Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and Six months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

 

(1)         Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carlisle Companies Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”).  Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as such, do not include all information required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of the Company, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods presented herein.  Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders and 2004 Form 10-K.

 

(2)         Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s information to conform to the current year’s presentation.  The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been revised to reflect the effects of discontinued operations.  Segment information presented in Note 15 has also been revised from prior year’s presentation to reflect discontinued operations and assets held for sale.  See Note 6 for more detail regarding these operations.

 

(3)         New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2004, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 106-2, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.  In December 2003, the President of the United States (the “President”) signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”).  The Act provides for a 28% tax-free subsidy on certain prescription drug claims for sponsors of retiree health care plans with drug benefits that are at least actuarially equivalent to those to be offered under Medicare Part D.   Because of existing caps on employer costs for the majority of the groups participating in its postretirement medical plan, the Company does not anticipate it will be eligible for this subsidy.  Due to the size of the liability for those groups that may be eligible, any reduction in the liability as a result of the Act is not expected to be material.

 

In November 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151 (“SFAS 151”), Inventory Costs – An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.  This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43 (“ARB 43”), Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2006.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but its adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statement of earnings or financial position.

 

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment.  This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  SFAS 123(R) requires the expensing of all share-based payments, including the issuance of stock options, based on the fair value of the award at the grant date.  Additionally, the new standard requires the use of a fair-value measurement methodology which takes into consideration the special nature of its awards, including early exercise provisions.  Currently, for presentation of the pro-forma effect on Net Income of stock-based compensation arrangements as required by SFAS 123, the Company estimates the fair value of its awards using the Black-Scholes method.

 

5



 

The Company is required to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2006 and will elect to expense its share-based awards using the modified prospective method as provided by SFAS 123(R).  This method requires the expensing of share-based awards issued on or after the date of adoption as well as the unvested portion of awards issued before the date of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating alternatives for measuring the fair value of new awards.  The pretax amount of unvested awards as calculated under the Black-Scholes method as of June 30, 2005 to be expensed upon adoption is $0.7 million in 2006 and less than $0.1 million in 2007.  As previously discussed, the Company has not yet determined the methodology it will use in estimating fair value of new awards; however, it expects the expense per option granted to be lower than that presented in current pro-forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

 

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.  SFAS 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  The Company is required to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2006 and does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s statement of earnings or financial position.

 

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (“the Act”) was signed into law by the President. This Act includes a tax deduction of up to 9% (when fully phased-in) of the lesser of (a) “qualified production activities income,” as defined in the Act, or (b) taxable income (after the deduction for the utilization of any net operating loss carryforwards). This tax deduction is limited to 50 percent of W-2 wages paid by the taxpayer.  The Act also provides for a special one-time tax deduction of 85 percent of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated (as defined in the Act) in either an enterprise’s last tax year that began before the enactment date, or the first tax year that begins during the one-year period beginning on the date of enactment.

 

In December 2004, FASB also issued FASB Staff Position FAS 109-2 (“FSP 109-2”), Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”).  FSP 109-2 provides guidance under FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), with respect to recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the Act on income tax expense and deferred tax liability.  FSP 109-2 permits an enterprise time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS 109. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of the repatriation provisions and accordingly has not adjusted its tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provisions of the Act.  At this time, the Company does not anticipate significant repatriation of foreign earnings in 2005.

 

In June 2005, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 154 (“SFAS 154”), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.  This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions.  SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. Retrospective application is defined by the statement as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity.  This statement also requires that a change in the depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle.  SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2006.

 

(4)         Employee Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

 

The Company accounts for awards of stock-based employee compensation based on the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25.  As such, no stock-based compensation is recorded in the determination of net income as options granted have an option price equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.  The following table illustrates the effect on Net Income and Earnings Per Share had the Company applied the fair-value method

(5)         Acquisitions

 

On June 30, 2004, the Company acquired the specialty tire and wheel business of Trintex Corporation for $32.5 million.  The operating results of Trintex Corporation since the acquisition are included in the Industrial Components segment.  The Company has completed the allocation of purchase price among the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill of $24.9 million. Allocations among other major asset and liability classes were not material.  The purchase agreement contains an earnout provision based on operating performance over the next four years.   Any future amounts payable under this provision will be treated as a portion of the purchase price and allocated to goodwill.

 

(6)         Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

 

In ongoing efforts during 2004 to streamline its businesses, the Company identified its Automotive Components segment and two operations it plans to exit. The Automotive Components segment consists entirely of Carlisle Engineered Products.  The two operations included the plastic components operation of Carlisle Tire & Wheel Company in the Industrial Components segment and the pottery business of Carlisle FoodService in the General Industry segment.  During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the plastic components operation of Carlisle Tire & Wheel Company and the pottery business of Carlisle FoodService, which resulted in a loss of $1.1 million.  The Company recorded a $13.0 million impairment charge on the fixed assets of the automotive components business in the second quarter of 2005.  The impairment represents management’s assessment of the current fair value of this business as of June 30, 2005 based on a discounted cash flow analysis.  The Company is actively marketing this business and expects to complete the sale in 2005.  The ultimate loss on the discontinuance of the Automotive Components segment will be determined upon its sale or other disposition.

(7)         Exit and Disposal Activities

 

On March 29, 2005, Carlisle Power Transmission, reported in the Industrial Components segment, announced plans to close its plant in Red Wing, Minnesota.  Total costs to exit this facility are estimated at $1.7 million and consist primarily of termination benefits and costs to relocate equipment from the Red Wing facility to other manufacturing locations.  Exit costs of $0.6 million were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2005.  Exit and disposal costs of $0.5 million were also recorded at Carlisle FoodService, reported in the General Industry segment, related to the consolidation of a brush manufacturing operation located in California into an existing facility located in Georgia.

 

Exit and disposal activities for 2004 were approximately $0.6 million for the General Industry segment and $0.1 million for the Industrial Components segment. Exit and disposal costs within the General Industry segment were associated with the consolidation of the Flo-Pac operations, acquired in May 2003, into Carlisle FoodService, as well as the relocation of a textile operation within the Carlisle FoodService organization.  In the Industrial Components segment, exit and disposal costs were related to the consolidation of the management teams of Carlisle Tire & Wheel Company and Carlisle Power Transmission initiated in 2003.  Liabilities associated with these activities were substantially paid during 2004.

(12)  Borrowings

 

On June 9, 2005, the Company replaced its three-year $250.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility with a five-year $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2005 Facility”).  The 2005 Facility provides for grid-based interest pricing based on the credit rating of the Company’s senior unsecured bank or other unsecured senior debt and the Company’s utilization of the 2005 Facility.  The 2005 Facility requires the Company to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations including minimum consolidated total leverage and minimum consolidated net worth ratios, all of which were complied with as of June 30, 2005.

(13)  Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is obligated under various noncancelable operating leases for certain facilities and equipment.  Future minimum lease payments under these arrangements in each of the next five years are approximately $9.6 million remaining in 2005, $15.3 million in 2006, $12.9 million in 2007, $9.6 million in 2008, $8.2 million in 2009, and $37.3 million thereafter.

 

At June 30, 2005, letters of credit amounting to $45.7 million were outstanding, primarily to provide security under insurance arrangements and certain borrowings.

 

The Company has financial guarantee lines in place for certain of its operations in Asia and Europe to facilitate working capital needs, customer performance and payment and warranty obligations.  At June 30, 2005, the Company had issued guarantees of $12.3 million, of which $9.6 million represents amounts recorded in current liabilities.  The fair value of these guarantees is estimated to equal the amount of the guarantees at June 30, 2005, due to their short-term nature.

 

The Company offers various warranty programs on its installed roofing systems, braking products, truck trailers, refrigerated truck bodies, and cheese making equipment.  The life of these warranties range from five to thirty years.  All revenue for the sale of these contracts is deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts.  Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred.  The Company also records a loss and a corresponding reserve if the total expected costs of providing services under the contract exceed unearned revenues. The Company estimates total expected warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on historical claims experience and management judgment. The change in the Company’s aggregate product warranty liabilities for the period ended June 30 is as follows:

The amount of extended product warranty revenues recognized was $3.4 million and $6.7 million for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and $3.5 million and $6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.

 

The Company maintains self-insured retained liabilities for workers’ compensation, medical, general liability and property claims up to applicable retention limits.  Retention limits are between $0.5 million and $1.0 million per occurrence for general liability, $0.5 million per occurrence for workers’ compensation, $0.1 million per occurrence for property and up to $0.5 million for medical claims. The Company is insured for losses in excess of these limits.

 

The Company may be involved in various legal actions from time to time arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company, but may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations for a particular period.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company received proceeds of $3.6 million, net of legal fees, from the favorable resolution of certain legal actions initiated by the Company.  These proceeds were included in Other (income) expense, net.

 

(14)  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and market values of its debt instruments, changes in raw material prices and foreign currency fluctuations.  From time to time, the Company may manage its interest rate exposure through the use of treasury lock contracts and interest rate swaps to reduce volatility of cash flows, impact on earnings and to lower its cost of capital.

 

On June 15, 2005, the Company entered into treasury lock contracts with a notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge the cash flow variability on forecasted debt interest payments associated with changes in interest rates.  These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and were deemed effective at the origination date and as of June 30, 2005.  The

 

11



 

valuation of these contracts as of June 30, 2005 resulted in a liability of $5.3 million, included in Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In April 2005, the Company terminated certain interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $75.0 million that hedged the market risk associated with the Company’s fixed rate debt. The termination of those contracts, which were designated as fair value hedges, resulted in a loss of $1.4 million, which will be amortized to interest expense until January 2007, the original termination date of the swap.

 

There were no interest rate swaps in place as of June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2004, the Company had in place interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $75.0 million that were designated as fair value hedges.

 

On June 30, 2005, the Company executed certain currency hedges with a total notional amount of $2.3 million.  These currency contracts serve to hedge the Company’s cash flow risk associated with certain customer payment schedules.  At June 30, 2005, the Company had currency hedges, designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional amount of $6.8 million.  The fair value position of these contracts as of June 30, 2005 resulted in a net liability of $0.4 million.

Net sales and EBIT are generally higher in the first half of the year for the Industrial Components segment due to peak sales volumes in the outdoor equipment market.  As well, in the Construction Materials segment, net sales and EBIT are generally higher in the second and third quarters due to increased construction activity during these periods.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Executive Overview

 

Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle” or the “Company”) is a diversified manufacturing company focused on achieving profitable growth internally through new product development and product line extensions, and externally through acquisitions that complement the Company’s existing technologies, products and markets.  The Company has twelve operating companies and more than 13,000 employees serving a variety of niche markets.  While Carlisle has offshore manufacturing operations, the markets served by the Company are primarily in North America.  Management focuses on continued year over year improvement in sales and earnings, return on capital employed and return on shareholders’ equity.  Resources are allocated among the Company’s businesses based on management’s assessment of their ability to obtain leadership positions in the markets they serve.

 

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were 9% higher than for the three months ended June 30, 2004.  An increase in demand and selling prices contributed to growth in the Construction Materials and Transportation Products segments.  Acquisitions accounted for more than half of the increase in the Industrial Components segment, more than offsetting softness in the lawn and garden market.  Net sales were negatively impacted in the current year quarter due to an ongoing labor dispute occurring at Johnson Truck Bodies within the General Industry segment.  Income from continuing operations improved 9% from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005.  Improved profitability in the Construction Materials and Transportation Products segments were partially offset by higher corporate expenses and lower earnings in the General Industry, Industrial Components and Specialty Products segments.

 

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 grew 13% over the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The strongest growth occurred in the Construction Materials, Industrial Components and Transportation Products segments, and resulted from a combination of increased demand and higher selling prices, and to a lesser extent from acquisitions and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The aforementioned labor dispute at Johnson Truck Bodies resulted in lower year-over-year net sales for the General Industry segment and partially offset growth in all other segments.  Income from continuing operations in the first half of 2005 improved 16% from the first half of 2004.  Overall, higher sales volumes and selling price increases necessary to cover the continued rise in raw material costs contributed to the improved performance; however, increased freight costs, sales of lower margin product, reduced production in some of the Company’s business units and higher corporate expenses had a negative impact on year-over-year results.  Also impacting results for the current quarter and six-month period were foreign exchange losses on subsidiary debt, which had a negative impact of $0.02 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively.  Favorably impacting results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was a gain of $0.08 per diluted share for proceeds received from certain legal actions initiated by the Company.

 

Sales and Earnings

 

Consolidated

 

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $645.9 million, a $55.6 million, or 9%, improvement over net sales of $590.3 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2004.  Organic growth (defined as the increase in net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures within the last twelve months as well as the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates), primarily in the Construction Materials and Transportation Products segments, accounted for 81% of the improvement, while acquisitions and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates accounted for 13% and 6%, respectively.

 

Earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”) of $69.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 represented a $5.5 million, or 9%, improvement over EBIT of $64.3 million recorded in the same period last year.   The Company recognized higher EBIT in the Construction Materials and Transportation Products segments, but recorded lower EBIT in the General Industry, Industrial Components and Specialty Products segments.  Higher corporate expenses, resulting primarily from foreign exchange losses on subsidiary loans, higher fees associated with an increase in the utilization of the securitization program, and an increase in fees related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act had a negative impact on quarter results.  Corporate expenses for the second quarter of 2005 also compared negatively with 2004 as prior year expenses were lower on adjustments for certain legal reserves based on actual claims experience.  Favorably impacting results in the second quarter of 2005 was a $3.6 million pre-tax gain resulting from proceeds received from the

aforementioned legal actions as well as a $1.3 million gain on the sale of property in the Construction Materials segment.  The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on EBIT was negligible.  Income from continuing operations was $44.3 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005, $3.6 million, or 9%, higher than $40.7 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, recognized in the 2004 period.  Net income was $34.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, a 7% decline compared to net income in the second quarter of 2004 of $37.4 million, or $1.19 per diluted share.  Included in net income for the current three month period was an after-tax impairment charge of $8.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, taken on the fixed assets of the Company’s discontinued automotive components operations.

 

Net sales were $1.24 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 13%, from net sales of $1.09 billion in the first six months of 2004.  Strong organic growth, primarily in the Construction Materials, Industrial Components and Transportation Products segments, contributed $121.6 million representing 84% of the improvement.  Acquisitions accounted for $17.5 million, while changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable $5.7 million impact as compared to the prior year.

 

EBIT was $118.4 million in the first six months of 2005, a 16%, improvement over prior year EBIT of $102.5 million.  The Construction Materials and Transportation Products segments recorded higher EBIT as compared to last year, driven by higher sales volumes and selling prices.  Contributing to the favorable year-over-year results was a $3.6 million gain recorded during the second quarter of this year reflecting proceeds from certain legal actions.  EBIT was negatively impacted by the previously discussed labor dispute, and higher corporate expenses.  Corporate expenses were higher than the prior year primarily as a result of foreign currency exchange losses recorded on subsidiary debt, an increase in the utilization of the Company’s securitization program and higher professional fees related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Included in corporate expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were gains resulting from the favorable settlement of certain product liability claims and favorable adjustments to insurance reserves, which contributed to the negative results as compared to last year.  The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on EBIT was negligible.  Income from continuing operations of $74.4 million, or $2.37 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 represented a 16% improvement over $64.0 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2004.  Net income was $62.9 million, or $2.01 per diluted share, in the first half of 2005 as compared with net income of $61.1 million, or $1.95 per diluted share in the first six months of 2004.   Net income in the current year included an $8.2 million after-tax impairment charge on the fixed assets of the automotive components operations.

Industrial Components

 

Net sales in the Industrial Components segment were $209.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a 7% improvement over the same period one year ago.  Impacting sales for the current-year quarter was the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which contributed $1.5 million to the results compared to last year.  Organic growth represented 35% of the improvement over last year.  Higher sales in the replacement, ATV and commercial power equipment markets within the tire and wheel business more than offset relatively soft demand in the lawn and garden and styled wheel markets.  The soft lawn and garden market also contributed to lower sales in the power transmission belt business as compared to last year.  The acquisition of Trintex, a specialty semi-pneumatic tire and wheel business acquired in June 2004, accounted for slightly more than half of the growth in this segment.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $431.3 million, an 11% growth over the prior year.  Organic growth contributed slightly more than half of the improvement, reflecting higher tire and wheel sales in the ATV and replacement markets.  Higher demand in the lawn and garden market during the first three months was mostly offset by weakening in the second quarter.  Power transmission belt sales declined year-over-year.  Higher sales to original equipment manufacturers in the agricultural and recreational markets were offset by weak demand in the lawn and garden market and lower sales in the distribution market.

 

Segment EBIT for the three months ended June 30, 2005 of $19.8 million, represented a 9% reduction from EBIT recognized in the second quarter of 2004.  EBIT for the six months ended June 30, 2005 remained essentially unchanged from the prior year.  Included in the current year three and six-month periods was a $3.6 million gain recognized from proceeds associated with certain legal actions.  Selling price increases were successful in offsetting higher raw material costs in the three and six-month periods; however lower demand for higher-margin styled wheels, weakening second-quarter demand in the lawn and garden market, as well as increased utility costs, freight costs, and employee benefits were the primary drivers of the lower earnings for the quarter and flat earnings for the six-month period.  Lower demand in these markets has contributed to increased inventories in this segment.  Due to the relatively high levels of inventories on hand, production has been scaled back at several locations.  If demand continues to remain weak, lower production levels could be maintained in an effort to reduce inventories to more acceptable levels, which could place negative pressure on future results.  Net sales and EBIT are generally higher in the first half of the year due to peak sales volumes in the outdoor power equipment market.

 

In the first quarter of 2005, the Company announced plans to close its power transmission belt plant in Red Wing, Minnesota.  The closure is an effort to reduce operating expenses by optimizing capacity utilization in other production facilities.  Total expenses related to these activities are expected to approximate $1.7 million and be completed by the end of 2005.  In the second quarter of 2005, $0.6 million of expenses were incurred, primarily related to termination benefits.

 

Construction Materials

 

Net sales in the Construction Materials segment grew to $227.9 million in the second quarter of 2005, up 22% from the quarter ended June 30, 2004, while net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 grew 29%, to $399.4 million from $310.3 million recorded last year.  The three and six month results reflect increased demand and higher selling prices across most product lines.  Higher sales of insulation and domestic roofing EPDM and TPO and accessories were the largest contributors to the improvement.

 

Segment EBIT improved 39% from $28.0 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $38.8 million in the second quarter of 2005.  For the six-month period, EBIT grew 55%, up from $34.6 million in 2004 to $53.4 million in 2005.  Higher sales volumes and selling prices more than offset higher raw material costs and unfavorable product mix.  Included in segment earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.6 million of equity income related to the Company’s 25% minority share in its European joint venture, Icopal.  This compares to $1.2 million recognized in the same 2004 period.  The current year six-month period reflects a loss of $3.6 million related to Icopal as compared to a $2.9 million loss recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  Included in the results for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2005 was a $1.3 million gain recorded from the receipt of insurance proceeds related to a fire at a small coatings and waterproofing plant that occurred in 2002, as well as a gain of $1.3 million recognized on the sale of property.  Results for the 2004 three and six-month periods included a gain of $1.9 million also related to insurance proceeds.

 

Net sales and EBIT are generally higher for this segment in the second and third quarters of the year due to increased construction activity during these periods; however, there are uncertainties as to future demand and the impact lower demand may have on selling prices.  Earnings could also be impacted by a continued rise in the cost of raw materials, placing pressure on future results.

Transportation Products

 

Net sales in the Transportation Products segment grew by $11.3 million, or 28%, in the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period last year, and $18.8 million, or 26% for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  Sales were up substantially in all product lines in both three and six-month periods, led by growth in the construction and material hauling markets.  An increase in sales of hydraulic detachable trailers was the primary driver for the growth in the construction market, while higher sales of pneumatic bulk tanks and construction live-bottoms were responsible for the improvement in the material hauling market.  Higher sales overall were the result of a combination of an increase in selling prices, a more favorable product mix and increased volume.

 

EBIT was up significantly in both the three and six month-periods ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods in 2004.  Higher selling prices as well as favorable absorption of overhead costs driven by increased demand were the primary contributors to the improvement.  While demand remained strong throughout the first half of 2005 and backlog remains robust going into the third quarter, it is uncertain how long demand will hold at these historic levels.

 

Specialty Products

 

Sales in the Specialty Products segment grew at a modest 3% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004, but combined with a stronger first quarter to generate 10% growth in the first half of 2005 as compared to 2004.  Sales of industrial braking systems were up in the second quarter this year over the prior year, reflecting higher demand and selling prices, but were partially offset by lower sales of heavy friction blocks and relined brake shoes, due to lower demand on increased selling prices.  On a year-over-year basis, sales were higher in nearly all product lines reflecting strong demand and, to a lesser extent, increased selling prices.

 

EBIT for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was down 15% from the prior year reflecting production inefficiencies and higher freight costs.  EBIT for the current year six-month period was 13% higher than in the prior year.  Higher sales volumes and a more favorable product mix offset higher raw material costs as compared to the first half of 2004.   Continued increases in raw material costs and higher freight costs could negatively impact future earnings in this segment.

 

On July 15, 2005, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase 100% of the heavy-duty brake lining and brake shoe assembly assets of Zhejing Kete located in Hangzhou, China for approximately $36.0 million.

 

General Industry (All Other)

 

Overall, net sales for the businesses reported in General Industry were $10.9 million, or 8%, lower in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004, and $13.7 million, or 5%, lower in the first half of 2005 as compared to 2004.  Overall sales at Carlisle FoodService grew 8% over the second quarter last year and 2% from the first six months of 2004 despite lower sales of sanitary maintenance products.  Sales at Carlisle Systems and Equipment (including Carlisle Process Systems, Carlisle Walker Stainless and CPS Pharma) fell 10% and 5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year.  Higher sales in the cheese market resulting from a large project in the southwest United States were more than offset by lower sales at the Company’s European operations.  The most significant event impacting sales in both the three and six-month periods was an ongoing labor dispute at Johnson Truck Bodies, which contributed to lower sales as compared to last year of $9.7 million and $11.5 million as for the three and six-month periods, respectively.

 

EBIT fell 26% in the quarter and 20% in the first six months of this year compared to last year.  Despite higher sales, earnings at Carlisle FoodService remained essentially flat for the second quarter and fell 8% in the first six months primarily as a result of increased expenses associated with the consolidation of a brush facility acquired in 2003 into existing facilities.  The ongoing labor dispute at Johnson Truck Bodies contributed an unfavorable $3.8 million variance in the second quarter of this year as compared to last year, and six-month year-over-year unfavorable variance of $4.5 million.  Management cannot reasonably estimate the duration of the labor dispute, which could continue to negatively impact future operating results into the third and fourth quarters of 2005.

Discontinued Operations

 

Losses from discontinued operations, net of tax, were $9.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, a $6.3 million decline over losses from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $3.3 million recognized in the second quarter of 2004.  For the six months ended June 30, 2005, losses from discontinued operations, net of tax, were $11.4 million, or $8.5 million lower than losses of $2.9 million recorded in 2004.  Results for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 include an after-tax impairment charge of $8.2 million recorded on the fixed assets of the automotive components operations.  The impairment represents management’s assessment of the current fair value of this business as of June 30, 2005 based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The ultimate loss on the discontinuance of the Automotive Components segment will be determined upon its sale or other disposition.

 

Acquisitions

 

On June 30, 2004, the Company acquired the specialty tire and wheel business of Trintex Corporation for $32.5 million. The operating results of Trintex Corporation since the acquisition are included in the Industrial Components segment.  The Company has completed the allocation of the purchase price among the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill of $24.9 million. Allocations among other major asset and liability classes were not material.  The purchase agreement contains an earnout provision based on operating performance over the next four years.   Any future amounts payable under this provision will be treated as a portion of the purchase price and allocated to goodwill.

 

On July 15, 2005, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase 100% of the heavy-duty brake lining and brake shoe assembly assets of Zhejing Kete (“Kete”) located in Hangzhou, China for approximately $36.0 million.  Kete will be under the management direction of Carlisle Motion Control, which is included in the Specialty Products segment.

 

Financial Results

 

Gross margin:   Gross margin (net sales less cost of goods sold expressed as a percent of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 of 20.1% was slightly below 20.6% recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2004.  For the six months ended June 30, 2005, gross margin of 20.0% was slightly below gross margin of 20.3% in the first six months of last year.  Increased selling prices generally offset higher raw material costs;  however, certain production inefficiencies as well as increased utility and freight costs suppressed gross margins to slightly below 2004 levels for the current quarter.

 

Selling and administrative expenses:   Selling and administrative expenses (“S&A”) of $60.5 million in the second quarter of 2005 were approximately 9% higher than $55.7 million in the second quarter of 2004.  For the first six-month period, selling and administrative expenses were $120.3 million, or 9%, higher than $110.3 million in the first six months of 2004.  Higher S&A is primarily attributed to variable expenses that fluctuate with sales.  Selling and administrative expenses, as a percent of net sales, were 9.4% in both the second quarter of 2005 and second quarter of 2004.  For the year-to-date period, S&A expenses, as a percent of net sales, were 9.7% in 2005 compared to 10.1% in 2004.  Contributing to the increase in the three and six-month periods were higher corporate expenses, resulting from higher professional fees related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These costs are estimated to be lower for the full year of 2005 as compared with 2004.

 

Other (income) expense, net:  Other income, net, in the second quarter of 2005 was $4.8 million, an increase of $2.3 million compared to other income, net, of $2.5 million recorded in the second quarter of 2004.  Included in 2005 results were a gain of $3.6 million on proceeds received from certain legal actions, a $1.3 million gain recognized on the sale of property and a $1.3 million gain recognized on insurance proceeds received from a fire at a small coatings and waterproofing operation that occurred in 2002.  Also included in 2005 results were equity earnings from the Company’s European join venture of $0.6 million.  Offsetting these gains were losses of $1.0 million and $0.9 million associated with fees related to the Company’s securitization program and foreign exchange losses recorded on subsidiary debt, respectively.    Other income in the second quarter of 2004 included gains on insurance proceeds of $1.9 million and equity earnings of $1.2 million.  Also included was a $0.6 million foreign exchange loss related to subsidiary debt and $0.4 million of fees associated with the Company’s securitization program.

 

Other expense, net, of $0.3 million recognized in the first six months of 2005 was $0.7 million lower than $1.0 million recognized in the first half of 2004.  The 2005 results included the gains previously discussed.  These gains were offset by

 

18



 

equity losses from the Company’s European joint venture of $3.6 million, securitization fees of $1.7 million and foreign exchange losses of $1.1 million.  2004 results primarily reflect the aforementioned gain on insurance proceeds of $1.9 million, offset by equity losses of $2.9 million.

 

Interest expense, net:  Net interest expense of $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $0.2 million higher than for the three months ended June 30, 2004.   Net interest expense for the first six months of 2005 was $8.6 million, or $0.8 million higher than in the first six months of 2004.  The increase was due primarily to higher average borrowings to support working capital needs and capital expenditures and unfavorable positions on the Company’s interest rate swaps relative to last year, partially offset by higher capitalized interest than in the prior year.

 

Receivables:  Receivables of $232.2 million at June 30, 2005 represented a $4.8 million increase over receivables of $227.4 million at December 31, 2004.  Receivables were up at each of the Company’s segments, most notably in Construction Materials, Industrial Components and Transportation Products due to higher sales.

 

Inventories:  Inventories increased $53.4 million, up from $315.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $369.0 million as of June 30, 2005.  The largest increase in inventories was in the Construction Materials segment resulting from planned builds of inventory levels to meet projected sales demand in the third quarter of 2005.  Inventories were also significantly higher in the Industrial Components segment as a result of lower demand, and in the General Industry segment reflecting higher inventory levels at Carlisle FoodService.

 

Current assets held for sale:  Current assets held for sale increased $41.7 million to $58.2 million as of June 30, 2005, up from $16.5 million at December 31, 2004, reflecting an increase in receivables as the Company’s discontinued automotive components business is no longer participating in the securitization program.

Net cash provided by continuing operations of $20.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $33.6 million lower than net cash provided by operating activities of $53.6 million in the first six months of 2004.  Included in cash provided in the 2004 period were proceeds of $38.0 million received from the Company’s securitization program.  No proceeds were received from this program in 2005.  Increased working capital needs were due primarily to higher inventory levels in the Construction Materials segment to support increased demand and higher accounts receivable balances reflecting higher sales.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $47.2 million in the first half of 2005 compared to $52.9 million in 2004.  Acquisitions accounted for $32.2 million of the cash used in 2004.  Capital expenditures of $52.2 million in the first six months of this year were 50% higher capital than expenditures of $34.8 million in the first half of 2004, reflecting spending for new production plants for the Construction Materials segment and a new distribution center for Carlisle FoodService. Proceeds from the sale of investments, property and equipment in 2005 include the sale of property in the Construction Materials segment.  Proceeds from the sale of investments, property and equipment in 2004 included the sale of properties acquired with the May 2003 acquisition of Flo-Pac, a specialty manufacturer of brooms, brushes, rotary brushes and cleaning tools in the sanitary maintenance market, reported in the General Industry segment.

 

Cash provided by financing activities of $39.9 million in the first six months of 2005 compared to cash used of $12.1 million in the first six months of 2004, reflecting increased short-term borrowings required to fund higher working capital

and increased capital expenditures.  The company also used $16.4 million to finance the purchase of 0.2 million shares of its common stock, which was partially offset by proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.

 

On June 9, 2005, the Company replaced its three-year $250.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility with a five-year $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2005 Facility”).  The 2005 Facility provides for grid-based interest pricing based on the credit rating of the Company’s senior unsecured bank or other unsecured senior debt and the Company’s utilization of the 2005 Facility.  The 2005 Facility requires the Company to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations including minimum consolidated total leverage and minimum consolidated net worth ratios.  The Company had $259.9 million available under this facility as of June 30, 2005.

 

The Company also maintains a $55.0 million uncommitted line of credit, which was fully utilized as of June 30, 2005.  Also at June 30, 2005, $5.0 million was available under the Company’s $125.0 million receivables facility.

(1) Future expected interest payments are calculated based on the stated rate for fixed rate debt and the effective

interest rate as of June 30, 2005 for variable rate debt.

 

The above table does not include $88.9 million of other long-term liabilities.  Other long-term liabilities consist primarily of pension, post-retirement, deferred income tax and warranty obligations.  Due to factors such as return on plan assets, disbursements, contributions, and timing of warranty claims, it is not estimable when these will become due.

 

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, that it expected to contribute $5.2 million to its pension plans in 2005.  The Company subsequently revised this estimate to $5.8 million.  To date, $2.1 million has been contributed to the plans and additional minimum contributions of $3.7 million are expected for the remainder of 2005.

 

The Company maintains defined contribution plans to which it has contributed $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005.  Full year contributions are expected to approximate $10.0 million.

 

At June 30, 2005, letters of credit amounting to $45.7 million were outstanding, primarily to provide security under insurance arrangements and certain borrowings.

 

The Company has financial guarantee lines in place for certain of its operations in Asia and Europe to facilitate working capital needs, customer performance and payment and warranty obligations.  At June 30, 2005, the Company had issued guarantees of $12.3 million, of which $9.6 million represents amounts recorded in current liabilities.  The fair value of these guarantees is estimated to equal the amount of the guarantees at June 30, 2005, due to their short-term nature.

 

The Company believes that its operating cash flows, credit facilities, accounts receivable securitization program, lines of credit, and leasing programs provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund ongoing operations, expand existing lines of business and make strategic acquisitions.  However, the ability to maintain existing credit facilities and access the capital markets can be impacted by economic conditions outside the Company’s control.  The Company’s cost to borrow and capital market access can be impacted by debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, based on certain credit measures such as interest coverage, funds from operations and various leverage ratios.

Backlog

 

Backlog from continuing operations at June 30, 2005 of $347.9 million was 5% lower than backlog of $366.2 million as of June 30, 2004.   Backlog was higher in the Transportation Products segment, but this increase was offset primarily as a result of lower backlog within General Industry as a large project for Carlisle Systems and Equipment in the southwestern United States nears completion.  Due to the nature of orders at Carlisle Systems and Equipment, backlog can include capital equipment orders for a period of twelve to twenty-four months.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

In ongoing efforts during 2004 to streamline its businesses, the Company identified its Automotive Components segment and two other operations it plans to exit. The Automotive Components segment consists entirely of Carlisle Engineered Products.  The operations identified were the plastic components operation of Carlisle Tire & Wheel Company in the Industrial Components segment and the pottery business of Carlisle FoodService in the General Industry segment.  During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the plastic components operation of Carlisle Tire & Wheel Company and the pottery business of Carlisle FoodService, which resulted in a loss of $1.1 million.  The Company recorded a $13.0 million impairment charge on the fixed assets of the automotive components business in the second quarter of 2005.  The impairment represents management’s assessment of the current fair value of this business as of June 30, 2005 based on a discounted cash flow analysis.  The Company is actively marketing this business and expects to complete the sale in 2005.  The ultimate loss on the discontinuance of the Automotive Components segment will be determined upon its sale or other disposition.

Exit and Disposal Activities

 

On March 29, 2005, Carlisle Power Transmission, reported in the Industrial Components segment, announced plans to close its plant in Red Wing, Minnesota.  Total costs to exit this facility are estimated at $1.7 million and consist primarily of termination benefits and costs to relocate equipment from the Red Wing facility to other manufacturing locations.  Exit costs of $0.6 million were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2005.  It is estimated that this project will result in a cost reduction of $1.6 million annually. Exit and disposal costs of $0.5 million were also recorded at Carlisle FoodService, reported in the General Industry segment, related to the consolidation of a brush manufacturing operation located in California into an existing facility located in Georgia.  Future cost savings related to this project are expected to be $0.6 million annually.

 

Exit and disposal activities for 2004 were approximately $0.6 million for the General Industry segment and $0.1 million for the Industrial Components segment. Exit and disposal costs within the General Industry segment were associated with the consolidation of the Flo-Pac operations, acquired in May 2003, into Carlisle FoodService, as well as the relocation of a textile operation within the Carlisle FoodService organization.  In the Industrial Components segment, exit and disposal costs were related to the consolidation of the management teams of Carlisle Tire & Wheel Company and Carlisle Power Transmission initiated in 2003.  Liabilities associated with these activities were substantially paid during 2004.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of publication, and as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen risks and uncertainties.  It is possible that the Company’s future performance may differ materially from current expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements, due to a variety of factors such as: increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants; technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost effective basis; the Company’s mix of products/services; increases in raw material costs which cannot be recovered in product pricing; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental regulations; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the successful integration and identification of the Company’s strategic acquisitions; the cyclical nature of the Company’s businesses; and the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings.  In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general domestic and international economic conditions including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations.  Further, any conflict in the international arena may adversely affect the general market conditions and the Company’s future performance.  The Company undertakes no duty to update forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

The Company is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and market values of its debt instruments, changes in raw material prices and foreign currency fluctuations.  From time to time, the Company may manage its interest rate exposure through the use of interest rate swaps to reduce volatility of cash flows, impact on net income or to lower its cost of capital.

 

In April 2005, the Company terminated certain interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $75 million that hedged the market risk associated with the Company’s fixed rate debt. The termination of those contracts, which were designated as fair value hedges, resulted in a loss of $1.4 million, which will be amortized to interest expense until January 2007, the original termination date of the swap.  There were no interest rate swaps in place as of June 30, 2005.

 

On June 15, 2005, the Company entered into treasury lock contracts with a notional amount of $150 million to hedge the cash flow variability on forecasted debt interest payments associated with changes in interest rates.  These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and were deemed effective at the origination date and as of June 30, 2005.  The valuation of these contracts as of June 30, 2005 resulted in a liability of $5.3 million, included in Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

The Company’s operations use certain commodities such as plastics, carbon black, synthetic and natural rubber and steel.  As such, the Company’s cost of operations is subject to fluctuations as the markets for these commodities change.  The Company monitors these risks, but currently has no derivative contracts in place to hedge these risks.

 

International operations are exposed to translation risk when the local currency financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars.  Carlisle monitors this risk, but at June 30, 2005 had no translation risk hedges in place.  Overall, currency valuation risk is considered minimal; however, as of June 30, 2005 the Company did have currency hedges in place with a total notional amount of $6.8 million for the purpose of hedging cash flow risk associated with certain customer payment schedules.  The fair value position of these contracts as of June 30, 2005 resulted in a net liability of $0.4 million. Approximately 12% of the Company’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.  Based upon that evaluation and as of June 30, 2005, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

(b) There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (a) above that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
