A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as at September 30, 2015, our results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 was derived from audited financial statements.

 

Reclassification: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  In our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately stated.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard for revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”).  The purpose of ASC 606 is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability across industries.  ASC 606 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our results of operations.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”) “Reporting of Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements.  On January 1, 2015, we adopted ASU 2014-08.  The adoption of the new standard did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02 (“ASU 2015-02”) “Consolidation (Topic 810) — Amendments to the Consolidations Analysis,” which modifies certain aspects of both the variable interest and voting models.  ASU 2015-02 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”) “Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” that requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt.  In August 2015, the FASB amended ASU 2015-03 to clarify that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements may be classified as an asset.  ASU 2015-03 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2016.  We do not expect that the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on our financial position.

B. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

The presentation of discontinued operations includes a component or group of components that we have or intend to dispose of, and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results.  For spin off transactions, discontinued operations treatment is appropriate following the completion of the spin off.

 

On September 30, 2014, we announced a plan to spin off 100 percent of our Installation and Other Services businesses into an independent, publicly-traded company named TopBuild Corp. (“TopBuild”) through a tax-free distribution of the stock of TopBuild to our stockholders.  We initiated the spin off as TopBuild was no longer considered core to our long-term growth strategy in branded building products.  On June 30, 2015, immediately prior to the effective time of the spin off, TopBuild paid a cash distribution to us of $200 million using the proceeds of its new debt financing arrangement.  This transaction was reported as a financing activity in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

We have accounted for the spin off of TopBuild as a discontinued operation. (Losses) gains from this discontinued operation were included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The unusual relationship between income tax expense and income before income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulted primarily from certain non-deductible transaction costs related to the spin off of TopBuild.

C. ACQUISITIONS

 

In the second quarter of 2015, we acquired a U.K. window business for approximately $16 million in cash in the Other Specialty Products segment.  This acquisition will support our U.K. window business’ growth strategy by expanding its product offerings into timber-alternative windows and doors.

 

In the first quarter of 2015, we acquired an aquatic fitness business for approximately $25 million in cash in the Plumbing Products segment.  This acquisition will allow our spa business to expand its wellness products platform, open new channels of distribution and access a new customer base.

 

These acquisitions are not material to us.  The results of these acquisitions are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of their respective acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization expense, including discontinued operations, was $100 million and $125 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Depreciation and amortization expense included accelerated depreciation (relating to business rationalization initiatives) of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

As a result of business rationalization initiatives, at September 30, 2014, we decided to sell two facilities within our Cabinets and Related Products segment. At September 30, 2014, the net book value of those facilities was approximately $10 million.  In the third quarter of 2014, we recorded a charge of $28 million, included in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, to reflect the estimated fair value of those facilities.  Fair value was estimated using a market approach (Level 3 input), considering the estimated fair values for other comparable facilities in the areas where the facilities are located.

F.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

 

We have maintained investments in available-for-sale securities, equity method investments and a number of private equity funds, principally as part of our tax planning strategies, as any gains enhance the utilization of any current and future tax capital losses.  Financial investments included in other assets were as follows, in millions:

Recurring Fair Value Measurements.  The fair value of the auction rate securities held by us have been estimated, on a recurring basis, using a discounted cash flow model (Level 3 input).  The significant inputs in the discounted cash flow model used to value the auction rate securities include:  expected maturity of auction rate securities, discount rate used to determine the present value of expected cash flows and the assumptions for credit defaults, since the auction rate securities are backed by credit default swap agreements.

 

Our investments in auction rate securities included cost basis of $19 million and pre-tax unrealized gains of $3 million and had a recorded basis of $22 million at both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements.  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not measure any financial investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis, as there was no other-than-temporary decline in the estimated value of these investments.

 

We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

Fair Value of Debt.  The fair value of our short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.  The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at September 30, 2015 was approximately $3.7 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.4 billion.  The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2014 was approximately $3.7 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.4 billion.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

G.DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

 

We are exposed to global market risk as part of our normal daily business activities.  To manage these risks, we enter into various derivative contracts.  These contracts include interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency contracts and metals contracts intended to hedge our exposure to copper and zinc. We review our hedging program, derivative positions and overall risk management on a regular basis.

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreements.  In March 2012, in connection with the issuance of $400 million of debt, we terminated the interest rate swap hedge relationships that we had entered into in August 2011.  These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and effectively fixed interest rates on the forecasted debt issuance to variable rates based on 3-month LIBOR.  Upon termination, the ineffective portion of the cash flow hedges of approximately $2 million loss was recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in other, net.  The remaining loss of approximately $23 million from the termination of these swaps is being amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt, through March 2022.

 

Foreign Currency Contracts.  Our net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, and investments in subsidiaries.  To mitigate this risk, we, including certain of our European operations, entered into foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts.

 

Gains (losses) related to foreign currency forward and exchange contracts are recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in other, net within other income (expense), net.  In the event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the foreign currency forward contracts, our exposure is limited to the aggregate foreign currency rate differential with such institutions.

 

Metals Contracts.  We have entered into several contracts to manage our exposure to increases in the price of copper and zinc.  Gains (losses) related to these contracts are recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in cost of sales.

 

The pre-tax (losses) gains included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations are as follows, in millions:

I.DEBT

 

On June 15, 2015, we repaid and retired all of our $500 million, 4.8% Notes on the scheduled retirement date.

 

On March 24, 2015, we issued $500 million of 4.45% Notes due April 1, 2025.  These Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option.

 

On March 28, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank group, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion and a maturity date of March 28, 2018.  On May 29, 2015 and August 28, 2015, we amended the Credit Agreement with the bank group (the “Amended Credit Agreement”).  The Amended Credit Agreement reduces the aggregate commitment to $750 million and extends the maturity date to May 29, 2020.  Under the Amended Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase the aggregate commitment up to an additional $375 million with the current bank group or new lenders.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to us and one of our foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros and certain other currencies. Borrowings under the revolver denominated in euros are limited to $500 million, equivalent. We can also borrow swingline loans up to $75 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $100 million; any outstanding letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity. At September 30, 2015, we had $42 million of outstanding standby letters of credit.

 

Revolving credit loans bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement, at our option, at (A) a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Alternative Base Rate”); plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings; or (B) LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The foreign currency revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a maximum net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, of 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0.

 

In order for us to borrow under the Amended Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in our covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of properties and insurance) and our representations and warranties in the Amended Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2014, in each case, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance, and no material tax deficiency). We were in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings have been made at September 30, 2015.

Stock-Based Compensation

J.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Our 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms to our employees and non-employee Directors.  At September 30, 2015, outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of long-term stock awards, stock options, phantom stock awards and stock appreciation rights.  Pre-tax compensation expense and the related income tax benefit for these stock-based incentives were as follows, in millions:

Long-Term Stock Awards.  Long-term stock awards are granted to our key employees and non-employee Directors and do not cause net share dilution inasmuch as we continue the practice of repurchasing and retiring an equal number of shares in the open market.  We granted 719,546 shares of long-term stock awards in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Subsequent to the separation of TopBuild, we modified our outstanding equity awards to employees and non-employee directors such that all individuals received an equivalent fair value both before and after the separation.  The modification to the outstanding stock awards was made pursuant to existing anti-dilution provisions in our 2014 Plan and 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan.

 

At September 30, 2015 and 2014, there was $47 million and $68 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards, respectively; such awards had a weighted average remaining vesting period of three years in both 2015 and 2014.

 

The total market value (at the vesting date) of stock award shares which vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $54 million and $50 million, respectively.

 

Stock Options.  Stock options are granted to our key employees.  The exercise price equals the market price of our common stock at the grant date.  These options generally become exercisable (vest ratably) over five years beginning on the first anniversary from the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years after the grant date.

 

We granted 452,380 of stock option shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 with a grant date exercise price approximating $26 per share. In the first nine months of 2015, 3,150,790 stock option shares were forfeited (including options that expired unexercised).

At September 30, 2015 and 2014, there were $6 million and $7 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense (using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant date) related to unvested stock options; such options had a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2 years at both September 30, 2015 and 2014.

We recorded charges related to severance of $1 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and $13 million and $23 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Such charges are principally reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in selling, general and administrative expenses.  For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $13 million and $20 million, respectively, of severance costs related to corporate office actions, which are included in general corporate expense, net.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we allocated dividends and undistributed earnings to the unvested restricted stock awards.

 

Additionally, 4 million and 6 million common shares for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and 8 million common shares for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect.

 

In the first nine months of 2015, we repurchased and retired 15.5 million shares of our common stock (including 720 thousand shares to offset the dilutive impact of long-term stock awards granted in the first quarter), for approximately $407 million. As part of the repurchases, in August 2015, we agreed to repurchase a total of $200 million of common stock with an immediate delivery of 6.1 million shares under an accelerated stock repurchase transaction.  In September 2015, upon completion of the transaction, we received an additional 1.5 million shares of our common stock resulting from changes in the volume weighted average stock price of our common stock over the term of the transaction.  At September 30, 2015, we had 29.5 million shares of our common stock remaining under the September 2014 Board of Directors’ repurchase authorization.

 

On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $.090 ($.095) and $.270 ($.275) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and $.090 ($.090) and $.240 ($.255) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

Q. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We are subject to claims, charges, litigation and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, product recalls, construction defect, insurance coverage, personnel and employment disputes, anti-trust and other matters, including class actions.  We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters and that the likelihood that the outcome of these matters would have a material adverse effect on us is remote.  However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters, and we could, in the future, incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of operations.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes

 

R. INCOME TAXES

 

Our effective tax rate was 39 percent and 41 percent for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.  The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes an $18 million valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of TopBuild recorded as a non-cash charge to income tax expense in the second quarter of 2015.  The TopBuild deferred tax assets have been impaired by our decision to spin off TopBuild into a separate company that on a stand-alone basis as of June 30, 2015, the spin off date, will unlikely be able to realize the value of such deferred tax assets as a result of its history of losses.

 

In the third quarter of 2014, we recorded a $517 million tax benefit from the release of the valuation allowance against our U.S. Federal and certain state deferred tax assets due primarily to a return to sustainable profitability in our U.S. operations.  In reaching this conclusion, we considered the continued improvement in both the new home construction market and repair and remodel activity in the U.S. and our progress on strategic initiatives to reduce costs and expand our product leadership positions, which contributed to the continued improvement in our U.S. operations over the past few years.  Additionally, we anticipate the availability of future taxable income and have achieved a cumulative three-year income position in the U.S. as of December 31, 2014.

 

Excluding the $517 million valuation allowance release, our effective tax rate was 78 percent and 35 percent for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.  As a result of the reversal of the valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2014, the tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 approximates our U.S. Federal statutory tax rate while the tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 includes an additional tax expense of $47 million to adjust the taxes recorded in the first and second quarter of 2014, which previously benefited from the decrease in the valuation allowance, to the higher third quarter effective tax rate.

 

The tax benefit from certain stock-based compensation is not realized as a deferred tax asset until the tax deduction reduces taxes paid. During the third quarter of 2015, we realized $17 million of the $53 million deferred tax asset on additional net operating losses from stock-based compensation as an increase to paid-in capital due to the continued profitability of our U.S. operations.  We anticipate realizing the majority of the remaining $36 million deferred tax asset on additional net operating losses from stock-based compensation by the end of 2015.

Accounting Policies (Policies)

 

Reclassification: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  In our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately stated.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard for revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”).  The purpose of ASC 606 is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability across industries.  ASC 606 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our results of operations.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”) “Reporting of Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements.  On January 1, 2015, we adopted ASU 2014-08.  The adoption of the new standard did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02 (“ASU 2015-02”) “Consolidation (Topic 810) — Amendments to the Consolidations Analysis,” which modifies certain aspects of both the variable interest and voting models.  ASU 2015-02 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”) “Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” that requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt.  In August 2015, the FASB amended ASU 2015-03 to clarify that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements may be classified as an asset.  ASU 2015-03 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2016.  We do not expect that the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on our financial position.
