(1)   In May 2005, a sufficient number of shareholders of unlisted Class A Common Stock converted their shares to New York Stock Exchange — listed Common Stock, on a share-for-share basis, which resulted in the remaining Class A shares automatically converting into shares of Common Stock on the same basis.  As a result of this conversion to a single class of stock, shares of Common Stock that previously had limited voting rights now carry full voting rights.

 

(2)   In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded in continuing operations pre-tax, non-cash charges totaling $1.19 billion ($15.26 per share, net of taxes) to record impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets.

 

(3)   On August 12, 2009, the Company completed a public equity offering of 14,950,000 shares of Common Stock, which included the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option for 1,950,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $25.00 per share.  The Company paid $15.1 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $0.6

million of offering expenses.  The net proceeds of the equity offering of approximately $358.1 million, along with cash flow from operations, allowed the Company to repay $731.6 million of debt in fiscal 2009, which substantially strengthened the Company’s capital structure.

 

(4)   On December 6, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of JLG for $3.1 billion in cash.  Amounts include acquisition costs and are net of cash acquired.  Fiscal 2007 results included sales of $2.5 billion and operating income of $268.4 million related to JLG following its acquisition.

 

(5)   In fiscal 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requiring the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards.  Had SFAS No. 123(R) been in effect for the earliest period presented, results would have been as follows for fiscal 2005: operating income - $269.6 million; income attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders from continuing operations - $164.3 million; earnings attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders from continuing operations per share - $2.23; net income attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders - $156.7 million; earnings attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders per share - $2.13.

 

(6)   In fiscal 2005, the Company recorded cumulative life-to-date adjustments to increase the overall margin percentage on the MTVR base contract by 2.5 percentage points as a result of contract modifications and favorable cost performance compared to previous estimates.  This change in estimate, recorded as a cumulative life-to-date adjustment, increased operating income, income attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders from continuing operations, net income attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders, earnings attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders per share from continuing operations and earnings attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders per share by $24.7 million, $15.1 million, $15.1 million, $0.21 and $0.21 in fiscal 2005, including $23.1 million, $14.2 million, $14.2 million, $0.20 and $0.20 in fiscal 2005 relating to prior year revenues.

All estimates referred to in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” refer to the Company’s estimates as of November 18, 2009.

 

Recent Acquisitions and Dispositions

 

Since 1996, the Company has selectively pursued strategic acquisitions to enhance its product offerings and diversify its business.  The Company has focused its acquisition strategy on providing a full range of products to customers in specialty vehicle and vehicle body markets that are growing and where it can develop strong market positions and achieve acquisition synergies.  Acquisitions and dispositions completed during the past three fiscal years were as follows:

 

In fiscal 2007, the Company acquired JLG for $3.1 billion, including transaction costs and the assumption of debt and net of cash acquired.  JLG is the leading global manufacturer of access equipment based on gross revenues.  The results of JLG’s operations are included in the consolidated results of the Company from December 6, 2006 (the date of acquisition).

In fiscal 2009, the Company sold Geesink B.V., Geesink Norba Limited and Norba A.B. (“Geesink”), which comprised the Company’s European refuse collection vehicle business, to a third party for nominal cash consideration.  In spite of aggressive actions during the previous three fiscal years to restructure this business and return it to profitability, the business continued to incur operating losses for the first nine months of fiscal 2009.  The Company believes that its performance can be enhanced by redeploying its resources from Geesink to support the Company’s other businesses.  The Company recorded a $33.8 million non-cash, pre-tax gain on the sale in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

In fiscal 2010, the Company completed the sale of its 75% interest in BAI, the Company’s European fire apparatus business, to BAI’s management team for nominal cash consideration.  The Company recorded a small loss on the sale of BAI in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company reorganized the European parent holding company of Geesink and BAI and claimed a worthless stock and bad debt deduction, which resulted in a $71.5 million tax benefit, of which $61.0 million was included in discontinued operations.  The Company has reflected the financial results of Geesink and BAI as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

 

Executive Overview

 

During fiscal 2009, economies worldwide were impacted by what has come to be known as the “Great Recession” and credit crisis, as evidenced by lower residential and non-residential construction, lower municipal and consumer spending, increased unemployment levels and lower manufacturing utilization. The impact of the Great Recession and credit crisis on a number of the Company’s businesses was severe, ultimately leading to large non-cash impairment charges described below.  For instance, the Company’s access equipment and domestic concrete placement products businesses each experienced sales declines of more than 60% compared to the prior year. In the midst of the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression, the Company’s defense, domestic fire apparatus and airports products businesses delivered strong results, partially offsetting the downturns experienced in its other businesses.  During fiscal 2009, the Company took numerous actions to address the impact of the Great Recession and credit crisis on its businesses and aggressively pursued new business.  These actions, coupled with major defense contract wins, have significantly improved the Company’s outlook for fiscal 2010.

 

As order intake for a number of its businesses deteriorated in fiscal 2009, the Company initiated additional cost reductions beyond actions taken in fiscal 2008 to partially offset the earnings impact of lower demand.  These actions included significant reductions in staffing, salary cuts for all domestic salaried employees, elimination of 401(k) contribution matches for most employees, periodic furloughs for a large percentage of employees and additional reductions in other discretionary spending.  The Company also dramatically reduced capital spending.  Late in fiscal 2009, as a result of an improved financial outlook for fiscal 2010, the Company restored a portion of the compensation adjustments for those employees subject to reductions.

 

Due largely to the downturn in the Company’s businesses with exposure to construction markets, the Company amended its credit agreement in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 to avoid a potential financial covenant violation.  The amendment provided additional room under the financial covenants for the remainder of the term of the credit agreement.  In exchange for the changes to the financial covenants, the Company incurred significant up-front fees and increased interest spreads for the remaining term of the agreement.  The Company also agreed, among other things, to limitations on capital expenditures, dividends, investments and acquisitions.  The Company’s Board of Directors subsequently elected to suspend the payment of dividends.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company also determined that goodwill and other long-lived assets were impaired at certain of the Company’s reporting units, with the vast majority of the impairments concentrated in the access equipment segment.  This determination was based upon a sustained decline in the price of the Company’s Common Stock subsequent to the Company’s fiscal 2008 year end when its share price approximated book value, depressed order rates during the second quarter, which historically has been a strong period for orders in advance of the North American construction season, as well as further deterioration in credit markets and the macro-economic environment.  Following the completion of the impairment assessment, which was performed with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $1.19 billion in continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  These charges were driven by current projections and valuation assumptions that reflected the Company’s belief that the current recession would be deeper and longer than previously expected, that credit markets would remain tight and

 

5



 

that costs of capital had risen significantly since the Company last performed its annual impairment testing.  Despite the requirement to record this impairment charge, the Company continues to believe the long-term prospects for its businesses remain strong.

 

In June 2009, the DoD awarded the Company a sole source contract for 2,244 M-ATVs and associated aftermarket parts packages, valued at $1.06 billion.  Through November 18, 2009, the DoD awarded the Company an additional 3,975 M-ATVs and associated aftermarket parts packages, valued at $2.23 billion.  Unit deliveries under the contract are scheduled through April 2010, with aftermarket parts packages to be delivered through May 2010.  Key attributes of the M-ATV include superior survivability and mobility required for the current conflict in Afghanistan.  The M-ATV represents the Company’s first major entry into the market for vehicles used in small unit combat operations.

 

In fiscal 2009, the Company received orders totaling $195 million to retrofit approximately 2,400 MRAP vehicles originally manufactured by other companies for the DoD with the Company’s patented TAK-4 independent suspension system.  The Company is actively supporting the engineering and testing for retrofit installation of TAK-4 under other MRAP models that could lead to additional TAK-4 sales in the future.

 

In August 2009, the Company completed a public equity offering of 14,950,000 shares of Common Stock, which included the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option of 1,950,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $25.00 per share.  The Company paid $15.1 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $0.6 million of offering expenses.  The net proceeds of the equity offering of approximately $358.1 million, along with cash flow from operations, allowed the Company to repay $731.6 million of debt in fiscal 2009, which substantially strengthened the Company’s capital structure.

 

In August 2009, the DoD awarded the Company a contract valued at $280.9 million for the production and delivery of 2,571 trucks and trailers under the U.S. Army’s FMTV Rebuy program.  The FMTV Rebuy program is a five-year requirements contract award for the production of up to 23,000 medium-payload tactical trucks and trailers as well as support services and engineering.  Competitors have filed protests with the GAO regarding the award of the FMTV contract, and the DoD has issued a stop work order on the program pending resolution of the protests, which is expected to occur in mid-December 2009.  The Company believes the U.S. Army conducted a fair and objective source selection process and further believes that the contract award to the Company should be upheld.  This contract would represent a significant expansion of the Company’s medium-payload tactical truck business.

 

While not providing specific quantitative guidance for fiscal 2010, the Company expects fiscal 2010 financial results to be solidly profitable and significantly improved as compared to fiscal 2009.  The Company expects significant sales growth in fiscal 2010 in the defense segment due largely to the significant quantity of M-ATVs ordered by the DoD for delivery in fiscal 2010.  The Company expects minimal FMTV sales volume in fiscal 2010 as deliveries of significant quantities of vehicles under this contract are not scheduled until early in fiscal 2011, assuming a successful resolution of the protests.  The Company is incurring costs on the FMTV program during the protest phase so that it is ready to move forward quickly if, as the Company expects, the GAO denies the protests.  The Company does not expect to sustain the margins it experienced in its defense segment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 in fiscal 2010 as the Company does not expect the reoccurrence of a LIFO inventory benefit.  In addition, the Company expects an adverse sales mix and increased investment in future business opportunities to more than offset the absorption benefits of increased volume.  Sales in the Company’s access equipment segment remain soft, and the Company does not expect a significant change in this market until fiscal 2011.  The Company expects that margins on JLG’s traditional access equipment business will improve in fiscal 2010 due to the expectation that charges for increased bad debt reserves and restructuring costs, along with the impact from higher material costs in inventory, will not be as significant in the segment as they were in fiscal 2009.  The access equipment segment will also benefit in fiscal 2010 from M-ATV production volume.  The Company expects lower sales in its fire & emergency segment in fiscal 2010 as a result of ongoing municipal spending weakness due to the impact of the recession on tax receipts.  However, this segment is traditionally the Company’s least cyclical, and the Company believes that the percentage decrease in its sales for fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 will be significantly less than the Company experienced in the access equipment and commercial segments in fiscal 2009.  The Company believes that its concrete placement products businesses will remain soft in fiscal 2010 until a modest pickup that the Company expects to begin in the middle of calendar 2010.  The Company estimates that refuse collection vehicle sales will be flat to up modestly in fiscal 2010 due to the timing of deliveries for certain large national waste haulers in fiscal 2010.

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

 

Consolidated net sales decreased 23.6% to $5.25 billion in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease in sales was a result of unprecedented reductions in the Company’s access equipment segment sales and continued reductions in the Company’s commercial segment sales as a result of the global recession and credit crisis.  These decreases were partially offset by increased sales in the Company’s defense and domestic fire apparatus businesses.

 

Defense segment net sales increased 37.2% to $2.59 billion in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.  The increase was attributable to higher sales of heavy-payload tactical vehicles and parts & service sales to fulfill the continuing requirements of the Company’s largest customer, the DoD.  Sales of new and remanufactured heavy-payload tactical vehicles to the U.S. Army were up significantly in fiscal 2009 compared to the prior year.  Defense segment sales in fiscal 2009 also benefited from the sale and installation of reducible-height armor kits for MTVR trucks for the U.S. Marine Corps and the sale of TAK-4 independent suspension systems to third-party MRAP vehicle original equipment manufacturers.

 

Access equipment net sales decreased 63.1% to $1.14 billion in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.  Sales reflected substantially lower demand globally arising from recessionary economies and tight credit markets.  European, African and Middle East and North American new machine sales each declined approximately 75% in fiscal 2009, while the rest of world equipment sales were down about 45%.  Access equipment sales in fiscal 2009 included $86.7 million of intercompany sales to the defense segment related to the M-ATV program.

 

Fire & emergency segment net sales decreased 0.6% to $1.13 billion in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.  Increased shipments of domestic fire apparatus as well as a favorable sales mix in the segment’s airport products business offset in part lower sales in other businesses in this segment.  Lower sales in fiscal 2009 were driven by weak demand for towing & recovery equipment as a result of the global recession and the inability of end customers to obtain adequate financing and a shift in component production from the fire & emergency segment to the commercial segment.

 

7



 

Commercial segment net sales declined 29.3% to $0.59 billion in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.  The decrease in sales was largely the result of a 60.4% decline in sales of concrete placement products due to continued weakness in U.S. residential and nonresidential construction activity, and a 15.0% decrease in refuse collection vehicle sales.  The decline in refuse collection vehicle sales was primarily the result of lower international sales as well as the timing of deliveries to large fleet customers.  This was offset in part by a shift in component production from the fire & emergency segment to the commercial segment.

 

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

 

Consolidated net sales increased 12.9% to $6.88 billion in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.  The inclusion of JLG in the results for the entire fiscal year in 2008 as compared to only ten months in fiscal 2007, strong access equipment sales in Europe, significantly higher defense sales and favorable foreign currency exchange rates drove the increase in consolidated net sales.

 

Defense segment net sales increased 33.6% to $1.89 billion in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.  The increase was attributable to an increase in sales of new and remanufactured trucks, as well as higher parts & service sales.  Sales of new and remanufactured trucks were up 32.3% versus the prior year as an increase in sales of new and remanufactured heavy-payload trucks was partially offset by a decrease in medium-payload truck sales and international truck sales.  Parts & service sales increased nearly 40% in fiscal 2008 on significantly higher armor kit shipments and service work.

 

Access equipment net sales increased 21.5% to $3.09 billion in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.  The increase was driven by the inclusion of JLG sales for the entire year compared to the Company’s ownership for ten months in the prior year period and significantly stronger demand for aerial work platforms outside North America.  Favorable foreign currency exchange rates also increased sales by $130.0 million.  These increases were offset in part by lower demand in North America in fiscal 2008 compared to the prior year as a result of slowing non-residential construction markets.  Access equipment sales in the prior year represented sales of JLG from December 6, 2006, the date of acquisition, through the end of the fiscal year.

 

Fire & emergency segment net sales increased 3.8% to $1.13 billion in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.  The increase in sales reflected higher domestic fire apparatus sales as a result of continued market share gains and higher airport product sales, due partially to higher international sales, offset in part by weaker demand for towing equipment as well as mobile medical trailers and broadcast vehicles.  The towing equipment vehicle market was negatively impacted by lower demand as a result of rising fuel prices and uncertainty in the U.S. economy.  A reduction in medical reimbursement rates by the U.S. government to providers of mobile medical imaging services had a negative effect on sales of mobile medical trailers, and during the first half of fiscal 2008, a writers’ strike reducing television networks’ advertising revenues negatively impacted the broadcast vehicle market.

 

Commercial segment net sales decreased 22.7% to $0.84 billion in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.  The decrease was largely the result of lower domestic concrete placement product sales in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 due to a slowdown in U.S. residential construction and low volume subsequent to the pre-buy ahead of the January 2007 diesel engine emissions standards changes.

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

 

The Company incurred a consolidated operating loss of $979.5 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to operating income of $617.4 million in fiscal 2008.  The operating loss in fiscal 2009 was driven by $1.19 billion of pre-tax, non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets.  Sharply lower sales volume in the access equipment and commercial segments also contributed to the decrease in operating results in fiscal 2009.

 

In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350-20, Goodwill, the Company reviews goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if potential interim indicators exist that could result in impairment.  At February 28, 2009, given the sustained decline in the price of the Company’s Common Stock subsequent to the Company’s fiscal 2008 year end when its share price approximated book value, depressed order rates during the second quarter which historically has been a strong period for orders in advance of the North American construction season, as well as further deterioration in credit markets and the macro-economic environment, the Company determined that the appropriate triggers had been reached to perform additional impairment testing on goodwill and its long-lived intangible assets.  Accordingly, the Company conducted an assessment of the fair values of the Company’s reporting units.  The results of that assessment indicated that impairment charges to the values of goodwill and other long-lived assets were required in the Company’s access equipment, fire & emergency and commercial segments.

 

Defense segment operating income increased 52.1% to $403.3 million, or 15.5% of sales, in fiscal 2009 compared to $265.2 million, or 14.0% of sales, in fiscal 2008.  The increase in operating income as a percent of sales compared to fiscal 2008 reflected better absorption of fixed costs, lower material costs, improved performance on service work and favorable LIFO inventory adjustments of $8.7 million as compared with a charge of $5.7 million in fiscal 2008.

 

The access equipment segment incurred an operating loss of $1,105.6 million, including $892.5 million in pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and other long-lived assets, in fiscal 2009 compared to operating income of $360.1 million in fiscal 2008.  In addition to the non-cash impairment charges, the decline in operating income was due to the impact of sharply lower sales volume, sale of units comprised of higher cost materials purchased in fiscal 2008 when steel costs were high, and an increase in the provision for credit losses.  The impact of these factors was reduced by lower operating expenses as a result of aggressive cost reduction efforts.

 

The fire & emergency segment incurred an operating loss of $2.3 million, including $113.4 million in pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and other long-lived assets, in fiscal 2009 compared to operating income of $96.4 million in fiscal 2008.  The impairment charges more than offset otherwise favorable operating results for the segment due to a favorable product mix and improved performance at the Company’s domestic fire apparatus and airport product businesses as well as lower operating expenses throughout the segment as a result of cost reduction initiatives.

 

The commercial segment incurred an operating loss in fiscal 2009 of $183.7 million, including $184.3 million in pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and other long-lived assets, compared to operating income of $4.7 million in fiscal 2008.  The decrease in operating results was the result of the non-cash impairment charges and the impact of sharply lower concrete placement products sales volume, offset in part by reductions in operating expenses due to cost reduction efforts and a LIFO inventory benefit of $5.9 million due to significant reductions in inventory levels.

 

Corporate operating expenses and inter-segment profit elimination decreased $17.8 million to $91.2 million in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 largely due to focused cost reduction efforts, including lower outside professional services, travel and recruiting costs.

 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $52.6 million to $430.3 million, or 8.2% of sales, in fiscal 2009 compared to $482.9 million, or 7.0% of sales, in fiscal 2008 as a result of focused cost reduction efforts, including reductions in staffing, salary reductions and furloughs, the elimination of 401(k) contribution matches and other cost reductions.  Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2009 included provisions for credit losses of $50.0 million, or 0.9% of sales, compared to $0.6 million in fiscal 2008, with the increase in provisions principally concentrated in the access equipment segment due to the effects of the global recession on the financial health of its customers and due to reductions in the underlying collateral value of the equipment.

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

 

Consolidated operating income increased 1.1% to $617.4 million, or 9.0% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $610.5 million, or 10.0% of sales, in fiscal 2007.  The increase in operating income in fiscal 2008 was principally due to the inclusion of JLG for the entire fiscal year and favorable results in the defense segment as a result of higher sales, offset in part by a decrease in operating income in the commercial segment due to a drop in concrete placement product sales, lower operating performance for certain operating units within the fire & emergency segment as a result of lower sales and higher corporate costs.

 

Defense segment operating income increased 8.2% to $265.2 million, or 14.0% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $245.0 million, or 17.3% of sales, in fiscal 2007.  The decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales during fiscal 2008 reflected a higher mix of lower-margin truck sales, lower negotiated margins on the FHTV contract and inefficiencies on the start-up of a contract, offset in part by the reduction of a warranty reserve upon the expiration of a systemic warranty.

 

Access equipment segment operating income increased 34.1% to $360.1 million, or 11.7% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $268.4 million, or 10.6% of sales, in fiscal 2007.  Operating income margins in the prior year were negatively affected by the timing of the JLG acquisition just prior to JLG’s seasonal holiday shut-down and charges of $14.0 million related to the revaluation of inventory at the acquisition date of JLG.  In addition, operating income for fiscal 2008 benefited from favorable foreign currency exchange rates and a favorable product and customer mix.

 

Fire & emergency segment operating income decreased 11.4% to $96.4 million, or 8.5% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $108.9 million, or 10.0% of sales, in fiscal 2007.  The decrease in both operating income and operating income margin was the result of softness in the towing equipment market and adverse product mix as well as operating losses at OSV, the Company’s domestic mobile medical trailer and broadcast vehicle business.

 

Commercial segment operating income decreased 93.8% to $4.7 million, or 0.6% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $76.5 million, or 7.1% of sales, in fiscal 2007.  Operating income performance was negatively impacted by significantly lower domestic concrete mixer sales as a result of a slowdown in the U.S. residential construction market combined with lower unit volumes subsequent to the pre-buy ahead of the January 2007 diesel engine emissions standards changes.

 

Corporate operating expenses and inter-segment profit eliminations increased $20.7 million to $109.0 million, or 1.6% of consolidated sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $88.3 million, or 1.4% of consolidated sales, in fiscal 2007.  The increase was largely due to higher personnel costs and additional information technology spending to support the Company’s growth objectives and the reduction of litigation expense reserves in the prior year period.

 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19.0% to $482.9 million, or 7.0% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $405.8 million, or 6.7% of sales, in the prior year due largely to inclusion of JLG for a full twelve months in fiscal 2008.  Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased largely due to increased corporate expenses.

 

Non-Operating Income — Three Years Ended September 30, 2009

 

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

 

Interest expense net of interest income increased $2.9 million to $207.5 million in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 on lower average outstanding debt, as a result of higher interest rates after the effective date of an amendment of the Company’s Credit Agreement.  In March 2009, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to provide additional room under its financial covenants to address lower earnings as a result of the impact of the global recession and tight credit markets.  In connection with this amendment, interest rate spreads were increased significantly.  See “Liquidity” and Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the amendment to the Credit Agreement.

 

Other miscellaneous income of $8.8 million in fiscal 2009 related primarily to net foreign currency transaction gains.

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

 

Interest expense net of interest income increased $10.1 million to $204.6 million in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007, largely as a result of interest on borrowings incurred in connection with the JLG acquisition for a full year in fiscal 2008 compared to approximately ten months in the prior fiscal year.

 

Other miscellaneous loss of $9.0 million in fiscal 2008 related primarily to net foreign currency transaction losses.

 

(Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes — Three Years Ended September 30, 2009

 

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

 

The Company recorded a $12.6 million tax benefit in fiscal 2009, or 1.1% of pre-tax losses, compared to tax expense of $121.2 million, or 30.0% of pre-tax earnings, for fiscal 2008.  The expected tax benefit for fiscal 2009, at the U.S. federal rate of 35%, of $412.4 million was reduced by the tax effect of non-deductible impairment charges of $394.0 million and by $17.3 million related to the reduction in accrued benefits previously recorded under a European tax incentive due to losses incurred during the period, offset in part by a worthless stock deduction and other tax benefits.

 

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

 

The effective income tax rate for fiscal 2008 was 30.0% compared to 33.1% in fiscal 2007.  The fiscal 2008 effective tax rate was positively impacted by a European tax incentive which benefited the effective rate by 5.2 percentage points.  Increased benefits of the domestic manufacturing deduction was more than offset by lower research and development tax credits due to the expiration of the credit in December 2007.

 

Equity in (Losses) Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates — Three Years Ended September 30, 2009

 

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

 

The Company recorded on after-tax loss of $1.4 million related to equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in fiscal 2009 compared to $6.3 million of income in fiscal 2008.  The Company has equity interests in a lease financing partnership, a commercial entity in Mexico and a joint venture in Europe.  Earnings for these entities decreased due to lower financing activity and increased credit losses due to the impact of the global recession.

 

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

 

Equity in after-tax earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $6.3 million in fiscal 2008 and $7.3 million in fiscal 2007 primarily represent the Company’s equity interest in a lease financing partnership, a commercial entity in Mexico and a joint venture in Europe.

 

Analysis of Discontinued Operations — Three Years Ended September 30, 2009

 

In July 2009, the Company completed the sale of its ownership in Geesink to a third party for nominal cash consideration.  Geesink, a European refuse collection vehicle manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s commercial segment.  Due to the reclassification of $92.0 million of cumulative translation adjustments out of equity, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of Geesink of $33.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.  In October 2009, the Company sold its 75% ownership interest in BAI to BAI’s management team for nominal cash consideration.  BAI, a European fire apparatus manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s fire & emergency segment.  The historical results of operations of Geesink and BAI have been reclassified in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operation and are included in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations,” for all periods presented.

 

11



 

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

 

Sales related to discontinued operations were $180.2 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of 30.9% as compared to the prior year.  The decrease in sales related to discontinued operations in fiscal 2009 as compared with fiscal 2008 was primarily related to the inclusion of Geesink sales for nine months in fiscal 2009 versus twelve months in fiscal 2008 as a result of the sale of that business in July 2009.  Discontinued operations sustained an operating loss of $26.7 million in fiscal 2009 compared to an operating loss of $211.1 million in fiscal 2008.  In fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets of $9.6 million and $174.2 million, respectively, related to discontinued operations.  These charges were largely non-deductible for local tax purposes.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company made a “check-the-box” election to treat its foreign subsidiary, the European holding company parent of Geesink and BAI, as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  As a result of the election, the Company recorded a $71.5 million worthless stock and bad debt income tax benefit, of which $61.0 million has been recorded in discontinued operations.

 

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

 

Sales related to discontinued operations were $260.6 million in fiscal 2008, up 19.9% as compared to the prior year, due largely to stronger demand for refuse collection vehicles in The Netherlands and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.  Discontinued operations sustained an operating loss of $211.1 million in fiscal 2008 compared with an operating loss of $20.2 million in fiscal 2007.  The increase in the operating loss was primarily due to non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets of $174.2 million, costs associated with the rationalization of manufacturing facilities, inefficiencies associated with the relocation and start-up of production of Norba-branded products from Sweden to The Netherlands and increased material and warranty costs.  In June 2008, it became evident that synergies related to Geesink’s facility rationalization program would be lower than expected and costs to execute the rationalization would be higher than anticipated.  The resulting slower than expected and more difficult return to profitability of Geesink’s business, further escalation of raw material costs and a reduction in fabrication volume for the Company’s access equipment segment at Geesink’s Romania facility due to a slowdown in the European access equipment market led to the Company’s conclusion that the charges for impairment were required.  With the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, the Company determined that Geesink goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets were impaired and the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $174.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Debt decreased $735.8 million during fiscal 2009 as the Company utilized cash flows from operations and the proceeds from a public equity offering in August 2009 to pay down outstanding debt.  The decrease in Oshkosh Corporation shareholders’ equity was primarily the result of $1.19 billion of pre-tax, non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, offset in part by the proceeds from the Company’s public equity offering in August 2009.

The Company entered into a performance-based payments agreement on the M-ATV program during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.  This resulted in a significant cash payment to the Company near the end of the fiscal year which contributed to cash on hand of $530.4 million at September 30, 2009.  In October 2009, the Company prepaid $117.7 million of debt (all remaining outstanding Term Loan A debt) and utilized much of its cash as of September 30, 2009 to pay M-ATV suppliers.

 

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Company had $515.9 million of unused available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in “Liquidity”) as of September 30, 2009.  Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility could, as discussed below, be limited by the financial covenants contained within the Credit Agreement.

 

Cash Flows

 

Operating Cash Flows

 

The Company generated $898.9 million of cash from operating activities during fiscal 2009 compared to $390.4 million for fiscal 2008.  While the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations in fiscal 2009 compared to income in fiscal 2008, the loss resulted from non-cash impairment charges.  The higher generation of cash from operating activities in fiscal 2009 was the result of a substantial reduction in working capital, particularly related to trade accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and customer advances.  The changes in receivables, inventories and accounts payable were primarily driven by the decrease in sales during fiscal 2009 versus fiscal 2008.  A significant increase in customer advances in fiscal 2009 was due to the timing of performance-based payments from the U.S. government on the FHTV contract awarded in October 2008 and, more significantly, the M-ATV contract awarded in June 2009.  In September 2009, after receipt of a M-ATV performance-based payment, the Company prepaid a supplier $100.0 million for inventory deliveries scheduled to occur beginning in early fiscal 2010.  The prepayment is recorded within “Other current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s cash flow from operations has fluctuated, and will likely continue to fluctuate significantly, from quarter to quarter, due to the start-up or conclusion of large defense contracts and the timing of receipt of individually large performance-based payments from the DoD, as well as changes in working capital requirements arising principally from seasonal fluctuations in sales.

 

Consolidated days sales outstanding decreased to 33 days at September 30, 2009 from 43 days at September 30, 2008 as a result of a higher proportion of consolidated sales concentrated in segments with shorter payment terms, offset in part by a 18-day deterioration in days sales outstanding in the access equipment segment, which was driven in part by the granting of longer payment terms on new sales for competitive reasons.  Consolidated inventory turns decreased from 5.0 times at September 30, 2008 to 4.3 times at September 30, 2009 largely as a result of access equipment segment sales declining at a faster pace than inventory.

Investing Cash Flows

 

Cash flows relating to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures.  Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2009 was $56.1 million compared to $100.2 million in fiscal 2008.  Capital spending, excluding equipment held for rental, of $46.2 million in fiscal 2009 was down $29.6 million compared to capital spending in fiscal 2008.  In fiscal 2009, the Company sharply curtailed capital spending in response to the global recession.  In fiscal 2010, the Company expects capital spending to increase to approximately $90 to $100 million as it continues to invest in the M-ATV production ramp-up, the JLG manufacturing facility in China, and as it prepares for FMTV full rate production in fiscal 2011.

 

Financing Cash Flows

 

Financing activities consists primarily of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and equity and cash used by financing activities consists primarily of repayments of indebtedness and payments of dividends to shareholders.  Financing activities resulted in a net use of cash of $408.1 million during fiscal 2009 compared to $273.6 million during fiscal 2008.

 

On August 12, 2009, the Company completed a public equity offering of 14,950,000 shares of Common Stock, which included the exercise of the over-allotment option of 1,950,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $25.00 per share.  The Company paid $15.1 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $0.6 million of offering expenses.  The Company used the $358.1 million in net proceeds from the offering to repay debt under the Company’s credit agreement.

 

The Company repaid $731.6 million of debt in fiscal 2009 compared to $250.0 million in fiscal 2008.  In addition, the Company incurred $20.1 million of debt amendment costs and paid dividends totaling $14.9 million in fiscal 2009.  The Company suspended dividend payments in April 2009 resulting in a $14.9 million reduction in cash used for dividend payments in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are the cash flow generated from operations, availability under the $550.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and available cash and cash equivalents.  In addition to cash and cash equivalents of $530.4 million, the Company had $515.9 million of unused availability under the terms of its Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2009.  These sources of liquidity are needed to fund the Company’s working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures.  Based on the Company’s current outlook for fiscal 2010, the Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to finance its operations over the next twelve months.

 

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

 

In December 2006, the Company entered into a syndicated senior secured credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions, which consisted of a five-year $550.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) and two term loan facilities (“Term Loan A” and “Term Loan B,” and collectively, the “Term Loan Facility”).  In March 2009, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to provide relief under its Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) financial covenant.  The Company believed that the Amendment was required to avoid a potential financial covenant violation at the end of its second quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of lower demand for certain of the Company’s products due to continued weakening in the global economy and tight credit.  The Amendment also included an increase in the margin on LIBOR loans to 600 basis points, compared with 150 basis points immediately prior to the Amendment, and a requirement that the Company prepay $14.5 million and $86.0 million of debt related to Term Loan A and Term Loan B, respectively.  The Amendment also involved other changes to the Credit Agreement, including placing limitations on capital expenditures, dividends, investments and acquisitions, an increase in the frequency of mandatory prepayments, adding a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and requiring the grant of mortgage liens on certain real estate owned by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

 

The Amendment also added a usage fee equal to an annualized rate of 50 basis points on the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement for any day on which the Company has a corporate family rating from Moody’s Investors Service of B3 with “negative” watch or lower or a corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services of B- with “negative” watch or lower.  The Company’s credit ratings are reviewed regularly by these major debt rating agencies.  In January 2009, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services lowered the Company’s long-term debt rating from BB-

 

14



 

to B and credit watch “negative” citing weaker-than-expected operating results and the Company’s need to seek an amendment of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.  Likewise, in January 2009, Moody’s Investors Service lowered the Company’s long-term debt rating from Ba3 to B2 with ratings under review for possible downgrade pending resolution of the negotiations with its banks, citing expectations of further erosion in the Company’s credit metrics due to the deterioration in several of the Company’s businesses, particularly the access equipment segment.  In March 2009, following the Amendment, both Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service lowered the Company’s long-term debt ratings to “negative” outlook.  In August 2009, following the Company’s Common Stock offering and award of the M-ATV contract, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services upgraded the Company’s long-term debt rating to B+ with a “stable” outlook citing improved covenant headroom and good near-term prospects for the Company’s defense segment.

 

The Company accounted for the Amendment in accordance with ASC Topic 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments.  As the terms of the Credit Agreement both prior to and after the Amendment allowed for the prepayment of the amounts due without a penalty, the Company determined that the debt was callable on the date of the Amendment.  As such, the present value of the cash flows both prior to and after the Amendment was not determined to be substantially different.  Accordingly, fees of $20.1 million paid by the Company to the parties to the Credit Agreement were capitalized in connection with the Amendment, along with the existing unamortized debt fees, and will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement using the interest method.  Furthermore, in accordance with ASC Topic 470-50, costs incurred with third parties of $0.5 million were expensed as incurred.

 

Term Loan A required principal payments of $12.5 million, plus interest, due quarterly from December 2009 through September 2011, with a final principal payment of $248.0 million due December 6, 2011.  As a result of excess available cash, through September 30, 2009, the Company prepaid all of the quarterly principal payments related to Term Loan A as well as $130.3 million of the final principal payment under Term Loan A.  The remaining outstanding balance under Term Loan A of $117.7 million at September 30, 2009 was prepaid in full in October 2009.  The outstanding balance under Term Loan B at September 30, 2009 of $1,902.6 million is due December 6, 2013.

 

Interest rates on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility are variable and are equal to the “Base Rate” (which is equal to the higher of a bank’s reference rate and the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, a bank’s “Prime Rate” or the sum of 1.0% plus the “Off-Shore” rate that would be applicable for an interest period of one month beginning on such day) or the “Off-Shore” or “LIBOR Rate” (which is a bank’s inter-bank offered rate for U.S. dollars in off-shore markets) plus a specified margin.  The margins on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A are subject to adjustment, up or down, based on whether certain financial criteria are met.  At September 30, 2009, the interest rate spread on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility was 600 basis points.  The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2009 was 6.60% and 6.42% for Term Loans A and B, respectively.

 

To manage a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement on January 11, 2007 that effectively fixes the interest payments on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt.  The swap, which has a termination date of December 6, 2011, effectively fixes the LIBOR-based interest rate on the debt in the amount of the notional amount of the swap at 5.105% plus the applicable spread based on the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended (11.105% at September 30, 2009).  The notional amount of the swap at September 30, 2009 was $1.25 billion and reduces to $750 million on December 7, 2009 and $250 million on December 6, 2010.  Neither the Company nor the counterparty is required to collateralize its obligations under these swaps.  The Company is exposed to loss if the counterparty defaults.  However, as of the date of this filing, the counterparty is a large Aa1 rated global financial institution and the Company believes that the risk of default is remote.

 

Covenant Compliance

 

The Credit Agreement, as amended, contains various restrictions and covenants, including restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness and dispose of assets.  The Credit Agreement, as amended, also requires the Company to maintain the following financial ratios:

September 30, 2013

 

3.00 to 1.0

 

 

The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio limitation is not applicable until June 30, 2011.

 

The Credit Agreement, as amended, limits the amount of dividends, stock repurchases and other types of distributions during any fiscal year in excess of certain limits based upon the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the fiscal quarter preceding the proposed distribution.  When the Leverage Ratio as of the end of a fiscal quarter is greater than 4.0 to 1.0, then no such distribution may be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, the aggregate amount of all such payments made in such fiscal quarter would exceed the sum of $0.01 per outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock plus $250,000 or the aggregate amount of all such payments made in the applicable fiscal year would exceed $3.85 million.  The Company suspended payment of dividends effective April 2009.

 

Based on the Company’s current outlook for fiscal 2010, the Company expects to be able to meet the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement over the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company considers the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition:  The Company recognizes revenue on equipment and parts sales when contract terms are met, collectability is reasonably assured and a product is shipped or risk of ownership has been transferred to and accepted by the customer.  Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned, when services have been rendered.  Appropriate provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances.  Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer such as excise or value-added taxes.

 

Sales to the U.S. government of non-commercial products manufactured to the government’s specifications are recognized using the units-of-delivery measure under the percentage-of-completion accounting method as units are accepted by the government.  The Company includes amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items in sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable.  The Company charges anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress to earnings when identified.

 

The Company accounts for certain equipment lease contracts as sales-type leases.  The present value of all payments, net of executory costs (such as legal fees), is recorded as revenue, the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales, certain profit is deferred in accordance with lease accounting rules and interest income is recognized over the terms of the leases using the effective interest method.

 

The Company enters into rental purchase guarantee agreements with some of its customers. These agreements are normally for a term of no greater than twelve months and provide for rental payments with a guaranteed purchase at the end of the agreement. At the inception of the agreement, the Company records the full amount due under the agreement as revenue and the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales.

 

Sales Incentives:  The terms for sales transactions with some of the Company’s distributors and customers may include specific volume-based incentives, which are calculated and paid or credited on account as a percentage of actual sales.  The Company accounts for these incentives as sales discounts at the time of revenue recognition, which are recorded as a direct reduction of sales. The Company reviews its accrual for sales incentives on a quarterly basis and any adjustments are reflected in current earnings.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived and Amortized Intangible Assets:  The Company performs impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, whenever business conditions or events indicate that those assets may be impaired.  When the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the assets are written down to fair market value and a charge is recorded to current operations.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets:  Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.  The Company performs its annual review at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimating the future discounted cash flows of the businesses to which the goodwill relates.  Estimated cash flows and related goodwill are grouped at the reporting unit level.  A reporting unit is an operating segment or, under certain circumstances, a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business.  When estimated future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the net assets and related goodwill, an impairment test is performed to measure and recognize the amount of the impairment loss, if any.  Impairment losses, limited to the carrying value of goodwill, represent the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill.  In determining the estimated future cash flows, the Company considers current and projected future levels of income as well as business trends, prospects and market and economic conditions.

 

18



 

The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain events that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Such events may include, but are not limited to, the impact of the economic environment, a material negative change in relationships with significant customers, or strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions.  See “Critical Accounting Estimates.”

 

Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others: The Company enters into agreements with finance companies whereby the Company will guarantee the indebtedness of third-party end-users to whom the finance company lends to purchase the Company’s equipment.  In some instances, the Company retains an obligation to the finance companies in the event the customer defaults on the financing.  In accordance with ASC Topic 460, Guarantees, the Company recognizes the greater of the fair value of the guarantee or the contingent liability required by ASC Topic 450, Contingencies.  Reserves are initially established related to these guarantees at the fair value of the guarantee based upon the Company’s understanding of the current financial position of the underlying customers and based on estimates and judgments made from information available at that time.  If the Company becomes aware of deterioration in the financial condition of the customer/borrower or of any impairment of the customer/borrower’s ability to make payments, additional allowances are considered.  Although the Company may be liable for the entire amount of a customer/borrower’s financial obligation under guarantees, its losses would generally be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral including financed equipment, the finance company’s inability to provide clear title of foreclosed equipment to the Company, loss pools established in accordance with the agreements and other conditions.  During periods of economic downturn, the value of the underlying collateral supporting these guarantees can decline sharply to further increase losses in the event of a customer/borrower’s default.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts and related disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Management of the Company has discussed the development and selection of the following critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s disclosures relating to such estimates in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to estimate a customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations.  The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is particularly critical in the Company’s access equipment segment where the majority of the Company’s trade receivables are recorded.  The Company evaluates the collectability of receivables based on a combination of factors.  In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.  Additional reserves are established based upon the Company’s perception of the quality of the current receivables, including the length of time the receivables are past due, past experience of collectability and underlying economic conditions.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required.

 

Goodwill:  In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair value of the reporting units.  The estimate of fair value of intangible assets is generally determined on the basis of discounted future cash flows.  The estimate of fair value of the reporting units is generally determined on the basis of discounted future cash flows supplemented by the market approach.  In estimating the fair value, management must make assumptions and projections regarding such items as future cash flows, future revenues, future earnings and other factors.  The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are generally consistent with the past performance of each reporting unit and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions that are used in current operating plans.  Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions.  The rate used to discount estimated cash flows is a rate corresponding to the Company’s cost of capital, adjusted for risk where appropriate, and is dependent upon interest rates at a point in time.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.  It is possible that assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner to cause further impairment of goodwill, which could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

At February 28, 2009, given the sustained decline in the price of the Company’s Common Stock subsequent to the Company’s fiscal 2008 year end when its share price approximated book value, depressed order rates during the second fiscal quarter which historically has been a strong period for orders in advance of the North American construction season, as well as further deterioration in credit markets and the macro-economic environment, the Company determined that the appropriate triggers had been reached to perform additional impairment testing on goodwill and its indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

To derive the fair value of its reporting units, the Company performed extensive valuation analyses with the assistance of a third-party valuation advisor, utilizing both income and market approaches.  Under the income approach, the Company determined fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Estimated future cash flows were based on the Company’s internal projection models, industry projections and other assumptions deemed reasonable by management.  The sum of the fair values of the reporting units was reconciled to the Company’s market capitalization as of February 28, 2009 plus an estimated control premium.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2009 impairment analysis, the Company used a weighted-average cost of capital of 14.5% and a terminal growth rate of 3%.  This resulted in a control premium of 67%, based upon the relatively low price of the Company’s Common Stock on February 28, 2009 of $6.26 per share.  Under the market approach, the Company derived the fair value of its reporting units based on revenue multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies.  Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results.

 

As a result of this analysis, $1,159.7 million of goodwill and $24.3 million of other long-lived intangible assets, including tradenames, technology and customer relationships, were written off within continuing operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  An increase in the discount rate of 50 basis points would have resulted in an additional impairment charge of approximately $100 million.  These charges were driven by current projections and valuation assumptions that reflected the Company’s belief that the current recession would be deeper and longer than previously expected, that credit markets would remain tight and that costs of capital had risen significantly since the Company last performed its annual impairment testing.

 

Throughout the third quarter of fiscal 2009, access equipment order rates remained very weak and did not reflect a normal seasonal uptick.  Further, during the quarter it became apparent to the Company that federal stimulus actions would not contribute to access equipment orders in the near term, that credit availability to the Company’s access equipment customers would continue to be constrained, that U.S. residential and nonresidential spending could remain at very low levels for an extended period beyond the Company’s previous estimates and that the global economic recovery would occur at a slower pace than previously expected.  These factors all contributed to the Company’s belief that this business would experience lower orders in fiscal 2010 and beyond than previously estimated.  As a result, the Company initiated actions to further reduce its costs in its access equipment segment, including reductions in workforce and plant closings.  The Company considered these factors together to be an indicator of potential impairment of goodwill in the access equipment reporting unit which comprises the entire access equipment segment.  The Company therefore performed a detailed Step 1 analysis of the access equipment segment utilizing a discounted cash flow model that employed a 14.5% discount rate and a terminal growth rate of 3%.  As a result of the Company’s receipt of a contract award and related large delivery order for M-ATVs from the DoD on June 30, 2009 and the Company’s decision to subcontract component manufacture and assembly of many M-ATVs to JLG, this model included expected cash flows related to this subcontract.  The resulting estimated fair value of JLG calculated in the impairment analysis was in excess of net book value of JLG. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that no additional impairment charge was required in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company performed its annual impairment review relative to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets (principally tradenames) utilizing a discounted cash flow model that employed a 14.5% discount rate and a terminal growth rate of 3%.  This resulted in a control premium of 59%, based on the price of the Company’s Common Stock on July 1, 2009 of $18.43 per share.  As a result of this testing, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1.4 million and $0.6 million for goodwill and tradenames, respectively, within the fire & emergency segment.  In addition, based on this analysis, the Company concluded that impairment charges were not required for any other reporting units.  Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the current recession.  Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.  For example, a discount rate of approximately 15% would have likely resulted in further impairment charges at JLG, OSV and IMT.

 

20



 

Approximately 85% of the Company’s recorded goodwill and purchased intangibles are concentrated in the access equipment segment.  The access equipment segment consists of only one reporting unit, JLG.  The estimated fair value of JLG calculated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 impairment analysis exceeded JLG’s net book value by approximately 4.0%.  The impairment model assumes that the U.S. economy and construction spending (and hence access equipment demand) will show marked improvement beginning in fiscal 2011.  Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the current recession.  Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.  A discount rate of approximately 15% would have resulted in the fair value of the access equipment segment being $20 million lower than its net book value.  For each 50 basis point increase in the discount rate above 15%, the fair value of the access equipment segment would decrease by approximately $95 million.  Furthermore, if the Company had used cash flows which were 5% lower than used in its impairment testing of goodwill, the fair value of the access equipment segment would be approximately $25 million lower than its net book value at September 30, 2009.  Events and conditions that could result in the impairment of intangibles at JLG include a further decline in economic conditions, a slower or weaker economic recovery than currently estimated by the Company or other factors leading to reductions in expected long-term sales or profitability at JLG.

 

Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others: The reserve for guarantees of the indebtedness of others requires management to estimate a customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations.  The estimate is particularly critical in the Company’s access equipment segment where the majority of the Company’s guarantees are granted.  The Company evaluates the reserve based on a combination of factors.  In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies.  In most cases, the financing company is required to provide clear title to the equipment under the financing program.  The Company considers the residual value of the equipment to reduce the amount of exposure.  Residual values are estimated based upon recent auctions, used equipment sales and periodic studies performed by a third-party.  Additional reserves, based upon historical loss percentages, are established at the time of sale of the equipment based upon the requirement of ASC Topic 460, Guarantees.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required.

 

Product Liability:  Due to the nature of the Company’s products, the Company is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business.  A substantial portion of these claims and lawsuits involve the Company’s access equipment, concrete placement and refuse collection vehicle businesses, while such lawsuits in the Company’s defense and fire & emergency businesses have historically been limited.  To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company maintains insurance to reduce or eliminate risk to the Company.  Most insurance coverage includes self-insured retentions that vary by business segment and by year. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was generally self-insured for future claims up to $3.0 million per claim.

 

The Company establishes product liability reserves for its self-insured retention portion of any known outstanding matters based on the likelihood of loss and the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate such loss.  There is inherent uncertainty as to the eventual resolution of unsettled matters due to the unpredictable nature of litigation.  The Company makes estimates based on available information and the Company’s best judgment after consultation with appropriate experts.  The Company periodically revises estimates based upon changes to facts or circumstances.  The Company also utilizes actuarial methodologies to calculate reserves required for estimated incurred but not reported claims as well as to estimate the effect of the adverse development of claims over time.

 

Warranty:  Sales of the Company’s products generally carry typical explicit manufacturers’ warranties based on terms that are generally accepted in the Company’s marketplaces.  The Company records provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty loss experience and periodically adjusts these provisions to reflect actual experience.  Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation.  At times, warranty issues arise that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience.  The Company provides for any such warranty issues as they become known and estimable.  It is reasonably possible that from time to time additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience.

 

The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from six months to five years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace.  Selected components included in the Company’s end products (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) may include manufacturers’ warranties.  These manufacturers’ warranties are generally

 

21



 

passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products and the customer would generally deal directly with the component manufacturer.

 

The Company’s policy is to record a liability for the expected cost of warranty-related claims at the time of the sale.  The amount of warranty liability accrued reflects management’s best estimate of the expected future cost of honoring the Company’s obligations under the warranty plans.  The Company believes that the warranty accounting estimate is a “critical accounting estimate” because changes in the warranty provision can materially affect net income; the estimate requires management to forecast estimated product usage levels by customers; in the case of new models, components or technology may be different, resulting in higher levels of warranty claims experience than with existing, mature products; and certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation.  The estimate for warranty obligations is a critical accounting estimate for each of the Company’s operating segments.

 

Historically, the cost of fulfilling the Company’s warranty obligations has principally involved replacement parts, labor and sometimes travel for any field retrofit campaigns.  Over the past three fiscal years, the Company’s warranty cost as a percentage of sales has ranged from 0.84% of sales to 0.90% of sales.  Warranty costs tend to be higher shortly after new product introductions, especially those introductions involving new technologies, when field warranty campaigns may be necessary to correct or retrofit certain items.  Accordingly, the Company must make assumptions about the number and cost of anticipated field warranty campaigns.  The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience, the extent of pre-production testing, the number of units involved and the extent of new features/components included in new product models.

 

Each quarter, the Company reviews actual warranty claims experience to determine if there are any systemic defects that would require a field campaign.  Also, based upon historical experience, warranty provision rates on new product introductions are established at higher than standard rates to reflect increased expected warranty costs associated with any new product introduction.

 

At times, warranty issues can arise which are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience.  If the estimate of warranty costs in fiscal 2009 increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the Company’s accrued warranty costs, costs of sales and operating income would each change by $26.3 million or 36.1%, 0.6% and 2.7%, respectively.

 

Benefit Plans:  The pension benefit obligation and related pension income are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits, and are impacted by certain actuarial assumptions, including the discount rate and the expected rate of return on plan assets.  These rates are evaluated on an annual basis considering such factors as market interest rates and historical asset performance. Actuarial valuations at September 30, 2009 used a weighted-average discount rate of 5.25% and an expected return on plan assets of 7.75%.  A 0.5% decrease in the discount rate would increase annual pension expense by $2.3 million.  A 0.5% decrease in the expected return on plan assets would increase the Company’s annual pension expense by $0.8 million.

 

The Company’s other postretirement benefits obligation and related expenses are calculated in accordance ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits, and are impacted by certain actuarial assumptions, including health care trend rates. An increase of one percentage point in health care costs would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $6.6 million and would increase the annual service and interest cost by $1.2 million.  A corresponding decrease of one percentage point would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $5.5 million and decrease the annual service and interest cost by $1.0 million.

 

The Company’s benefit plan assumptions are determined by using a benchmark approach as well as currently available actuarial data.

 

Income Taxes:  The Company records deferred income tax assets and liabilities for differences between the book basis and tax basis of the related net assets. The Company records a valuation allowance, when appropriate, to adjust deferred tax asset balances to the amount management expects to realize. Management considers, as applicable, the amount of taxable income available in carryback years, future taxable income and potential tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. The Company will require future taxable income in The Netherlands in order to fully realize the net deferred tax asset in that jurisdiction.

On October 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes).  ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition.  The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with ASC Topic 740 is a two-step process.  The first step is recognition, where the Company evaluates whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.  For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, zero tax benefit is recorded.  For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, the Company performs the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded.  The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates.  In future periods, changes in facts and circumstances and new information may require the Company to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions.  Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to uncertain tax positions totaling $63.8 million.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the impact of new accounting standards on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Customers and Backlog

 

Sales to the U.S. government comprised approximately 53% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2009.  No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales for this period.  A substantial majority of the Company’s net sales are derived from customer orders prior to commencing production.

 

The Company’s backlog as of September 30, 2009 increased 138.6% to $5,615.4 million compared to $2,353.8 million at September 30, 2008.  Defense segment backlog increased 307.2% to $4,883.8 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $1,199.2 million at September 30, 2008 due largely to the award of the M-ATV contract in June 2009, the renewal of the FHTV contract in October 2008, including a supplemental FHTV award in August 2009, and the award of the FMTV contract in August 2009.  The $266.8 million delivery order under the recently-awarded FMTV contract is under a government issued stop work order until resolution of protests filed with the GAO by the Company’s competitors under that competition.  Access equipment segment backlog decreased 70.2% to $98.3 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $330.0 million at September 30, 2008 due to the global recession and related impact on credit markets.  Access equipment backlog as of September 30, 2009 included $46.5 million relating to telehandler orders from the DoD.  Backlog figures reported for prior periods did not include amounts relating to telehandler orders from the DoD.  The amount of these DoD orders on hand, but not included in backlog, as of September 30, 2008 was $42.7 million.  Fire & emergency segment backlog decreased 11.8% to $558.7 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $633.2 million at September 30, 2008 due in part to weakening domestic municipal markets, the fulfillment of domestic fire apparatus orders in fiscal 2009 received in advance of price increases and new National Fire Protection Association standards that became effective January 1, 2009.  Fire & emergency segment backlog at September 30, 2009 included $49.7 million related to BAI.  BAI was sold in October 2009.  Commercial segment backlog decreased 61.0% to $74.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $191.4 million at September 30, 2008.  Backlog at September 30, 2008 included $70.7 million of backlog for Geesink.  Geesink was sold in July 2009.  Unit backlog for domestic refuse collection vehicles was down 32.4% compared to September 30, 2008 partly due to the timing of orders from several large waste haulers.  Unit backlogs for front-discharge and rear-discharge concrete mixers were down 54.5% and 77.2%, respectively, compared to September 30, 2008 as a result of continued weak construction markets in the U.S as a result of the global recession and related impact on credit markets.

 

Reported backlog excludes purchase options and announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed.  Additionally, backlog excludes unfunded portions of the FHTV, MTVR, ID/IQ, LVSR and FMTV contracts.  Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not be accurate indicators of future sales or the ratio of the Company’s future sales to the DoD versus its sales to other customers.  Approximately 10.8% of the Company’s September 30, 2009 backlog is not expected to be filled in fiscal 2010.

Financial Market Risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, certain commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates.  To reduce the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, the Company selectively uses financial instruments.  All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined policies and procedures, which strictly prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company’s earnings exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates is primarily derived from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to short-term market interest rates.  The Company, as needed, uses interest rate swaps to modify its exposure to interest rate movements.  In January 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to reduce the risk of interest rate changes associated with the Company’s variable rate debt issued to finance the acquisition of JLG.  The swap effectively fixes the variable portion of the interest rate on debt in the amount of the notional amount of the swap at 5.105% plus the applicable spread based on the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The notional amount of the swap at September 30, 2009 was $1.25 billion and reduces to $750 million on December 7, 2009 and $250 million on December 6, 2010.  The swap terminates on December 6, 2011.

 

The portion of the Company’s interest expense not effectively fixed in the interest rate swap remains sensitive to changes in the interest rates in the U.S. and off-shore markets.  In this regard, changes in U.S. and off-shore interest rates affect interest payable on the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Agreement.  A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the average cost of the Company’s variable rate debt, including outstanding swaps, would have resulted in a change in fiscal 2009 pre-tax interest expense of approximately $11.9 million.  These amounts are determined on an annual basis by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on average borrowings during fiscal 2009, after consideration of the interest rate swap.

For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates.  For interest rate swaps, the table presents the notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates.  Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract.  Weighted-average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date.

 

24



 

Commodity Price Risk

 

The Company is a purchaser of certain commodities, including steel, aluminum and composites.  In addition, the Company is a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, rubber and others which are integrated into the Company’s end products.  The Company generally buys these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process.  The Company does not use commodity financial instruments to hedge commodity prices.

 

The Company generally obtains firm quotations from its suppliers for a significant portion of its orders under firm, fixed-price contracts in its defense segment.  In the Company’s access equipment, fire & emergency and commercial segments, the Company generally attempts to obtain firm pricing from most of its suppliers, consistent with backlog requirements and/or forecasted annual sales.  To the extent that commodity prices increase and the Company does not have firm pricing from its suppliers, or its suppliers are not able to honor such prices, then the Company may experience margin declines to the extent it is not able to increase selling prices of its products.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

The Company’s operations consist of manufacturing in the U.S., Belgium, Canada, France, Australia and Romania and sales and limited vehicle body mounting activities on six continents.  International sales were approximately 15% of overall net sales in fiscal 2009, including approximately 10% that involved export sales from the U.S.  The majority of export sales in fiscal 2009 were denominated in U.S. dollars.  As a result of the manufacture and sale of the Company’s products in foreign markets, the Company’s earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar, as compared to foreign currencies in which certain of the Company’s transactions in foreign markets are denominated.  The Company’s operating results are principally exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the European currencies, primarily the Euro and the U.K. pound sterling, changes between the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar and changes between the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian real.  Through the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities, the Company seeks to minimize the risk that cash flows resulting from the sales of the Company’s products will be affected by changes in exchange rates.

 

The Company enters into certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the Company’s foreign currency exchange risk.  These contracts qualify as derivative instruments under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging; however, the Company has not designated all of these instruments as hedge transactions under ASC Topic 815.  Accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period to current earnings along with the offsetting foreign currency transaction gain/loss recognized on the related balance sheet exposure.  At September 30, 2009, the Company was managing $81.5 million (notional) of foreign currency contracts, all of which were not designated as accounting hedges and all of which settle within 60 days.

 

The following table quantifies outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts intended to hedge non-U.S. dollar denominated cash, receivables and payables and the corresponding impact on the value of these instruments assuming a 10% appreciation/depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies on September 30, 2009 (dollars in millions):

As previously noted, the Company’s policy prohibits the trading of financial instruments for speculative purposes or the use of leveraged instruments.  It is important to note that gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would be offset by gains and losses on the underlying receivables and payables.

ITEM 8.          FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Oshkosh Corporation

Oshkosh, Wisconsin

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oshkosh Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2009. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Table of Contents at Exhibit 99.1. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

 

As described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company adopted new accounting guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, on October 1, 2007.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.     Nature of Operations

 

Oshkosh Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), are leading manufacturers of a wide variety of specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies predominately for the North American and European markets.  “Oshkosh” refers to Oshkosh Corporation, not including its subsidiaries.  The Company sells its products into four principal vehicle markets — defense, access equipment, fire & emergency and commercial.  The defense business is conducted through the operations of Oshkosh.  The access equipment business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, JLG Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“JLG”).  JLG holds, along with an unaffiliated third-party, a 50% interest in a joint venture in The Netherlands, RiRent Europe, B.V. (“RiRent”).  The Company’s fire & emergency business is principally conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (“Pierce”), the airport products division of Oshkosh, JerrDan Corporation (“JerrDan”), Kewaunee Fabrications, LLC (“Kewaunee”), Medtec Ambulance Corporation (“Medtec”), and Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles, Inc., AK Specialty Vehicles B.V. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries (together “OSV”).  The Company’s commercial business is principally conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, McNeilus Companies, Inc. (“McNeilus”), Concrete Equipment Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“CON-E-CO”), London Machinery Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“London”), Iowa Mold Tooling Co, Inc. (“IMT”) and the commercial division of Oshkosh.  McNeilus is one of two general partners in Oshkosh/McNeilus Financial Services Partnership (“OMFSP”), which provides lease financing to the Company’s commercial customers.  McNeilus owns a 49% interest in Mezcladores Trailers de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Mezcladores”), which manufactures and markets concrete mixers, concrete batch plants and refuse collection vehicles in Mexico.

 

In July 2009, the Company completed the sale of its ownership in Geesink Group B.V., Geesink Norba Limited and Norba A. B. (collectively, “Geesink”).  Geesink, a European refuse collection vehicle manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s commercial segment.  In October 2009, the Company sold its 75% ownership interest in BAI Brescia Antincendi International S.r.l. (“BAI”) to the BAI management team.  BAI, a European fire apparatus manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s fire & emergency segment.  The historical operating results of these businesses have been reclassified and are now presented in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods.  See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the sales of Geesink and BAI.

 

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oshkosh and all of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The 25% historical book value of BAI at the date of acquisition and 25% of subsequent operating results related to that portion of BAI not owned by the Company have been reflected as noncontrolling interest in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively.  The Company accounts for its 50% voting interest in OMFSP and RiRent and its 49% interest in Mezcladores under the equity method.

 

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue on equipment and parts sales when contract terms are met, collectability is reasonably assured and a product is shipped or risk of ownership has been transferred to and accepted by the customer.  Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned when services have been rendered.  Appropriate provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances.  Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer such as excise or value-added taxes.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Sales to the U.S. government of non-commercial products manufactured to the government’s specifications are recognized using the units-of-delivery measure under the percentage-of-completion accounting method as units are accepted by the government.  The Company includes amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items in sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable.  The Company charges anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress to earnings when identified.  Bid and proposal costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs — Revenue received from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales.  Shipping and handling fee revenue was not significant for all periods presented.  Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

 

Warranty — Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded in cost of sales at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience.  The amount of warranty liability accrued reflects management’s best estimate of the expected future cost of honoring Company obligations under the warranty plans.  Historically, the cost of fulfilling the Company’s warranty obligations has principally involved replacement parts, labor and sometimes travel for any field retrofit campaigns.  The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience, the extent of pre-production testing, the number of units involved and the extent of features/components included in product models. Also, each quarter, the Company reviews actual warranty claims experience to determine if there are systemic defects that would require a field campaign.

 

Research and Development and Similar Costs — Except for customer sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts, research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included as part of cost of sales.  Research and development costs charged to continuing operations amounted to $72.7 million, $88.3 million and $73.3 million during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Customer sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts are accounted for as contract costs.

 

Advertising — Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expense and are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs charged to continuing operations totaled $11.7 million, $21.7 million and $16.3 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Environmental Remediation Costs — The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable.  The liabilities are developed based on currently available information and reflect the participation of other potentially responsible parties, depending on the parties’ financial condition and probable contribution.  The accruals are recorded at undiscounted amounts and are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable.  The accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change.

 

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the fair value provisions prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation.  Accordingly, compensation costs for stock options, restricted stock and performance shares are calculated based on the fair value of the instrument at the time of grant and are recognized as expense over the vesting period of the stock-based instrument.  See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Company’s stock-based incentive plan.

 

Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are provided to recognize temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates and laws.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Effective October 1, 2007, the Company adopted a new accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.  The new standard prescribed a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The new standard also provided guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition.  The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with the new standard is a two-step process.  The first step is recognition, where the Company evaluates whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.  For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, zero tax benefit is recorded.  For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, the Company performs the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded.  The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates.  In future periods, changes in facts and circumstances and new information may require the Company to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions.  Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur.  Upon adoption of the new standard, the Company recognized a $2.9 million charge to retained earnings and the reclassification of $30.0 million in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet from income taxes payable to other long-term assets ($6.2 million) and long-term liabilities ($36.2 million).

 

Income taxes are provided on financial statement earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries expected to be repatriated.  The Company determines annually the amount of undistributed non-U.S. earnings to invest indefinitely in its non-U.S. operations.  As a result of anticipated cash requirements in the foreign subsidiaries, the Company currently believes that all earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries will be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities.  Accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided for the repatriation of those earnings.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Based on Company estimates, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated fair value as of September 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents at September 30, 2009 consisted principally of money market instruments and bank deposits.

 

Receivables — Receivables consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers and unbilled costs and accrued profits related to revenues on long-term contracts that have been recognized for accounting purposes but not yet billed to customers.  The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of customers to make required payments.  The accrual for estimated losses is based on its historical experience, existing economic conditions and any specific customer collection issues the Company has identified.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, OMFSP lease receivables and guarantees of certain customers’ obligations under deferred payment contracts and lease purchase agreements.

 

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents, and other financial instruments, with various major financial institutions.  The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any institution.

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts and leases receivable is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas.  However, a significant amount of trade and lease receivables are with the U.S. government, with rental companies globally, with companies in the ready-mix concrete industry, with municipalities and with several large waste haulers in the United States.  The Company continues to monitor credit risk associated with its trade receivables, especially during the global recession.

 

Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost has been determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for 80.6% of the Company’s inventories at September 30, 2009 and 68.9% at September 30, 2008.  For the remaining inventories, cost has been determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Performance-Based Payments — The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) to deliver heavy-payload tactical vehicles (Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles and Logistic Vehicle System Replacement), medium-payload tactical vehicles (Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement) and MRAP-All Terrain Vehicles (“M-ATVs”), as well as certain other defense-related contracts, include requirements for “performance-based payments.”  The performance-based payment provisions in the contracts require the DoD to pay the Company based on the completion of certain pre-determined events in connection with the production under these contracts.  Performance-based payments received are first applied to reduce outstanding receivables for units accepted in accordance with contractual terms, with any remaining amount recorded as an offset to inventory to the extent of related inventory on hand.  Amounts received in excess of receivables and inventories are included in liabilities as customer advances.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using accelerated and straight-line methods.  The estimated useful lives range from 10 to 50 years for buildings and improvements, from 4 to 25 years for machinery and equipment and from 3 to 10 years for capitalized software and related costs.  The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the active construction period of major capital projects.  Capitalized interest is immaterial for all periods presented.  All capitalized interest has been added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets.

 

Goodwill — Goodwill reflects the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or “indicators of potential impairment” occur.  The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimating the future discounted cash flows of the businesses to which the goodwill relates.  Estimated cash flows and related goodwill are grouped at the reporting unit level.  A reporting unit is an operating segment or, under certain circumstances, a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business.  When estimated future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the net assets and related goodwill, an impairment test is performed to measure and recognize the amount of the impairment loss, if any.  Impairment losses, limited to the carrying value of goodwill, represent the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. In fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $1,169.2 million and $167.4 million, respectively, of which, $8.1 million and $167.4 million, respectively, related to discontinued operations.  See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the fiscal 2009 charges to continuing operations and Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the fiscal 2008 charges to discontinued operations.

 

In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair value of the reporting units.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill primarily utilizing the income approach.  The Company believes that the use of this approach is appropriate as it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting unit’s expected long-term operating cash flow performance.  This approach also mitigates the impact of cyclical trends that occur in the reporting unit’s industry.  Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Estimated future cash flows were based on the Company’s internal projection models, industry projections and other assumptions deemed reasonable by management.  Rates used to discount estimated cash flows correspond to the Company’s cost of capital, adjusted for risk where appropriate, and are dependent upon interest rates at a point in time.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.  It is possible that assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner that impairment in value may occur in the future.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Non-amortizable tradenames are assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or “indicators of potential impairment” occur.  If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.  Such analyses necessarily involve significant judgment.  In fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $30.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, related to long-lived assets, of which $1.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively, related to discontinued operations.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Floor Plan Notes Payable — Floor plan notes payable represent liabilities related to the purchase of commercial vehicle chassis upon which the Company mounts its manufactured vehicle bodies.  Floor plan notes payable are non-interest bearing for terms ranging up to 120 days and must be repaid upon the sale of the vehicle to a customer.  The Company’s practice is to repay all floor plan notes for which the non-interest bearing period has expired without sale of the vehicle to a customer.

 

Customer Advances — Customer advances include amounts received in advance of the completion of fire & emergency and commercial vehicles.  Most of these advances bear interest at variable rates approximating the prime rate.  Advances also include any performance-based payments received from the DoD in excess of the value of related inventory.  Advances from the DoD are non-interest bearing.  See preceding discussion on performance-based payments.

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income — Comprehensive (loss) income is a more inclusive financial reporting method that includes disclosure of financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.  The Company has chosen to report Comprehensive (Loss) Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income, which encompasses net income (loss), cumulative translation adjustments, unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and minimum pension liability adjustments in the Consolidated Statements of Equity.

Foreign Currency Translation — All balance sheet accounts have been translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.  Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate during the period in which the transactions occurred.  Resulting translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.”  Foreign currency transactions gains or losses are included in “Miscellaneous, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Company recorded net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) related to continuing operations of $8.4 million, $(9.3) million and $2.6 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts, in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument.  Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or in equity as a component of comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge.  Generally, changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in income along with the portions of the changes in the fair values of the hedged items that relate to the hedged risks.  Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes.  Changes in fair value of derivatives not qualifying as hedges are reported in income.  Cash flows from derivatives that are accounted for as cash flow or fair value hedges are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the item being hedged.

 

Subsequent Events — The Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through February 22, 2010, which is the date the Company filed its Form 8-K for the restatement of BAI as a discontinued operation and the adoption of the new standard on non-controlling interests, for appropriate accounting and disclosure.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In September 2007, the FASB issued a new standard on fair value measurements, which defined fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  The fair value standard clarified the definition of exchange price as the price between market participants in an orderly transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact business for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.  Effective October 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted the fair value standard but did not adopt it for non-financial assets and liabilities which are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis.  See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding fair value measurement disclosures.  The Company will be required to adopt the fair value standard for non-financial assets and liabilities which are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis on October 1, 2009.  The adoption of the remaining provisions of the fair value standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard on business combinations, which requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date.  Acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as acquisition costs and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired.  The new business combination standard will be effective for the Company on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after October 1, 2009.  The new business combination standard also amends ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to October 1, 2009 would also apply the provision of the new business combination standard.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had $20.1 million of tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to October 1, 2009.  Any adjustments required upon resolution of these contingencies will be reflected in “(Benefit from) provision for income taxes” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard on noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, which clarified that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  The Company will be required to adopt the new noncontrolling interests standard as of October 1, 2009.  The provisions of the new standard on noncontrolling interests are generally required to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which must be applied retrospectively.  The provisions of the new standard on noncontrolling interests have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements.  The adoption of the new standard on noncontrolling interests did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity.  SFAS No. 167 also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity.  Additionally, SFAS No. 167 provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity.  The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 167 as of October 1, 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 167 on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, which establishes the FASB ASC as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP.  SFAS No. 168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC’) under federal securities laws as authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.  The Company was required to adopt SFAS No. 168 as of September 30, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 168 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

3.     Discontinued Operations

 

In July 2009, the Company sold Geesink to a third party for nominal cash consideration.  Following reclassification of $92.0 million of cumulative translation adjustments out of equity, the Company recorded a pretax gain on the sale of $33.8 million, which was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.  As a result of the sale, the historical results of Geesink,

which were previously included in the Company’s commercial segment, have been reclassified and are now included in discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Due to rationalization of manufacturing facilities, inefficiencies associated with the relocation and start-up of production of Norba-branded products from Sweden to The Netherlands and increased material costs and product warranties, the Company’s European refuse collection vehicle business, Geesink, sustained a loss related to its operations of $27.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  The loss was significantly more than estimated in the Company’s financial projections supporting its fiscal 2007 fourth quarter impairment test.

 

The Company had taken steps during fiscal 2007 and the first six months of fiscal 2008 to turn around the Geesink business, including selling an unprofitable facility in The Netherlands during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, reaching an agreement with the Works Council in Sweden regarding rationalizing a facility in that country in order to consolidate Norba-branded production in The Netherlands, reducing its work force, installing new executive leadership, integrating operations with JLG, implementing lean manufacturing practices, introducing new products and outsourcing components to lower cost manufacturing sites.  In June 2008, it became evident that synergies related to Geesink’s facility rationalization program would be lower than expected and costs to execute the rationalization would be higher than anticipated.  The resulting slower than expected and more difficult return to profitability of Geesink’s business, further escalation of raw material costs, a softening of economies in Western Europe and a reduction in fabrication volume for the Company’s access equipment segment at Geesink’s Romania facility due to a slowdown in the European access equipment market led the Company to the conclusion that a charge for impairment was required.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company took these factors into account in developing its fiscal 2009 and long-term forecast for this business.  With the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, the Company determined that Geesink goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets were impaired and the Company recorded non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges of $174.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  The evaluation was based upon a discounted cash flow analysis of the historical and forecasted operating results of this business.

 

In October 2009, the Company sold its 75% ownership interest in BAI to BAI’s management team for nominal cash consideration.  Following reclassification of $0.8 million of cumulative translation adjustments out of equity, the Company recorded a small after tax loss on the sale, which was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  BAI, a European fire apparatus manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s fire & emergency segment.

The Company recorded provisions for credit losses related to continuing operations of $50.0 million in fiscal 2009, including a $24.4 million accrual for losses on customer guarantees, which is recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The provisions were concentrated in the access equipment segment due to the effects of the global recession on the financial health of its customers and due to reductions in the underlying collateral value of the equipment.

 

Costs and profits not billed generally will become billable upon the Company achieving certain contract milestones.

 

Finance receivables represent sales-type leases resulting from the sale of the Company’s products.  Finance receivables generally include a residual value component.  Residual values are determined based on the expectation that the underlying equipment will have a minimum fair market value at the end of the lease term.  This residual value accrues to the Company at the end of the lease.  The Company uses its experience and knowledge as an original equipment manufacturer and participant in end markets for the related products along with third-party studies to estimate residual values.  The Company monitors these values for impairment on a periodic basis and reflects any resulting reductions in value in current earnings.  As of September 30, 2009, approximately 72% of the finance receivables were due from four parties.  Finance and pledged finance receivables consisted of the following (in millions):

The contractual maturities of the Company’s finance receivables at September 30, 2009 were as follows: 2010 - $11.1 million; 2011 - $9.8 million; 2012 - $9.9 million; 2013 - $10.6 million; 2014 - $6.3 million; and thereafter - $4.3 million.  Historically, finance receivables have been paid off prior to their contractual due dates, although that may change in the current economic environment.  As a result, contractual maturities are not to be regarded as a forecast of future cash flows.  Provisions for losses on finance receivables are charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover losses in the existing receivable portfolio.

 

Notes receivable include refinancing of trade accounts and finance receivables.  As of September 30, 2009, approximately 85% of the notes receivable were due from two parties.  The Company routinely evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and establishes reserves if required under the circumstances.  Certain notes receivable are collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets and/or other assets owned by the debtor.  The Company may incur losses in excess of recorded reserves if the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate or the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting its customers’ financial obligations is not realized.

Inventory includes costs which are amortized to expense as sales are recognized under certain contracts.  At September 30, 2009 and 2008, unamortized costs related to long-term contracts of $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, were included in inventory.

 

During fiscal 2009, reductions in FIFO inventory levels resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current-year purchases.  The effect of the LIFO inventory liquidations on fiscal 2009 results was to decrease costs of goods sold by $6.0 million and increase earnings from continuing operations attributable to Oshkosh Corporation shareholders by $3.7 million ($0.05 per share).  The Company recognized pre-tax income from continuing operations of $15.2 million and expense of $26.7 million and $10.6 million as a result of LIFO inventory adjustments in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The investment generally represents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company’s ownership interest.  Earnings and losses, net of related income taxes, are reflected in “Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.”

 

In February 1998, concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of McNeilus, the Company and an unaffiliated third-party, BA Leasing & Capital Corporation, formed OMFSP, a general partnership, for the purpose of offering lease financing to certain customers of the Company.  Each partner contributed existing lease assets (and, in the case of the Company, related notes payable to third-party lenders, which were secured by such leases) to capitalize the partnership.  Leases and related notes payable contributed by the Company were originally acquired in connection with the McNeilus acquisition.

 

OMFSP manages the contributed assets and liabilities and engages in new vendor lease business providing financing to certain customers of the Company.  The Company sells vehicles, vehicle bodies and concrete batch plants to OMFSP for lease to user-customers.  The Company’s sales to OMFSP were $14.7 million, $39.7 million and $72.6 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Banks and other financial institutions lend to OMFSP a portion of the purchase price, with recourse solely to OMFSP, secured by a pledge of lease payments due from the user-lessees.  Each partner funds one-half of the approximate 4.0% to 8.0% equity portion of the cost of new equipment purchases.  Customers typically provide a 2.0% to 6.0% down payment.  Each partner is allocated its proportionate share of OMFSP’s cash flow and taxable income in accordance with the partnership agreement.  Indebtedness of OMFSP is secured by the underlying leases and assets of, and is with recourse to, OMFSP.  All such OMFSP indebtedness is non-recourse to the Company and its partner.  Each of the two general partners has identical voting, participating and protective rights and responsibilities, and each general partner materially participates in the activities of OMFSP.  For these and other reasons, the Company has determined that OMFSP is a voting interest entity.  Accordingly, the Company accounts for its equity interest in OMFSP under the equity method.  The Company received cash distributions from OMFSP of $5.5 million and $4.7 million in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.  No cash distributions were received in fiscal 2009.

 

The Company and an unaffiliated third-party are joint venture partners in RiRent.  RiRent maintains a fleet of access equipment for short-term lease to rental companies throughout most of Europe.  The re-rental fleet provides rental companies with equipment to support requirements on short notice.  RiRent does not provide services directly to end users.  The Company’s sales to RiRent were $4.4 million, $49.3 million and $31.5 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Company recognizes income on sales to RiRent at the time of shipment in proportion to the outside third-party interest in RiRent and recognizes the remaining income ratably over the estimated useful life of the equipment, which is generally five years.  Indebtedness of RiRent is secured by the underlying leases and assets of RiRent.  All such RiRent indebtedness is non-recourse to the Company and its partner.  Under RiRent’s €55.0 million bank credit facility, the partners of RiRent have committed to maintain an overall equity to asset ratio of at least 30.0% (40.6% as of June 30, 2009).

Depreciation expense recorded in continuing operations was $75.1 million, $72.8 million and $54.3 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Capitalized interest was insignificant in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007.  Equipment on operating lease to others represents the cost of equipment sold to customers for whom the Company has guaranteed the residual value and equipment on short-term leases.  These transactions are accounted for as operating leases with the related assets capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic lives of five to ten years.  Cost less accumulated depreciation for equipment on operating lease at September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $38.7 million and $41.1 million, respectively.

 

8.     Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if potential interim indicators exist that could result in impairment.  The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company performed its annual impairment review relative to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets (principally tradenames) and concluded that no impairment was required.

 

At February 28, 2009, given a sustained decline in the price of the Company’s Common Stock subsequent to the Company’s fiscal 2008 year end when its share price approximated book value, depressed order rates during the second fiscal quarter which historically has been a strong period for orders in advance of the North American construction season, as well as further deterioration in credit markets and the macro-economic environment, the Company determined that the appropriate triggers had been reached to perform additional impairment testing on goodwill and its long-lived intangible assets.

 

To derive the fair value of its reporting units, the Company performed extensive valuation analyses with the assistance of a third-party valuation advisor, utilizing both income and market approaches.  Under the income approach, the Company determined fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Estimated future cash flows were based on the Company’s internal projection models, industry projections and other assumptions deemed reasonable by management.  The sum of the fair values of the reporting units was reconciled to the Company’s market capitalization as of February 28, 2009 plus an estimated control premium.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2009 impairment analysis, the Company used a weighted-average cost of capital of 14.5% and a terminal growth rate of 3%.  This resulted in a control premium of 67%, based upon the relatively low price of the Company’s Common Stock on February 28, 2009 of $6.26 per share.  Under the market approach, the Company derived the fair value of its reporting units based on revenue multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies.  The final valuation was more heavily weighted towards the income approach as the Company believed the data available to apply the market approach at the time of the testing was not reliable as a result of the extreme volatility in stock prices due to the global recession and credit crisis.  Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.

As a result of this analysis, $1,159.7 million of goodwill and $24.3 million of other long-lived intangible assets related to continuing operations were considered impaired and were written off during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  These impairment charges were driven by projections and valuation assumptions that reflected the Company’s belief that the current recession would be deeper and longer than previously expected, that credit markets would remain tight and that costs of capital had risen significantly since the Company last performed its annual impairment testing.

 

Throughout the third quarter of fiscal 2009, access equipment order rates remained very weak and did not reflect a normal seasonal uptick.  Further, during the quarter it became apparent to the Company that federal stimulus actions would not contribute to access equipment orders in the near term, that credit availability to the Company’s access equipment customers would continue to be constrained, that U.S. residential and nonresidential spending could remain at very low levels for an extended period beyond the Company’s previous estimates and that the global economic recovery would occur at a slower pace than previously expected.  These factors all contributed to the Company’s belief that this business would experience lower orders in fiscal 2010 and beyond than previously estimated.  As a result, the Company initiated actions to further reduce its costs in its access equipment segment, including reductions in workforce and plant closings.  The Company considered these factors together to be an indicator of potential impairment of goodwill in the access equipment reporting unit which comprises the entire access equipment segment.  The Company therefore performed a detailed Step 1 analysis of the access equipment segment utilizing a discounted cash flow model that employed a 14.5% discount rate and a terminal growth rate of 3%.  As a result of the Company’s award of a large delivery order for M-ATVs from the DoD in June 2009 and its decision to assemble many M-ATVs in access equipment segment facilities, this model included expected cash flows related to this contract.  The resulting estimated fair value calculated in the impairment analysis was in excess of the net book value of the access equipment segment. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that no additional impairment charge was required in the third fiscal quarter.  Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the current recession.  Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.

 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company performed its annual impairment review relative to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets (principally tradenames) utilizing a discounted cash flow model that employed a 14.5% discount rate and a terminal growth rate of 3%.  This resulted in a control premium of 59%, based on the price of the Company’s Common Stock on July 1, 2009 of $18.43 per share.  As a result of this testing, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1.4 million and $0.6 million for goodwill and tradenames, respectively, within the fire & emergency segment.  In addition, based on this analysis, the Company concluded that impairment charges were not required for any other reporting units.  Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the current recession.  Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.  For example, a discount rate of approximately 15% would have likely resulted in further impairment charges at JLG, OSV and IMT.

When determining the value of customer relationships for purposes of allocating the purchase price of an acquisition, the Company looks at existing customer contracts of the acquired business to determine if they represent a reliable future source of income and hence, a valuable intangible asset for the Company.  The Company determines the fair value of the customer relationships based on the estimated future benefits the Company expects from the acquired customer contracts.  In performing its evaluation and estimation of the useful lives of customer relationships, the Company looks to the historical growth rate of revenue of the acquired company’s existing customers as well as the historical attrition rates.

 

In connection with the valuation of intangible assets, a 40-year life was assigned to the value of the Pierce distribution network ($53.0 million).  The Company believes Pierce maintains the largest North American fire apparatus distribution network.  Pierce has exclusive contracts with each distributor related to the fire apparatus product offerings manufactured by Pierce.  The useful life of the Pierce distribution network was based on a historical turnover analysis.  Non-compete intangible asset lives are based on terms of the applicable agreements.

 

Total amortization expense recorded in continuing operations was $62.3 million, $68.6 million and $65.3 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The estimated future amortization expense of purchased intangible assets for the five years succeeding September 30, 2009 are as follows: 2010 - $61.0 million; 2011 - $60.4 million; 2012 - $60.1 million; 2013 - $58.3 million and 2014 - $56.6 million.

10.  Leases

 

Certain administrative and production facilities and equipment are leased under long-term agreements.  Most leases contain renewal options for varying periods, and certain leases include options to purchase the leased property during or at the end of the lease term.  Leases generally require the Company to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance of the property.  Leased capital assets included in net property, plant and equipment, which consist primarily of buildings and improvements, were $2.8 million and $3.8 million at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

Other facilities and equipment are leased under arrangements that are accounted for as noncancelable operating leases.  Total rental expense for property, plant and equipment charged to continuing operations under noncancelable operating leases was $34.8 million, $34.2 million and $25.0 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In December 2006, the Company entered into a syndicated senior secured credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions, which consisted of a five-year $550.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) and two term loan facilities (“Term Loan A” and “Term Loan B,” and collectively, the “Term Loan Facility”).  In March 2009, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to provide relief under its Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) financial covenant.  The Company believed that the Amendment was required to avoid a potential financial covenant violation at the end of its second quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of lower demand for certain of the Company’s products due to continued weakening in the global economy and tight credit.  The Amendment also included an increase in the margin on LIBOR loans to 600 basis points, compared with 150 basis points immediately prior to the Amendment, and a requirement that the Company prepay $14.5 million and $86.0 million of debt related to Term Loan A and Term Loan B, respectively.  The Amendment also involved other changes to the Credit Agreement, including placing limitations on capital expenditures, dividends, investments and acquisitions, an increase in the frequency of mandatory prepayments, adding a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and requiring the grant of mortgage liens on certain real estate owned by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

 

The Amendment also added a usage fee equal to an annualized rate of 50 basis points on the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement for any day on which the Company has a corporate family rating from Moody’s Investors Service of B3 with “negative” watch or lower or a corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services of B- with “negative” watch or lower.  The Company’s credit ratings are reviewed regularly by these major debt rating agencies.  In January 2009, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services lowered the Company’s long-term debt rating from BB- to B and credit watch “negative” citing weaker-than-expected operating results and the Company’s need to seek an amendment of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.  Likewise, in January 2009, Moody’s Investors Service lowered the Company’s long-term debt rating from Ba3 to B2 with rating under review for possible downgrade pending resolution of the negotiations with its banks, citing expectations of further erosion in the Company’s credit metrics due to the deterioration in several of the Company’s businesses, particularly the access equipment segment.  In March 2009, following the Amendment, both Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service lowered the Company’s long-term debt ratings to “negative” outlook.  In August 2009, following the Company’s Common Stock offering and award of the M-ATV contract, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services upgraded the Company’s long-term debt rating to B+ with a “stable” outlook citing improved covenant headroom and good near-term prospects for the Company’s defense segment.

 

The Company accounted for the Amendment in accordance with ASC Topic 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments.  As the terms of the Credit Agreement both prior to and after the Amendment allowed for the prepayment of the amounts due without a penalty, the Company determined that the debt was callable on the date of the Amendment.  As such, the present value of the cash flows both prior to and after the Amendment was not determined to be substantially different.  Accordingly, fees of $20.1 million paid by the Company to the parties to the Credit Agreement were capitalized in connection with the Amendment, along with the existing unamortized debt fees, and will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement using the interest method.  Furthermore, in accordance with ASC Topic 470-50, costs incurred with third parties of $0.5 million were expensed as incurred.

 

Term Loan A required principal payments of $12.5 million, plus interest, due quarterly from December 2009 through September 2011, with a final principal payment of $248.0 million due December 6, 2011.  As a result of excess available cash, through September 30, 2009, the Company prepaid all of the quarterly principal payments related to Term Loan A as well as $130.3 million of the final principal payment under Term Loan A.  The remaining outstanding balance under Term Loan A of $117.7 million at September 30, 2009 was prepaid in full in October 2009.  The outstanding balance under Term Loan B at September 30, 2009 of $1,902.6 million is due December 6, 2013.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and outstanding letters of credit of $34.1 million reduced available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $515.9 million.

Interest rates on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility are variable and are equal to the “Base Rate” (which is equal to the higher of a bank’s reference rate and the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, a bank’s “Prime Rate” or the sum of 1.0% plus the “Off-Shore” rate that would be applicable for an interest period of one month beginning on such day) or the “Off-Shore” or “LIBOR Rate” (which is a bank’s inter-bank offered rate for U.S. dollars in off-shore markets) plus a specified margin.  The margins on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A are subject to adjustment, up or down, based on whether certain financial criteria are met.  At September 30, 2009, the interest rate spread on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility was 600 basis points.  The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2009 was 6.60% and 6.42% for Term Loans A and B, respectively.

 

The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based upon the market rate of the Company’s debt.  At September 30, 2009, the fair values of Term Loans A and B were estimated to be $117.1 million and $1,899.6 million, respectively.

 

To manage a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement on January 11, 2007 that effectively fixes the interest payments on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt.  The swap, which has a termination date of December 6, 2011, effectively fixes the LIBOR-based interest rate on the debt in the amount of the notional amount of the swap at 5.105% plus the applicable spread based on the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended (11.105% at September 30, 2009).  The notional amount of the swap at September 30, 2009 was $1.25 billion and reduces to $750 million on December 7, 2009 and $250 million on December 6, 2010.

 

The swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge of 3-month LIBOR-based interest payments.  The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative will be recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income,” while any ineffective portion is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.  At September 30, 2009, a loss of $50.9 million ($31.3 million net of tax), representing the fair value of the interest rate swap, was recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.”  The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap will be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense when the hedged, forecasted interest is recorded.  Net gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness on the interest rate swap were insignificant for all periods presented.

 

Under this swap agreement, the Company will pay the counterparty interest on the notional amount at a fixed rate of 5.105% and the counterparty will pay the Company interest on the notional amount at a variable rate equal to 3-month LIBOR.  The 3-month LIBOR rate applicable to this agreement was 0.29% at September 30, 2009.  The notional amounts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties, and thus are not a measure of exposure of the Company.  The amounts exchanged are normally based on the notional amounts and other terms of the swaps.  The variable rates are subject to change over time as 3-month LIBOR fluctuates.  Neither the Company nor the counterparty is required to collateralize its obligations under these swaps.  The Company is exposed to loss if the counterparty defaults.  However, as of the date of this filing, the counterparty is a large Aa1 rated global financial institution, and the Company believes that the risk of default is remote.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, as amended, are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the Company guarantees the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement, as amended, to the extent such subsidiaries borrow directly under the Credit Agreement, as amended.  The Credit Agreement, as amended, is also secured by a first-priority, perfected lien and security interests in all of the equity interests of the Company’s active domestic subsidiaries, 65% of the equity interests of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company and certain real property; subject to customary permitted lien exceptions, substantially all other personal property of the Company and certain subsidiaries; and all proceeds thereof.

 

The Credit Agreement, as amended, contains various restrictions and covenants, including restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness and dispose of assets.  The Credit Agreement, as amended, also requires the Company to maintain the following financial ratios:

The Company is charged a 0.50% annual commitment fee with respect to any unused commitment under its Revolving Credit Facility and a 5.00% to 6.00% annual fee with respect to commercial letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio.  For performance letters of credit, the annual fee is 50% of the annual fee applicable to commercial letters of credit.

 

12.  Warranty and Guarantee Arrangements

 

The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from six months to five years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace.  Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company’s end products may include manufacturers’ warranties.  These manufacturers’ warranties are generally passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products, and the customer would generally deal directly with the component manufacturer.  Warranty costs recorded in continuing operations were $47.5 million, $58.3 million and $51.0 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Changes in the Company’s warranty liability during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 were as follows (in millions):

Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience.  Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation.  At times, warranty issues arise that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience.  It is reasonably possible that additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience.

 

In the fire & emergency segment, the Company provides guarantees of certain customers’ obligations under deferred payment contracts and lease payment agreements to third parties.  Guarantees provided prior to February 1, 2008 are limited to $1.0 million per year in total.  In January 2008, the Company entered into a new guarantee arrangement.  Under this arrangement, guarantees are limited to $3.0 million per year for contracts signed after February 1, 2008.  These guarantees are mutually exclusive and, until the portfolio under the $1.0 million guarantee is repaid, the Company has exposure of up to $4.0 million per year.  Both guarantees are supported by the residual value of the underlying equipment.  The Company’s actual losses under these guarantees over the last ten years have been negligible.  In accordance with ASC Topic 460, Guarantees, the Company has recorded the fair value of all such guarantees issued after January 1, 2003 as a liability and a reduction of the initial revenue recognized on the sale of equipment.  Liabilities accrued since January 1, 2003 for such guarantees were not significant.

 

In the access equipment segment, the Company is party to multiple agreements whereby it guarantees an aggregate of $290.8 million in indebtedness of others, including $135.3 million maximum loss exposure under loss pool agreements.  Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company generally has the ability, among other things, to take possession of the underlying collateral.  At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had recorded liabilities related to these agreements of $26.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively.  If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate and result in their inability to make payments, then additional accruals may be required.  While the Company does not expect to experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, it cannot provide any assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate

resulting in the customers’ inability to meet their obligations.  In the event that occurs, the Company cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of the amounts reserved.  Any losses under these guarantees would generally be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral, including financed equipment, and are generally subject to the finance company’s ability to provide the Company clear title to foreclosed equipment and other conditions.  During an economic downturn, collateral values generally decline and can contribute to higher exposure to losses.

 

13.  Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company has used forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“derivatives”) to reduce the exchange rate risk of specific foreign currency denominated transactions.  These derivatives typically require the exchange of a foreign currency for U.S. dollars at a fixed rate at a future date.  At times, the Company has designated these hedges as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as follows:

 

Fair Value Hedging Strategy — The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro.  The purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from risk that the eventual U.S. dollar-equivalent cash flows from the sale of products to international customers will be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rates.

 

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy — To protect against an increase in the cost of forecasted purchases of foreign-sourced component parts payable in Euro, the Company has a foreign currency cash flow hedging program.  The Company hedges portions of its forecasted purchases denominated in Euro with forward contracts. When the U.S. dollar weakens against the Euro, increased foreign currency payments are offset by gains in the value of the forward contracts.  Conversely, when the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Euro, reduced foreign currency payments are offset by losses in the value of the forward contracts.

 

At September 30, 2009, forward foreign exchange contracts designated as hedges were insignificant.

 

To manage a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest payments on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt.  The swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge of 3-month LIBOR-based interest payments and, accordingly, derivative gains or losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and are amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings.  During the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, $48.3 million of expense and $23.3 million of expense, respectively, was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as amortization of interest rate derivative gains and losses.  At September 30, 2009, $50.9 million of net unrealized losses remained deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.”  See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the interest rate swap.

 

The Company has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to create an economic hedge to manage foreign exchange risk exposure associated with non-functional currency denominated payables resulting from global sourcing activities.  The Company has not designated these derivative contracts as hedge transactions under ASC Topic 815, and accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period in current earnings.  The fair value of foreign currency related derivatives is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Other current assets” and “Other current liabilities.”  At September 30, 2009, the U.S. dollar equivalent of these outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts totaled $81.5 million in notional amounts, including $69.6 million in contracts to sell Euro, with the remaining contracts covering a variety of foreign currencies.

14.  Fair Value Measurement

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than quoted prices other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

 

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

15.  Oshkosh Corporation Shareholders’ Equity

 

On August 12, 2009, the Company completed a public equity offering of 14,950,000 shares of Common Stock, which included the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option for 1,950,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $25.00 per share.  The Company paid $15.1 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $0.6 million of offering expenses.  The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of approximately $358.1 million to repay debt under the Credit Agreement.

 

On February 1, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan and declared a rights dividend of one-sixth of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (“Right”) for each share of Common Stock outstanding on February 8, 1999, and provided that one-sixth of one Right would be issued with each share of Common Stock, thereafter issued.  The Rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Common Stock or announces a tender offer for 15% or more of the Common Stock.  Each Right entitles the holder thereof to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an initial exercise price of $145 per one one-hundredth of a share (subject to adjustment), or upon the occurrence of certain events, Common Stock or common stock of an acquiring company having a market value equivalent to two times the exercise price.  Subject to certain conditions, the Rights are redeemable by the Board of Directors for $.01 per Right and are exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.  The Board of Directors is also authorized to reduce the 15% thresholds referred to above to not less than 10%.  The Rights have no voting power and expired on February 1, 2009.

 

In July 1995, the Company authorized the buyback of up to 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had purchased 2,769,210 shares of its Common Stock at an aggregate cost of $6.6 million.  The Company is restricted by its Credit Agreement from buying back shares in certain situations.  See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding these restrictions.  The Company does not expect to buy back any shares under this authorization in fiscal 2010.

 

16.  Stock Options, Nonvested Stock, Performance Shares and Common Stock Reserved

 

In February 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2009 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2009 Stock Plan”).  The 2009 Stock Plan replaced the 2004 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan, as amended (the “2004 Stock Plan”) and 1990 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended (the “1990 Stock Plan”).  While no new awards will be granted under the 2004 Stock Plan and 1990 Stock Plan, awards previously made under these two plans that remained outstanding as of the approval date of the 2009 Stock Plan will remain outstanding and continue to be governed by the provisions of those plans.

 

Under the 2009 Stock Plan, officers, directors, including non-employee directors, and employees of the Company may be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, shares of Common Stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other stock-based awards.  The 2009 Stock Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at not less than the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Stock options granted under the 2009 Stock Plan become exercisable in equal installments over a three-year period, beginning with the first anniversary of the date of grant of the option, unless a shorter or longer duration is established by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of the option grant.  Stock options terminate not more than seven years from the date of grant.  Except for performance shares and performance units, vesting is based solely on continued service as an employee of the Company and generally vest upon retirement.  The maximum number of shares of stock reserved for all awards under the 2009 Stock Plan is 4,000,000.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had reserved 8,483,576 shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of outstanding stock options and the issuance of Common Stock under incentive compensation awards, including awards issued prior to the effective date of the 2009 Stock Plan.

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option, nonvested stock and performance share awards over the requisite service period for vesting of the award, or to an employee’s eligible retirement date, if earlier and applicable.  Total stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $10.9 million ($6.9 million net of tax), $15.0 million ($9.7 million net of tax) and $11.7 million ($8.4 million net of tax), respectively.

The Company used the Company’s historical stock prices as the basis for the Company’s volatility assumption.  The assumed risk-free interest rates were based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant.  The expected option term represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding and was based on historical experience.  The weighted-average fair values for stock option grants during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $16.67, $4.64 and $18.78, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $16.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

The aggregate intrinsic values in the tables above represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value (difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal 2009 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2009. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock.  Total intrinsic value of options exercised for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $0.7 million, $9.0 million and $17.3 million, respectively.

The total fair value of shares vested during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1.0 million, $4.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

 

Performance Share Awards — In fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company granted certain executives awards for an aggregate of 134,500, 50,100 and 50,500 performance shares, respectively, that vest at the end of the third fiscal year following the grant date.  Executives earn performance shares only if the Company’s total shareholder return over the three years compares favorably to that of a comparator group of companies.  Potential payouts range from zero to 200 percent of the target awards.  The grant date fair values of the 2009 performance share awards were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing the following weighted-average assumptions:

The Company used the Company’s historical stock prices as the basis for the Company’s volatility assumption.  The assumed risk-free rates were based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant.  The expected term is based on the vesting period.  The weighted-average fair value for performance share awards granted during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $17.26, $7.04 and $35.12 per award, respectively.  Compensation expense of $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million related to performance share awards was recorded in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Options to purchase 4,327,116 shares of Common Stock and 190,175 nonvested shares were outstanding during fiscal 2009, but were excluded from the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders because the net loss for the period caused all potentially dilutive shares to be anti-dilutive.  Options to purchase 1,446,598 and 749,750 shares of Common Stock were outstanding in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to Oshkosh Corporation common shareholders because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the shares of Common Stock and therefore would have been anti-dilutive.

Pension Plans - The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor multiple defined benefit pension plans covering certain Oshkosh, JLG and Pierce employees.  The benefits provided are based primarily on average compensation, years of service and date of birth.  Hourly plans are generally based upon years of service and a benefit dollar multiplier.  The Company periodically amends the hourly plans, changing the benefit dollar multipliers.

 

Postretirement Plans - The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor multiple postretirement benefit plans covering Oshkosh, JLG and Kewaunee retirees and their spouses.  The plans generally provide health benefits based on years of service and date of birth.  These plans are unfunded.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income at September 30, 2009 are prior service costs of $1.5 million ($0.9 million net of tax) and unrecognized net actuarial losses of $4.2 million ($2.6 million net of tax) expected to be recognized in pension and Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) net periodic benefit costs during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

 

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the Company was 9.0% in fiscal 2009, declining to 5.5% in fiscal 2016.  If the health care cost trend rate was increased by 1%, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at September 30, 2009 would increase by $6.6 million and net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 2009 would increase by $1.2 million.  A corresponding decrease of 1% would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at September 30, 2009 by $5.5 million and net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 2009 would decrease by $1.0 million.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has appointed an Investment Committee (“Committee”) to manage the investment of the Company’s pension plan assets.  The Committee has established and operates under an Investment Policy.  The Committee determines the asset allocation and target ranges based upon periodic asset/liability studies and capital market projections.  The Committee retains external investment managers to invest the assets and an advisor to monitor the performance of the investment managers.  The Investment Policy prohibits certain investment transactions, such as commodity contracts, margin transactions, short selling and investments in Company securities, unless the Committee gives prior approval.

The plans’ investment strategy is based on an expectation that, over time, equity securities will provide higher total returns than debt securities.  The plans primarily minimize the risk of large losses through diversification of investments by asset class, by investing in different styles of investment management within the classes and by using a number of different investment managers.  The Committee monitors the asset allocation and investment performance monthly, with a more comprehensive quarterly review with its advisor and annual reviews with each investment manager.

 

The plans’ expected return on assets is based on management’s and the Committee’s expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the plans’ investments.  These expectations are based on the plans’ historical returns and expected returns for the asset classes in which the plans are invested.

 

The Company’s policy is to fund the pension plans in amounts that comply with contribution limits imposed by law.  The Company expects to contribute approximately $10.0 million to $20.0 million to its pension plans and an additional $2.5 million to its postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2010.  However, based on returns on the plans’ investments and the Company’s cash flows, the Company may contribute more than these ranges in fiscal 2010 to reduce the underfunded status of certain plans.

401(k) Plans - The Company has defined contribution 401(k) plans covering substantially all domestic employees.  The plans allow employees to defer 2% to 19% of their income on a pre-tax basis.  Each employee who elects to participate is eligible to receive Company matching contributions which are based on employee contributions to the plans, subject to certain limitations.  Amounts expensed for Company matching and discretionary contributions were $18.8 million and $13.7 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Company recognized income of $1.0 million in fiscal 2009 as actual payments under the discretionary portion of the plan were less than amounts accrued in the previous year and as a result of the Company’s discontinuation of matching contributions in March 2009 for most employees.

The Company is party to a tax incentive agreement (“incentive”) covering certain of its European operations.  The incentive provides for a reduction in the Company’s effective income tax rate through allowable deductions that are subject to recapture to the extent that certain conditions are not met, including a requirement to have minimum cumulative operating income over a multiple-year period ending in fiscal 2013.  The Company recorded tax deductions (income) under this incentive agreement of €(38.7) million, €40.2 million and €16.5 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which resulted in additional (tax) benefit of $(17.3) million, $20.9 million and $7.5 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Life-to-date the Company has recorded €18.0 million of cumulative net deductions which are subject to recapture provisions should certain minimum income and other requirements not be met.  Should the Company reach the maximum level of cumulative operating income under this incentive, aggregate additional unbenefitted deductions of €95.5 million would be available to offset the Company’s future taxable income, although the amount of deductions allowed in any particular tax year are limited by the incentive.

 

In fiscal 2009, the Company made an election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to treat Windmill Ventures, the Company’s European holding company parent of Geesink and BAI, as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  As a result of this election, the Company recorded a $71.5 million worthless stock/bad debt income tax benefit, of which $10.5 million related to Windmill Ventures continuing operations and $61.0 million related to Geesink and BAI and has been included in discontinued operations.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $172.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of certain foreign subsidiaries that are primarily from countries with carryforward periods ranging from eight years to an unlimited period.  In addition, the Company had $222.0 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to expiration from 2010 to 2029.  The deferred tax assets for foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards were $44.8 million and $12.5 million, respectively, and are reviewed for recoverability based on historical taxable income, the expected reversals of existing temporary differences, tax-planning strategies and projections of future taxable income.  As a result of this analysis, the Company carries a valuation allowance as of September 30, 2009 against the foreign and state deferred tax assets of $33.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

 

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign operations that are intended to be permanently reinvested.  At September 30, 2009, these earnings amounted to $157.9 million.  If these earnings were repatriated to the United States, the Company would be required to accrue and pay U.S. Federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes, as adjusted for foreign tax credits.  Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on these earnings is not practicable.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 on October 1, 2007.  The adoption of ASC Topic 740 resulted in a $2.9 million charge to retained earnings as of October 1, 2007 and the reclassification of $30.0 million in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet from income taxes payable to other long-term assets and long-term liabilities of $6.2 million and $36.2 million, respectively.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s liability for gross uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties, was $72.8 million.  Excluding interest and penalties, net unrecognized tax benefits of $36.8 million would affect the Company’s net income if recognized, $21.6 million of which would impact the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations.  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 were as follows (in millions):

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.  During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $2.4 million, $2.7 million and $0.8 million in interest and penalties, respectively.  At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had accruals for the payment of interest and penalties of $12.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively.  The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is expected to change by approximately $3.6 million in the next twelve months.

 

The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state, local and non-U.S. jurisdiction tax returns.  The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.  The Company’s taxable years ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Prior to its acquisition by the Company, JLG had received notices of audit adjustments totaling $7.1 million from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (“PA”) in connection with audits of income tax returns filed by JLG for fiscal years 1999 through 2003. The adjustments proposed by PA consist primarily of the disallowance of a royalty deduction taken on JLG’s income tax returns. The Company made a $2.3 million payment on May 27, 2008 to PA in complete satisfaction of the audit, inclusive of interest.

20.  Contingencies, Significant Estimates and Concentrations

 

Securities Class Action - On September 19, 2008, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a complaint seeking certification of a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin docketed as Iron Workers Local No. 25 Pension Fund on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated v. Oshkosh Corporation and Robert G. Bohn.  The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Company violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making materially inadequate disclosures and material omissions leading to the Company’s issuance of revised earnings guidance and announcement of an impairment charge on June 26, 2008.  Since the initial lawsuit, other suits containing substantially similar allegations were filed.  These lawsuits have been consolidated and an amended complaint has been filed.  The amended complaint substantially expands the class period in which securities law violations are alleged to have occurred and names Charles L. Szews, David M. Sagehorn and the Company’s independent auditor as additional defendants.  On July 24, 2009, the defendants filed their motions to dismiss the lawsuit, and the motions have been fully briefed.  The motions are currently pending before the court.  The Company believes the lawsuit to be entirely without merit and plans to continue to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.

 

Environmental - As part of its routine business operations, the Company disposes of and recycles or reclaims certain industrial waste materials, chemicals and solvents at third-party disposal and recycling facilities, which are licensed by appropriate governmental agencies.  In some instances, these facilities have been and may be designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency for remediation.  Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state laws, each potentially responsible party (“PRP”) that contributed hazardous substances may be jointly and severally liable for the costs associated with cleaning up these sites.  Typically, PRPs negotiate a resolution with the EPA and/or the state environmental agencies.  PRPs also negotiate with each other regarding allocation of the cleanup costs.  The Company has been named a PRP with regard to three multiple-party sites.  Based on current estimates, the Company believes its liability at these sites will not be material and any responsibility of the Company is adequately covered through established reserves.

 

The Company has been addressing a regional trichloroethylene (“TCE”) groundwater plume on the south side of Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  The Company believes there may be multiple sources of TCE in the area.  TCE was detected at the Company’s North Plant facility with testing showing the highest concentrations in a monitoring well located on the upgradient property line.  In July 2009, upon completion of additional testing with favorable results at the Company’s North Plant facility, the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (“WDNR”) agreed to close its investigation of the North Plant facility and not to require any remediation at the North Plant facility at this time provided that the Company and any subsequent owner of the North Plant facility comply with certain conditions.  The WDNR may reopen its investigation of the matter if additional evidence of contamination at the North Plant facility is discovered.  Also, as part of the regional TCE groundwater investigation, the Company conducted a groundwater investigation of a former landfill located on Company property.  The landfill, acquired by the Company in 1972, is approximately 2.0 acres in size and is believed to have been used for the disposal of household waste.  Based on the investigation, the Company believes, and the WDNR has concurred, that the landfill is not one of the sources of the TCE contamination.  As such, in March 2009, the WDNR agreed to close its investigation of the landfill as a possible source of the TCE and not to require any remediation at the landfill at this time, provided that the Company and any subsequent owner of the landfill comply with certain conditions.  The landfill will remain on the State of Wisconsin’s registry of former landfills.  The WDNR may reopen its investigation of the matter if additional evidence of contamination at the landfill is discovered.  Based upon current knowledge, the Company believes its liability associated with the TCE issue will not be material and is adequately covered through reserves established by the Company.  However, this may change as investigations by unrelated property owners and the government proceed.

 

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had reserves of $2.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for losses related to environmental matters that were probable and estimable.  The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates.  Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Personal Injury Actions and Other - Product and general liability claims arise against the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business.  The Company is generally self-insured for future claims up to $3.0 million per claim.  Accordingly, a reserve is maintained for the estimated costs of such claims.  At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the reserve for product and general liability claims was $46.8 million and $47.3 million, respectively, based on available information. There is inherent uncertainty as to the eventual resolution of unsettled claims.  Management, however, believes that any losses in excess of established reserves will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Market Risks - The Company is contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds totaling $217.8 million and open standby letters of credit issued by the Company’s banks in favor of third parties totaling $34.1 million at September 30, 2009.

 

Other Matters - The Company is subject to other environmental matters and legal proceedings and claims, including patent, antitrust, product liability, warranty and state dealership regulation compliance proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

 

At September 30, 2009, approximately 28% of the Company’s workforce was covered under collective bargaining agreements.

 

The Company derived a significant portion of its revenue from the DoD, as follows (in millions):

No other customer represented more than 10% of sales for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007.

 

Certain risks are inherent in doing business with the DoD, including technological changes and changes in levels of defense spending.  All DoD contracts contain a provision that they may be terminated at any time at the convenience of the government.  In such an event, the Company is entitled to recover allowable costs plus a reasonable profit earned to the date of termination.

 

Major contracts for military systems are performed over extended periods of time and are subject to changes in scope of work and delivery schedules. Pricing negotiations on changes and settlement of claims often extend over prolonged periods of time. The Company’s ultimate profitability on such contracts may depend on the eventual outcome of an equitable settlement of contractual issues with the Company’s customers.

 

Because the Company is a relatively large defense contractor, the Company’s government contract operations are subject to extensive annual audit processes and to U.S. government investigations of business practices and cost classifications from which legal or administrative proceedings can result. Based on government procurement regulations, under certain circumstances the Company could be fined, as well as suspended or debarred from government contracting. In that event, the Company would also be prohibited from selling equipment or services to customers that depend on loans or financial commitments from the Export Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation and similar government agencies during a suspension or debarment.

21.  Business Segment Information

 

The Company is organized into four reportable segments based on the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and measuring performance and based on the similarity of customers served, common management, common use of facilities and economic results attained.  The Company’s segments are as follows:

 

Defense:  This segment consists of a division of Oshkosh that manufactures heavy- and medium-payload tactical trucks and supply parts and services for the U.S. military and for other militaries around the world.  Sales to the DoD accounted for 96.9%, 96.0% and 92.0% of the segment’s sales for the years ended September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Access Equipment:  This segment consists of JLG.  JLG manufactures aerial work platforms and telehandlers used in a wide variety of construction, industrial, institutional and general maintenance applications to position workers and materials at elevated heights for sale worldwide.  Access equipment customers include equipment rental companies, construction contractors, manufacturing companies, home improvement centers and the U.S. military.  Sales to one customer accounted for 14.8% of the segment’s sales for the year ended September 30, 2007.

 

Fire & Emergency:  This segment includes Pierce, the aircraft rescue and firefighting and snow removal divisions of Oshkosh, JerrDan, Medtec, Kewaunee and OSV.  These units manufacture and market commercial and custom fire vehicles, broadcast vehicles and emergency vehicles primarily for fire departments, airports, other governmental units, hospitals and other care providers, broadcast stations and towing companies in the U.S. and abroad.

 

Commercial:  This segment includes McNeilus, CON-E-CO, London, IMT and the commercial division of Oshkosh.  McNeilus, CON-E-CO, London and Oshkosh manufacture, market and distribute concrete mixers, portable concrete batch plants and vehicle and vehicle body components.  McNeilus manufactures, markets and distributes refuse collection vehicles and components.  IMT is a manufacturer of field service vehicles and truck-mounted cranes for niche markets.  Sales are made primarily to commercial and municipal customers in the Americas and Europe.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, for purposes of business segment performance measurement, the Company does not allocate to individual business segments costs or items that are of a non-operating nature or organizational or functional expenses of a corporate nature.  The caption “Corporate and other” includes corporate office expenses, including share-based compensation, results of insignificant operations, intersegment eliminations and income and expense not allocated to reportable segments.  Identifiable assets of the business segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, certain property, plant and equipment and certain other assets pertaining to corporate activities.  Intersegment sales generally include amounts invoiced by a segment for work performed for another segment.  Amounts are based on actual work performed and agreed-upon pricing which is intended to be reflective of the contribution made by the supplying business segment.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
