FY 2010 FY 2009 Change Days (5) Days (5)
($ millions) ($ millions) ($ millions) FY 2010 FY 2009  Change
  Receivables, net $544 $486 +$58 33 28 +5 day
  Inventories, net $367 $366     +$1 42 43 -1 day
  Accounts payable (1) $410   $381 +$29 43 42 +1 day

  Average WC (2) $136 $86 +$50
  Average WC % net sales (4) 2.2 % 1.4 %  

  • Receivables increased primarily due to the change in auto customer payment terms and the timing of merchandising events in the quarter.
  • Accounts payable increased mainly due to an increase in capital expenditures and the timing of inventory purchases during the quarter.
  • Accrued liabilities increased mainly due to an increase in employee benefit accruals primarily related to a change in the timing of salary payments and an increase in incentive compensation.
Supplemental Information – Cash Flow
(Unaudited)
For the quarter and year ended June 30, 2010
 
Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter were $92 million (full year = $203 million)
 
Depreciation and amortization for the fourth quarter was $46 million (full year = $185 million)
 
Cash provided by operations
 
Net cash provided by operations in the fourth quarter was $376 million, compared with $315 million provided by operations in the year-ago quarter. Higher net cash provided by operations in the current quarter was primarily due to changes in working capital versus the prior quarter.
 
(1)       Days of accounts payable is calculated as follows: average accounts payable / [(cost of products sold + change in inventory) / 90].
(2)       Working capital (WC) is defined in this context as current assets minus current liabilities excluding cash and short-term debt, based on end of period balances. Average working capital represents a two-point average of working capital.
(3)       Represents working capital at the end of the period divided by annualized net sales (current quarter net sales x 4).
(4)       Represents a two-point average of working capital divided by annualized net sales (current quarter net sales x 4).
(5)       Days calculations based on a two-point average.

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, non-cash restructuring-related and asset
impairment costs, and interest expense   $ 1,068 $ 982 $ 909 $ 860
Adjusted after tax profit (4) $ 697   $ 650 $ 604 $ 574
Average capital employed (5) $ 2,928 $ 3,045 $ 2,680 $ 2,165
Capital charge (6) 264 274 241 195
Economic profit (7) (Adjusted after tax profit less capital charge) $ 433 $ 376 $ 363 $ 379
       % change over prior year +15.2 % +3.6 % -4.2 %  

(1)         In accordance with SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of a non-GAAP measure and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management believes the presentation of economic profit (EP) provides additional information to investors about current trends in the business. EP is used by management to evaluate business performance and was taken into account in determining management’s incentive compensation and the Company’s contribution to employee profit sharing plans in fiscal year 2010. EP represents profit generated over and above the cost of paying for assets used by the business to generate that profit.
(2) Non-cash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs are added back to earnings and adjusted capital employed to more closely reflect cash earnings and the total capital investment used to generate those earnings.
(3) Interest expense is added back to earnings because it is included as a component of the capital charge.
(4) Adjusted after tax profit represents earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, non-cash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs, and interest expense, after tax. The tax rate applied is the effective tax rate on continuing operations which was 34.8%, 33.8%, 33.6%, and 33.2% in fiscal years 2010, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
(5) Total capital employed represents total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities. Adjusted capital employed represents total capital employed adjusted to add back current year non-cash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs. Average capital employed represents a two-point average of adjusted capital employed for the current year and total capital employed for the prior year, based on year-end balances. See below for details of the average capital employed calculation:

        FY10         FY09         FY08         FY07         FY06
Total assets $ 4,555 $ 4,576 $ 4,712   $ 3,581 $ 3,521
Less:
       Accounts payable 410   381 418 329 329
       Accrued liabilities 492 472 440 507 474
       Income taxes payable 74 86 52   17   19
       Other liabilities 677   640   632 516 547
       Deferred income taxes 24 23 65 5   34
              Non-interest bearing liabilities   1,677 1,602 1,607 1,374 1,403
Total capital employed   2,878 2,974   3,105 2,207 $ 2,118
Non-cash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs 4 10 48 4
Adjusted capital employed $ 2,882 $ 2,984 $ 3,153 $ 2,211
Average capital employed $ 2,928 $ 3,045 $ 2,680 $ 2,165
 
(6)         Capital charge represents average capital employed multiplied by the weighted-average cost of capital. The weighted-average cost of capital used to calculate capital charge was 9% for all fiscal years presented.
(7) EP represents earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, non-cash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs, and interest expense, after tax, less a capital charge (as defined above).

Adjusted average invested capital (5) $ 3,049 $ 3,019 $ 2,805   $ 2,189   $ 2,095
Return on invested capital (6) 22.8%     21.8%   21.2%   26.5% 25.3%
 

(1)       In accordance with SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of a non-GAAP measure and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management believes the presentation of return on invested capital (ROIC) provides additional information to investors about current trends in the business. ROIC is a measure of how effectively the company allocates capital. Beginning with fiscal year 2008, the company adopted a simplified ROIC calculation (see definition below).
(2)       Restructuring and asset impairment costs are added back to earnings and average invested capital to more closely reflect operating results.
(3)       Interest expense is added back to earnings because it is factored in debt, a component of average invested capital (as defined below).
(4)       Adjusted after tax profit represents earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, restructuring and asset impairment costs, and interest expense; after tax. The tax rate applied is the effective tax rate on continuing operations, which was 34.8%, 33.8%, 33.6%, 33.2% and 32.1% in fiscal years 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
(5)       Average invested capital represents a five quarter average of debt and equity. Adjusted average invested capital represents average invested capital adjusted to add back a five quarter average of cumulative, current-year after-tax restructuring and asset impairment costs. See below for details of the adjusted average invested capital calculation:
 
(amounts shown below are five quarter averages) FY10      FY09      FY08      FY07      FY06
Debt $     3,033 $     3,338 $     3,161 $     2,181 $     2,533
Equity 14   (324 ) (372 ) 4 (439 )
Average invested capital   3,047 3,014   2,789   2,185 2,094
Cumulative after-tax restructuring and asset impairment costs 2 5   16 4 1
Adjusted average invested capital $ 3,049 $ 3,019 $ 2,805 $ 2,189 $ 2,095
 
(6)       ROIC is calculated as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding restructuring and asset impairment costs and interest expense, computed on an after-tax basis as a percentage of adjusted average invested capital (as defined above).
