Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations, cash flows, capital expenditures, the outcome of pending legal proceedings and claims, goals and objectives for future operations, including descriptions of our business strategies and purchase commitments from customers. These statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “should,” “will” and similar expressions. We base these statements on particular assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience, as well as our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider the information in this report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. In light of these risks and uncertainties, we cannot assure you that the results and events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this report will in fact transpire.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this report because they identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statements. Our operating results may fluctuate significantly and may not meet our expectations or those of securities analysts or investors. The price of our stock would likely decline if this occurs. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our operating results include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

    our ability to maintain profitability in our infotainment segment if there are delays in our product launches which may give rise to significant penalties and increased engineering expense;

 

    the loss of one or more significant customers, or the loss of a significant platform with an automotive customer;

 

    fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the value of the U.S. Dollar and the Euro;

 

    our ability to successfully implement our global footprint initiative, including achieving cost reductions and other benefits in connection with the restructuring of our manufacturing, engineering, procurement and administrative organizations;

 

    fluctuations in the price and supply of raw materials including, without limitation, petroleum, copper, steel, aluminum, synthetic resins, rare metals and rare-earth minerals, or shortages of materials, parts and components;

 

    the inability of our suppliers to deliver products at the scheduled rate and disruptions arising in connection therewith;

 

    our ability to maintain a competitive technological advantage through innovation and leading product designs; and

 

    our failure to maintain the value of our brands and implementing a sufficient brand protection program.

Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. As a result, the foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For additional information regarding certain factors that may cause our actual results to differ from those expected or anticipated see the information under the caption “Risk Factors” which is located in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement (except as required by law). This report also makes reference to our awarded business, which represents the estimated future lifetime net sales for all customers. Our future awarded business does not represent firm customer orders. We report our awarded business primarily based on written award letters from our customers. To validate these awards, we use various assumptions including global vehicle production forecasts, customer take rates for our products, revisions to product life cycle estimates and the impact of annual price reductions and exchange rates, among other factors. These assumptions are updated and reported externally on an annual basis. We update our estimated awarded business quarterly by adding the value of new awards received and subtracting sales recorded during the quarter. These quarterly updates do not include any assumptions for increased take rates, revisions to product life cycle, or any other factors.

HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except per-share data and where otherwise noted)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

References to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company” and “Harman” refer to Harman International Industries, Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 (our “2013 Annual Report”) and do not include all information and footnote disclosures included in our audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 due to seasonal, economic and other factors. Where necessary, information for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to the consolidated financial statement presentation in the current fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2013 Annual Report.

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Comprehensive Income: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which amends Accounting Standards Codification 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The new guidance requires the disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and by net income line item. The disclosure may be provided either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2013. The adoption of the new provisions did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Intangible Assets: In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. The new guidance allows an entity the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, thus necessitating that it perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if the financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. We adopted the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2013. The adoption of the new provisions did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Balance Sheet: In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires companies to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial condition. Companies will be required to provide both net (offset amounts) and gross information in the notes to the financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are offset. The new guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We adopted the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2013. The adoption of the new provisions did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Income Taxes: In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. We expect to adopt the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2014. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Discontinued Operations: In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which change the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. The new guidance also requires several new disclosures. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2015. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Note 3 – Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We reserve an estimated amount for accounts receivable that may not be collected. Methodologies for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts are based primarily on specific identification of uncollectible accounts. Historical collection rates and customer credit worthiness are considered in determining specific reserves. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we had $10.7 million and $11.2 million, respectively, reserved for possible uncollectible accounts receivable.

Note 7 – Earnings Per Share

We apply the two-class method when computing earnings per share, which requires that net income per share for each class of shares entitled to dividends be calculated assuming all of our net income is distributed as dividends to these shareholders based on their contractual rights.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock outstanding:

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are considered participating securities, as defined under GAAP, and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Certain options were outstanding and not included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share because the assumed exercise of these options would have been antidilutive. Options to purchase 296,317 and 1,245,003 shares of our common stock were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would have been antidilutive. In addition, no restricted shares and restricted stock units that were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they did not have an antidilutive impact.

Options to purchase 756,044 and 1,339,085 shares of our common stock were outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would have been antidilutive. In addition zero and 59,161 restricted shares and restricted stock units were outstanding during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they also would have been antidilutive.

In October 2012, we repaid our $400.0 million of 1.25 percent convertible senior notes due October 15, 2012 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”), and therefore the Convertible Senior Notes had no impact on our calculation of earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, the conversion terms of the Convertible Senior Notes would have affected the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the price of our common stock exceeded the conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes was approximately $104 per share, subject to adjustment in specified circumstances as described in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes, as amended (the “Indenture”). Upon conversion, a holder of the Convertible Senior Notes would have received an amount in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes equal to the lesser of $1,000 or the conversion value of the Convertible Senior Notes, determined in the manner set forth in the Indenture. If the conversion value exceeded $1,000, we would have delivered $1,000 in cash and, at our option, cash or common stock or a combination of cash and common stock for the conversion price in excess of $1,000. The conversion option would not have resulted in an adjustment to net income in calculating diluted earnings per share. The dilutive effect of the conversion option was calculated using the treasury stock method. Therefore, conversion settlement shares would have been included in diluted shares outstanding if the price of our common stock exceeded the conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes. Refer to Note 9 – Debt for more information.

Note 8 – Goodwill

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded $4.4 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of goodwill in our Professional segment associated with the acquisitions of Duran Audio BV (“Duran”) and Martin. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded $57.7 million of goodwill, in each period, in our Professional segment associated with the acquisition of Martin, and zero and $0.6 million, respectively, of goodwill in our Infotainment segment associated with the acquisition of certain assets of Interchain Solutions Private Limited (“Interchain”). Refer to Note 23 – Acquisitions for more information.

We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The contingent purchase price associated with the acquisition of innovative Systems GmbH (“IS”) is calculated pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the parties. Certain terms of the agreement are currently subject to a dispute between the parties and the matter has been submitted to arbitration. On November 5, 2013, the arbitration panel reached a partial judgment on some of the disputed matters covering the period from February 2009 through January 2012 in the amount of €16.3 million. We are contesting the enforcement of the partial award. Until such time as the dispute is resolved, we cannot calculate the contingent purchase price.

Note 9 – Debt

Short Term Borrowings

At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we had $15.5 million and $4.9 million of short-term borrowings outstanding, respectively. At March 31, 2014, we maintained lines of credit of $63.7 million primarily in Germany, Hungary, China, Brazil, the U.S., India and Denmark. At June 30, 2013, we maintained lines of credit of $55.7 million primarily in Denmark, Hungary, the U.S., Austria, Brazil and India.

We classify our debt based on the contractual maturity dates of the underlying debt instruments. We defer costs associated with debt issuance over the applicable term of the debt. These costs are amortized to Interest expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

New Credit Agreement

On October 10, 2012, we and Harman Holding GmbH & Co. KG (“Harman KG”), entered into a Multi-Currency Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a group of banks. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 there were no outstanding borrowings and approximately $4.5 million and $6.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively, under the new revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Credit Facility”) and $262.5 million and $285.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the term facility (the “Term Facility”), respectively, of which $33.7 million and $30.0 million, respectively, is included in our Condensed Consolidated

Balance Sheet as Current portion of long-term debt and $228.8 million and $255.0 million, respectively, is classified as Long-term debt. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, unused available credit under the New Revolving Credit Facility was $745.5 million and $743.2 million, respectively. If we do not meet the forecast in our budgets, we could violate our debt covenants and, absent a waiver from our lenders or an amendment to the New Credit Agreement, we could be in default under the New Credit Agreement. As a result, our debt under the New Credit Agreement could become due, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all the covenants of the New Credit Agreement.

Long-Term Debt and Current Portion of Long-Term-Debt

Interest expense is reported net of interest income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest expense, net was $2.1 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross interest expense was $2.5 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The non-cash portion of gross interest expense was $0.5 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, associated with the amortization of debt issuance costs on the New Credit Agreement. The cash portion of gross interest expense was $2.0 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest income was $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Interest expense, net was $5.9 million and $11.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross interest expense was $7.4 million and $13.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The non-cash portion of gross interest expense was $1.6 million and $7.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, associated with the amortization of debt issuance costs on the New Credit Agreement in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and the amortization of the debt discount on the Convertible Senior Notes and the amortization of debt issuance costs on the New Credit Agreement, the Convertible Senior Notes and the Multi-Currency Credit Agreement entered into on December 1, 2010 in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The cash portion of gross interest expense was $5.8 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest income was $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $22.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 23.3 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher income in the U.S. that is subject to a tax rate higher than those in our key foreign jurisdictions and the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit provision of the U.S. tax law that was recorded as a discrete tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $64.5 million and $34.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 25.2 percent and 20.0 percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher income in the U.S. that is subject to a tax rate higher than those in our key foreign jurisdictions and discrete tax benefits that were recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 related to the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit provision and favorable tax rate changes in certain key jurisdictions.

As of March 31, 2014 unrecognized tax benefits and the related interest were $37.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, all of which would affect the tax rate if recognized. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded tax reserves on uncertain tax positions in the amount of $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded additional interest expense on uncertain tax positions of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Note 11 – Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding. We are authorized to issue 5 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value.

Common Stock

We have 200 million authorized shares of common stock, $0.01 par value. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we had 98,351,429 and 97,044,572 shares issued; 30,260,202 and 28,992,092 shares in treasury stock and 68,091,227 and 68,052,480 shares outstanding (net of treasury stock), respectively.

Share Buy-Back Program

On October 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock (the “Buyback Program”). The Buyback Program allowed us to purchase shares of our common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions. We entered into an agreement with an external broker that provided the structure under which the program was facilitated, which expired on October 25, 2012. The Buyback Program was set to expire on October 26, 2012, but on October 23, 2012 our Board of Directors approved an extension of the Buyback Program through October 25, 2013. On June 19, 2013 we entered into a new agreement with an external broker which expired on October 25, 2013 (the “10b5-1 Plan”). On June 26, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of our common stock (the “New Buyback Program”) which expires on June 26, 2014. On August 26, 2013 we amended the 10b5-1 Plan to incorporate both board authorizations up until each of their respective expiration dates (the “Amended 10b5-1 Plan”). The Amended 10b5-1 Plan expires on June 25, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we did not repurchase any shares. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we repurchased 1,268,110 shares at a cost of $84.4 million for a total cumulative buyback of 4,660,385 shares at a cost of $213.8 million under the Buyback Program and the New Buyback Program.

The Buyback Program was completed and therefore no additional shares may be repurchased under such program. The New Buyback Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We will determine the timing and the amount of any repurchases based on an evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors.

Note 12 – Share-Based Compensation

On December 7, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), our shareholders approved the 2012 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which is effective through December 7, 2021. As of the Effective Date, no further grants may be granted under our former plan, the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2002 Plan” and together with the 2012 Plan, the “Plans”). On December 4, 2013, we amended the 2012 Plan to (1) increase the number of shares available under the 2012 Plan for the grant of future awards by 2,869,821 shares to an aggregate amount not to exceed 7,269,821 shares of our common stock and (2) modified certain share counting provisions related to the definition of a full-value grant from 1.71 to 1.5 (“Full-Value Grant”). The 2012 Plan provides for two types of awards: (1) a Full-Value Grant under which one award shall reduce the shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan by 1.71 shares if granted prior to December 4, 2013 or 1.5 shares if granted on or after December 4, 2013, and (2) an option or stock appreciation right grant, under which one award shall reduce the shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan by one share. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, 452,771 options to purchase shares of our common stock, 448,630 stock-settled restricted stock units, 613 cash-settled restricted stock units and 5,515 cash-settled stock appreciation rights were granted under the 2012 Plan. As of March 31, 2014, there were 4,523,434 shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan.

Share-based compensation expense, net was $7.1 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was $22.4 million and $12.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for share-based compensation arrangements was $1.5 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was $5.3 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Fair Value Determination

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses the assumptions noted in the following table.

 

     Nine Months Ended March 31,  
     2014     2013  

Expected volatility

     32.7% - 55.4     41.8% - 59.3

Weighted-average volatility

     45.9     49.9

Expected annual dividend

   $ 1.20      $ 0.60   

Expected term (in years)

     2.06 - 4.66        2.32 - 4.49   

Risk-free rate

     0.3% - 1.8     0.2% - 0.7

Groups of option holders (directors, executives and non-executives) that have similar historical behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. Expected volatilities are based on historical closing prices of our common stock over the expected option term. We use historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived using the option valuation model and represents the estimated period of time from the date of grant that the option is expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $26.27 and $14.22, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $20.76 and $15.80, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $12.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $30.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Modification of Certain Stock Option Awards

Prior to fiscal year 2011, certain of the award agreements under the 2002 Plan stated that vested options not exercised were forfeited upon termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability. However, such award agreements provided that the Compensation and Option Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation and Option Committee”) could extend the time period to exercise vested options 90 days beyond the employment termination date for certain employees. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Compensation and Option Committee used this authority. This action represented a modification of the terms or conditions of an equity award and therefore was accounted for as an exchange of the original award for a new award. Incremental share-based compensation cost for the excess of the fair value of the new award over the fair value of the original award was immaterial.

Restricted Stock Units

In the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we granted 130,616 restricted stock units with earnings per share (“EPS”) performance conditions, and 130,641 restricted stock units with market conditions under the 2012 Plan. Additionally, both the restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions and the restricted stock units with market conditions, secondarily vest based on the achievement of a return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance condition, specifically, the achievement of a certain average ROIC level over fiscal years 2014 through 2016. The restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on the achievement of certain cumulative EPS levels from fiscal years 2014 through 2016. The restricted stock units with market conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on a comparison of our total shareholder return (“TSR”) to the TSR of a selected peer group of publicly listed multinational companies. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units with market conditions of $6.0 million was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the three-year vesting period based on the grant date fair value and our assessment of the probability that the applicable targets will be met for the performance conditions, which is reassessed each reporting period.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we granted 97,733 restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions, 97,733 restricted stock units with ROIC performance conditions and 97,733 restricted stock units with market conditions, under the 2012 Plan. The restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on the achievement of certain cumulative EPS levels from fiscal years 2013 through 2015. The restricted stock units with ROIC conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on the achievement of a certain average ROIC level over fiscal years 2013 through 2015. The restricted stock units with market conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on a comparison of our TSR to the TSR of a selected peer group of publicly listed multinational companies. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units with market conditions of $3.7 million was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense, for both the restricted stock units with performance conditions and the restricted stock units with market conditions, is recognized ratably over the three-year vesting period based on the grant date fair value and our assessment of the probability that the applicable targets will be met for awards with performance conditions, which is reassessed each reporting period.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we also granted 176,621 and 243,622 time-vested restricted stock units, respectively, without performance or market conditions that cliff-vest three years from the date of grant, and 10,752 and 21,840 time-vested restricted stock units, respectively, without performance or market conditions that vest ratably over the three-year vesting period, under the 2012 Plan.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we granted 613 and 970 cash-settled restricted stock units, respectively, under the 2012 Plan. These restricted stock units are accounted for as liability awards and are recorded at the fair value at the end of the reporting period in accordance with their vesting schedules. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, none of these restricted stock units were settled. At March 31, 2014, 2,632 cash-settled restricted stock units were outstanding.

In January and September 2008, we granted 34,608 and 28,344 cash-settled restricted stock units, respectively, outside the 2002 Plan. These restricted stock units were accounted for as liability awards and were recorded at the fair value at the end of the reporting period in accordance with their vesting schedules. At March 31, 2014, no cash-settled restricted stock units, granted outside the 2002 Plan, were outstanding. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, no cash-settled restricted stock units granted outside the 2002 Plan, were settled. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, 1,608 of these restricted stock unites were settled, at a cost of $0.1 million.

Note 13 – Derivatives

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these risks through our regular operating and financial activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative instruments are utilized to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We enter into limited types of derivative contracts, including foreign currency spot and forward as well as interest rate swap contracts, to manage foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Our primary foreign currency exposure is the Euro. The fair market values of all our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and currency rates and are designed so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes.

We record all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these derivative contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges, whereby gains and losses are reported within AOCI in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, until the underlying transaction occurs, at which point they are reported in earnings as gains and losses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain of our derivatives, for which hedge accounting is not applied, are effective as economic hedges. These derivative contracts are required to be recognized each period at fair value, with gains and losses reported in earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and therefore do result in some level of earnings volatility. The level of volatility will vary with the type and amount of derivative hedges outstanding, as well as fluctuations in the currency and interest rate markets during the period. The related cash flow impacts of all our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.

Derivatives, by their nature, involve varying degrees of market and credit risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange and interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. We do not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments, because these transactions are executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions. Furthermore, our policy is to contract only with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposure to such counterparties.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

We use foreign exchange contracts to hedge the price risk associated with foreign denominated forecasted purchases of materials used in our manufacturing process and to manage currency risk associated with operating costs in certain operating units, including foreign currency denominated intercompany loans and other foreign currency denominated assets. These contracts generally mature within two to five years. The majority of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

We designate a portion of our foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated purchases. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we had $1,569.6 million and $479.8 million of forward contracts maturing through June 2018 and June 2014, respectively. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we changed our election to now include forward points in our effectiveness assessment. Prior to this change, the changes in fair value for these contracts were calculated on a spot to spot rate basis. Effective September 30, 2013, the changes in fair value for these contracts are calculated on a forward to forward rate basis. These changes in fair value are reported in AOCI and are reclassified to either Cost of sales or Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), depending on the nature of the underlying asset or liability that is being hedged, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, in the period or periods during which the underlying transaction occurs.

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items because the amounts and the maturities of the derivatives approximate those of the forecasted exposures. Any ineffective portion of the derivative is recognized in the current period in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, in the same line item in which the foreign currency gain or loss on the underlying hedged transaction was recorded. We recognized $0.7 million and zero of ineffectiveness in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $1.9 million and zero of ineffectiveness in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Prior to September 30, 2013, all components of each derivative’s gain or loss, with the exception of forward points (see below), were included in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness. Effective September 30, 2013, we changed our election and now include forward points in our effectiveness assessment. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the fair values of these contracts were a net liability of $28.7 million and a net asset of $11.6 million, respectively. The amount associated with these hedges that is expected to be reclassified from AOCI to earnings within the next 12 months is a loss of $11.6 million.

Prior to September 30, 2013 we elected to exclude forward points from the effectiveness assessment. At the end of the reporting period, we calculated the excluded amount, which is the fair value relating to the change in forward points that is recorded in current earnings as Foreign exchange losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $0.6 million and $1.6 million of net gains related to the change in forward points, respectively.

Economic Hedges

When hedge accounting is not applied to derivative contracts, or after former cash flow hedges have been de-designated as balance sheet hedges, we recognize the gain or loss on the associated contracts directly in current period earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as either Foreign exchange losses, net or Cost of sales according to the underlying exposure. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we had $417.8 million and $330.9 million, respectively, of forward contracts maturing through September 2014 and October 2013, respectively, in various currencies to hedge foreign currency denominated intercompany loans and other foreign currency denominated assets. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the fair values of these contracts were net liabilities of $4.5 million and net assets of $1.2 million, respectively. Adjustments to the carrying value of the foreign currency forward contracts offset the gains and losses on the underlying loans and other foreign denominated assets in Foreign exchange losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We had one interest rate swap contract which matured on September 30, 2013 with a notional amount of $19.7 million at June 30, 2013, in order to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively convert interest on an operating lease from a variable rate to a fixed rate. The objective of the swap was to offset changes in rent expenses caused by interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap contract was designated as a cash flow hedge. At the end of each reporting period, the discounted fair value of the swap contract was calculated and recorded in AOCI and reclassified to rent expense, within SG&A in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, in the then current period. If the hedge was determined to be ineffective, the ineffective portion would have been reclassified from AOCI and recorded as rent expense, within SG&A. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized an immaterial amount of ineffectiveness in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. All components of the derivative were included in the assessment of the hedges’ effectiveness.

Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value instruments, fair value is defined as the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which the asset or liability would transact in and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Under fair value accounting guidance, there is a three-tier fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1:    Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability.
 

Level 2:

   Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 

Level 3:

   Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions in measuring the asset or liability at fair value.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets and liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data, and in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.

The following table provides the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis.

Table of Contents

The following describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Short-Term Investments and Available-for-Sale Securities: Short-term investments and available-for-sale securities are classified as Level 1 as the fair value was determined from market quotes obtained from financial institutions in active markets.

Foreign Exchange Contracts: We use foreign exchange contracts to hedge market risks relating to possible adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our foreign exchange contracts were measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. Such inputs include foreign currency exchange spot and forward rates for similar transactions in actively quoted markets.

Interest Rate Swap: We use an interest rate swap to hedge market risk relating to possible adverse changes in interest rates. We have elected to use the income approach to value our interest rate swap contract, which uses observable Level 2 inputs at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). Level 2 inputs for the swap contract valuation are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR, for the first two years) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates) at commonly quoted intervals, and credit risk. These key inputs, including the LIBOR cash rates for very short-term, futures rates for up to two years, and LIBOR swap rates beyond the derivative maturity are used to construct the swap yield curve and discount the future cash flows to present value at the measurement date. If the interest rate swap contract is a derivative asset, a credit default swap basis available at commonly quoted intervals can be collected from Bloomberg and applied to all cash flows. If the interest rate swap contract is a derivative liability, we are required to reflect potential credit risk to lenders using a borrowing rate specific to our company. Refer to Note 13 – Derivatives, for more information regarding our derivative financial instruments.

Pension Assets: Our pension assets have been valued using Level 1 inputs as quoted prices in an active market exist for these assets. Refer to Note 17 – Retirement Benefits for more information.

Contingent Consideration: Substantially all of our contingent consideration is associated with an earn-out related to our acquisition of Duran. We use a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach (a form of the income approach) in determining the fair value of the contingent consideration. The principal inputs to the approach include our expectations of Duran gross profit related to the sale of certain specified products (“Duran Gross Profit”), through June 30, 2020 and a discount rate that begins with our weighted average cost of capital and adjusts for the risks associated with the underlying Duran Gross Profit outcome, the functional form of the payout and our credit risk associated with making the payment. Refer to Note 23 – Acquisitions for more information on the contingent consideration.

We also have contingent consideration associated with an earn-out related to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Interchain. We calculate the contingent consideration based on the probability of actual revenue performance. Given the use of significant inputs that are not observable in the market, the contingent liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we revised our estimate of the contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of MWM Acoustics LLC and certain related entities (“MWM Acoustics”) and reduced the liability by zero and $12.5 million, respectively, which was recognized within SG&A in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. These assets can include loans and long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when they are held for sale, impaired loans that have been reduced based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, cost and equity method investments and long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are impaired and the remeasurement of retained investments in formerly consolidated subsidiaries upon a change in control that results in deconsolidation of a subsidiary if we sell a controlling interest and retain a noncontrolling stake in the entity. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired and retained investments are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.

The following table provides the carrying value for assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis, all of which are measured under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and the losses recorded during the periods presented. There were no losses recognized in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The following describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure financial and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Equity Method Investments: Equity method investments are generally valued using a discounted cash flow model, comparative market multiples or a combination of both approaches as appropriate. These investments are generally included in Level 3.

Goodwill: Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. This asset is included in Level 3. Refer to Note 8 – Goodwill in our 2013 Annual Report for more information.

Long-lived Assets: Long-lived assets include Property, plant and equipment, net and intangible assets, and are valued using the best information available, including quoted market prices or market prices for similar assets when available or internal cash flow estimates discounted at an appropriate interest rate or independent appraisals, as appropriate. For real estate, cash flow estimates are based on current market estimates that reflect current and projected lease profiles and available industry information about expected trends in rental, occupancy and capitalization rates. These assets are generally included in Level 3.

Note 16 – Restructuring Program

Our restructuring program that is designed to improve our global footprint, cost structure, technology portfolio, human resources and internal processes continues.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we continued to refine and expand on activities launched in prior years. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we launched additional programs to drive functional efficiencies and improve our cost structure and global footprint. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, significant new programs were launched focused on achieving further productivity improvements by consolidating operations and relocating certain functions to lower cost countries.

A summary and components of our restructuring initiatives are presented below and include accruals for new programs as well as revisions to estimates, both increases and decreases, to programs accrued in prior periods:

Note 17 – Retirement Benefits

Plan Descriptions

Retirement savings plan

We provide a Retirement Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”) for certain employees in the United States. Under the Savings Plan, employees may contribute up to 50 percent of their pretax compensation subject to certain limitations. Each business unit will make a safe harbor non-elective contribution in an amount equal to three percent of a participant’s eligible contribution. Each business unit may also make a matching contribution of up to three percent (50 percent on the first six percent of an employee’s tax-deferred contribution). Matching contributions vest at a rate of 25 percent for each year of service with the employer, beginning with the second year of service.

Pension benefits

We provide defined pension benefits to certain eligible employees. The measurement date used for determining pension benefits is the last day of our fiscal year, June 30th. We have certain business units in Europe and Asia that maintain defined benefit pension plans for many of our current and former employees. The coverage provided and the extent to which the retirees’ share in the cost of the program vary by business unit. Generally, plan benefits are based on age, years of service and average compensation during the final years of service. In the United States, we have a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) that provides retirement, death and termination benefits, as defined in the SERP, to certain key executives designated by our Board of Directors. The majority of our defined benefit plans do not have contractual or statutory provisions which specify minimum funding requirements. We are in compliance with all existing contractual obligations and statutory provisions.

The SERP is an unfunded plan for tax purposes and under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) all obligations arising under the SERP are payable from our general assets. To assist in the funding of the benefits under the SERP, we maintain assets in an irrevocable rabbi trust whereby the use of these assets is restricted to funding our future benefit obligations under the SERP. These assets are not plan assets of the SERP, therefore, in the event of bankruptcy, the assets become unrestricted and the SERP would become a general creditor of our company. The assets and liabilities, and earnings and expenses, of the rabbi trust are consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, there were $54.8 million and $54.5 million, respectively, of total assets included in the rabbi trust of which $15.7 million and $16.3 million, respectively, consist of cash and $39.1 million and $38.2 million, respectively, consist of the cash surrender value of life insurance policies.

Note 20 – Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 2014, we were subject to legal claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including the matters described below. The outcome of these legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty; however, management, based upon advice from legal counsel, believes such actions are either without merit or will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation

On October 1, 2007, a purported class action lawsuit was filed by Cheolan Kim (the “Kim Plaintiff”) against Harman and certain of our officers in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the “Court”) seeking compensatory damages and costs on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between April 26, 2007 and September 24, 2007 (the “Class Period”). The original complaint alleged claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

The complaint alleged that the defendants omitted to disclose material adverse facts about Harman’s financial condition and business prospects. The complaint contended that had these facts not been concealed at the time the merger agreement with Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co. and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners was entered into, there would not have been a merger agreement, or it would have been at a much lower price, and the price of our common stock therefore would not have been artificially inflated during the Class Period. The Kim Plaintiff alleged that, following the reports that the proposed merger was not going to be completed, the price of our common stock declined, causing the plaintiff class significant losses.

On November 30, 2007, the Boca Raton General Employees’ Pension Plan filed a purported class action lawsuit against Harman and certain of our officers in the Court seeking compensatory damages and costs on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between April 26, 2007 and September 24, 2007. The allegations in the Boca Raton complaint are essentially identical to the allegations in the original Kim complaint, and like the original Kim complaint, the Boca Raton complaint alleges claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

On January 16, 2008, the Kim Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint, which extended the Class Period through January 11, 2008, contended that, in addition to the violations alleged in the original complaint, Harman also violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by “knowingly failing to disclose “significant problems” relating to its PND sales forecasts, production, pricing, and inventory” prior to January 14, 2008. The amended complaint claimed that when “Defendants revealed for the first time on January 14, 2008 that shifts in PND sales would adversely impact earnings per share by more than $1.00 per share in fiscal 2008,” that led to a further decline in our share value and additional losses to the plaintiff class.

On February 15, 2008, the Court ordered the consolidation of the Kim action with the Boca Raton action, the administrative closing of the Boca Raton action, and designated the short caption of the consolidated action as In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, civil action no. 1:07-cv-01757 (RWR). That same day, the Court appointed the Arkansas Public Retirement System as lead plaintiff (“Lead Plaintiff”) and approved the law firm Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld and Toll, P.L.L.C. to serve as lead counsel.

On March 24, 2008, the Court ordered, for pretrial management purposes only, the consolidation of Patrick Russell v. Harman International Industries, Incorporated, et al. with In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation.

On May 2, 2008, Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated class action complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint, which extended the Class Period through February 5, 2008, contended that Harman and certain of our officers and directors violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by issuing false and misleading disclosures regarding our financial condition in fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2008. In particular, the Consolidated Complaint alleged that defendants knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose material adverse facts about MyGIG radios, personal navigation devices and our capital expenditures. The Consolidated Complaint alleged that when Harman’s true financial condition became known to the market, the price of our common stock declined significantly, causing losses to the plaintiff class.

On July 3, 2008, defendants moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint in its entirety. Lead Plaintiff opposed the defendants’ motion to dismiss on September 2, 2008, and defendants filed a reply in further support of their motion to dismiss on October 2, 2008.

On April 12, 2012, In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, civil action no. 1:07-cv-01757 (D.D.C.) was reassigned to Judge Rudolph Contreras while Patrick Russell v. Harman International Industries, Incorporated, et al. remained before Judge Richard W. Roberts.

On September 5, 2012, the Court heard oral arguments on defendants’ motion to dismiss. At the request of the Court, on September 24, 2012, each side submitted a supplemental briefing on defendants’ motion to dismiss. On January 17, 2014, the Court granted a motion to dismiss, without prejudice, the In Re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation.

Patrick Russell v. Harman International Industries, Incorporated, et al.

Patrick Russell (the “Russell Plaintiff”) filed a complaint on December 7, 2007 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and an amended purported putative class action complaint on June 2, 2008 against Harman and certain of our officers and directors alleging violations of ERISA and seeking, on behalf of all participants in and beneficiaries of the Savings Plan, compensatory damages for losses to the Savings Plan as well as injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, restitution, and other monetary relief. The amended complaint alleged that from April 26, 2007 to the present defendants failed to prudently and loyally manage the Savings Plan’s assets, thereby breaching their fiduciary duties in violation of ERISA by causing the Savings Plan to invest in our common stock notwithstanding that the stock allegedly was “no longer a prudent investment for the Participants’ retirement savings.” The amended complaint further claimed that, during the Class Period, defendants failed to monitor the Savings Plan’s fiduciaries, failed to provide the Savings Plan’s fiduciaries with, and to disclose to the Savings Plan’s participants, adverse facts regarding Harman and our businesses and prospects. The Russell Plaintiff also contended that defendants breached their duties to avoid conflicts of interest and to serve the interests of participants in and beneficiaries of the Savings Plan with undivided loyalty. As a result of these alleged fiduciary breaches, the amended complaint asserted that the Savings Plan had “suffered substantial losses, resulting in the depletion of millions of dollars of the retirement savings and anticipated retirement income of the Savings Plan’s Participants.”

On March 24, 2008, the Court ordered, for pretrial management purposes only, the consolidation of Patrick Russell v. Harman International Industries, Incorporated, et al. with In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in its entirety on August 5, 2008. The Russell Plaintiff opposed the defendants’ motion to dismiss on September 19, 2008, and defendants filed a reply in further support of their motion to dismiss on October 20, 2008. On May 22, 2013, the District Court dismissed the complaint in its entirety. The Russell Plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal but no briefing schedule has been set by the Court.

Infotainment Supply Arrangements

We have arrangements with our infotainment customers to provide products that meet predetermined technical specifications and delivery dates. In the event that we do not satisfy the performance obligations under these arrangements, we may be required to indemnify the customer. We accrue for any loss that we expect to incur under these arrangements when that loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we did not incur any costs relating to delayed delivery of product to an infotainment customer. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized a gain of $6.1 million relating to losses that we no longer expect to incur. An inability to meet performance obligations on infotainment platforms to be delivered in future periods could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in future periods.

Customs NAFTA Preferential Tariff Treatment

We have submitted a prior disclosure (“Prior Disclosure”) related to our compliance with U.S. Customs regulations for our fiscal years 2008 through 2012. As we implement our corrective actions, we are in the process of submitting updates to the Prior Disclosure quantifying our compliance through June 30, 2014. This Prior Disclosure and the related updates address several areas of review including our compliance with (a) the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”), (b) classification, (c) quantity, and (d) valuation, as defined by U.S. Customs. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we have estimated that our potential liability including interest related to this Prior Disclosure and the related updates is approximately $21 million and $27 million, respectively, which has been accrued for in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Approximately $8 million of payments have been remitted during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, as discussed in more detail below.

We regularly import goods that qualify for preferential duty claims pursuant to NAFTA. NAFTA requires that an importer have a valid NAFTA Certificate of Origin in its possession at the time it makes a preferential duty claim. Our evaluation of our compliance with the NAFTA area of review has preliminarily determined that a number of preferential duty claims were made without first obtaining the required NAFTA certificate. U.S. Customs regulations, however, permit discretion to waive this requirement if the imported goods qualify for NAFTA preferential tariff treatment. We were advised in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 that U.S. Customs has changed its internal practice and now intends to restrict the exercise of this discretion in this area. We believe that we will ultimately be able to demonstrate that a substantial amount of the goods imported qualified for NAFTA preferential tariff treatment. We intend to vigorously pursue a waiver of the NAFTA certificate requirement to minimize the duty and interest paid related to these claims, however, there is no assurance that we will prevail in obtaining this waiver. As of March 31, 2014, our current estimate, including interest, of goods imported that do not qualify for NAFTA preferential tariff treatment is approximately $9 million, which, after deducting remitted payments is a component of the accruals referred to above. In October 2013, we submitted our Prior Disclosure supplement relating to our review of our compliance with NAFTA and remitted payment of approximately $6 million in November 2013. In December 2013, we submitted an additional Prior Disclosure supplement addressing other areas of our review and as a result remitted payment of approximately $2 million in January 2014. We expect this Prior Disclosure and the related updates to be completed by June 2014.

Note 21 – Related Party Transactions

In December 2009, we entered into a three-year agreement for engineering and software development services with Neusoft Corporation (“Neusoft”), a Shanghai exchange listed technology solutions provider. A member of our Board of Directors is the Chairman and CEO of Neusoft. On April 20, 2010, our subsidiary, IS entered into an asset purchase and business transfer agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Neusoft Technology Solutions GmbH (“Neusoft Technology”), which is a subsidiary of Neusoft, for the sale of certain tangible assets located at IS’s facility in Hamburg, Germany. This transaction closed on June 1, 2010. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, IS and Neusoft Technology entered into a five-year agreement for engineering and software development services related to IS’s vehicle navigation business (the “Services Agreement”). Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, IS transferred at closing certain tangible assets and employment relationships to Neusoft Technology and received consideration of €6.0 million. Our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Harman Becker Automotive Systems GmbH (“HBAS”) and Neusoft Europe AG, a subsidiary of Neusoft, are guarantors under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement.

Table of Contents

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we entered into a contract with Neusoft to develop certain software to be integrated into certain infotainment platforms for a customer. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, we entered into a separate contract with Neusoft to develop digital map databases. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we have paid Neusoft approximately $10.5 million (€7.6 million) and $7.7 million (€5.8 million), respectively, which we have classified as a Current asset in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon acceptance of the purchased software, which we expect to occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the asset will be reclassified as capitalized software and will be amortized over the future revenue stream of the products to which it relates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred total expenses of $6.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for engineering and software development services with Neusoft Technology and Neusoft. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred total expenses of $22.4 million and $19.3 million, respectively, for engineering and software development services with Neusoft Technology and Neusoft.

In May 2013, we entered into a joint-venture agreement with Neusoft to establish a Chinese foreign entity joint venture named Harman Neusoft Automotive Infotech (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (the “Joint Venture”). The purpose of the Joint Venture is to develop, manufacture, distribute and sell car aftermarket products including, without limitation, car aftermarket audio speakers, amplifiers and head units with or without navigation and telematics features and to provide relevant technical support and services.

The total investment amount of the Joint Venture is $10.0 million and the registered capital is $7.0 million. We will contribute 60 percent and Neusoft will contribute 40 percent of the registered capital. The Joint Venture was officially approved by the Chinese government in December 2013. We are still in the process of setting up the Joint Venture’s infrastructure. We expect to begin funding our share of the registered capital in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, there was no financial activity in the Joint Venture. The operating results of the Joint Venture will be included in our consolidated financial statements as a non-controlling interest.

Note 22 – Transfer of Ownership of Manufacturing Facility

On April 10, 2013 (the “Schaidt Agreement Date”), HBAS entered into an agreement to transfer the ownership of an automotive manufacturing plant in Germany to a third party, Schaidt KG. Schaidt KG will manufacture and supply products for HBAS based on HBAS’s orders. As consideration for the assumption by Schaidt KG of certain of HBAS’s obligations, HBAS has agreed to pay Schaidt KG €41.1 million, or approximately $53.5 million, plus a bonus of €4.0 million, or approximately $5.2 million, if Schaidt KG meets certain supply obligations, as defined in the agreement. We have determined that the transfer of the manufacturing plant assets cannot be accounted for as a sale since Schaidt KG does not have adequate initial or ongoing investment in the manufacturing plant, and because we will maintain a level of continued involvement such that the risks of ownership have not transferred.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, approximately €3.2 million, or approximately $4.4 million, of previously accrued indemnification payments were made. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, no further expenses were recognized related to our payment obligations that have been made or which are deemed probable of being made to Schaidt KG to indemnify them for their assumption of certain of our obligations. Approximately €16.7 million, or approximately $23.0 million of accrued indemnification payments are expected to be paid over the next two years and are accrued as accrued liabilities or other non-current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2014, based on the expected timing. We have revised our estimated useful life of the transferred manufacturing assets to accelerate the depreciation over the expected term of the manufacturing arrangement. Approximately €1.0 million, or $1.4 million, and €3.1 million, or $4.3 million, of accelerated depreciation was recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. As a result, the manufacturing plant assets will be included in our condensed consolidated financial statements indefinitely from the Schaidt Agreement Date forward unless future circumstances warrant a change.

Note 23 – Acquisitions

Acquisition of Duran Audio BV

On October 17, 2013, (the “Duran Acquisition Date”), we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Duran, a developer of professional audio products, for a total purchase price of €18.0 million, or approximately $24.4 million (the “Duran Acquisition”), subject to both a net debt and working capital adjustment (the “Duran Adjustments”). On the Duran Acquisition Date, we paid approximately €0.6 million, or approximately $0.8 million, for the estimated net debt adjustment. Subsequently, we finalized the transaction with an additional payment of €0.5 million, or approximately $0.6 million, for the final Duran Adjustments. The Duran Acquisition is subject to a 12 percent indemnification holdback which is payable contingent on the outcome of certain events over the next 18 months. The Duran Acquisition is also subject to an earn-out of a maximum of €12.0 million, or approximately $16.4 million, based on our expectations of the Duran Gross Profit, during the period commencing on the Duran Acquisition Date through June 30, 2020. Our preliminary valuation of the contingent consideration is €0.7 million or approximately $0.9 million.

Based on our preliminary valuation, goodwill and intangibles were recorded in connection with the Duran Acquisition based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates for those acquired intangible assets. The valuation of the acquired net assets is subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period. The primary areas of those purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized relate to identifiable intangible assets, contingent consideration and residual goodwill. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Of the $15.1 million of goodwill recognized, none is deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets include technology of $2.5 million with approximate useful lives ranging from 26.5 months to 38.5 months, product lines of $4.5 million with approximate useful lives ranging from 62.5 months to 86.5 months, customer relationships of $1.5 million with approximate useful lives ranging from 2.5 months to 26.5 months and a trade name of $0.04 million with an approximate useful life of one year. We also recorded an adjustment of $0.6 million to Inventories to adjust the opening balance to fair value. This fair value adjustment will be amortized over 8.5 months through Cost of Sales. Expenses of zero and $0.3 million were recognized in connection with this acquisition and are included in SG&A in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. The operating results of Duran are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements within our Professional segment. Pro forma financial information has not been provided as the Duran Acquisition is not material to our results of operations.

Interchain

On July 31, 2012, we entered into an agreement to purchase certain assets and liabilities of Interchain (the “Interchain Acquisition”), a technology product company that specializes in developing telematics, fleet management, Android® based in-vehicle infotainment and location-based solutions, for a purchase price of 45 million Indian Rupees, or approximately $0.8 million, of which $0.3 million was paid on July 31, 2012 and $0.5 million was paid on October 13, 2012, which is the date the transaction closed (the “Interchain Acquisition Date”). The Interchain Acquisition is also subject to a 50 million Indian Rupee earn-out, or approximately $0.9 million, which is payable upon the achievement of certain financial targets in the 12 month periods ending September 1, 2013 and September 2, 2014, which we recorded as a $0.2 million and $0.3 million Non-current liability in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, based upon management’s estimate of its fair value. The total cost of the Interchain Acquisition including the fair value of the earn-out, was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the Interchain Acquisition Date. Goodwill of $0.6 million and intangibles of $0.4 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition. The operating results of the Interchain Acquisition are included in our Infotainment segment. Pro-forma financial information has not been presented as the Interchain Acquisition is not material to our results of operations.

On February 28, 2013, (the “Martin Acquisition Date”), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Martin, a leading provider of dynamic lighting solutions for the entertainment, architectural and commercial sectors, for a purchase price of €110.0 million (the “Martin Acquisition”), subject to both an estimated and final (1) net interest bearing debt adjustment and (2) a working capital adjustment (the “Adjustments”). The final Adjustments were to be calculated within 45 business days of the Martin Acquisition Date. On the Martin Acquisition Date, an initial purchase price of €70.6 million, or $92.8 million, was paid based on the estimated Adjustments as of such date. The purchase price included the assumption of approximately $50.5 million of debt, the majority of which was paid off during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The final purchase price was settled as the calculation of the final Adjustments was completed resulting in a $2.0 million reduction to the purchase price.

The total cost of the Martin Acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the Martin Acquisition Date, as follows:

Based on our valuation, goodwill and intangibles were recorded in connection with the acquisition based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates for those acquired intangible assets. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Of the $61.6 million of goodwill recognized, none is deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets included a non-amortized indefinite useful life trade name of $20.1 million, customer relationships of $13.2 million with approximate useful lives ranging from six to seven years, backlog of $2.3 million with a useful life of four months and technology of $0.7 million with an approximate useful life of two years. We also recorded adjustments of $3.7 million and $4.5 million to Inventories and Property, plant and equipment, net, respectively, to adjust the opening balances to fair value. These fair value adjustments will be amortized over their estimated lives of 12 months and four years, respectively, through Cost of sales and depreciation expense within Cost of sales and SG&A, respectively. Expenses of $2.3 million were recognized in connection with this acquisition and were included in SG&A in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The operating results of Martin are included in our Professional segment. Pro-forma financial information has not been presented as the Martin Acquisition is not material to our results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 (our “2013 Annual Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements which are based on our current expectations and experience and our perception of historical trends, current market conditions, including customer acceptance of our new products, current economic data, expected future developments, foreign currency exchange rates, and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise indicated, “Harman,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” are used interchangeably to refer to Harman International Industries, Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries. All amounts are in thousands unless otherwise indicated.

Executive Overview

We believe we are a worldwide leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of high quality, high-fidelity audio products, lighting solutions and electronic systems, as well as digitally integrated audio and infotainment systems for the automotive industry. We have developed a broad range of product offerings which we sell in our principal markets under our renowned brand names, including AKG®, Crown®, JBL®, Infinity®, Harman/Kardon®, Lexicon®, dbx®, BSS®, Studer®, Soundcraft®, Mark Levinson®, Becker®, DigiTech®, Revel®, Logic 7®, Martin®, Aha® and Selenium®. We have built these brands by developing our engineering, manufacturing and marketing competencies, and have employed these resources to establish our company as a leader in the markets we serve.

We report our business on the basis of four segments. Our Infotainment, Lifestyle and Professional segments are based on our strategic approach to the markets and customers we serve. Our fourth segment, Other, primarily includes compensation, benefit and occupancy costs for corporate employees, net of allocations and expenses associated with new technology innovation and our corporate brand identity campaign.

We believe that innovation is an important element to gaining market acceptance of our products and strengthening our market position. We have a history of leveraging our continuous technological innovation across all of the markets we serve. We have a well-deserved reputation for delivering premium audio and infotainment solutions across a full spectrum of applications. We believe that our technological innovation, the quality of our products and our reputation for on-time delivery have resulted in Harman being awarded a substantial amount of Infotainment and Lifestyle business. As of June 30, 2013, we have a cumulative estimated $19.0 billion of future awarded Infotainment and Lifestyle automotive business, which represents the estimated future lifetime net sales for all customers. This amount does not represent firm customer orders. We report our awarded business primarily based on award letters from our customers. To validate these awards, we use various assumptions, which we update annually, including global vehicle production forecasts, customer take rates for our products, revisions to product life cycle estimates and the impact of annual price reductions and exchange rates, among other factors. These assumptions are updated and reported externally on an annual basis. We update our estimated awarded business quarterly by adding the value of new awards received and subtracting sales recorded during the quarter. These quarterly updates do not include any assumptions for increased take rates, revisions to product life cycle, or any other factors. We believe our currently awarded automotive business will position us well for follow-on and new business with these existing customers.

Our management uses the amount of our future awarded business for short- and long-term budgeting and forecasting, development of earnings guidance and for planning future corporate investment and other activities, such as capital expenditures and restructuring. Our future awarded business is also an input used to approximate our enterprise value. We believe our investors utilize this information for a number of reasons, including evaluating our future financial performance over time, to model our financial results of operations, to understand the risks inherent in our current operating plan, and as an input to approximate our enterprise value. However, our estimates of future awarded automotive business are forward-looking statements and may not actually be achieved. See the risk factor “We may not realize sales represented by awarded business” in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part I of our 2013 Annual Report.

Our products are sold worldwide, with the largest markets located in the United States and Germany. In the United States, our primary manufacturing facilities are located in Kentucky and Indiana. Outside of the United States, we have manufacturing facilities in Austria, Brazil, China, Denmark, Hungary, France, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Our sales and earnings may vary due to the production schedules and model year changeovers of our automotive customers, the holiday buying season for home audio products, customer acceptance of our products, the timing of new product introductions, product offerings by our competitors, fluctuations in the timing of contractual agreements for customer reimbursements for research,

development and engineering expenses (“RD&E”) and general economic conditions. Since most of our businesses operate using local currencies, our reported sales and earnings may also fluctuate due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, especially with respect to the value of the Euro and the U.S. Dollar.

We believe significant opportunities exist to grow our business in all three of our business segments in emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (“BRIC”). During the three months ended March 31, 2014, sales increased $40.9 million in these emerging markets to $168.6 million, an increase of 32.0 percent over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Excluding China, the BRIC countries sales decreased $6.9 million to $40.7 million, a decrease of 14.6 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, sales increased $104.9 million in these emerging markets to $501.4 million, an increase of 26.5 percent over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Excluding China, the BRIC countries sales increased $5.8 million to $134.1 million, an increase of 4.5 percent during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. We expect our market share to continue to grow significantly in these countries.

We continue to roll out our global marketing campaign featuring some of the world’s most prominent artists and celebrities such as Maroon 5, Linkin Park, Mariano Rivera and Tim McGraw, in order to increase brand awareness and support growth and market share gains across our entire business.

Other SG&A increased $7.4 million to $35.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased stock compensation expense, marketing costs and RD&E. Other SG&A increased $21.3 million to $103.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased stock compensation expense, marketing costs and RD&E.

Restructuring

Our restructuring program that is designed to improve our global footprint, cost structure, technology portfolio, human resources and internal processes continues.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we continued to refine and expand on activities launched in prior years. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we launched additional programs to drive functional efficiencies and improve our cost structure and global footprint. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, significant new programs were launched focused on achieving further productivity improvements by consolidating operations and relocating certain functions to lower cost countries.

A summary and components of our restructuring initiatives are presented below and include accruals for new programs as well as revisions to estimates, both increases and decreases, to programs accrued in prior periods:

Goodwill

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded $4.4 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of goodwill in our Professional segment associated with the acquisitions of Duran and Martin. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded $57.7 million of goodwill, in each period, in our Professional segment associated with the acquisition of Martin and zero and $0.6 million, respectively, of goodwill in our Infotainment segment associated with the acquisition of certain assets of Interchain Solutions Private Limited (“Interchain”). Refer to Note 23 – Acquisitions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The contingent purchase price associated with the acquisition of innovative Systems GmbH (“IS”) is calculated pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the parties. Certain terms of the agreement are currently subject to a dispute between the parties and the matter has been submitted to arbitration. On November 5, 2013, the arbitration panel reached a partial judgment on some of the disputed matters covering the period from February 2009 through January 2012 in the amount of €16.3 million. We are contesting the enforcement of the partial award. Until such time as the dispute is resolved, we cannot calculate the contingent purchase price.

Operating Income

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $101.4 million, or 7.2 percent of net sales, compared to operating income of $38.3 million, or 3.6 percent of net sales, in the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher gross profit due to increased net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2014, partially offset by higher SG&A in support of increased net sales and higher marketing costs related to our brand-awareness campaign.

Operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was $272.7 million, or 7.0 percent, of net sales compared to operating income of $185.7 million, or 6.0 percent of net sales, in the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher gross profit due to increased net sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2014, partially offset by higher SG&A in support of increased net sales, a reduction of $12.5 million in contingent consideration in the prior year related to the acquisition of MWM Acoustics and higher marketing costs related to our brand-awareness campaign.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense is reported net of interest income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest expense, net was $2.1 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross interest expense was $2.5 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The non-cash portion of gross interest expense was $0.5 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, associated with the amortization of debt issuance costs on the Multi-Currency Credit Agreement entered into on October 19, 2012 (the “New Credit Agreement”). The cash portion of gross interest expense was $2.0 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest income was $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Interest expense, net was $5.9 million and $11.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross interest expense was $7.4 million and $13.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The non-cash portion of gross interest expense was $1.6 million and $7.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively,

associated with the amortization of debt issuance costs on the New Credit Agreement in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and the amortization of the debt discount on the 1.25 percent convertible senior notes due and paid on October 15, 2012 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”) and the amortization of debt issuance costs on the New Credit Agreement, the Convertible Senior Notes and the Multi-Currency Credit Agreement entered into on December 1, 2010 in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The cash portion of gross interest expense was $5.8 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest income was $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Foreign Exchange Losses, Net

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in Foreign exchange losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Miscellaneous, Net

Net miscellaneous expenses of $2.7 million consisted primarily of bank charges, as well as $1.1 million of interest expense related to a disputed claim for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1.2 million in the same period in the prior year. Net miscellaneous expenses of $5.8 million consisted primarily of bank charges, as well as $1.1 million of interest expense related to a disputed claim, as well as bank charges for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $3.8 million in the same period in the prior year.

Income Tax Expense, Net

Our provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $22.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 23.3 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher income in the U.S. that is subject to a tax rate higher than those in our key foreign jurisdictions and the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit provision of the U.S. tax law that was recorded as a discrete tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $64.5 million and $34.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 25.2 percent and 20.0 percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher income in the U.S. that is subject to a tax rate higher than those in our key foreign jurisdictions and discrete tax benefits that were recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 related to the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit provision and favorable tax rate changes in certain key jurisdictions.

We have net deferred tax assets of $313.0 million primarily consisting of deferred deductions, research and experimentation credits, and foreign tax credits. We have evaluated all available evidence, both positive and negative, and based on the weight of all available evidence we continue to believe that our net deferred tax assets are fairly reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the results of our operations do not meet our current expectations, our net deferred tax assets may become impaired.

As of March 31, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits and the related interest were $37.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, all of which would affect the tax rate if recognized. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded tax reserves on uncertain tax positions in the amount of $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded additional interest expense on uncertain tax positions of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We primarily finance our working capital requirements through cash generated by operations, borrowings under the New Credit Agreement and trade credit. Cash and cash equivalents were $566.9 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $454.3 million at June 30, 2013. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents balance increased $112.6 million. The increase in cash was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities, largely driven by net income, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock, dividends and the repayment of debt from our term facility (the “Term Facility”) under the New Credit Agreement. We also used cash to make investments in our manufacturing facilities, fund product development and meet the working capital needs of our business segments.

 

38


Table of Contents

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents of $566.9 million at March 31, 2014, together with our expected future operating cash flows, and our availability of $745.5 million under the New Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to cover our working capital needs, debt service, our share buyback program, capital expenditures, including major investments related to manufacturing and research facilities in emerging markets, acquisitions, purchase commitments, restructuring projects and quarterly dividends for at least the next 12 months.

Our ability to maintain positive liquidity going forward depends on our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and maintain access to the financial markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other market factors beyond our control. We earn a significant amount of our operating income outside the U.S., the majority of which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. For at least the next 12 months, we have sufficient cash in the U.S., availability under our New Credit Agreement and forecasted domestic cash flow to sustain our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as quarterly dividends and repayment of debt. In addition, we expect existing foreign cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our foreign operating activities and cash commitments for investing activities, such as material capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2014 Cash and cash equivalents of $200.8 million were held in the U.S. and Cash and cash equivalents of $366.1 million were held by us in foreign jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2013 Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments of $226.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively, were held in the U.S. and Cash and cash equivalents of $227.4 million were held by us in foreign jurisdictions. Below is a more detailed discussion of our cash flow activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, our net cash provided by operations was $325.5 million compared to net cash used in operations of $37.3 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating cash flows compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower payments for accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes, and higher net income, partially offset by higher increases in accounts receivable. At March 31, 2014, working capital, excluding cash, short-term investments, and short-term debt, was $576.8 million, compared with $582.2 million at June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to higher accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued warranties, partially offset by higher accounts receivable and inventory balances.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $104.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $30.2 million provided by investing activities in the same period in the prior year. The increase in net cash used in investing activities compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher net maturities of short-term investments in the prior year and higher capital expenditures in the current year and lower acquisitions, net of cash received in the current year. Short-term investments consist of commercial paper, short-term deposits and government bonds, time deposits, and treasury bills with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 were $92.5 million, in support of new Infotainment and Lifestyle awards, compared to $66.2 million for the same period in the prior year. We expect that our run rate for capital expenditures will slightly increase during fiscal year 2014.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $119.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $195.6 million used in financing activities in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower repayment of debt in the current year, net of higher repurchases of common stock and higher dividends to shareholders.

New Credit Agreement

On October 10, 2012, we and Harman Holding GmbH & Co. KG (“Harman KG”) entered into the New Credit Agreement with a group of banks. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 there were no outstanding borrowings and approximately $4.5 million and $6.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively, under the new revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Credit Facility”) and $262.5 million and $285.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility, respectively, of which $33.7 million and $30.0 million is included in each period in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Current portion of long-term debt, respectively, and $228.8 million and $255.0 million is classified as Long-term debt, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, unused available credit under the New Revolving Credit Facility was $745.5 million and $743.2 million, respectively. If we do not meet the forecast in our budgets, we could violate our debt covenants and, absent a waiver from our lenders or an amendment to the New Credit Agreement, we could be in default under the New Credit Agreement. As a result, our debt under the New Credit Agreement could become due, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all the covenants of the New Credit Agreement.

Our total debt, including short-term borrowings, at March 31, 2014 was $278.0 million, primarily comprised of outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility of $262.5 million.

Our total debt, including short-term borrowings, at June 30, 2013 was $290.0 million, primarily comprised of outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility of $285.0 million. Also included in total debt at June 30, 2013 is short-term debt and long-term borrowings of $5.0 million.

Equity

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2014 was $1.767 billion compared with $1.645 billion at June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to higher net income, favorable foreign currency translation and stock option exercises, partially offset by repurchases of common stock, dividends to shareholders and unrealized losses on hedging.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We utilize off-balance sheet arrangements in our operations when we enter into operating leases for land, buildings and equipment in the normal course of business, which are not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we had outstanding letters of credit of $4.5 million and $6.8 million at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, that were not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Business Outlook

Our future outlook is largely dependent upon changes in global economic conditions, which are showing signs of stabilization. We see signs of increased consumer discretionary spending, the lifting of delays in capital expenditure projects and increased automotive production rates, which we expect will result in improved demand for our products. We believe that these stabilized economic conditions will remain in place for at least the next quarter. We remain committed to our investment plans in the areas of RD&E and marketing. We also remain committed to pursuing incremental productivity and restructuring programs, which are expected to provide an accelerated rate of earnings growth in future years. Capital expenditures as a percentage of sales are expected to remain stable.

Share Buy-Back Program

On October 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock (the “Buyback Program”). The Buyback Program allows us to purchase shares of our common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions. We entered into an agreement with an external broker that provided the structure under which the program was facilitated, which expired on October 25, 2012. The Buyback Program was set to expire on October 26, 2012, but on October 23, 2012 our Board of Directors approved an extension of the Buyback Program through October 25, 2013. On June 19, 2013 we entered into a new agreement with an external broker which expired on October 25, 2013 (the “10b5-1 Plan”). On June 26, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of our common stock (the “New Buyback Program”) which expires on June 26, 2014. On August 26, 2013 we amended the 10b5-1 Plan to incorporate both board authorizations up until each of their respective expiration dates (the “Amended 10b5-1 Plan”). The Amended 10b5-1 Plan expires on June 25, 2014. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we did not repurchase any shares. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014 we repurchased 1,268,110 shares, at a cost of $84.5 million for a total cumulative buyback of 4,660,385 shares at a cost of $213.8 million under the Buyback Program and the New Buyback Program.

Table of Contents

The Buyback Program was completed and therefore no additional shares may be repurchased under such program. The New Buyback Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We will determine the timing and the amount of any repurchases based on an evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors.

Subsequent Events

Dividend Declaration

On May 1, 2014 we declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The quarterly dividend will be paid on May 27, 2014 to each stockholder of record as of the close of business on May 12, 2014.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are required to include information about potential effects of changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Since March 31, 2014, there have been no material changes in the quantitative or qualitative aspects of our market risk profile. See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk included in our 2013 Annual Report.

Interest Rate Sensitivity/Risk

At March 31, 2014, interest on 94 percent of our borrowings was determined on a variable rate basis. The interest rates on the balances of our debt, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are subject to changes in U.S. and European short-term interest rates. To assess exposure to interest rate changes, we have performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates across all outstanding debt and investments. Our analysis indicates that the effect on net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 of such an increase or decrease in interest rates would be approximately $2.2 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

We maintain significant operations in Germany, Hungary, China, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Japan, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Austria and India. As a result, we are subject to market risks arising from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates, principally the change in the value of the Euro versus the U.S. Dollar. Refer to Note 13 – Derivatives in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our financial risk management.

Changes in currency exchange rates, principally the change in the value of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar have an impact on our reported results when the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars. Over half our sales are denominated in Euros. The average exchange rate for the Euro versus the U.S. dollar for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 increased 4.9 percent from the same period in the prior fiscal year.

To assess exposure to changes in currency exchange rates, we prepared an analysis assuming a hypothetical 10 percent change in currency exchange rates across all currencies used by our subsidiaries. This analysis indicated that a 10 percent increase in exchange rates would have increased income before income taxes by approximately $9.8 million and a 10 percent decrease in exchange rates would have decreased income before income taxes by approximately $9.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Competitive conditions in the markets in which we operate may limit our ability to increase prices in the event of adverse changes in currency exchange rates. For example, certain products made in Europe are sold in the U.S. Sales of these products are affected by the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro. Any weakening of the U.S. Dollar could depress the demand for these European manufactured products in the U.S. and reduce sales. However, due to the multiple currencies involved in our business and the netting effect of various simultaneous transactions, our foreign currency positions are partially offsetting. In addition, our foreign currency hedging program is designed to limit our exposure.

Actual gains and losses in the future may differ materially from the hypothetical gains and losses discussed above based on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and our actual exposure and hedging transactions.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. We note that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) as promulgated by the SEC under the 1934 Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Part I, Item 3 of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion is limited to certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with those earlier reports.

In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation

On October 1, 2007, a purported class action lawsuit was filed by Cheolan Kim (the “Kim Plaintiff”) against Harman and certain of our officers in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the “Court”) seeking compensatory damages and costs on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between April 26, 2007 and September 24, 2007 (the “Class Period”). The original complaint alleged claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On November 30, 2007, the Boca Raton General Employees’ Pension Plan filed a purported class action lawsuit against Harman and certain of our officers in the Court seeking compensatory damages and costs on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between April 26, 2007 and September 24, 2007. On February 15, 2008, the Court ordered the consolidation of the Kim action with the Boca Raton action, the administrative closing of the Boca Raton action, and designated the short caption of the consolidated action as In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, civil action no. 1:07-cv-01757 (RWR). That same day, the Court appointed the Arkansas Public Retirement System as lead plaintiff (“Lead Plaintiff”) and approved the law firm Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld and Toll, P.L.L.C. to serve as lead counsel. On July 3, 2008, defendants moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint in its entirety. Lead Plaintiff opposed the defendants’ motion to dismiss on September 2, 2008, and defendants filed a reply in further support of their motion to dismiss on October 2, 2008. On September 5, 2012, the Court heard oral arguments on defendants’ motion to dismiss. At the request of the Court, on September 24, 2012, each side submitted a supplemental briefing on defendants’ motion to dismiss. On January 17, 2014, the Court granted a motion to dismiss, without prejudice, the In Re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation.
