GENERAL CABLE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of General Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries (“General Cable” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results of operations for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts are derived from the audited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in General Cable’s 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2014. The Company’s fiscal quarters consist of 13-week periods ending on the Friday nearest to the end of the calendar months of March, June and September.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of General Cable Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Investments in 50% or less owned joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances among the consolidated companies have been eliminated.
2.
Accounting Standards
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements in the Amended Annual 2012 Form 10-K/A. In the nine months ended September 27, 2013, there have been no significant changes to these policies. In the nine months ended September 27, 2013, there have been no accounting pronouncements issued that are expected to have a significant effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following accounting pronouncements were adopted and became effective with respect to the Company in 2013 and 2012:
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 (“ASU 2013-02”), “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which amends ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The amended guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-02 as required.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." The amendments in this update require enhanced disclosures around financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013 and has included the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented in Note 10 - Financial Instruments of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
3.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
Alcan Cable North America
On September 4, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the North American business of Alcan Cable North America for $151.0 million, subject to additional customary adjustments of $20.3 million as anticipated in the purchase agreement, primarily related to estimated working capital levels at closing. The Company paid $171.3 million in cash to the sellers at closing in consideration for the North American business and expensed $3.3 million in fees and expenses related to the acquisition in the second half of 2012, reported within selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A").

Table of Contents

Alcan Cable North America employs over 750 employees in North America and is a leading supplier of aluminum strip products and a leading supplier of both electrical and mechanical rod alloys around the globe. The acquisition is expected to create synergies, expand the range of product offerings, increase production capacity and complement the Company's current investments. In 2011, the last full year before the acquisition, Alcan Cable North America reported net sales of approximately $610 million. Alcan Cable North America's sales and financial results are consolidated in the North America operating segment.

The following table represents a purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair values, or other measurements as applicable, of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, in millions:

(1) Accounts receivable represents gross contractual value. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of accounts receivable approximated carrying value.
The primary factors that contributed to the acquisition price in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired and the establishment of goodwill was the expansion of product lines and production capacity in the United States and Canada as well as the strategic benefit of adding additional presence in the Mexican market. The resulting goodwill is amortizable for tax purposes.

The amount of net sales included in the Company's actual consolidated results of operations from the acquisition of Alcan Cable North America were $117.9 million and $362.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013. The amount of operating income included in the Company's actual consolidated results of operations from the acquisition of Alcan Cable North America were $7.1 million and $31.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013. The amount of net sales and net operating income (loss) included in the Company's actual consolidated results of operations from the acquisition of Alcan Cable North America were $47.6 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012.
Productora de Cables Procables S.A.S. (“Procables”)
On October 1, 2012, the Company acquired 60% of Procables from the existing shareholders (the “Seller” or “Minority Shareholder”), who maintained control of the remaining 40% of the shares, for $27.4 million which was retained by the Company of which $24.0 million was used to pay down the assumed existing debt of $48.1 million. For a 36-month period commencing on the expiration of the no-transfer period of four years, the Minority Shareholder may exercise a put option to sell all of their shares, 40% of the shares, to the Company. The Company shall be irrevocably obligated to purchase the shares ("Put Option"). In addition, the Company has a call option ("Call Option") to purchase the additional 40% of the shares. For a 36-month period commencing on the expiration of the no-transfer period of four years, the Company may exercise a Call Option right to purchase all of the Sellers' shares (the remaining 40%). The consideration to be exchanged, per share in the event of a Put Option or Call Option shall be the higher of the following (1) the final per share purchase price; or (2) a price per share based on the Company's enterprise value equal to seven times the average of its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) over the two most recently audited year-end financial statements immediately prior to the option being exercised, minus the 12-month average net indebtedness of the Company for the most recent audited fiscal year (“EBITDA average”). The Company expensed $0.6 million in fees and expenses related to the acquisition, reported within SG&A in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Procables employs over 500 employees, through its two manufacturing facilities in Bogota and Barranquilla in ROW, and offers a broad range of wire and cable products, including low and medium voltage power cables, building wire, industrial, communications, and bare aluminum conductors as well as operating copper and aluminum rod mills. The acquisition of Procables is expected to enhance the Company's presence in the Andean Region, create synergies, increase production capacity and complement the Company's current investments in ROW. In 2011, the last full year before the acquisition, Procables reported

revenues of $120 million.

(1) Accounts receivable is gross contractual value. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of accounts receivable approximated carrying value.

The primary factor which contributed to an acquisition price in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired and the establishment of goodwill was the strategy to enhance the Company's presence in this strategically important market in the Andean Region further solidifying the Company's geographic coverage throughout the Americas which is one of the most extensive in the wire and cable industry. The resulting goodwill is not amortizable for tax purposes.

The amount of net sales included in the Company's actual consolidated results of operations from the acquisition of Procables were $34.1 million and $104.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013. The amount of net operating income (loss) included in the Company's actual consolidated results of operations from the acquisition of Procables was $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013.
Prestolite Wire, LLC ("Prestolite")
On November 2, 2012, the Company acquired Prestolite for $59.5 million. The operations include two manufacturing locations in Paragould, Arkansas and Nogales, Mexico. The Company expensed $0.6 million in fees and expenses related to the acquisition, reported within SG&A in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Through its manufacturing facilities in the United States and Mexico, Prestolite offers a broad range of wire and cable and wire harness products serving predominately transportation OEMs, tier 1 wire harness manufacturers and distribution customers. Prestolite employs over 700 employees. In 2011, the last full year before the acquisition, Prestolite reported revenues of $170 million. Prestolite's sales and financial results are consolidated in the North American operating segment.

(1) Accounts receivable is gross contractual value. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of accounts receivable approximated carrying value.

The primary factors that contributed to the acquisition price in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired and the establishment of goodwill were the Company's ability to strategically grow its business with existing customers to capitalize on greater opportunities to offer existing products to new markets, and strengthening of its market strategies for both new and existing specialty industrial OEM and distribution customers. A portion of the goodwill is amortizable for tax purposes.

The amount of net sales included in the Company's actual consolidated results of operations from the acquisition of Prestolite were $48.8 million and $153.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013. The amount of operating income included in the Company's actual consolidated results of operations from the acquisition of Prestolite was $1.2 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013.
Alcan Cable China
On December 3, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the Chinese business of Alcan Cable ("Alcan Cable China"), a related business of Alcan Cable North America, for $57.7 million. The Company expensed $1.1 million in fees and expenses related to the acquisition, reported within SG&A in the fourth quarter of 2012. The final purchase price is subject to further customary adjustments primarily related to working capital levels.

Alcan Cable China employs over 300 employees in China and is expected to create synergies, expand the range of product offerings, increase production capacity and complement the Company's current investment in China. In 2011, the last full year before the acquisition, Alcan Cable China reported net sales of approximately $65 million. Alcan Cable China's sales and financial results are consolidated in the ROW operating segment.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs assigned to property, plant and equipment related to acquisitions are based on estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings, from 15 to 50 years, and machinery, equipment and office furnishings, from 2 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the asset, unless acquired in a business combination, in which case the leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or a term that includes the reasonably assured life of the lease.

The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with determinable lives) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates events or changes in circumstances based mostly on actual historical operating results, but business plans, forecasts, general and industry trends, and anticipated cash flows are also considered. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in earnings. The Company also continually evaluates the estimated useful lives of all long-lived assets and, when warranted, revises such estimates based on current events.

In the three months ended September 27, 2013 the Company’s executive management decided to no longer import building wire product into the United States from its General Cable Mexico unit (Mexico). This change is considered significant to the operation due to associated revenue, profit and the influence on the overall results of Mexico from this United States business. Based on the decision to no longer import building wire product from Mexico to the United States coupled with the pricing pressures in the Mexico market and the commercial challenges of entering into new businesses to support the new product lines

Table of Contents

the Company performed an asset impairment review for its Mexican business in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”.

The Mexico results are reported within the ROW reporting unit. The Mexico operations and assets include machinery and equipment which manufacture different products including power cables, building wire, telephone cables all housed in three manufacturing buildings. The three lines have a significant amount of shared costs including advertising, sales force, data processing, accounting, and management. The Company manages its business at a total Mexico level and has similar distribution methods. Therefore, based on the reporting structure the lowest level of which identifiable cash flows that can be determined is the Mexico unit.

The Company developed its internal forward business plans and 2014 outlook under the guidance of new local and regional leadership to determine the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from the Mexican long lived assets. Based on the internal projections developed by executive management, the Company determined that the undiscounted expected future cash flows were less than the carrying value of the assets. Since the undiscounted expected cash flows was less than the carrying value of the assets the Company engaged a third party valuation firm to determine the amount of the impairment by determining the fair value of the Mexican long lived assets.  To determine the fair value of these assets, the Company first estimated the future cash flows associated with the Mexican business based on management's best estimates considering the likelihood of various outcomes.  Subsequently, the Company performed a current appraisal of the Mexican machinery and equipment and real property assets utilizing standard valuation approaches.  Based on the results of the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $14.0 million in the three months ended September 27, 2013.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. The Company completes its annual impairment test within the fourth quarter of each year. In addition, the Company evaluates the carrying value between the valuations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances may include, but are not limited to, a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate, adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, possible sale or disposal of a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit, significant changes in financial projections or significant changes in the market capitalization. In September 2013, the Company began the review of the 2014 plan projections for the PDIC reporting unit. Based on preliminary results the Company noted the projected results for the 2013 forecast and the 2014 plan were significantly below the projections used for the 2012 impairment process, perhaps indicating a change in the business climate. Therefore, the Company decided to complete the 2013 goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis as of September 27, 2013 due to this impairment indicator for the PDIC reporting unit.
During the evaluation of impairment, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount to determine if there is potential goodwill impairment. Our impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is performed separately. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the goodwill within the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the goodwill. The impairment test for the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets involves comparing the fair value of the intangibles to their carrying values. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset with an indefinite life exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in the amount equal to the excess. If this fair value is less than the reporting unit's carrying value, a second step is required to measure the amount of impairment, if any. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the second step is not required. The Company's market capitalization is a consideration during the annual impairment test.   The reporting unit comprising the goodwill is only a portion of the entire company.  The company must apply assumptions to compare the Company's market capitalization to the reporting unit being assessed.  First, a portion of the market capitalization is allocated  to the reporting unit.  This value is then increased by a control premium. To develop the control premium assumption, management considered other recent transactions within the industry and the control premium realized in those transactions.
The Company performed the first step of the goodwill impairment assessment. In Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting unit, the entities purchased in the October 31, 2007 PDIC acquisition, to its carrying amount, including goodwill of $165.1 million. Based on the results of the valuation, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value; therefore, it was determined that no impairment existed. Step 2 was not required.
To determine the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company employs an income and market-based approach with each being weighted equally. Under the income approach, the Company uses a discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method, such as forecasted operating results, expected growth rates, working capital needs, tax rates, and cost of capital, are based on the current market conditions and are consistent with internal management projections. The cost of capital rate selected is based on consideration of the risks inherent in the investment and market rates of return available from alternative investments of similar type and quality

as of the valuation date. The guideline public company method is used for the market approach. The approach provides an estimate of value using multiples of earnings derived from the market values of publicly traded companies in the cable and wire industry. In addition to the selection of guideline companies, the market approach includes an analysis of the Company’s financial and operating performance, risk, profitability, and growth as compared to the reporting unit.
Our interim impairment test for both goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles assets indicated there was no impairment. While the Company believes that the assumptions and estimates utilized in the testing are appropriate, multiples of earnings, future changes in judgments, assumptions and estimates that are used in our annual impairment testing, including discount and tax rates, future cash flow projections, or the Company’s stock price, could result in significantly different estimates of fair value. For the 2013 impairment analysis, the Company used a discount rate of 11.5% and a residual growth rate of 4.6%. The discount rate used in the prior year was 12%. The decrease was due to lower relevered betas expected for comparable business or economic fundamentals impacting the reporting unit compared to the prior year. The residual growth rate decreased compared with the rate utilized in the 2012 impairment analysis due to lower expected long-term GDP growth for countries in which the reporting unit operates. As noted, changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the results of Step 1 of the goodwill impairment tests. For example, an increase in the discount rate of 100 basis points or a decrease in the residual growth rate of 110 basis points would result in a decrease to the fair value of $62 million and $27 million, respectively. The fair value would still exceed the carrying value if these changes were made when employing an income and market-based approach. Overall, a decrease of 5% in the estimated fair value of any of the Company’s reporting units would not result in an impairment.
The Company performed the first step of the indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test. In Step 1 of the impairment test, the Company determined the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value; therefore, it was determined that no impairment existed. Step 2 was not required.

Intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives.

Amortized intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization as of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Other intangible assets have been determined to have a useful life in the range of 7 to 12 years. The approximate weighted average useful life of the amortized intangible assets is 10 years. For customer relationships, the Company has accelerated the amortization expense to align with the historical customer attrition rates. In addition, the Company's other intangible assets include favorable lease contracts; the Company will recognize the expense over the life of the ten year lease on a straight line basis. The amortization of intangible assets for the first nine fiscal months of 2013 and 2012 was $9.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense during the twelve month periods beginning September 27, 2013 through September 28, 2018 and thereafter, based on exchange rates as of September 27, 2013, is $12.0 million, $11.1 million, $10.1 million, $8.6 million, $3.9 million and $10.7 million thereafter.

Restructuring Accrual
The Company has incurred expenses as a result of cost reduction efforts in recent years. The expenses primarily relate to employee termination benefits that are payable under local statutory requirements. In the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 the Company incurred $0.8 million and $6.8 million in charges related to actions taken at various operations in Europe to permanently reduce manufacturing personnel as well as severance expenses resulting from the recent North America acquisitions and the closure of a North American manufacturing facility. Payments made in nine months ended September 27, 2013 were $3.3 million resulting in an accrual balance related to these actions of $3.9 million at September 27, 2013. The accrual balance related to these actions was immaterial at December 31, 2012. Other expenses related to routine employee reductions for cost savings initiatives throughout the globe, with the exception of the aforementioned severance plan, were immaterial.
Warranty Accrual
The warranty accrual balance at September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $11.8 million and $12.8 million, respectively. The Company accrues liabilities under service and warranty policies based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty and service claims experience. Adjustments are made to the accruals as claims data and historical experience change. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues.

On November 4, 2013, the Company commenced a consent solicitation to amend the indentures (the “Proposed Amendment”) and to provide related waivers  with respect to its Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015 and 5.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”).  The Proposed Amendment and related waivers would amend the indentures governing the Notes to make certain changes to the reporting covenants and to waive defaults that have occurred prior to the effective date of the amendments.  The Solicitation expired on November 8, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”).  As of the Expiration Date, the Company had received the requisite number of Consents required to approve the proposed Amendments and waivers and, accordingly, the Company, its U.S. subsidiaries that serve as guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, executed supplemental indentures implementing the Proposed Amendment with respect to the Notes.  Under the terms of the amended indentures, the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Company’s quarterly reports on form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and September 27, 2013 on or prior to March 17, 2014 would satisfy the Company’s obligations under the reporting covenants of the indentures; provided that if the Company does not comply with the reporting covenants on or before March 17, 2014, then such noncompliance will constitute an event of default as defined in the indentures.  In connection with the consent solicitation, the Company agreed to pay additional interest at the rate of 0.50% per annum to the Note holders beginning on November 1, 2013, and continuing until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Company complies with the reporting covenants and (b) March 17, 2014.  In addition, Note holders who returned valid unrevoked consents prior to the Expiration Date are also eligible to receive a lump-sum consent fee equal to 0.25% in the event that the Company has not complied with the reporting covenants on or before January 31, 2014.

Under the terms of the 5.750% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), the Company was required to file a registration statement for the 5.75% Senior Notes on or before the 1-year anniversary of the initial issuance of the 5.75% Senior Notes on September 25, 2012.  Because the Company has not filed the registration statement for the 5.75% Senior Notes within the required time, the terms of the Notes require the Company to pay additional interest under the 5.75% Senior Notes equal to 0.25% per year beginning

on September 26, 2013 for the first 90 days of delay, and an additional 0.25% per year for each subsequent 90-day period until the registration statement is filed. 

The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the 5.75% Senior Notes to redeem all of its outstanding $200.0 million of 7.125% Senior Fixed Rate Notes that were to mature in April 2017. The Company intends to use the balance of the proceeds to (i) repay its 0.875% Convertible Notes at maturity, and for (ii) general corporate purposes. In the interim, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company capitalized $11.8 million in deferred financing costs in connection with the 5.75% Senior Notes.

The 0.875% Convertible Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by the Company’s wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. For additional information on the convertible notes, see the Company’s 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2029
The Company’s Subordinated Convertible Notes were issued on December 18, 2009 in the amount of $429.5 million as part of an exchange offer. The notes and the common stock issuable upon conversion were registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-4, initially filed with the SEC on October 27, 2009, as amended and as declared effective by the SEC on December 15, 2009. At issuance, the Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the instrument, based on the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the instrument’s issuance date of 12.5%. At issuance, the liability and equity components were $162.9 million and $266.6 million, respectively. The equity component (debt discount) is being amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method. There were no proceeds generated from the transaction and the Company incurred issuance fees and expenses of approximately $14.5 million as a result of the exchange offer which have been proportionately allocated to the liability and equity components of the Subordinated Convertible Notes.

By letter dated August 30, 2013, U.S. Bank National Association (“Trustee”), as the trustee under the note indenture dated as of December 18, 2009, by and among the Trustee and the Company (the “Indenture”), notified the Company that the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting covenants of the Indenture could constitute an event of default under the terms of the Indenture governing the Company’s Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2029 if not remedied within 60 days of August 30, 2013.   The Company did not comply with the reporting covenant within such 60 day period.  By notice to the Trustee, the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, elected to pay the note holders, as the sole and exclusive remedy for the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting covenants, additional interest at an annual rate of 0.50% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2029 until the Company complies with the reporting covenant (but for no longer than 365 days from October 29, 2013).
 
0.875% Convertible Notes due 2013

The Company’s 0.875% Convertible Notes issued in November 2006 in the amount of $355 million matured on November 15, 2013.  The Company fully satisfied and extinguished these notes by timely tendering the notional amount to the trustee under the applicable note indenture.  The Company used cash on hand and borrowings under its Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility to fund the retirement of the notes.

The Company’s 0.875% Convertible Notes were issued in November of 2006 in the amount of $355.0 million. At the time of issuance, the notes and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes were registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR, which was renewed on September 30, 2009 when the Company filed a Renewal Registration Statement for the underlying common stock on Form S-3ASR. The Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the instrument, retrospectively, based on the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the instrument’s issuance date of 7.35%. At issuance, the liability and equity components were $230.9 million and $124.1 million, respectively. The equity component (debt discount) is being amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method.

Concurrent with the sale of the 0.875% Convertible Notes, the Company purchased note hedges that are designed to mitigate potential dilution from the conversion of the 0.875% Convertible Notes in the event that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise is greater than approximately $50.36. Under the note hedges that cover approximately 7,048,880 shares of the Company’s common stock, the counterparties are required to deliver to the Company either shares of the Company’s common stock or cash in the amount that the Company delivers to the holders of the 0.875% Convertible Notes with respect to a conversion, calculated exclusive of shares deliverable by the Company by reason of any additional make whole premium relating to the 0.875% Convertible Notes or by reason of any election by the company to unilaterally increase the conversion rate as permitted by the indenture governing the 0.875% Convertible Notes. The note hedges expire at the close of trading on November 15, 2013, which is also the maturity date of the 0.875% Convertible Notes, although the counterparties will have ongoing obligations with respect to 0.875% Convertible Notes properly converted on or prior to that date as to which the counterparties have been timely notified.

The Company issued warrants to counterparties that could require the Company to issue up to approximately 7,048,880 shares of the Company’s common stock in equal installments on each of the fifteen consecutive business days beginning on and including February 13, 2014. The strike price is $76.00 per share, which represents a 92.4% premium over the closing price of the Company’s shares of common stock on November 9, 2006. The warrants are expected to provide the Company with some protection against increases in the common stock price over the conversion price per share.

The note hedges and warrants are separate and legally distinct instruments that bind the Company and the counterparties and have no binding effect on the holders of the 0.875% Convertible Notes. In addition, the note hedges and warrants were recorded as a charge and an increase, respectively, in additional paid-in capital in total equity as separate equity transactions.

Proceeds from the offering were used to pay down outstanding debt by $87.8 million, including accrued interest, under the Company’s Terminated Credit Facility, to pay $124.5 million for the cost of the note hedges, and to pay transaction costs of approximately $9.4 million directly related to the issuance that have been allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds. Additionally, the Company received $80.4 million in proceeds from the issuance of the warrants. At the conclusion of these transactions, the net effect of the receipt of the funds from the 0.875% Convertible Notes and the payments and proceeds mentioned above was an increase in cash of approximately $213.7 million, which was used by the Company for general corporate purposes including acquisitions.
Senior Floating Rate Notes
The Company's $325.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, comprised of $125.0 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015 (the Senior Floating Rate Notes") and $200.0 million of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2017, of which $200 million was repaid on October 12, 2012, (together, the "Notes") were offered and sold in private transactions in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act on March 21, 2007. An exchange offer commenced on June 11, 2007 and was completed on July 26, 2007 to replace the unregistered notes with registered notes with like terms pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-4.

The Company may redeem the Senior Floating Rate Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Senior Floating Rate Notes' indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to (i) pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase the Company’s capital stock; (ii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (iii) make investments; (iv) create liens; (v) sell assets; (vi) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (vii) create or designate unrestricted subsidiaries; and (viii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all assets. However, these covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications, one of which permits the Company to declare and pay dividends or distributions on the Series A preferred stock provided there is no default on the Senior Floating Rate Notes and certain financial conditions are met.

The Senior Floating Rate Notes may also be repurchased at the option of the holders in connection with a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Floating Rate Notes) or in connection with certain asset sales.

On November 4, 2013, the Company commenced a consent solicitation to amend the indentures (the “Proposed Amendment”) and to provide related waivers  with respect to its Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015 and 5.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”).  The Proposed Amendment and related waivers would amend the indentures governing the Notes to make certain changes to the reporting covenants and to waive defaults that have occurred prior to the effective date of the amendments.  The Solicitation expired on November 8, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”).  As of the Expiration Date, the Company had received the requisite number of Consents required to approve the proposed Amendments and Waivers and, accordingly, the Company, its U.S. subsidiaries that serve as guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, executed supplemental indentures implementing the Proposed Amendment with respect to the Notes.  Under the terms of the amended indentures, the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Company’s quarterly reports on form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and September 27, 2013 on or prior to March 17, 2014 would satisfy the Company’s obligations under the reporting covenants of the indentures; provided that if the Company does not comply with the reporting covenants on or before March 17, 2014, then such noncompliance will constitute an event of default as defined in the indentures.  In connection with the consent solicitation, the Company agreed to pay additional interest at the rate of 0.50% per annum to the Note holders beginning on November 1, 2013, and continuing until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Company complies with the reporting covenants and (b) March 17, 2014.  In addition, Note holders who returned valid unrevoked consents prior to the Expiration Date are also eligible to receive a lump-sum consent fee equal to 0.25% in the event that the Company has not complied with the reporting covenants on or before January 31, 2014.

Proceeds from the Notes of $325.0 million, less approximately $7.9 million of cash payments for fees and expenses that are being amortized over the life of the Notes, were used to pay approximately $285.0 million for 9.5% Senior Notes, $9.3 million for accrued interest on the 9.5% Senior Notes and $20.5 million for tender fees and the inducement premium on the 9.5% Senior Notes, leaving net cash proceeds of approximately $2.3 million which were used for general corporate purposes.
Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”)
On July 21, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million Revolving Credit Facility, which was first amended in 2012 to increase the Facility size to $700 million and then subsequently amended and restated on September 6, 2013, to, among other things, increase the Revolving Credit Facility to $1.0 billion, $630 million of which may be borrowed by the U.S. borrower, $300 million of which may be borrowed by the European borrowers and $70 million of which may be borrowed by the Canadian borrower. The Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company's prior $400 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“Terminated Credit Facility”), which was set to mature in July 2012. The Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictions in areas consistent with the Terminated Credit Facility, including limitations on, among other things, distributions and dividends, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. In the aggregate, however, the Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company greater flexibility than did the Terminated Credit Facility, and the restrictions in the Revolving Credit Facility generally only apply in the event that the Company's availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below certain specific thresholds.
The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 6, 2018. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a springing maturity concept which is applicable only if the Company's $125 million Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015 are not, within 90 days of their maturity, repaid or refinanced with indebtedness that matures or is mandatorily redeemable or is redeemable at the option of the holders thereof not earlier than the date that is 6 months after September 6, 2018 unless, if such notes are not repaid or refinanced, there is at least $100 million of availability and the fixed charge coverage ratio is not less than 1.15 to 1.00, in each case after giving pro forma effect to the repayment of such notes. Springing maturity can be as early as December 31, 2014. The commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $250 million, subject to certain conditions and approvals as set forth in the credit agreement. The Company capitalized $4.8 million in deferred financing costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility in 2011, $2.3 million in 2012 and $4.7 million the third quarter of 2013. The Revolving Credit Facility requires maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 if availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of $100 million or 10% of the then existing aggregate lender commitment under

the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all material covenants under the facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility may be used for refinancing certain existing indebtedness and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain tangible and intangible property and assets of the Company and the Company's domestic subsidiaries and indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility related to the Canadian borrower and the European borrowers is secured by a first priority security interest in certain tangible and intangible property and assets of certain of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries and European subsidiaries. In addition, the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility have received a pledge of (i) 100% of the equity interests in all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests in and 100% of the non-voting equity interests in each material foreign subsidiary directly owned by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at interest rate bases elected by the Company plus an applicable margin calculated quarterly based on the Company's average availability as set forth in the credit agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the payment of a commitment fee equal to the available but unused commitments multiplied by an applicable margin of either 0.25% or 0.375% based on the average daily unused commitments.
On October 23, 2013, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Facility to extend and amend the lenders’ temporary waiver related to any default or events of default arising under the Revolving Credit Facility due to the failure of the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants contained in the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding unsecured notes.  Under the amendment, the lenders temporarily waived any default or event of default arising under the Revolving Credit Facility due to the failure of the Company to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 28, 2013 and September 27, 2013 within the time periods prescribed by the Company’s outstanding note indentures.  The temporary waiver automatically expires on the earliest of (i) March 16, 2014, (ii) the commencement of any enforcement action, including any acceleration of the notes, under any indenture of the Company, and (iii) the occurrence of any other default or event of default under any indenture of the Company.

Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency and raw material (commodity) prices. To manage risks associated with the volatility of these natural business exposures, the Company enters into interest rate, commodity and foreign currency derivative agreements, as well as copper and aluminum forward pricing agreements. The Company does not purchase or sell derivative instruments for trading purposes. The Company does not engage in derivative contracts for which a lack of marketplace quotations would necessitate the use of fair value estimation techniques.

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to manage its interest expense exposure by fixing its interest rate on a portion of the Company’s floating rate debt. The Company does not provide or receive any collateral specifically for these contracts. The fair value of these financial derivatives which are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges are based on quoted market prices, which reflect the present values of the difference between estimated future variable-rate receipts and future fixed-rate payments.

The Company enters into commodity instruments to hedge the purchase of copper, aluminum and lead in future periods and foreign currency exchange contracts principally to hedge the currency fluctuations in certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby limiting the Company’s risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. Principal transactions hedged during the year were firm sales and purchase commitments. The fair value of foreign currency contracts represents the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices.

We account for these commodity instruments and foreign currency exchange contracts as cash flow or economic hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to the income statement when the effects of the items being hedged are realized. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are recognized in current period earnings.

As of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all financial instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements held by various financial institutions. In general, the terms of our agreements provide that in the event of an early termination the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty.  The Company's accounting policy is to not offset these positions in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  As of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net positions of the enforceable master netting agreements are not significantly different from the gross positions noted in the table above. Depending on the extent of an unrealized loss position on a derivative contract held by the Company, certain counterparties may require collateral to secure the Company's derivative contract position. As of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no contracts held by the Company that required collateral to secure the Company's derivative positions.

For the above derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain and loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, which generally occurs over periods of less than one year. Gain and loss on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

The ineffective portion and the amount excluded from effectiveness testing for all derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recognized in other income and expense.
For derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivatives is reported in current earnings. For the three fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, the Company recorded a gain of $2.9 million and gain of $8.1 million and for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, the Company recorded a loss of $17.5 million and a gain of $7.8 million, respectively, for derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges in other income and expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). No pre-tax gain or loss is expected to be reclassified into earnings from other comprehensive income in the next twelve months.
Other Forward Pricing Agreements
In the normal course of business, General Cable enters into forward pricing agreements for the purchase of copper and aluminum for delivery in a future month to match certain sales transactions. The Company accounts for these forward pricing arrangements under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exception because these arrangements are for purchases of copper and aluminum that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used by the Company over a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. For these arrangements, it is probable at the inception and throughout the life of the arrangements that the arrangements will not settle net and will result in physical delivery of the inventory. At September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $15.7 million and $37.7 million, respectively, of future copper and aluminum purchases that were under forward pricing agreements. At September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of these arrangements was $15.8 million and $38.0 million, respectively, and the Company had an unrealized gain of $0.1 million and an unrealized gain of $0.3 million, respectively, related to these transactions. The Company believes the unrealized gains (losses) under these agreements will be largely offset as a result of firm sales price commitments with customers. Depending on the extent of the unrealized loss position on certain forward pricing agreements, certain counterparties may require collateral to secure the Company’s forward purchase agreements. There were no funds posted as collateral as of September 27, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Income Taxes
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company accrued approximately $5.0 million of income tax expense for uncertain tax positions likely to be taken in the current year and for interest and penalties on tax positions taken in prior periods, all of which would have a favorable impact on the effective tax rate, if recognized. The Company recognized a tax benefit of $1.1 million (including penalties and interest) in the third quarter of 2013 due primarily to the expiration of statute of limitations for certain tax exposures.

The Company files income tax returns in numerous tax jurisdictions around the world. Due to uncertainties regarding the timing and outcome of various tax audits, appeals and settlements, it is difficult to reliably estimate the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that could change within the next twelve months. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that approximately $12 million of unrecognized tax benefits could change within the next twelve months due to the resolution of tax audits and statute of limitations expiration.

The Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of the Company's 2007 through 2010 consolidated income tax returns in the second quarter of 2013 with insignificant tax adjustments. With limited exceptions, tax years prior to 2008 are no longer open in major foreign, state, or local tax jurisdictions.

Employee Benefit Plans
General Cable provides retirement benefits through contributory and noncontributory qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans covering eligible domestic and international employees as well as through defined contribution plans and other postretirement benefits.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Benefits under General Cable’s qualified U.S. defined benefit pension plan generally are based on years of service multiplied by a specific fixed dollar amount, and benefits under the Company’s qualified non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans generally are based on years of service and a variety of other factors that can include a specific fixed dollar amount or a percentage of either current salary or average salary over a specific period of time. The amounts funded for any plan year for the qualified U.S. defined benefit pension plan are neither less than the minimum required under federal law nor more than the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s non-qualified unfunded U.S. defined benefit pension plans include a plan that provides defined benefits to select senior management employees beyond those benefits provided by other programs. The Company’s non-qualified unfunded non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans include plans that provide retirement indemnities to employees within the Company’s Europe and Mediterranean and ROW segments. Pension obligations for the majority of non-qualified unfunded defined benefit pension plans are provided for by by provisions provided in the consolidated balance sheets and are based on local practices and regulations of the respective countries. The Company makes cash contributions for the costs of the non-qualified unfunded defined benefit pension plans as the benefits are paid.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for pension benefits were as follows (in millions):

Stock Repurchase Programs
On May 20, 2013 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company’s existing $125 million, one-year share repurchase program originally adopted on October 29, 2012, through the end of 2013. Stock purchases under this program may be made through the open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate by a special committee appointed by the Board. Under the current stock repurchase program the Company purchased $0.5 million, or 18,493 common shares at an average price of $29.99 per share, during the three months ended September 27, 2013. Under the current stock repurchase program the Company purchased $19.5 million, or 597,531 common shares at an average price of $32.65 per share, during the nine months ended September 27, 2013. Under the prior stock repurchase program, that was effective from October 28, 2011 through October 28, 2012, the Company purchased $1.2 million, or 50,000 common shares at an average price of $24.80 per share, during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of 5.75% Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) were mandatorily redeemed on November 24, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock, the redemption price of $50.00 per share (the “Redemption Price”), plus all accrued and unpaid or accumulated dividends through November 24, 2013, was paid in cash on November 25, 2013 to holders of the Shares who properly delivered their Shares.  Prior to the redemption date, shareholders owning 76,000 of the 76,002 outstanding Shares elected to convert their Shares into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion ratio of 5.056 shares of common stock per share of Preferred Stock.  On November 25, 2013, the Company tendered the Redemption Price to its transfer agent with respect to the 2 shares that had not elected to convert prior to redemption date.  As a result of the conversions and mandatory redemption, as of November 25, 2013, the Shares were fully satisfied and redeemed and no longer outstanding.

Dividends on Common Stock
On May 20, 2013 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the payment of a regular quarterly dividend. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 the Company declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 and $0.36 per share, or approximately $8.9 million and $17.8 million in total, to all common shareholders of record as of June 10, 2013 and August 19, 2013. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record dates and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan (“Deferred Compensation Plan”) under the terms and conditions disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. The Company accounts for the Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with ASC 710 - Compensation–General as it relates to arrangements where amounts earned are held in a rabbi trust. The market value of mutual fund investments, nonvested and subsequently vested stock and restricted stock in the rabbi trust was $42.1 million and $38.1 million as of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The market value of the assets held by the rabbi trust, exclusive of the market value of the shares of the Company’s nonvested and subsequently vested restricted stock, restricted stock units held in the deferred compensation plan and Company stock investments by participants’ elections, at September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $20.9 million and $17.7 million, respectively, and is classified as “other non-current assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts payable to the plan participants at September 27, 2013 and

Share-Based Compensation
The Company has various plans that provide for granting options, restricted stock units and restricted stock to certain employees and independent directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The table below summarizes compensation expense for the Company’s non-qualified stock options based on the fair value method estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and non-vested stock awards, including restricted stock units, and performance-based non-vested stock awards based on the fair value method for the three and nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 (in millions).

The Company acquired 60% of Procables on October 1, 2012 from the existing shareholders (the “Seller” or “Minority Shareholder”) who maintained control of the remaining 40% of the shares for $27.4 million. For a 36-month period commencing on the expiration of the no-transfer period of four years, the Minority Shareholder, may exercise a Put Option to sell all of their shares, 40% of the shares, to the Company. The Company shall be irrevocably obligated to purchase the shares. In addition, the Company has a Call Option to purchase the additional 40% of the shares. For a 36-month period commencing on the expiration of the no-transfer period of four years, the Company may exercise a Call Option right to purchase all of the Sellers' shares (the remaining 40%). The consideration to be exchanged, per share in the event of a Put Option or Call Option shall be the higher of the following (1) the final per share purchase price; or (2) a price per share based on the Company's enterprise value equal to seven times the average of its EBITDA over the two most recently audited year-end financial statements immediately prior to the option being exercised, minus the 12-month average net indebtedness of the Company for the most recent audited fiscal year. The Company determined that the put option is embedded within the non-controlling interest shares that are subject to the put option. The redemption feature requires classification of the Minority Shareholder's interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheet outside of equity under the caption “Redeemable Non-controlling Interest”.

The redeemable non-controlling interest of Procables was recorded on the acquisition date based on the estimated fair value of the shares including the embedded Put Option. The fair value of the Put Option was estimated at the higher of the final per share purchase price or EBITDA average. At September 27, 2013, the final per share purchase price was greater than the EBITDA average; therefore, the redeemable non-controlling interest was valued at the same cost as the fair value determined at the opening balance sheet date subject to foreign currency translation. Subsequent adjustments to the value of the redeemable non-controlling interest due to the redemption feature, if any, will be recognized as they occur and recorded within Net Income.

The following is a rollforward of the redeemable non-controlling interest:

16.     Shipping and Handling Costs
All shipping and handling amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction are classified as revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with storage and handling of finished goods and shipments to customers are included in cost of sales and totaled $42.3 million and $40.6 million, respectively, for the three fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 and $117.8 million and $109.6 million, respectively, for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company applies the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. On May 20, 2013 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the payment of a regular quarterly dividend. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 the Company declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 and $0.36 per share, or approximately $8.9 million and $17.8 million in total, to the holders of the Company’s common stock or holders of unvested share-based payment awards (restricted stock), respectively. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities in undistributed earnings along with common shareholders. The Company’s unvested restricted shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and are participating securities.
A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of earnings (loss) per common share-basic to earnings (loss) per common share-assuming dilution is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

On December 10, 2013 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company’s existing $125 million, one-year share repurchase program originally adopted on October 29, 2012, through the end of 2014. Stock purchases under this program may be made through the open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate by a special committee appointed by the Board. Under the stock repurchase program the Company purchased $0.5 million, or 18,493 common shares at an average price of $29.99 per share, during the three months ended September 27, 2013. Under the stock repurchase program the Company purchased $19.5 million, or 597,531 common shares at an average price of $32.65 per share, during the nine months ended September 27, 2013. Under the prior stock repurchase program, that was effective from October 28, 2011 through October 28, 2012, the Company purchased $1.2 million, or 50,000 common shares at an average price of $24.80 per share, during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012.

Under ASC 260 - Earnings per Share and ASC 470 - Debt and because of the Company’s obligation to settle the par value of the 0.875% Convertible Notes and the Subordinated Convertible Notes in cash, the Company is not required to include any shares underlying the 0.875% Convertible Notes and Subordinated Convertible Notes in its weighted average shares outstanding – assuming dilution until the average stock price per share for the quarter exceeds the $50.36 and $36.75 conversion price of the 0.875% Convertible Notes and the Subordinated Convertible Notes, respectively, and only to the extent of the additional shares that the Company may be required to issue in the event that the Company’s conversion obligation exceeds the principal amount of the 0.875% Convertible Notes and the Subordinated Convertible Notes.

Regarding the 0.875% Convertible Notes, the average stock price threshold conditions had not been met as of September 27, 2013. At any such time in the future that threshold conditions are met, only the number of shares issuable under the “treasury” method of accounting for the share dilution would be included in the Company’s earnings per share – assuming dilution calculation, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price. In addition, shares underlying the warrants will be included in the weighted average shares outstanding – assuming dilution when the average stock price per share for a quarter exceeds the $76.00 strike price of the warrants, and shares underlying the note hedges, will not be included in the weighted average shares outstanding – assuming dilution because the impact of the shares will always be anti-dilutive.

The following table provides examples of how changes in the Company’s stock price would require the inclusion of additional shares in the denominator of the weighted average shares outstanding – assuming dilution calculation for the 0.875% Convertible Notes. The table also reflects the impact on the number of shares that the Company would expect to issue upon concurrent settlement of the 0.875% Convertible Notes and the note hedges and warrants.

Segment Information
The Company conducts its operations through three geographic operating segments – North America, Europe and Mediterranean, and ROW, which consists of operations in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The Company’s operating segments align with the structure of the Company’s internal management organization. All three segments engage in the development, design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of copper, aluminum, and fiber optic communication, electric utility and electrical infrastructure wire and cable products. In addition to the above products, the Europe and Mediterranean and ROW segments develop, design, manufacture, market and distribute construction products and the ROW segment manufactures and distributes rod mill wire and cable products.

Net revenues as shown below represent sales to external customers for each segment. Intersegment sales have been eliminated. Intersegment sales in North America were $4.5 million and $13.9 million, in Europe and Mediterranean, intersegment sales were $7.0 million and $21.9 million and in ROW, intersegment sales were $20.6 million and $58.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, respectively. In North America, intersegment sales were $5.3 million and $22.2 million, in Europe and Mediterranean, intersegment sales were $3.6 million and $15.7 million and in ROW, intersegment sales were $44.4 million and $62.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012, respectively. The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income. Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, other income (expense), other financial costs and income tax. Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the three and nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 is as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations covering the storage, handling, emission and discharge of materials into the environment, including CERCLA, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act (including the 1990 amendments) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
 
The Company's subsidiaries in the United States have been identified as potentially responsible parties with respect to several sites designated for cleanup under CERCLA or similar state laws, which impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages without regard to fault or the legality of waste generation or disposal. Persons liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at those sites. Although CERCLA imposes joint and several liability on all potentially responsible

33
Tables of Contents


parties, in application, the potentially responsible parties typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon, among other things, the volume of waste contributed by each potentially responsible party.

Settlements can often be achieved through negotiations with the appropriate environmental agency or the other potentially responsible parties. Potentially responsible parties that contributed small amounts of waste (typically less than 1% of the waste) are often given the opportunity to settle as “de minimus” parties, resolving their liability for a particular site. The Company does not own or operate any of the waste sites with respect to which it has been named as a potentially responsible party by the government. Based on the Company's review and other factors, it believes that costs to the Company relating to environmental clean-up at these sites will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

At September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an accrued liability of approximately $2.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for various environmental-related liabilities to the extent costs are known or can be reasonably estimated as its liability. American Premier Underwriters Inc., a former parent of the Company, agreed to indemnify the Company against all environmental-related liabilities arising out of the Company’s or its predecessors’ ownership or operation of the Indiana Steel & Wire Company and Marathon Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. businesses (which were divested by the Company), without limitation as to time or amount. While it is difficult to estimate future environmental-related liabilities accurately, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations or cleanup costs of the sites discussed above.

In addition, Company subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging exposure to asbestos in products manufactured by the Company. As of September 27, 2013, the Company was a defendant in approximately 29,130 cases brought in Federal District Courts throughout the United States. In the nine months ended September 27, 2013, 102 asbestos cases were brought against the Company. In the calendar year 2012, 113 asbestos cases were brought against the Company. In the last 21 years, General Cable has had no cases proceed to verdict. In many of the cases, General Cable was dismissed as a defendant before trial for lack of product identification. As of September 27, 2013, 21,910 asbestos cases have been dismissed. In the nine months ended September 27, 2013, 42 asbestos cases were dismissed. As of December 31, 2012, 21,868 cases were dismissed. With regards to the approximately 29,130 remaining pending cases, General Cable is aggressively defending these cases based upon either lack of product identification as to General Cable manufactured asbestos-containing product and/or lack of exposure to asbestos dust from the use of General Cable product.

For cases outside the Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) as of September 27, 2013, Plaintiffs have asserted monetary damages in 349 cases. In 208 of these cases, plaintiffs allege only damages in excess of some dollar amount (about $374 thousand per plaintiff); in these cases there are no claims for specific dollar amounts requested as to any defendant. In the 140 other cases pending in state and federal district courts (outside the MDL), plaintiffs seek approximately $419.0 million in damages from as many as 140 defendants. In one case, plaintiffs have asserted damages related to General Cable in the amount of $10.0 million. In addition, in relation to these 349 cases, there are claims of $299.9 million in punitive damages from all of the defendants. However, many of the plaintiffs in these cases allege non-malignant injuries. As of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued, on a gross basis, approximately $5.2 million and as of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, had recovered approximately $0.5 million of insurance recoveries for these lawsuits. The net amount of $4.7 million, as of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012 represents the Company's best estimate in order to cover resolution of current and future asbestos-related claims.

The components of the asbestos litigation reserve are current and future asbestos-related claims. The significant assumptions are: (1) the number of cases per state, (2) an estimate of the judgment per case per state, (3) an estimate of the percentage of cases per state that would make it to trial and (4) the estimated total liability percentage, excluding insurance recoveries, per case judgment. Management's estimates are based on the Company's historical experience with asbestos related claims. The Company's current history of asbestos claims does not provide sufficient and reasonable information to estimate a range of loss for potential future, unasserted asbestos claims because the number and the value of the alleged damages of such claims have not been consistent. As such, the Company does not believe a reasonably possible range can be estimated with respect to asbestos claims that may be filed in the future.

Settlement payments are made, and the asbestos reserve is relieved, when the Company receives a fully executed settlement release from the Plaintiff's counsel. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, aggregate settlement costs were $8.7 million and $8.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, settlement costs were immaterial and $0.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, settlement costs totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, aggregate litigation costs were $22.4 million and $20.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28,

34
Tables of Contents


2012, litigation costs were $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, litigation costs were $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

In January 1994, General Cable entered into a settlement agreement with certain principal primary insurers concerning liability for the costs of defense, judgments and settlements, if any, in all of the asbestos litigation described above. Subject to the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement, the insurers are responsible for a substantial portion of the costs and expenses incurred in the defense or resolution of this litigation. In recent years one of the insurers participating in the settlement that was responsible for a significant portion of the contribution under the settlement agreement entered into insurance liquidation proceedings. As a result, the contribution of the insurers has been reduced and the Company has had to bear a larger portion of the costs relating to these lawsuits. Moreover, certain of the other insurers may be financially unstable, and if one or more of these insurers enter into insurance liquidation proceedings, General Cable will be required to pay a larger portion of the costs incurred in connection with these cases.

SAFRAN SA agreed to indemnify the Company for the full amount of losses arising from, related to or attributable to practices, if any, that are similar to previous practices investigated by the French competition authority for alleged competition law violations related to medium and high voltage cable markets. The Company has asserted a claim under this indemnity against SAFRAN SA related to the European Commission’s Statement of Objections, which is described in more detail below, to preserve its rights should an unfavorable outcome occur. On July 5, 2011, the European Commission issued a Statement of Objections in relation to its ongoing competition investigation to a number of wire and cable manufacturers in the submarine and underground power cables business, including the Company's Spanish affiliate and its subsidiary, Silec. The allegations related to Silec are for the eleven months following its acquisition by the Company's Spanish affiliate, for which the Company has filed a claim for indemnification from SAFRAN SA to preserve its rights should an unfavorable outcome occur. A Statement of Objections is a procedural document in which the European Commission communicates its preliminary views in regard to possible infringement of European competition law and allows the companies identified in the Statement of Objections to present procedural and substantive arguments in response before a final decision is made. Any unfavorable decision by the European Commission is subject to appeal. The Statement of Objections issued to the Company alleges that two affiliates in Europe engaged in violations of competition law in the underground power cables businesses for a limited period of time. The Company responded to the Statement of Objections on October 28, 2011 and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in the course of future proceedings with the European Commission on the Statement of Objections.

The European Commission has significant discretion in assessing fines and the Statement of Objections has only provided limited guidance on how it could potentially assess fines on each of the named wire and cable companies alleged to have violated applicable competition laws. At this time, the Company believes that it has substantial defenses to the allegations contained in the Statement of Objections. However, if the Company's defenses are ultimately not successful, the Company could be assessed fines, which if imposed, could be substantial and may have a material impact on its consolidated financial results. While the Company continues to incur legal and associated costs in this matter, it is unable, at this time, to estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result as an outcome of these proceedings.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company became aware of a potential claim involving multiple parties regarding the failure of a newly installed transformer in France, which was manufactured and installed by an independent third party, at a customer's hydroelectric plant. The Company supplied and installed cables and terminations to the transformer, which failed as it was being energized. The transformer was significantly damaged and the customer is alleging losses consisting of damage to the transformer and consequential damages due to its inability to operate the facility. The customer retained a court appointed technical expert to review the evidence to determine the root cause of the transformer failure and to allocate liability to the parties found responsible for such losses. The investigation is ongoing at this time and the Company believes it has substantial defenses to potential liability in regard to the transformer failure. At this time, the Company is unable to predict with any certainty an estimated range of damages or whether it will have liability, if any, attributable to the transformer failure.

In March 2012, the Company received formal notice of a claim for damages arising from a transformer fire that occurred in December 2010 allegedly resulting in loss of equipment and some consequential damages at a metal processing facility in Iceland. The Company supplied and installed cables and terminations to the transformer, which was manufactured and installed by an independent third party, during 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. The Company's work was inspected and accepted by the customer in March 2007. In August 2012, the customer initiated arbitration proceedings before the ICC Tribunal with a request to arbitrate in Pennsylvania. In September 2012, the Company initiated litigation in Pennsylvania state court seeking a declaration that it is not liable for any damages associated with the alleged loss resulting from the transformer fire and seeking to enjoin the ICC arbitration proceedings. The customer then moved the case from state to federal district court in the Western District of Pennsylvania which determined on motion that the ICC Tribunal not the court should decide whether the claims were arbitrable in the first instance. A decision on arbitrability is pending before the ICC Tribunal. The Company believes it has substantial defenses

to potential liability in regard to the transformer fire and claimed loss. At this time, the Company is unable to predict with any certainty an estimated range of damages or whether it will have any liability, if any, attributable to the transformer fire.

One of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries is involved in an administrative proceeding with a state treasury office regarding whether tax incentives granted to the Company by one Brazilian state are applicable to goods sold in another Brazilian state from September 2008 to December 31, 2009. The Company believes it correctly relied on the tax incentives granted and that it has substantial defenses to their disallowance by the Brazilian state claimant. The principal amount claimed to be due during the contested period is approximately $8 million which does not include penalties and interest which could be substantial. In September 2012, the 1st Chamber of the Administrative Court found that the Company was not liable for any incentive tax payments claimed by the state treasury office. This decision was appealed by the Brazilian state and the Administrative Court determined in April 2013 that the subsidiary is liable for a part of the contested amount. The Company's subsidiary is seeking formal judicial review of this latest decision on the merits in the Civil Court and obtained an injunction in April 2013 restraining collection of the tax pending the review process in the Civil Court in further proceedings. The Brazilian state subsequently sought to overturn this injunction in a State Court of Appeal and the State Court rejected the application in May 2013.
 
On December 19, 2012, the same Brazilian subsidiary received three notices of infraction from another Brazilian state related to alleged failure to pay taxes on the distribution of goods and services from one state for lack of appropriate documents and alleged failure to file electronic records with the state tax authorities in regard to inventories, goods receipts and invoices from acquisitions. The total amount of taxes allegedly due for the infractions is approximately $0.2 million and the total fines claimed amount to approximately $22.9 million. The Company believes it is exempt from the taxes claimed and has very substantial defenses to the claims. The Company has filed opposition to all the claims in January 2013 and will vigorously defend itself against such claims. At this time, the Company is unable to predict with any certainty an estimated range of damages or whether it will have any liability, if any, attributable to the taxes claimed.

The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings and administrative actions. Such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its result of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In Europe and Mediterranean as it relates to the 2005 purchase of shares of Silec, the Company has pledged to the bank the following: Silec shares, segment assets such as land and buildings and certain General Cable entities in Spain and Portugal, which have been designated as guarantors.

The General Cable Executive Severance Benefit Plan (“Severance Plan”), effective January 1, 2008, applicable to the Company's executive officers includes a change in control provision such that the executives may receive payments or benefits in accordance with the Severance Plan to the extent that both a change of control and a triggering event, each as defined in the Severance Plan, occur. Unless there are circumstances of ineligibility, as defined, the Company must provide payments and benefits upon both a change in control and a triggering event.

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements related principally to certain administrative, manufacturing and distribution facilities and transportation equipment. At September 27, 2013, future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable lease agreements during the twelve month periods beginning September 27, 2013 through September 30, 2018 and thereafter are $42.3 million, $37.0 million, $32.7 million, $26.8 million and $19.0 million, respectively, and $12.9 million thereafter.

As of September 27, 2013, the Company had $140.8 million in letters of credit, $301.3 million in various performance bonds and $303.2 million in other guarantees. Other guarantees include bank guarantees and advance payment bonds. These letters of credit, performance bonds and guarantees are periodically renewed and are generally related to risk associated with self-insurance claims, defined benefit plan obligations, contract performance, quality and other various bank and financing guarantees. Advance payment bonds are often required by customers when the Company obtains advance payments to secure the production of cable for long term contracts. The advance payment bonds provide the customer protection on their deposit in the event that the Company does not perform under the contract. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for excess availability under the Company’s various credit borrowings.

Fair Value Disclosure
The fair market values of the Company’s financial instruments are determined based on the fair value hierarchy as discussed in ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are as follows:
•
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
•
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company carries derivative assets and liabilities (Level 2) and marketable equity securities (Level 1) held in the rabbi trust as part of the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan at fair value. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the over-the-counter market are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to generate pricing and volatility factors, which are used to value the position. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. Marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value, which are based on quoted market prices.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions).

At September 27, 2013, there were no financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Similarly, there were no nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were also no transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements to be disclosed.

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt, as noted in Note 9 - Long-Term Debt,  was estimated using quoted market prices where available. For long-term debt not actively traded, fair values were based on valuations from third-party banks and market quotations for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Supplemental Guarantor and Parent Company Condensed Financial Information
General Cable Corporation (“Parent Company”) and its U.S. 100% owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) fully and unconditionally guarantee the $600.0 million of 5.75% Senior Notes due in 2022, the $355.0 million of 0.875% Convertible Notes due in 2013, and the $125.0 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes due in 2015 of the Parent Company on a joint and several basis. As previously reported, in December 2012, the Canadian Subsidiaries became Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries due to amendments of the Revolving Credit Facility; this effectively changed the Guarantor structure under the terms of the notes described above. The three and nine months ended September 28, 2012 Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) Information and the nine months ended September 28, 2012 Condensed Statements of Cash Flow Information were recast in previously reported financial statements, to reflect the removal of the Canadian subsidiaries as guarantor subsidiaries. The Canadian subsidiaries are now reflected as non-guarantor subsidiaries. The following tables present financial information about the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries in millions. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the "Eliminations" column of the Supplemental Guarantor and Parent Company Condensed Financial Information tables.
As previously reported, on October 29, 2012, the Company announced that it had identified historical accounting errors relating to inventory. The Company also identified additional errors related to foreign currency adjustments between the Company's U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and within the Company's Mexican subsidiary. As a result, the Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements and the quarterly operating results (unaudited), included in its Amendment No. 1 to the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, and the previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements included in its Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 30, 2012 and June 29, 2012 filed on March 1, 2013. The restatement of previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements is referred to as “Restatement No. 1”. Restatement No. 1 did not impact the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 27, 2013.
In remediating the material weaknesses associated with Restatement No. 1 the Company identified (1) an error in its historical revenue recognition accounting practices with regard to bill and hold sales in Brazil related to aerial transmission projects, (2) an error in the recoverability of certain recorded VAT asset amounts in Brazil and (3) various other errors which were determined to be individually immaterial. The Company has corrected these errors in the restated consolidated financial statements included in the 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and the condensed consolidated financial statements in Amendment No. 2 to the Company's Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 28, 2012, filed on January 21, 2014. (“Restatement #2”).
The following Supplemental Guarantor and Parent Company Condensed Financial Information has been reported in the financial information as recast and restated for the effects of the removal of the Canadian subsidiaries as guarantor subsidiaries and for the effects of Restatement No. 2, which are each reflected in separate tables. The effects of Restatement #2 are further described in Note 23 - Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) Information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the Condensed Statement of Cash Flow Information for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 presented in the "As Originally Filed" tables correspond to Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012 filed by the Company on March 1, 2013. As of December 31, 2012 the Condensed Balance Sheet Information presented in the "As Originally Filed" table corresponds to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed by the Company on March 1, 2013.
Before consideration of the Parent Company's and Guarantor Subsidiaries' proportionate share of their respective equity adjustments for net income (loss) applicable to Company common shareholders and other comprehensive income (loss), each of the errors described above and in further detail in Note 23 impact the condensed financial information of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and has been reflected in the "Effect of Restatement # 2" tables.
In the tables below, the effect of Restatement No. 2 on the Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) information for the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012 which were reported in the amended financial statements for the corresponding periods filed January 21, 2014, have been reported in the respective "Effect of Restatement #2" tables to reflect the portion of its subsidiaries' equity in earnings of other comprehensive income (loss), including the appropriate adjustment to eliminations.

Notes to Parent Company Condensed Financial Information
Basis of Presentation
In accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, restricted net assets of the Company’s subsidiaries exceeded 25% of the Company’s total consolidated net assets. The Company’s Spanish Term Loans include covenants that require its Spanish subsidiary to maintain minimum net assets of 197 million euros. This financial information is condensed and omits many disclosures presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements in the Amended Annual 2012 Form 10-K/A. In the nine months ended September 27, 2013, there have been no significant changes to these policies. In the nine months ended September 27, 2013, there have been no accounting pronouncements issued that are expected to have a significant effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following accounting pronouncements were adopted and became effective with respect to the Company in 2013 and 2012:
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 (“ASU 2013-02”), “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which amends ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The amended guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other

disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-02 as required.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." The amendments in this update require enhanced disclosures around financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013 and has included the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented in Note 10 - Financial Instruments of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Intercompany Activity
The Parent Company and its Guarantor Subsidiaries participate in a cash pooling program. As part of this program, cash balances are generally swept on a daily basis between the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ bank accounts and those of the Parent Company. There are a significant number of the Company’s subsidiaries that participate in this cash pooling arrangement and there are thousands of transactions per week that occur between the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries, all of which are accounted for through the intercompany accounts.

Parent Company transactions include interest, dividend, tax payments and intercompany sales transactions related to administrative costs incurred by the Parent Company, which are billed to Guarantor Subsidiaries on a cost-plus basis. These costs are reported in the Parent’s “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the respective period(s). All intercompany transactions are presumed to be settled in cash when they occur and are included in operating activities on the statement of cash flows.
A summary of cash and non-cash transactions of the Parent Company’s intercompany account is provided below for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2012:

23.
Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As previously reported, on October 29, 2012, General Cable Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it had identified historical accounting errors relating to inventory. The Company believes that the inventory accounting issues are, to a significant extent, attributable to a complex theft scheme in Brazil and, to a somewhat lesser extent, accounting errors, primarily in Brazil, affecting work in process and finished goods inventory that were not detected due to a deficient reconciliation process.
The Company also identified the following additional errors:
•
The Company incorrectly recorded foreign currency adjustments related to certain intercompany transactions between the Company's U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries.

•
The Company also made erroneous foreign currency adjustments related to inventory and property, plant and equipment within the Company's Mexican subsidiary.

As a result, the Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements and the quarterly operating results (unaudited), included in its Amendment No. 1 to the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, and the previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements included in its Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 30, 2012 and June 29, 2012 filed on March 1, 2013. The restatement of previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements is referred to as “Restatement No. 1”. Restatement No. 1 did not impact the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 27, 2013.
On October 10, 2013, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of General Cable Corporation (the "Company"), upon the recommendation of the Company's executive officers, concluded that due to certain accounting errors, in the aggregate, related to (i) revenue recognition in connection with historical "bill and hold" transactions for aerial transmission projects in Brazil and (ii) value added tax ("VAT") assets, the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2008 through 2012 and the interim periods during those years, and the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of, as well as for, the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2013 should no longer be relied upon and the Company corrected these errors within the restated condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company corrected other immaterial errors within the restated condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Other Immaterial Adjustments”). The condensed consolidated financial statement restatement for the bill and hold, VAT and Other Immaterial Adjustments is referred to as “Restatement No. 2”.
As a result of the remediation efforts related to previously disclosed internal control deficiencies, subsequent to the above referenced March 1, 2013 filing, the Company undertook an evaluation to reexamine its historical revenue recognition accounting practices with regard to bill and hold sales in Brazil related to aerial transmission projects. "Bill and hold" sales generally are sales meeting specified criteria under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to recognize revenue at the time title to goods and ownership risk is transferred to the customer, even though the seller does not ship the goods until a later time. In typical sales transactions other than those accounted for as bill and hold, title to goods and ownership risk is transferred to the customer at the time of shipment or delivery. As a result of this review, the Company identified instances where the requirements for revenue recognition under GAAP with respect to the bill and hold sales were not met. See the columns labeled “Brazil Bill and Hold” within the tables below for the effect of correcting this error by financial statement line item.

As a result of the remediation efforts related to the previously disclosed internal control deficiencies, subsequent to the above referenced March 1, 2013 filing, the Company undertook an evaluation to determine whether certain recorded VAT assets in Brazil associated with the inventory theft and related accounting errors were recoverable. Based on its evaluation, the Company determined that it will not recover VAT assets that were previously recognized from 2008 through 2012. In addition, the Company has recorded associated interest and penalties. See the columns labeled “Brazil VAT” within the tables below for the effect of correcting this error by financial statement line item.
  
As noted above, the Company corrected other immaterial errors; the most significant of which are described below:

The Company’s subsidiary in Germany incorrectly reported restricted cash as part of cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The restricted cash was related to milestone payments received in the fourth quarter of 2012 associated with one the subsidiary’s submarine cable projects.  The Company has corrected this error in the accompanying restated condensed consolidated financial statements by reclassifying such restricted cash amounts to prepaid expenses and other current assets.  As of December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents were overstated and prepaid expenses and other current assets were understated by $15.8 million.

Tables of Contents



The Company’s subsidiary in Spain did not properly record a valuation allowance against certain tax assets. As of December 31, 2012, the noncurrent deferred income tax liability was understated by $3.6 million. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012, income tax provision was understated by $3.5 million.
The Company’s subsidiaries in the Philippines incorrectly recorded depreciation expense associated with the fixed assets acquired when the Company increased its ownership interest in the entity from 40% to 60%, and therefore began consolidating these legal entities. As of December 31, 2012 , property, plant and equipment, net were overstated by $2.8 million. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012 cost of sales was understated by $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
The Company did not properly adjust certain receivables allowances. As of December 31, 2012, receivables, net of allowances were overstated by $2.1 million.
The Company’s subsidiary in Thailand incorrectly recorded items in prior years which should have been expensed, as capitalized costs included in property, plant and equipment, net. As of December 31, 2012, property, plant and equipment, net was overstated by $0.6 million. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012, cost of sales were understated (overstated) by ($0.1) million.
The Company’s subsidiary in Angola incorrectly recorded selling, general and administrative expenses as a deduction from net sales. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012, net sales and selling, general and administrative expenses were understated by $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively. There was no impact to income before income taxes or to net income attributable to Company common shareholders in any of the periods.
In previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements filed on January 21, 2014, the Company had also 1) revised the method used to calculate the quarterly amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements to correct the inventory theft and accounting errors in Brazil. The adjustments from the revised method had no impact on the previously reported annual amounts and are not materially different in any given interim period from the amounts calculated in arriving at the revised amounts previously presented and 2) restated its Supplemental Guarantor and Parent Company Condensed Financial Information to disclose for each period presented the effect of the corrections noted above on financial statement line items affected for each period via tabular disclosure to that condensed financial information.

See the columns labeled “Other Immaterial Adjustments” within the tables below for the impact by financial statement line item for the adjustments noted above and other immaterial corrections not separately disclosed.
The following tables present the effects of Restatement No. 2 on each line item of the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012.

GENERAL CABLE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All of the financial information presented in this Item 2 has been adjusted to reflect the restatement of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2012 and for the three and nine fiscal months ended September 28, 2012. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the Company’s financial position, changes in financial condition and results of operations. MD&A is provided as a supplement to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Notes”) and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.

Certain statements in this report including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial results and performance, plans and objectives, capital expenditures and the Company’s or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions, are forward-looking statements, and as such, General Cable desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” which is afforded to such statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those statements as a result of factors, risks and uncertainties over which the Company has no control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those stated in Item 1A of the Company’s 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on January 21, 2014.
Overview
The Company is a global leader in the development, design, manufacture, marketing and distribution of copper, aluminum and fiber optic wire and cable products for use in the energy, industrial, construction, specialty and communications markets. The Company additionally engages in the design, integration, and installation on a turn-key basis for products such as high and extra- high voltage terrestrial and submarine systems. The Company analyzes its worldwide operations based on three geographical segments: North America, Europe and Mediterranean, and ROW. As of September 27, 2013, the Company manufactured its product lines in 55 manufacturing facilities and sold its products through its global operations. The Company believes it has a strong market position in each of the segments in which it competes due to consistent execution of the Company's guiding principles which are:

•
Utilizing the Company's assets, financial strength and flexibility, distribution system, global and product diversity, brands, and the talents and strong commitment of employees to build profitability through excellence in the Company's primary business, wire and cable manufacturing and distribution;
•
Managing the Company's product portfolio by pursuing market share in fast growing and value added product lines as well as strategic investments in attractive long term growth opportunities;
•
Focusing on continuous improvement and operating efficiency through the execution of Lean Six Sigma (“Lean”) strategies and technical expertise to maintain the Company's position as a low cost provider;
•
Expanding operations through organic growth and acquisitions with continued focus in emerging economies;
•
Leveraging the Company's diversity and intellectual property through the sharing of best practices across the global organization; and
•
Maintaining high operational standards through sustainability, safety, and innovation.

By operating under these guiding principles, the Company has been able to build a strong market position in each of the segments in which it competes. The Company's key performance indicators are considered to be volume, as measured in metal pounds sold, operating income, net income, earnings per share, operating cash flows, returns on capital employed and invested capital and working capital efficiency.
Significant Current Business Trends and Events
The wire and cable industry is competitive, mature and cost driven with minimal differentiation for many product offerings among industry participants from a manufacturing or technology standpoint. Over the last several years, the Company and the industry have experienced stabilizing demand with pockets of relative demand strength starting in 2012 into 2013; however, the global demand remains at historically low levels in many markets. The following are significant trends and events that occurred in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 that affected the Company's operating results:

The Company’s reported results are directly influenced by the price of copper, and to a lesser extent, aluminum. The price of copper and aluminum as traded on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and COMEX has historically been subject to considerable volatility. The Company continues to experience volatile commodity pricing, primarily copper and aluminum, as well as volatility

64
Table of Contents

in other cost inputs. Volatility in the price of copper and aluminum and other raw materials, as well as fuel and energy, may in turn lead to significant fluctuations in our cost of sales or revenues. A significant portion of the Company's electric utility and telecommunications business and, to a lesser extent, the Company's electrical infrastructure business has metal escalators and de-escalators included in customer contracts under a variety of price setting and recovery formulas. The remainder of the Company's business requires that volatility in the cost of metals be recovered through negotiated price changes with customers. In these instances, the ability to change the Company's selling prices may lag the movement in metal prices by a period of time as the customer price changes are implemented. Therefore, in the short-term, during periods of escalating raw material cost inputs, to the extent the Company is able to increase prices in the market to recover the higher raw material costs, the Company will generally experience an increase in gross profit from the sale of its relatively lower value inventory as computed under the weighted average inventory costing method. If the Company is unable to increase prices with the rise in the raw material market prices due to low levels of demand or market dynamics, the Company will experience lower gross profit. Conversely, during periods of declining raw material cost inputs, to the extent the Company has to decrease prices in the market due to competitive pressure as the current cost of metals declines, the Company will generally experience downward pressure on its gross profit due to the sale of relatively higher value inventory as computed under the weighted average inventory costing method. If the Company is able to maintain price levels in an environment in which raw material prices are declining due to high levels of demand, the Company will experience higher gross profit. There is no exact future measure of the effect to the Company's profitability of the change of raw material cost inputs due to the unique set of selling variables and the high volume of transactions in any given period, each of which involves numerous individual pricing decisions. In the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, a 1% change in copper and aluminum costs would have impacted the cost of sales by approximately $7 million and $23 million respectively. This impact would directly impact gross profit if the Company was unable to adjust selling prices with a change in the price of copper and aluminum. To help reduce this volatility, the Company has implemented various pricing mechanisms and hedges a portion of its metal purchases when there is a firm price commitment for a future delivery but does not engage in speculative metals trading.

The Company generally has experienced and expects to continue to experience certain seasonal trends in many products in which demand is linked with construction spending. Demand for these products during winter months in certain geographies is usually lower than demand during spring and summer months. Therefore, larger amounts of working capital are generally required during winter months in order to build inventories in anticipation of higher demand during the spring and summer months, when construction activity increases. In turn, receivables related to higher sales activity during the spring and summer months are generally collected during the fourth quarter of the year. Additionally, the Company has historically experienced changes in demand resulting from poor or unusual weather.

On December 10, 2013 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company’s existing $125 million, one-year share repurchase program originally adopted on October 29, 2012, through the end of 2014. Stock purchases under this program may be made through the open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate by a special committee appointed by the Board. Under the stock repurchase program the Company purchased $0.5 million, or 18,493 common shares at an average price of $29.99 per share, during the three months ended September 27, 2013. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company purchased $19.5 million, or 597,531 common shares at an average price of $32.65 per share, during the nine months ended September 27, 2013. Under the prior stock repurchase program, that was effective from October 28, 2011 through October 28, 2012, the Company purchased $1.2 million, or 50,000 common shares at an average price of $24.80 per share, during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2012.
On May 20, 2013 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the payment of a regular quarterly dividend. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 the Company declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share, or approximately $8.9 million and $17.8 million in total, to all common shareholders of record as of June 10, 2013 and August 19, 2013. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record dates and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.
On September 25, 2012, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new senior unsecured notes (the "5.75% Senior Notes"). The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the 5.75% Senior Notes offering to call for its 7.125% Senior Fixed Rates Notes due 2017 and intends to use the balance to repay its 0.875% Convertible Notes at maturity and for other general corporate purposes. In the interim, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On July 21, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million Revolving Credit Facility, which was first amended in 2012 to increase the Facility size to $700 million and then subsequently amended and restated on September 6, 2013, to, among other things, increase the Revolving Credit Facility to $1.0 billion, $630 million of which may be borrowed by the U.S. borrower, $300 million of which may be borrowed by the European borrowers and $70 million of which may be borrowed by the Canadian borrower. The Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company's prior $400 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“Terminated Credit Facility”), which was set to mature in July 2012. The Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictions in areas consistent

65
Table of Contents

with the Terminated Credit Facility, including limitations on, among other things, distributions and dividends, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. In the aggregate, however, the Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company greater flexibility than did the Terminated Credit Facility, and the restrictions in the Revolving Credit Facility generally only apply in the event that the Company's availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below certain specific thresholds.
In the three months ended September 27, 2013 the Company’s executive management decided to no longer import building wire product into the United States from its General Cable Mexico unit (Mexico). This change is considered significant to the operation due to associated revenue, profit and the influence on the overall results of Mexico from this United States business. Based on the decision to no longer import building wire product from Mexico to the United States coupled with the pricing pressures in the Mexico market and the commercial challenges of entering into new businesses to support the new product lines the Company performed an asset impairment review for its Mexican business in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”.

The Mexico results are reported within the ROW reporting unit. The Mexico operations and assets include machinery and equipment which manufacture different products including power cables, building wire, telephone cables all housed in three manufacturing buildings. The three lines have a significant amount of shared costs including advertising, sales force, data processing, accounting, and management. The Company manages its business at a total Mexico level and has similar distribution methods. Therefore, based on the reporting structure, the lowest level of which identifiable cash flows that can be determined is the Mexico unit.

The Company developed its internal forward business plans and 2014 outlook under the guidance of new local and regional leadership to determine the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from the Mexican long lived assets. Based on the internal projections developed by executive management, the Company determined that the undiscounted expected future cash flows were less than the carrying value of the assets. Since the undiscounted expected cash flows was less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company engaged a third party valuation firm to determine the amount of the impairment by determining the fair value of the Mexican long lived assets.  To determine the fair value of these assets, the Company first estimated the future cash flows associated with the Mexican business based on management's best estimates considering the likelihood of various outcomes.  Subsequently, the Company performed a current appraisal of the Mexican machinery and equipment and real property assets utilizing standard valuation approaches.  Based on the results of the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $14.0 million in the three months ended September 27, 2013. 

The Company continues to actively identify key trends in the industry to capitalize on expanding and new niche markets or exit declining or non-strategic markets in order to achieve better returns. The Company also sets aggressive performance targets for its business and intends to refocus or divest those activities which fail to meet targets or do not fit long-term strategies. In 2012 the Company acquired the North American and Chinese business of Alcan Cable, Prestolite Wire, LLC and 60% of Productora de Cables Procables S.A.S. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - "Acquisitions and Divestitures" for further detail. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the respective dates of the acquisition. No material acquisitions or divestitures were made in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013.

In addition to the factors previously mentioned, the Company is currently being affected by the following general macro-level trends:

•
Currency volatility and continued political uncertainty in certain markets;
•
Competitive price pressures in certain markets;
•
New commodity deposits are more difficult to find, harder and more expensive to extract, and lower in quantities;
•
Recovery is slowly advancing in Europe and demand continues to be uneven for a broad spectrum of products in Europe;
•
New communications networks are an enabling technology, resulting in access to knowledge; a great equalizer;
•
Climate change concerns are resulting in increased regulatory energy mandates, emphasizing renewable sources of energy;
•
Project timing continues to be volatile resulting a lag in demand in all segments;
•
Countries are seeking greater energy independence for political and economic reasons; and
•
Emerging economies are expected to be relatively stable.

For the metal-adjusted net sales results, net sales for the third quarter of 2012 have been adjusted to reflect the third quarter of 2013 copper average price of $3.23 per pound (a $0.29 decrease compared to the same period in 2012) and the aluminum average price of $0.92 (a $0.06 decrease compared to the same period in 2012). Metal-adjusted net sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, are provided herein in order to eliminate an estimate of metal price volatility from the comparison of revenues from one period to another. The comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth below.

Net sales increased $44.5 million to $1,557.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $1,512.6 million in the third quarter of 2012. After adjusting third quarter 2012 net sales to reflect the $0.29 decrease in the average monthly copper price per pound and the $0.06 decrease in the average aluminum price per pound, net sales of $1,557.1 million reflects an increase of $100.4 million, or 7%, from the metal adjusted net sales of $1,456.7 million in 2012. Volume, as measured by metal pounds sold, increased 37.8 million pounds, or 13%, to 320.3 million pounds in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 282.5 million pounds in the third quarter of 2012. Metal pounds sold is provided herein as the Company believes this metric to be an appropriate measure of sales volume since it is not impacted by metal prices or foreign currency exchange rate changes. The increase in sales on a metal adjusted basis is primarily due to net sales of $188.0 million attributable to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2012 partially offset by unfavorable selling price and product mix of approximately $13.1 million, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes of $30.4 million on the translation of reported revenues and decreased volume of $44.1 million, excluding acquisitions.

Metal-adjusted net sales in the North America segment increased $117.8 million, or 22%. The increase in sales on a metal adjusted basis is due to net sales of $124.4 million attributable to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2012 and favorable selling price and product mix of approximately $9.3 million partially offset by decreased volume of $12.6 million, excluding acquisitions, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes of $3.3 million on the translation of reported revenues, principally related to the Canadian dollar. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions in the second half of 2012, volume, as measured by metal pounds sold, decreased 5.5 million pounds or 5%, in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in demand primarily reflects decreased demand in aerial transmission products.

Metal-adjusted net sales in the Europe and Mediterranean segment decreased $23.0 million, or 6%. The decrease in sales on a metal adjusted basis is due to unfavorable selling price and product mix of approximately $42.5 million and decreased volume of $3.2 million partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rate changes of $22.7 million on the translation of reported revenues primarily due to a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Volume, as measured by metal pounds sold, remained relatively flat in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012. Demand was primarily influenced by the continued weak economic conditions in Iberia, which negatively influenced demand across a broad spectrum of products as well as decreased high voltage export project activities from the French market.

Metal-adjusted net sales in the ROW segment increased $5.6 million or 1%. The increase in sales on a metal adjusted basis is primarily due to net sales of $63.6 million attributable to acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2012 and favorable selling price and product mix of approximately $20.1 million substantially offset by decreased volume of $28.2 million, excluding acquisitions, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes of $49.9 million on the translation of reported revenues primarily due to the weakening of certain currencies in Central and South America relative to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2012, volume, as measured by metal pounds sold, decreased by 12.3 million pounds, or 11%, in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in the demand is primarily attributable to higher project shipments for Brazilian aerial transmission projects in the third of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2013.
Cost of Sales

68
Table of Contents

Cost of sales increased $49.7 million to $1,396.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $1,347.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in the cost of sales is consistent with the increase in sales in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012. As previously noted, cost of sales is raw material intensive with copper and aluminum comprising the major cost components for cable products. At current metal prices, material costs are approximately 85% of total product costs with copper and aluminum metal costs comprising approximately 50% of total product cost.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $5.2 million, or 3%, in the third quarter of 2013 from the third quarter of 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 10% in the third quarter of 2013 and 11% in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge related to the Mexico long-lived assets of $14.0 million in the three months ended September 27, 2013.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) increased $22.1 million, or 23% in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012. SG&A as a percentage of metal-adjusted net sales was approximately 8% for the third quarter of 2013 and 7% for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in the SG&A is primarily attributable to additional SG&A in the third quarter of 2013 as a result of the impact of the acquisitions completed in the second half of 2012 as well as $1.0 million of costs related to the financial restatement.

The operating income for the North America segment decreased $1.6 million. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions completed in the second half of 2012, the operating income decreased $9.9 million primarily attributable to a decrease in volume and pricing for aluminum based electric utility product shipments including aerial transmission cables.

The increase in operating income for the Europe and Mediterranean segment of $0.6 million was primarily attributable to operating cost savings at the Company's German subsidiary, partially offset by decreased volume at the Company's French manufacturing facility as noted above as well as an unfavorable pricing environment for medium voltage products in France during the three months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2012.

The decrease in operating income for the ROW segment of $26.3 million was primarily attributable to the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge related to the long-lived Mexico assets of $14.0 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as well as a decrease in demand primarily attributable to higher project shipments for Brazilian aerial transmission projects in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2013.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) includes foreign currency transaction gains or losses, which result from changes in exchange rates between the designated functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated as well as gains and losses on derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges and ineffectiveness on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. During the three months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, the Company recorded other income of $9.5 million and other income of $9.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 27, 2013, other expense was primarily attributable to $2.9 million related to gains on derivative instruments that were not designated as cash flow hedges and other income of $6.6 million related to foreign currency transactions which included $4.3 million in foreign exchange gains related to copper imports in Venezuela that were approved at the 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate prior to February 13, 2013 and paid in the second quarter of 2013. For the three months ended September 28, 2012, other income was primarily the result of $8.4 million related to gains on

69
Table of Contents

derivative instruments which were not designated as cash flow hedges and ineffectiveness and other income of $0.9 million related to foreign currency transactions.
Tax Provision
The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 68.9% and 137.6% respectively. The relatively high effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to the greater mix of earnings in higher tax jurisdictions and the impact of full year forecasted tax losses in certain countries with deferred tax asset valuation allowances, including Germany, Spain, India and Mexico.
Preferred Stock Dividends
The Company accrued and paid $0.1 million in dividends on its preferred stock in the third quarter of 2013 and 2012.

Net sales increased $322.6 million to $4,759.9 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 from $4,437.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. After adjusting the nine months ended September 28, 2012 net sales to reflect the

70
Table of Contents

$0.26 decrease in the average monthly copper price per pound and the $0.05 decrease in the average aluminum price per pound, net sales of $4,759.9 million reflects an increase of $465.7 million, or 11%, from the metal adjusted net sales of $4,294.2 million in 2012. Volume, as measured by metal pounds sold, increased 161.4 million pounds, or 20%, to 971.6 million pounds in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to 810.2 million pounds for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. Metal pounds sold is provided herein as the Company believes this metric to be an appropriate measure of sales volume since it is not impacted by metal prices or foreign currency exchange rate changes. The increase in sales on a metal adjusted basis is primarily due to net sales of $648.5 million attributable to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2012 partially offset by decreased volume of $109.5 million, excluding acquisitions, unfavorable selling price and product mix of approximately $0.4 million and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes of $72.9 million on the translation of reported revenues.

Metal-adjusted net sales in the North America segment increased $467.7 million, or 29%. The increase in sales on a metal adjusted basis is due to net sales of $476.3 million attributable to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2012 and favorable selling price and product mix of approximately $8.1 million partially offset by decreased volume of $12.1 million, excluding acquisitions, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes of $4.6 million on the translation of reported revenues, principally related to the Canadian dollar. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions in the second half of 2012, volume, as measured by metal pounds decreased 5.1 million pounds in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The decrease in demand was primarily due to strong demand for utility cables in the first half of 2012, which benefited from a relatively mild winter and wind farm applications partially offset the by growing construction cables business.

Metal-adjusted net sales in the Europe and Mediterranean segment decreased $65.0 million, or 5%. The decrease in sales on a metal adjusted basis is due to unfavorable selling price and product mix of approximately $78.4 million and decreased volume of $13.5 million partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rate changes of $26.9 million on the translation of reported revenues primarily due to a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Volume, as measured by metal pounds sold, decreased by 5.7 million pounds, or 3%, for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The decrease in demand was primarily attributable to continued weak economic conditions in Iberia, which negatively influenced demand across a broad spectrum of products as well as high voltage export project activities from the French market.

Metal-adjusted net sales in the ROW segment increased $63.0 million or 4%. The increase in sales on a metal adjusted basis is primarily due to net sales of $172.2 million attributable to acquisitions in the second half of 2012 and favorable selling price and product mix of approximately $69.9 million partially offset by decreased volume of $83.9 million, excluding acquisitions, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes of $95.2 million on the translation of reported revenues primarily due to the weakening of certain currencies in Central and South America relative to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2012, volume, as measured by metal pounds sold, decreased by 35.4 million pounds, or 11%, in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The decrease in the demand is primarily attributable higher shipments for Brazilian aerial transmission projects in 2012 as compared to the 2013.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased $300.9 million to $4,250.0 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 from $3,949.1 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The increase in the cost of sales is consistent with the increase in sales in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. As previously noted, cost of sales is raw material intensive with copper and aluminum comprising the major cost components for cable products. At current metal prices, material costs are approximately 85% of total product costs with copper and aluminum metal costs comprising approximately 55% of total product cost.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $21.7 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 from the nine months ended September 28, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 11% for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The gross profit increase is consistent with the increase in sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The increase was partially offset by the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge related to the Mexico long-lived assets of $14.0 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2013
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) increased $67.3 million, or 23% for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012. SG&A as a percentage of metal-adjusted net sales was approximately 8% for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and 7% for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The increase in the SG&A is primarily attributable to the impact of the acquisitions completed in the second half of 2012 as well as $9.1 million of costs related to the financial restatement.

The increase in operating income for the North America segment of $12.8 million was primarily attributable to the acquisitions completed in the second half of 2012 resulting in an additional $36.3 million of operating income in the nine months ended September 27, 2013. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions operating income decreased $23.5 million primarily attributable to decrease demand as noted above as well as $9.1 million of costs related to the financial restatement and other restructuring costs and $3.0 million of costs related to the closure of a North America operating facility.

The decrease in operating income for the Europe and Mediterranean segment of $28.0 million was primarily attributable to increased costs at the Company's German submarine power cable manufacturing facility, decreased volume at the Company's French manufacturing facility as noted above, an unfavorable pricing environment for medium voltage products in France as well as the continued weak economic conditions in Spain, influencing demand and the pricing environment across a broad spectrum of products in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012.

The decrease in operating income for the ROW segment of $30.4 million was primarily attributable to the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge related to the Mexico long-lived assets of $14.0 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as well as decreased demand in Brazil in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2012 as noted above.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) includes foreign currency transaction gains or losses, which result from changes in exchange rates between the designated functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated as well as gains and losses on derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges and ineffectiveness on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. During the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, the Company recorded other expense of $58.8 million and other income of $2.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 27, 2013, other expense was primarily attributable to $40.9 million related to the Venezuela currency devaluation, $17.5 million related to loses on derivative instruments that were not designated as cash flow hedges and other expense of $1.4 million related to foreign currency transaction losses which include $16.0 million in foreign exchange gains related to copper imports in Venezuela that were approved at the 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate prior to currency devaluation on February 13, 2013. For the nine months ended September 28, 2012, other income was primarily the result of $6.8 million related to gains on derivative instruments which were not designated as cash flow hedges and ineffectiveness and other expense of $4.2 million related to foreign currency transactions.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased to $86.0 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 from $70.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2012 primarily attributable to the incremental interest related to the $600.0 million 5.75% Senior Notes issued on September 25, 2012 net of the $200.0 million of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2017 which were repaid on October 12, 2012.
Tax Provision
The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended 2013 and 2012 was 1,758.8% and 80.2% respectively. The extremely high effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2013 reflects the combined impact of the small $1.7 million pre-tax income, no tax benefits being available for the Venezuelan devaluation loss, the greater mix of earnings in higher tax jurisdictions, and the impact of the full year forecasted tax losses in certain countries with deferred tax asset valuation allowances, including Germany, Spain, India, and Mexico. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 reflects the adverse impact of $15.0 million of tax expense recorded to establish a full valuation allowance against Spanish and Portuguese deferred tax assets.

Preferred Stock Dividends
The Company accrued and paid $0.3 million in dividends on its preferred stock for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company maintains a strong financial position as evidenced by the Company's ability to generate substantial cash from operations and access to capital markets at competitive rates. Cash flows from operations as well as borrowings from our various credit facilities provide the primary source for financing operating expenses and other short-term liquidity needs. As necessary, the Company funds working capital needs, debt and interest payments, as well as discretionary investment in internal product development, acquisitions, Series A preferred stock dividends, cash dividends, repurchase of common stock and taxes. The overall financial position of the Company reflects the business results and a global liquidity management strategy that incorporates cash needs, economic factors, volatile working capital needs and tax considerations.

General Cable Corporation is a holding company with no operations of its own. All of the Company's operations are conducted, and net sales are generated, by its subsidiaries and investments. Accordingly, the Company's cash flow comes from the cash flows of its global operations. The Company's ability to use cash flow from its international operations, if necessary, has historically been adversely affected by limitations on the Company's ability to repatriate such earnings tax efficiently. As of September 27, 2013, approximately 77% of cash and cash equivalents were held outside of the U.S. by the Company's foreign subsidiaries compared with 76% as of December 31, 2012. If these funds are needed for the Company's operations in the U.S., the Company may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes and foreign withholding taxes to repatriate these funds. However, the Company's intent is to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund U.S. operations. In addition, our Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company flexibility in financing operating expenses and any other short-term liquidity needs of our U.S. operations.

Approximately 28% and 23% of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance as of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, was held in Venezuela. Operating cash flows attributable to Venezuela were $53.9 million and $40.0 million during the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively. Venezuela has foreign exchange and price controls which have historically limited the Company's ability to convert bolivars to U.S. dollars and transfer funds out of Venezuela. In Venezuela, government restrictions on the transfer of cash out of the country have limited the Company's ability to repatriate cash. The Company does not consider the net assets of Venezuela to be integral to the Company's ability to service its debt and operational requirements.
Summary of Cash Flows
Operating cash outflow of $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 reflects a net working capital use of $190.3 million as compared to $127.4 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The net working capital use is primarily due to an increase in receivables and inventory of $91.0 million and $64.0 million, respectively, and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities of $27.1 million. The increase in inventory is due to managements' strategic operating decision to build inventory to decrease lead times and improve customer service at certain ROW units. The decrease in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities is due to an effort to reduce cash balances in certain ROW units by reducing extended supplier terms. Overall, the use of working capital was partially offset by the generation of cash inflows of $167.2 million related to net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, amortization of restricted stock awards, foreign currency exchange gains (losses), deferred income taxes, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, convertible debt instruments noncash interest charges and losses on disposal of property.

Cash flow used by investing activities was $71.7 million in the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013, primarily reflecting $65.4 million of capital expenditures. The Company anticipates capital spending to be approximately $80 million to $100 million in 2013.

Financing activities generated $27.3 million of cash inflows in the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013. The increase in cash flow of financing activities is due to an increase in debt in the Company's ROW and Europe and Mediterranean segments to fund working capital needs partially offset by the payment of a quarterly cash dividend that totaled $0.18 per share of outstanding common stock or approximately $17.8 million to all common shareholders of record in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 as well as stock repurchases of $19.5 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2013. The Company evaluates factors such as future operating cash flow requirements, other cash flow expectations, investment and financing strategic plans and the overall cost of capital to determine the appropriate levels of short and long-term debt to maintain. Refer to "Debt and Other Contractual Obligations" below for details.

Debt and Other Contractual Obligations
The Company’s outstanding debt obligations were $1,528.6 million as of September 27, 2013 and the Company maintained approximately $1,015.7 million of excess availability under its various credit facilities around the world. The Company utilizes short and long term debt to address working capital needs, debt repayments, and interest as well as discretionary investments in internal product development, acquisitions, Series A preferred stock dividends, repurchase of common stock and taxes. Short-term liquidity and working capital needs are generally supported through operating cash flows.

On September 25, 2012, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new senior unsecured notes (the "5.75% Senior Notes"). The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the 5.75% Senior Notes offering to call for its 7.125% Senior Fixed Rates Notes due 2017 and intends to use the balance to repay its 0.875% Convertible Notes at maturity and for other general corporate purposes. In the interim, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On July 21, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million Revolving Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended to, among other things, increase the Revolving Credit Facility to $700 million, $630 million of which may be borrowed by the U.S. borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility and $70 million of which may be borrowed by the Canadian borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company's prior $400 million Terminated Credit Facility, which was set to mature in July 2012. The Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictions in areas consistent with the Terminated Credit Facility, including limitations on, among other things, distributions and dividends, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. In the aggregate, however, the restrictions in the Revolving Credit Facility provide the Company greater flexibility than those under the Terminated Credit Facility, and generally only apply in the event that the Company's availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below certain specific thresholds.

Failure to comply with any of the covenants, financial tests and ratios required by the Company's existing or future debt obligations could result in a default under those agreements and under other agreements containing cross-default provisions, as defined in the Company's Revolving Credit Facility, 0.875% Senior Convertible Notes, Subordinated Convertible Notes, Senior Floating Rate Notes, 5.75% Senior Notes and various other credit facilities maintained by the Company's restricted subsidiaries. A default would permit lenders to cease making further extensions of credit, accelerate the maturity of the debt under these agreements and foreclose upon any collateral securing that debt. Indebtedness under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility is secured by: (a) for US borrowings under the facility, a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's domestic assets and, (b) for Canadian borrowings, a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's domestic and Canadian assets.   In addition, the lenders under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility have received a pledge of (i) 100% of the equity interests in substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests in and 100% of the non-voting equity interests in certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, including the Company's Canadian subsidiaries. The Company also has incurred secured debt in connection with some of its European operations. The lenders under these European secured credit facilities also have liens on assets of certain of the Company's European subsidiaries. As a result of these pledges and liens, if the Company fails to meet its payment or other obligations under any of its secured indebtedness, the lenders under the applicable credit agreement would be entitled to foreclose on substantially all of the Company's assets and liquidate these assets. Broadly, cross-default provisions, would permit lenders to cause such indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity in the event a default remains unremedied for a period of time under the terms of one or more financing agreements, a change in control or a fundamental change. The following events occurred as a result of restatement of our financial statements and untimely filings of the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 28 , 2013 and September 27, 2013:

•
The Company’s 0.875% Convertible Notes issued in November 2006 in the amount of $355 million matured on November 15, 2013.  The Company fully satisfied and extinguished these notes by timely tendering the notional amount to the trustee under the applicable note indenture.  The Company used cash on hand and borrowings under its Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility to fund the retirement of the notes. 

•
By letter dated August 30, 2013, U.S. Bank National Association (“Trustee”), as the trustee under the note indenture dated as of December 18, 2009, by and among the Trustee and the Company (the “Indenture”), notified the Company that the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting covenants of the Indenture could constitute an event of default under the terms of the Indenture governing the Company’s Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2029 if not remedied within 60 days of August 30, 2013.   The Company did not comply with the reporting covenant within such 60 day period.  By notice to the Trustee, the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, elected to pay the note holders, as the sole and exclusive remedy for the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting covenants, additional interest at an annual rate of 0.50% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2029 until the Company complies with the reporting covenant (but for no longer than 365 days from October 29, 2013).

On November 4, 2013, the Company commenced a consent solicitation to amend the indentures (the “Proposed Amendment”) and to provide related waivers  with respect to its Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015 and 5.750% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”).  The Proposed Amendment and related waivers would amend the indentures governing the Notes to make certain changes to the reporting covenants and to waive defaults that have occurred prior to the effective date of the amendments.  The Solicitation expired on November 8, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”).  As of the Expiration Date, the Company had received the requisite number of Consents required to approve the proposed Amendments and waivers and, accordingly, the Company, its U.S. subsidiaries that serve as guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, executed supplemental indentures implementing the Proposed Amendment with respect to the Notes.  Under the terms of the amended indentures, the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Company’s quarterly reports on form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and September 27, 2013 on or prior to March 17, 2014 would satisfy the Company’s obligations under the reporting covenants of the indentures; provided that if the Company does not comply with the reporting covenants on or before March 17, 2014, then such noncompliance will constitute an event of default as defined in the indentures.  In connection with the consent solicitation, the Company agreed to pay additional interest at the rate of 0.50% per annum to the Note holders beginning on November 1, 2013, and continuing until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Company complies with the reporting covenants and (b) March 17, 2014.  In addition, Note holders who returned valid unrevoked consents prior to the Expiration Date are also eligible to receive a lump-sum consent fee equal to 0.25% in the event that the Company has not complied with the reporting covenants on or before January 31, 2014.

•
On October 23, 2013, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Facility to extend and amend the lenders’ temporary waiver related to any default or events of default arising under the Revolving Credit Facility due to the failure of the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants contained in the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding unsecured notes.  Under the amendment, the lenders temporarily waived any default or event of default arising under the Revolving Credit Facility due to the failure of the Company to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 28, 2013 and September 27, 2013 within the time periods prescribed by the Company’s outstanding note indentures.  The temporary waiver automatically expires on the earliest of (i) March 16, 2014, (ii) the commencement of any enforcement action, including any acceleration of the notes, under any indenture of the Company, and (iii) the occurrence of any other default or event of default under any indenture of the Company.      

•
Under the terms of the 5.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), the Company was required to file a registration statement for the 5.75% Senior Notes on or before the 1-year anniversary of the initial issuance of the 5.75% Senior Notes on September 25, 2012.  Because the Company has not filed the registration statement for the 5.75% Senior Notes within the required time, the terms of the 5.75% Senior Notes require the Company to pay additional interest under the Notes equal to 0.25% per year beginning on September 26, 2013 for the first 90 days of delay, and an additional 0.25% per year for each subsequent 90-day period until the registration statement is filed. 

As of September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all other material debt covenants.

The Company’s defined benefit plans at December 31, 2012 were underfunded by $163.7 million. Pension expense for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 was $15.6 million and cash contributions were approximately $7.2 million.

The Company anticipates being able to meet its obligations as they come due based on historical operating and financing experience and the expected availability of funds under its current credit facilities. At September 27, 2013, maturities of long-term debt during the twelve month periods beginning September 27, 2013 through September 28, 2018 and thereafter are $585.3 million, $149.5 million, $2.1 million, $1.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively, and $778.9 million thereafter.
Off Balance Sheet Assets and Obligations
The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements related principally to certain administrative, manufacturing and distribution facilities and transportation equipment. At September 27, 2013, future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable lease agreements during the twelve month periods beginning September 27, 2013 through June 30, 2018 and thereafter are $42.3 million, $37.0 million, $32.7 million, $26.8 million and $19.0 million, respectively, and $12.9 million thereafter.

As of September 27, 2013, the Company had $140.8 million in letters of credit, $301.3 million in various performance bonds and $303.2 million in other guarantees. Other guarantees include bank guarantees and advance payment bonds. These letters of credit, performance bonds and guarantees are periodically renewed and are generally related to risk associated with self-insurance claims, defined benefit plan obligations, contract performance, quality and other various bank and financing guarantees. Advance payment bonds are often required by customers when the Company obtains advance payments to secure the production of cable for long-

term contracts. The advance payment bonds provide the customer protection on their deposit in the event that the Company does not perform under the contract. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for excess availability under the Company’s various credit borrowings.

See the previous section, “Debt and Other Contractual Obligations,” for information on debt-related guarantees.
Environmental Matters
The Company's expenditures for environmental compliance and remediation amounted to approximately $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively. The Company's expenditures for environmental compliance and remediation amounted to approximately $2.1 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively. In addition, certain of General Cable’s subsidiaries have been named as potentially responsible parties in proceedings that involve environmental remediation. The Company has accrued $2.2 million at September 27, 2013, and at December 31, 2012, for all environmental liabilities. While it is difficult to estimate future environmental liabilities, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations or remediation costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the audited annual consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. In the nine months ended September 27, 2013, there have been no significant changes to these policies. The application of these policies requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, information that is available to management about current events and actions the Company may take in the future and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most critical judgments impacting the financial statements include those policies described below. In addition, significant estimates and judgments include allowances for accounts receivable and deferred income taxes; legal, environmental, and asbestos liabilities; inventory costing and valuation; share-based compensation; uncertain tax positions; assets and obligations related to pension and other postretirement benefits; goodwill and intangible valuations; financial instruments; and revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates.
In the nine months ended September 27, 2013, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Venezuelan Operations
On February 13, 2013 the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of its currency from 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar to 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar. Due to the impact of the devaluation of its currency by the Venezuelan government, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $40.9 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2013 primarily related to the remeasurement of the local balance sheet on the date of the devaluation at the 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary in Venezuela is the U.S. dollar. In the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 the Company recorded $4.3 million and $16.0 million in foreign exchange gains related to copper imports in Venezuela that were approved at the 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate prior to currency devaluation on February 13, 2013.

At September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s total assets in Venezuela were $335.4 million and $348.2 million and total liabilities were $87.5 million and $108.2 million, respectively. At September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total assets included BsF denominated monetary assets of $208.7 million and $202.2 million, which consisted primarily of $150.6 million and $142.1 million of cash, and $51.7 million and $56.9 million of accounts receivable, respectively. At September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total liabilities included BsF denominated monetary liabilities of $72.4 million and $73.2 million, which consisted primarily of accounts payable and other current and non-current accruals, respectively. All monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured at 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar at September 27, 2013 and at 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar at December 31, 2012, the rate the Company expects to remit dividends.

The Company's sales in Venezuela were 4% and 5% of consolidated net sales for the three fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively. Operating income in Venezuela was 45% of consolidated operating income for the three fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and 32% for the three fiscal months of September 28, 2012. The Company's sales in Venezuela were 4% of consolidated net sales for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012. Operating income in Venezuela was 30% and 22% of consolidated operating income for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively.

For the the three fiscal months ended September 27, 2013, 100% of Venezuela's sales were BsF denominated. For the three fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 Venezuela's cost of sales were approximately 44% BsF denominated and approximately 56% U.S. dollar denominated. For the three fiscal months ended September 28, 2012, Venezuela's sales and cost of sales were approximately 99% and 36% BsF denominated and approximately 1% and 64% U.S. dollar denominated, respectively. For the the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013, 99% of Venezuela's sales were BsF denominated and approximately 1% U.S. dollar denominated. For the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013 Venezuela''s cost of sales were approximately 41% BsF denominated and approximately 59% U.S. dollar denominated. For the nine fiscal months ended September 28, 2012, Venezuela's sales and cost of sales were approximately 99% and 36% BsF denominated and approximately 1% and 64% U.S. dollar denominated, respectively.

During the three and nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013, the Company settled $13.0 million and $55.9 million U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and accounts payable in Venezuela, respectively. During the three and nine fiscal months ended September 28, 2012 the Company settled $9 million and $40 million of U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and accounts payable in Venezuela, respectively. During the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2013, settlements were made at the rate of 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar on U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and accounts payable.

77
Table of Contents

Settlements were made at the rate of of 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar on U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and accounts payable in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 because the authorization for copper imports was submitted prior to the devaluation on February 13, 2013. At September 27, 2013, $15.2 million of requests for U.S. dollars to settle U.S. dollar denominated liabilities remained pending, which the Company expects will be settled at the 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate. During the nine fiscal months ended September 28, 2012, settlements were made at the rate of 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar on U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and accounts payable. Approximately $1.1 million of the requested settlements have been pending less than 90 days and $14.1 million have been pending over 90 days. Currency exchange controls in Venezuela continue to limit the Company’s ability to repatriate funds from Venezuela. We do not consider the net assets of Venezuela to be integral to the Company’s ability to service its debt and operational requirements.

As a result of government restrictions, Venezuela continues to operate in a difficult economic environment. The Company has historically taken steps to address operational challenges including obtaining approval of copper imports at the official rates, purchasing other raw material products domestically, and adjusting prices to reflect raw material cost and adherence to government price controls.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
General Cable is exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and raw material (commodity) prices. To manage risks associated with the volatility of these natural business exposures, General Cable enters into interest rate, commodity and foreign currency derivative agreements, as well as copper and aluminum forward pricing agreements. General Cable does not purchase or sell derivative instruments for trading purposes. General Cable does not engage in trading activities involving commodity contracts for which a lack of marketplace quotations would necessitate the use of fair value estimation techniques. Depending on the extent of an unrealized loss position on a derivative contract held by the Company, certain counterparties may require a deposit to secure the derivative contract position. As of September 27, 2013 there were no contracts held by the Company that required collateral to secure the Company's derivative positions and at December 31, 2012 there were no contracts held by the Company that required collateral to secure the Company's derivative positions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, September 27, 2013 (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on that evaluation, and as a result of management's identification of the material weaknesses described below, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date.

78
Table of Contents

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As disclosed in more detail in the Company's Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A”), management identified the following control deficiencies in the processes and procedures related to (i) the computation of cost of sales and balances of finished goods and work-in-process inventory, including the related VAT assets, and revenue recognition in connection with bill and hold transactions, in each case in Brazil, within the Company's Rest of World ("ROW") segment and (ii) ROW segment management oversight, including management override affecting financial reporting and the setting of an improper “tone at the top,” which placed an excessive emphasis on meeting business plan goals rather than on the integrity of the financial reporting process; these deficiencies, which prevented the timely detection of theft of a substantial quantity of inventory, the detection of the overstatement of VAT assets due to the theft and accounting errors, and the detection of failure to meet requirements under relevant accounting pronouncements related to revenue recognition in connection with bill and hold transactions , collectively constituted a material weakness in inventory controls in Brazil and material weaknesses in the controls related to ROW executive management. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, each of the Company’s CEO and CFO has concluded, based on his knowledge, that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this amendment on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this report, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Inventory Control Deficiencies in Brazil
•
Access to information technology systems in Brazil was not effectively controlled.
•
Processes and control activities designed to support and reconcile inventory general ledger entries were not effected, were incorrectly applied or were overridden.
•
Physical security controls to protect assets at one of the Brazilian facilities were not sufficient to prevent theft.
•
Inventory controls associated with product subject to bill and hold transactions were not effective.
Control Deficiencies Related to ROW Executive Management
•
ROW executive management overrode controls, resulting in a delay in the reporting of inventory accounting issues and allegations of theft to the Company's executive management, engaged in other improper actions (none of which had a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements) designed to delay the reporting of expenses or other charges, and set an improper "tone at the top," which placed an excessive emphasis on meeting business plan goals rather than on the integrity of the financial reporting process.
•
The Company believes that the effects of the weaknesses in the ROW control environment, coupled with the deficiencies in inventory controls in Brazil noted above, caused the Company to reach an erroneous accounting conclusion with respect to the recognition of revenues in bill and hold transactions.
For additional information regarding the restatement and the material weaknesses identified by management, see Note 23 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” in the Company's 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period ended September 27, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Although we have implemented or enhanced controls to address the remediation of such material weaknesses, the Company's testing of these remediation actions is in process and therefore, the Company is not yet in a position to conclude on whether such material weaknesses are remediated as of the date of the filing of this report. Actions and changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 are described in detail in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” in the 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.   These changes continued to be refined and changes during this quarter are therefore not considered on their own to have materially affected the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Two civil complaints have been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by named plaintiffs on behalf of purported classes of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s publicly traded securities, in one case which was filed on October 21, 2013 between May 3, 2011 and October 14, 2013, inclusive, and in the other case, which was filed on December 4, 2013, between May 2, 2011 and November 4, 2013, inclusive, against the Company, Gregory Kenny, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Robinson, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The complaints allege claims under the anti-fraud and controlling person liability provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, alleging generally, among other assertions, that defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding revenue recognition and other Company financial matters and omitted to state material facts, including, among other things, that there was a lack of adequate internal controls, thereby artificially inflating the prices at which our securities traded. The complaints seek damages in undefined amounts, as well as attorney’s fees, experts’ fees and other costs. In addition, a derivative complaint was filed on January 7, 2014 in the Campbell County, Kentucky Circuit Court against all but one member of our Board of Directors, including Mr. Kenny, a former director and against Mr. Robinson and two former ROW officials, one of whom is a former executive officer of the Company. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by knowingly failing to ensure that the Company implemented and maintained adequate internal controls over its accounting and financial reporting functions and by knowingly disseminating to stockholders materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company's financial results and internal controls. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount, appropriate equitable relief to remedy the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, attorney's fees, experts’ fees and other costs. We believe the purported class action complaints, and the derivative complaint insofar as it relates to our directors and Mr. Robinson, are without merit and intend to vigorously contest the actions.
As of the date of this filing, there have been no additional material legal proceedings or material developments in the legal proceedings disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
