prices and mix in 2013, as compared with 2012.

        Operating income in fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, increased due to the increase in sales volumes, improved sales pricing and mix and favorable leverage of fixed costs. In addition, the third

35


Table of Contents

quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2012 included approximately $1.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively, of unanticipated production and rework costs associated with one large order. These costs did not recur in fiscal 2013, which contributed to the gross profit improvements in fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012. The increases in SG&A expense in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with fiscal 2012, were mainly due to increased employee compensation ($1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively) and incentives ($0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively) associated with the increase in business levels and operating income.

    Coatings segment

        Coatings segment sales increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, due mainly to the December 2012 PMG acquisition. North America experienced stable external demand for galvanizing services, although internal demand from our other segments was higher in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2013, as compared with 2012. Asia Pacific volumes in 2013 were lower than 2012 due to weak demand in Australia. Unit pricing in 2013 was comparable with 2012.

        The increase in segment operating income in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, was mainly due to the gain on the sale of an Australian galvanizing operation in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 of $4.6 million, and operating income provided by PMG ($1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively). These two positive effects on fiscal 2013 operating income were offset to an extent by the effect of lower external demand for coatings services in Australia and the following non-recurring favorable events that occurred in fiscal 2012:

    Insurance recoveries in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 related to fire and storm damages at one of our Australian galvanizing facilities of approximately $0.8 million, and;

    Settlement of a dispute with a vendor of approximately $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2012.

    Irrigation segment

        The increase in Irrigation segment net sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, was mainly due to sales volume increases in both North American and International markets. The pricing and sales mix effect was generally due to sales price increases that took effect in 2012 to recover higher material costs in early 2012. In global markets, the sales growth was due to very strong agricultural economies around the world. Farm commodity prices continue to be favorable. We believe that farm commodity prices have been generally favorable due to strong demand, including consumption in the production of ethanol and other fuels, and traditionally low inventories of major farm commodities. In addition, in North America, we believe widespread drought throughout much of the country in 2012 further highlighted the benefits of center pivot irrigation and contributed to enhanced demand for our products. In international markets, sales improved in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, mainly due to increased activity in Brazil, Eastern Europe and Australia. On balance, sales in other international regions in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 were comparable to the same periods of a strong fiscal 2012.

        Operating income for the segment improved in fiscal 2013 over 2012, due to improved global sales unit volumes and related price increases. Moderating raw material prices in light of higher selling prices also contributed to improved operating income in 2013, as compared with 2012. The most significant reasons for the increase in SG&A expense in 2013, as compared with 2012, related to employee compensation costs and incentives (approximately $1.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively), $0.8 million and $2.0 million in provisions for international receivables recorded in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2013 and other expenses to support the business activity levels and product development.

    Other

        This unit includes the grinding media, industrial tubing, electrolytic manganese and industrial fasteners operations. The decrease in sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with 2012, was mainly due lower sales prices and exchange rate translation effects. Operating income in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 was comparable with the same periods in 2012, as lower raw material prices helped to dampen the effects of lower selling prices.

    Net corporate expense

        Net corporate expense in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013 increased over the same periods in fiscal 2012. These increases were mainly due to:

    higher employee incentives associated with improved net earnings and share price, which affected long-term incentive plans. Third quarter incentive expense in fiscal 2013 was comparable with 2012. On a year-to-date basis, incentive expenses in fiscal 2013 were $5.3 million higher than 2012;

    insurance settlements realized in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2012 related to a fire and storm damage to one of our galvanizing facilities in Australia of $0.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, that did not recur in fiscal 2013;

    higher compensation and employee benefit costs (approximately $1.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively), and;

    increased expenses associated with the Delta Pension Plan (approximately $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively).

        These increases were partially offset by 2012 stamp duties incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 related to the 2011 Delta legal restructuring of $1.2 million that did not recur in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Cash Flows

        Working Capital and Operating Cash Flows—Net working capital was $1,166.6 million at September 28, 2013, as compared with $1,013.5 million at December 29, 2012. The increase in net working capital in 2013 mainly resulted from increased cash on hand. Cash flow provided by operations was $249.1 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with $117.7 million provided by operations in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012. The increase in operating cash flow in 2013 was the result of the improvement in net earnings and working capital management in 2013, as compared with 2012. Despite higher sales levels in the first three quarters of fiscal 2013, receivable levels were comparable and inventory slightly increased as compared to December 29, 2012. Receivable turnover was slightly better in 2013, as compared with 2012, in part due to strong sales in North America, where collections generally are faster than at international locations. Inventory levels at September 28, 2013 were slightly higher than December 29, 2012, due to seasonal trends and the addition of Locker in 2013.

        Investing Cash Flows—Capital spending in the first three quarters of fiscal 2013 was $75.1 million, as compared with $58.7 million for the same period in 2012. The most significant capital spending projects in 2013 included certain capacity expansions in the Utility and Irrigation segments. We expect our capital spending for the 2013 fiscal year to be approximately $110 million. The increase in expected capital spending over 2012 is mainly due to capacity increases to meet the growing need for utility structures in the U.S. and additional manufacturing investment in the Irrigation segment. In 2013, investing cash flows included proceeds from asset sales of $39.6 million, principally consisting of $29.2 million received from the sale of our 49% owned non-consolidated subsidiary in South Africa and

37


Table of Contents

$8.2 million received from the sale of the Western Australia galvanizing operation. Investing cash flows also included $53.2 million paid for the Locker acquisition.

        Financing Cash Flows—Our total interest-bearing debt increased slightly to $488.7 million at September 28, 2013 from $486.2 million at December 29, 2012. Financing cash flows overall were lower in the first three quarters of fiscal 2013, as compared with the same period in 2012. The main reason for the decrease related to higher dividend payments associated with an increase in per share dividends in fiscal 2013.

    Financing and Capital

        We have historically funded our growth, capital spending and acquisitions through a combination of operating cash flows and debt financing. We have an internal long-term objective to maintain long-term debt as a percent of invested capital at or below 40%. At September 28, 2013, our long-term debt to invested capital ratio was 22.0%, as compared with 23.9% at December 29, 2012. Subject to our level of acquisition activity and steel industry operating conditions (which could affect the levels of inventory we need to fulfill customer commitments), we plan to maintain this ratio below 40% in 2013.

        Our debt financing at September 28, 2013 consisted primarily of long-term debt. We also maintain certain short-term bank lines of credit totaling $102.5 million, $85.3 million of which was unused at September 28, 2013. Our long-term debt principally consists of:

    $450 million face value ($462 million carrying value) of senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 6.625% per annum and are due in April 2020. We are allowed to repurchase the notes at specified prepayment premiums. These notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries.

    $400 million revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. We may increase the credit facility by up to an additional $200 million at any time, subject to participating banks increasing the amount of their lending commitments. The interest rate on our borrowings will be, at our option, either:

    (a)
    LIBOR (based on a 1, 2, 3 or 6 month interest period, as selected by us) plus 125 to 225 basis points (inclusive of facility fees), depending on our ratio of debt to earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), or;

    (b)
    the higher of

      The higher of (a) the prime lending rate and (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points plus in each case, 25 to 100 basis points (inclusive of facility fees), depending on our ratio of debt to EBITDA, or

      LIBOR (based on a 1 week interest period) plus 125 to 225 basis points (inclusive of facility fees), depending on our ratio of debt to EBITDA.

        At September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement has a termination date of August 15, 2017, and contains certain financial covenants that may limit our additional borrowing capability under the agreement. At September 28, 2013, we had the ability to borrow $384.3 million under this facility, after consideration of standby letters of credit of $15.7 million associated with certain insurance obligations and international sales commitments.

        These debt agreements contain covenants that require us to maintain certain coverage ratios and may limit us with respect to certain business activities, including capital expenditures. Our key debt covenants are as follows:

    Interest-bearing debt is not to exceed 3.5X EBITDA of the prior four quarters; and

    EBITDA over the prior four quarters must be at least 2.5X our interest expense over the same period.

        At September 28, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants related to these debt agreements. The key covenant calculations at September 28, 2013 were as follows:

        Our businesses are cyclical, but we have diversity in our markets, from a product, customer and a geographical standpoint. We have demonstrated the ability to effectively manage through business cycles and maintain liquidity. We have consistently generated operating cash flows in excess of our capital expenditures. Based on our available credit facilities, recent issuance of senior unsecured notes and our history of positive operational cash flows, we believe that we have adequate liquidity to meet our needs.

        We have not made any provision for U.S. income taxes in our financial statements on approximately $644.3 million of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as we intend to reinvest those earnings. Of our cash balances at September 28, 2013, approximately $381.8 million is held in entities outside the United States. If we need to repatriate foreign cash balances to the United States to meet our cash needs, income taxes would be paid to the extent that those cash repatriations

were undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. The income taxes that we would pay if cash were repatriated depends on the amounts to be repatriated and from which country. If all of our cash outside the United States were to be repatriated to the United States, we estimate that we would pay approximately $38.6 million in income taxes to repatriate that cash.
