Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the “Company” or “Carlisle”) in accordance and consistent with the accounting policies stated in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and, of necessity, include some amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments.  Future actual results could differ from such current estimates.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries.  Carlisle accounts for other investments in minority-owned companies where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, on the equity basis.  Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Note 2 — Reclassifications and Revisions

 

Certain reclassifications and revisions have been made to prior period’s information to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows:

 

·                  The Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 have been revised to reflect the presentation of Earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”).

 

·                  The Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reclassification of the power transmission product line from discontinued operations to continuing operations and to reflect the classification of Johnson Truck Bodies business as a discontinued operation. See Note 9 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

 

·                  The segment disclosures for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 in Note 15 have been revised to reflect the formation in the fourth quarter of 2009 of the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment that combined the previous tire and wheel, industrial brake and friction and the power transmission product lines, the classification of the power transmission product line as a continuing operation and its associated assets as held and used, the classification of the Johnson Truck Bodies business as a discontinued operation and the use of EBIT as the measure of segment profitability.

 

Note 3 - New Accounting Pronouncements

 

New accounting standards adopted

 

There were no accounting standards adopted in the first quarter of 2010.

 

New accounting standards issued but not yet adopted

 

There are currently no accounting standards that have been issued that will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.

Note 4 - Fire Gain

 

On November 16, 2008, a fire occurred at the tire and wheel plant in Bowdon, GA, and as a result the building and the majority of the machinery, equipment, records and other assets were destroyed. In order to service customers, partial operations were initiated at a facility in Heflin, AL, and some production was transferred to other tire and wheel plants or outsourced to third parties.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2008, while the Company was negotiating its claim, a pretax loss was recorded representing the deductible of $0.1 million. The net result of fire-related transactions in the first quarter of 2009 was a $2.5 million pretax gain, which included a $2.6 million pretax gain on the settlement of the inventory claim which was the difference between $8.9 million, representing the loss on inventory recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 for which a receivable was recorded at December 31, 2008, and $11.5 million of cash proceeds received from the insurance carriers to settle the inventory claim in the first quarter of 2009. Total payments of $13.5 million were received from the insurance carriers in the first quarter of 2009.

 

The net result of fire-related transactions in the second quarter of 2009 was a $24.5 million pretax gain on the settlement of all other claims and that amount was reported as Gain related to fire settlement.  This gain was the difference between the $41.0 million of cash proceeds received from the insurance carriers in settlement of all outstanding claims and the $11.2 million insurance claims receivable balance at March 31, 2009 included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets for a portion of the expected insurance reimbursements plus $5.3 million, representing fire-related cost in the second quarter of 2009.

 

From January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 cash proceeds of $54.5 million were received from the insurance carriers. Losses and cost incurred from November 16, 2008 through June 30, 2009 of $27.6 million included $8.9 million of inventory; $5.7 million of building, machinery, equipment and other assets; and $13.0 million of fire-related cost. The $26.9 million pretax gain from November 16, 2008 through June 30, 2009 was the difference between cash proceeds of $54.5 million and the losses of $27.6 million. On a quarterly basis, a loss of $0.1 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008, a gain of $2.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2009, and a gain of $24.5 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2009.

 

A minimal amount of fire-related scrap was sold in the third quarter of 2009. Since all insurance claims due to this fire were settled with the carriers no additional insurance proceeds are anticipated.

 

Note 5 - Borrowings

 

At March 31, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s par value $150 million, 6.125% senior notes due 2016, using Level 2 inputs, is approximately $165 million. The fair value of the Company’s senior notes is based on current year yield rates plus the Company’s estimated credit spread available for financings with similar terms and maturities.

 

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, within the tire and wheel product line of the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment, property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $2.9 million were written down to a fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $2.9 million, which was included in Other (income) expense, net. The fair value determination was based upon Level 3 inputs reflecting management’s determination of the net realizable value of the assets. Such assets primarily reflected leasehold improvements in its Buji, China operations that could not be transferred upon consolidation of production into Meizhou, China.

 

Note 7 — Stock-Based Compensation

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company expensed stock-based compensation awards under the 2004 Executive Incentive Program and the 2005 Nonemployee Director Equity Plan. A detailed description of the awards under these plans is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

The compensation cost recorded for all of the Company’s share-based compensation plans during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

Grants

 

In the first quarter of 2010 the Company awarded 590,020 stock options, 101,785 restricted stock awards and 101,785 performance share awards with an aggregate fair value of approximately $14.3 million to be expensed over the requisite service period for each award which generally equals the stated vesting period.

 

The grant date fair value of the 2010 stock options with a three-year graded vesting condition was estimated under the Black-Scholes-Merton formula using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

6



 

Expected dividend yield

 

1.87

%

Expected life in years

 

5.75

 

Expected volatility

 

32.7

%

Risk-free interest rate

 

2.65

%

 

The Company initially granted performance shares in the first quarter of 2010.  The performance shares vest based on the employee rendering three years of service to the Company and the attainment of a market condition over the performance period, which is based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return versus a peer group of companies over a pre-determined time period as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The grant date fair value of the 2010 performance shares was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation approach.  Such approach entails the use of assumptions regarding the future performance of the Company’s stock and those of the peer group of companies.  Those assumptions include expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, correlation coefficients and dividend reinvestment.  Dividends accrue on the performance shares during the performance period and are to be paid in cash based upon the number of awards ultimately earned.

 

Note 8 — Acquisitions

 

On October 1, 2009, the Company acquired the remaining 51% interest in Japan Power Brake, Inc. (“JPB”), a leading provider of high performance braking solutions for off-highway equipment, primarily in the mining and construction industries in Japan, for a purchase price of approximately $4.2 million. JPB is located in Atsugi, Japan and is under the management direction of the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment. The purchase price included an allocation of $0.9 million to other intangible assets reflecting a non-compete agreement with a useful life of 10 years. The remaining purchase price was allocated to current assets; property, plant and equipment; and current liabilities.

 

On October 1, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Electronic Cable Specialists (“ECS”), a leading provider of electrical and structural products and services for the aviation, medical and industrial markets, for a purchase price of approximately $42.4 million. The acquisition of ECS expands Carlisle’s product and system reach into additional avionics applications and strengthens Carlisle’s engineering and design capabilities. The acquisition will allow for the reduction of expenses through consolidation of certain sales, general and administrative functions and through in-house production of certain components which were previously purchased by ECS from third parties. Carlisle also expects to achieve increased sales from its existing customer base with the addition of the engineering and design capabilities of ECS. ECS is located in Franklin, WI and is under the management direction of the Interconnect Technologies segment. The purchase price allocation resulted in current assets of $15.1 million; property, plant and equipment of $1.9 million; goodwill of $13.5 million; identified intangible assets of $14.5 million; and non-interest bearing current liabilities of $2.6 million. Of the $14.5 million of acquired intangible assets, $2.6 million was assigned to trade names that are not subject to amortization, $4.5 million was assigned to customer relationships with a determinable useful life of 17 years, and the remaining $7.4 million was assigned to other intangible assets with a weighted average useful life of 14.7 years. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

 

On September 18, 2009, the Company acquired the assets of Jerrik, Inc. (“Jerrik”), a recognized leader in the design and manufacture of highly engineered military and aerospace filter connections, for approximately $33 million. The acquisition expands the Company’s range of products serving the defense and aerospace markets. The acquisition will allow for reduction of expenses through consolidation of certain sales, general and administrative functions and through in-house production of certain components, which were previously purchased by Jerrik from third parties. Jerrik is located in Tempe, AZ and is under the management direction of the Interconnect Technologies segment. The

purchase price allocation resulted in current assets of $7.9 million; property, plant and equipment of $1.8 million; goodwill of $13.7 million; identified intangible assets of $10.8 million; and current liabilities of $1.2 million. Of the $10.8 million of acquired intangible assets, $0.2 million was assigned to trade names with determinable useful life of 2 years, $7.1 million was assigned to customer relationships with a determinable useful life of 18 years, and the remaining $3.5 million was assigned to other intangible assets with a weighted average useful life of 18.1 years. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

 

Note 9 — Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

 

On February 2, 2010, as part of its commitment to concentrate on its core businesses, the Company sold all of the interest in its refrigerated truck bodies business for $20.3 million, which approximated book value.  The final purchase price is subject to adjustment based on working capital existing at the closing date.  In addition, certain indemnifications have been made to the buyer, which could possibly reduce the purchase price in subsequent periods.  The Company does not believe the impact of these issues will result in a material change to the purchase price.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company announced its decision to pursue disposition of its on-highway friction and brake shoe business.  During the first quarter of 2009, the Company made the decision to exit, rather than sell, the on-highway friction and brake shoe business and dispose of the assets as part of a planned dissolution.

 

In the second quarter of 2007, the Company announced plans to exit the custom thermoset products molding operation (“thermoset molding operation”). The disposition of the thermoset molding operation was completed in 2008.

ETS U.S. Customs Matter

 

The Company received written correspondence from the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Investigations (“ICE”) dated March 11, 2010 indicating that it initiated an investigation relating to the classification of certain rubber tires imported by its tire and wheel operation within the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment since 2004.  The Company has responded to ICE’s inquiry and continues to fully cooperate with ICE in responding to requests for additional information.  The Company has been separately working with U. S. Customs and Border Protection on this matter since late 2009 to properly classify its products.

 

At this time, the Company cannot predict or determine the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate the amount of additional duties and/or civil or criminal fines or penalties, if any, owed as a result of this investigation.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company, but may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for a particular period.

 

Note 15 - Segment Information

 

The Company manages and reports its results under the following segments:

 

·                  Construction Materials: the “construction materials” business;

Engineered Transportation Solutions — During the first three months of 2010, the Company had two consolidation projects underway within the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment in its continuing efforts to reduce costs and streamline its operations.  Descriptions of these projects are set forth below:

 

·                  In the third quarter of 2009, the Company announced plans to consolidate its tire manufacturing operations in Heflin, AL, Carlisle, PA, and portions of Buji, China into a new facility in Jackson, TN purchased in the third quarter of 2009. The consolidation of the tire manufacturing operations into Jackson, TN is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2010.

 

·                  In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company announced plans to close its friction product manufacturing facility in Logansport, IN and to consolidate operations into its locations in Hangzhou, China and Bloomington, IN.  This consolidation is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2010.

 

The Company expects the total cost of these consolidation projects will be approximately $26.4 million, of which $10.9 million has been incurred through March 31, 2010, and $15.5 million is expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2010. The Company recorded $2.3 million of expense during the first quarter 2010 primarily consisting of employee termination costs and other relocation costs. Amounts expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2010 primarily relate to employee termination and other costs associated with the relocation of employees and equipment.

 

Included in Accrued expenses at March 31, 2010 was $5.4 million related to unpaid severance, moving and relocation and other costs for the above projects as well as other consolidation projects completed in 2009.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded $3.7 million in exit and disposal costs, including $2.9 million in fixed asset impairment charges, primarily related to consolidation of its tire manufacturing operations in China completed in 2009.

 

16



 

Interconnect Technologies — In the fourth quarter of 2009, in efforts to reduce costs and streamline operations, the Company announced that it would consolidate its Vancouver, WA facility into its facilities in Long Beach, CA, Tukwila, WA, and Dongguan, China and close its Vancouver facility. This consolidation is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2010.

 

The Company expects the total cost of this consolidation project will be approximately $4.6 million, of which $3.7 million has been incurred through March 31, 2010, and $0.9 million is expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2010. The Company recorded $0.6 million of expense during the first quarter 2010 primarily consisting of employee termination costs and other relocation costs. Amounts expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2010 relate primarily to employee termination, lease termination and other costs associated with the relocation of employees and equipment.

 

As of March 31, 2010, a $0.5 million liability exists for unpaid exit and disposal costs related to the consolidation of the Vancouver, WA facility.

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

 

Executive Overview

 

Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a diversified manufacturing company focused on achieving profitable growth internally through new product development and product line extensions, and externally through acquisitions that complement the Company’s existing technologies, products and market channels.  Carlisle manages its businesses under the following segments:

 

·                  Construction Materials: the “construction materials” business;

·                  Engineered Transportation Solutions: the “engineered transportation solutions” business, combining the “tire and wheel” product line, the “off-highway braking” product line and the “power transmission belt” product line;

·                  Interconnect Technologies: the “interconnect technologies” business;

·                  FoodService Products: the “foodservice products” business; and

·                  Specialty Products: the “specialty trailer” business.

 

While Carlisle has offshore manufacturing operations, the markets served by the Company are primarily in North America. Management focuses on maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet, year-over-year improvement in sales, earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”) margins and earnings, globalization, generating strong free cash flow from operations, and decreasing working capital as a percentage of sales.  Resources are allocated among the operating companies based on management’s assessment of their ability to obtain leadership positions and competitive advantages in the markets they serve.

 

During 2008, the Company began the implementation of the Carlisle Operating System, a manufacturing structure and strategy deployment system based on lean enterprise and six sigma principles.  The purpose of the Carlisle Operating System is to eliminate waste in all production and business processes, improve manufacturing efficiencies to increase productivity, and to increase EBIT margins and improve cash conversion.

 

For a more in-depth discussion of the results discussed in this “Executive Overview”, please refer to the discussion on “Financial Reporting Segments” presented later in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis”.

 

Net sales of $562.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 represented a 5.8% increase from net sales of $531.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Acquisitions in the Interconnect Technologies and Engineered Transportation Solutions segments contributed $16.2 million of additional sales in the current quarter as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.   Organic sales (defined as net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures within the last twelve months as well as the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates) increased by 1.9% from the first quarter of the prior year, as a result of higher demand net of selling price decreases in the Construction Materials, Engineered Transportation Solutions and Interconnect Technologies segments.  The impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales was an increase of less than 1% in the first quarter of 2010.

 

EBIT in the first quarter of 2010 was $38.6 million, a 99% increase as compared to EBIT of $19.4 million reported in the first quarter of 2009.  With the exception of the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment, EBIT improved in all segments, primarily reflecting lower raw material costs, higher sales

volumes and efficiencies gained through the Carlisle Operating System, partially offset by selling price reductions.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations of 37.3% for the first quarter 2010 compared to an effective tax rate of 34.1% for the first quarter 2009. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from the statutory rate within the United States of 35% due primarily to the deduction attributable to U.S. production activities, state tax requirements, earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates different from the statutory U.S. federal rate, and tax credits.  Starting in 2010, the Company is subject to higher tax requirements for certain of its operations in China.

 

Income from continuing operations, net of tax was $23.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and represented a 109% increase compared to income from continuing operations of $11.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009.

 

Sales and Earnings

 

Consolidated Results of Continuing and Discontinued Operations

 

Net sales of $562.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 represented a 5.8% increase from net sales of $531.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Acquisitions in the Interconnect Technologies and Engineered Transportation Solutions segments contributed $16.2 million of additional sales in the current quarter as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.   Organic sales increased by 1.9% from the first quarter of the prior year, reflecting a 6.5% increase due to higher volumes of products sold resulting from higher demand, partially offset by a 4.6% decrease due to selling price decreases primarily in the Construction Materials, Engineered Transportation Solutions and Interconnect Technologies segments.  The impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales was an increase of less than 1% in the first quarter of 2010.

 

Cost of goods sold of $448.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased $9.6 million, or 2.2% from $438.8 million in the first quarter of 2009, on an increase in net sales of 5.8%.  The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to costs of goods sold from acquisitions of $11.9 million, which was partially offset by lower raw material costs as compared to the first quarter 2009, which was impacted by higher raw material costs.

 

Gross margin (net sales less cost of goods sold expressed as a percent of net sales) increased from 17.4% in the first quarter of 2009 to 20.2% in the first quarter of 2010. The primary reasons for the margin improvement were lower raw material costs and efficiency gains from the Carlisle Operating System.

 

Selling and administrative expenses of $72.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to expenses of $69.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a 4.6% increase on higher net sales of 5.8%.  Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter 2010 included $3.4 million of expenses from acquisitions in the Interconnect Technologies and Engineered Transportation Solutions segments.  As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 12.9% and 13.0% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

 

Gain related to fire settlement of $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 reflects insurance recoveries on inventory less associated losses resulting from a fire which destroyed the Company’s tire manufacturing facility in Bowden, GA in November, 2008.

 

Other income, net of $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to Other expense, net of $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  Results for 2010 include a $1.1 million pre-tax gain in

 

19



 

the Specialty Products segment on the sale of its plant in Brookville, PA, which was closed in 2009.  Results for 2009 include $2.9 million in asset impairment charges related to plant restructuring in the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment.

 

EBIT in the first quarter of 2010 was $38.6 million, a 99% increase from EBIT of $19.4 million reported in the first quarter of 2009.  With the exception of the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment, EBIT improved in all segments, primarily reflecting lower raw material costs, higher sales volumes and efficiencies gained through the Carlisle Operating System, partially offset by selling price reductions.  Costs related to plant consolidations in the first quarter 2010 of $2.9 million compared to plant consolidation costs of $3.7 million in the same period in 2009. As a percent of sales, EBIT was 6.9% in the first quarter of 2010, up from 3.7% in the first quarter of 2009.

 

Income from continuing operations, net of tax was $23.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, up 109% compared to income from continuing operations of $11.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share for the same period in 2009.

 

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $1.3 million compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $4.4 million for the same period in 2009.   During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recognized an after-tax gain of $1.3 million on the sale of real estate from its former on-highway friction and brake shoe business.  In the first quarter of 2010, the Company also sold its interest in the refrigerated truck bodies business for approximately book value.  During the first quarter of 2009, the Company made the decision to exit the on-highway friction and brake shoe business and incurred an after-tax loss of $3.7 million related to the dissolution of this business.

 

Net income of $24.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to net income of $6.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Construction Materials

 

Net sales in the Construction Materials segment during the first quarter 2010 increased 4.3% to $216.5 million from $207.6 million during the same period of the prior year. The improvement in sales was due primarily to an 11.5% increase in the volume of products sold reflecting higher demand in the Company’s commercial reroofing and international markets, which was partially offset by selling price decreases of 7.3% and lower demand in the insulation product line.

 

Segment EBIT during the first quarter 2010 was $19.3 million compared to $5.4 million in the first quarter 2009, an increase of 257%.  EBIT margins (EBIT expressed as percentage of net sales) increased from 2.6% in 2009 to 8.9% in the current year. The improvement was attributable to lower raw material costs as compared to the first quarter of 2009. EBIT improvement was also attributable to higher sales volume, reduced operating costs and efficiency gains from the Carlisle Operating System, and improved overhead absorption resulting from higher production levels. Partially offsetting the favorable impact of these items in the first quarter of 2010 was a 7.3% decrease in selling prices as compared to the first quarter of 2009.

 

Net sales and EBIT are generally higher for this segment in the second and third quarters of the year due to increased construction activity during these periods. The Company has seen recent improvement in demand in the reroofing market, but continues to face many uncertainties in the coming year, including those regarding the economic recovery and the continued lack of financing for new construction, which could

 

21



 

impede improvement in demand.  In addition, recent trends indicate raw material costs could continue to escalate, and while the Company will attempt to recover these additional costs through price increases or surcharges, the success of those actions is unknown.

 

Engineered Transportation Solutions

 

Net sales in the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment during the first quarter 2010 of $212.1 million increased by 4.0% from net sales of $204.0 million in the first quarter of 2009.  A 3.4% decrease in selling prices was offset by a 5.0% increase in the volume of product sold.  Sales from the acquisition of Japan Power Brake contributed $1.5 million to net sales in the first quarter of 2010.  Higher volumes in the power-transmission belt products line, and higher volumes of high-speed trailer and power-sports products sold through the replacement market, were offset by lower sales volumes in the outdoor power equipment market.

 

Segment EBIT during the first quarter 2010 declined by 16% to $13.6 million from income of $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2009.  EBIT margin fell to 6.4% in the first quarter of 2010, down from 7.9% in the first quarter of 2009.   The decrease in EBIT margin in 2010 was primarily due to reduced selling prices which were lowered in 2009 in response to competitive pricing actions.  Plant restructuring expenses in the first quarter of 2010 of $2.3 million compared to restructuring expenses of $3.7 million in 2009.

 

EBIT margin in the first quarter of 2009 was favorably impacted by a $2.5 million gain from insurance recoveries that was the result of insurance recoveries related to a fire at the Company’s facility in Bowdon, GA, which occurred in November 2008. For more information see Note 4 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

During the first three months of 2010, the Company had two consolidation projects underway within the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment in its continuing efforts to reduce costs and streamline its operations.  Descriptions of these projects are set forth below:

 

·                  In the third quarter of 2009, the Company announced plans to consolidate its tire manufacturing operations in Heflin, AL, Carlisle, PA, and portions of Buji, China into a new facility in Jackson, TN that was purchased in the third quarter of 2009. The consolidation of the tire manufacturing operations into Jackson, TN is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2010.

 

·                  In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company announced plans to close its friction product manufacturing facility in Logansport, IN and to consolidate operations into its locations in Hangzhou, China and Bloomington, IN.  This consolidation is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2010.

 

The Company expects the total cost of these consolidation projects will be approximately $26.4 million, of which $10.9 million has been incurred through March 31, 2010, and $15.5 million is expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2010. The Company recorded $2.3 million of expense during the first quarter 2010 primarily consisting of employee termination costs and other relocation costs. Amounts expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2010 primarily relate to employee termination and other costs associated with the relocation of employees and equipment.

 

Cost savings related to these consolidations, primarily resulting from the reduction of operating costs, are expected to approximate $20 million per year by 2012. An estimated $3 million is expected to be realized in 2010, and an additional $8 million is expected to be realized in 2011.

 

Net sales and EBIT are generally higher in the first half of the year due to peak sales volumes in the outdoor power equipment market.  Recent trends indicate a significant rise in the costs of the Company’s key raw materials, most notably synthetic rubber, natural rubber, and hot rolled steel sheet.  While the

 

22



 

Company plans to increase prices to offset the impact of higher raw material costs, it is unknown to what extent these pricing actions will hold.

 

The restructuring activities within the tire and wheel business to consolidate manufacturing facilities and to start-up a manufacturing facility in Jackson, TN could cause disruptions to customers and employee dissatisfaction. The Company could also be negatively impacted by cost and availability of shipping channels and the amount of time required to ship product manufactured in China.

 

In addition, the Company could be negatively impacted by the U.S Customs Matter described in Note 14 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.

 

Interconnect Technologies

 

Net sales in the Interconnect Technologies segment during the first quarter 2010 increased 41% to $61.9 million from $43.9 million in the first quarter of 2009.  The acquisitions of Jerrik and ECS contributed $14.7 million, or 33%, in net sales in the current quarter.  Organic sales increased by 7.5% in the first three months of 2010, primarily on higher sales in the aerospace market, which grew 16% in the current-year quarter reflecting increased activity relating to the Boeing 787 program.  The increase within the aerospace market was partially offset by a 25% sales decline in the test and measurement market reflecting lower sales volumes due to soft demand.

 

Segment EBIT during the first quarter 2010 increased 95% to $7.8 million from $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2009. EBIT margins increased from 9.1% in the first quarter of 2009 to 12.6% in the first quarter of 2010. The improvement in EBIT margin was primarily due to higher sales volume and efficiencies gained through the Carlisle Operating System.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2009, in efforts to reduce costs and streamline operations, the Company announced that it would consolidate its Vancouver, WA facility into its facilities in Long Beach, CA, Tukwila, WA, and Dongguan, China and close its Vancouver facility. This consolidation is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2010.

 

The Company expects the total cost of this consolidation project will be approximately $4.6 million, of which $3.7 million has been incurred through March 31, 2010, and $0.9 million is expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2010. The Company recorded $0.6 million of expense during the first quarter 2010 primarily consisting of employee termination costs and other relocation costs. Amounts expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2010 relate primarily to employee termination, lease termination and other costs associated with the relocation of employees and equipment.

 

Cost savings related to these consolidations, primarily resulting from the reduction of operating costs, are expected to approximate $3.2 million per year, of which an estimated $1.9 million will be realized in 2010.

 

With the acquisitions of Jerrik and ECS, ramp-up of the Boeing 787 program and growth prospects of the markets served by this segment, the long-term outlook for this segment remain favorable. However, potential cancelations in new airplane manufacturing schedules and the impact of potential defense budget cuts could negatively impact future growth opportunities.

 

FoodService Products

 

Net sales of $56.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, decreased 3.2% as compared to net sales of $58.7 million in 2009.  Sales declines in the healthcare market, primarily reflecting lower

 

23



 

rethermalization sales and the temporary loss of a supplier, were partially offset by increases in the foodservice and janitorial/sanitation product lines, on increased U.S. demand for supplies replacement and strengthening sales in international markets as the Company expands its distribution network in those markets.

 

Segment EBIT during the first quarter 2010 of $6.5 million represented an increase of 59% over prior year EBIT of $4.1 million. As a percent of sales, EBIT margins increased to 11.4% from 7.0% in 2009. The improvement in margins was due primarily to lower raw material costs, which partially reflected sourcing initiatives and efficiency gains from the Carlisle Operating System.

 

The foodservice products business is generally not subject to seasonal demand. Recent trends suggest demand in the foodservice and healthcare markets may be improving; however, a down-turn in economic conditions may negatively affect customer spending and demand in this segment. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding raw materials prices, which could negatively impact EBIT in future periods.

 

Specialty Products

 

Net sales in the first quarter of 2010 declined 14% to $14.7 million from $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2009.  Reduced demand and price decreases in response to competitive quotes contributed to the year-over-year sales decline.  Lower units shipped in the first half of the quarter, reflecting reduced customer spending, were partially offset by an increase in units shipped in the last half of the quarter, primarily in the construction and material hauling product lines, reflecting increased activity throughout the industry.

 

Segment EBIT improved from a loss of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2009 to a loss of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2010.  The reduction in first quarter EBIT loss was primarily attributable to cost reduction efforts in response to lower sales volume and a $1.1 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company’s Brookville, PA plant, which was closed in 2009.

 

While recent trends indicate demand may be beginning to grow within the end markets served by this industry, lack of credit availability and existing trailer surplus could continue to negatively impact customer spending.  In addition, increased demand from end markets could result in increased steel prices.  The Company will attempt to offset any increase in the cost of its raw materials through price increases or surcharges.

 

The specialty trailer business is generally not subject to seasonal demand.

 

On February 2, 2010, the Company sold all of its interest in the refrigerated truck bodies business.  As a result of the sale, current year and prior year results for this business, which were previously reported within the Specialty Products segment, have been moved to Discontinued Operations.

 

Corporate expense

 

Corporate expense of $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared with $7.7 million for the first quarter 2009.  As a percent of net sales, corporate expenses were 1.5% in the first quarter of 2010, which compared to 1.4% in the first quarter of 2009.

Net cash used in operating activities was $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $63.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cash used for working capital and other assets and liabilities was $56.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which compared to cash provided of $39.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The increase in cash used for working capital was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable which reflected increased sales. The net usage of cash was partially offset by an improvement in net income to $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Cash provided by investing activities was $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to cash used of $9.5 million for the first three months of 2009. Capital expenditures were $8.4 million in the first three months of 2010 compared to capital expenditures of $10.3 million in the first three months of 2009. Proceeds from the sale of the refrigerated truck bodies business on February 2, 2010 were $20.3 million.

 

In the first quarter of 2009, activities commenced on the consolidation of three tire manufacturing operations into a new facility in Jackson, TN. Total cash expenditures associated with this project are expected to approximate $67 million, of which $48 million relate to the purchase of the facility and investment in equipment. The remainder will be used to cover relocation and severance costs. Through March 31, 2010, approximately $12 million of cash had been used.

 

Cash used by financing activities of $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily reflects the payment of dividends. Cash used by financing activities of $37.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included a reduction in borrowings under the revolving credit facility and securitization facility and the payment of dividends.

 

Debt Instruments, Guarantees and Covenants

 

At March 31, 2010 the Company had $466 million available under its $500 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility provides for grid-based interest pricing based on the credit rating of the Company’s senior unsecured bank debt or other unsecured senior debt and the Company’s utilization of the facility. The facility requires the Company to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations including certain net worth, cash flow ratios and limits on outstanding debt balances held by certain subsidiaries.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants and limitations in 2010 and 2009.

 

The Company also maintains a $55 million uncommitted line of credit, all of which was available at March 31, 2010.
