Description of Business
Description of Business

 

(1) Description of Business

        Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (the Company) designs, manufactures and sells an extensive line of water safety and flow control products primarily for the water quality, water conservation, water safety and water flow control markets located predominantly in North America and Europe with a presence in Asia.

Accounting Policies
Accounting Policies

 

(2) Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Cash Equivalents

        Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and consist primarily of certificates of deposit and money market funds, for which the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities

        Investment securities at December 31, 2011 and 2010 consisted primarily of certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months.

        Trading securities are recorded at fair value. The Company determines the fair value by obtaining market value when available from quoted prices in active markets. In the absence of quoted prices, the Company uses other inputs to determine the fair value of the investments. All changes in the fair value as well as any realized gains and losses from the sale of the securities are recorded when incurred to the consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        Allowance for doubtful accounts includes reserves for bad debts, sales returns and allowances and cash discounts. The Company analyzes the aging of accounts receivable, individual accounts receivable, historical bad debts, concentration of receivables by customer, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The Company specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable and establishes specific reserves against financially troubled customers. In addition, factors are developed in certain regions utilizing historical trends of sales and returns and allowances and cash discount activities to derive a reserve for returns and allowances and cash discounts.

Concentration of Credit

        The Company sells products to a diversified customer base and, therefore, has no significant concentrations of credit risk. In 2011 and 2010, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total sales.

Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using primarily the first-in, first-out method) or market. Market value is determined by replacement cost or net realizable value. Historical usage is used as the basis for determining the reserve for excess or obsolete inventories.

Assets Held for Sale

        The Company accounts for assets held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the asset or group of assets, is actively marketing the asset or group of assets, the asset or group of assets can be sold in its current condition in a reasonable period of time and the plan is not expected to change. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was actively marketing two properties. In 2010, the Company recorded estimated losses of $1.0 million to reduce these assets to their estimated fair value, less any costs to sell. These amounts are recorded as a component of restructuring and other costs in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4 for additional information associated with the Company's restructuring charges.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for acquisitions exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but rather are tested annually for impairment. The test was performed as of October 30, 2011.

        Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is "more likely than not" that goodwill might be impaired, such as a change in business conditions. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year.

        The Company determined that the future prospects for its Blue Ridge Atlantic Enterprises, Inc. (BRAE) reporting unit in North America were lower than originally estimated as future sales growth expectations have been reduced since the 2010 acquisition of BRAE. The Company recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $1.2 million for that reporting unit. The impairment charge was offset by the reduction in anticipated earnout payment of $1.2 million. The Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using the expected present value of future cash flows.

        Intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future pretax operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. The Company determines the discount rate for this analysis based on the weighted average cost of capital based on the market and guideline public companies for the related businesses and does not allocate interest charges to the asset or asset group being measured. Judgment is required to estimate future operating cash flows.

        Aggregate amortization expense for amortized intangible assets for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $18.1 million, $14.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively. Additionally, future amortization expense on amortizable intangible assets is expected to be $15.4 million for 2012, $14.3 million for 2013, $14.3 million for 2014, $14.0 million for 2015, and $13.5 million for 2016. Amortization expense is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets. The weighted-average remaining life of total amortizable intangible assets is 10.6 years. Patents, customer relationships, technology, trade names and other amortizable intangibles have weighted-average remaining lives of 7.2 years, 7.4 years, 14.2 years, 12.7 years and 43.2 years, respectively. Indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily include trade names and trademarks.

        In 2011, the Company determined that the prospects for Austroflex Rohr-Isoliersysteme GmbH (Austroflex), part of our Europe segment, were lower than originally estimated due to current operating profits being below plan and tempered future growth expectations. Accordingly, the Company performed an evaluation of the asset group utilizing the undiscounted cash flows and determined the carrying value of the assets were no longer recoverable. The Company performed a fair value assessment and, as a result, wrote down the long-lived assets, including customer relationships, trade names, and property, plant and equipment, by $14.8 million. Fair value was based on discounted cash flows using market participant assumptions and utilized an estimated weighted average cost of capital.

        Adjustments to indefinite-lived intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2011 relate primarily to recording the value of an additional trade name in connection with the acquisition of Danfoss Socla S.A.S (Socla) offset by an impairment of certain trade names in our European and North America segments and a reassessment of $6.1 million of trade names in our North America and Europe segments to amortizable intangibles.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment.

Taxes, Other than Income Taxes

        Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on sale transactions are recorded on a net basis and excluded from sales, in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

        The Company accounts for tax benefits when the item in question meets the more-likely-than-not (greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities) threshold. The Company reduced unrecognized tax benefits during 2011 by approximately $2.0 million, of which $1.0 million related to federal, state and foreign audit settlements and $1.0 million to reduced exposures in Europe. The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that a portion of the currently remaining unrecognized tax benefit may be recognized by the end of 2012 as a result of the conclusion of foreign income tax audits. The amount of expense accrued for penalties and interest is $0.7 million worldwide.

        As of December 31, 2011, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1.8 million, approximately $1.6 million of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The difference between the amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the amount that would affect the effective tax rate consists of the federal tax benefit of state income tax items.

        A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

        In February 2012, the United States Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's 2009 and 2010 tax years. The Company does not anticipate any material adjustments to arise as a result of the audit. The Company conducts business in a variety of locations throughout the world resulting in tax filings in numerous domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to tax examinations regularly as part of the normal course of business. The Company's major jurisdictions are the U.S., Canada, China, Netherlands, U.K., Germany, Italy and France. With few exceptions the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2005.

        The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

        The statute of limitations in our major jurisdictions is open in the U.S. for the year 2008 and later; in Canada for 2007 and later; and in the Netherlands for 2006 and later.

Foreign Currency Translation

        The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside the United States generally are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Balance sheet accounts, including goodwill, of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at weighted average exchange rates for each period. Net translation gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments since it does not provide for such taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation and Chief Executive Officer Separation Costs

        The Company records compensation expense in the financial statements for share-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which is generally commensurate with the vesting term. The benefits associated with tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are reported as a financing cash flow.

        At December 31, 2011, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans with total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements of approximately $10.6 million and a total weighted average remaining term of 2.4 years. For 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized compensation costs related to stock-based programs of approximately $5.3 million, $4.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recorded approximately $0.6 million of tax benefits during 2011, 2010 and 2009 for the compensation expense relating to its stock options. For 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded approximately $1.5 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of tax benefit for its other stock-based plans. For 2011, 2010 and 2009, the recognition of total stock-based compensation expense impacted both basic and diluted net income per common share by $0.09, $0.08 and $0.08, respectively.

        On January 26, 2011, Patrick S. O'Keefe resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer, President and Director. Pursuant to a separation agreement, the Company recorded a charge of $6.3 million consisting of $3.3 million in expected cash severance and a non-cash charge of $3.0 million for the modification of stock options and restricted stock awards.

Net Income Per Common Share

        Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted income per share assumes the conversion of all dilutive securities (see Note 13).

        Net income and number of shares used to compute net income per share, basic and assuming full dilution, are reconciled below:

        The computation of diluted net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 0.7 million, 0.5 million and 0.9 million shares, respectively, because the exercise price of the option was greater than the average market price of the Class A Common Stock and the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

        On August 2, 2011 the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to one million shares of our Class A Common Stock. During the three months ended October 2, 2011, the Company repurchased the entire one million shares at a cost of $27.2 million.

Financial Instruments

        In the normal course of business, the Company manages risks associated with commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates through a variety of strategies, including the use of hedging transactions, executed in accordance with the Company's policies. The Company's hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, the use of various derivative financial and commodity instruments. As a matter of policy, the Company does not use derivative instruments unless there is an underlying exposure. Any change in value of the derivative instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

        Derivative instruments may be designated and accounted for as either a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). For a fair value hedge, both the effective and ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument, along with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item for fair value changes attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in earnings. For a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument that are highly effective are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. There were no cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2011.

        If a fair value or cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting or be terminated, it would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled, but hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If a forecasted transaction were no longer probable of occurring, amounts previously deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income would be recognized immediately in earnings. On occasion, the Company may enter into a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting because it is entered into to offset changes in the fair value of an underlying transaction which is required to be recognized in earnings (natural hedge). These instruments are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

        Foreign currency derivatives include forward foreign exchange contracts primarily for Canadian dollars. Metal derivatives included commodity swaps for copper. During 2009, the Company used a copper swap as a means of hedging exposure to metal prices (see Note 15).

        Portions of the Company's outstanding debt are exposed to interest rate risks. The Company monitors its interest rate exposures on an ongoing basis to maximize the overall effectiveness of its interest rates.

Fair Value Measurements

        Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

        The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities that may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value disclosures of these assets and liabilities are based on a three-level hierarchy, which is defined as follows:

Level 1   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

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.

        Assets and liabilities subject to this hierarchy are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Shipping and Handling

        Shipping and handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expense amounted to $38.1 million, $33.5 million and $31.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Research and Development

        Research and development costs included in selling, general, and administrative expense amounted to $21.2 million, $18.6 million and $17.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria have been met: the Company has entered into a binding agreement, the product has been shipped and title passes, the sales price to the customer is fixed or is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated returns and allowances are made at the time of sale, and are recorded as a reduction of sales and included in the allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records provisions for sales incentives (primarily volume rebates), as an adjustment to net sales, at the time of sale based on estimated purchase targets.

Basis of Presentation

        Certain amounts in the 2010 and 2009 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to permit comparison with the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported results of operations or stockholders' equity.

Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards

        In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income." This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. The Company early adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-05 and opted to present a separate statement of comprehensive income.

        In September 2011, accounting guidance was issued by FASB in ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other". This guidance amends the requirements for goodwill impairment testing. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The Company early adopted this new standard effective with its annual goodwill impairment testing date of October 30, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued Operations

 

(3) Discontinued Operations

        In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an estimated reserve of $5.3 million in discontinued operations in connection with its investigation of potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) at Watts Valve (Changsha) Co., Ltd. (CWV), a former indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in China. On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement for $3.8 million with the Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve allegations concerning potential violations of the FCPA at CWV. (See Note 14)

        In May 2009, the Company liquidated its TEAM business, located in Ammanford, U.K. TEAM custom designed and manufactured manipulated pipe and hose tubing assemblies and served the heating, ventilation and air conditioning and automotive markets in Western Europe. Management determined the business no longer fit strategically with the Company and that a sale of TEAM was not feasible. On May 22, 2009, the Company appointed an administrator for TEAM under the United Kingdom Insolvency Act of 1986. During the administration process, the administrator had sole control over, and responsibility for, TEAM's operations, assets and liabilities. The Company deconsolidated TEAM when the administrator obtained control of TEAM. The deconsolidation resulted in the recognition of a $18.1 million pre-tax non-cash loss. The Company evaluated the operations of TEAM and determined that it would not have a continuing involvement in TEAM's operations and cash flows. As a result of the loss of control, TEAM's cash flows and operations were eliminated from the continuing operations of the Company. As such, the Company classified TEAM's results of operations and the loss from deconsolidation as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(4) Restructuring and Other Charges, Net

        The Company's Board of Directors approves all major restructuring programs that involve the discontinuance of product lines or the shutdown of facilities. From time to time, the Company takes additional restructuring actions, including involuntary terminations that are not part of a major program. The Company accounts for these costs in the period that the individual employees are notified or the liability is incurred. These costs are included in restructuring and other charges in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. In 2011, the Board approved an integration program in association with the acquisition of Socla. The program was designed to integrate certain operations and management structures in the Watts and Socla organizations with a total estimated pre-tax cost of $6.4 million with costs being incurred through 2012. As of December 31, 2011, the Company revised its forecast to $5.1 million due to reduced expected severance costs.

        During 2011, the Company initiated several other actions that were not part of a major program. In September 2011, the Company announced a plan of termination that would result in a reduction of approximately 10% of North American non-direct payroll costs. The Company recorded a charge of $1.1 million for severance in connection with the plan during the year ended December 31, 2011. Also in 2011, the Company initiated restructuring activities with respect to the Company's operating facilities in Europe, which included the closure of a facility. The Europe restructuring activities are expected to include pre-tax costs of approximately $2.6 million, including costs for severance and shut down costs. The total net after-tax charge is $1.8 million with costs being incurred through 2012. Total costs incurred during 2011 were $2.5 million, primarily for severance. In addition, the Company recorded income in restructuring and other charges related to the reduction in the contingent liability for the anticipated earnout payment in connection with the BRAE acquisition of $1.2 million.

2010 Actions

        On February 8, 2010, the Board approved a restructuring program with respect to the Company's operating facilities in France. The restructuring program included the consolidation of five facilities into two facilities. The program was originally expected to include pre-tax charges totaling approximately $12.5 million, including costs for severance, relocation, clean-up and certain asset write-downs. The Company revised its forecast to $16.5 million primarily to reflect additional severance and legal costs. The Company recorded certain severance costs related to this program in 2009 as the amounts related to contractual or statutory obligations. This program is complete.

        On September 13, 2010, the Board approved a restructuring program with respect to certain of the Company's operating facilities in the United States. The restructuring program included the shutdown of two manufacturing facilities in North Carolina. Operations at these facilities have been consolidated into the Company's manufacturing facilities in New Hampshire, Missouri and other locations. The program originally included pre-tax charges totaling approximately $4.9 million, including costs for severance, shutdown costs and equipment write-downs and pre-tax training and pre-production set-up costs of approximately $2.0 million. The Company revised its forecast to $2.5 million due to reduced shutdown costs. The total net after-tax charge for this restructuring program was approximately $1.5 million. The restructuring program is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.

2009 Actions

        In February 2009, the Board approved a plan to consolidate its manufacturing footprint in North America and Asia. The final plan provided for the closure of two plants, with those operations being moved to existing facilities in either North America or Asia or relocated to a new central facility in the United States. The project was completed in 2010.

(5) Business Acquisitions and Disposition

Socla

        On April 29, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Danfoss Socla S.A.S and the related water controls business of certain other entities controlled by Danfoss A/S, in a share and asset purchase transaction (collectively, "Socla"). The aggregate consideration paid was EUR 120.0 million, less EUR 3.7 million in working capital and related adjustments. The net purchase price of EUR 116.3 million was financed with cash on hand and euro-based borrowings under our Credit Agreement. The net purchase price was equal to approximately $172.4 million based on the exchange rate of Euro to U.S. dollars as of April 29, 2011.

        Socla is a manufacturer of water protection valves and flow control solutions for the water market and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning market. Its major product lines include backflow preventers, check valves and pressure reducing valves. Socla is based in France, and its products are distributed for commercial, residential, municipal and industrial use. Socla's annual revenue for 2010 was approximately $130.0 million. Socla strengthens the Company's European plumbing and flow control products and also adds to its HVAC product line.

        The Company is accounting for the transaction as a business combination. The Company completed a preliminary purchase price allocation that resulted in the recognition of $78.8 million in goodwill and $40.6 million in intangible assets. Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships with estimated lives of 10 years and trade names with either 20-year lives or indefinite lives. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of Socla and the synergies that are expected to arise as a result of the acquisition. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the preliminary value of the assets and liabilities acquired (in millions):

  $ 172.4  
       

        The purchase price allocation for the acquisition noted above is preliminary pending the final determinations of fair values of intangible assets and certain assumed assets and liabilities.

        The consolidated statement of operations includes the results of Socla since the acquisition date and includes $94.8 million of revenues and $1.6 million of operating income, which includes acquisition accounting charges of $4.7 million and restructuring charges of $2.7 million.

Supplemental pro-forma information (unaudited)

        Had the Company completed the acquisition of Socla at the beginning of 2010, net sales, net income from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing operations would have been as follows:

  $ 1.90   $ 1.80  

Diluted EPS—continuing operations

  $ 1.89   $ 1.79  

        Net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was adjusted to include $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of net interest expense related to the financing and $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of net amortization expense resulting from the estimated allocation of purchase price to amortizable tangible and intangible assets. Net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was also adjusted to exclude $4.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of net acquisition-related charges and third-party costs.

Austroflex

        On June 28, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Austroflex for approximately $33.7 million. Austroflex is an Austrian-based manufacturer of pre-insulated flexible pipe systems for district heating, solar applications and under-floor radiant heating systems. The acquisition of Austroflex provides the Company with a full range of pre-insulated PEX tubing, pre-insulated solar tubes, under-floor heating insulation, and distribution capability and positions the Company as a major supplier of pre-insulated pipe systems in Europe. The Company completed a purchase price allocation that resulted in the recognition of $17.2 million of intangible assets and $12.3 million of goodwill. Intangible assets were based on fair value estimates and are comprised primarily of customer relationships with estimated useful lives of 8 years and trade names with indefinite lives. Goodwill is expected to be tax deductible up to a certain limit established under Austrian tax rules. Austroflex had annual sales prior to the acquisition of approximately $23.0 million. In 2011, the Company determined that the prospects for Austroflex, part of the Europe segment, were lower than originally estimated due to current operating profits being below plan and tempered future growth expectations. (See Note 2)

BRAE

        On April 13, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of BRAE located in Oakboro, North Carolina for up to $5.3 million, net of cash acquired. Of the total purchase price, $0.5 million was paid at closing and the remaining $4.8 million is contingent upon BRAE achieving a certain performance metric during the year ending December 31, 2014, which, to the extent achieved, is expected to be paid in cash in 2015. The Company recognized a liability of $1.9 million as an estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration, based on the net present value of $3.7 million which is derived from the weighted probability of achievement of the performance metric as of the date of the acquisition. Failure to meet the performance metric would reduce this liability to $0, while complete achievement would increase this liability to the full remaining purchase price of $4.8 million. Any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date is recognized in earnings in the period the estimated fair value changes. The excess fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $2.7 million was allocated to goodwill and trade name. None of the goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. BRAE is a provider of engineered rain water harvesting solutions and addresses the commercial, industrial and residential markets. BRAE had annual sales prior to the acquisition of approximately $2.0 million. In 2011, the Company determined that the future prospects for BRAE were lower than originally estimated as future sales growth expectations have been tempered since the acquisition. (See Note 2)

        The results of operations for BRAE are included in the Company's North America segment and the results of operations of Austroflex are included in the Company's Europe segment since their respective acquisition dates and were not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The results of Socla are included in all three operating segments since acquisition date, with the majority of its operations recorded in the European segment.

        In March 2010, in connection with the Company's manufacturing footprint consolidation, the Company closed the operations of Tianjin Watts valve Company Ltd. (TWVC) and relocated its manufacturing to other facilities. On April 12, 2010, the Company signed a definitive equity transfer agreement with a third party to sell the Company's equity ownership and remaining assets of TWVC. The sale was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.1 million from the sale. The Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million and an after-tax gain of approximately $11.4 million, or $0.30 per share, relating mainly to the recognition of a cumulative translation adjustment and a tax benefit related to the reversal of a tax clawback in China.

        At December 31, 2011, the Company has foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $24.4 million for income tax purposes; $2.4 million of the losses can be carried forward indefinitely, $7.4 million of the losses expire in 2016, $5.4 million expire in 2017, and $9.2 million expire between 2018-2020. The net operating losses consist of $2.4 million related to Austrian operations, $19.2 million to Dutch operations, and $2.8 related to Chinese operations.

        At December 31, 2011, the Company had a valuation allowance of $9.1 million, all of which relates to U.S. capital losses. Management believes it is not more likely than not that the Company would use such losses within the applicable carry forward period. The Company does not have a valuation allowance with respect to other deferred tax assets, as management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will recover the net deferred tax assets.

        Enacted changes in income tax laws had no material effect on the Company in 2011, 2010 or 2009.

        Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $282.2 million at December 31, 2011, $313.0 million at December 31, 2010, and $320.3 million at December 31, 2009. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company will be subject to withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of U.S. income tax liability that would be incurred is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits may be available to reduce some portion of any U.S. income tax liability. Withholding taxes of approximately $7.8 million would be payable upon remittance of all previously unremitted earnings at December 31, 2011.

        The Company maintains letters of credit that guarantee its performance or payment to third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. Amounts outstanding were approximately $34.9 million as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company's letters of credit are primarily associated with insurance coverage and to a lesser extent foreign purchases. The Company's letters of credit generally expire within one year of issuance and are drawn down against the revolving credit facility. These instruments may exist or expire without being drawn down. Therefore, they do not necessarily represent future cash flow obligations.

        On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued senior notes of $75.0 million in principal, due June 18, 2020. The Company will pay interest on the outstanding balance of the Notes at the rate of 5.05% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 18 and December 18 until the principal on the Notes shall become due and payable. The Company may, at its option, upon notice, and subject to the terms of the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, prepay at any time all or part of the Notes in an amount not less than $1 million by paying the principal amount plus a make-whole amount (as defined in the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement). The 2010 Note Purchase Agreement includes operational and financial covenants, with which the Company is required to comply, including, among others, maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens and dispositions. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement.

        On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company who become borrowers under the Credit Agreement, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders referred to therein. The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million, five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility which may be increased by an additional $150 million under certain circumstances and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a sublimit of up to $75.0 million in letters of credit. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of Eurocurrency rate loans, the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 1.70% to 2.30%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio plus, in the case of certain lenders, a mandatory cost calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) in the case of base rate loans and swing line loans, the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its "prime rate," and (c) the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 0.70% to 1.30%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. In addition to paying interest under the Credit Agreement, the Company is also required to pay certain fees in connection with the credit facility, including, but not limited to, a facility fee and letter of credit fees. The Credit Agreement expires on June 18, 2015. The Company may repay loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

        Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement and had $252.4 million of unused and available credit under the Credit Agreement, $34.6 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding on the Credit Agreement and $13.0 million in euro-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

        On April 27, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of $225.0 million of 5.85% senior unsecured notes due April 2016 (the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement). The 2006 Note Purchase Agreement includes operational and financial covenants, with which the Company is required to comply, including, among others, maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens and dispositions. Events of default under the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement include failure to comply with its financial and operational covenants, as well as bankruptcy and other insolvency events. The Company may, at its option, upon notice to the note holders, prepay at any time all or part of the Notes in an amount not less than $1.0 million by paying the principal amount plus a make-whole amount, which is dependent upon the yield of respective U.S. Treasury securities. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement. The payment of interest on the senior unsecured notes is due semi-annually on April 30th and October 30th of each year.

        On May 15, 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $125.0 million of senior unsecured notes consisting of $50.0 million principal amount of 4.87% senior notes due 2010 and $75.0 million principal amount of 5.47% senior notes due May 2013. The payment of interest on the senior unsecured notes is due semi-annually on May 15th and November 15th of each year. In May 2010, the Company repaid $50.0 million in principal of 4.87% senior notes due upon maturity. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the note purchase agreement.

Common Stock
Common Stock

 

(11) Common Stock

        The Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have equal dividend and liquidation rights. Each share of the Company's Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to stockholders and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes on all such matters. Shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one-to-one basis, at the option of the holder. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has reserved a total of 3,260,320 of Class A Common Stock for issuance under its stock-based compensation plans and 6,953,680 shares for conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock.

        On August 2, 2011 the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a stock repurchase program for up to one million shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company also announced the discontinuance of the previous stock repurchase program, which was originally announced on November 9, 2007. During the three months ended October 2, 2011, the Company repurchased the entire one million shares of Class A Common Stock authorized by the Board of Directors at a cost of $27.2 million. As a result of such repurchases, the Company's August 2011 repurchase program expired by its terms.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation

 

(12) Stock-Based Compensation

        As of December 31, 2011, the Company maintained three stock incentive plans under which key employees and outside directors have been granted incentive stock options (ISOs) and nonqualified stock options (NSOs) to purchase the Company's Class A Common Stock. Only one plan, the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, is currently available for the grant of new equity awards, which are currently being granted only to employees. Stock options granted under prior plans became exercisable over a five-year period at the rate of 20% per year and expire ten years after the date of grant. Under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, options become exercisable over a four-year period at the rate of 25% per year and expire ten years after the grant date. ISOs and NSOs granted under the plans may have exercise prices of not less than 100% and 50% of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant, respectively. The Company's current practice is to grant all options at fair market value on the grant date. At December 31, 2011, 1,596,082 shares of Class A Common Stock were authorized for future grants of new equity awards under the Company's stock incentive plans.

        The Company grants shares of restricted stock to key employees and non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which vest either immediately, over a one-year period, or over a three-year period at the rate of one-third per year. The restricted stock awards are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

        The Company also has a Management Stock Purchase Plan that allows for the granting of restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees. On an annual basis, key employees may elect to receive a portion of their annual incentive compensation in RSUs instead of cash. Each RSU provides the key employee with the right to purchase a share of Class A Common Stock at 67% of the fair market value on the date of grant. RSUs vest ratably over a three-year period from the grant date. An aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock may be issued under the Management Stock Purchase Plan.

2004 Stock Incentive Plan

        At December 31, 2011, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock options was approximately $4.9 million with a total weighted average remaining term of 3.0 years. For 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized compensation cost of $1.6 million, $1.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized additional stock compensation expense in 2011 related to unvested stock options of approximately $2.2 million in connection with the modification of our former CEO's options related to his separation agreement.

        As of December 31, 2011, the aggregate intrinsic values of exercisable options were approximately $2.7 million, representing the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on the Company's closing Class A Common Stock price of $34.21 as of December 31, 2011, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $3.9 million, $2.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

        Upon exercise of options, the Company issues shares of Class A Common Stock.

        The fair value of each option granted under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:

 
  Years Ended
December 31,
 
 
  2011   2010   2009  

Expected life (years)

    6.0     6.0     6.0  

Expected stock price volatility

    40.9 %   41.3 %   41.2 %

Expected dividend yield

    1.5 %   1.3 %   1.7 %

Risk-free interest rate

    1.6 %   1.9 %   2.8 %

        The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the respective expected life of the option. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of options and volatility were calculated using historical data. The expected dividend yield of stock is the Company's best estimate of the expected future dividend yield. The Company applied an estimated forfeiture rate of 6.75% for 2011, 2010 and 2009, for its stock options. These rates were calculated based upon historical activity and are an estimate of granted shares not expected to vest. If actual forfeitures differ from the expected rates, the Company may be required to make additional adjustments to compensation expense in future periods.

        The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options of $10.19, $12.36 and $9.70 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

        The total fair value of shares vested during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $2.5 million, $1.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock was approximately $3.8 million with a total weighted average remaining term of 2.2 years. For 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized compensation costs of $2.4 million, $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized additional stock compensation expense in 2011 related to restricted stock of approximately $0.8 million in connection with the modification of our former CEO's stock awards related to his separation agreement.

        The Company applied an estimated forfeiture rate of 9.0%, 9.75% and 5.2% for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for restricted stock issued to key employees. The aggregate intrinsic value of restricted stock granted and outstanding approximated $5.5 million representing the total pre-tax intrinsic value based on the Company's closing Class A Common Stock price of $34.21 as of December 31, 2011.

Management Stock Purchase Plan

        Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was approximately $1.9 million at December 31, 2011 with a total weighted average remaining term of 1.7 years. For 2011, 2010 and 2009 the Company recognized compensation cost of $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses. Dividends declared for RSUs, that are paid to individuals, that remain unpaid at December 31, 2011 total approximately $0.3 million.

        The fair value of each share issued under the Management Stock Purchase Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:

 
  Years Ended

Expected dividend yield

    1.2 %   1.5 %   2.2 %

Risk-free interest rate

    1.2 %   1.5 %   1.4 %

        The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the respective expected life of the RSUs. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of RSUs and volatility were calculated using historical data. The expected dividend yield of stock is the Company's best estimate of the expected future dividend yield. The Company applied an estimated forfeiture rate of 6.3%, 6.3% and 5.2% for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for its RSUs. These rates were calculated based upon historical activity and are an estimate of granted shares not expected to vest. If actual forfeitures differ from the expected rates, the Company may be required to make additional adjustments to compensation expense in future periods.

        The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted of $16.25, $12.81 and $8.14 during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

        The Company distributed dividends of $0.44 per share for each of 2011, 2010 and 2009 on the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Benefit Plans

 

(13) Employee Benefit Plans

        The Company sponsors funded and unfunded non-contributing defined benefit pension plans that together cover substantially all of its domestic employees. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and employees' compensation. The funding policy of the Company for these plans is to contribute an annual amount that does not exceed the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes.

        On October 31, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors voted to cease accruals effective December 31, 2011 under both the Company's Pension Plan and Supplemental Employees Retirement Plan. The Company recorded a curtailment charge of approximately $1.5 million to write-off previously unrecognized prior service costs and reduced the projected benefit obligation by $12.5 million. The Board of Directors also voted to enhance the Company's existing 401 (k) Savings Plan. The net effect of these plan changes is expected to reduce future retirement plans expense by approximately $2.0 million annually.

  2011   2010  

Discount rate

    4.80 %   5.50 %

Rate of compensation increase

  2011   2010   2009  

Discount rate

  5.50%/4.70%     6.00 %   6.00 %

Long-term rate of return on assets

  7.75%     8.50 %   8.50 %

Rate of compensation increase

  N/A     4.00 %   4.00 %

        Discount rates are selected based upon rates of return at the measurement date utilizing a bond matching approach to match the expected benefit cash flows. In selecting the expected long-term rate of return on assets, the Company considers the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits of this plan. This includes considering the trust's asset allocation and the expected returns likely to be earned over the life of the plan. This basis is consistent with the prior year. The original 2011 discount rate of 5.5% was revised to 4.70% at October 31, 2011, the curtailment date of the plans.

        The Company's written Retirement Plan Investment Policy sets forth the investment policy, objectives and constraints of the Watts Water Technologies, Inc. Pension Plan. This Retirement Plan Investment Policy, set forth by the Pension Plan Committee, defines general investment principles and directs investment management policy, addressing preservation of capital, risk aversion and adherence to investment discipline. Investment managers are to make a reasonable effort to control risk and are evaluated quarterly against commonly accepted benchmarks to ensure that the risk assumed is commensurate with the given investment style and objectives.

        The portfolio is designed to achieve a balanced return of current income and modest growth of capital, while achieving returns in excess of the rate of inflation over the investment horizon in order to preserve purchasing power of Plan assets. All Plan assets are required to be invested in liquid securities. Derivative investments are not allowed.

        Prohibited investments include, but are not limited to the following: futures contracts, private placements, options, limited partnerships, venture-capital investments, interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO), and residual tranche CMOs, and Watts Water Technologies, Inc. stock.

        Prohibited transactions include, but are not limited to the following: short selling and margin transactions.

        Allowable assets include: cash equivalents, fixed income securities, equity securities, mutual funds, and GICs.

        Specific guidelines regarding allocation of assets are followed using a liability driven investment (LDI) strategy. Under a LDI strategy, investments are made based on the expected cash flows required to fund the pension plan's liabilities. This cash flow matching technique requires a plan's asset allocation to be heavily weighted toward fixed income securities. The Company's current allocation target is 80% fixed income, 20% equities and other investments. With the recent plan curtailment, the Company expects this allocation target to increase to 90% or more in fixed income in 2012. Investment performance is monitored on a regular basis and investments are re-allocated to stay within specific guidelines. The securities of any one company or government agency should not exceed 10% of the total fund, and no more than 20% of the total fund should be invested in any one industry. Individual treasury securities may represent 50% of the total fund, while the total allocation to treasury bonds and notes may represent up to 100% of the Plan's aggregate bond position.

        Additionally, substantially all of the Company's domestic employees are eligible to participate in certain 401(k) savings plans. Under these plans, the Company matches a specified percentage of employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. The Company's match contributions (included in selling, general and administrative expense) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0.5 million in each year. The Company's largest 401(k) plan will be enhanced beginning January 1, 2012. Under the revised plan, the Company will provide a base contribution of 2% of an employee's salary, regardless of whether the employee participates in the plan. Further, the Company will make a matching contribution of up to 100% of the first 4% of an employee's contribution. Charges for European pension plans approximated $6.2 million, $3.5 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These costs relate to plans administered by certain European subsidiaries, with benefits calculated according to government requirements and paid out to employees upon retirement or change of employment.

        The Company entered into a Supplemental Compensation Agreement (the Agreement) with Timothy P. Horne on September 1, 1996. Per the Agreement, upon ceasing to be an employee of the Company, Mr. Horne must make himself available, as requested by the Board, to work a minimum of 300 but not more than 500 hours per year as a consultant in return for certain annual compensation as long as he is physically able to do so. If Mr. Horne complies with the consulting provisions of the agreement above, he shall receive supplemental compensation on an annual basis of $0.4 million per year, subject to cost of living increases each year, in exchange for the services performed, as long as he is physically able to do so. In the event of physical disability, subsequent to commencing consulting services for the Company, Mr. Horne will continue to receive this payment annually. The payment for consulting services provided by Mr. Horne will be expensed as incurred by the Company. Mr. Horne retired effective December 31, 2002, and therefore the Supplemental Compensation period began on January 1, 2003. In accordance with GAAP, the Company accrues for the future post-retirement disability benefits over the period from January 1, 2003, to the time in which Mr. Horne becomes physically unable to perform his consulting services (the period in which the disability benefits are earned). Mr. Horne is still active as a consultant in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Accrual and Disclosure Policy

        The Company is a defendant in numerous legal matters arising from its ordinary course of operations, including those involving product liability, environmental matters and commercial disputes.

        The Company reviews its lawsuits and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for matters when the Company assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonable estimated, net of any applicable insurance proceeds. The Company does not establish accruals for such matters when the Company does not believe both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonable estimated. The Company's assessment of whether a loss is probable is based on its assessment of the ultimate outcome of the matter following all appeals.

        There may continue to be exposure to loss in excess of any amount accrued. When it is possible to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued for the matters disclosed, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed.

        As of December 31, 2011, the Company estimates that the aggregate amount of reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued for its legal contingencies is approximately $3.3 million pre-tax. With respect to the estimate of reasonably possible loss, management has estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible loss based on (i) the amount of money damages claimed, where applicable, (ii) the allegations and factual development to date, (iii) available defenses based on the allegations, and/or (iv) other potentially liable parties. This estimate is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimate will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. In the event of an unfavorable outcome in one or more of the matters described below, the ultimate liability may be in excess of amounts currently accrued, if any, and may be material to the Company's operating results or cash flows for a particular quarterly or annual period. However, based on information currently known to it, management believes that the ultimate outcome of all matters described below, as they are resolved over time, is not likely to have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

James Jones Litigation

        The Company was party to a lawsuit filed by Nora Armenta in California Superior Court against the Company, James Jones Company, Mueller Co. and Tyco International (the "Armenta case") and a separate lawsuit filed in California Superior Court on behalf of the City of Banning, California and 42 other cities and water districts in California against the Company, James Jones Company and Mueller Co. (the "City of Banning case"). At a mediation session held with the California Superior Court on June 9-10, 2009, the parties to the Armenta case and the City of Banning case agreed in principle to settle both cases. An agreement in principle also was reached in 2009 to settle the related insurance coverage cases Watts Industries, Inc. vs. Zurich American Insurance Company, et al., and Zurich American Insurance Company vs. Watts Industries, Inc., et al., pending in California Superior Court; and Zurich American Insurance Company vs. Watts Industries, Inc. and James Jones Company, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The settlement of the insurance coverage cases was effective and binding upon approval of the settlement of the underlying Armenta case and City of Banning case.

        The settlement agreement was approved by the plaintiffs in both the Armenta and City of Banning cases and, at the fairness hearing held November 5, 2009, the California Superior Court approved the settlement of the Armenta case and City of Banning case. Based on the contemporaneous final settlement of the underlying insurance coverage cases, the Company's contribution to the settlement was $15.3 million. As a result of the settlements, all lawsuits and all claims were dismissed. In addition, separate from the settlement, the Company paid its outside counsel an additional $5.0 million for services rendered in connection with the above described litigation.

        As a result of the settlement of the above described litigation, the Company recorded a non-cash, pre-tax gain in discontinued operations of approximately $9.5 million in 2009 to reduce previously recorded estimates of the loss and related fees to the amounts noted above.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Settlement

        On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement with the SEC to resolve allegations concerning potential violations of the FCPA at CWV, a former indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in China. Under the terms of the settlement, without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, the Company consented to entry of an administrative cease-and-desist order under the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA. The Company also agreed to pay to the SEC $3.6 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, and $0.2 million in penalties.

        The amounts paid by the Company in connection with the settlement were fully accrued by the Company as of December 31, 2010. The Company believes that this settlement resolves all government investigations concerning CWV's sales practices and potential FCPA violations.

Product Liability

        The Company is subject to a variety of potential liabilities in connection with product liability cases. The Company maintains product liability and other insurance coverage, which the Company believes to be generally in accordance with industry practices. For product liability cases in the U.S., management establishes its product liability accrual by utilizing third-party actuarial valuations which incorporate historical trend factors and the Company's specific claims experience derived from loss reports provided by third-party administrators. In other countries, the Company maintains insurance coverage with relatively high deductible payments, as product liability claims tend to be smaller than those experienced in the U.S.

Environmental Remediation

        The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party with respect to a limited number of identified contaminated sites. The levels of contamination vary significantly from site to site as do the related levels of remediation efforts. Environmental liabilities are recorded based on the most probable cost, if known, or on the estimated minimum cost of remediation. Accruals are not discounted to their present value, unless the amount and timing of expenditures are fixed and reliably determinable. The Company accrues estimated environmental liabilities based on assumptions, which are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties. Circumstances that can affect the reliability and precision of these estimates include identification of additional sites, environmental regulations, level of cleanup required, technologies available, number and financial condition of other contributors to remediation and the time period over which remediation may occur. The Company recognizes changes in estimates as new remediation requirements are defined or as new information becomes available.

Asbestos Litigation

        The Company is defending approximately 47 lawsuits in different jurisdictions, alleging injury or death as a result of exposure to asbestos. The complaints in these cases typically name a large number of defendants and do not identify and particular Watts products as a source of asbestos exposure. To date, the Company has obtained a dismissal in every case before it has reached trial because discovery has failed to yield evidence of substantial exposure to any Watts products.

Other Litigation

        Other lawsuits and proceedings or claims, arising from the ordinary course of operations, are also pending or threatened against the Company.

(15) Financial Instruments

Fair Value

        The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables and trade payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

        The fair value of the Company's 5.47% senior notes due 2013, 5.85% senior notes due 2016 and 5.05% senior notes due 2020 is based on quoted market prices of similar notes (level 2). The fair value of the Company's variable rate debt approximates its carrying value. The carrying amount and the estimated fair market value of the Company's long-term debt, including the current portion, are as follows:

Financial Instruments

        The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including foreign currency derivatives, deferred compensation plan assets and related liability. There are no cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2011. The fair value of these certain financial assets and liabilities were determined using the following inputs at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

        As discussed in Note 5, in 2010 a contingent liability of $1.9 million was recognized as an estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration in the BRAE acquisition. This liability was classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy as it was based on the weighted probability of achievement of a future performance metric as of the date of the acquisition, which was not observable in the market. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration was reduced to $1.1 million based on the revised probability of achievement of the future performance metric. The gain resulting from the decrease in the contingent liability was classified in operating earnings as restructuring and other charges, net.

        At December 31, 2009, the Company had short term investments of $6.5 million in auction rate securities (ARS). The Company elected to participate in a settlement offer from UBS AB (UBS) for all of its outstanding ARS investments. Under the terms of the settlement offer, the Company was issued rights by UBS entitling the Company to require UBS to purchase the underlying ARS at par value during the period from June 30, 2010, through July 2, 2012. The Company elected to exercise this right and, on July 1, 2010 received $6.3 million from UBS in settlement of all outstanding ARS investments.

        Short-term investment securities as of December 31, 2011 consist of a certificate of deposit with a remaining maturity of greater than three months at the date of purchase, for which the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

        Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and consist primarily of certificates of deposit and money market funds, for which the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

        The Company uses financial instruments from time to time to enhance its ability to manage risk, including foreign currency and commodity pricing exposures, which exist as part of its ongoing business operations. The use of derivatives exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk through diversification of counterparties. The Company's counterparties in derivative transactions are substantial commercial banks with significant experience using such derivative instruments. The impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of the Company's derivative instruments is monitored and the Company restricts the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. The Company does not enter into contracts for trading purposes nor does the Company enter into any contracts for speculative purposes. The use of derivative instruments is approved by senior management under written guidelines.

        The Company has exposure to a number of foreign currency rates, including the Canadian Dollar, the Euro, the Chinese Yuan and the British Pound. To manage this risk, the Company generally uses a layering methodology whereby at the end of any quarter, the Company has generally entered into forward exchange contracts which hedge approximately 50% of the projected intercompany purchase transactions for the next twelve months. The Company primarily uses this strategy for the purchases between Canada and the U.S. The average volume of contracts can vary but generally approximates $9 to $15 million in open contracts at the end of any given quarter. At December 31, 2011, the Company had contracts for notional amounts aggregating approximately $9.0 million. The Company accounts for the forward exchange contracts as an economic hedge. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the contracts are recognized in other (income) expense in the consolidated statement of operations. These contracts do not subject the Company to significant market risk from exchange movement because they offset gains and losses on the related foreign currency denominated transactions. In 2008, the Company entered into a series of copper swaps to fix the price per pound for copper from October 2008 through September 2009 for 1 million pounds to be delivered over 12 months for one customer. The Company determined that these copper swaps did not qualify for hedge accounting and accounted for these financial instruments as an economic hedge. Therefore, any changes in the fair value of the copper swaps were recorded immediately in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not enter into swap or forward contracts for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no outstanding swaps.

        The Company recorded income (loss) of approximately $0.6 million, $0.5 million and ($0.8) million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively to other (income) expense in the consolidated statement of operations from the impact of derivative instruments.

Leases

        The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, sales offices, warehouses, and equipment. Generally, the leases carry renewal provisions and require the Company to pay maintenance costs. Future minimum lease payments under capital leases and non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2011 are as follows:

(16) Segment Information

        The Company operates in three geographic segments: North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these segments sells similar products, is managed separately and has separate financial results that are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision-maker. All intercompany sales transactions have been eliminated. Sales by region are based upon location of the entity recording the sale. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2).

Corporate expenses are primarily for compensation expense, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, professional fees, including legal and audit expenses, shareholder services and benefit administration costs. These costs are not allocated to the geographic segments as they are viewed as corporate functions that support all activities. Corporate costs in 2011 include $6.3 million in charges related to the separation agreement with the Company's former CEO.

        The Company sells its products into various end markets around the world and groups net sales to third parties into four product categories. Because many of the Company's sales are through distributors and third-party manufacturers' representatives, a portion of the product categorization is based on management's understanding of final product use and, as such, allocations have been made to align sales into a product category. Net sales to third parties for the four product categories are as follows:

        On January 31, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of tekmar Control Systems (tekmar) in a share purchase transaction. A designer and manufacturer of control systems used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning application, tekmar is expected to enhance the Company's hydronic systems product offerings in the U.S. and Canada. The initial purchase price paid was CAD $18.0 million, with an earn-out based on future earnings levels being achieved. The total purchase price will not exceed CAD $26.2 million. Sales for tekmar in 2011 approximated CAD $11.0 million.

        On February 7, 2012, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of eleven cents ($0.11) per share on each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

Accounting Policies (Policies)

 

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

 

        Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and consist primarily of certificates of deposit and money market funds, for which the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

        Investment securities at December 31, 2011 and 2010 consisted primarily of certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months.

        Trading securities are recorded at fair value. The Company determines the fair value by obtaining market value when available from quoted prices in active markets. In the absence of quoted prices, the Company uses other inputs to determine the fair value of the investments. All changes in the fair value as well as any realized gains and losses from the sale of the securities are recorded when incurred to the consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense.

 

        Allowance for doubtful accounts includes reserves for bad debts, sales returns and allowances and cash discounts. The Company analyzes the aging of accounts receivable, individual accounts receivable, historical bad debts, concentration of receivables by customer, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The Company specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable and establishes specific reserves against financially troubled customers. In addition, factors are developed in certain regions utilizing historical trends of sales and returns and allowances and cash discount activities to derive a reserve for returns and allowances and cash discounts.

 

        The Company sells products to a diversified customer base and, therefore, has no significant concentrations of credit risk. In 2011 and 2010, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total sales.

 

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using primarily the first-in, first-out method) or market. Market value is determined by replacement cost or net realizable value. Historical usage is used as the basis for determining the reserve for excess or obsolete inventories.

 

        The Company accounts for assets held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the asset or group of assets, is actively marketing the asset or group of assets, the asset or group of assets can be sold in its current condition in a reasonable period of time and the plan is not expected to change. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was actively marketing two properties. In 2010, the Company recorded estimated losses of $1.0 million to reduce these assets to their estimated fair value, less any costs to sell. These amounts are recorded as a component of restructuring and other costs in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4 for additional information associated with the Company's restructuring charges.

 

        Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for acquisitions exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but rather are tested annually for impairment. The test was performed as of October 30, 2011.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is "more likely than not" that goodwill might be impaired, such as a change in business conditions. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year.  

        Intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future pretax operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. The Company determines the discount rate for this analysis based on the weighted average cost of capital based on the market and guideline public companies for the related businesses and does not allocate interest charges to the asset or asset group being measured. Judgment is required to estimate future operating cash flows.

        In 2011, the Company determined that the prospects for Austroflex Rohr-Isoliersysteme GmbH (Austroflex), part of our Europe segment, were lower than originally estimated due to current operating profits being below plan and tempered future growth expectations. Accordingly, the Company performed an evaluation of the asset group utilizing the undiscounted cash flows and determined the carrying value of the assets were no longer recoverable.  Fair value was based on discounted cash flows using market participant assumptions and utilized an estimated weighted average cost of capital.

        

 

        Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment.

 

        Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on sale transactions are recorded on a net basis and excluded from sales, in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

 

        Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

        The Company accounts for tax benefits when the item in question meets the more-likely-than-not (greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities) threshold.

        The difference between the amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the amount that would affect the effective tax rate consists of the federal tax benefit of state income tax items.

         In February 2012, the United States Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's 2009 and 2010 tax years. The Company does not anticipate any material adjustments to arise as a result of the audit. The Company conducts business in a variety of locations throughout the world resulting in tax filings in numerous domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to tax examinations regularly as part of the normal course of business. The Company's major jurisdictions are the U.S., Canada, China, Netherlands, U.K., Germany, Italy and France. With few exceptions the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2005.

        The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

        The statute of limitations in our major jurisdictions is open in the U.S. for the year 2008 and later; in Canada for 2007 and later; and in the Netherlands for 2006 and later.

 

        The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside the United States generally are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Balance sheet accounts, including goodwill, of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at weighted average exchange rates for each period. Net translation gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments since it does not provide for such taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net earnings.

 

        The Company records compensation expense in the financial statements for share-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which is generally commensurate with the vesting term. The benefits associated with tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are reported as a financing cash flow.

        

 

        Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted income per share assumes the conversion of all dilutive securities (see Note 13).  

        On August 2, 2011 the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to one million shares of our Class A Common Stock.

 

        In the normal course of business, the Company manages risks associated with commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates through a variety of strategies, including the use of hedging transactions, executed in accordance with the Company's policies. The Company's hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, the use of various derivative financial and commodity instruments. As a matter of policy, the Company does not use derivative instruments unless there is an underlying exposure. Any change in value of the derivative instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

        Derivative instruments may be designated and accounted for as either a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). For a fair value hedge, both the effective and ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument, along with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item for fair value changes attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in earnings. For a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument that are highly effective are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. There were no cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2011.

        If a fair value or cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting or be terminated, it would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled, but hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If a forecasted transaction were no longer probable of occurring, amounts previously deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income would be recognized immediately in earnings. On occasion, the Company may enter into a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting because it is entered into to offset changes in the fair value of an underlying transaction which is required to be recognized in earnings (natural hedge). These instruments are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

        Foreign currency derivatives include forward foreign exchange contracts primarily for Canadian dollars. Metal derivatives included commodity swaps for copper. During 2009, the Company used a copper swap as a means of hedging exposure to metal prices (see Note 15).

        Portions of the Company's outstanding debt are exposed to interest rate risks. The Company monitors its interest rate exposures on an ongoing basis to maximize the overall effectiveness of its interest rates.

 

        Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

        The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities that may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value disclosures of these assets and liabilities are based on a three-level hierarchy, which is defined as follows:

Level 1   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

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.

        Assets and liabilities subject to this hierarchy are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

        Shipping and handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expense amounted to $38.1 million, $33.5 million and $31.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

        Research and development costs included in selling, general, and administrative expense amounted to $21.2 million, $18.6 million and $17.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

        The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria have been met: the Company has entered into a binding agreement, the product has been shipped and title passes, the sales price to the customer is fixed or is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated returns and allowances are made at the time of sale, and are recorded as a reduction of sales and included in the allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records provisions for sales incentives (primarily volume rebates), as an adjustment to net sales, at the time of sale based on estimated purchase targets.

 

        Certain amounts in the 2010 and 2009 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to permit comparison with the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported results of operations or stockholders' equity.

 

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
