MASCO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

A. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as at June 30, 2013 and the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements.

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, assets and liabilities related to the 2013 discontinued operations have been separately presented at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The results of operations related to the 2013 discontinued operations have been separately stated in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. In the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately classified.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new accounting guidance requiring disclosure of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

 

B. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that Tvilum, its Danish ready-to-assemble cabinet business, is no longer core to its long-term growth strategy and, accordingly, the Company has embarked on a plan for disposition. The Company has accounted for this business and those which were sold in 2012 as discontinued operations. Selected financial information for the discontinued operations, during the period owned by the Company, was as follows, in millions:

 

     Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
     June 30,     June 30,  
     2013     2012     2013     2012  

Net Sales

   $ 60      $ 80      $ 119      $ 169   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Operating loss from discontinued operations

   $ (5   $ (10   $ (8   $ (21

Impairment of assets

     —          —          (10     —     

Loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net

     —          (2     —          (3
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Loss before income tax

     (5     (12     (18     (24

Income tax expense (benefit)

     —          12        (4     9   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Loss from discontinued operations, net

   $ (5   $ (24   $ (14   $ (33
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Included in impairment of assets in 2013 is the impairment of fixed assets held for sale. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company estimated the fair value of the business held for sale, using unobservable inputs (Level 3). After considering the currency translation gains reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, the Company recorded an impairment of $10 million in the first quarter of 2013; no further adjustment was made in the second quarter of 2013.

MASCO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Note B – concluded:

 

The unusual relationship between income tax expense and loss before income tax in 2012 results primarily from the increase in the deferred tax liability associated with the abandonment of tax basis in indefinite-lived intangibles due to the disposition of certain discontinued operations.

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

The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, in millions:

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not measure any financial investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis, as there was no other-than-temporary decline in the estimated value of private equity funds.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company measured $4 million of private equity investments using level 3 inputs due to an other-than-temporary decline in the estimated value, resulting in a $2 million impairment.

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets in the three months or six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

The fair value of the Company’s short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at June 30, 2013 was approximately $3.9 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.6 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2012 was approximately $4.0 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.6 billion.

 

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

Interest Rate Swap Agreements. In March 2012, in connection with the issuance of $400 million of debt, the Company terminated the interest rate swap hedge relationships that it entered into in August 2011. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and effectively fixed interest rates on the forecasted debt issuance to variable rates based on 3-month LIBOR. Upon termination, the ineffective portion of the cash flow hedges of approximately $2 million loss was recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of income in other, net. The remaining loss of approximately $23 million from the termination of these swaps is being amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt, through March 2022. At June 30, 2013, the balance remaining in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income was $20 million.

Foreign Currency Contracts. The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, and investments in subsidiaries. To mitigate this risk during 2013 and 2012, the Company, including certain European operations, entered into foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts.

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

Metal Contracts. During 2013 and 2012, the Company entered into several contracts to manage its exposure to increases in the price of copper and zinc. (Losses) gains related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations in cost of sales.

H. On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a bank group, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion and a maturity date of March 28, 2018. Upon entry into the New Credit Agreement, the Company’s credit agreement dated as of June 21, 2010, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion, was terminated.

The New Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to the Company and one of its foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros and certain other currencies. Borrowings under the revolver denominated in euros are limited to $500 million, equivalent. The Company can also borrow swingline loans up to $150 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $250 million; any outstanding Letters of Credit reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity. At June 30, 2013, the Company had $95 million of outstanding and unused Letters of Credit, reducing the Company’s borrowing capacity by such amount.

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

The New Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain (A) a maximum debt to total capitalization ratio, as adjusted for certain items, of 65 percent, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0. The debt to total capitalization ratio allows the add-back, if incurred, of up to the first $250 million of certain non-cash charges, including goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, occurring from and after January 1, 2012 that would negatively impact shareholders’ equity.

Based on the limitations of the debt to total capitalization ratio covenant in the New Credit Agreement, at June 30, 2013, the Company had additional borrowing capacity, subject to availability, of up to $910 million. Additionally, at June 30, 2013, the Company could absorb a reduction to shareholders’ equity of approximately $490 million and remain in compliance with the debt to total capitalization covenant.

Note H – concluded:

 

In order for the Company to borrow under the New Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in the Company’s covenants in the New Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of properties and insurance) and the Company’s representations and warranties in the New Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2012, in each case, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance and no material tax deficiency). The Company was in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings have been made at June 30, 2013.

 

I. The Company’s 2005 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms to employees and non-employee Directors of the Company. At June 30, 2013, outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of long-term stock awards, stock options, phantom stock awards and stock appreciation rights. Pre-tax compensation expense and the related income tax benefit for these stock-based incentives were as follows, in millions:

Long-Term Stock Awards. Long-term stock awards are granted to key employees and non-employee Directors of the Company and do not cause net share dilution inasmuch as the Company continues the practice of repurchasing and retiring an equal number of shares in the open market. The Company granted 1,623,080 shares of long-term stock awards in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The total market value (at the vesting date) of stock award shares which vested during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $32 million and $23 million, respectively.

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

The Company granted 869,000 of stock option shares in the six months ended June 30, 2013 with a grant date exercise price approximating $20 per share. In the first six months of 2013, 1,182,470 stock option shares were forfeited (including options that expired unexercised).

Additionally, 14 million common shares for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 34 million common shares for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 related to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect.

In the first six months of 2013, the Company granted 1.6 million shares of long-term stock awards; to offset the dilutive impact of these awards and awards granted in late 2012, the Company also repurchased and retired 1.7 million shares of Company common stock, for cash aggregating approximately $35 million. At June 30, 2013, the Company had 22.6 million shares of its common stock remaining under the July 2007 Board of Directors’ repurchase authorization.

On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $.075 ($.075) and $.15 ($.15), respectively for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

 

P. We are subject to claims, charges, litigation and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, product recalls, construction defect, insurance coverage, personnel and employment disputes and other matters, including class actions. We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters and that the outcome of these matters is not likely to have a material adverse effect on us. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters, and we could in the future incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of operations.

 

Q. Our effective tax rate was 30 percent and 25 percent for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from the partial utilization of our U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2013 includes an $11 million state income tax benefit on uncertain tax positions primarily due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation.

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company incurred income tax expense of $31 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $12 million and for the first half of 2012 the effective tax rate was 79 percent. The unusual 2012 tax rate is primarily due to losses in certain jurisdictions providing no tax benefit and an increase in the valuation allowance related to net operating losses. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2012 includes a $21 million state income tax benefit on uncertain tax positions primarily from the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions and certain audit closings.

As a result of expirations of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions expected to transpire or occur within the next 12 months, the Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the liability for uncertain tax positions could be reduced by approximately $3 million.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (concluded)

Note Q – concluded:

 

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

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

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

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

A return to sustainable profitability in the U.S. is required before we would change our judgment regarding the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.

Although the recent strengthening in new home construction activity has resulted in profitability in the Company’s U.S. operations during the first half of 2013, we continue to record a full valuation allowance against the U.S. Federal deferred tax assets as the Company is expected to remain in a three-year cumulative loss position throughout 2013.

It is reasonably possible that the continued improvements in our U.S. operations could result in the objective positive evidence necessary to warrant the reversal of all or a portion of the valuation allowance as early as the fourth quarter of 2014. Until such time, the profits from our U.S. operations will be offset by the net operating loss carryforward resulting in a lower U.S. effective tax rate.

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. However, we believe that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results.

NET SALES

Net sales increased ten percent and seven percent for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2012. Currency translation and the sales related to the acquisition of a small U.K door business did not significantly affect our sales.

North American net sales were positively impacted by increased sales volume of cabinets (such increase in cabinets was completely offset by a less favorable product mix), installation and other services, plumbing products, paints and stains, windows and builders’ hardware, which, in the aggregate, increased sales by ten percent and seven percent for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2012. Net sales in both periods were also positively affected by net selling price increases, primarily related to cabinets, installation and other services and windows, which increased sales by one percent for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, from the comparable periods of 2012.

A weaker U.S. dollar increased International net sales by one percent in the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period of 2012. In local currencies, net sales from International operations increased six percent and two percent for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to increased sales volume and selling price increases of International plumbing products.

Net sales of Cabinets and Related Products increased due to increased sales volume and selling prices of North American cabinets, resulting in sales growth in this segment of 12 percent and 11 percent in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2012. Such increases were offset by a less favorable product mix related to North American cabinets, which reduced sales in this segment by seven percent for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 from the comparable periods of 2012.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net sales of Plumbing Products increased due to increased sales volume and increased selling prices of both North American and international operations, which, on a combined basis, increased sales by nine percent and six percent for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, from the comparable periods of 2012, respectively.

Net sales of Installation and Other Services increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to increased sales volume related to a higher level of activity in new home construction, as well as increased sales volume of retrofit and commercial sales. Net sales in this segment were also positively affected by increased selling prices.

Net sales of Decorative Architectural Products increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, due to increased sales volume of paints and stains and builders’ hardware, partially offset by lower selling prices.

Net sales of Other Specialty Products increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, compared with the same periods in 2012, due to increased sales volume and increased selling prices of North American windows in the Western U.S. A stronger U.S. dollar decreased sales by one percent in both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012.

OPERATING MARGINS

Our gross profit margins were 28.3 percent and 27.8 percent for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with 26.8 percent for each of the comparable periods of 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 19.6 percent and 19.8 percent for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 20.2 percent and 20.5 percent, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2012.

Gross profit margins and selling, general and administrative expenses for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 were positively affected by increased sales volume, which offset the impact of increased business rationalization costs. Gross profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was also positively affected by a more favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs.

We have been focused on the strategic rationalization of our businesses, including business consolidations, plant closures, headcount reductions, system implementations and other initiatives. Operating profit for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 includes $18 million and $26 million, respectively, of costs and charges related to our business rationalizations and other initiatives. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, we incurred costs and charges of $7 million and $18 million, respectively, related to these initiatives.

We anticipate that full-year 2013 rationalization charges for the entire Company will aggregate approximately $55 million compared to our previous estimate of $40 million. The increase in our full-year estimate of business rationalization costs is due to additional plant closures and headcount reductions related to a business integration within our Plumbing Products segment. We continue to evaluate our businesses for opportunities to improve our cost structure and business processes, which may result in additional rationalization charges.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Operating margins in the Cabinets and Related Products segment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 reflect a more favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs and the benefits associated with business rationalization activities and other cost savings initiatives, partially offset by a less favorable product mix and increased business rationalization costs.

Operating margins in the Plumbing Products segment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 were positively impacted by increased sales volume, a more favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs (including the impact of the metal hedge contracts), partially offset by a less favorable product mix.

Operating margins in the Installation and Other Services segment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 were positively impacted by increased sales volume and the related absorption of fixed costs.

Operating margins in the Decorative Architectural Products segment for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 were positively affected by increased sales volume; such increases were completely offset by a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs and increased advertising costs. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, this segment was positively affected by increased sales volume.

Operating margins in the Other Specialty Products segment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 reflect increased sales volume and the related absorption of fixed costs, as well as a more favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs, partially offset by increased business rationalization costs.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Interest expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 decreased $8 million and $12 million, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2012 primarily due to the repurchase and retirement of $791 million of 5.875% Notes in 2012, partially offset by the issuance of 5.95% Notes due 2022. This activity resulted in a net debt reduction of $400 million in 2012.

Other items, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 included $(2) million and $1 million, respectively, of currency transaction (losses) gains. Other items, net, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 included $1 million of currency transaction losses.

Other, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 included income of $5 million and $8 million, respectively, related to distributions from private equity funds and income from other financial investments. Other, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 included gains of $2 million and $18 million, respectively, related to distributions from private equity funds. Other, net for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 included impairment of $2 million related to a private equity fund.

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS – Attributable to Masco Corporation

Income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was $82 million and $138 million compared with $(51) million and $(9) million for the comparable periods of 2012. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was $.23 per common share and $.38 per common share, respectively, compared with $(.15) per common share and $(.03) per common share, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2012. (Loss) for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 included a charge for litigation settlement of $75 million.

Our effective tax rate was 30 percent and 25 percent for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from the partial utilization of our U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2013 includes an $11 million state income tax benefit on uncertain tax positions primarily due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation.

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company incurred income tax expense of $31 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $12 million and for the first half of 2012 the effective tax rate was 79 percent. The 2012 tax rate is higher than our normalized tax rate of 36 percent primarily due to losses in certain jurisdictions providing no tax benefit and an increase in the valuation allowance related to net operating losses. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2012 includes a $21 million state income tax benefit on uncertain tax positions primarily from the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions and certain audit closings.

A return to sustainable profitability in the U.S. is required before we would change our judgment regarding the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. It is reasonably possible that the continued improvements in our U.S. operations could result in the objective positive evidence necessary to warrant the reversal of all or a portion of the valuation allowance as early as the end of 2014. Until such time, the profits from our U.S. operations will be offset by the net operating loss carryforward resulting in a lower U.S. effective tax rate.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our current ratio was 1.7 to 1 at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash of $59 million was provided by operating activities. First half 2013 cash from operations was affected by an expected and annually recurring seasonal first half increase in accounts receivable and inventories compared with December 31, 2012.

Net cash used for financing activities was $127 million. Financing activities include $54 million for the payment of cash dividends, $34 million for the payment of dividends to noncontrolling interests and $35 million for the acquisition of Company common stock in open-market transactions to offset the dilutive impact of long-term stock awards granted in 2013. Net cash used for investing activities was $51 million, including $59 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by net proceeds from financial investments of $11 million and net proceeds from the sale of fixed assets of $7 million.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our cash and cash investments were $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Our cash and cash investments consist of overnight interest bearing money market demand and time deposit accounts, money market mutual funds and government securities.

Of the $1.2 billion and the $1.4 billion of cash and cash investments held at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $483 million and $572 million, respectively, is held in foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed for our operations in the U.S., their repatriation into the U.S. may result in additional U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes. The amount of such taxes is dependent on the income tax laws and circumstances at the time of distribution.

On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a bank group, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion and a maturity date of March 28, 2018. Upon entry into the New Credit Agreement, the Company’s credit agreement dated as of June 21, 2010, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion, was terminated. See Note H to the financial statements.

Based on the limitations of the debt to total capitalization covenant in the New Credit Agreement, at June 30, 2013, the Company had additional borrowing capacity, subject to availability, of up to $910 million. Additionally, at June 30, 2013, the Company could absorb a reduction to shareholders’ equity of approximately $490 million and remain in compliance with the debt to total capitalization covenant.

We were in compliance with all covenants and had no borrowings under our credit agreement at June 30, 2013.

We have $200 million of 7.125% Notes due August 15, 2013 (“Notes”). We plan to use available cash to retire the Notes.

We believe that our present cash balance, cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, bank borrowings and future financial market activities, are sufficient to fund our working capital and other investment needs.

OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY

We continue to make progress on our strategic initiatives, which include leveraging our brands, reducing our costs, improving our Installation and Cabinets segments and strengthening our balance sheet. We are encouraged by the continued strength in new home construction activity, driven by the stabilization and improvement of home prices in many areas of the U.S., increasing affordability and demographics. These factors should continue to drive demand for new homes over the next several years. Increased new home construction activity benefits virtually all of our businesses.

We believe and are confident that the long-term fundamentals for the new home construction and home improvement markets continue to be positive. We believe that our strong financial position, together with our current strategy of investing in leadership brands, including KRAFTMAID® and MERILLAT® cabinets, DELTA® and HANSGROHE® faucets, BEHR® paint and MILGARD® windows, our continued focus on innovation and our commitment to lean principles, will allow us to drive long-term growth and create value for our shareholders.
