PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the audited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and related notes are attached to this quarterly report beginning at page F-1 hereof and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements with respect to us. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, those set forth in Forward-Looking Statements and other matters included elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Overview
We are a leading supplier to the light and heavy-duty vehicle aftermarket for replacement parts, supplying a broad range of filtration, fuel delivery and cooling systems products and vehicle electronics products. We believe, based on management estimates, that we maintain a leading market position in each of our four product lines, including the number one market position by revenue in both fuel delivery systems and cooling systems in the North American light vehicle aftermarket. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, 77% and 78% of our net sales, including OES channel sales, respectively, were generated from sales to a diverse group of aftermarket customers, including some of the largest and fastest growing companies in our industry. We have developed a global and low-cost manufacturing, sourcing and distribution platform and we sell into multiple sales channels, including retailers, wholesale distributors, dealers and the heavy-duty vehicle market. Our principal end-markets include light vehicles, commercial vehicles and construction, mining, agricultural, marine and other industrial equipment.
We believe we have one of the most comprehensive product lines in the aftermarket, offering approximately 44,300 unique part numbers. The majority of our products, including fuel delivery systems, vehicle electronics and cooling systems, are non-discretionary parts that must be replaced upon failure for the vehicle to successfully operate. In addition, filtration products are replaced at regular maintenance intervals, generating a predictable, recurring revenue stream. This overall product mix provides a stable base of business, even in difficult economic cycles.
7
Aftermarket sales generally are tied to the regular replacement cycle or the natural wearing cycle of a vehicle part; accordingly, we expect industry growth will be heavily influenced by the following key factors: increasing global vehicle population, aging of vehicle population, increasing vehicle miles driven and a growing heavy-duty aftermarket.
The following is a discussion of the key line items included in the financial statements presented below under the heading Results of Operations. These are the measures that management utilizes most to assess our results of operations and anticipate future trends and risks in our business.
Components of Comprehensive Income
Net Sales
Net sales, including related party sales to FRAM Group, includes the selling price of our products sold to our customers, less provisions for warranty costs, estimated sales returns, customer allowances and cash discounts. Provisions for sales returns, customer allowances and warranty costs are recorded at the time of sale based upon historical experience, current trends and our expectations regarding future experience. Adjustments to such sales returns, allowances and warranty costs are made as new information becomes available. In addition, up-front costs to obtain exclusive contracts and other new business changeover costs are recorded as a reduction to sales in arriving at net sales. Recording such provisions as a reduction to sales is customary in our industry.
As most of our sales are to the aftermarket, we believe that our sales are primarily driven by the number of vehicles on the road, the average age of those vehicles, the average number of miles driven per year, the mix of light trucks to passenger cars on the road and the relative strength of our sales channels. Historically, our sales have not been materially adversely affected by market cyclicality, as we believe that our aftermarket sales are less dependent on economic conditions than our sales to OEMs, due to the generally non-discretionary nature of vehicle maintenance and repair. While many vehicle maintenance and repair expenses are non-discretionary in nature, high gasoline prices and difficult economic conditions can lead to a reduction in miles driven (a key metric in measuring aftermarket performance), which then results in increased time intervals for routine maintenance and vehicle parts lasting longer before needing replacement. Over the last several years, long-term trends have included an increase in oil change service intervals to an average of 6,000 miles due to improved vehicle and product quality and a consumer shift from DIY to DIFM resulting from aggressive pricing by auto maintenance services, both of which have applied pressure to our business. We have also seen a decline in the replacement rate of fuel delivery systems parts driven by improved OEM product quality and other factors.
Historically high crude oil prices in 2008 and corresponding historically high retail gasoline prices at the pump negatively impacted consumers driving and vehicle maintenance habits. While miles driven have increased four of the five years since 2008, with the exception of a 2.2% decrease in 2011, the increases have been small and intermittent, mirroring the U.S. economic recovery. Miles driven during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 1.1% and 0.7%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Our net sales are impacted by consumer discretionary spending for auto repairs by the end-users of our products. For example, during the years 2009 through 2011, general consumer discretionary spending was affected by significant increases in U.S. average gasoline prices at the pump, which increased approximately 83% from January 2009 through December 2011. Although U.S. average gasoline prices were similar in December 2011 and December 2013, there remained a significant amount of volatility in gasoline prices as evidenced by quarterly fluctuations between the dates including increases ranging from 8.8% to 17.7% in three of the eight quarters in this period and decreases ranging from 2.2% to 14.0% in the other five quarters. The spikes in gasoline prices reflect the near record highs reached in March, April and September of 2012. In line with the increases in miles driven discussed above, U.S. average gasoline prices at the pump during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased 1.8% and 1.5%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
We believe that we have leading market positions in our primary product lines, based on management estimates, and we continue to expand our product and service offerings to meet the needs of our customers. We believe that a key competitive advantage is that we have one of the most comprehensive product offerings in the vehicle replacement parts market, consisting of approximately 44,300 parts. This product breadth, along with our extensive manufacturing and distribution capabilities, product innovation and reputation for quality and service, makes us a leader in our industry.
8
It is also important to note that net sales to AutoZone accounted for 26.8% and 29.2% of our total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. AutoZone is considered to be a leader in the North American aftermarket and, as with all of our customers, we make efforts to maintain and strengthen our relationship with AutoZone. Our failure to maintain a favorable relationship with AutoZone could result in a significant decrease in our net sales. Even if we maintain our relationship, this sales concentration with one customer increases the potential impact to our business that could result from any changes in the economic terms of this relationship or a change in AutoZones business.
In addition, as result of long life-cycle OEM contracts, which went into production in 2013, net sales with GM were 14.5% and 10.1% of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
Lastly, as a result of the acquisition of CARQUEST stores by Advance, our net sales to Advance were 10.4% of our total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes all costs of manufacturing required to bring a product to a ready-for-sale condition. Such costs include direct and indirect materials, direct and indirect labor and benefit costs, supplies, utilities, freight, depreciation, insurance, warehousing, distribution and other costs. Cost of sales also includes all costs to procure, package and ship products that we purchase and resell.
With the slight recovery being experienced in the general U.S. economy, we have experienced increases in certain commodities costs and extended supply lead times as a result of suppliers having reduced their capacity during the economic downturn. Continued economic recovery would likely increase the demand for many of the commodities used in our business. While we have been, and expect to continue to be, able to obtain sufficient quantities of these commodities to satisfy our needs, increased demand from current levels for these commodities could result in further cost increases and may make procurement more difficult in the future.
In addition to the adverse impact of increasing commodities and energy costs, we may be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily relating to the Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso means that our Mexican operations pay more pesos to obtain inventory from the United States. Conversely, a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso means that our Mexican operations pay fewer pesos to obtain inventory from the United States. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the U.S. dollar to Mexican peso exchange rate strengthened 3.9% and 3.1%, respectively. Additionally, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Mexican peso by 2.0% when compared to the exchange rate at September 30, 2013. During 2013, we completed a restructuring plan affecting our Mexican operations, which has resulted in a reduction in the amount of U.S.-sourced inventory purchased by our Mexican operations, and thereby reduced our currency exposure risk related to these inventory purchases.
In addition, the value of the Chinese yuan increased 1.0% and decreased 1.6% against the U.S. dollar during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and increased 0.4% and 1.8% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. An increase in the Chinese yuan against the U.S. dollar would result in an increase in the costs of goods imported from China that are denominated in Chinese yuan. Conversely, a decrease in the Chinese yuan against the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease in the costs of goods imported from China that are denominated in Chinese yuan.
We attempt to mitigate the effects of cost increases and unfavorable foreign currency changes via a combination of design changes, material substitution, global resourcing efforts, other cost savings initiatives and increases in the selling prices for our products. With respect to pricing, it should be noted that, while the terms of supplier and customer contracts and special pricing arrangements can vary, generally a time lag exists between when we incur increased costs and when we might recover a portion of the higher costs through increased pricing. This time lag typically spans a fiscal quarter or more, depending on the specific situation. We continue to pursue efforts to mitigate the effects of any cost increases; however, there are no assurances that we will be successful. To the extent that we are unsuccessful, our profit margins will be adversely affected, and even if we are successful in maintaining our gross margin dollars, our gross margin percentages will decline. Because of uncertainties regarding future commodities and energy prices, and the success of our mitigation efforts, it is difficult to estimate the impact of changes in commodities and energy costs on future operating results.
9
We continually review our business for cost saving opportunities and from time to time have engaged third party consultants to help identify these opportunities. We implemented a number of cost savings initiatives in recent years to align our cost structure with current business levels and we have continued to implement cost savings initiatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Cost savings initiatives have included workforce reductions in both direct and indirect manufacturing headcounts, as well as savings in the areas of plant operations and procurement. We also continue to tighten control over discretionary selling and general and administrative expenses. These cost savings actions are expected to help offset the adverse impact of higher material and other costs.
We also continue to realize cost savings and operational efficiencies related to cost sharing and manufacturing arrangements with FRAM Group. See further discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources Cost Sharing and Manufacturing Arrangements with FRAM Group.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include executive, accounting, selling, marketing and administrative personnel salaries and fringe benefits, marketing and advertising costs, professional fees, pension benefits, insurance, provision for doubtful accounts, rent and information technology costs.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what we anticipate, and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change our reported results.
We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in that they significantly affect our financial statements, and they require our most significant estimates and complex judgments.
Revenue Recognition
We record sales, including related party sales to FRAM Group, when title has transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and the collection of the related accounts receivable is reasonably assured. Our related party sales to FRAM Group are entered into on an arms-length basis documented by product purchase orders.
Some agreements with our customers provide for sales discounts, marketing allowances, return allowances and performance incentives. Any discount, allowance or incentive is treated as a reduction to sales, based on estimates of the criteria that give rise to the discount, allowance or incentive, such as sales volume and marketing spending. We routinely review these criteria and our estimating process and make adjustments as facts and circumstances change.
In order to obtain exclusive contracts with certain customers, we may incur up-front costs or assume the cost of returns of products sold by the previous supplier. The up-front costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the contract as a reduction of sales. The cost of returns of products sold by the previous supplier is recorded as a reduction to sales as incurred.
New business changeover costs also can include the costs related to removing a new customers inventory and replacing it with our inventory, commonly referred to as a stocklift. Stocklift costs are recorded as a reduction to sales as incurred.
Our customers have the right to return parts that are covered under our standard warranty within stated warranty periods. Our customers also have the right, in varying degrees, to return excess quantities of product. Credits for parts returned under warranty and parts returned because of customer excess quantities are estimated and recorded as a reduction to sales at the time of the related sales. These estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and our expectations regarding future experience. Revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts and circumstances that give rise to the revision become known. Any significant increase or decrease in the amount of product returns above or below historical levels could have a material effect on our financial results. Our product returns accrual was $40.0 million at September 30, 2014. A hypothetical 10% increase in the product returns accrual would decrease our pre-tax earnings by $4.0 million.

Restructuring Charges
We recognize a liability for restructuring charges in the period in which the liability is incurred. These restructuring charges include costs for certain initiatives such as consolidation of operations or facilities, management reorganization, rationalization of non-manufacturing infrastructure, outsourcing of non-core components and asset impairments. See Note 2 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for a more detailed discussion of restructuring charges.
Inventory
We record inventory at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using standard cost, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Estimated market value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required.
Impairment of Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
Goodwill is subject to annual review unless conditions arise that require a more frequent evaluation. The review for impairment is either a qualitative assessment or a two-step process. If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment and determine that the fair value more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary. For the two-step process, the first step is to compare the estimated fair value of the business with the recorded net book value (including the goodwill). If the estimated fair value of the business is higher than the recorded net book value, no impairment is deemed to exist and no further testing is required. If, however, the estimated fair value of the business is below the recorded net book value, then a second step must be performed to determine the goodwill impairment required, if any. In this second step, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of the business over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the book value of the goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.
We perform our annual goodwill impairment review as of December 31 each year using discounted future cash flows, unless conditions exist that would require a more frequent evaluation. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective because it requires the use of estimates and assumptions as to future cash flows, discount rates commensurate with the risks involved in the assets, future economic and market conditions, competition, customer relations, pricing, raw material costs, production costs, selling, general and administrative costs, and income and other taxes. Although we base cash flow forecasts on assumptions that are consistent with plans and estimates we use to manage our business, there is significant judgment in determining the cash flows.
Trademarks with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually as of December 31, unless conditions arise that would require a more frequent evaluation. In assessing the recoverability of these assets, projections regarding estimated discounted future cash flows and other factors are made to determine if impairment has occurred. If we conclude that there has been impairment, we will write down the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. As noted in our annual report, as of December 31, 2013, we recognized an impairment to an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. As a result, there was no surplus between the carrying value and recoverable amount of this indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, increasing the risk that adverse changes in market conditions will trigger a further impairment. As a result of forecasted lower branded sales, including a change by a customer from our branded to private label products and another customers decision to change suppliers, we retested the recoverable amount of this intangible as of
11
June 30, 2014 and recognized an impairment loss of $38.0 million. At September 30, 2014, no additional impairment loss had been recognized. See further discussion in Note 5 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
We also evaluate those trademarks with indefinite lives to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite lives.
Retirement Benefits
Pension obligations are actuarially determined and are affected by assumptions including discount rate, life expectancy, annual compensation increases and the expected rate of return on plan assets. Changes in the discount rate, and differences between actual results and assumptions, will affect the amount of pension expense we recognize in future periods.
Post-retirement benefit obligations are actuarially determined and are based on assumptions including discount rate, life expectancy and health care cost trends. Changes in the discount rate, and differences between actual results and assumptions, will affect the amount of post-retirement benefit expense we recognize in future periods.
Insurance Reserves
Our insurance policies for workers compensation, automobile, product and general liability include high deductibles or self-insured retention (up to $0.5 million per event) for which we are responsible, which are recorded in accrued expenses as incurred. Estimates of such losses involve substantial uncertainties including litigation trends, the severity of reported claims and incurred but not yet reported claims. External actuaries are used to assist us in estimating these losses. Our self-insured insurance reserves, including group medical insurance reserves, were $7.3 million as of September 30, 2014. A hypothetical 10% increase in the insurance reserves would decrease our pre-tax earnings by $0.7 million.
Environmental Expenditures
Our expenditures for environmental matters fall into two categories. The first category is routine compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to the protection of the environment. The costs of such compliance are based on actual charges and do not require significant estimates.
The second category of expenditures is for matters related to investigation and remediation of contaminated sites. The impact of this type of expenditure requires significant estimates by management. The estimated cost of the ultimate outcome of these matters is included as a liability in our September 30, 2014 interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. This estimate is based on all currently available information, including input from outside legal and environmental professionals, and numerous assumptions. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not exceed the $1.1 million accrued at September 30, 2014 by a material amount, if at all. However, because all investigation and site analysis has not yet been completed and because of the inherent uncertainty in such environmental matters and any related litigation, there can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not be significantly different than our estimates. See Note 10 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for a more detailed discussion of our environmental contingencies.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. We establish valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when the ability to fully utilize these benefits is determined to be uncertain. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable in the years in which they are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that are intended to be permanently reinvested. Where we do not intend to permanently reinvest earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, we provide for U.S. income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes, where applicable, on undistributed earnings.
12
We record a liability for uncertain tax positions when management concludes that the likelihood of sustaining such positions upon examination by taxing authorities is less than more-likely-than-not. We also record any interest and penalties related to these uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax (expense) benefit in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Net sales. Net sales of $251.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $0.8 million, or 0.3%, compared to net sales of $252.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our related party net sales decreased $5.4 million primarily due to lower retail channel sales in FRAM Groups filtration product line and an increase in FRAM Groups internally-sourced filtration products as a result of our ongoing filtration manufacturing footprint optimization project.
Our third party net sales increased $4.6 million, or 1.8%, as follows:
| Our OEM/OES channel net sales increased $7.0 million, or 12.2%, primarily due to OEM projects in our cooling systems product line, which were launched during the first half of 2013 and were still ramping up during the three months ended September 30, 2013; |
| Our traditional channel net sales increased $3.1 million, or 6.0%, primarily due to new customers in our fuel delivery and cooling systems product lines and the timing of replenishment orders in our cooling systems and filtration product lines, partially offset by lower pricing due to increased competition affecting our fuel delivery systems product line driven by improved OE product quality and other factors that have negatively impacted replacement rates. In addition, our vehicle electronics product line net sales decreased due to lower volumes and pricing; |
| Our retail channel net sales decreased $3.3 million, or 3.3%, primarily due to $8.7 million of lower customer pricing across all product lines, partially offset by $4.6 million of volume increases primarily due to new product rollouts in our fuel delivery systems and vehicle electronics product lines and $0.8 million of favorable product mix in our cooling systems product line; and |
| Our heavy-duty channel net sales decreased $1.4 million, or 5.5%, primarily due to lower international sales and lower customer pricing in our filtration product line. |

The decrease in our filtration product line net sales was primarily the result of lower related party sales to FRAM Group, lower OEM/OES channel volumes and lower private label customer pricing. The increase in our cooling systems product line net sales was primarily related to the launch of OEM projects, higher traditional channel volumes and favorable product mix, partially offset by lower retail channel volumes and pricing. The decrease in our vehicle electronics product line net sales was primarily due to lower retail channel customer pricing and timing of replenishment orders in our traditional channel, partially offset by new product rollouts in the retail channel. The increase in our fuel delivery systems product line net sales was primarily the result of improved retail channel volumes from new product rollouts and new traditional channel business, partially offset by lower customer pricing due to increased competition driven by improved OE product quality and other factors that have negatively impacted replacement rates.

Excluding special items, adjusted gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $33.6 million, or 13.4% of net sales, compared to adjusted gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $41.8 million, or 16.6% of net sales.
The lower adjusted gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due to several factors. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, our gross profit was negatively impacted by (i) $11.2 million in lower customer pricing across all product lines, (ii) $1.8 million due to unfavorable product mix driven by our vehicle electronics product line and (iii) $1.6 million from higher depreciation primarily due to investment in our cooling systems product line OEM projects. Partially offsetting these factors were (i) $5.6 million of costs associated with the rollout of OEM projects in our cooling systems product line that did not reoccur in the 2014 period and (ii) $0.9 million in improved material and plant and distribution operations costs driven by cost savings initiatives including manufacturing parts in our vehicle electronics and fuel delivery systems product lines that were previously purchased, as well as procurement savings initiatives.

Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $14.4 million compared to $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The $4.0 million decrease was primarily the result of improved organizational expense leverage including reductions in employee wages and benefits, professional fees and office-related costs. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses were 5.7% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 7.3% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

In December 2013, we approved and announced a plan to close one of our U.S. filtration facilities and transfer the manufacturing capacity, along with associated equipment, to one of our existing U.S. facilities and another facility operated by FRAM Group. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred $5.3 million of equipment relocation and facility closing costs in connection with this closure, recorded an additional equipment impairment loss of $0.3 million and recorded a gain on sale of equipment of $0.1 million.
Beginning in 2013, we initiated a manufacturing footprint optimization plan for our fuel delivery systems product line. During the
15
three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred $0.1 million of costs associated with asset relocation and installation, $0.1 million of manufacturing footprint optimization execution costs and $0.1 million for employee retention costs associated with the manufacturing footprint optimization.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded severance costs of $0.6 million related to involuntary terminations of employees as part of cost reduction actions and business realignment within our filtration, vehicle electronics and fuel delivery systems product lines in the U.S., and the closure of the filtration manufacturing operations of one of our Chinese subsidiaries. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred professional costs of $0.2 million associated with the review of the manufacturing footprint of our fuel delivery systems product line.
For further discussion of our restructuring activities see Note 2 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $2.1 million and $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease of $11.6 million was primarily the result of unrealized foreign exchange gains of $11.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 arising from a $100.0 million intercompany loan that was established in December 2013 with one of our U.S. subsidiaries. For further discussion of the accounting treatment of the foreign currency impact on the intercompany loan see Note 8 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Interest expense on the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and the Senior Notes was $4.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively, for both the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Miscellaneous, net. Miscellaneous, net for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 included $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of costs associated with the sale of receivables, net of gains of $0.1 million for the forgiveness of debt in both periods. In addition, miscellaneous, net for the three months ended September 30, 2014 included $0.9 million of professional fees related to the strategic review of our business. The higher costs associated with the sale of receivables was due to an increase in the amount of receivables sold.
Income tax benefit (expense). We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.8 million, or a negative 44.4% effective tax rate, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, on pre-tax income of $1.8 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to provision of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings of our Spanish subsidiary, valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets and withholding taxes on dividend distributions from our Spanish subsidiary, partially offset by non-U.S. tax rate differences and state income taxes.
We recorded income tax expense of $0.5 million, or a negative 38.5% effective tax rate, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, on a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to provision of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings of our Spanish subsidiary, withholding taxes on a dividend distribution from our Spanish subsidiary and income tax expense associated with reversal of the permanent manufacturing deduction, offset in part by provision to return adjustments, state income taxes, and research and development credits.

Net sales. Net sales of $754.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $4.1 million, or 0.5%, compared to net sales of $750.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our third party net sales increased $19.7 million, or 2.8%, as follows:
| Our OEM/OES channel net sales increased $39.3 million, or 24.2%, primarily due to OEM projects in our cooling systems product line, which were launched during the first half of 2013; |
| Our retail channel net sales decreased $11.7 million, or 3.9%, primarily due to $26.0 million of lower customer pricing across all product lines including new customer acquisition costs, partially offset by volume increases of $11.8 million driven primarily by higher new product rollouts in our vehicle electronics and fuel delivery systems products lines and $2.5 million of favorable product mix in our cooling systems product line; |
| Our heavy-duty channel net sales decreased $5.6 million, or 7.3%, primarily due to lower domestic and international sales and lower customer pricing in our filtration product line; and |
| Our traditional channel net sales decreased $1.8 million, or 1.2%, primarily due to lower pricing from increased competition affecting our fuel delivery systems product line driven by improved OE product quality and other factors that have negatively impacted replacement rates and lower replenishment orders and higher product warranty costs in our vehicle electronics product line, partially offset by volumes from new customers in our cooling and fuel delivery systems product lines. |
In addition, our related party net sales decreased $15.6 million primarily due to lower retail channel sales in FRAM Groups filtration product line and an increase in FRAM Groups internally-sourced filtration products as a result of our ongoing filtration manufacturing footprint optimization project.

The decrease in our filtration product line net sales was primarily the result of lower related party sales to FRAM Group, overall market weakness in the maintenance category of the retail, heavy-duty and OEM/OES channels and lower private label customer pricing. The increase in our cooling systems product line net sales was primarily related to the launch of OEM projects, a new traditional channel customer and favorable retail channel product mix, partially offset by lower retail channel pricing. The increase in our vehicle electronics product line net sales was primarily due to new product rollouts in the retail channel, partially offset by lower retail and traditional channel customer pricing and lower traditional channel replenishment orders. The decrease in our fuel delivery systems product line net sales was primarily the result of lower customer pricing due to increased competition driven by improved OE product quality and other factors that have negatively impacted replacement rates and costs to acquire new business, partially offset by new product rollouts in the retail channel and a new traditional channel customer.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a trademark impairment loss of $38.0 million related to the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of our fuel delivery systems product line. The impairment was triggered by forecasted lower branded sales. The lower branded sales reflect the phased-in reduction in sales from a customer that has decided to change suppliers and a change by another customer from our branded to private label products, partially offset by incremental volume from new and existing customers. See further discussion in Note 5 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $35.9 million and $37.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease of $1.9 million was primarily the result of unrealized foreign exchange gains of $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 arising from a $100.0 million intercompany loan that was established in December 2013 with one of our U.S. subsidiaries and interest income of $2.9 million recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily for value-added tax refunds received by one of our Mexican subsidiaries. For further discussion of the accounting treatment of the foreign currency impact on the intercompany loan see Note 8 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Interest expense on the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility was $12.1 million and $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $25.9 million in both periods on the Senior Notes.
Miscellaneous, net. Miscellaneous, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 included $4.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for costs associated with the sale of receivables, net of gains of $0.1 million for the forgiveness of debt in both periods. Miscellaneous, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included $0.9 million of professional fees related to the strategic review our business. In addition, Miscellaneous, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included income of $1.9 million related to the collection of duty and value-added tax refunds associated with equipment purchased at one of our wholly-owned Chinese subsidiaries. The higher costs associated with the sale of receivables in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was due to an increase in the amount of receivables sold.
Income tax benefit. We recorded an income tax benefit of $19.5 million, or a 35.5% effective tax rate, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, on a pre-tax loss of $55.0 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to non-U.S. tax rate differences, state income taxes and an adjustment from the resolution of transfer price assessments
20
at one of our Chinese subsidiaries between the U.S. and Chinese tax authorities, partially offset by provision of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings of our Spanish subsidiary, valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets and withholding taxes on dividend distributions from our Spanish subsidiary.
We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million, or a negative 2.0% effective tax rate, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pre-tax loss of $5.1 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to provision of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings of our Spanish subsidiary and withholding taxes on dividend distributions from our Spanish subsidiary, partially offset by research and development credits, foreign tax rate differences, state income taxes and provision to return adjustments.
Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, a measure used by our strategic owner to measure operating performance, is defined as net income (loss) for the period plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment and amortization expense of identifiable intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA presented herein is also a financial measure used by our strategic owner to measure operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted to exclude items of a significant or unusual nature that cannot be attributed to ordinary business activities, such as business optimization costs, restructuring costs and costs related to implementation of cost sharing arrangements with FRAM Group. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations in accordance with GAAP, or measures of our financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating profit or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow, as they do not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, working capital needs, tax payments and capital expenditures. We believe that the inclusion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this quarterly report is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance and to provide a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. Additionally, we believe that issuers of high yield debt securities also present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider these measures useful. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to determine our compliance with certain covenants, including the fixed charge coverage ratio used for purposes of debt incurrence under the indenture governing the Senior Notes and certain other agreements governing our indebtedness. Because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA identically, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Covenant Compliance
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities require us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum senior secured leverage ratio and set a maximum level of capital expenditures. The financial ratios are calculated on a trailing four consecutive quarters basis and capital expenditures are measured on a fiscal year basis. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Cash Flows
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $36.4 million. Profits, before deducting depreciation and amortization, trademark impairment loss and other non-cash items, generated cash of $18.7 million.
We used cash of $37.4 million for operating working capital. Operating working capital is defined as accounts receivable, inventories, related party receivables, net and accounts payable. Related party receivables, net consist primarily of trade amounts receivable from FRAM Group for filtration products we sell in the normal course of business as a result of our manufacturing arrangements and expense recharges. Increases in inventories and related party receivables, net resulted in the use of cash of $31.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The increase in inventories was primarily due to the build of safety-stock inventory associated with ongoing manufacturing footprint optimization activities in our fuel delivery systems and filtration product lines, higher inventory requirements in our cooling systems product line to meet OEM order requirements and timing of shipment of new product roll-out inventory in our vehicle electronics and fuel delivery systems product lines. The increase in the related party receivables, net was primarily from the timing of payments for related party filtration sales to FRAM Group. A decrease in accounts payable resulted in the use of cash of $16.1 million. The decrease in accounts payable was due largely to the timing of payments. A decrease in accounts receivable generated $16.6 million of cash. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to lower volumes in our fuel delivery systems product line and higher levels of factored accounts receivable. Changes in all other assets and liabilities netted to a $17.7 million use of cash. This use of cash related primarily to (i) $8.6 million for the timing interest payments on the Senior Notes,
22
(ii) $5.5 million for employee benefit plan payments in excess of expense, (iii) a $3.0 million increase in our federal tax receivable, (iv) $1.4 million for litigation settlement payments, (v) $1.0 million for customer returned inventory in transit, (vi) $0.9 million for timing of payments for restructuring related activities and (vii) $0.7 million for the timing of payments for insurance and software license and maintenance fees. These items were partially offset by increases of (i) $3.1 million in customer rebates, credits and discounts due to timing of payments and (ii) $0.5 million from the timing of payments including insurance, professional fees, salary and wages, vacation and bonuses.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Capital expenditures of $27.1 million were used primarily for manufacturing footprint optimization initiatives in our filtration and fuel delivery systems product lines, additional capital investment requirements for long life-cycle OEM contracts and cost savings initiatives. In addition, we received $1.5 million from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
We borrowed $20.0 million under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and made our required quarterly payments totaling $2.3 million on the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Net Cash (Used In) Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $0.4 million. Profits, before deducting depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items, generated cash of $30.2 million.
We used cash of $29.2 million for operating working capital. Operating working capital is defined as accounts receivable, inventories, related party receivables, net and accounts payable. Related party receivables, net consist primarily of trade amounts receivable from FRAM Group for filtration products we sell in the normal course of business as a result of our manufacturing arrangements and expense recharges. Increases in accounts receivable and inventories resulted in the use of cash of $19.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to higher net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012 and a decrease in factored accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. The three months ended September 30, 2013 also included a higher percentage of sales to non-factoring customers. The increase in inventories was primarily due to higher inventory requirements in our cooling systems product line to meet OEM order requirements and build of inventory for new product roll-out in our vehicle electronics business. An increase in the related party receivables, net, primarily from the related party filtration sales to FRAM Group and the timing of payments, partially offset by the collection of expense recharges, resulted in a use of cash of $8.8 million. An increase in accounts payable generated cash of $6.5 million. The increase in accounts payable was due largely to the increase in inventories in our vehicle electronics and cooling systems product lines. Changes in all other assets and liabilities netted to a $1.4 million use of cash. This use of cash related primarily to (i) $8.7 million for the timing of interest payments on the Senior Notes, (ii) $2.2 million for pension contributions in excess of pension expense, (iii) $1.4 million for payments for insurance premiums, maintenance, software license fees and other prepaid expenses and (iv) $1.1 million for professional fee payments. These items were partially offset by an increase of (i) $5.7 million in customer rebates and credits due to timing of payments, (ii) a $4.2 million decrease in our federal tax receivable based upon finalization of tax returns and (iii) $2.2 million for the collection of Mexican value-added tax receivables.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Capital expenditures of $25.3 million were used primarily for construction of a new building at our Fond du Lac, Wisconsin facility and cost savings initiatives.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
We made debt repayments totaling $2.3 million on the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, which included a required excess cash flow prepayment of $1.4 million. The excess cash flow payment was applied to the scheduled quarterly amortization payments due March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.
23
Debt Capitalization
At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $31.8 million and $76.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Non-U.S. cash balances at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $11.2 million and $16.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Spanish subsidiary and one of our Mexican subsidiaries distributed cash dividends of $7.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, to their U.S. parent companies.
The following table details our debt outstanding as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in millions):

Our significant debt service obligation is an important factor when assessing our liquidity and capital resources. At September 30, 2014, given our debt level and borrowing rates, annual interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount, is $56.1 million. The interest rate on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities is subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.5%. An increase of 0.25 percentage points (25 basis points) over the Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.5% on our variable interest rate debt would increase our annual interest cost by $0.8 million. A decrease in the variable interest rate would have no impact due to the Adjusted LIBO Rate floor. The one month unadjusted LIBO Rate at September 30, 2014 was 0.154%.

Managements Action Plan and Outlook
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flow from operations, available borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and accounts receivable factoring arrangements.
Accounts Receivable Factoring
Factoring of customer trade accounts receivable is a significant part of our liquidity. Subject to certain limitations, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities permit sales of and liens on receivables, which are being sold pursuant to factoring arrangements. At September 30, 2014, we had factoring relationships arranged by seven customers with eight banks. The terms of these relationships are such that the banks are not obligated to factor any amount of receivables. Because of the increase in our utilization of customer factoring programs due to customers negotiating increased payment terms with us, it is possible that these banks may not have the capacity or willingness to fund these factoring arrangements at the levels they have in the past, or at all. If we were not able to factor accounts receivable, we would have to find other ways to finance these receivables or our liquidity would be reduced by having less cash on hand.
24
We sold $330.9 million and $270.5 million of receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If receivables had not been factored, $308.4 million and $261.1 million of additional receivables would have been outstanding at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. If we had not factored these receivables, we would have had to finance these receivables in some other way or our liquidity would be reduced by having less cash on hand.
Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity Outlook
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, UCI International, Inc., is a holding company with no business operations or assets other than the capital stock of UCI. Consequently, UCI International, Inc. is dependent on loans, dividends and other payments from UCI and its subsidiaries to make payments of principal and interest in cash on the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. As presently structured, UCI and its subsidiaries are the sole source of cash for the payment of cash interest and principal on the Senior Notes and Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and there is no assurance that the cash for those interest and principal payments will be available. In the future, we may also need to refinance all or a portion of the borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on or prior to maturity. If refinancing is necessary, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.
Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal or interest on, or to refinance, our indebtedness or to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other current obligations will depend on our ability to generate cash from operations and from factoring arrangements discussed above. Such cash generation is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.
Capital expenditures for 2014 are expected to be approximately $38 million including equipment and tooling requirements to accelerate the internal manufacture of high volume parts that are currently being purchased, expenditures related to our OEM contracts and ongoing manufacturing footprint optimization projects. The remaining forecasted capital expenditures primarily represent cost reduction projects and ongoing capital maintenance.
Based on our forecasts, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to service debt, meet liquidity needs and fund necessary capital expenditures for the next twelve months.
Cost Sharing and Manufacturing Arrangements with FRAM Group
Autoparts Holdings, an affiliate of Rank Group and ultimately owned by our strategic owner, Mr. Graeme Hart, owns FRAM Group. Although Holdings and Autoparts Holdings are separate legal entities, both are under the common control of Mr. Hart. In addition, our business and FRAM Group are operated by a common senior management team.
Our and FRAM Groups businesses each include filtration products. As a result, opportunities exist to realize cost savings and operational efficiencies between the two filtration businesses as well as to consolidate a number of administrative functions to reduce the costs of the respective companies. Extensive analysis was conducted to identify initial integration opportunities and additional analysis continues to identify potential further integration opportunities. Actions taken to date have resulted in cost savings benefiting both us and FRAM Group. However, we may not be able to achieve the total anticipated cost savings or purchasing benefits in connection with the cost sharing and manufacturing arrangements with FRAM Group. Such activities inherently involve risks, including those associated with assimilating different business operations, corporate cultures, personnel, infrastructure and technologies or products and increasing the scope, geographic diversity and complexity of our operations. There may be additional costs or liabilities that are not currently anticipated, including unexpected loss of key employees or customers and hiring additional management and other critical personnel. These activities may also be disruptive to our ongoing business and not be successfully perceived by our customers. We cannot be assured we will be successful in these actions or that the two businesses will perform as anticipated.
As a result of our cost sharing and manufacturing arrangements with FRAM Group, certain FRAM Group production was relocated to our filtration manufacturing locations. We and FRAM Group continue to maintain our own customer relationships and continue to supply our own existing customers. Where FRAM Group production has been relocated to our filtration manufacturing
25
locations, we manufacture and supply product to FRAM Group in order to meet its customer orders. Where our production has been relocated to FRAM Groups filtration manufacturing locations, FRAM Group manufactures and supplies product to us in order to meet our customer orders. Product purchase orders are entered into by us and FRAM Group on an arms-length basis to document the terms of the sale of product between the two related businesses. Based on current forecasts, we expect to produce approximately 31 million units for FRAM Group in 2014 and FRAM Group is expected to produce approximately 4 million units for us.
Joint Services Agreement
We entered into a Joint Services Agreement (the JSA) with Autoparts Holdings. Under the JSA, we and Autoparts Holdings both agreed to purchase certain administrative services from the other party. The JSA had an initial term of one year that is automatically renewed for additional one-year periods unless either party gives written notice to the other party of non-renewal no later than ninety days prior to the end of the initial term or renewal term, as applicable. The JSA may be terminated without cause by either party upon 120 days advance written notice to the other party. The JSA may also be terminated for breach or termination of affiliation. The JSA contains representations, warranties and indemnity obligations customary for agreements of this type. At each anniversary to date, the JSA has automatically renewed for additional one-year periods.
Treasury Policy
Our treasury policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of our businesses while managing our currency and interest rate risks. Our policy is to not engage in speculative transactions. Our policies with respect to the major areas of our treasury activity are set forth in Managements Action Plan and Outlook above.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not enter into off balance sheet arrangements other than letters of credit and operating leases in the normal course of business.
Disclosure under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act
We are disclosing the following information pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. SIG Combibloc Group AG (SIG) is an indirect subsidiary of Reynolds Group Holdings Limited, the sole indirect owner of which is Mr. Graeme Hart, and thereby an affiliate of Holdings for purposes of this disclosure. SIG has provided us with the following information:
SIG owns 50% of SIG Combibloc Obeikan Company Limited, a Saudi Arabian joint venture (SIG Obeikan). A minor portion of SIG Obeikans business includes selling carton sleeves to Iran Dairy Industries Co. Pegah Product Dairy Production (IDIC), which are used for packaging milk and other dairy products. IDIC is, to SIGs knowledge, majority-owned by a pension fund for certain civil servants in Iran and therefore may be indirectly controlled by the government of Iran. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, SIG Obeikans gross sales to IDIC were approximately 1.1 million and 2.9 million, respectively, and its net profit from such sales was approximately 0.2 million and 0.8 million, respectively. SIG Obeikan intends to continue this activity.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in interest rates.
Foreign Currency Exposure
Currency Translation
As a result of international operating activities, we are exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates, principally exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, Mexican peso, British pound and Chinese yuan. The results of operations of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for each relevant period, except for our Chinese subsidiaries, where cost of sales is translated primarily at historical exchange rates. This translation has no impact on our cash flow. However, as foreign exchange rates change, there are changes to the U.S. dollar equivalent of sales and expenses denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar. In 2013, approximately 9% of our net sales were made by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, and our total non-U.S. net sales represented approximately 18% of our total net sales.
The following table summarizes the potential impact on sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 of a 10% change in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to the foreign currencies of our non-U.S. subsidiaries (in millions):
2013 Sales | Potential Impact | |||||||
Euro |
$ | 47.2 | $ | 4.7 | ||||
Mexican peso |
21.6 | $ | 2.2 | |||||
British pound |
14.4 | $ | 1.4 | |||||
Chinese yuan |
6.6 | $ | 0.7 |
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of sales expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. In particular, our sales denominated in Mexican peso could be significantly impacted by implemented restructuring activities.
Except for the Chinese subsidiaries, the balance sheets of non-U.S. subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rates as of the relevant balance sheet date. Any adjustments resulting from the remeasurement are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our balance sheets. For our Chinese subsidiaries, non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate as of the relevant balance sheet date. Adjustments resulting from the remeasurement of the balance sheets of our Chinese subsidiaries are recorded in our statements of comprehensive income (loss).
The following table summarizes the potential impact on net asset values of a 10% change in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to the foreign currencies of our non-U.S. subsidiaries (in millions):
September 30, 2014 Net Asset Value |
Potential Impact | |||||||
Euro |
$ | 27.1 | $ | 2.7 | ||||
Mexican peso |
$ | 11.8 | $ | 1.2 | ||||
British pound |
$ | 0.3 | $ | |
Currency Transactions
Currency transaction exposure arises when sales and purchases are made by a company in a currency other than its own functional currency. In 2014, we expect to source approximately $113 million of components from China. To the extent possible, we structure arrangements where the purchase transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars as a means to minimize near-term exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. If we are unable to negotiate commensurate price decreases from our Chinese suppliers, these higher prices would eventually translate into higher cost of sales. In that event we would attempt to obtain corresponding price increases from our customers, but there are no assurances that we would be successful. The value of the yuan increased 3.3% during the period January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2014. From January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014, the value of the Chinese yuan decreased 1.6%.
27
Prior to 2012, our Mexican operations sourced a significant amount of inventory from the United States. In 2012, we initiated, and during 2013 we completed, a restructuring plan affecting our Mexican operations, which has resulted in a reduction in the amount of U.S.-sourced inventory purchased by our Mexican operations, thereby reducing our currency exposure risk related to these inventory purchases. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso means that our Mexican operations pay more pesos to obtain inventory from the United States. Conversely, a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso means that our Mexican operations pay fewer pesos to obtain inventory from the United States. Between December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the Mexican peso strengthened 3.1% in relation to the U.S. dollar.
In December 2013, we established a $100.0 million, U.S. dollar-denominated, intercompany loan with one of our subsidiaries. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the New Zealand dollar means that the equivalent value of the intercompany receivable in New Zealand dollars will increase. Conversely, a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the New Zealand dollar means that the equivalent value of the intercompany receivable in New Zealand dollars will decrease. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the value of the New Zealand dollar against the U.S. dollar decreased 10.9% and we recognized non-cash unrealized foreign exchange gains of $5.4 million, which are included in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in interest expense, net. A 10% change in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to the New Zealand dollar would result in an $12.8 million potential impact from unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses. For further discussion of the accounting treatment of the foreign currency impact on the intercompany loan see Note 8 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
We will continue to monitor our transaction exposure to currency rate changes and in the future may enter into currency forward and option contracts to reduce this exposure, as appropriate. As of September 30, 2014, we had no foreign currency contracts outstanding. We do not engage in speculative activities.
Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2014 debt levels and borrowing rates, annual interest expense including amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount would be $56.1 million. The interest rate on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities is subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.5%. If variable interest rates were to increase by 0.25% per annum over the Adjusted LIBO Rate floor, the net impact would be a decrease of approximately $0.5 million in our net income and cash flow. A decrease in the variable interest rate would have no impact due to the Adjusted LIBO Rate floor. The one-month unadjusted LIBO Rate at September 30, 2014 was 0.154%.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods. We, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, and we and such officers have concluded that such controls and procedures were adequate and effective as of September 30, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the period ended September 30, 2014, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Antitrust Litigation
Starting in 2008, UCI and Champion Laboratories, Inc. (Champion) were named as defendants in numerous antitrust complaints originally filed in courts around the country. The complaints alleged that several defendant filter manufacturers engaged in price fixing for aftermarket automotive filters in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act and/or state law (collectively, the U.S. Actions). Some of these complaints were putative class actions on behalf of all persons that purchased aftermarket filters in the U.S. directly from the defendants, from 1999 to March 8, 2012. Others were putative class actions on behalf of all persons who acquired indirectly aftermarket filters manufactured and/or distributed by one or more of the defendants, from 1999 to March 8, 2012. The complaints sought treble damages, an injunction against future violations, costs and attorneys fees. Also in 2008, Champion, but not UCI, was named as a defendant in two separate complaints in Ontario and Quebec (the Ontario Action and the Quebec Action, respectively, and, collectively, the Canadian Actions). The complaints included allegations similar to those in the U.S. Actions, and were brought as putative class actions on behalf of all persons in Canada that purchased aftermarket filters directly or indirectly from the defendants.
U.S. Actions
On February 9, 2012, the parties announced that Champion and two other defendants had reached an agreement in principle with all plaintiffs to settle the U.S. Actions. During 2012, the settlement agreement was executed, approved by the court and finalized.
Canadian Actions
In 2008, Champion, but not UCI, was named as one of five defendants in the Quebec Action and as one of 14 defendants in the Ontario Action. The Quebec Action alleges conspiracy violations under the Canadian Competition Act and violations of the obligation to act in good faith related to the sale of aftermarket filters. The Ontario Action alleges civil conspiracy, intentional interference with economic interests, and conspiracy violations under the Canadian Competition Act related to the sale of aftermarket filters.
On September 12, 2013, all defendants executed a settlement agreement with all plaintiffs in the Canadian Actions. The Ontario Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement with respect to the Ontario Action on October 3, 2013, which was recorded and paid by Champion to a trust account for the benefit of the settlement class members in the Canadian Actions during the year ended December 31, 2013. The settlement of the Ontario Action was approved by the court in January 2014. The settlement of the Quebec Action was approved by the court in April 2014.
During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred post-trial costs of less than $0.1 million related to the Canadian Actions. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $0.1 million associated with the Canadian Actions settlement and incurred post-trial costs of $0.1 million related to the Canadian Actions. These amounts are included in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in selling, general and administrative.
Patent Litigation
Champion was named as a defendant in a complaint filed by Hengst of North America, Inc. (Hengst), on August 23, 2013 in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Columbia Division, pursuant to which Hengst claims that certain of Champions products infringe on a Hengst patent. On February 14, 2014, Champion and Hengst reached a settlement of this litigation. The settlement includes the payment of $2.2 million by Champion to Hengst, a license from Hengst to Champion of certain intellectual property in exchange for royalty payments, $0.8 million in rebates granted to Champion for future purchases by Champion of Hengst products and the dismissal with prejudice of this case. As of December 31, 2013, Champion had accrued $2.2 million for the settlement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Champion made scheduled payments of $1.4 million. The remainder of the payments will be $0.2 million to be made on or before July 1 of each year 2015 through 2018.
29
Product Recall
In January 2014, we were notified by one of our customers that the customer was recalling certain defective parts manufactured by one of our U.S. subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2014, we had reserves of $0.6 million for the estimated costs of the recall in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, which were recorded as of December 31, 2013. The estimate included costs of replacement parts and labor and other costs associated with the recall. As of September 30, 2014, there have been no claims against Holdings related to this recall.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recalled certain defective products manufactured by our Chinese operations and distributed by our Spanish subsidiary. As of September 30, 2014, we had paid $1.0 million (0.8 million) of costs related to this matter and a remaining accrual of $0.1 million (0.1 million) is recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. We believe that we have insurance coverage for a significant percentage of the costs related to this matter. As of September 30, 2014, we had filed claims totaling $0.9 million (0.7 million) with our insurance carrier and received reimbursement for claims and product recall costs totaling $0.9 million (0.7 million), including $0.2 million (0.2 million) received during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, under our insurance coverage, which was recorded as a reduction in warranty expenses. No additional provisions for the matter were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Other Litigation
We are subject to various other contingencies, including routine legal proceedings and claims arising out of the normal course of business. These proceedings primarily involve commercial claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims and workers compensation claims. The outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty. Nevertheless, we believe that the outcome of any of these currently existing proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 3. Key Information Risk Factors in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 20-F, as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2014.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Not applicable.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UNDER SENIOR SECURITIES
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
In August 2014, our shareholder has advised that it is undertaking a strategic review of its ownership of our business, as part of a broader strategic review of the commonly-owned automotive aftermarkets businesses (which includes businesses operated by Autoparts Holdings).
The strategic review may result in a decision to sell some or all of those businesses, although no decision has been made at this time to do so.

NOTE 1 GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
UCI Holdings Limited (Holdings), an entity domiciled in New Zealand, was incorporated on November 26, 2010 for the purpose of consummating the acquisition of UCI International, Inc., (together with its subsidiaries, UCI International). All operations of Holdings are conducted by United Components, Inc. (UCI) through its subsidiaries, which is a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of a broad range of filtration products, fuel delivery and cooling systems products and vehicle electronics products. UCI manufactures and distributes vehicle parts, primarily servicing the vehicle replacement parts market in North America and Europe.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete financial statements.
The financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for such periods.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions include estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable and the realizability of inventory, goodwill and other intangible assets. They also include estimates of cost accruals, environmental liabilities, warranty and other product returns, insurance reserves, income taxes, pensions and other post-retirement benefits and other factors. Management has exercised reasonableness in deriving these estimates; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Holdings 2013 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2014.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
Comparatives
Certain comparative balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been reclassified to conform to the current method of presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
On January 1, 2014, Holdings adopted the amendments to guidance issued by the FASB on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments require entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit netted against certain deferred tax assets when specific requirements are met. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of Holdings.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In August 2014, the FASB issued amendments that provide guidance on disclosure of uncertainties about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern. Under the new guidance, management will be required to evaluate at every interim and annual reporting period whether conditions or events exist that raise substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. In addition, certain disclosure in the financial statements will be required when substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern exists. These amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements of Holdings.
In May 2014, the FASB issued amendments that are a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that require entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These amendments create common revenue recognition guidance between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. These amendments are effective retrospectively for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. Holdings is currently evaluating the new standard.
In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in a companys operations and financial results should be reported as discontinued operations, with expanded disclosures. In addition, the new guidance requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify as a discontinued operation. These amendments are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups held for sale after the effective date. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements of Holdings.
NOTE 2 RESTRUCTURING COSTS, NET
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, Holdings incurred costs related to various cost reduction activities which are reported in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in restructuring costs, net.

Holdings recorded impairment charges of $1.8 million to write down land, building and equipment to estimated net realizable value in the fourth quarter of 2013. As of September 30, 2014, all equipment that was scheduled to be transferred to other facilities had been relocated and the remaining assets of $1.4 million, including land, building and equipment, were classified as assets held for sale on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Holdings recorded: (i) severance of $0.7 million related to involuntary terminations of employees as part of cost reduction actions and business realignment, (ii) manufacturing footprint optimization costs of $0.5 million related to its filtration product line, (iii) residual closing costs of $0.1 million related to the closure of a China facility in 2013 and (iv) a gain on sale of equipment of $0.1 million associated with its now closed Mexican foundry operations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Holdings incurred professional costs of $0.2 million associated with the review of the manufacturing footprint for its fuel delivery systems product line. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Holdings recorded $0.1 million for lease termination and asset retirement obligation costs associated with distribution footprint optimization of the filtration product line.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Holdings approved, announced and completed a plan to close the manufacturing operations of one of its Chinese subsidiaries and relocate the manufacturing into one of its existing U.S. facilities. The plan included workforce reductions, facility closures and operations consolidation. The plan impacted 61 employees in China, all of which were terminated as of September 30, 2013.

NOTE 3 SALES OF RECEIVABLES
Holdings has factoring agreements arranged by seven customers with eight banks. Under these agreements, Holdings has the ability to sell undivided interests in certain of its receivables to the banks which in turn have the right to sell an undivided interest to a financial institution or other third party. Holdings enters into these relationships at its discretion as part of its overall customer agreements and cash management activities. Pursuant to these agreements, $113.6 million and $93.1 million of receivables were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $330.9 million and $270.5 million of receivables were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
If receivables had not been factored, $308.4 million and $261.1 million of additional receivables would have been outstanding at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Holdings retained no rights or interests in the receivables, and has no obligations with respect to the sold receivables. Holdings does not service the receivables after the sales.
The sales of receivables were accounted for as a sale and were removed from the balance sheet at the time of the sales. The costs of the sales were discounts deducted by the factoring companies and accounted for as a loss on sale. These costs were $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $4.7 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These costs are recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in miscellaneous, net.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Holdings recorded a trademark impairment loss of $38.0 million related to the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of its fuel delivery systems product line. A decision by a customer to change suppliers and a change by another customer from branded to private label products triggered the need to test the carrying value of this indefinite-lived intangible asset. A discounted cash flow calculation was performed reflecting the revised forecasted net sales information. This identified that the estimated recoverable amount was less than the carrying value. The impairment is recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in trademark impairment loss.
The aggregate intangible amortization expense recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) was $6.1 million and $18.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $6.1 million and $18.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

NOTE 7 PRODUCT RETURNS LIABILITY
The product return liability is comprised of estimated accruals for parts to be returned under warranty and for parts to be returned because of customer excess quantities. Holdings provides warranties for its products performance. Warranty periods vary by part. In addition to returns under warranty, Holdings allows its customers to return quantities of parts that the customer determines to be in excess of its current needs. Customer rights to return excess quantities vary by customer and by product category. Generally, these returns are contractually limited to 3% to 5% of the customers purchases in the preceding year. While Holdings does not have a contractual obligation to accept excess quantity returns from all customers, common practice for Holdings and the industry is to accept periodic returns of excess quantities from ongoing customers. If a customer elects to cease purchasing from Holdings and change to another vendor, it is industry practice for the new vendor, and not Holdings, to accept any inventory returns resulting from the vendor change and any subsequent inventory returns. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, product returns reserves of $1.8 million related to current customers were reduced due to contractual changes, increasing third party and total net sales in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Changes in Holdings product returns accrual were as follows (in millions):

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On January 26, 2011, Holdings, as a guarantor, and UCI International, Inc., as borrower, entered into a $375.0 million senior secured credit facilities agreement (the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) comprised of a $300.0 million senior secured term loan facility due July 26, 2017 (the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility) and a $75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility due January 26, 2016 (the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility). At September 30, 2014, letters of credit issued under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility totaled $6.5 million and outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility were $20.0 million, which reduced the availability under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to $48.5 million. At December 31, 2013, letters of credit issued under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility totaled $7.3 million, which reduced the availability under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to $67.7 million. At December 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary covenants that restrict Holdings and its subsidiaries from certain activities including, among other things, incurring debt, creating liens over assets, selling or acquiring assets and making restricted payments, in each case except as permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Holdings and its subsidiaries also must comply with a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio covenant and with annual limitations on capital expenditures. In addition, there is an annual excess cash flow prepayment provision. Holdings is required to make mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) if the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.0 to 1.0, or 25% of Excess Cash Flow if the senior secured leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0. Holdings was not required to make a prepayment based upon the excess cash flow calculation for the year ended December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Holdings and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all applicable covenants.
Senior Notes
On January 26, 2011, UCI International, Inc. issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the Senior Notes). The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.625% per annum, and interest is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants that restrict the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue disqualified and preferred stock, make certain payments including payment of dividends or redemption of stock, make certain investments, incur certain liens, sell assets, merge or consolidate with other entities, and enter into transactions with affiliates. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Holdings and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Economic Development Loan
On September 17, 2012, Wells Manufacturing, L.P. (Wells), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Holdings, entered into an economic development loan for $0.5 million with the Fond du Lac County Economic Development Corp. to assist with the expansion of the vehicle electronics facility in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. This economic development loan has a five-year maturity with annual principal payments of $0.1 million and bears interest at 2.0% per annum. Both principal and interest payments are due annually on October 1, commencing October 1, 2013. The economic development loan contains a provision that in the event the vehicle electronics business meets and maintains certain employee headcount and wage requirements, measured on an annual basis, all or a portion of the principal and interest due will be forgiven. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, Wells met the requirements set forth above for both the first and second annual principal and interest payments and received debt forgiveness in the amount of $0.1 million each for the payments due October 1, 2014 and 2013. The debt forgiveness is recorded as a gain in miscellaneous, net in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

UCI Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2013, Holdings established a $100.0 million, U.S. dollar-denominated, intercompany loan with one of its U.S. subsidiaries. The non-cash unrealized foreign exchange gains arose from a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the New Zealand dollar. The intercompany loan is eliminated upon consolidation, but in accordance with GAAP the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations is recorded in interest expense, net in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, one of Holdings Mexican subsidiaries received refund payments related to value-added tax receivables. The refunds received included $2.8 million of interest income which is recorded in interest expense, net in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

NOTE 10 CONTINGENCIES
Insurance Reserves
Holdings purchases insurance policies for workers compensation, automobile and product and general liability. These policies include high deductibles for which Holdings is responsible. These deductibles are estimated and recorded as expenses in the period incurred. Estimates of these expenses are updated each quarter and are adjusted accordingly. These estimates are subject to substantial uncertainty because of several factors that are difficult to predict, including actual claims experience, regulatory changes, litigation trends and changes in inflation. Estimated unpaid losses for which Holdings is responsible are included in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Holdings self-insured insurance reserves, including group medical insurance reserves, were $7.3 million and $7.9 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Environmental
Holdings is subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air or water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances or wastes, and the cleanup of contaminated sites. UCI International or its predecessors have been identified as a potentially responsible party, or is otherwise currently responsible, for contamination at five sites, including a former facility in Edison, New Jersey (the New Jersey Site), and at a previously owned site in Solano County, California (the California Site). Both sites involve the investigation of chlorinated solvent contamination. Based on currently available information, management believes that the cost of the ultimate outcome of the environmental matters related to the New Jersey Site and the California Site will not exceed the $1.0 million accrued at September 30, 2014 by a material amount, if at all. However, because all investigation and analysis has not yet been completed and due to inherent uncertainty in such environmental matters, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for a single quarter.
In addition to the two matters discussed above, UCI International or its predecessors have been named as a potentially responsible party at a third-party waste disposal site in Calvert City, Kentucky, a former manufacturing site and at an EPA Superfund site in Mayville, Wisconsin. On April 15, 2014, Holdings reached a settlement agreement for the Mayville, Wisconsin site for less than $0.1 million which was paid on April 16, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, UCI International had reserves of $0.1 million for settlement and remediation costs of the Calvert City, Kentucky and the former manufacturing site, the majority of which is anticipated to be spent in the next year.
As of September 30, 2014, environmental liability accruals of $0.5 million and $0.6 million are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2013, environmental liability accruals of $1.0 million and $0.5 million are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Antitrust Litigation
Starting in 2008, UCI and Champion Laboratories, Inc. (Champion) were named as defendants in class actions on behalf of all persons that purchased aftermarket filters in the U.S. directly from the defendants, from 1999 to March 8, 2012. Others actions were putative class actions on behalf of all persons who acquired indirectly aftermarket filters manufactured and/or distributed by one or more of the defendants, from 1999 to March 8, 2012. The complaints (collectively, the U.S. Actions) sought treble damages, an injunction against future violations, costs and attorneys fees. Also in 2008, Champion, but not UCI, was named as a defendant in two separate complaints in Ontario and Quebec (the Ontario Action and the Quebec Action, respectively, and, collectively, the Canadian Actions). The complaints included allegations similar to those in the U.S. Actions, and were brought as putative class actions on behalf of all persons in Canada that purchased aftermarket filters directly or indirectly from the defendants.
U.S. Actions
On February 9, 2012, the parties announced that Champion and two other defendants had reached an agreement in principle with all plaintiffs to settle the U.S. Actions. During 2012, the settlement agreement was executed, approved by the court, paid and finalized.
Canadian Actions
In 2008, Champion, but not UCI, was named as one of five defendants in the Quebec Action and as one of 14 defendants in the Ontario Action. The Quebec Action alleges conspiracy violations under the Canadian Competition Act and violations of the obligation to act in good faith related to the sale of aftermarket filters. The Ontario Action alleges civil conspiracy, intentional interference with economic interests, and conspiracy violations under the Canadian Competition Act related to the sale of aftermarket filters.
On September 12, 2013, all defendants executed a settlement agreement with all plaintiffs in the Canadian Actions. The Ontario Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement with respect to the Ontario Action on October 3, 2013, which was recorded and
F-15
UCI Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
paid by Champion to a trust account for the benefit of the settlement class members in the Canadian Actions during the year ended December 31, 2013. The settlement of the Ontario Action was approved by the court in January 2014. The settlement of the Quebec Action was approved by the court in April 2014.
During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, Holdings incurred post-trial costs of less than $0.1 million related to the Canadian Actions. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Holdings recorded $0.1 million associated with the Canadian Actions settlement and incurred post-trial costs of $0.1 million related to the Canadian Actions. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Patent Litigation
Champion was named as a defendant in a complaint filed by Hengst of North America, Inc. (Hengst), on August 23, 2013 in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Columbia Division, pursuant to which Hengst claims that certain of Champions products infringe on a Hengst patent. On February 14, 2014, Champion and Hengst reached a settlement of this litigation. The settlement includes the payment of $2.2 million by Champion to Hengst, a license from Hengst to Champion of certain intellectual property in exchange for royalty payments, $0.8 million in rebates granted to Champion for future purchases by Champion of Hengst products and the dismissal with prejudice of this case. As of December 31, 2013, Champion had accrued $2.2 million for the settlement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Champion made scheduled payments of $1.4 million. The remainder of the payments will be $0.2 million to be made on or before July 1 of each year 2015 through 2018.
Product Recall
In January 2014, Holdings was notified by one of its customers that the customer was recalling certain defective parts manufactured by one of Holdings U.S. subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2014, Holdings had reserves of $0.6 million for the estimated costs of the recall in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which were recorded as of December 31, 2013. The estimate included costs of replacement parts and labor and other costs associated with the recall. As of September 30, 2014, there have been no claims against Holdings related to this recall.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, Holdings recalled certain defective products manufactured by its Chinese operations and distributed by its Spanish subsidiary. As of September 30, 2014, Holdings had paid $1.0 million (0.8 million) of costs related to this matter and a remaining accrual of $0.1 million (0.1 million) is recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Holdings believes that it has insurance coverage for a significant percentage of the costs related to this matter. As of September 30, 2014, Holdings has filed claims totaling $0.9 million (0.7 million) with its insurance carrier and received reimbursement for claims and product recall costs totaling $0.9 million (0.7 million), including $0.2 million (0.2 million) received during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, under its insurance coverage, which was recorded as a reduction in warranty expenses. No additional provisions for this matter were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Other Litigation
Holdings is subject to various other contingencies, including routine legal proceedings and claims arising out of the normal course of business. These proceedings primarily involve commercial claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims and workers compensation claims. The outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty. Nevertheless, Holdings believes that the outcome of any of these currently existing proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
The accounting guidance on fair value measurements uses the term inputs to broadly refer to the assumptions used in estimating fair values. It distinguishes between (i) assumptions based on market data obtained from independent third party sources (observable inputs) and (ii) Holdings assumptions based on the best information available (unobservable inputs). The accounting guidance requires that fair value valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy consists of the three broad levels listed below. The highest priority is given to Level 1, and the lowest is given to Level 3.
Level 1 | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |
Level 2 | Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable | |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs developed using Holdings estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use when valuing an asset or liability |
F-18
UCI Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment.
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as part of the filtration manufacturing footprint optimization restructuring discussed in Note 2, certain assets were adjusted to their fair values. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Holdings recorded an impairment loss related to the indefinite-lived intangible of its fuel delivery systems product line. See Note 5 for a more detailed discussion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as part of the manufacturing and distribution footprint optimization restructuring discussed in Note 2, certain assets were adjusted to their fair values.
Commodity price risk management
Exposure to market risk for commodity prices can result in changes in the cost of production. When possible, this risk is mitigated through the use of long-term, fixed-price contracts with suppliers. On January 13, 2014, Holdings entered into a commodity-based derivative financial instrument to acquire 205,800 gallons of diesel fuel ratably during the period February 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015. In addition, on March 19, 2014, April 2, 2014 and July 17, 2014, Holdings entered into commodity-based derivative financial instruments to acquire a total of 205,860 gallons of diesel fuel ratably during the period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. Holdings entered into the contracts to commercially hedge the cost of diesel fuel and did not enter into the contracts for speculative purposes. Holdings elected not to document and account for the contracts as effective hedges for accounting purposes, but rather as financial instruments. The cost of entering into the contracts was nil. Changes in the market values of the fuel hedge contracts are recognized as a component of cost of sales in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the unrealized losses on these contracts were $0.1 million.
Fair value of financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value because the original maturity was less than 90 days.
Trade accounts receivable The carrying amount of trade receivables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.
Trade accounts payable The carrying amount of trade payables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.
Short-term borrowings The carrying amount of these borrowings equals fair value because their interest rates reflect current market rates.
Long-term debt The fair value of the Senior Notes was $390.0 million and $406.0 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value of these notes was based on recent trades, as reported by a third party bond pricing service. Due to the infrequency of trades of these notes, these inputs are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
The fair value of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility was $289.4 million and $291.0 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value of borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility was based on the bid/ask prices, as reported by a third party bond pricing service. Due to the infrequency of trades, this input is considered to be a Level 2 input.
The fair value of the borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility was $20.0 million at September 30, 2014. The fair value of these borrowings equals their carrying value because of their short outstanding terms.
The fair value of the economic development loan was $0.3 million and $0.4 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Since there is no ready market for this type of loan, discounted cash flows were used taking into consideration bond ratings and LIBOR futures. These inputs are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
F-19
UCI Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The estimated fair values of the fuel contracts at September 30, 2014 were less than $0.1 million and the changes in the fair values were recorded as components of cost of sales in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The estimated fair values of the fuel contracts were based on information provided by an independent third party who participates in the trading market for financial instruments similar to the fuel contracts. Due to the infrequency of trades of similar financial instruments, this input is considered to be Level 2 input.

Substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents, including cash balances at non-U.S. subsidiaries, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were uninsured. Holdings non-U.S. subsidiaries had cash balances of $11.2 million and $16.2 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Holdings Spanish subsidiary and one of its Mexican subsidiaries distributed cash dividends of $7.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, to their U.S. parent companies.

Income tax matters
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, Holdings recorded an income tax benefit of $0.8 million, or a negative 44.4% effective tax rate, on a pre-tax income of $1.8 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to provision of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings of Holdings Spanish subsidiary, valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets and withholding taxes on dividend distributions from Holdings Spanish subsidiary, partially offset by non-U.S. tax rate differences and state income taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Holdings recorded an income tax benefit of $19.5 million, or a 35.5% effective tax rate, on a pre-tax loss of $55.0 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to by non-U.S. tax rate differences, state income taxes and an adjustment from the resolution of transfer price assessments at one of Holdings Chinese subsidiaries between the U.S. and China tax authorities, partially offset by provision of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings of Holdings Spanish subsidiary, valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets and withholding taxes on dividend distributions from Holdings Spanish subsidiary.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, Holdings recorded income tax expense of $0.5 million, or a negative 38.5% effective tax rate, on a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to provision of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings of a Spanish subsidiary, withholding taxes on a dividend distribution from a Spanish subsidiary and income tax expense associated with reversal of the permanent manufacturing deduction, offset in part by provision to return adjustments, state income taxes and research and development credits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Holdings recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million, or a negative 2.0% effective tax rate, on a pre-tax loss of $5.1 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to provision of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings of a Spanish subsidiary and withholding taxes on dividend distributions from a Spanish subsidiary, in part offset by research and development credits, foreign tax rate differences, state income taxes and provision to return adjustments.

UCI Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In August 2014, Holdings shareholder advised that it is undertaking a strategic review of its ownership of the business, as part of a broader strategic review of the commonly-owned automotive aftermarkets businesses (which includes businesses operated by Autoparts Holdings). The review may result in a decision to sell some or all of the business, although no decision has been made at this time to do so.
NOTE 17 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 14, 2014, Holdings sold land and building with a net book value of $1.1 million and classified as assets held for sale on its interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet to Rank Group North America, Inc., a company related by common ultimate control, for proceeds of $2.5 million, being the fair value of the land and building.
On October 31, 2014, Holdings repaid $10.0 million of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.
NOTE 18 GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Certain of Holdings subsidiaries have guaranteed UCI International, Inc.s obligations under the Senior Notes described in Note 8.
The condensed financial information that follows includes condensed financial statements for (a) Holdings, which is the parent of UCI International, Inc. and a guarantor of the Senior Notes, (b) UCI International, Inc., which is the issuer of the Senior Notes, (c) certain of the U.S. subsidiaries which guarantee the Senior Notes (the Guarantor Subsidiaries), (d) the non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain U.S. subsidiaries which do not guarantee the Senior Notes (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries), and (e) consolidated Holdings.

Exhibit 99.2
UCI Holdings Limited
UCI Holdings Limited Reports Results of Operations for
Third Quarter 2014
LAKE FOREST, IL November 12, 2014 UCI Holdings Limited (Holdings), the parent company of UCI International, Inc. (UCI International), today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. Net sales for Holdings were $251.3 million for the quarter compared to $252.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The company, a leading manufacturer of vehicle replacement parts, reported that net sales to third parties increased in the OEM and traditional channels, with declines in the retail, heavy duty and OES (new car dealer service) channels. Net sales for the third quarter of 2014 also included $11.7 million in related party sales to FRAM Group, compared to $17.1 million for the third quarter of 2013.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, was $26.9 million for the third quarter, compared with $29.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is set forth in Schedule A.
Net income for the quarter was $2.6 million, including $5.1 million, net of tax, in special charges, consisting of restructuring costs, costs of a corporate strategic review, business optimization costs, and costs of obtaining new business. Excluding these items, adjusted net income would have been $7.7 million for the quarter. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $0.8 million, excluding $2.6 million, net of tax, in special charges, consisting of business optimization costs, costs related to implementation of cost sharing and manufacturing arrangements with FRAM Group, restructuring costs, costs of obtaining new business and class action and other litigation costs.
Revenue was flat with last years quarter, with new business led by the strong performance of our OEM cooling systems products being offset by lower customer pricing and lower related party sales to FRAM Group, said Bruce Zorich, Chief Executive Officer of UCI. Lower customer pricing and unfavorable product mix continued to impact our adjusted EBITDA, but were partially offset by reduced costs from our OEM product introduction and our continued cost savings initiatives.
As of September 30, 2014, the companys cash on hand was $31.8 million and total debt was $708.9 million.

Schedule A
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, a measure used by our strategic owner to measure operating performance, is defined as net income (loss) for the period plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment and amortization expense of identifiable intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA presented herein is also a financial measure used by our strategic owner to measure operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted to exclude items of a significant or unusual nature that cannot be attributed to ordinary business activities, such as business optimization costs, restructuring costs and costs related to implementation of cost sharing arrangements with FRAM Group. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations in accordance with GAAP, or measures of our financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating profit or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow, as they do not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, working capital needs, tax payments and capital expenditures. We believe that the inclusion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance and to provide a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. Additionally, we believe that issuers of high yield debt securities also present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider these measures useful. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to determine our compliance with certain covenants, including the fixed charge coverage ratio used for purposes of debt incurrence under the indenture governing the Senior Notes and certain other agreements governing our indebtedness. Because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA identically, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
