Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Rexnord Corporation (“Rexnord” or the "Company"), in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company

Rexnord is a growth-oriented, multi-platform industrial company with what it believes are leading market shares and highly trusted brands that serve a diverse array of global end-markets. The Company's heritage of innovation and specification have allowed it to provide highly engineered, mission critical solutions to customers for decades and affords it the privilege of having long-term, valued relationships with market leaders. The Process & Motion Control platform designs, manufactures, markets and services specified, highly-engineered mechanical components used within complex systems where our customers' reliability requirements and cost of failure or downtime is extremely high. The Process & Motion Control product portfolio includes gears, couplings, industrial bearings, aerospace bearings and seals, FlatTop™ chain, engineered chain and conveying equipment. The Water Management platform designs, procures, manufactures and markets products that provide and enhance water quality, safety, flow control and conservation. The Water Management product portfolio includes professional grade specification drainage products, flush valves and faucet products, backflow prevention pressure release valves, and PEX piping used primarily in non-residential construction end-markets and engineered valves and gates for the water and wastewater treatment market.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers in order to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance specifies revenue should be recognized in the amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and allows for full retrospective adoption applied to all periods presented or retrospective adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"), which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 allows only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations to be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations, as well as pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. As this guidance is a prospective change, adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Immaterial Out-of-Period Adjustment

During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment related to its customer rebate incentive accrual. This adjustment decreased net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 by $5.3 million (after considering

Table of Contents

applicable tax effects) and had no impact on reported cash flow from operations. Management performed an evaluation and concluded the effect of the adjustment was immaterial to previously issued financial statements and is not expected to be material for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

2. Acquisitions

Fiscal Year 2015 Acquisition

On April 15, 2014, the Company acquired Green Turtle Technologies Ltd., Green Turtle Americas Ltd. and Filamat Composites Inc. (collectively "Green Turtle") for a total cash purchase price of $27.7 million, excluding transaction costs and net of cash acquired. Green Turtle, based in Toronto, Ontario, and Charlotte, North Carolina, is a manufacturer of branded fiberglass oil and grease separators and traps. This acquisition broadens the product portfolio of the Company's existing Water Management platform.

The Company's results of operations include the acquired operations subsequent to April 15, 2014. The acquisition of Green Turtle was not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Pro-forma results of operations and certain other U.S. GAAP disclosures related to the acquisition during the first quarter ended June 30, 2014 have not been presented because they are not significant to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and financial position.

The Green Turtle acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and recorded by allocating the purchase price of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The initial purchase price allocation resulted in non-tax deductible goodwill of $20.3 million, other intangible assets of $10.4 million and other net liabilities of $3.0 million. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to final working capital and other valuation adjustments that will be completed within the one year period following the acquisition date.

Fiscal Year 2014 Acquisitions

On December 16, 2013, the Company acquired Precision Gear Holdings, LLC (“PGH”) for a total cash purchase price of $77.1 million, net of cash acquired and excluding transaction costs. PGH has two operating subsidiaries, Merit Gear LLC (“Merit Gear”), located in Antigo, Wisconsin, and Precision Gear LLC (“Precision Gear”), located in Twinsburg, Ohio. Merit Gear is a build-to-print manufacturer of high-quality gearing and specialized gearboxes primarily for the North American oil and gas market, along with other diversified industrial markets. Precision Gear is a leading manufacturer of highly specialized gears primarily serving the aerospace market, along with various other industrial markets. This acquisition was complementary to the Company's existing Process & Motion Control platform.

On August 30, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of L.W. Gemmell ("LWG") for a total cash purchase price of $8.2 million, excluding transactions costs. LWG, based in Australia, is a distributor of non-residential plumbing products. A portion of LWG's historical sales were from existing Rexnord Water Management product lines. As such, the acquisition provided the Company with additional product offerings and the opportunity to expand its international presence through a more direct ownership structure.

On August 21, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of Micro Precision Gear Technology Limited ("Micro Precision") for a total cash purchase price of $22.2 million, excluding transactions costs. Micro Precision, based in the United Kingdom, is a built-to-print manufacturer of specialty gears and electric motor components primarily sold to the aerospace market. This acquisition expanded the Company's existing Process & Motion Control product offerings and its presence in Europe.

On April 26, 2013, the Company acquired Klamflex Pipe Couplings Ltd. ("Klamflex") for a total cash purchase price of $4.5 million, net of cash acquired and excluding transaction costs. Klamflex, based in South Africa, is a manufacturer of pipe couplings, flange adapters, dismantling joints and repair clamps. This acquisition broadened the product portfolio of the Company's existing Water Management platform and expanded the Company's presence globally.

The Company's results of operations include the acquired operations subsequent to the respective acquisition dates included above. The acquisitions of PGH, LWG, Micro Precision and Klamflex were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, either individually or in the aggregate. Pro-forma results of operations and certain other U.S. GAAP disclosures related to the acquisitions during fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 have not been presented because they are not significant to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and financial position, either individually or in the aggregate.

Table of Contents

The fiscal year 2014 acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations and recorded by allocating the purchase price of the acquisitions to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The aggregate purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $24.9 million ($22.8 million of tax deductible goodwill), other intangible assets of $25.1 million, property, plant and equipment of $36.7 million and other net assets of $25.3 million. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to valuation adjustments that will be completed within the one year period following each acquisition date.

During fiscal 2014, the Company also established a new French sales office in its Water Management platform to expand its European water and wastewater market presence via a joint venture between the Company and six external sales associates. The Company contributed an immaterial amount of capital to the joint venture. As the Company has a 51% ownership stake and is deemed to have significant control over the new legal entity, the financial statements of the new joint venture have been wholly consolidated in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidations. The remaining 49% of the joint venture that is not owned by the Company has been presented as a non-controlling interest throughout the financial statements.

3. Restructuring and Other Similar Costs

During the first quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company continued to execute various restructuring actions. These initiatives were implemented to reduce operating costs while also modifying the Company's footprint to reflect changes in the markets it serves, the impact of acquisitions on the Company's overall manufacturing capacity and the refinement of its overall product portfolio. These restructuring actions primarily resulted in workforce reductions, impairment of assets, lease termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs. Management expects to continue executing initiatives to optimize its operating margin and manufacturing footprint as well as select product-line rationalizations. As such, the Company expects further expenses related to workforce reductions, impairment of assets, lease termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs. The Company's restructuring plans are preliminary and related expenses are not yet estimable.

The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring costs during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 29, 2013 by classification of operating segment (in millions):



	Restructuring Costs Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Restructuring accrual, June 30, 2014 (1)	$	3.2		$	0.5		$	3.7


(1)	The restructuring accrual is included in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for all periods presented is based on an estimated effective income tax rate for the respective full fiscal years. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is determined excluding the effect of significant discrete items or items that are reported net of their related tax effects. The tax effect of significant discrete items is reflected in the period in which they occur. The Company's income tax expense is impacted by a number of factors, including the amount of taxable earnings derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that are generally lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, state tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company does business and the Company's ability to utilize various tax credits and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards.

The income tax provision was $21.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to an income tax provision of $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 64.5% versus 13.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was significantly higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% mainly due to certain one-time costs of $10.1 million associated with a change to the U.S. income tax entity classification of a foreign subsidiary. Excluding the one-time costs the effective tax rate would have been 34.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was below the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% mainly due to the accrual of foreign income taxes at rates which are generally below the U.S. federal statutory rate and the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had a $25.5 million liability for unrecognized net income tax benefits. At March 31, 2014, the Company's total liability for unrecognized net income tax benefits was $23.6 million. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the total amount of gross, unrecognized income tax benefits included $10.2 million and $9.9 million of accrued interest and penalties, respectively. The Company recognized $0.2 million of net interest and penalties as income tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company recognized $0.5 million of net interest and penalties as income tax expense during the three months ended June 29, 2013.

The Company conducts business in multiple locations within and outside the U.S. Consequently, the Company is subject to periodic income tax examinations by domestic and foreign income tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine, periodic income tax examinations in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has recently been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that it intends to conduct an income tax examination for the tax year ended March 31, 2013. Field work is anticipated to begin during the third or fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. During the first quarter ended June 29, 2013, the Company completed an examination of its Italian corporate income tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2008 through March 31, 2011. Similarly, during the second quarter ended September 28, 2013, the Company completed an examination of certain German subsidiaries’ corporate income and trade tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2006 through March 31, 2010. The Company paid approximately $0.7 million and $0.4 million upon the conclusion of the Italian and German examinations, respectively. However, these amounts did not have a negative financial statement impact to the Company as the amounts were either previously reserved as an unrecognized tax benefit or appropriately accounted for as a deferred tax item. It appears reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized income tax benefits could change in the next twelve months as a result of such examinations; however, any potential payments of income tax, interest and penalties are not expected to be significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years ending prior to March 31, 2011, state and local income tax examinations for years ending prior to fiscal 2010 or significant foreign income tax examinations for years ending prior to fiscal 2009. With respect to the Company's U.S. federal NOL carryforward, the short tax period from July 21, 2006 to March 31, 2007 (due to the change in control when Apollo Management, L.P. acquired the Company) and the tax years ended March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are open under statutes of limitations; whereby, the Internal Revenue Service may not adjust the income tax liability for these years, but may reduce the NOL carryforward and any other tax attribute carryforwards to future, open tax years.

Table of Contents

5. Earnings per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the corresponding weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of incremental shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive shares were issued through the exercise of outstanding stock options to purchase common shares, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. The computation for diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 excludes 86,909 options to purchase shares due to their anti-dilutive effect. The computation for diluted net earnings per share for the three months ended June 29, 2013 excludes options to purchase 3,612,487 shares due to their anti-dilutive effect.

6. Stockholders' Equity

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On August 21, 2013, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). The senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement are funded by a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions and provide for loans of up to $2,215.0 million, consisting of (i) a $1,950.0 million term loan facility with a maturity date of August 21, 2020 (the "Term Loan"); and (ii) a $265.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of March 15, 2017; under the revolving credit facility, the Company has borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for borrowings on a same-day notice, referred to as swingline loans.

At June 30, 2014, borrowings under the Credit Agreement had an effective and average interest rate of 4.00%, determined as the LIBO rate (subject to a 1% floor) plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. The interest rates for the Term Loan are subject to a leverage-based pricing grid. In the event the Company's first lien leverage ratio is less than 3.25 to 1.0, its applicable margin on the Term Loan borrowings would decrease twenty-five (25) basis points. The Company's actual first lien leverage ratio was 3.86 to 1.0 as of June 30, 2014.

As of June 30, 2014, the remaining mandatory principal payments prior to maturity on the Term Loan were $117.0 million. Principal payments of $4.9 million are scheduled to be made at the end of each calendar quarter until June 30, 2020.

No amounts were borrowed under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2014 or March 31, 2014; however, $29.9 million and $29.1 million of the revolving credit facility were considered utilized in connection with outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its Credit Agreement, including compliance with a maximum permitted first lien leverage ratio (the Company's sole financial maintenance covenant under its revolver) of 7.75 to 1.0.

Partial Prepayment of Old Term Loan

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement relating to its then-existing credit agreement, which reduced the then-applicable margin on the term loan facility by seventy-five (75) basis points. In connection with the Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Company made a $150.0 million prepayment on the term loan facility. The Company also recognized a related pre-tax loss of $4.0 million related to the portion of debt that was considered modified in the accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, which was comprised of $0.8 million of fees paid to lenders and a non-cash write-off of $2.4 million of deferred financing costs and $0.8 million of original issue discount, respectively.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

In fiscal 2012, the Company entered into a five-year Amended and Restated Receivables Funding and Administration Agreement (the “RFAA”) by and among Rexnord Funding LLC (“Funding,” a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as a lender, a swing line lender and administrative agent. The RFAA is the principal operative agreement under which certain subsidiaries continuously sell substantially all of their domestic trade accounts receivable to Funding for cash and subordinated notes (the “Program”).

At June 30, 2014, the Company's available borrowing capacity under the Program was $100.0 million, based on the current accounts receivables balance subject to the Program. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Program as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, Funding was in compliance with all applicable covenants and performance ratios contained in the RFAA.

See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company's fiscal 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding long-term debt.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company currently selectively uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage its foreign currency risk. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to defined policies and procedures that prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the foreign currency volatility relative to certain intercompany and external cash flows expected to occur. These foreign currency forward contracts were not accounted for as effective cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) and as such were marked to market through earnings. See the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized within the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the Company's foreign currency forward contracts within the tables below.

Interest Rate Swaps

During fiscal 2014, the Company entered into three forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in future cash flows associated with a portion of the Company’s variable-rate term loans. The forward-starting interest rate swaps convert $650.0 million of the Company’s variable-rate term loans to a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.55% plus the applicable margin (inclusive of a 1% LIBOR floor). All of the interest rate swaps become effective beginning on September 28, 2015 with a maturity of September 27, 2018. The interest rate derivatives have been designated as effective cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815. The fair values of these interest rate derivatives are recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets with the corresponding offset recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. See the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the Company's interest rate swaps within the tables below.

The Company's derivatives are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). See Note 13 Fair Value Measurements for more information as it relates to the fair value measurement of the Company's derivative financial instruments.

The following tables indicate the location and the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments within the condensed consolidated balance sheets segregated between designated, qualifying ASC 815 hedging instruments and non-qualifying, non-designated hedging instruments (in millions).

Fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815:

The following table indicates the location and the amount of gains or losses associated with the Company's derivative instruments, net of tax, within the condensed consolidated balance sheets (for qualifying ASC 815 instruments) and recognized within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The information is segregated between designated, qualifying ASC 815 hedging instruments and non-qualifying, non-designated hedging instruments (in millions). As of June 30, 2014, there was no ineffectiveness on the Company's designated hedging instruments.

		June 30, 2014			June 29, 2013
Foreign currency forward contracts	Other expense, net	$	(0.4	)	$	0.3

Due to the forward starting nature of the interest rate swaps, the Company does not expect to reclassify any amount within accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings as interest expense during the next twelve months.

13. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use.

In accordance with ASC 820, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:


•	Level 1- Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


•	Level 2- Quoted prices for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable.


•	Level 3- Model-derived valuations in which one or more inputs or value-drivers are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

If applicable, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value, and therefore classifies such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, the Company makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters. These measurements are classified within Level 3 if they use significant unobservable inputs.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps

The Company transacts in foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, which are impacted by ASC 820. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a pricing model that utilizes the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate as applied to fixed future deliveries of currency at pre-designated settlement dates. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on pricing models. These models use discounted cash flows that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and interest rates.

The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps reside within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers of assets between levels during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014. The following table provides a summary of the Company's assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 (in millions):



	Fair Value as of June 30, 2014

Fair Value of Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities approximated fair value at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of long-term debt as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 was approximately $1,989.8 million and $1,995.1 million, respectively. The fair value is based on quoted market prices for the same issues.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Warranties:

The Company offers warranties on the sales of certain products and records an accrual for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management's estimate of the level of future claims. The following table presents changes in the Company's product warranty liability (in millions):



	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2014			June 29, 2013
Balance at beginning of period	$	8.6		$	8.8
Charged to operations	—			1.1
Claims settled	(1.0		)	(0.9		)
Balance at end of period	$	7.6		$	9.0

Contingencies:

The Company's subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business involving, among other things, product liability, commercial, employment, workers' compensation, intellectual property claims and environmental matters. The Company establishes accruals in a manner that is consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for costs associated with such matters when liability is probable and

Table of Contents

those costs are capable of being reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss or recovery, based upon current information, management believes the eventual outcome of these unresolved legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In connection with the Carlyle acquisition in November 2002, Invensys plc ("Invensys") has provided the Company with indemnification against certain contingent liabilities, including certain pre-closing environmental liabilities. The Company believes that, pursuant to such indemnity obligations, Invensys is obligated to defend and indemnify the Company with respect to the matters described below relating to the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site and to various asbestos claims. The indemnity obligations relating to the matters described below are subject, together with indemnity obligations relating to other matters, to an overall dollar cap equal to the purchase price, which is an amount in excess of $900 million. The following paragraphs summarize the most significant actions and proceedings:

•

In 2002, Rexnord Industries, LLC (“Rexnord Industries”) was named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”), together with at least ten other companies, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the “Site”), by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”), and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”). Rexnord Industries' Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and IEPA allege there have been one or more releases or threatened releases of chlorinated solvents and other hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants, allegedly including but not limited to a release or threatened release on or from the Company's property, at the Site. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of USEPA's past costs. Rexnord Industries' allocated share of past and future costs related to the Site, including for investigation and/or remediation, could be significant. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against the Company related to the Site have been settled or dismissed. Pursuant to its indemnity obligation, Invensys continues to defend the Company in known matters related to the Site and has paid 100% of the costs to date.

•

Multiple lawsuits (with approximately 1,000 claimants) are pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain brakes and clutches previously manufactured by the Company's Stearns division and/or its predecessor owners. Invensys and FMC, prior owners of the Stearns business, have paid 100% of the costs to date related to the Stearns lawsuits. Similarly, the Company's Prager subsidiary is a defendant in two pending multi-defendant lawsuits relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in a product allegedly manufactured by Prager. Additionally, there are numerous individuals who have filed asbestos related claims against Prager; however, these claims are currently on the Texas Multi-district Litigation inactive docket. The ultimate outcome of these asbestos matters cannot presently be determined. To date, the Company's insurance providers have paid 100% of the costs related to the Prager asbestos matters. The Company believes that the combination of its insurance coverage and the Invensys indemnity obligations will cover any future costs of these matters.

In connection with the acquisition of The Falk Corporation (“Falk”), Hamilton Sundstrand has provided the Company with indemnification against certain products-related asbestos exposure liabilities. The Company believes that, pursuant to such indemnity obligations, Hamilton Sundstrand is obligated to defend and indemnify the Company with respect to the asbestos claims described below, and that, with respect to these claims, such indemnity obligations are not subject to any time or dollar limitations.

The following paragraph summarizes the most significant actions and proceedings for which Hamilton Sundstrand has accepted responsibility:

•

Falk, through its successor entity, is a defendant in multiple lawsuits pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain clutches and drives previously manufactured by Falk. There are approximately 100 claimants in these suits. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot presently be determined. Hamilton Sundstrand is defending the Company in these lawsuits pursuant to its indemnity obligations and has paid 100% of the costs to date.

Certain Water Management subsidiaries are also subject to asbestos litigation. As of June 30, 2014, Zurn and numerous other unrelated companies were defendants in approximately 7,000 asbestos related lawsuits representing approximately 26,000 claims. Plaintiffs' claims allege personal injuries caused by exposure to asbestos used primarily in industrial boilers formerly manufactured by a segment of Zurn. Zurn did not manufacture asbestos or asbestos components. Instead, Zurn purchased them from suppliers. These claims are being handled pursuant to a defense strategy funded by insurers.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2014, the Company estimates the potential liability for the asbestos-related claims described above, as well as the claims expected to be filed in the next ten years to be approximately $36.0 million, of which Zurn expects its insurance carriers to pay approximately $29.0 million in the next ten years on such claims, with the balance of the estimated liability being paid in subsequent years. The $36.0 million was developed based on an actuarial study and represents the projected indemnity payout for claims filed in the next 10 years. However, there are inherent uncertainties involved in estimating the number of future asbestos claims, future settlement costs, and the effectiveness of defense strategies and settlement initiatives. As a result, actual liability could differ from the estimate described herein. Further, while this current asbestos liability is based on an estimate of claims through the next ten years, such liability may continue beyond that time frame, and such liability could be substantial.

Management estimates that its available insurance to cover this potential asbestos liability as of June 30, 2014, is approximately $250.5 million, and believes that all current claims are covered by insurance. However, principally as a result of the past insolvency of certain of the Company's insurance carriers, certain coverage gaps will exist if and after the Company's other carriers have paid the first $174.5 million of aggregate liabilities.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a recorded receivable from its insurance carriers of $36.0 million, which corresponds to the amount of this potential asbestos liability that is covered by available insurance and is currently determined to be probable of recovery. However, there is no assurance that $250.5 million of insurance coverage will ultimately be available or that this asbestos liability will not ultimately exceed $250.5 million. Factors that could cause a decrease in the amount of available coverage include: changes in law governing the policies, potential disputes with the carriers regarding the scope of coverage, and insolvencies of one or more of the Company's carriers.

The Company's subsidiaries, Zurn PEX, Inc. and Zurn Industries, LLC ("Zurn Industries"), were named as defendants in a number of individual and class action lawsuits in various United States courts. The plaintiffs in these suits claimed damages due to the alleged failure or anticipated failure of Zurn brass fittings on the PEX plumbing systems in homes and other structures.

In July 2012, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the liability underlying this litigation. The settlement is designed to resolve, on a national basis, the Company's overall exposure for both known and unknown claims related to the alleged failure or anticipated failure of Zurn brass fittings on PEX plumbing systems, subject to the right of eligible class members to opt-out of the settlement and pursue their claims independently. The settlement received final court approval in February 2013, and utilizes a seven year claims fund, which is capped at $20 million, and is funded in installments over the seven year period based on claim activity and minimum funding criteria. The settlement also covers class action plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses totaling $8.5 million, which were paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Historically, the Company's insurance carrier had funded the Company's defense in the above referenced proceedings. The Company, however, reached a settlement agreement with its insurer, whereby the insurer paid the Company a lump sum in exchange for a release of future exposure related to this liability.

The Company has recorded an accrual related to this brass fittings liability, which takes into account, in pertinent part, the insurance carrier contribution, as well as exposure from the claims fund, opt-outs and the waiver of future insurance coverage.

In 2010, Sloan Valve Company (“Sloan”) filed a complaint against the Company’s subsidiary, Zurn Industries, for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleged, among other things, that Zurn Industries’ manual dual flush valve infringed Sloan’s patent for its “Flush Valve Handle Assembly Providing Dual Mode Operation” and sought an unspecified amount of damages, including a request for treble damages and attorneys’ fees related to Sloan’s allegation of willful infringement. In June 2014, the court entered a consent judgment, consistent with the settlement agreement between Zurn Industries and Sloan, which included, among other things, a dismissal of all claims and counterclaims between the parties. The resolution of this case did not have a material adverse impact on the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations.

During the first three months of fiscal 2015 and 2014, the Company made contributions of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, to its U.S. qualified pension plan trusts.

In accordance with the Company's accounting policy for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, actuarial gains and losses above a specified threshold are immediately recognized in the Company's operating results during the fourth quarter. This adjustment is measured annually in connection with the Company's required year-end re-measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations, or upon any off-cycle re-measurement event. As a result, a mark-to-market adjustment may be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 in accordance with the Company's pension accounting policy. See Note 16 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company's fiscal 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding retirement benefits.

16. Stock Options

ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. Generally, compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. The Company recognizes the compensation cost for options granted over the requisite service period, generally as the awards vest. The fair value of each option is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. See Note 15 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company's fiscal 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding stock-based compensation and related plans.

For the first quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $1.6 million of stock-based compensation expense. For the first quarter ended June 29, 2013, the Company recorded $1.5 million of stock-based compensation expense. As of June 30, 2014, there was $12.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years.

17. Related Party Transactions

Under the Stockholders Agreements with affiliates of Apollo Management and George Sherman, in certain circumstances the Company is obligated to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission shares owned by those stockholders and bear related expenses of offerings by them. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and 2014, the Company effected such registrations and paid offering expenses (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, which were paid be the selling stockholders) on behalf of Apollo affiliates; such costs were $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

18. Business Segment Information

The results of operations are reported in two business segments, consisting of the Process & Motion Control platform and the Water Management platform. The Process & Motion Control platform designs, manufactures, markets and services specified, highly engineered mechanical components used within complex systems where our customers' reliability requirements and cost of failure or downtime is extremely high. The Process & Motion Control product portfolio includes gears, couplings, industrial bearings, aerospace bearings and seals, FlatTop™ chain, engineered chain and conveying equipment. This segment serves a diverse group of end markets, including mining, general industrial applications, cement and aggregates, agriculture, forest and wood products, petrochemical, energy, food & beverage, aerospace and wind energy. The Water Management platform designs, procures, manufactures and markets products that provide and enhance water quality, safety, flow control and conservation. The Water Management product portfolio includes professional grade specification drainage products, flush valves and faucet products, backflow prevention pressure release valves and PEX piping used in non-residential construction end-markets and engineered valves and gates for the water and wastewater treatment market. The financial information of the Company's segments is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in determining resource allocation and assessing performance. Management evaluates the performance of each business segment based on its operating results. The same accounting policies are used throughout the organization (see Note 1).

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Refer to Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 for information with respect to our critical accounting policies, which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management. Except for the items reported below, management believes that as of June 30, 2014 and during the period from April 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014, there has been no material change to this information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers in order to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance specifies revenue should be recognized in the amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and allows for full retrospective adoption applied to all periods presented or retrospective adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"), which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 allows only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations to be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations, as well as pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. As this guidance is a prospective change, adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Acquisition of Green Turtle

On April 15, 2014, we acquired Green Turtle Technologies Ltd., Green Turtle Americas Ltd. and Filamat Composites Inc. (collectively "Green Turtle") for a total cash purchase price of $27.7 million, excluding transaction costs and net of cash acquired. Green Turtle, based in Toronto, Ontario, and Charlotte, North Carolina, is a manufacturer of branded fiberglass oil and grease separators and traps. This acquisition broadens the product portfolio of the Company's existing Water Management platform. This acquisition was not material to our financial statements for the first quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Acquisition of Precision Gear Holdings

On December 16, 2013, we acquired Precision Gear Holdings, LLC (“PGH”) for a total cash purchase price of $77.1 million, net of cash acquired and excluding transaction costs. PGH has two operating subsidiaries, Merit Gear LLC (“Merit Gear”), located in Antigo, WI, and Precision Gear LLC (“Precision Gear”), located in Twinsburg, OH. Merit Gear is a build-to-print manufacturer of high-quality gearing and specialized gearboxes primarily for the North American oil and gas market, along with other diversified industrial markets. Precision Gear is a leading manufacturer of highly specialized gears primarily serving the aerospace market, along with various other industrial markets. This acquisition is complementary to our existing Process & Motion Control platform.

Review of Strategic Alternatives for Mill Products

During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a plan to assess the strategic alternatives for a non-core product-line that manufactures ring gears and pinions (“Mill Products”) utilized in mining sector crushing machinery applications. The alternatives could include the possible sale of the entire business or the sale of individual net assets. The exploration of strategic alternatives is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2015. Given the preliminary stage of this analysis, the range of potential outcomes are not yet determinable. Therefore, for further clarity, certain discussions below exclude the following current year financial statement impact of Mill Products.

Process & Motion Control

Process & Motion Control net sales decreased 3% to $304.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding the $8.5 million year-over-year decline related to Mill Products, Process & Motion Control net sales decreased 1% as a 3% increase in net sales from acquisitions was offset by a 4% decline in core net sales due to the expected decline in sales to our bulk material handling end-markets driven by the lower backlog going into fiscal 2015.

Water Management

Water Management net sales increased 6% from the prior year to $205.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Water Management core net sales, which excludes a 2% favorable impact from acquisitions, increased 4% as a result of market share gains and strengthening market dynamics in the majority of our end-markets.

Process & Motion Control

Process & Motion Control income from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $48.3 million or 15.9% of net sales. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales decreased 40 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 as the current year was adversely impacted by the decline in Mill Products sales, incremental restructuring charges and inventory fair value adjustments related to the acquisition of PGH in fiscal 2014 (an aggregate 140 basis point impact year-over-year). Excluding these items, income from operations as a percent of net sales increased 100 basis points as a result of core operational improvements.

Water Management

Water Management income from operations was $18.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, or 9.0% of net sales. Income from operations as a percent of net sales decreased 60 basis points year-over-year as a result of incremental restructuring charges, inventory fair value adjustments related to the acquisition of Green Turtle and less favorable sales mix in our water infrastructure shipments. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased 310 basis points sequentially, which reflects increased productivity gains, cost reduction, and efficiencies delivered by the Rexnord Business System.

Corporate

Corporate expenses were $9.2 million and $9.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Table of Contents

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $22.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $35.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The year-over-year decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of the full retirement of our 8.50% senior notes due 2018 during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. As a result of this transaction, our effective interest rate on approximately $1.1 billion of our outstanding debt was reduced by approximately 450 basis points.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we completed a re-pricing of the applicable margin on our then-outstanding term loan facilities and recognized a related pre-tax loss of $4.0 million. We had no charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, consists of foreign currency transaction losses of $0.5 million and other miscellaneous expenses of $0.8 million. Other expense, net for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, consists of foreign currency transaction losses of $2.8 million, a $0.4 million loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment and other miscellaneous expenses of $3.0 million.

Provision for income taxes

The income tax provision was $21.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to an income tax provision of $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 64.5% versus 13.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was significantly higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% mainly due to certain one-time costs associated with a change to the U.S. income tax entity classification of a foreign subsidiary. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was below the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% mainly due to the accrual of foreign income taxes at rates which are generally below the U.S. federal statutory rate and the recognition of certain, previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.

Net income

Our net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $12.0 million, compared to $13.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as a result of the factors described above. Diluted income per share was $0.11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, as compared to $0.14 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core sales

Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures (including our non-core product line, Mill Products) and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier comparisons of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions because the nature, size and number of acquisitions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA (as described below in “Covenant Compliance”) is an important measure because, under our credit agreement, our ability to incur certain types of acquisition debt and certain types of subordinated debt, make certain types of acquisitions or asset exchanges, operate our business and make dividends or other distributions, all of which will impact our financial performance, is impacted by our Adjusted EBITDA, as our lenders measure our performance with a net first lien leverage ratio by comparing our senior secured bank indebtedness to our Adjusted EBITDA (see “Covenant Compliance” for additional

Table of Contents

discussion of this ratio, including a reconciliation to our net income). We reported Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 of $92.8 million and net income for the same period of $12.0 million.

Covenant Compliance

Our credit agreement, which governs our senior secured credit facilities, contains, among other provisions, restrictive covenants regarding indebtedness, payments and distributions, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, affiliate transactions, capital expenditures and the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Payment of borrowings under the credit agreement may be accelerated if there is an event of default. Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest when due, a material breach of a representation or warranty, certain non-payments or defaults under other indebtedness, covenant defaults, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. Certain covenants contained in the credit agreement restrict our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions, if we are unable to meet certain maximum net first lien leverage ratios and, with respect to our revolving facility, also require us to remain at or below a maximum net first lien leverage ratio of 7.75 to 1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter (3.86 to 1.0 at June 30, 2014). Failure to comply with this covenant could limit our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to obtain future debt or make acquisitions.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results.

In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions or dispositions to restructurings, and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred.

Table of Contents

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA under our credit agreement as of June 30, 2014 is presented in the table below. However, the results of such calculation could differ in the future based on the different types of adjustments that may be included in such respective calculations at the time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are available cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and borrowing availability under our $265.0 million revolving credit facility and our $100.0 million accounts receivable securitization program.

As of June 30, 2014, we had $311.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $335.1 million of additional borrowing capacity ($235.1 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $100.0 million available under our accounts receivable securitization program). As of June 30, 2014, the available borrowings under our credit facility have been reduced by $29.9 million due to outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2014, we had $339.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $335.9 million of additional borrowing capacity ($235.9 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $100.0 million available under our accounts receivable securitization program). Both our revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization program are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2015 was $6.4 million compared to a use of $27.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014. The increase in operating cash is primarily driven by a decrease in cash interest as a result of the August 2013 refinancing and lower year-over-year cash disbursements related to the February 2013 Zurn brass fitting legal settlement (see Item 1, Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information). The above increases in operating cash flow were partially offset by an increase in working capital (accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable) as a result of timing.

Cash used for investing activities was $36.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2015 compared to a use of $12.2 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014. We invested $8.7 million in capital expenditures in the first three months of fiscal 2015 compared to $7.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014. The use of cash in the first three months of fiscal 2015 also included $27.7 million for the acquisition of Green Turtle (net of cash acquired), as compared to the use of $4.4 million for the acquisition of Klamflex Pipe Couplings Ltd. in the first three months of fiscal 2014. See Item 1, Note 2 Acquisitions for additional information.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2015 compared to a use of $147.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014. The cash provided by financing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2015 consisted of a $4.9 million principal payment on our term loans offset by $4.5 million of other net borrowings. The first three months of fiscal 2015 also includes $1.6 million related to the excess tax benefit on stock option exercises. The cash used by financing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2014 consisted of a $150.0 million prepayment of our then-outstanding term loans associated with the re-pricing of our then-outstanding term loan facility on April 24, 2013, which also included $1.1 million of financing fees paid to lenders. The above items were offset mainly by other net borrowings of debt of $2.8 million (including $2.0 million payment on our term loans).

Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2014 we had $1,972.3 million of total indebtedness outstanding as follows (in millions):



	Total Debt at June 30, 2014		Short-term Debt and Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt		Long-term Portion
Term loan (1)	$	1,917.8	$	19.5	$	1,898.3
New Market Tax Credit (2)	37.4		—		37.4
8.875% senior notes due 2016	1.3		—		1.3
Other (3)	15.8		13.9		1.9
Total	$	1,972.3	$	33.4	$	1,938.9

(1) Includes an unamortized original issue discount of $17.6 million at June 30, 2014.

(2) In connection with the New Market Tax Credit incentive program, we also provided an aggregate $27.6 million in the form of a loan receivable. The aggregate loan receivable is presented within Other Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(3) Includes additional debt at various wholly-owned subsidiaries, comprised primarily of borrowings at foreign subsidiaries and capital lease obligations.

See Item I, Note 11 Long-Term Debt for a description of our outstanding indebtedness.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk during the normal course of business from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps to cover known foreign currency transactions and interest rate fluctuations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to our foreign operations. For our foreign operations, exchange rates impact the U.S. Dollar ("USD") value of our reported earnings, our investments in the subsidiaries and the intercompany transactions with the subsidiaries. See “Risk Factors-Our international operations are subject to uncertainties, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

Approximately 33% of our sales originated outside of the United States in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. As a result, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies against the USD, particularly the Euro, may have a material impact on our reported results. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD at the end of the fiscal period using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Consequently, as the value of the USD changes relative to the currencies of our major markets, our reported results vary.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates also impact the USD amount of our stockholders' equity. The assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the fiscal periods. As of June 30, 2014, stockholders' equity decreased by $1.7 million from March 31, 2014 as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments. If the USD had strengthened by 10% as of June 30, 2014, the result would have decreased stockholders' equity by approximately $45.5 million.

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of these factors could adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts were not accounted for as effective cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) and as such were marked to market through earnings. We believe that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rates would have resulted in a $1.0 million increase in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contacts as of June 30, 2014.

Interest Rate Risk

We utilize a combination of short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations and are exposed to interest rate risk on these debt obligations.

A substantial portion of our indebtedness, including indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities bears interest at rates that fluctuate with changes in certain short-term prevailing interest rates. As of June 30, 2014, our outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility were $1,917.8 million (net of $17.6 million unamortized original issue discount) and were bearing an effective average interest rate of 4.00%, determined as the LIBO rate (subject to a 1% floor) plus 3.00%. During fiscal 2014, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in future cash flows associated with a portion of the variable-rate term loans. The forward-starting interest rate swaps convert $650.0 million of the variable-rate term loans to a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.55% plus the applicable margin (and inclusive of a 1% LIBOR floor). All of the interest rate swaps become effective beginning on September 28, 2015 with a maturity of September 27, 2018.

Our net income would likely be affected by changes in market interest rates on our variable-rate obligations (which comprises approximately 97% of our total indebtedness). As discussed above, our term loan facilities are subject to a 1% LIBOR floor. Therefore, a 100 basis point increase in the June 30, 2014 market interest rate would increase interest expense under the senior secured credit facilities by approximately $2.9 million on an annual basis.

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation as of June 30, 2014, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner allowing timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As such, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the period covered by this report.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
