NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.   Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

References to “Home & Security,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires.

The Company is a leading home and security products company with a portfolio of leading branded products used for residential home repair, remodeling, new construction, security applications and storage.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information included in our annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

2.   Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 clarifies the accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The ASU also clarifies the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The amendment is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 (calendar year 2014 for Home & Security). Early adoption was permitted in the first quarter of 2013 but we decided not to adopt until 2014. We believe that adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

4. Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets (Continued)

 

Amortizable identifiable intangible assets, principally tradenames and customer relationships, are subject to amortization over their estimated useful life, 5 to 30 years, based on the assessment of a number of factors that may impact useful life. These factors include historical and tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion and other relevant factors.

The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization by class of intangible assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

Accumulated amortization prior to the adoption of revised Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requirements for Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Assets.

In December 2012, our Security & Storage business acquired a company for approximately $20 million in cash. Purchase price adjustments and the allocation of the purchase price were finalized in the first quarter of 2013. The December 2012 balance sheet was retrospectively adjusted to reflect the purchase price adjustments in accordance with ASC requirements for Business Combinations, in particular a reduction in goodwill of $5.6 million and an increase in definite-lived intangible assets of $5.9 million. The acquisition was not material for the purposes of supplemental disclosure and does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

4. Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets (Continued)

 

In the first quarter of 2013, no events or circumstances occurred that would have required us to perform interim impairment tests of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Any future reduction in the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived tradenames that were impaired in the fourth quarter of 2012 would result in an impairment charge. The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain events that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Such events may include, but are not limited to, the impact of the economic environment, a material negative change in relationships with significant customers, and strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions. While our cash flow projections used to assess impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets are influenced by a number of variables, they are most significantly influenced by our projection for the recovery of the U.S. home products markets in the next 3 to 5 years. We evaluate our projection of the U.S. home products market periodically and in connection with our annual operating plans finalized in the fourth quarter of each year. The U.S. home products market is highly dependent on the U.S. new home construction. Our projection for the U.S. home products markets is inherently subject to a number of uncertain factors, such as employment, home prices, credit availability, and the rate of home foreclosures. Significant changes in these and other factors could cause us to change our cash flow projections in future periods which could trigger impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets in the period in which such changes occur.

 

5.   External Debt and Financing Arrangements

We have a $650 million committed revolving credit facility, as well as a $350 million term loan, both of which expire in October 2016. On March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our aggregate outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and term loan were $320.0 million. The interest rates under these facilities are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s leverage as measured by a debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (as defined in the agreements governing the facilities). Based upon the Company’s debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, the Company’s borrowing rate could range from LIBOR + 1.0% to LIBOR + 2.0%. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under these facilities.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $6.4 million and $5.5 million of external short-term borrowings outstanding, respectively, comprised of notes payable to banks that are used for general corporate purposes. These amounts pertained to uncommitted bank lines of credit in China and India, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up to $22.7 million, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The weighted-average interest rates on these borrowings were 12.1% and 11.2% in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

6.   Financial Instruments

We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We principally use financial instruments to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodities used as raw materials in our products. The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. In addition, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps.

Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Canadian dollar, the Chinese yuan, the Euro and the Mexican peso. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all of our foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at March 31, 2013 was $197.7 million, representing a net settlement receivable of $1.3 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2013, we estimate that $1.6 million of net foreign currency derivative gains included in other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2013 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

The fair values of derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were:

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges recognized in other income, net, was insignificant.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

   $ 0.7       $ 0.9   

The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. In addition, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value.

ASC requirements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs, the highest priority, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs reflect inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either observable directly or through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability, such as internally-developed valuation models. We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are Level 3.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $320.0 million approximated its fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was determined primarily by using broker quotes, which are level 2 inputs.

8.   Defined Benefit Plans

The components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and postretirement benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Net periodic benefit cost

   $ 0.4      $ 2.3      $ (1.7   $ 1.2   

In the fourth quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013, we amended certain postretirement benefit plans to reduce health benefits for certain current and retired employees. The impact of these changes was a reduction in accrued retiree benefit plans of $29.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $31.6 million in the first quarter of 2013, and we recognized actuarial losses of $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2013. Liability reductions from these plan amendments are recorded as amortization of prior service cost in net income in accordance with accounting requirements. In addition, in the first quarter of 2013, we communicated to certain employees our decision to freeze an hourly pension plan by December 31, 2016. As a result, we remeasured our pension liability, updating our pension measurement assumptions, and recorded a $19.9 million reduction in the liability. The curtailment charge associated with this pension freeze was insignificant. See Note 13, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” for information on the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

9.   Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 31.9% and 32.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate in 2013 was favorably impacted by the tax benefits associated with the extension of the research and development credit under The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, including the full-year credit attributable to 2012, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2013.

It is reasonably possible that, within the next 12 months, total unrecognized tax benefits may decrease in the range of $2 million to $3 million, primarily as a result of the conclusion of pending U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax proceedings.

14.   Contingencies

Litigation

We are defendants in lawsuits associated with the normal conduct of our businesses and operations. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company believes that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested.

Environmental

Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of Home & Security during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. We are involved in remediation activities to clean up hazardous wastes as required by federal and state laws. Liabilities for remediation costs of each site are based on our best estimate of undiscounted future costs, excluding possible insurance recoveries or recoveries from other third parties. Uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites make it difficult to develop estimates of environmental remediation exposures.

 

15.   Subsequent Event

On April 30, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock on all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which will be payable on June 19, 2013 to shareholders of record on May 31, 2013.

On May 2, 2013, the Company announced its entry into an agreement to acquire WoodCrafters Home Products, LLC, a manufacturer of bathroom vanities and tops for a purchase price of approximately $300 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company expects to pay the purchase price using a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions and is expected to occur prior to the end of 2013. An allocation of the purchase price will be completed after asset and liability valuations are finalized. Final adjustments will reflect the fair value assigned to the assets, including intangible assets, and assumed liabilities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, regarding business strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results, based on information available at the time this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or with respect to any document incorporated by reference, available as of the time such document was prepared. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) by our reliance on the North American home improvement, repair and new home construction activity levels, (ii) the North American and larger global economies, (iii) risk associated with entering into potential strategic acquisitions, (iv) our ability to remain innovative and protect our intellectual property, (v) our reliance on key customers and suppliers, (vi) the cost and availability associated with our supply chains and the availability of raw materials, (vii) risk of increases in our postretirement benefit-related costs and funding requirements and (viii) changes in tax, environmental and federal and state laws and industry regulatory standards. These and other factors are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. We undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or changes to future results over time or otherwise, except as required by law.

OVERVIEW

References to “Home & Security,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires. The Company is a leader in home and security products with companies focused on the design, manufacture and sale of market leading branded products in the following categories: kitchen and bath cabinetry, plumbing and accessories, advanced material windows products and entry door systems and security and storage products.

 

17


OVERVIEW (Continued)

 

With a foundation of market-leading brands across a diversified mix of channels, and lean and flexible supply chains, as well as a tradition of strong innovation and customer service, we are focused on outperforming our markets in both growth and returns and driving increased shareholder value. We believe the Company’s track record reflects the long-term attractiveness and potential of our categories and our leading brands. As consumer demand and the housing market improve from current levels, we expect the benefits of operating leverage and strategic spending will help us to substantially improve profitability.

We believe our most attractive opportunities are to invest in profitable organic growth initiatives. In addition, we may invest in add-on acquisitions that leverage our existing brands and infrastructure, and we may undertake share repurchases under our share repurchase program as explained in further detail under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. On April 30, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock on all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which will be payable on June 19, 2013 to shareholders of record on May 31, 2013.

On May 2, 2013, the Company announced its entry into an agreement to acquire WoodCrafters Home Products, LLC, a manufacturer of bathroom vanities and tops for a purchase price of approximately $300 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company expects to pay the purchase price using a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions and is expected to occur prior to the end of 2013.

We expect that the recovery in the U.S. market for our home products from the current low levels may be gradual and uneven. The recovery will largely depend on consumer confidence, employment, home prices and credit availability. Over the long term, we believe that the U.S. home products market will benefit from favorable population and immigration trends, which will drive demand for new housing units, and from aging existing housing stock that will continue to need to be repaired and remodeled.

We remain focused on our initiatives designed to outperform our markets. We believe our strong brand positions across a diversified mix of channels, consumer-focused innovation, flexible and efficient supply chains, and excellent customer service will position our business to perform well in the marketplace. While our markets have started to improve from historic lows, our near term results may be uneven and challenging as consumers remain cautious, particularly for big-ticket repair and remodel purchases such as cabinets and windows. In addition, we may be impacted by fluctuations in raw material and transportation costs, a consumer preference for lower-priced valued-oriented products may persist, and a heavy promotional environment for big-ticket discretionary purchases such as kitchen cabinets may continue through 2013. We strive to offset the potential unfavorable impact of these items with productivity initiatives and price increases.

The following discussion of consolidated results of operations and segment results refers to the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. Consolidated results of operations should be read in conjunction with segment results of operations.

Net Sales

Net sales increased $91.2 million, or 11%. The increase was due to higher sales volume primarily from improved U.S. market conditions for home products, particularly for new construction. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volume of Security & Storage products due to higher customer promotional activity in 2012 for storage products.

Cost of products sold

Cost of products sold increased $37.8 million, or 7%, due to higher sales volume, partially offset by the benefit of productivity improvements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $19.0 million, or 9%, due to higher volume-related expenses and planned increases in strategic spending to support growth initiatives.

 

19


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets decreased $0.8 million due to an identifiable intangible asset that was fully amortized in the second quarter of 2012.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges of $0.9 million and $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to previously announced supply chain initiatives.

Operating income

Operating income increased $35.3 million to $56.6 million, primarily due to higher sales volume from our growth initiatives and improving U.S. home products market conditions.

Interest expense

External interest expense decreased $0.8 million due to lower average external borrowings.

Other income, net

Other income, net, was $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Income taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 31.9% and 32.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate in 2013 was favorably impacted by the tax benefits associated with the extension of the research and development credit under The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, including the full-year credit attributable to 2012, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2013.

Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interest expense was $0.2 million and $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net income attributable to Home & Security

Net income attributable to Home & Security was $37.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $12.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase of $24.8 million was primarily due to higher operating income.

 

20


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

Results By Segment

Kitchen & Bath Cabinetry

Net sales increased $33.8 million, or 11%, due to higher sales volume primarily from improved U.S. market conditions, particularly for new construction. Net sales also benefited from price increases to help mitigate raw material and transportation increases.

Operating income increased $19.6 million to income of $14.3 million due to higher sales volume. Operating income also benefited from price increases and productivity improvements, including cost savings from previously announced restructuring actions. Operating income was unfavorably impacted by increased costs for raw materials (wood-related).

Plumbing & Accessories

Net sales increased $64.4 million, or 26%, due to higher sales volume in the U.S. driven primarily by higher new construction housing starts and improving market conditions, as well as $7 million of higher international sales, primarily in China.

Operating income increased $18.8 million, or 52%, due to higher sales volume. The impact of productivity improvements was offset by planned strategic investments to support long-term growth initiatives.

Advanced Material Windows & Door Systems

Net sales increased $10.8 million, or 10%, due to higher sales volume driven primarily by improved conditions in the U.S. new home construction market. Net sales of door systems grew $9.9 million, or 16%, while net sales of window products increased $0.9 million, or 2%.

The operating loss of $8.5 million was flat compared to 2012. The benefit of higher sales was offset by higher restructuring charges ($0.4 million) and the absence in 2013 of $2.0 million of income in 2012 attributable to a reduction of a contingent consideration liability related to an acquisition.

Security & Storage

Net sales decreased $17.8 million, or 14%. Net sales of storage products were down $16.2 million, or 38%, due to increased retailer-driven promotions in the first quarter of 2012 that did not recur in 2013, while net sales of security products declined $1.6 million, or 2%, due to lower international and commercial security sales.

Operating income increased $0.5 million, or 4%. A net benefit of approximately $3 million of income was realized from lower employee benefit costs as a result of reductions in certain postretirement benefits in our storage product line ($6.7 million gross benefit), partly offset by an environmental charge and higher planned spending on security growth initiatives. Operating income was unfavorably impacted by the adverse impact of lower storage product sales volume.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

Corporate

Corporate expenses increased $3.6 million due to $4.6 million of actuarial losses recognized in the first quarter of 2013 related to a defined benefit plan amendment that required a remeasurement of certain postretirement benefit liabilities.

In future periods the Company may record in the Corporate segment material expense or income associated with actuarial gains and losses arising from periodic remeasurement of our liabilities for defined benefit plans. At a minimum the Company will remeasure its defined benefit plan liabilities in the fourth quarter of each year. Remeasurements due to plan amendments and settlements may also occur in interim periods during the year. Remeasurement of these liabilities attributable to updating our liability discount rates and expected return on assets may, in particular, result in material income or expense recognition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity needs are to support working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures and service indebtedness. Other potential uses of liquidity include paying dividends to stockholders, repurchasing shares of our common stock and financing acquisitions. Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, and availability under our credit agreements. Our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Home & Security. On April 30, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock on all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which will be payable on June 19, 2013 to shareholders of record on May 31, 2013.

On July 25, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $150,000,000 of shares of our outstanding common stock over the three years ending July 25, 2015. In the first quarter of 2013, we repurchased 398,600 shares of our outstanding common stock under the share repurchase program for $13.1 million. As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s total remaining share repurchase authorization was $127,763,963. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

On May 2, 2013, the Company announced its entry into an agreement to acquire WoodCrafters Home Products, LLC, a manufacturer of bathroom vanities and tops for a purchase price of approximately $300 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company expects to pay the purchase price using a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions and is expected to occur prior to the end of 2013.

We periodically review our portfolio of brands and evaluate potential strategic transactions to increase shareholder value. However, we cannot predict whether or when we may enter into acquisitions, joint ventures or dispositions, make any purchases of shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program, or pay dividends, or what impact any such transactions could have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, whether as a result of the issuance of debt or

 

22


equity securities, or otherwise. Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2012 entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

On March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $258.9 million, of which $83.0 million was held at non-U.S. subsidiaries. We manage our global cash requirements considering (i) available funds among the subsidiaries through which we conduct business, (ii) the geographic location of our liquidity needs, and (iii) the cost to access international cash balances. The repatriation of non-U.S. cash balances from certain subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences as we may be required to pay and record income tax expense on those funds to the extent they were previously considered indefinitely reinvested.

We have a $650 million committed revolving credit facility, as well as a $350 million term loan, both of which expire in October 2016. On March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our aggregate outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and term loan were $320.0 million. The interest rates under these facilities are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s leverage as measured by a debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (as defined in the agreements governing the facilities). Based upon the Company’s debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, the Company’s borrowing rate could range from LIBOR + 1.0% to LIBOR + 2.0%. At March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under these facilities.

Cash Flows

Below is a summary of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Net cash used in operating activities was $72.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to cash used of $43.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in cash used of $28.6 million was primarily due to higher incentive compensation and customer program payments in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, partially offset by $24.5 million in higher net income.

Net cash used in investing activities was $14.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $13.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase of $0.8 million was primarily due to higher capital spending, partially offset by the absence of 2012 investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $56.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease of $46.8 million was primarily due to less cash received from stock option exercises ($24.3 million), stock repurchases in 2013 ($13.5 million), and the absence in 2013 of debt issued during the first quarter of 2012 ($20.0 million, net). In addition, in January 2012, the Company made a payment of $6.0 million to Beam Inc. related to the spin-off of Home & Security into an independent, publicly-traded company.

Customer Credit Risk

We routinely grant unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable were $429.1 million and $381.7 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and are recorded at their stated amount less allowances for discounts, doubtful accounts and returns. Allowances for doubtful accounts include provisions for certain customers where a risk of default has been specifically identified, as well as provisions determined on a general formula basis when it is determined that the risk of some default is probable and estimable but cannot yet be associated with specific customers. The assessment of the likelihood of customer defaults is based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, the historical collection experience and existing economic conditions. In accordance with our policy, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $9.7 million and $9.0 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The conditions in the global economy and credit markets may reduce our customers’ ability to access sufficient liquidity and capital to fund their operations and make our estimation of customer defaults inherently uncertain. While we believe current allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate, it is possible that the Company could experience higher levels of customer defaults and bad debt expense in future periods.

Counterparty Risk

The counterparties to our foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts are major financial institutions. Although our theoretical risk is the replacement cost at the then estimated fair value of these instruments, we believe that the risk of incurring losses is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would be immaterial to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The fair value of our derivative assets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of our derivative contracts represents the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices.

Pension Plans

Subsidiaries of Home & Security sponsor their respective defined benefit pension plans that are funded by a portfolio of investments maintained within our benefit plan trust. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of our total pension plan assets was $536.8 million, representing 76% of the accumulated benefit obligation liability. In 2013, we expect to make pension contributions of approximately $35 million. For the foreseeable future, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet the minimum funding that may be required by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

Foreign Exchange

We have investments in various foreign countries, principally Canada, Mexico, China and France. Therefore, changes in the value of the related currencies affect our financial statements when translated into U.S. dollars.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 clarifies the accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The ASU also clarifies the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The amendment is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 (calendar year 2014 for Home & Security). Early adoption was permitted in the first quarter of 2013 but we decided not to adopt until 2014. We believe that adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes in the information provided in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

  (b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

  (a) Other Litigation.

The Company is a defendant in lawsuits associated with the normal conduct of its businesses and operations. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company believes that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and, where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested.

 

  (b) Environmental Matters.

We are subject to laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions relating to environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that our subsidiaries may undertake in the future. In our opinion, however, compliance with current environmental protection laws (before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties) will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

 

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
