G&K SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in millions, except per share data)
Three and Nine month periods ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008
(Unaudited)
1. |
|
Basis of Presentation for Interim Financial Statements |
|
|
|
The consolidated condensed financial statements included herein, except for the June 28,
2008 balance sheet which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for
the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008, have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In our opinion, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial
position as of March 28, 2009, and the results of our operations for the three and nine
months ended and our cash flows for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the
disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is
suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest report on
Form 10-K. |
|
|
|
The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 28, 2009 and
March 29, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. |
|
|
|
The significant accounting policies we follow are set forth in Note 1 in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008. Additional significant accounting
policies are identified below. |
|
|
|
Environmental Costs |
|
|
|
We accrue various environmental related costs, which consist primarily of fines and
penalties, when it is probable that we have incurred a liability and the amount can be
reasonably estimated. When a single amount cannot be reasonably estimated but the cost can
be estimated within a range, we accrue the minimum amount. This accrued amount reflects our
assumptions regarding the nature of the remedy, and the outcome of discussions with
regulatory agencies. Changes in the estimates on which the accruals are based, including
unanticipated government enforcement actions, or changes in environmental regulations could
result in higher or lower costs. |
|
|
|
Accordingly, as investigation and other actions proceed, it is likely that adjustments in
our accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such
adjustments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows
in a given period. While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these environmental
matters, currently, none of these actions are expected to have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations or financial position. While we believe the possibility is
remote, there is the potential that we may incur additional losses in excess of established
reserves. |
|
|
|
Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in the accrued expenses line item in the
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Environmental costs are capitalized if they extend
the life of the related property, increase its capacity, and/or mitigate or prevent future
contamination. The cost of operating and maintaining environmental control equipment is
charged to expense. |
|
|
|
For additional information see Note 2, Contingent Liabilities. |
|
|
|
Impairments of Long-Lived Assets |
|
|
|
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). Recoverability of assets in |
6
|
|
accordance with SFAS No. 144 compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows from use and disposition
of assets to the carrying amounts of those assets. When the sum of projected undiscounted cash
flows is less than the carrying amount, impairment losses are recognized. In determining
such impairment losses, discounted cash flows are utilized to determine the fair value of
the assets being evaluated. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded an
impairment loss of $16.2 million related to certain long-lived assets and included that loss
in the goodwill and other impairment charges line item in the Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Operations. We did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets in
the consolidated condensed financial statements in the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 or
in fiscal 2008. |
|
|
|
For additional information see Note 11, Goodwill and
Other Impairment Charges.
|
|
|
|
Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
|
|
|
The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed annually in our fourth quarter for
possible impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable.
Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. Our
reporting units are U.S. Rental operations, Canadian Rental operations and Direct Sales
operations. The goodwill impairment
test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of each reporting units
fair value to its carrying value. We generally estimate fair value based on
discounted cash flows. The reporting units discounted cash flows require
significant management judgment with respect to sales, gross margin and SG&A rates, capital
expenditures and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The projected sales,
gross margin and SG&A expense rate assumptions and capital expenditures are based on our
annual business plan or other forecasted results. Discount rates reflect estimates of
a market-based weighted average cost of capital taking into consideration the
risks associated with the projected cash flows directly resulting from the use of those
assets in operations. The estimated fair value of reporting units are based on the best
information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions
would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could
increase or decrease any impairment charge. If the carrying value of a reporting unit
exceeds its estimated fair value in the first step, a second step is performed, in which the
reporting units goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. The second step
requires us to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit derived in the first step to
the fair value of the reporting units net assets, with any fair value in excess of amounts
allocated to such net assets representing the implied fair value of goodwill for that
reporting unit. |
|
|
|
For additional information see Note 11, Goodwill and
Other Impairment Charges. |
|
|
|
Reclassifications |
|
|
|
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended June 28, 2008, we reclassified certain amounts in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The line items impacted were cost of rental
operations, cost of direct sales, selling and administrative, and depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation expense is included in the cost of rental operations, cost of
direct sales, and selling and administrative line items. Amortization expense is included
in selling and administrative. In addition, certain amounts related to production and
manufacturing previously classified as cost of direct sales and selling and administrative
expenses were reclassified to cost of rental operations. |
|
|
|
As a result of the reclassifications implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008,
the results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 were reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our previously reported
income from operations, net income, cash flows, the basic and diluted earnings per share
amounts or beginning retained earnings. |

Environmental Matters |
|
|
|
We are currently involved in several environmental-related proceedings by certain
governmental agencies which relate primarily to operating certain facilities in
noncompliance with required permits. We resolved two of these proceedings in the fall of
2008 and have paid the negotiated penalties in these two actions. In addition to these
proceedings, in the normal course of our business, we are subject to, among other things,
periodic inspections by regulatory agencies. We continue to dedicate substantial
operational and financial resources to environmental compliance, and we remain fully
committed to operating in compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. During
the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we decided to enhance our oversight by engaging a
recognized international environmental consulting firm to conduct reviews of all of our
production facilities. By hiring experts in this complex area, we have gained additional
assurance with respect to our environmental compliance. We have substantially completed
these inspections and, where required, are undertaking appropriate corrective actions. As
of March 28, 2009, we had reserves of approximately $4.1 million related to these matters.
Total expense for these matters was $0 and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended
March 28, 2009, respectively, and is recorded in the selling and administrative line of the
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. |

|
|
Compensation Matters |
|
|
|
As a result of changes to prevailing compensation laws, we previously determined that it is
probable that we will be required to pay additional compensation to certain affected
employees for services previously rendered. While rulemaking regarding this law remains
ongoing, in an effort to estimate the amount, we have conducted extensive financial analysis
and have inspected available historical records. We established a reserve of approximately
$3.3 million for this liability, which we believe is sufficient to resolve this matter.
This amount was recorded in the cost of rental line of the Consolidated Condensed Statements
of Operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. We do not expect this change in
compensation law to materially impact our ongoing operations as we are in the process of
implementing operational changes to correct the issue. |
|
|
|
While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these environmental and compensation
matters, currently, none of these actions are expected to have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations or financial position. While we believe the possibility is
remote, there is the potential that we may incur additional losses in excess of established
reserves. |
|

|
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
|
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This
statement provides a definition of fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value in
U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. We adopted SFAS No. 157
effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, subject to the deferral provisions of FSP No. 157-2. Our adoption did not impact our
consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note 4 of the consolidated
condensed financial statements for additional disclosures. |
|
|
|
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). This statement permits companies to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is
to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate
volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We adopted SFAS
No. 159 effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, and did not elect the fair value
option for eligible items that existed at the date of adoption. |
|
|
|
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 161). This statement establishes enhanced disclosures about
derivative and hedging activities. We adopted SFAS No. 161 at the beginning of the quarter
ended March 28, 2009. Our adoption did not impact our consolidated financial position or
results of operations. See Note 5 of the consolidated condensed financial statements for
additional disclosures. |
|
|
|
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted |
|
|
|
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(r), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141
(r)). This statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This statement retains
the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting
(which SFAS No. 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and
for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This statement also
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in
its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired
in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature
and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(r) will apply prospectively
to business combinations that are consummated after June 27, 2009. |
|
|
|
We do not believe that SFAS 141(r) will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements. |
|
4. |
|
Fair Value Measurements |
|
|
|
As discussed in Note 3, we adopted SFAS No. 157 at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, subject to the deferral provisions of FSP No. 157-2, on June 29, 2008.
This standard defines fair value, establishes a |
9
|
|
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell 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. We considered non-performance risk when determining fair value of our
derivative financial instruments. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by SFAS No. 157
contains three levels as follows: |
|
|
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical
assets or liabilities at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
Level 2 Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted
prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including: |
|
|
|
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
|
|
|
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets; |
|
|
|
|
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and |
|
|
|
|
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data. |
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and
reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined
using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize managements estimates of market
participant assumptions. |
|
|
The following table summarizes the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis: |

Derivative Financial Instruments |
|
|
|
We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS No. 133) and related authoritative guidance. All derivative financial instruments are
recognized at fair value and are recorded in the other current assets or accrued expenses
line items in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The accounting for changes in the
fair value of a derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated
and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of the hedging
relationship. For those derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as
hedging instruments, we designate the hedging instrument (based on the exposure being
hedged) as cash flow hedges. We do not have any derivative financial instruments that have
been designated as either a fair value hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign
operation. Cash flows associated with derivative financial instruments are classified in the
same category as the cash flows hedged in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash
Flows. |
|
|
|
In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to market risks. We utilize derivative
financial instruments to manage interest rate risk and commodity price risk and periodically
foreign exchange risk. Interest rate swap contracts are entered into to manage interest
rate risk associated with our fixed and variable rate debt. Futures |
10
|
|
contracts on energy commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases
of gasoline and diesel fuel used in our rental operations. Forward exchange contracts on
foreign currencies are periodically entered
into to manage the foreign currency exchange risk associated with firm commitments
denominated in foreign currencies. In accordance with SFAS No.133, we designate interest
rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of the interest expense related to variable rate
debt and futures contracts on energy commodities as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases
of gasoline and diesel fuel. We have not designated our forward exchange contracts on
foreign currencies as hedging instruments. |
|
|
|
For derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges,
the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is reported
as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into the
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations in the same line item associated with the
forecasted transaction and in the same period as the expenses from the cash flows of the
hedged items are recognized. We perform an assessment at the inception of the hedge and on
a quarterly basis thereafter, to determine whether our derivatives are highly effective in
offsetting changes in the value of the hedged items. Any changes in the fair value resulting
from hedge ineffectiveness, is immediately recognized as income or expense. |
|
|
|
We use interest rate swap contracts to limit exposure to changes in interest rates and
balance the total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest
rate swap contracts we utilize effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk by
converting variable rate debt to a fixed rate. These contracts involve the receipt of
variable rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the
contract without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Approximately 80% of our
outstanding variable rate debt had its interest payments designated as the hedged forecasted
transactions to interest rate swap contracts at March 28, 2009. |
|
|
|
In addition, we purchase fuel commodity futures contracts to limit exposure to energy prices
and effectively hedge a portion of our anticipated gasoline and diesel fuel purchases. The
objective of these hedges is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the
forecasted purchases of those commodities. These contracts involve the receipt of variable
commodity amounts in exchange for fixed commodity payments over the life of the contract
without an exchange of the underlying commodity. Approximately 50% of our anticipated
gasoline and diesel fuel purchases for the next twelve months were designated as the hedged
forecasted transactions to fuel commodity futures contracts at March 28, 2009. |
|
|
|
We do not engage in speculative transactions or fair value hedging nor do we hold or issue
financial instruments for trading purposes. |
|
|
|
The following tables summarize the classification and fair value of the interest rate swap
agreements and fuel commodity futures contracts which have been designated as cash flow
hedging instruments under FAS 133: |

There were no derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments under
SFAS 133 as of June 28, 2008 and March 28, 2009. |
|
|
|
As our interest rate swap contracts qualify for cash flow hedge designation, the related
gains or losses on the contracts are deferred as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss (net of related income taxes) until the interest expense on the
related debt is recognized. As the interest expense on the hedged debt is recognized, the
other comprehensive income or loss is reclassified to interest expense. Of the $6.2 million
loss deferred in other comprehensive income as of March 28, 2009, a $3.1 million loss is
expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months. |
|
|
|
As of March 28, 2009, we had interest rate swap contracts to pay fixed rates of interest and
to receive variable rates of interest based on three-month LIBOR on $195.0 million notional
amount of indebtedness, of which $30.0 million will mature in the next twelve months. As of
March 28, 2009, we also have forward starting interest rate swaps of $30.0 million that pay
fixed rates of interest and receive variable rates of interest. The average rate on the
$195.0 million of interest rate swap contracts was 4.1% as of March 28, 2009. These
interest rate swap contracts have been designated as highly effective cash flow hedges and
accordingly, gains or losses on any ineffectiveness was not material to any period. |
|
|
|
As our fuel commodity futures contracts qualify for cash flow hedge designation, the related
gains or losses on these contracts are deferred as a component of other comprehensive income
or loss (net of related income taxes) until the expense is recognized on the hedged
commodity. Upon purchase of the hedged commodity the other comprehensive income or loss is
reclassified to cost of rental operations line item in the Consolidated Condensed Statements
of Operations. Of the $0.7 million loss deferred in other comprehensive income as of March
28, 2009, a $0.6 million loss is expected to be reclassified to cost of rental operations in
the next twelve months. |
|
|
|
As of March 28, 2009, we had fuel commodity futures contracts to pay fixed prices of
unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel and receive variable prices based on the Department of
Energy (DOE) index on 2.8 million gallons, of which 2.3 million gallons will occur in the
next twelve months. The weighted average fixed price on the 2.8 million gallons of fuel
commodity futures contracts was $2.84 per gallon as of March 28, 2009. These commodity
contracts have been designated as highly effective cash flow hedges and accordingly, gains
or losses on any ineffectiveness was not material to any period. |
|
|
|
We may also enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge firm commitments with
our foreign subsidiary. These agreements are recorded at fair value and the gains and
losses are included in earnings. There were no outstanding foreign currency exchange
contracts as of March 28, 2009 and June 28, 2008. |
|
|
|
The following tables summarize the amount of gain or loss recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss and the classification and amount of gains or losses

Exit, Disposal and Related Activities |
|
|
|
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we closed three processing plants, two branch
locations, reduced selected headcount and outsourced our fleet maintenance function. We
expect all payments associated with these actions to be completed by September 30, 2009. |
|
|
|
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we recorded approximately $2.6 million of
expense in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. These charges principally
impacted our United States operating segment. Of these amounts, approximately $1.0 million
was recorded in the cost of rental operations line item and the remaining $1.6 million was
recorded in the selling and administrative line item. |
|
|
|
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, we realigned our workforce to better match our
cost structure with our revenue volume. As a result of this realignment, we eliminated 340
personnel and recorded approximately $0.9 million in severance costs in the Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Operations. These charges impacted both our United States and
Canadian operating segments and did not significantly impact any one line item on our
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended March
28, 2009. Substantially all severance costs related to these actions were paid by March 28,
2009. |
|
7. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
Our fiscal 2009 year to date effective tax rate decreased to 19.9% for the first nine months
of fiscal year 2009 from 38.2% in the same period of fiscal year 2008. The current year tax
rate is significantly lower than our statutory rate primarily due to the impact of
nondeductible goodwill impairment charges, nondeductible environmental charges, the decrease
in tax reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of certain tax statutes,
and the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with certain expiring stock options.
The prior year rate was higher than our statutory rate due to an increase in reserves for
uncertain tax positions, offset by the utilization of a net operating loss previously deemed
unrealizable. Both periods included adjustments resulting from the final calculation and
filing of our annual income tax returns. |
|

|
Per Share Data |
|
|
|
Basic earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common
share was computed similarly to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the
denominator is increased for the dilutive effects of options and other dilutive securities,
including non-vested restricted stock, using the treasury stock method. |

We excluded potential common shares related to our outstanding equity compensation grants of
2.0 million and 1.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008,
respectively, and 1.8 million and 0.9 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 and
March 29, 2008, respectively, from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Inclusion
of these shares would have been anti-dilutive as the exercise price of these shares exceeded
their market value.

Goodwill and Other Impairment Charges |

Goodwill |
|
|
|
During the three months ended March 28, 2009, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of
$107.0 million related to our goodwill, of this amount $100.0 million was associated with
U.S. Rental operations and $7.0 million was related to Direct Sales operations. The
goodwill impairment charges described above are recorded on the goodwill and other
impairment charges line of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. |
|
|
|
The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed annually in our fourth quarter for possible
impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill may be impaired. In the
third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the accelerated deterioration in the economic
environment continued to negatively impact our operations. The resultant increased
disparity between our carrying value and market capitalization as of our measurement date
of January 31, 2009 prompted us to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. Goodwill
has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and consists of
U.S. Rental operations, Canadian Rental operations and Direct Sales operations. The
goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of
each reporting units fair value to its carrying value. In previous years, we used a market
valuation approach to determine fair value for each reporting unit. As of June 28, 2008,
our market capitalization substantially exceeded our carrying value. During the third
quarter of fiscal year 2009, we engaged a third party independent valuation consulting firm
to assist in determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Based on consultation with
our valuation specialist, we used both a market valuation and income valuation approach,
weighted evenly, to determine the fair values of our reporting units. The income valuation
was derived by discounting future forecasted cash flows using a market based weighted
average cost of capital. The market valuation was derived by referencing a measure of
invested capital compared to earnings and cash flows of a peer group of companies and
applying the resultant multiples to our reporting units. The combination of these
valuations produced an estimated fair value that was less than the carrying amount for the
U.S. Rental and Direct Sales reporting units. The fair value of our Canadian Rental
reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by more than 20%. If the carrying value of a
reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value in the first step, a second step is
performed, in which the reporting units goodwill is written down to its implied fair
value. The second step requires us to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit derived
in the first step to the fair value of the reporting units net assets. The second step
also requires, among other things, determining the estimated fair market value of our
tangible and intangible assets. Any fair value in excess of amounts allocated to such net
assets represents the implied fair value of goodwill for that reporting unit. |
15
|
|
The goodwill impairment testing process is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity.
Determination of fair value requires significant management judgment with respect to various
assumptions, including revenue volume, gross margins, SG&A rates, capital expenditures,
discount rates, terminal growth rates and the fair values of the reporting units tangible and
intangible assets and liabilities. The projected revenue levels, gross margins, SG&A rate, and
capital expenditure assumptions are based on our annual business plan or other forecasted results.
Discount rates reflect estimates of a market-based weighted average cost of capital taking into
consideration the risks associated with the projected cash flows directly resulting from the use of
those assets in operations. The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best
information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would
increase or decrease the estimated fair value and could materially increase or decrease any
impairment charge. The discount rates used in step one and step two ranged from 9.7%-l 1.7% and
included certain risk premiums. Our forecasted future cash flows considered both current and
future economic conditions and a terminal growth rate of 2.5%-3.0%. Changing the discount rate
by 50 basis points would increase or decrease the calculated fair values of the U.S. Rental,
Canadian Rental and Direct Sales reporting units by approximately $45 million, $10 million and
$1 million, respectively. Changing the terminal growth rate by 50 basis points would
increase or decrease the calculated fair values of the U.S. Rental, Canadian Rental and Direct Sales reporting
units by approximately $25 million, $5 million and $0, respectively. Increasing or
decreasing the fair values of the net assets of the impaired
reporting units by 5% as compared to the
values used in the preparation of these financial statements would increase or decrease the
goodwill impairment charge related to the U.S. Rental, and Direct Sales
reporting units by approximately $20 million, and $0, respectively. |
|
|
|
Long-Lived Assets |
|
|
|
Our long-lived assets are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets (SFAS No. 144). |
|
|
|
Asset impairment charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 include $7.2 million related to
properties held and used, $1.4 million related to properties held for sale, $7.6 million
related to computer software and $3.5 million related to customer contracts associated with
our Direct Sales reporting unit. |
|
|
|
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets held for use are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets
may not be recoverable. During the third quarter, as a result of the continued and accelerated
deterioration in the economic environment and expectations regarding future operating
performance, management took a series of actions to increase profitability and productivity.
Due to a combination of these factors and actions, we determined that the carrying value of
certain assets held and used exceeded their fair value. Determination of recoverability of
long-lived assets is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the
use of those assets in operation. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that
we expect to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. When an impairment loss is
recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. As a
result of our projected undiscounted future cash flows related to certain locations being less
than the carrying value of those assets, an impairment charge of $8.6 million was required.
The fair values of these asset groups were determined based on prices of similar assets. |
16
|
|
In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we made the decision to close and sell certain underperforming
production facilities. In connection with this decision and the plan to dispose of these asset
groups, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.4 million. The fair values of the asset groups to be
disposed of were determined based on prices of similar assets. |
|
|
|
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, due to the continued and accelerated deterioration in the
economic environment and expectations regarding future operating performance, we tested our Direct
Sales reporting units long-lived assets for impairment. It was determined that the carrying value
of certain computer software and customer contracts exceeded their associated fair values by
approximately $7.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were
determined based on discounted cash flows. |

Long-Term Debt |
|
|
|
We maintain a $325.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks,
which expires on August 31, 2010. As of March 28, 2009, borrowings outstanding under the
revolving credit facility were $167.1 million at rates ranging from 0.55% to 1.50% over the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The unused portion of the revolver may be used for
general corporate purposes, acquisitions, share repurchases, working capital needs and to
provide up to $50.0 million in letters of credit. As of March 28, 2009, letters of credit
outstanding against the revolver totaled $20.8 million and primarily relate to our property
and casualty insurance programs. No amounts have been drawn upon these letters of credit.
Availability of credit under this facility requires that we maintain compliance
with certain covenants. The covenants in this agreement are the most restrictive when
compared to our other facilities. The following table illustrates compliance with regard to
the material covenants required by the terms of this facility as of March 28, 2009: |

Our debt covenants are calculated by allowing an add back for non-cash charges, such as the
non-cash impairment charges discussed in Note 11. As a result, the non-cash impairment charges recorded in the third quarter
of fiscal year 2009 did not have a material effect on compliance with our debt covenants. |
|
|
|
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at 0.55% to 1.50% over the
LIBOR, or the Canadian prime rate for Canadian borrowings, based on a leverage ratio
calculated on a quarterly basis. Advances outstanding as of March 28, 2009 bear interest at
an average all-in rate of 1.39% (LIBOR plus 0.88%) for the Eurocurrency rate loans and an
all-in rate of 3.25% (Lender Prime Rate) for overnight Swingline and Base Rate loans. We
also pay a fee on the unused daily balance of the revolving credit facility based on a
leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis. |
|
|
|
We have $75.0 million of variable rate unsecured private placement notes. The notes bear
interest at 0.60% over LIBOR and are scheduled to mature on June 30, 2015. The notes do not
require principal payments until maturity. Interest payments are reset and paid on a
quarterly basis. As of March 28, 2009, the outstanding balance of the notes was $75.0
million at an all-in rate of 1.83% (LIBOR plus 0.60%). |
|
|
|
We maintain a receivable securitization facility whereby the lender will make loans to us on
a revolving basis up to a maximum of $60.0 million. The amount of funds available under the
loan agreement as of March 28, 2009 was $45.2 million, which was the amount of eligible
receivables less a reserve requirement. The agreement will expire on September 27, 2011.
We are required to pay interest on outstanding loan balances at a rate per annum of one
month LIBOR plus a margin or, if the lender is funding the loan through the issuance of
commercial paper to third parties, at a rate per annum equal to a margin plus the average
annual interest rate for such commercial paper. In connection with the loan agreement, we
granted a first priority security interest in certain of our U.S. based receivables. As of
March 28, 2009, there were no outstanding balances under this loan agreement. We are
required to pay a fee on the unused balance of the facility. |
|
|
|
We have $50.0 million, 8.4% unsecured fixed rate private placement notes with certain
institutional investors. The 10-year notes have a nine-year average life with a final
maturity on July 20, 2010. Beginning on July 20, 2004, and annually thereafter to maturity,
we will repay $7.1 million of the principal amount at par. As of March 28, 2009, there was
$14.3 million outstanding under the notes. |
|
|
|
See Note 5 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for details of our interest
rate swap and hedging activities related to our outstanding debt. |
14. |
|
Share-Based Compensation |
|
|
|
We grant share-based awards, including restricted stock and options to purchase our common
stock. Stock option grants are for a fixed number of shares to employees and directors with
an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. Share-based
compensation is recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The amortization of share-based
compensation reflects estimated forfeitures adjusted for actual forfeiture experiences. We
review our estimated forfeiture rates on an annual basis. As share-based compensation
expense is recognized, a deferred tax asset is recorded that represents an estimate of the
future tax deduction from the exercise of stock options or release of restrictions on the
restricted stock. At the time share-based awards are exercised, cancelled, expire or
restrictions lapse, we recognize adjustments to income tax expense. Total compensation
expense related to share-based awards was $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the three months
ended and $5.2 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 and March
29, 2008, respectively. The number of options that have been exercised and restricted stock
that vested since June 28, 2008, was 0.1 million shares. |

15. |
|
Employee Benefit Plans |
|
|
|
On December 31, 2006, we froze our pension and supplemental executive retirement plans. The
net periodic pension cost for these plans for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009
was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The net periodic pension cost for these
plans was $0.1 million for both the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008. In
addition, the components of net periodic pension cost for these plans are immaterial for the
three and nine months ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008. |
|
|
|
We do not anticipate that the recent decline in the global equity markets will have a
significant impact on our future expected long-term return on plan assets. However, if the
recent decline in economic conditions continues, or deteriorates further, we will consider
these developments when we determine our annual pension plan assumptions. |
|

|
Segment Information |
|
|
|
We have two operating segments, United States (includes the Dominican Republic and
Ireland Operations) and Canada, which have been identified as components of our
organization that are reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer to determine resource
allocation and evaluate performance. Each operating segment derives revenues from the
branded identity apparel and facility services industry, which includes rental of
garments, direct purchase items and non-apparel items such as floor mats, dust mops,
wiping towels, selected linen items and restroom products. During the nine months ended
March 28, 2009, and for the same period of the prior fiscal year, no single customer
accounts for more than 1.5% of our revenues. Substantially all of our customers are in
the United States or Canada. |
|
|
|
Income from operations includes the impact of an intercompany management fee which is
self-eliminated in the total income from operations below. As a result of a formal
transfer pricing study conducted at the end of fiscal year 2008, this intercompany
management fee was increased to 5.4% of Canadian revenue. The management fee was 5.4%
for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009 and approximately 1.1% for the same
periods in the prior fiscal year. |
|
|
|
We evaluate performance based on income from operations. Financial information by

For the nine months ended March 29, 2008, the Canada segment results were positively
impacted by $0.7 million, resulting from the net effect of a gain on the sale of
property, offset by expenses associated with fires at two of our production facilities.
The net Canadian impact was offset by expenses in our United States segment during the
nine months ended March 29, 2008, which included severance associated with the
realignment of our manufacturing operations and certain management positions, an
increase in our inventory reserves and expenses associated with certain legal matters
all of which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The net effect of these items
on the United States segment was approximately $1.7 million of expense for the nine
months ended March 29, 2008. |
|
|
|
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, we recorded a noncash charge for goodwill
and other impairments of $125.9 million in the U.S. segment and $0.8 million in our
Canadian segment. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations
for further discussion. |
|
|
|
The decline in Canadian revenue and income from operations from the third quarter of
fiscal 2009, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was due primarily to changes
in foreign currency exchange rates. The conversion rate changed from 0.9965 in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2008 to 0.8007 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
This resulted in lower revenue and income from operations of approximately $8.4 million
and $0.6 million respectively for the three months ended March 28, 2009. |

Stock Repurchase |
|
|
|
In May 2008, we announced the authorization to expand our share repurchase program from
$100.0 million to $175.0 million, which increased the share repurchase program previously
approved by our Board of Directors in May 2007. For the three months ended March 28, 2009
there were no share repurchases and for the three months ended March 29, 2008, we
repurchased 621,250 shares totaling $23.5 million. For the nine months ended March 28,
2009, we repurchased 650,387 shares totaling $16.1 million and for the nine months ended
March 29, 2008, we repurchased 1,791,735 shares totaling $69.7 million. As of March 28,
2009, we had $57.8 million remaining under this authorization. |

|
Restricted Stock Unit Withholdings |
|
|
|
We issue restricted stock units as part of our equity incentive plans. For the majority of
the restricted stock units granted, the number of shares issued on vesting date is net of
the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements that we pay in cash to the appropriate
taxing authorities on behalf of our employees. Although shares withheld are not
issued, they are treated as common stock repurchases in our financial statements, as they
reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
Overview
G&K Services, Inc., founded in 1902 and headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, is a market leader
in providing branded identity apparel and facility services programs that enhance image and safety
in the workplace. We serve a wide variety of North American industrial, service and
high-technology companies providing them with rented uniforms and facility services products such
as floor mats, dust mops, wiping towels, restroom supplies and selected linen items. We also sell
uniforms and other apparel items to customers in our direct sale programs. The North American
rental market is approximately $7.0 billion, while the portion of the direct sale market targeted
by us is approximately $5.0 billion.
Our industry continues to consolidate from many family owned and small local providers to several
large providers. We are participating in this industry consolidation. Our acquisition strategy is
focused on acquisitions in the rental and direct purchase businesses that expand our geographic
presence and/or expand our local market share and further leverage our existing production
facilities.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, economic conditions in the United States and Canada continued
to deteriorate. The severe decline in customer employment levels continues to challenge our
ability to maintain customers and generate growth. Our customers, in almost every industry across
North America, continue to reduce their workforces in response to a prolonged downturn in economic
activity. The rate of job losses in the United States in the last six months has accelerated
significantly, with 3.7 million of the 5.1 million jobs lost in the U.S. since December 2007
occurring in the past six months alone. Since October 2008, the Canadian economy has lost 0.4
million jobs. Our existing revenue base and growth rate are being pressured by these severe
declines in customer employment levels and our revenue growth is being impacted by the increasing
number of customers who are going out of business due to financial difficulties. In this economic
environment, customers continue to reduce usage of our products and
services and delay decisions to install new programs
or add products. Overall, our business is being pressured by the economic difficulty that is
impacting customer employment levels, financial condition and operating behavior. We believe we
are taking appropriate actions to adapt to these challenging economic conditions, including
realigning our workforce and taking actions to reduce costs. However, if these negative economic
trends continue our financial performance could be materially affected.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated
condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with United States generally
accepted accounting principles. As such, management is required to make certain estimates,
judgments and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable based on the information available.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and
uncertainties, the most important and pervasive accounting policies used and areas most sensitive
to material changes from external factors. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008 for additional discussion of
the application of these and other accounting policies.
Environmental Costs
We accrue various environmental related costs, which consist primarily of fines and penalties, when
it is probable that we have incurred a liability and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When
a single amount cannot be reasonably estimated but the cost can be estimated within a range, we
accrue the minimum amount. This accrued amount reflects our assumptions regarding the nature of
the remedy, and the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies. Changes in the estimates on
which the accruals are based, including unanticipated government enforcement actions, or changes in
environmental regulations could result in higher or lower costs.
21
Accordingly, as investigation and other actions proceed, it is likely that adjustments in our
accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a given period. While
we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these environmental matters, currently, none of these
actions are expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
position. While we believe the possibility is remote, there is the potential that we may incur
additional losses in excess of established reserves.
Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in the accrued expenses line item in the
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Environmental costs are capitalized if they extend the life
of the related property, increase its capacity, and/or mitigate or prevent future
contamination. The cost of operating and maintaining environmental control equipment is charged to
expense.
For additional information see Note 2, Contingent Liabilities.
Impairments of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets (SFAS No. 144). Recoverability of assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 compares the
projected undiscounted future cash flows from use and disposition of assets to the carrying amounts
of those assets. When the sum of projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying
amount, impairment losses are recognized. In determining such impairment losses, discounted cash
flows are utilized to determine the fair value of the assets being evaluated. During the third
quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded an impairment loss of $16.2 million related to certain
long-lived assets and included that loss in the goodwill and other impairment charges line item in
the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. We did not record any impairment losses on
long-lived assets in the consolidated condensed financial statements in the first two quarters of
fiscal 2009 or in fiscal 2008.
For additional information see Note 11, Goodwill and Other Impairment Charges.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed annually in our fourth quarter for possible
impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable. Goodwill has been
assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. Our reporting units are U.S.
Rental operations, Canadian Rental operations and Direct Sales operations. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The
first step is a comparison of each reporting units fair value to its carrying value. We generally estimate fair value
based on discounted cash flows. The reporting
units discounted cash flows require significant management judgment with respect to sales, gross
margin and SG&A rates, capital expenditures and the selection and use of an appropriate discount
rate. The projected sales, gross margin and SG&A expense rate assumptions and capital expenditures
are based on our annual business plan or other forecasted results. Discount rates reflect estimates
of a market-based weighted average cost of capital taking into consideration the risks
associated with the projected cash flows directly resulting from the use of those assets in
operations. The estimated fair value of reporting units are based on the best information
available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or
decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease any
impairment charge. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value in
the first step, a second step is performed, in which the reporting units goodwill is written down
to its implied fair value. The second step requires us to allocate the fair value of the reporting
unit derived in the first step to the fair value of the reporting units net assets, with any fair
value in excess of amounts allocated to such net assets representing the implied fair value of
goodwill for that reporting unit.
For additional information see Note 11, Goodwill and Other Impairment Charges.

Three months ended March 28, 2009 compared to three months ended March 29, 2008
Revenues. Total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased 8.0% to $231.0 million from
$251.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
Rental revenue decreased $23.1 million, or 9.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the
same period of the prior fiscal year. Our organic rental revenue was approximately negative 7.25%
compared to approximately positive 2.75% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our organic
rental growth was negatively impacted by economic-driven customer attrition, reduced customer
employment levels, lower usage levels and lower new account sales due to difficult economic
conditions. Organic rental revenue is calculated using rental revenue, adjusted for foreign
currency exchange rate changes and revenue from newly acquired businesses compared to prior-period
results. We believe that the organic rental revenue reflects the growth of our existing rental
business and is therefore useful in analyzing our financial condition and results of operations.
In absolute
dollars, rental revenue was negatively impacted by approximately $8.1 million or 3.5% compared to
the prior year rental revenue due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation rates
with Canada.
Direct sale revenue increased 16.4% to $21.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared
to $18.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. The organic direct sale growth rate during the
current period was approximately 17.75%. The increase in direct sale revenue was due to the roll
out of an apparel program to a major airline industry customer partially offset by an economic
decrease in demand from other customers that negatively impacted the third quarter of fiscal year
2009.
23
Cost of Rental. Cost of rental operations decreased 7.2% to $147.0 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 from $158.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of rental
revenue, our gross margin from rental sales decreased to 29.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009
from 32.0% in the same period of fiscal 2008. The decrease in rental gross margin was a result of
the reduction in fixed cost absorption from lower rental revenue, the impact of severance costs and
higher vehicle maintenance costs as we transitioned to our out-source provider, partially offset by
the benefit of location consolidations and lower energy costs.
Cost of Direct Sales. Cost of direct sales increased to $15.5 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 from $13.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. Gross margin from direct sales
increased to 26.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from 24.6% in the third quarter of fiscal
2008. The increase in gross margin is primarily the result of lower compensation costs and the
benefit of fixed cost leverage on higher direct sales volume.
Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 6.2% to $54.0 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $57.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. As a
percentage of total revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to 23.4% in the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 from 22.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In absolute dollars, the
decrease is primarily due to the focus on reducing our non-revenue producing workforce and limiting
discretionary spending, partially offset by higher health care costs and regulatory compliance
costs.
Impairment Charges. As discussed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements,
during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, we conducted an impairment analysis for our goodwill,
intangible assets and our long-lived assets. This analysis concluded that certain of our goodwill,
intangible assets, and long-lived assets carrying values exceeded their related fair values by
$126.7 million. This non-cash charge consisted of $107.0 million related to goodwill, $16.2
million related to long-lived assets and $3.5 million related to certain customer lists and is
reported on the goodwill and other impairment charges line item of the Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 28, 2009.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $3.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, down from
$3.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. The decrease in interest expense is primarily the
result of lower average debt balances and lower rates in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 when compared to the
same period for the prior fiscal year.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate decreased to 25.3% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 from 39.9% in the same period of fiscal 2008. The prior period tax rate was higher
primarily due to an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions, offset by the utilization of
a net operating loss previously deemed unrealizable in the prior year and the impact of
nondeductible goodwill impairment charges and the decrease in tax reserves for uncertain tax
positions due to the expiration of certain tax statutes in the current year.
Nine months ended March 28, 2009 compared to nine months ended March 29, 2008
Revenues. Total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 decreased 4.3% to $718.0 million
compared to $750.2 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Rental revenue decreased $31.1 million, or 4.5% in the first nine months. Our organic rental
revenue was approximately negative 3.0% in 2009 compared to approximately a positive 3.25% in 2008.
Current year organic rental growth was negatively impacted by economic-driven customer attrition,
reduced employment levels and lower new account sales due to difficult economic conditions. In
absolute dollars, revenue decreased approximately 2.1% compared to the prior year due to the
unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation rates with Canada.
Direct sale revenue decreased 1.9% to $57.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009
compared to $58.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. The organic direct sale growth rate
during the current period was approximately negative 1.5%. The decrease in direct sale revenue was
due to the non-renewal of a contract with a major customer during fiscal 2008 and by an
economic driven decrease in demand from other customers, substantially offset by increased revenues
from the rollout of an apparel program to a major airline industry customer.
Cost of Rental. Cost of rental operations decreased 1.3% to $460.9 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 2009 from $466.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of
rental revenue, our gross margin from rental sales decreased to 30.2% in the first nine months of
fiscal 2009 from 32.5% in the same period of fiscal 2008. The decrease in rental gross margin was
a result of additional costs in fiscal 2009 associated with a recent change in compensation law of
$3.3 million, a
24
charge of $1.4 million associated with the expense reduction actions, increased
production and health care costs as well as the effect of fixed cost absorption on lower sales
volumes.
Cost of Direct Sales. Cost of direct sales increased to $42.8 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2009 from $42.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. Gross margin from direct sales
decreased to 25.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from 27.5% in the same period of fiscal
2008. The decrease in gross margin is primarily the result of increased merchandise and freight
costs as well as the impact of fixed cost absorption associated with lower direct sales volume.
Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 0.4% to $170.9 million
in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from $171.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. As
a percentage of total revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to 23.8% in the first
nine months of fiscal 2009 from 22.9% in the same period of fiscal 2008. The increase is primarily
the result of $4.5 million of expense associated with certain environmental reserves for fines and
penalties and related expenses, approximately $2.1 million related to severance, increased bad debt
expense and foreign currency transaction costs. These increases were partially offset by cost
reduction efforts and lower incentive based compensation expense.
Impairment Charges. As discussed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements,
during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, we conducted an impairment analysis for our goodwill,
intangible assets and our long-lived assets. This analysis concluded that certain of our goodwill,
intangible assets, and long-lived assets carrying values exceeded their related fair values by
$126.7 million. This non-cash charge consisted of $107.0 million related to goodwill, $16.2
million related to long-lived assets and $3.5 million related to certain customer lists and is
reported on the goodwill and other impairment charges line item of the Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Operations for the nine months ended March 28, 2009.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $10.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009, down
from $11.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. The decrease in interest expense is
primarily the result of significantly lower average debt balances achieved during the third quarter
of fiscal year 2009 as well as lower rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our fiscal 2009 year to date effective tax rate decreased to 19.9% for
the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 from 38.2% in the same period of fiscal year 2008. The
current year tax rate is significantly lower than our statutory rate primarily due to the impact of
nondeductible goodwill impairment charges, nondeductible environmental charges, the decrease in tax
reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of certain tax statutes, and the
write-off of deferred tax assets associated with certain expiring stock options. The prior year
rate was higher than our statutory rate due to an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions,
offset by the utilization of a net operating loss previously deemed unrealizable. Both periods
included adjustments resulting from the final calculation and filing of our annual income tax
returns.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
Our primary sources of cash are net cash flows from operations and borrowings under our debt
arrangements. Primary uses of cash are interest payments on indebtedness, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, share repurchases and general corporate purposes.
Working capital at March 28, 2009 was $142.4 million, down 15.9% from $169.3 million at June 28,
2008. Working capital was primarily used to reduce long-term debt obligations by $30.7 million.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $73.9 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 2009 and $73.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. Cash generated from
operating activities increased primarily due to improved collections on accounts receivable partially offset
by lower net income in fiscal year 2009.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $18.4 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 2009 and $82.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. There have been no
acquisitions in fiscal year 2009; as a result, cash used in investing activities decreased when
compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. In fiscal 2009, cash was used primarily for
purchases of property, plant and equipment. In fiscal 2008, cash was used primarily for
acquisition of business assets and purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities. Cash used for financing activities was $51.5 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 2009 and cash provided by financing activities was $4.9 million in the same period
of fiscal 2008. Cash used for financing activities in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to net
repayment of debt and repurchases of our common stock. Cash provided by financing activities in
fiscal 2008 was principally from our credit facilities, and issuance of stock under employee stock
option agreements,
25
partially offset by cash expenditures for our share repurchase program. We paid
dividends of $3.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, compared to $3.1 for the
same period in fiscal 2008.
We maintain a $325.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, which
expires on August 31, 2010. As of March 28, 2009, borrowings outstanding under the revolving
credit facility were $167.1 million at rates ranging from 0.55% to 1.50% over the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR). The unused portion of the revolver may be used for general corporate
purposes, acquisitions, share repurchases, working capital needs and to provide up to $50.0 million
in letters of credit. As of March 28, 2009, letters of credit outstanding against the revolver
totaled $20.8 million and primarily relate to our property and casualty insurance programs. No
amounts have been drawn upon these letters of credit.
Availability of credit under this facility requires that we maintain compliance with
certain covenants. The covenants in this agreement are the most restrictive when compared to our
other facilities. The following table illustrates compliance with regard to the material covenants
required by the terms of this facility as of March 28, 2009.

Our debt covenants are calculated by allowing an add back for non-cash charges, such as the
non-cash impairment charges discussed in Note 11.
As a result, the non-cash impairment charges recorded in the third quarter of fiscal
year 2009 did not have a material effect on compliance with our debt covenants.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at 0.55% to 1.50% over the LIBOR, or
the Canadian prime rate for Canadian borrowings, based on a leverage ratio calculated on a
quarterly basis. Advances outstanding as of March 28, 2009 bear interest at an average all-in rate
of 1.39% (LIBOR plus 0.88%) for the Eurocurrency rate loans and an all-in rate of 3.25% (Lender
Prime Rate) for overnight Swingline and Base Rate loans. We also pay a fee on the unused daily
balance of the revolving credit facility based on a leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis.
We have $75.0 million of variable rate unsecured private placement notes. The notes bear interest
at 0.60% over LIBOR and are scheduled to mature on June 30, 2015. The notes do not require
principal payments until maturity. Interest payments are reset and paid on a quarterly basis. As
of March 28, 2009, the outstanding balance of the notes was $75.0 million at an all-in rate of
1.83% (LIBOR plus 0.60%).
We maintain a receivable securitization facility whereby the lender will make loans to us on a
revolving basis up to a maximum of $60.0 million. The amount of funds available under the loan
agreement as of March 28, 2009 was $45.2 million, which was the amount of eligible receivables less
a reserve requirement. The agreement will expire on September 27, 2011. We are required to pay
interest on outstanding loan balances at a rate per annum of one month LIBOR plus a margin or, if
the lender is funding the loan through the issuance of commercial paper to third parties, at a rate
per annum equal to a margin plus the average annual interest rate for such commercial paper. In
connection with the loan agreement, we granted a first priority security interest in certain of our
U.S. based receivables. As of March 28, 2009, there were no outstanding balances under this loan
agreement. We are required to pay a fee on the unused balance of the facility.
We have $50.0 million, 8.4% unsecured fixed rate private placement notes with certain institutional
investors. The 10-year notes have a nine-year average life with a final maturity on July 20, 2010.
Beginning on July 20, 2004, and annually thereafter to maturity, we will repay $7.1 million of the
principal amount at par. As of March 28, 2009, there was $14.3 million outstanding under the
notes.
See Note 5 of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for details of our interest rate swap
and hedging activities related to our outstanding debt.
Cash Obligations. Under various agreements, we are obligated to make future cash payments in fixed
amounts. These include payments under the variable rate term loan and revolving credit facility,
the fixed rate term loan, capital lease obligations and rent payments required under non-cancelable
operating leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year and the payments in
settlement of certain matters discussed in Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings of this report.
26
At March 28, 2009, we had available cash and cash equivalents on hand of $15.3 million and
approximately $182.3 million of available capacity under our credit facilities ($137.1 million
under the revolving credit facility and $45.2 million available under our receivables
securitization facility). We anticipate that we will generate sufficient cash flows from
operations to satisfy our cash commitments and capital requirements for fiscal 2009 and to reduce
the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility; however, we may utilize borrowings
under the revolving credit facility to supplement our cash requirements from time to time. We
estimate that capital expenditures in fiscal 2009 will be approximately $23.0-$27.0 million.
Cash generated from operations could be affected by a number of risks and uncertainties. In fiscal
2009, we may actively seek and consider acquisitions of business assets. The consummation of any
acquisition could affect our liquidity profile and level of outstanding debt. We believe that our
earnings and cash flows from operations, existing credit facilities and our ability to obtain
additional debt or equity capital, if necessary, will be adequate to finance acquisition
opportunities.
We rely upon access to the capital markets, including bank financing, to provide sources of
liquidity for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases. Although we believe that we
will be able to maintain sufficient access to the capital markets, changes in current market
conditions, deterioration in our business performance, or adverse changes in the economy could
limit our access to these markets. We may access the capital markets during the remainder of
fiscal 2009 dependent on our requirements and market conditions. Although we cannot predict the
availability of future funding, we do not believe that the overall credit concerns in the markets
will impede our ability to access the capital markets because of our financial position.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 28, 2009, we had $20.8 million of stand-by letters of credit that were issued and
outstanding, primarily in connection with our property and casualty insurance programs. No amounts
have been drawn upon these letters of credit.
Pension Obligations
We account for our defined benefit pension plan using SFAS No. 87 Employers Accounting for
Pensions (SFAS 87) and SFAS No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans. Under SFAS 87, pension expense is recognized on an accrual basis over
employees approximate service periods. Pension expense calculated under SFAS 87 is generally
independent of funding decisions or requirements. The income we recognized for our defined benefit
pension plan was not material in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and was $0.1 million in the same
period of fiscal 2008. At June 28, 2008, the fair value of our pension plan assets totaled $44.2
million.
Effective January 1, 2007 we have frozen our defined benefit pension plan and related supplemental
executive retirement plan. Future growth in benefits will no longer occur beyond December 31, 2006.
The calculation of pension expense and the corresponding liability requires the use of a number of
critical assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the
assumed discount rate. Changes in these assumptions can result in different expense and liability
amounts, and future actual experience can differ from these assumptions. Pension expense increases
as the expected rate of return on pension plan assets decreases. At June 28, 2008, we estimated
that the pension plan assets will generate a long-term rate of return of 8.0%. This rate was
developed by evaluating input from our outside actuary as well as long-term inflation assumptions.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets at June 28, 2008 is based on an allocation of
equity and fixed income securities. Decreasing the expected long-term rate of return by 0.5% (from
8.0% to 7.5%) would increase our estimated 2009 pension expense by approximately $0.2 million.
Pension liability and future pension expense increase as the discount rate is reduced. We
discounted future pension obligations using a rate of 7.20% at June 28, 2008. Our outside actuary
determines the discount rate by creating a yield curve based on high quality bonds.
Decreasing the discount rate by 0.5% (from 7.20% to 6.70%) would increase our accumulated benefit
obligation at June 28, 2008 by approximately $4.0 million.
Future changes in plan asset returns, assumed discount rates and various other factors related to
the participants in our pension plan will impact our future pension expense and liabilities. We
cannot predict with certainty what these factors will be in the future. We do not anticipate that
the recent decline in the global equity markets will have a significant impact on our future
27
expected long-term return on plan assets. However, if the recent decline in economic conditions
continues, or deteriorates further we will consider these developments when we determine our annual
pension plan assumptions.
Reclassifications
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended June 28, 2008, we reclassified certain amounts in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The line items impacted were cost of rental operations, cost
of direct sales, selling and administrative, and depreciation and amortization. Depreciation
expense is included in the cost of rental operations, cost of direct sales, and selling and
administrative line items. Amortization expense is included in selling and administrative. In
addition, certain amounts related to production and manufacturing previously classified as cost of
direct sales and selling and administrative expenses were reclassified to cost of rental
operations.
As a result of the reclassifications implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the
results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 were reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our previously reported income from
operations, net income, cash flows, the basic and diluted earnings per share amounts or beginning
retained earnings.
The following table summarizes the changes to originally reported amounts and subtotals in the
Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 29, 2008.

Exit, Disposal and Related Activities
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we closed three processing plants, two branch locations,
reduced selected headcount and outsourced our fleet maintenance function. We expect all payments
associated with these actions to be completed by September 30, 2009.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we recorded approximately $2.6 million of expense in
the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. These charges principally impacted our United
States operating segment. Of these amounts, approximately $1.0 million was recorded in the cost of
rental operations line item and the remaining $1.6 million was recorded in the selling and
administrative line item.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, we realigned our workforce to better match our cost
structure with our revenue volume. As a result of this realignment, we eliminated 340 personnel
and recorded approximately $0.9 million in severance costs in the Consolidated Condensed Statements
of Operations. These charges impacted both our United States and Canadian operating segments and
did not significantly impact any one line item on our Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Operations for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009. Substantially all of the severance
costs related to these actions were paid by March 28, 2009.
Litigation
We are involved in a variety of legal actions relating to personal injury, employment,
environmental and other legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. These legal
actions include a lawsuit that challenged the practice of charging for certain environmental
services on invoices, which was settled in fiscal year 2006 and is presently being administered.
We are party to certain additional legal matters described in Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings
of this report.
While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, currently, none of these actions are expected
to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. While we
believe the possibility is remote, there is the potential that we may incur additional losses in
excess of established reserves.
Environmental Matters
We are currently involved in several environmental-related proceedings by certain governmental
agencies which relate primarily to operating certain facilities in noncompliance with required
permits. We resolved two of these proceedings in the fall of 2008 and have paid the negotiated
penalties in these two actions. In addition to these proceedings, in the normal course of our
business, we are subject to, among other things, periodic inspections by regulatory agencies. We
continue to dedicate substantial operational and financial resources to environmental compliance,
and we remain fully committed to operating in compliance with all environmental laws and
regulations. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we decided to enhance our oversight by
engaging a recognized international environmental consulting firm to conduct reviews of all of our
production facilities. By hiring experts in this complex area, we have gained additional assurance
with respect to our environmental compliance. We have substantially completed these inspections
and, where required, are undertaking appropriate corrective actions. As of March 28, 2009, we had
reserves of approximately $4.1 million related to these matters. Total expense for these matters
was $0 and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively, and is
recorded in the selling and administrative line of the Consolidated Condensed Statement of
Operations.
Compensation Matters
As a result of changes to prevailing compensation laws, we previously determined that it is
probable that we will be required to pay additional compensation to certain affected employees for
services previously rendered. While rulemaking regarding this law remains ongoing, in an effort to
estimate the amount, we have conducted extensive financial analysis and have inspected available
historical records. We established a reserve of approximately $3.3 million for this liability,
which we believe is sufficient to resolve this matter. This amount was recorded in cost of rental
in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of
29
Operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. We
do not expect this change in compensation law to materially impact our ongoing operations as we are
in the process of implementing operational changes to correct the issue.
While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these environmental and compensation matters,
currently, none of these actions are expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations or financial position. While we believe the possibility is remote, there is the
potential that we may incur additional losses in excess of established reserves.
Share-Based Compensation
We grant share-based awards, including restricted stock and options to purchase our common stock.
Stock option grants are for a fixed number of shares to employees and directors with an exercise
price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. Share-based compensation is
recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period. The amortization of share-based compensation reflects estimated
forfeitures adjusted for actual forfeiture experiences. We review our estimated forfeiture rates
on an annual basis. As share-based compensation expense is recognized, a deferred tax asset is
recorded that represents an estimate of the future tax deduction from the exercise of stock options
or release of restrictions on the restricted stock. At the time share-based awards are exercised,
cancelled, expire or restrictions lapse, we recognize adjustments to income tax expense. Total
compensation expense related to share-based awards was $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the three
months ended and $5.2 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 and March
29, 2008, respectively. The number of options that have been exercised and restricted stock that
vested since June 28, 2008, was 0.1 million shares.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This
statement provides a definition of fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value in U.S.
GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. We adopted SFAS No. 157 effective at
the beginning of fiscal year 2009, subject to the deferral provisions of FSP No. 157-2. Our adoption did not impact our consolidated financial position
or results of operations. See Note 4 of the consolidated condensed financial statements for
additional disclosures.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). This statement permits companies to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings
caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex
hedge accounting provisions. We adopted SFAS No. 159 at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, and did
not elect the fair value option for eligible items that existed at the date of adoption.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS No. 161). This statement establishes enhanced disclosures about derivative and
hedging activities. We adopted SFAS No. 161 at the beginning of the quarter ended March 28, 2009.
Our adoption did not impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note
5 of the consolidated condensed financial statements for additional disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(r), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141 (r)). This
statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental
requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS No. 141 called
the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for
each business combination. This statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the
acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and
measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and
(c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(r) will apply
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is after June 27, 2009.
We believe that SFAS 141(r) will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor from civil litigation
for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as
estimates, anticipates, projects, plans, expects, intends, believes, seeks,
could, should, may and will or the negative versions thereof and similar expressions and by
the context in which they are used. Such statements are based upon our current expectations and
speak only as of the date made. These statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and
other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in or implied by this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not
limited to, the possibility of greater than anticipated operating costs, including energy costs,
lower sales volumes, the performance and costs of integration of acquisitions or assumption of
unknown liabilities in connection with acquisitions, fluctuations in costs of materials and labor,
costs and possible effects of union organizing activities, loss of key management, uncertainties
regarding any existing or newly-discovered expenses and liabilities related to environmental
compliance and remediation, failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls for
financial reporting required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the initiation or outcome of
litigation or government investigation, higher assumed sourcing or distribution costs of products,
the disruption of operations from catastrophic events, disruptions in capital markets, the
liquidity of counterparties in financial transactions, changes in federal and state tax laws,
economic uncertainties caused by the current recession and the reactions of competitors in terms of
price and service. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances arising after the date on which they are made except as required by law.
Additional information concerning potential factors that could effect future financial results is
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates. We use financial
instruments such as interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate on our fixed and
variable rate debt. Under these arrangements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the
difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon
notional principal amount. Interest rate swap agreements are entered into for periods consistent
with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures.
The estimated exposure considers the mitigating effects of interest rate swap agreements
outstanding as of March 28, 2009 on the change in the cost of variable rate debt. The current fair
market value of all outstanding contracts as of March 28, 2009 is an unrealized loss of $11.3
million.
A sensitivity analysis was performed to measure our interest rate risk over a one-year period for
forecasted debt levels and interest rate swaps. The base rates used for the sensitivity analysis
for variable debt and interest rate swaps is the three month LIBOR rate as of March 28, 2009. The
credit spread is included in the base rates used in the analysis. The two scenarios include
measuring the sensitivity to interest expense with an immediate 100 basis points increase and
decrease on market interest rates and the impact of a gradual increase and decrease of 25 basis
points. Based on the forecasted average debt level, outstanding interest rate swaps and current
market interest rates, the forecasted interest expense is $11.1 million. The scenario with an
immediate increase or decrease of 100 basis points on market interest rates would increase or
decrease forecasted interest by $0.9 million or 8.0%. The scenario with a gradual 25 basis point
increase or decrease would increase or decrease forecasted interest expense by $0.5 million or
4.9%.
Energy Cost Risk
We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in energy costs. To manage this risk, we
have established target levels of forecasted purchases in which the price will not be subject to
market price changes. We use derivative financial instruments to manage the risk that changes in
gasoline costs will have on our future financial results. We purchase futures contracts to
effectively hedge a portion of anticipated actual energy purchases. Under these arrangements, we
agree to exchange, at specified
intervals, the difference between fixed and floating commodity prices calculated by reference to an
agreed-upon notional principal amount. The futures contracts are reflected at fair value in the
consolidated balance sheet and the related gains or losses on these contracts are deferred in
stockholders equity (as a component of other comprehensive income) for contracts that achieve cash
flow hedge accounting or in the statements of operations depending on the effectiveness of the
hedge. Upon settlement of each contract, the actual gain or loss is reflected in cost of rental
operations. The current fair market value of all outstanding contracts as of March 28, 2009 is an
unrealized loss of $1.3 million.
31
A sensitivity analysis was performed to measure our energy cost risk over a one-year period for
forecasted levels of gasoline purchases. The sensitivity analysis that was performed assumed
gasoline prices at March 28, 2009, hedged gallons of 2.3 million, forecasted gasoline purchases
over a one-year period. For each one percentage point increase or decrease in gasoline prices under
these forecasted levels and prices, our forecasted gasoline expense would change by approximately
$0.1 million.
Production costs at our plants are also subject to fluctuations in natural gas costs. To reduce our
exposure to changes in natural gas prices, we utilize natural gas supply contracts in the normal
course of business. These contracts meet the definition of normal purchases or normal sales under
SFAS 133 and therefore, are not considered derivative instruments for accounting purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our material foreign subsidiaries are located in Canada. The assets and liabilities of these
subsidiaries are denominated in the Canadian dollar and as such are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using
the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on
translation of assets and liabilities are recorded as a component of stockholders equity. Gains
and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.
Based on their evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during
the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 9, 2008, pursuant to a complaint filed in Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford in
the State of Connecticut on April 8, 2008 by the Commissioner of Environmental Protection of the
State of Connecticut against us (the Complaint), the Commissioner of Environmental Protection of
the State of Connecticut secured a temporary injunction in Superior Court in the State of
Connecticut against us, prohibiting us from laundering shop or printer towels at our Waterbury,
Connecticut facility, requiring us to cease use of certain related equipment, and requiring us to
comply with certain throughput limits prescribed in permits previously issued to us by the State of
Connecticut relative to this facility. The Commissioner alleges that our operations at this
facility violated certain previously issued permits and/or that we are operating this facility in
the absence of certain required permits. In addition, on August 4, 2008, the Commissioner filed a
request for leave to file an amended complaint in this matter (Proposed Amended Complaint). In
the Proposed Amended Complaint, the Commissioner alleged two additional counts with respect to our
Waterbury, Connecticut facility and one additional count regarding our East Hartford, Connecticut
facility. All three counts allege that our operations in the two facilities violated certain
hazardous waste rules. Any violation of the temporary injunction by us would subject us to
monetary penalties. We are and will continue to conduct our Waterbury, Connecticut facility in
strict accordance with the terms of the temporary injunction, and we will continue to work in good
faith with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection to resolve these matters,
including with respect to any amounts which may be payable.
We became aware that our Des Moines, Iowa facility violated the facilitys wastewater treatment
permit. In addition, we became aware that this facility incorrectly reported its wastewater
sampling results to the City of Des Moines. We promptly brought this matter to the attention of
the City of Des Moines Attorneys office and the water reclamation authority. We also immediately
launched our own investigation. As part of our investigation, we learned, among other things, that
the City of Des Moines water reclamation authority was aware of the situation and had referred
this matter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). We also understand that the
U.S. EPA has referred this matter to the U.S. Attorneys office in Des Moines, Iowa. On November
25, 2008, the U.S. Attorney served a Grand Jury subpoena requesting various documents,
32
correspondence, e-mails and electronic documents related to the wastewater treatment system at the
Des Moines facility. In response to the subpoena, we have submitted certain information to the
U.S. Attorney and will submit additional responsive information as it becomes available. Further,
on November 18, 2008, we paid the Des Moines Metropolitan Wastewater Reclamation Authority $0.1
million in surcharges toward resolving this matter with the city.
On July 24, 2008, the U.S. EPA inspected our facility in South Chicago, Illinois. As part of its
inspections, the U.S. EPA identified certain alleged deficiencies with respect to the operations at
this facility, including potential recordkeeping violations and opportunities to improve the
overall environmental compliance and permitting of the facility. The U.S. EPA has not yet provided
a written record of its findings. Since the U.S. EPAs inspection, we have had an independent
environmental consulting firm audit this facility. This firm identified certain operational
deficiencies at the facility, and we are currently undertaking corrective actions.
In the summer and fall of 2008, the U.S. EPA inspected our facility in Manchester, New Hampshire.
As part of its inspection, the U.S. EPA identified certain alleged deficiencies with respect to the
operations at this facility, including potential recordkeeping violations and opportunities to
improve the facilitys overall environmental compliance and permitting. Since the U.S. EPAs
inspection, we have had a third party independent environmental consulting firm audit this
facility. This firm identified certain operational deficiencies, and we are currently undertaking
corrective actions. In a letter, dated December 30, 2008, the U.S. EPA requested additional
information regarding our Manchester and Portsmouth, New Hampshire facilities to evaluate
compliance with the Clean Air Act and applicable state and federal regulations, and the U.S. EPA
issued a testing order requiring us to sample and test certain emissions at the Manchester
facility. We submitted a response and proposed test protocol to the U.S. EPA and to the New
Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (the NHDES) on February 27, 2009. The U.S. EPA is
still reviewing our submittals at this time. However, it appears that air stack testing is
tentatively scheduled for May 2009. Our personnel and environmental consultant have met with
representatives of the U.S. EPA and the NHDES at the Manchester facility on several occasions to
discuss the nature and extent of the requested testing.
By letter, dated June 25, 2008, the U.S. EPA notified us that it was preparing to bring an
administrative enforcement action against us in connection with alleged violations of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act at our facilities in Pittsburg, California and Santa Fe Springs,
California. The alleged violations generally pertained to two tanks used to store recovered
solvent, and to various training, reporting and contingency-planning requirements. The U.S. EPA
also provided us with its letter containing: (a) a list of alleged violations of Californias
hazardous waste management requirements at the Pittsburg facility, and (b) hazardous-waste
management recommendations made by Contra Costa Health Services following a March 27, 2008
inspection of the Pittsburg facility. We entered into a consent agreement and final order (the
EPA Agreement) with the U.S. EPA that settles their allegations in this matter. Pursuant to the
EPA Agreement, we paid a penalty of $0.4 million, but we did not admit or deny any of the
allegations made by the U.S. EPA. Further, we continue to implement additional environmental
corrective actions at the two facilities.
While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, currently, none of these actions are expected
to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. While we
believe the possibility is remote, there is the potential that we may incur additional losses in
excess of established reserves.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should
carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial
condition or future results. Except as set forth below there have been no material changes to the
risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2008. The
risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
We periodically review the carrying value of goodwill for possible impairment; if future
circumstances indicate that goodwill is impaired, we could be required to write down amounts of
goodwill and record impairment charges.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we reduced the carrying value of our goodwill from $423.0
million to $316.0 million and recorded a related non-cash impairment charge of $107.0 million. We
continue to monitor relevant circumstances, including customer spending levels, general economic
conditions and the market price for our common stock, and the potential impact that such
circumstances might have on the valuation of our goodwill. It is possible that changes in such
circumstances, or in the
33
numerous variables associated with the judgments, assumptions and
estimates made by us in assessing the appropriate valuation of our goodwill, could in the future
require us to further reduce our goodwill and record related non-cash impairment charges. If we
were required to further reduce our goodwill and record related non-cash impairment charges, our
financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Compliance with environmental laws and regulations could result in significant costs that adversely
affect our operating results.
Our operating locations are subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment and health and safety matters, including those governing discharges
or pollutants to the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes
and the clean-up of contaminated sites. The operation of our businesses entails risks under
environmental laws and regulations. We could incur significant costs, including clean-up costs,
fines and sanctions and claims by regulators or third parties for property damage and personal
injury, as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws and regulations. We could also
be required, as a result of violations of these laws and regulations, to reduce or cease use of
certain equipment and limit or stop production at certain facilities. These consequences could
materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and disrupt
customer relationships. We are currently involved in a limited number of legal matters and
remedial investigations and actions at various locations. While it is impossible to ascertain the
ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including lawsuits,
legal matters and environmental contingencies, based on information currently available and our
best assessment of the ultimate amount and timing of environmental-related events, we believe that
the cost of these environmental-related matters are not reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. It is possible, however, that
our future financial position or results of operations for any particular future period could be
materially affected by changes in our assumptions or strategies related to these contingencies, the
imposition of additional clean-up obligations, the discovery of additional alleged contamination or
changes out of our control. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required to
comply with environmental laws and regulations, including requirements that may be adopted or
imposed in the future.
Under environmental laws, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to pay the costs of
removing or remediating hazardous materials located on or emanating from property, whether or not
the owner or operator knew of or was responsible for the presence of such hazardous materials.
While we regularly engage in environmental due diligence in connection with acquisitions, we can
give no assurance that locations that have been acquired or leased have been operated in compliance
with environmental laws and regulations during prior periods or that future uses or conditions will
not make us liable under these laws or expose us to third-party actions, including tort suits.
At each reporting period, we assess our operations to determine whether the costs of resolution of
legal matters or of investigation and remediation of environmental conditions are probable and can
be reasonably estimated as well as the adequacy of our reserves with respect to such costs. In
fiscal year 2009, we increased our reserves for environmental matters to approximately $4.1
million. We cannot guarantee that our reserves with respect to environmental matters will be
sufficient or that the costs of resolution of legal matters or of remediation and investigation
will not substantially exceed our reserves as new facts, circumstance or estimates arise.
Volatility in the global economy could adversely affect results.
Global financial markets have been experiencing an extreme disruption in recent months, including,
among other things, volatility in security prices, diminished liquidity and credit availability,
rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. However, there can be
no assurance that there will not be further change, which could lead to challenges in our business
and negatively impact our financial results. The current tightening of credit in financial markets
adversely affects the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing for significant
purchases and operations and could result in a decrease in orders and spending for our products and
services. In addition, the decline in the economic environment, could negatively impact
assumptions we use to value our pension plan assets and obligations which could result in a
material adverse impact to our financial results in future periods. We are unable to predict the
likely duration and severity of the current
disruption in financial markets and adverse economic conditions and the effects they may have on
our business and financial condition.
Fluctuations in demand for our products and services may harm our financial results and are
difficult to forecast.
Current uncertainty in global economic conditions poses a risk to the overall economy as consumers
and businesses may defer purchases in response to tighter credit and negative financial news, which
could negatively impact our customers which could
34
consequently have a negative impact on our
financial performance. If demand for our products and services fluctuates as a result of economic
conditions or otherwise, our revenue and operating margin could be negatively impacted. Important
factors that could cause demand for our products and services to fluctuate include:
|
|
|
changes in business and economic conditions, including a further downturn in the automobile industry and/or the
overall economy; |
|
|
|
|
changes in consumer confidence caused by changes in market conditions, including changes in the credit market,
expectations for inflation, and energy prices; |
|
|
|
|
competitive pressures, including pricing pressures, from companies that have competing products and services; |
|
|
|
|
changes in customer needs; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the employment levels at our customers which impacts the number of users of our products and services; |
|
|
|
|
strategic actions taken by our competitors; and |
|
|
|
|
market acceptance of our products and services. |
If our customers demand for our products and services decreases, our plant and manufacturing
capacity could be underutilized, and we may be required to record an impairment on our long-lived
assets including facilities and equipment, as well as intangible assets, which would increase our
expenses. The change in demand for our products and services, and changes in our customers needs,
could have a variety of negative effects on our competitive position and our financial results,
and, in certain cases, may reduce our revenue, increase our costs, lower our gross margin
percentage, or require us to recognize impairments of our assets.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In May 2008, we announced the authorization to expand our share repurchase program from $100.0
million to $175.0 million, which increases the share repurchase program previously approved by our
Board of Directors in May 2007. For the three months ended March 28, 2009, there were no shares
repurchased and for the three months ended March 29, 2008, we repurchased 621,250 shares totaling
$23.5 million. For the nine months ended March 28, 2009, we repurchased 650,387 shares totaling
$16.1 million and for the nine months ended March 29, 2008, we repurchased 1,791,735 shares
totaling $69.7 million. During the three months ended March 28, 2009 there was no cash spent on
the repurchase of shares. Cash spent on the repurchase of shares totaled approximately $23.5
million during the three months ended March 29, 2008 and approximately $16.1 million and $70.7
million during the nine months ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008, respectively. The amount
of cash expended during the nine month period ending March 29, 2008 included $1.0 million for
shares repurchased in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 but not paid until July 2, 2007. As
of March 28, 2009, we had $57.8 million remaining under this authorization.
