Accounting Policies
Accounting Policies

A.       In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as at September 30, 2014 and the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements.

 

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 the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2017.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its results of operations.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-8 (ASU 2014-8), “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.  ASU 2014-8 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015, with early adoption allowed for new disposals not previously classified as discontinued operations.

 

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements.  During the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company identified an error in the accounting for certain of its investments in private equity limited partnership funds.  The investments were inappropriately accounted for under the cost basis versus the equity method.  The impact of the error was to under report the investment value (included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets) and to over (under) state equity investment earnings (loss) (included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations).  We have revised our three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 consolidated statement of operations and prior year consolidated balance sheet in these financial statements to reflect the investment accounted for as an equity investment.  Retained earnings and other comprehensive income were adjusted for the changes in net income.  Other historic periods will be revised, as detailed below, in our future filings. This error is not considered material to any prior period financial statement.

 

This revision has no effect on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued Operations

B.        In the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that Tvilum, its Danish ready-to-assemble cabinet business, was no longer core to its long-term growth strategy and, accordingly, the Company embarked on a plan for disposition.  The disposition of Tvilum was completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.  The Company has accounted for this business as a discontinued operation.

 

Selected financial information for the discontinued operations, during the period owned by the Company, was as follows, in millions:

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company estimated the fair value of the business held for sale, using unobservable inputs (Level 3).  After considering the deferred gains reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, the Company recorded an impairment of $10 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Other principally includes the effect of foreign currency translation.

 

Other indefinite-lived intangible assets were $132 million and $133 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and principally included registered trademarks. The carrying value of the Company’s definite-lived intangible assets was $15 million (net of accumulated amortization of $65 million) at September 30, 2014 and $16 million (net of accumulated amortization of $62 million) at December 31, 2013, and principally included customer relationships and non-compete agreements.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and Amortization Expense

D.                        Depreciation and amortization expense, including discontinued operations, was $125 million and $143 million, including accelerated depreciation (relating to business rationalization initiatives) of $1 million and $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

As a result of business rationalization initiatives, at September 30, 2014, the Company decided to sell two facilities within its Cabinets and Related Products segment.  At September 30, 2014, the net book value of those facilities was approximately $10 million, included in property and equipment, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014.  In the third quarter of 2014, the Company 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.

E.        The Company has maintained investments in available-for-sale securities and a number of private equity funds, principally as part of its 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:

Equity Method Investments.  Investments in private equity fund partnerships, joint ventures and less than majority-owned subsidiaries in which we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method.  Our consolidated statements of operations include the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or (loss) of our equity method investees.  When we record our proportionate share of net income (loss), it increases (decreases) our equity income in our consolidated statement of operations and our carrying value of that investment on our consolidated balance sheet.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements.  The fair value of the auction rate securities held by the Company 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.

 

The Company’s 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements.  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company 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 private equity funds.

Fair Value of Debt.  The fair value of the Company’s 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 the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.  The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at September 30, 2014 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, 2013 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

F.        The Company is exposed to global market risk as part of its normal daily business activities.  To manage these risks, the Company enters into various derivative contracts.  These contracts include interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency exchange contracts and metals contracts intended to hedge the Company’s exposure to copper and zinc.  The Company reviews its hedging program, derivative positions and overall risk management on a regular basis.

 

Foreign Currency Contracts.  The Company’s 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 during the year, the Company, including certain European operations, enters into foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts.

 

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

 

Metals Contracts.  The Company has entered into several contracts to manage its exposure to increases in the price of copper and zinc.  (Losses) gains related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations in cost of sales.

 

The pre-tax (losses) gains included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations is as follows, in millions:

H.        On March 28, 2013, the Company 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.

 

Based on the limitations of the debt to total capitalization ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement, at September 30, 2014, the Company had additional borrowing capacity, subject to availability, of up to $1.2 billion.  Additionally, at September 30, 2014, the Company could absorb a reduction to shareholders’ equity of approximately $859 million and remain in compliance with the debt to total capitalization covenant.

 

In order for the Company to borrow under the Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in the Company’s covenants in the 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 the Company’s representations and warranties in the 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, 2012, in each case, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance and no material tax deficiency).  The Company was in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings have been made at September 30, 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation

I.The Company’s 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (and the prior plan that it replaced) provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms to employees and non-employee Directors of the Company.  At September 30, 2014, 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:

Severance Costs
Severance Costs

M.       As part of the Company’s continuing review of its operations to improve cost structure and business processes, actions were taken during 2014 and 2013 to respond to market conditions.  The Company recorded charges related to severance and early retirement programs of $13 million and $24 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $4 million and $16 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Such charges are principally reflected in the statement of operations in selling, general and administrative expenses.  In 2014, $13 million and $20 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, of the severance costs relate to corporate office actions and are included in general corporate expense, net.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company allocated dividends and undistributed earnings to the unvested restricted stock awards (participating securities).

 

Additionally, 8 million common shares for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 15 million and 14 million common shares for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, 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 2014, the Company granted 1.7 million shares of long-term stock awards; to offset the dilutive impact of these awards, the Company also repurchased and retired 1.7 million shares of Company common stock, for cash aggregating approximately $39 million.

 

On September 30, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 50 million shares for retirement of Company common stock in open-market transactions or otherwise, replacing the previous Board of Directors authorization established in 2007.

 

On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $.090 ($.090) and $.24 ($.255) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $.075 ($.075) and $.225 ($.225) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
Other Commitments and Contingencies

P.        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 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

Q.       The accounting guidance for income taxes requires that the future realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in future periods.  Possible sources of taxable income include taxable income in carryback periods, the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences recorded as a deferred tax liability, tax-planning strategies that generate future income or gains in excess of anticipated losses in the carryforward period and projected future taxable income.

 

If, based upon all available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not (more than 50 percent likely) such deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. A company’s three-year cumulative loss position is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable and the accounting guidance restricts the amount of reliance that can be placed on projected taxable income to support the recovery of the deferred tax assets.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we recorded a $372 million valuation allowance against our U.S. Federal deferred tax assets as a non-cash charge to income tax expense. In reaching this conclusion, we considered the weaker retail sales of certain of our building products and the slower than anticipated recovery in the U.S. housing market which led to U.S. operating losses and significant U.S. goodwill impairment charges, that primarily occurred in the fourth quarter of 2010, causing us to be in a three-year cumulative U.S. loss position.

 

During 2012 and 2011, objective and verifiable negative evidence, such as U.S. operating losses and significant impairment charges for U.S. goodwill in 2011 and other intangible assets, continued to outweigh positive evidence necessary to reduce the valuation allowance. As a result, we recorded increases of $65 million and $89 million in the valuation allowance related to our U.S. Federal deferred tax assets as a non-cash charge to income tax expense in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Although new home construction activity and retail sales of builder products strengthened during 2013 resulting in profitability in the Company’s U.S. operations, we continued to record a full valuation allowance against the U.S. Federal deferred tax assets as we remained in a three-year cumulative loss position throughout 2013.

 

In the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a $517 million tax benefit from the release of the valuation allowance against its U.S. Federal and certain state deferred tax assets due primarily to a return to sustainable profitability in its 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 achieving a cumulative three-year income position in the U.S. by the fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of seven consecutive quarters of U.S. pre-tax earnings.

 

As a result of the valuation allowance release in the third quarter of 2014, the net short-term deferred tax assets included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 was $265 million; such balance was $73 million at December 31, 2013.

 

It is reasonably possible that the continued improvements in certain of our businesses located in the U.S. and in Europe could result in the objective positive evidence necessary to warrant the additional reversal of all or a portion of the valuation allowance, up to approximately $35 million, by the end of 2015.

 

Excluding the $517 million valuation allowance release, our effective tax rate was 75 percent and 36 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 $51 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.

 

Our effective tax rate of 24 percent for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from the partial utilization of our U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes a $12 million state tax benefit on uncertain tax positions due primarily to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation.

Accounting Policies (Policies)

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 the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2017.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its results of operations.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-8 (ASU 2014-8), “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.  ASU 2014-8 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015, with early adoption allowed for new disposals not previously classified as discontinued operations.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements.  During the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company identified an error in the accounting for certain of its investments in private equity limited partnership funds.  The investments were inappropriately accounted for under the cost basis versus the equity method.  The impact of the error was to under report the investment value (included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets) and to over (under) state equity investment earnings (loss) (included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations).  We have revised our three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 consolidated statement of operations and prior year consolidated balance sheet in these financial statements to reflect the investment accounted for as an equity investment.  Retained earnings and other comprehensive income were adjusted for the changes in net income.  Other historic periods will be revised, as detailed below, in our future filings. This error is not considered material to any prior period financial statement.

 

This revision has no effect on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
