WATSCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2013

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” which may be referred to as we, us or our) was incorporated in 1956 in Florida and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry. The accompanying Watsco June 30, 2013 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and include the accounts of three joint ventures with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”), in each of which Watsco maintains a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during the summer and winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets is fairly consistent during the year, except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the 2013 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or earnings per share as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventories and income taxes, reserves related to self-insurance programs and the valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.

New Accounting Standards

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended guidance that requires disclosure for amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component. The amendments require the presentation of amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, a cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts is required. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Anti-dilutive stock options not included above

     —          1,319         —          1,269   

Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year and adjusts for the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method; therefore, no allocation of earnings to Class B common stock is required. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,704,858 and 2,842,055 shares of our Common stock, respectively.

4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We routinely use certain derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency exposure. Although these derivatives were not designated as hedges and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they were effective economic hedges. The changes in fair value of economic hedges are recognized in earnings. During 2012, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to offset the earnings impact that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations would otherwise have on certain monetary liabilities that are denominated in nonfunctional currencies. The changes in fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts were a gain (loss) of $1,507, $(247), $1,528 and $(247) for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. The total notional value of our foreign currency exchange contracts as of June 30, 2013 was $38,750, and such contracts have varying terms expiring through September 2013. See Note 5.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:

Available-for-sale securities – the investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on closing stock prices from active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of available-for-sale securities is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative financial instruments – the derivatives are foreign currency forward contracts. Fair value is based on observable market inputs, such as forward rates, in active markets and therefore the derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

6. ACQUISITIONS

Carrier Enterprise I

Carrier Enterprise, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise I”) is a joint venture formed on July 1, 2009 with Carrier that operates a network of locations primarily throughout the U.S. Sun Belt. From its inception until July 2, 2012, we owned 60% of the joint venture and Carrier owned 40%. We had an option to purchase an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which became exercisable on July 1, 2012. On July 2, 2012, we exercised this option and acquired an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I for cash consideration of $51,881. We have a second option to purchase an additional 10% interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which becomes exercisable beginning on July 1, 2014.

Carrier Enterprise II

In 2011, we formed a second joint venture with Carrier and completed two additional transactions. In April 2011, Carrier contributed 28 of its company-owned locations in eight Northeast U.S. states, and we contributed 14 locations in the Northeast U.S. In July 2011, we purchased Carrier’s distribution operations in Mexico, which included seven locations. Collectively, the Northeast locations and the Mexico operations are referred to as Carrier Enterprise II. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II, and Carrier has a 40% noncontrolling interest. Neither we nor Carrier has any options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise II.

Carrier Enterprise III

On April 27, 2012, we completed the formation of a joint venture with UTC Canada Corporation (“UTC Canada”), an affiliate of Carrier, to distribute Carrier-manufactured HVAC products in Canada. The newly formed joint venture, Carrier Enterprise Canada, L.P. (“Carrier Enterprise III”), operates 35 locations throughout Canada. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III and Carrier has a 40% noncontrolling interest. Total consideration paid by us for our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III included cash consideration of $80,489 and the issuance to UTC Canada of 1,250,000 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $93,250. Neither we nor UTC Canada has any options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise III.

The purchase price resulted in the recognition of $216,463 in goodwill and intangibles. The fair value of the identified intangible assets was $151,172 and consisted of $95,515 in trade names and distribution rights and $55,657 in customer relationships to be amortized over a 15 year period. For Canadian income tax purposes, seventy-five percent of the tax basis of the acquired goodwill is amortized at a rate of 7% annually on a declining balance basis.

 

10 of 21


The purchase price allocation is based upon a purchase price of $173,739, which represents the fair value of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III. The table below presents the allocation of the total consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the noncontrolling interest from the acquisition of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III based on the respective fair values as of April 27, 2012:

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage and the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Self-Insurance

Self-insurance reserves are maintained relative to company-wide casualty insurance and health benefit programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occur and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. The estimation process contains uncertainty since management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. Reserves in the amounts of $5,846 and $4,844 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were established related to such insurance programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 57%, 60%, 56% and 57% of all purchases made during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $169,000 and $62,000, respectively, was payable to Carrier and its affiliates, net of receivables. Our joint ventures with Carrier also sell HVAC products to Carrier and its affiliates. Revenues in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 include $8,693, $10,064, $13,988 and $16,848, respectively, of sales to Carrier and its affiliates. We believe these transactions are conducted at arm’s-length in the ordinary course of business.

 

12 of 21


Carrier Enterprise II entered into Transactional Services Agreements (“TSAs”) with Carrier, pursuant to which Carrier performed certain business processes on its behalf, including processes involving the use of certain information technologies. The services provided by Carrier pursuant to the TSAs terminated on April 30, 2012. The fees related to these TSAs were $223 and $807 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. At December 31, 2012, $25 related to these TSAs was payable to Carrier and was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts outstanding were repaid in 2013 and no further services are required under the TSAs for Carrier Enterprise II.

Carrier Enterprise III entered into TSAs with UTC Canada, pursuant to which UTC Canada performs certain business processes on behalf of Carrier Enterprise III, including processes involving the use of certain information technologies, and UTC Canada entered into TSAs with Carrier Enterprise III, pursuant to which Carrier Enterprise III performs certain business processes on behalf of UTC Canada. The services provided pursuant to the TSAs terminate on various dates but may be extended as agreed upon by the parties. The fees payable by Carrier Enterprise III to UTC Canada under one TSA were substantially offset by the fees payable to Carrier Enterprise III by UTC Canada under the other TSA.

At December 31, 2012, $29,637 was payable to Carrier and UTC Canada for unpaid distributions declared to the noncontrolling interest. This amount was paid to Carrier and UTC Canada in February 2013.

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 1, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to our unsecured $500,000 syndicated revolving credit agreement, which extended the maturity date from April 27, 2017 to July 1, 2018, reduced pricing, improved covenant flexibility during seasonal periods of the year and modified certain definitions. Borrowings under the amended credit facility bear interest at either LIBOR-based rates plus a spread, which ranges from 87.5 to 250 basis-points, depending upon our ratio of total debt to EBITDA, or on rates based on the higher of the Prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate, in each case plus a spread which ranges from 0 to 150 basis-points, depending upon our ratio of total debt to EBITDA. We pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitment under the amended credit facility, ranging from 12.5 to 35 basis-points.

In light of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained herein will be realized or, even if realized, in whole or in part, that the information will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, our business or operations. For additional information identifying other important factors that may affect our operations and could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see our SEC filings, including but not limited to, the discussion included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking information or the discussion of such risks and uncertainties to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, reference should be made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Company Overview

Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” or we, us or our) was incorporated in Florida in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry. At June 30, 2013, we operated from 571 locations in 38 U.S. states, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to Latin America and the Caribbean.

Revenues primarily consist of sales of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of selling expenses, the largest components of which are salaries, commissions and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the operation of warehouse facilities, including a fleet of trucks and forklifts and facility rent, which are payable mostly under non-cancelable operating leases.

Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during summer and winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets is fairly consistent during the year, except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Joint Ventures with Carrier Corporation

In 2009, we formed a joint venture with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”), which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise I, in which Carrier contributed 95 of its company-owned locations in 13 U.S. Sun Belt states and Puerto Rico and its export division in Miami, Florida, and we contributed 15 locations that distributed Carrier products. On July 2, 2012, we exercised our option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which increased our ownership interest to 70%. We have an option to purchase from Carrier an additional 10% interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which becomes exercisable in July 2014.

In 2011, we formed a second joint venture with Carrier and completed two additional transactions. In April 2011, Carrier contributed 28 of its company-owned locations in eight Northeast U.S. states, and we contributed 14 locations in the Northeast U.S. In July 2011, we purchased Carrier’s distribution operations in Mexico, which included seven locations. Collectively, the Northeast locations and the Mexico operations are referred to as Carrier Enterprise II. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II, and Carrier has a 40% noncontrolling interest. Neither we nor Carrier has any options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise II.

In April 2012, we formed a third joint venture, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise III, with UTC Canada Corporation, referred to as UTC Canada, an affiliate of Carrier. Carrier contributed 35 of its company-owned locations in Canada to Carrier Enterprise III. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III, and UTC Canada has a 40% noncontrolling interest. Neither we nor UTC Canada has any options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise III.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial

 

14 of 21


statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, management reevaluates its judgments and estimates, which are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Our critical accounting policies are included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on February 28, 2013. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Second Quarter 2013 Compared to Second Quarter 2012

Revenues

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased $108.7 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2012, including $24.9 million attributable to the 35 new Carrier Enterprise III locations acquired in 2012, and $0.3 million from other locations opened during the preceding 12 months, partially offset by $1.9 million from closed locations. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $85.4 million, or 8%, as compared to the same period in 2012, reflecting an 11% increase in sales of HVAC equipment (14% increase in residential HVAC equipment offset by a 6% decrease in commercial HVAC equipment), a 4% increase in sales of other HVAC products and a 6% increase in sales of commercial refrigeration products. The increase in same-store revenues is primarily due to strong demand for the replacement of residential HVAC equipment.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased $28.2 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 improved 20 basis-points to 23.8% versus 23.6% for the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher realized gross margins for residential HVAC equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased $9.0 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 decreased to 14.4% from 15.1% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to leveraging of fixed operating costs as compared to 2012. For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses included $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs. On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% as compared to the same period in 2012.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased $0.3 million, or 25%, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of an increase in average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a lower effective interest rate in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased to $30.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $23.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and are a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and investments, and income taxes attributable to the Carrier joint ventures, which are taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes. The effective income tax rate attributable to us was 37.1% and 36.9% for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher effective tax rates for income generated by our U.S. subsidiaries.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased $12.2 million, or 31%, compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues, expanded profit margins and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues, as discussed above, and by a reduction in the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest related to Carrier Enterprise I following our purchase of an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I in July 2012.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $188.8 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2012, including $87.4 million attributable to the 35 new Carrier Enterprise III locations and $0.9 million from other locations opened during the preceding 12 months, offset by $2.9 million from closed locations. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $103.4 million, or 6%, as compared to the same period in 2012. Revenues reflect an 8% increase in sales of HVAC equipment (11% increase in residential HVAC equipment offset by a 6% decrease in commercial HVAC equipment), a 3% increase in sales of other HVAC products and a 6% increase in sales of commercial refrigeration products. The increase in same-store revenues is primarily due to strong demand for the replacement of residential HVAC equipment.

Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 improved 50 basis-points to 24.1% versus 23.6% for the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher realized gross margins for residential HVAC equipment and higher gross margins achieved by Carrier Enterprise III.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $23.2 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to 16.7% from 17.2% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to leveraging of fixed operating costs as compared to 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses included $0.7 million of acquisition-related costs. On a same-store basis, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 1% as compared to 2012.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $0.6 million, or 28%, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of an increase in average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a lower effective interest rate in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased to $39.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and are a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and investments and income taxes attributable to the Carrier joint ventures, which are taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes. The effective income tax rate attributable to us was 37.0% for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $17.1 million, or 36%, compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues, expanded profit margins and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues, as discussed above, and by a reduction in the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest related to Carrier Enterprise I following our purchase of an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I in July 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to execute our business strategy and fund operating and investing activities, taking into consideration the seasonal demand of HVAC/R products, which peaks in the months of May through August. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:

 

   

cash flows generated from operating activities;

 

   

the adequacy of our available bank line of credit;

 

   

the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms;

 

   

acquisitions;

 

   

dividend payments;

 

   

capital expenditures; and

 

   

the timing and extent of common stock repurchases.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We rely on cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity (subject to certain restrictions) under our revolving credit agreement to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including anticipated dividend payments, capital expenditures, business acquisitions and development of our long-term operating strategies.

We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under our line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our current sources of available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements.

 

17 of 21


Any future disruption in the capital and credit markets, such as those experienced in 2008 and 2009, could adversely affect our ability to draw on our line of credit. Our access to funds under the line of credit is dependent on the ability of the syndicate banks to meet their respective funding commitments. Disruptions in capital and credit markets also may affect the determination of interest rates for borrowers, particularly rates based on LIBOR, which is one of the base rates under our line of credit. Any future disruptions in these markets and their effect on interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs and/or reduced borrowing capacity under our line of credit.

Working Capital

Working capital increased to $899.2 million at June 30, 2013 from $733.1 million at December 31, 2012, reflecting higher levels of accounts receivable and inventories, primarily due to the seasonality of our business.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

 

     2013     2012     Change  

Cash flows used in operating activities

   $ (76.9   $ (59.6   $ (17.3

Cash flows used in investing activities

   $ (6.8   $ (88.9   $ 82.1   

Cash flows provided by financing activities

   $ 36.3      $ 168.0      $ (131.7

The individual items contributing to cash flow changes for the periods presented are detailed in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities

The increase in net cash used in operating activities was principally attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities, which were primarily composed of lower levels of accounts payable and other liabilities due to approximately $18.0 million in incremental vendor payments from a one-time change in payment terms effective April 27, 2013 and higher accounts receivable driven by increased sales volume in 2013.

Investing Activities

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is due to the purchase of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III for cash consideration of $82.1 million in 2012.

Financing Activities

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to lower net borrowings under our revolving credit agreement and a decrease in dividends paid in 2013, partially offset by an increase in distributions to the noncontrolling interest.

Revolving Credit Agreement

We maintain an unsecured, syndicated revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $500.0 million. Borrowings are used to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $398.3 million and $316.2 million were outstanding under the revolving credit agreement, respectively. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and other customary restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2013.

On July 1, 2013, we entered into an amendment to the revolving credit agreement, which extended the maturity date from April 27, 2017 to July 1, 2018, reduced pricing, improved covenant flexibility during seasonal periods and modified certain definitions. Borrowings under the amended credit facility bear interest at either LIBOR-based rates plus a spread, which ranges from 87.5 to 250 basis-points, depending upon our ratio of total debt to EBITDA, or on rates based on the higher of the Prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate, in each case plus a spread which ranges from 0 to 150 basis-points, depending upon our ratio of total debt to EBITDA. We pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitment under the amended credit facility, ranging from 12.5 to 35 basis-points.

Acquisitions

We continually evaluate potential acquisitions and/or joint ventures and routinely hold discussions with a number of acquisition candidates. Should suitable acquisition opportunities arise that would require additional financing, we believe our financial position and earnings history provide a sufficient basis for us to either obtain additional debt financing at competitive rates and on reasonable terms or raise capital through the issuance of equity securities.

Common Stock Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $0.50 per share and $1.24 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. On July 1, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock that was paid on July 31, 2013 to shareholders of record as of July 15, 2013. Future dividends and/or dividend rate increases will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as cash flow generated by operations, profitability, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”)) that are, among other things, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Senior Vice President (“SVP”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO, SVP and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on that evaluation, our CEO, SVP and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, at and as of such date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations and of our internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout the Company. However, there have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, we have not yet assessed the internal control over financial reporting of the 35 locations added by Carrier Enterprise III on April 27, 2012, which represents approximately 16% of our consolidated assets at June 30, 2013 and approximately 8% of our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013. From the acquisition date to June 30, 2013, the processes and systems of Carrier Enterprise III did not impact the internal controls over financial reporting for our other consolidated subsidiaries.
