Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of the inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Crown Holdings, Inc

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crown Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for transfers of financial assets as of January 1, 2010.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in millions, except share, per share, employee and statistical data)

 

A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business and Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its consolidated subsidiary companies (where the context requires, the “Company” shall include reference to the Company and its consolidated subsidiary companies).

The Company manufactures and sells metal containers, metal closures, and canmaking equipment. These products are manufactured in the Company’s plants both within and outside the U.S. and are sold through the Company’s sales organization to the soft drink, food, citrus, brewing, household products, personal care and various other industries. The financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates, impacting reported results of operations and financial position. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In deciding which entities should be reported on a consolidated basis, the Company first determines whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If an entity is a VIE, the Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary based on whether it (1) has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If an entity is not a VIE, the Company consolidates those entities in which it has control, including certain subsidiaries that are not majority-owned. Certain of the Company’s agreements with noncontrolling interests contain provisions in which the Company would surrender certain decision-making rights upon a change in control of the Company. AccordingIy, consolidation of these operations may no longer be appropriate subsequent to a change in control of the Company, as defined in the agreements. Investments in companies in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for by the equity method. Investments in securities where the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, and whose fair value is readily determinable such as those listed on a securities exchange, are referred to as “available for sale securities” and reported at their fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. Other investments are carried at cost.

Foreign Currency Translation. For non-U.S. subsidiaries which operate in a local currency environment, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income, expense and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments for these subsidiaries are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. For non-U.S. subsidiaries that use a U.S. dollar functional currency, local currency inventories and property, plant and equipment are translated into U.S. dollars at approximate rates prevailing when acquired; all other assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Inventories charged to cost of sales and depreciation are remeasured at historical rates; all other income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Gains and losses which result from remeasurement are included in earnings.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized from product sales when the goods are shipped and the title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, returns, and other adjustments are estimated and provided for in the period that the related sales are recorded. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from net sales. Shipping and handling fees and costs are reported as cost of products sold.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans that are currently comprised of fixed stock option grants and restricted stock awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis using the grant date fair value of the award and the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. The Company’s plans provide for stock awards which include accelerated vesting upon retirement, disability, or death of eligible employees. The Company considers a stock-based award to be vested when the service period is no longer contingent on the employee providing future service. Accordingly, the related compensation cost is recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible individuals or over the period from the grant date to the date that retirement eligibility is achieved, if less than the stated vesting period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents represent investments with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The allowance is determined based on a review of individual accounts for collectibility, generally focusing on those accounts that are past due. The current year expense to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded within cost of products sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Inventory Valuation. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost for U.S. inventories principally determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Non-U.S. inventories are principally determined under the average cost method.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and includes expenditures for new facilities and equipment and those costs which substantially increase the useful lives or capacity of existing PP&E. Cost of constructed assets includes capitalized interest incurred during the construction and development period. Maintenance and repairs, including labor and material costs for planned major maintenance such as annual production line overhauls, are expensed as incurred. When PP&E is retired or otherwise disposed, the net carrying amount is eliminated with any gain or loss on disposition recognized in earnings at that time.

Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows (in years):

 

Land improvements

     25   

Buildings and Building Improvements

     25 – 40   

Machinery and Equipment

     3 – 14   

Goodwill. Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses, and other intangible assets are stated at cost. Potential impairment of goodwill is identified by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, using a combination of market values for comparable businesses and discounted cash flow projections, to its carrying value including goodwill. Goodwill was allocated to the reporting units at the time of the acquisition based on the relative fair values of the reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, any impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value. Goodwill is tested for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or when facts and circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily PP&E and certain identifiable intangible assets with finite lives, may be impaired, the Company performs a recoverability evaluation. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows. Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are presented in the balance sheet at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.

Taxes on Income. The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes represent the future expected tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities based upon enacted tax rates and laws. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

The with-and-without approach is used to account for utilization of windfall tax benefits arising from the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and only the direct impact of awards is considered when calculating the amount of windfalls or shortfalls. The Company uses the deferral method for accounting for investment tax credits. Income tax-related interest is reported as interest expense and penalties are reported as income tax expense.

Derivatives and Hedging. All outstanding derivative financial instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values. The impact on earnings from recognizing the fair values of these instruments depends on their intended use, their hedge designation and their effectiveness in offsetting changes in the fair values of the exposures they are hedging. Changes in the fair values of instruments designated to reduce or eliminate adverse fluctuations in the fair values of recognized assets and liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments are reported currently in earnings along with changes in the fair values of the hedged items. Changes in the effective portions of the fair values of instruments

 

-10-


Crown Holdings, Inc.

 

used to reduce or eliminate adverse fluctuations in cash flows of anticipated or forecasted transactions are reported in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged items impact earnings or the anticipated transactions are no longer probable. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are reported currently in earnings. Amounts reported in earnings are classified consistent with the item being hedged.

The effectiveness of derivative instruments in reducing risks associated with the hedged exposures is assessed at inception and on an ongoing basis. Any amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and any ineffective portion of designated hedges, are reported currently in earnings. Time value, a component of an instrument’s fair value, is excluded in assessing effectiveness for fair value hedges, except hedges of firm commitments, and included for cash flow hedges.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when (i) the instrument is no longer effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the underlying hedged item, (ii) the instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised, or (iii) designating the instrument as a hedge is no longer appropriate.

The Company formally documents all relationships between its hedging instruments and hedged items at inception, including its risk management objective and strategy for establishing various hedge relationships. Cash flows from hedging instruments are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consistent with the items being hedged.

Treasury Stock. Treasury stock is reported at par value. The excess of fair value over par value is first charged to paid-in capital, if any, and then to retained earnings.

Research and Development. Net research, development and engineering costs of $43, $42 and $42 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were expensed as incurred and reported in selling and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Substantially all engineering and development costs are related to developing new products or designing significant improvements to existing products or processes. Costs primarily include employee salaries and benefits and facility costs.

Reclassifications and Retrospective Adjustments. These consolidated financial statements include certain reclassifications and retrospective adjustments that have been made to the consolidated financial statements that were filed by the Company in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, including:

 

   

These consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for changes in the presentation of comprehensive income as described below under Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements.

 

   

The condensed combining balance sheet of Crown European Holdings SA at December 31, 2011 in Note Z was retroactively revised to reclassify a consolidation entry to net certain value added tax receivables and payables from non-guarantor subsidiaries to guarantor subsidiaries. The impact was a $226 decrease to both receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of guarantor subsidiaries with a corresponding increase to non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the FASB’s amended guidance on transfers of financial assets. The guidance removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, establishes a new “participating interest” definition that must be met for transfers of portions of financial assets to be eligible for sale accounting and clarifies and amends the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale. As a result of adopting the guidance, the Company’s receivables securitization and certain factoring facilities are now accounted for as secured borrowings. The impact of adopting the new guidance was to increase both the Company’s receivables and short-term debt on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 and to increase both net cash used for operating activities and net cash provided by financing activities on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 by $208.

In September 2011, the FASB issued changes to the testing of goodwill for impairment. These changes give companies the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that an impairment is more likely than not, the entity is then required to perform the existing two-step quantitative impairment test. An entity also may elect

 

-11-


Crown Holdings, Inc.

 

not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, go directly to the two-step quantitative impairment test. The Company early adopted the changes for its review of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2011. As the changes do not affect the outcome of the impairment analysis of a reporting unit, there was no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued revised disclosure requirements for companies that participate in multiemployer pension plans. The disclosures are intended to provide more information about an employer’s financial obligations to a multiemployer pension plan and about the financial health of significant plans in which the employer participates. The disclosures are required for individually significant plans and include legal name and employer identification number of the plan, amount of employer contributions to each significant plan, whether the employer’s contributions represent more than 5% of total contributions to the plan and an indication of which plans, if any, are subject to a funding improvement plan or are considered in critical or endangered status. The Company evaluated its participation in multiemployer plans and determined that none are individually significant and the revised disclosure requirements did not impact the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2012, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the presentation of comprehensive income. These changes give companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The changes eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income were not changed. Additionally, no changes were made to the calculation and presentation of earnings per share. Other than changes to presentation, these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The financial statements included in this report are presented in accordance with these changes and all prior period information has been reclassified.

The Company utilizes receivable securitization facilities in the normal course of business as part of managing its cash flows. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has a $200 securitization facility available in North America. The Company has determined that transactions under this facility do not qualify for sale accounting and has therefore accounted for the transactions as secured borrowings with the receivables and associated liabilities recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition, the Company utilizes receivables factoring arrangements in the normal course of business as part of managing cash flows for its European operations. Under these arrangements, the Company sells its entire interest in specified receivables to various third parties. Where the Company has surrendered control over factored receivables, the Company has accounted for the transfers as sales.

 

-12-


Crown Holdings, Inc.

 

The Company’s continuing involvement in factored receivables accounted for as sales is limited to servicing the receivables. The Company receives adequate compensation for servicing the receivables and no servicing asset or liability is recorded.

At December 31, the amounts securitized or factored were as follows:

 

     2011      2010  

Accounted for as secured borrowings

   $ 113       $ 208   

Accounted for as sales

   $ 297       $ 210   

In 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded expenses related to securitization and factoring facilities of $10 in each year as interest expense.

Collections from customers on securitized or factored receivables and related fees and costs are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Proceeds and repayments related to securitization or factoring transactions that do not qualify for sale accounting are included in financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

J. Lease Commitments

The Company leases manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities and certain equipment. Certain non-cancelable leases are classified as capital leases and are included in property, plant and equipment. Other long-term non-cancelable leases are classified as operating leases and are not capitalized. Certain of the leases contain renewal or purchase options, but the leases do not contain significant contingent rental payments, escalation clauses, rent holidays, rent concessions or leasehold improvement incentives. The amount of capital leases reported as capital assets, net of accumulated amortization, was $1 and $2 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Under long-term operating leases, minimum annual rentals are $54 in 2012, $41 in 2013, $26 in 2014, $17 in 2015, $12 in 2016 and $43 thereafter. Such rental commitments have been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $7 due under non-cancelable subleases. The present value of future minimum payments on capital leases was $1 as of December 31, 2011. Rental expense (net of sublease rental income) was $62, $60 and $62 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization of capital leases is reported in depreciation and amortization expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

 

 

K. Provision for Asbestos

Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. (“Crown Cork”) is one of many defendants in a substantial number of lawsuits filed throughout the U.S. by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These claims arose from the insulation operations of a U.S. company, the majority of whose stock Crown Cork purchased in 1963. Approximately ninety days after the stock purchase, this U.S. company sold its insulation assets and was later merged into Crown Cork.

Prior to 1998, amounts paid to asbestos claimants were covered by a fund made available to Crown Cork under a 1985 settlement with carriers insuring Crown Cork through 1976, when Crown Cork became self-insured. The fund was depleted in 1998 and the Company has no remaining coverage for asbestos-related costs.

During 2010 and 2011, the states of Alabama, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming enacted legislation that limits asbestos-related liabilities under state law of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos.

Similar legislation was enacted in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin in recent years. The legislation, which applies to future and, with the exception of Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming, pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the fair market value of the predecessor’s total gross assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total value of its predecessor’s assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has integrated the legislation into its claims defense strategy. The Company cautions, however, that the legislation may be challenged and there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate effect of the legislation on Crown Cork.

In June 2003, the State of Texas enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities in Texas courts of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The Texas legislation, which applies to future claims and pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the total gross value of the predecessor’s assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total adjusted value of its predecessor’s assets.

On October 22, 2010, the Texas Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision, reversed a lower court decision, Barbara Robinson v. Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., No. 14-04-00658-CV, Fourteenth Court of Appeals, Texas, which had upheld the dismissal of an asbestos-related case against Crown Cork. The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas legislation was unconstitutional under the Texas Constitution when applied to asbestos-related claims pending against Crown Cork when the legislation was enacted in June of 2003. In 2010, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $15 including estimated legal fees to increase its accrual for asbestos related costs for claims pending in Texas on June 11, 2003. The Company believes that the decision of the Texas Supreme Court is limited to retroactive application of the Texas legislation to asbestos-related cases that were pending against Crown Cork in Texas on June 11, 2003 and therefore continues to assign no value to claims filed after June 11, 2003.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

 

In December 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities of Pennsylvania corporations that are successors by corporate merger to companies involved with asbestos. The legislation limits the successor’s liability for asbestos to the acquired company’s asset value adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the acquired company’s adjusted asset value. In November 2004, the legislation was amended to address a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision (Ieropoli v. AC&S Corporation, et. al., No. 117 EM 2002) which held that the statute violated the Pennsylvania Constitution due to retroactive application. The Company cautions that the limitations of the statute, as amended, are subject to litigation and may not be upheld. Adverse rulings in cases challenging the constitutionality of the Pennsylvania statute could have a material impact on the Company.

The Company’s approximate claims activity for the years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

 

     2011     2010     2009  

Beginning claims

     50,000        50,000        50,000   

New claims

     2,000        2,000        3,000

     (2,000     (2,000     (3,000
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Ending claims

     50,000        50,000        50,000   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

The Company’s approximate cash payments during the years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

 

     2011      2010      2009  

Asbestos-related payments

   $ 28       $ 27       $ 26   

Settled claims payments

     20         17         17   

As of December 31, the Company’s outstanding claims by year of exposure and state filed were approximately as follows:

 

     2011      2010  

Claimants alleging first exposure after 1964

     15,000         15,000   

Claimants alleging first exposure before or during 1964 filed in:

     

Texas

     12,000         12,000   

Pennsylvania

     2,000         2,000   

Other states that have enacted asbestos legislation

     6,000         6,000   

Other states

     15,000         15,000   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total claims outstanding

     50,000         50,000   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The outstanding claims in each period exclude 3,100 pending claims involving plaintiffs who allege that they are, or were, maritime workers subject to exposure to asbestos, but whose claims the Company believes will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flow. The outstanding claims also exclude approximately 19,000 inactive claims. Due to the passage of time, the Company considers it unlikely that the plaintiffs in these cases will pursue further action against the Company. The exclusion of these inactive claims had no effect on the calculation of the Company’s accrual as the claims were filed in states, as described above, where the Company’s liability is limited by statute.

Historically (1977-2011), Crown Cork estimates that approximately one-quarter of all asbestos-related claims made against it have been asserted by claimants who claim first exposure to asbestos after 1964.

With respect to claimants alleging first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlements in states where the Company’s liability is limited by statute except for certain pending claims in Texas as described above.

With respect to post-1964 claims, regardless of the existence of asbestos legislation, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlement of these claims because of increased difficulty of establishing identification of relevant insulation products as the cause of injury. Given our settlement experience with post-1964 claims, we do not believe that an adverse ruling in the Texas or Pennsylvania asbestos litigation cases, or in any other state that has enacted asbestos legislation, would have a material impact on the Company with respect to such claims.

As of December 31 for the years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, the percentage of outstanding claims related to claimants alleging serious diseases (primarily mesothelioma and other malignancies) were approximately as follows:

 

     2011     2010     2009  

Total claims

     18     18     16

Pre-1964 claims in states without asbestos legislation

     33     31     29

Crown Cork has entered into arrangements with plaintiffs’ counsel in certain jurisdictions with respect to claims which are not yet filed, or asserted, against us. However, Crown Cork expects claims under these arrangements to be filed or asserted against Crown Cork in the future. The projected value of these claims is included in the Company’s estimated liability as of December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s accrual for pending and future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was $249 and $249, including $198 and $196 for unasserted claims. The Company’s accrual as of December 31, 2011 includes estimated probable costs for claims through the year 2021. The Company’s accrual excludes potential costs for claims beyond 2021 because the Company believes that the key assumptions underlying its accrual are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens.

Approximately 88% of the claims outstanding at the end of 2011 were filed by plaintiffs who do not claim a specific amount of damages or claim a minimum amount as established by court rules relating to jurisdiction; approximately 11% were filed by plaintiffs who claim damages of less than $5; approximately 1% were filed by plaintiffs who claim damages from $5 to less than $100 (90% of whom claim damages less than $25) and 9 were filed by plaintiffs who claim damages in excess of $100.

It is reasonably possible that the actual loss could be in excess of the Company’s accrual. However, the Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss in excess of its accrual due to uncertainty in the following assumptions that underlie the Company’s accrual and the possibility of losses in excess of such accrual: the amount of damages sought by the claimant, the Company and claimant’s willingness to negotiate a settlement, the terms of settlements of other defendants with asbestos-related liabilities, the bankruptcy filings of other defendants (which may result in additional claims and higher settlements for non-bankrupt defendants), the nature of pending and future claims (including the seriousness of alleged disease, whether claimants allege first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964 and the claimant’s ability to demonstrate the alleged link to Crown Cork), the volatility of the litigation environment, the defense strategies available to the Company, the level of future claims, the rate of receipt of claims, the jurisdiction in which claims are filed, and the effect of state asbestos legislation (including the validity and applicability of the Pennsylvania legislation to non-Pennsylvania jurisdictions, where the substantial majority of the Company’s asbestos cases are filed).

 

 

 

L. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company, along with others in most cases, has been identified by the EPA or a comparable state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at a number of sites and has recorded aggregate accruals of $6 for its share of estimated future remediation costs at these sites. The Company has been identified as having either directly or indirectly disposed of commercial or industrial waste at the sites subject to the accrual, and where appropriate and supported by available information, generally has agreed to be responsible for a percentage of future remediation costs based on an estimated volume of materials disposed in proportion to the total materials disposed at each site. The Company has not had monetary sanctions imposed nor has the Company been notified of any potential monetary sanctions at any of the sites. The Company has also recorded aggregate accruals of $8 for remediation activities at various worldwide locations that are owned by the Company and for which the Company is not a member of a PRP group. Actual expenditures for remediation were $2 in each of the years 2011, 2010 and 2009.

The Company records an undiscounted environmental reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Reserves at December 31, 2011 are primarily for asserted claims and are based on internal and external environmental studies. The Company expects that the liabilities will be paid out over the period of remediation for the applicable sites, which in some cases may exceed ten years. Although the Company believes its reserves are adequate, there can be no assurance that the ultimate payments will not exceed the amount of the Company’s reserves and will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flow. Any possible loss or range of potential loss that may be incurred in excess of the recorded accruals cannot be estimated.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

 

In August 2010, the Spanish National Antitrust Commission issued a Proposal for Resolution (Propuesta de Resolución) alleging that Crown European Holdings SA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and one of its subsidiaries violated Spanish and European competition law by coordinating certain commercial terms and exchanging information with competitors in Spain. The Proposal for Resolution does not constitute a decision on the merits and was replied to by the Company. In May 2011, the Antitrust Commission concluded that there was no violation and closed the investigation without rendering a formal decision. There can be no assurance that the Antitrust Commission will not re-open its investigation against the Company’s subsidiary in the event new facts or other circumstances justify a new investigation.

In July 2010, a subsidiary of the Company became aware of an investigation by the Netherlands Competition Authority in relation to competition law matters. In April 2011, the Netherlands Competition Authority terminated its investigation having found no evidence to support any charges against the Company’s subsidiary. There can be no assurance that the Netherlands Competition Authority will not re-open its investigation against the Company’s subsidiary in the event new facts or other circumstances justify a new investigation.

The Company’s Italian subsidiaries have received and expect to receive additional assessments for value added taxes and related income taxes from the Italian tax authorities resulting from certain third party suppliers’ failures to remit required value added tax payments due by those suppliers under Italian law with respect to purchases for resale to the Company. The assessments cover tax periods 2004, 2005 and 2006 and additional assessments are expected to cover periods 2007 through 2009. The expected total assessments resulting from these third party suppliers failing to remit the tax payments are approximately €40 ($52 at December 31, 2011) plus any applicable interest and penalties. In early 2012, the Company received rulings from lower level Italian courts on certain of the assessments of which one was favorable and the other was unfavorable to the Company. The Company expects both rulings to be appealed. The Company continues to believe that, if necessary, it should be able to successfully dispute the assessments and demonstrate in the appropriate Italian courts that it has no additional liability for the asserted taxes. While the Company intends to dispute the assessments, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in such disputes or regarding the final amount of additional taxes, if any, payable to the Italian tax authorities.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to various other lawsuits and claims with respect to labor, environmental, securities, vendor and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. While the impact on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists, management believes that the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

The Company has various commitments to purchase materials, supplies and utilities totaling approximately $5,618 as of December 31, 2011 as part of the ordinary conduct of business. The Company’s basic raw materials for its products are steel and aluminum, both of which are purchased from multiple sources. The Company is subject to fluctuations in the cost of these raw materials and has periodically adjusted its selling prices to reflect these movements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to fully recover any increases or fluctuations in raw material costs from its customers. The Company also has commitments for standby letters of credit and for purchases of capital assets.

In January 2010, the Company received a one time payment of $20 as part of an overall resolution of a long-time dispute unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations, customers or vendors, and recorded a gain of $20 within selling and administrative expense.

At December 31, 2011 the Company had certain indemnification agreements covering environmental remediation, lease payments, and other potential costs associated with properties sold or businesses divested. For agreements with defined liability limits the maximum potential amount of future liability was $12. Several agreements outstanding at December 31, 2011 did not provide liability limits. The Company also has guarantees of $15 related to the residual value of leased assets at December 31, 2011.

Other exit costs of $19 in 2011 represent the estimated employee compensation costs resulting from an intercompany payment related to the relocation. The Company expects to pay these costs over the next one to four years.

North America Food

In 2009 and 2010, the Company initiated restructuring actions to reduce cost through consolidation of certain U.S. and Canadian operations resulting in the closure of certain Canadian plants and headcount reductions of approximately 400.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company incurred total costs of $55 related to the closures and may incur future additional charges for pension settlements of approximately $5 when the Company receives regulatory approval and settles the obligations.

These actions are expected to be completed in 2013.

Other Europe

In 2009, the Company initiated restructuring actions to reduce headcount as part of ongoing cost reduction efforts throughout Europe. These actions resulted in headcount reductions of approximately 90 and a total cost of $5. In 2011, the Company initiated further restructurings throughout Western Europe, primarily in its European Aerosol operations, to reduce manufacturing capacity and headcount by approximately 360 employees. The Company expects these actions to be completed in 2013 at a total cost of $53.

N. Asset Impairments and Sales

During 2011, the Company recorded a net charge of $6 for asset impairments and sales including a loss of $4 for the insurance deductible related to its beverage can plant in Thailand that was shut down in October due to damage caused by severe flooding. As a result of the flooding, the company wrote-off $23 of property, plant and equipment which was fully offset by anticipated insurance proceeds which the Company recognized because realization of such proceeds is considered probable.

During 2010, the Company recorded a net gain of $18 for asset impairments and sales including a gain of $14 from sales of Canadian real estate as a result of previously announced plant closings and $4 from the sale of the Company’s plastic closures business in Brazil.

During 2009, the Company recorded a net gain of $6 for asset impairments and sales including a gain of $8 from the sale of surplus land in a European food can business, partially offset by $2 of other net losses from asset sales and impairment charges.

During 2011, the Company repurchased shares of its common stock pursuant to accelerated share repurchase agreements as follows:

 

   

In April, the Company paid $6 to settle the purchase price adjustment of an accelerated share repurchase agreement from December 2010. The payment did not result in the Company receiving any additional shares.

 

   

In May, the Company paid $200 to purchase 5,018,701 shares of its common stock under an accelerated share repurchase program.

 

   

In December, the Company paid $100 to purchase shares of its common stock under an accelerated repurchase program. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company initially purchased 2,771,004 shares. The total number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the Company’s volume-weighted average stock price (subject to provisions establishing a maximum price) during the term of the transaction, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.

The share repurchases were made pursuant to an authorization from the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase up to $600 of the Company’s common stock through the end of 2012. Share repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market conditions. As of December 31, 2011, $294 of the Company’s outstanding common stock may be repurchased under this program.

The Company is not obligated to acquire any shares of its common stock and the share repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. Share repurchases are subject to the terms of the Company’s debt agreements, market conditions and other factors. The repurchased shares, if any, are expected to be used for the Company’s stock-based benefit plans, as required, and to offset dilution resulting from the issuance of shares thereunder, and for other general corporate purposes.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

 

The Board of Directors has the authority to issue, at any time or from time to time, up to 30 million shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series of classes. Such shares of preferred stock would not be entitled to more than one vote per share when voting as a class with holders of the Company’s common stock. The voting rights and such designations, preferences, limitations and special rights are subject to the terms of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, determined by the Board of Directors.

In 2003, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholders’ Rights Plan, as amended in 2004, and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of common stock. Such rights only become exercisable, or transferable apart from the common stock, after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of, or commences a tender or exchange offer for, 15% or more of the Company’s common stock. Each right then may be exercised to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $200, subject to adjustment. Alternatively, under certain circumstances involving the acquisition by a person or group of 15% or more of the Company’s common stock, each right will entitle its holder to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the right. In the event the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after a person or group has acquired 15% or more of the Company’s common stock, each right will entitle its holder to purchase a number of the acquiring company’s common shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of the right. The rights may be redeemed by the Company at $.01 per right at any time until the tenth day following public announcement that a 15% position has been acquired. The rights expire on August 10, 2015.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends and repurchase its common stock is limited by certain restrictions in its debt agreements. These restrictions are subject to a number of exceptions, however, allowing the Company to make otherwise restricted payments. The amount of restricted payments permitted to be made, including dividends and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, is generally limited to the cumulative excess of $200 plus 50% of adjusted net income plus proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options over the aggregate of restricted payments made since July 2004. Adjustments to net income may include, but are not limited to, items such as asset impairments, gains and losses from asset sales and early extinguishments of debt.

 

 

 

P. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s shareholder-approved stock-based incentive compensation plans provide for the granting of awards in the form of stock options, deferred stock, restricted stock or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The awards may be subject to the achievement of certain performance goals, generally based on market conditions, as determined by the Plan Committee designated by the Company’s Board of Directors. Shares awarded under the plans are issued from the Company’s treasury shares. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 2.0 million shares are available for future awards under the Company’s 2006 stock-based incentive compensation plan. There have been no awards of SARs or deferred stock.

Stock-based compensation expense was as follows:

Outstanding stock options have a contractual term of ten years, are fixed-price and non-qualified. Options granted in 2007 or later vest over six years at 20% per year with initial vesting on the second anniversary of the grant.

Options outstanding at December 31, 2011 had an aggregate intrinsic value (which is the amount by which the stock price exceeded the exercise price of the options as of December 31, 2011) of $55. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $15, $24 and $22, respectively. Cash received from exercise of stock options during 2011 was $11.

At December 31, 2011, shares that were fully vested or expected to vest had an aggregate intrinsic value of $55 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 4.2 years, and shares exercisable had an aggregate intrinsic value of $44 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 3.7 years. Also at December 31, 2011, there was approximately $6 of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding nonvested stock options with a weighted average recognition period of 1.5 years.

Stock options are valued at their grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Valuations incorporate several variables, including expected term, expected volatility, and a risk-free interest rate. The expected term (which is the timeframe under which an award is exercised after grant) is derived from historical data about participant exercise and post-vesting employment termination patterns. Volatility is the expected fluctuation of the Company’s stock price in the market and is derived from a combination of historical data about the Company’s stock price and implied volatilities based on market data. The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the date of the grant which has a contractual life similar to the option’s expected term.

The fair values of stock option grants during 2011, 2010 and 2009 were estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     2011     2010     2009  

Risk-free interest rate

     2.4     2.6     2.7

Expected life of option (years)

     6.8        6.0        6.0   

Expected stock price volatility

     31.7     33.2     33.7

Expected dividend yield

     0.0     0.0     0.0

The weighted average grant-date fair values for options granted during 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $14.98, $10.14 and $10.01, respectively. The Company has assumed an annual forfeiture rate of between three and five percent in each year based on historical data of the forfeiture of nonvested share-based awards through the termination of service by plan participants.

Restricted Stock

Each year the Company awards shares to certain senior executives in the form of time-vested restricted stock and performance-based shares. The restricted stock vests ratably over three years on the anniversary date of the award. The performance-based shares cliff vest at the end of three years on the anniversary date of the award. The number of performance-based shares that will ultimately vest is based on the level of performance achieved, ranging between 0% and 200% of the shares originally awarded and will be settled in shares of common stock. The market performance criteria is the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”), which includes share price appreciation and

dividends paid, during the three-year term of the award measured against the TSR of a peer group of companies. Under the awards, participants who terminate employment for retirement, disability or death receive accelerated vesting of their time-vested awards to the date of termination. Performance-based awards will be issued to the terminated participants on the original vesting date.

A summary of transactions during the year ended December 31, 2011 follows:

The grant date fair value of restricted stock awarded in 2011, 2010 and 2009 follows:

 

     2011      2010      2009  

Time-vested restricted stock

Performance-based shares

   $ 41.69       $ 36.25       $ 23.10   

The 2011 awards included 121,940 shares of time-vested restricted stock and 196,667 performance-based shares. Additional performance-based shares of 145,278 were issued without restriction because the Company exceeded the level of performance established on the original date of the award in 2008 by 100%. The fair value of the performance-based shares awarded was calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The variables used in the model included stock price volatility of 37.9%, an expected term of three years, and a risk-free interest rate of 1.02% along with other factors associated with the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and shareholder returns when compared to the companies in the peer group.

As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $6 of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding nonvested restricted and performance-based stock awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of one year. The aggregate intrinsic value of shares that were released on the vesting dates during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, including additional performance-based shares issued, was $18, $13 and $11, respectively.

R. Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP a framework exists for measuring fair value, providing a three-tier fair value hierarchy of pricing inputs used to report assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value. Level 1 includes inputs such as quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the report date. Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the report date. Level 3 includes unobservable pricing inputs that are not corroborated by market data or other objective sources. The Company has no items valued using Level 3 inputs other than certain pension plan assets as disclosed in Note V.

The following table sets forth the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, comprised of derivative instruments, that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011.

The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company applies a market approach to value its commodity price hedge contracts. Prices from observable markets are used to develop the fair value of these financial instruments and they are reported under Level 1. The Company uses an income approach to value its foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are valued using a discounted cash flow model that calculates the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts using market information as of the reporting date, such as prevailing interest rates and foreign exchange spot and forward rates, and are reported under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

See Note S for further discussion of the Company’s use of derivative instruments and their fair values at December 31, 2011, and Note V for fair value disclosures related to pension plan assets.

S. Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company’s objective in managing exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow. The extent to which the Company uses derivative financial instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk and using sales agreements that permit the pass-through of commodity price and foreign exchange rate risk to customers.

For derivative financial instruments accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner in which effectiveness will be assessed. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the instruments is recognized immediately in earnings.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges. No components of the hedging instruments are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in fair value of outstanding derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, except any ineffective portion, are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction. Classification of the gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon release from comprehensive income is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Contracts outstanding at December 31, 2011 mature between one and thirty-five months.

When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that an anticipated transaction will occur in the originally specified period, changes to fair value accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings.

The Company uses commodity forwards to hedge anticipated purchases of various commodities, including aluminum, fuel oil and natural gas and these exposures are hedged by a central treasury unit.

The Company also designates certain foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign-currency-denominated sales or purchases. The Company manages these risks at the operating unit level. Often the hedging of foreign currency risk is performed in concert with related commodity price hedges.

The following table sets forth financial information about the impact on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and earnings from changes in fair value related to derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges.

(2) Within the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, $6 was charged to net sales and $1 was credited to cost of products sold. Within the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, $10 was credited to net sales and $6 was charged to cost of products sold.
(3) Within the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, $25 was credited to cost of products sold and $7 was charged to income tax expense. Within the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, $10 was credited to cost of products sold and $3 was charged to income tax expense.

For the year ending December 31, 2012, a net loss of $59 ($50, net of tax) is expected to be reclassified to earnings. The actual amount that will be reclassified may differ from this amount due to changing market conditions. No amounts were reclassified during the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with anticipated transactions that were no longer considered probable and the ineffective portion recorded in earnings was less than $1.

Fair Value Hedges and Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as fair value hedges of recognized foreign-denominated assets and liabilities, generally trade accounts receivable and payable and unrecognized firm commitments. The notional values and maturity dates of the derivative instruments coincide with those of the hedged items. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments, excluding time value, are offset by changes in fair value of the related hedged items. Other than for firm commitments, amounts related to time value are excluded from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness and are reported in earnings. Less than $1 was reported in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Certain derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts related to intercompany debt, were not designated or did not qualify for hedge accounting; however, they are effective economic hedges as the changes in their fair value, except for time value, are offset by changes in remeasurement of the related hedged items. The Company’s primary use of these derivative instruments is to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in earnings as foreign exchange adjustments.

The impact on earnings of foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges was less than $1 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and a gain of $1 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The impact on earnings of foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedges was a loss of $33 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and a gain of $16 for the year ended December 31, 2010. These items were reported as translation and foreign exchange and were offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged items.

T. Noncontrolling Interests

In 2011, the Company paid an aggregate of $202 to purchase the remaining public ownership interests in Hellas Can, its public holding company in Greece and to increase its ownership interests in its subsidiaries in Dubai, Beijing and Shanghai to 100% and in Jordan and Tunisia to 60%.

In 2010, the Company paid an aggregate of $169 to acquire the remaining ownership interests in the holding companies for its four joint ventures in China and its joint venture in Hanoi, Vietnam, and to increase its ownership interests in Hellas Can, its public holding Company in Greece, to 85%, and its subsidiaries in Dong Nai, Vietnam to 96% and Senegal to 100%.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

 

The accounting guidance requires changes in noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control and where there is a difference between fair value and carrying value to be accounted for as equity transactions. The effect on net income attributable to the Company had purchases of noncontrolling interests been recorded through net income is as follows:

 

     2011     2010     2009

   $ 163      $ 210      $ 334   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Additionally, in 2009, the Company acquired a 70% interest in a beverage can production facility in Dong Nai, Vietnam for $22, net of cash acquired. The facility had not commenced commercial production at the time it was acquired by the Company. The overall purchase price allocation included $28 to property, plant and equipment, $4 to accrued liabilities, and $2 to noncontrolling interests.

 

 

 

U. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Crown Holdings. Basic EPS excludes all potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Crown Holdings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the effect of stock options and restricted stock as calculated under the treasury stock method.

Common shares contingently issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options of 0.1 million in 2011, 0.3 million in 2010 and 3.5 million in 2009 were excluded from diluted shares outstanding. These shares had exercise prices above the average market price for the related periods and would have been anti-dilutive.

For purposes of calculating assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method when determining the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, the Company excludes the impact of proforma deferred tax assets arising in connection with stock-based compensation.

The Company’s investment strategy in its U.S. plan is designed to generate returns that are consistent with providing benefits to plan participants within the risk tolerance of the plan. Asset allocation is the primary determinant of return levels and investment risk exposure. The assets of the plan are broadly diversified in terms of securities and security types in order to limit the potential of large losses from any one security.

The strategic ranges for asset allocation in the U.S. plan are as follows:

 

U.S. equities

   35% to 45%

International equities

   10% to 20%

Fixed income

   12% to 22%

Real estate

     0% to   5%

Private equity

     5% to 10%

Hedge funds

   15% to 20%

The Company’s investment strategy in its U.K. plan, the largest non-U.S. plan, is designed to achieve a funding level of 100% within the next 15 years by targeting an expected return (net of fees) of 2.4% annually in excess of the expected growth in the liabilities. The company seeks to achieve this return with a risk level commensurate with a 5% chance of the funding level falling between 5% and 9% in any one year. The strategic ranges for asset allocation in the U.K. plan are as follows:

 

Investment grade credit

   40% to 80%

Equities

     0% to 30%

Hedge funds

     0% to 10%

Real estate

     0% to   5%

Private equity

     0% to 15%

Emerging market wealth

     0% to   5%

Pension assets are classified into three levels. Level 1 asset values are derived from quoted prices which are available in active markets as of the report date. Level 2 asset values are derived from other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the report date. Level 3 asset values are derived from unobservable pricing inputs that are not corroborated by market data or other objective sources.

Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted prices taken from the primary exchange on which the security trades. Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held at year-end. Fixed income securities, including government issued debt, corporate debt, asset-backed and structured debt securities are valued using market inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other reference data including market research publications. Derivatives, which consist mainly of interest rate swaps, are valued using a discounted cash flow pricing model based on observable market data. Investment funds, hedge funds and private equity funds are valued at the NAV at year-end. The values assigned to private equity funds are based upon assessments of each underlying investment, incorporating valuations that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable transactions, and performance multiples among other factors. Real estate investments are based on third party appraisals as of year-end.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair value. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in different fair value measurements at the reporting date.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The levels assigned to the defined benefit plan assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are summarized in the tables below:

Long-term rate of return

     7.0     7.2     7.0

The expected long-term rates of return are determined at each measurement date based on a review of the actual plan assets, the target allocation, and the historical returns of the capital markets.

The U.S. plan’s 2011 assumed asset rate of return was based on a calculation using underlying assumed rates of return of 9.94% for equity securities and alternative investments, and 5.1% for debt securities and real estate. The rate of return used for equity securities and alternative investments was based on the total return of the S&P 500 for the 25 year period ended December 31, 2010. The Company believes that the equity securities included in the S&P 500 are representative of the equity securities and alternative investments held by its U.S. plan, and that this period provides a sufficient time horizon as a basis for estimating future returns. The rate of return used for debt securities is consistent with the U.S. plan discount rate and the return on AA corporate bonds with duration equal to the plan’s liabilities. The underlying debt securities in the plan are primarily invested in various corporate and government agency securities and are benchmarked against returns on AA corporate bonds.

The U.K. plan’s 2011 assumed asset rate of return was based on a calculation using underlying assumed rates of return of 10.4% for equity securities and alternative investments, and 5.5% for debt securities and real estate. Equity securities in the U.K. plan as of December 31, 2010 were allocated approximately 45% to U.S. securities, 8% to U.K. securities, 11% to securities in European countries other than the U.K., and 36% to securities in other countries. The assumed rate of return for equity securities and alternative investments represents the weighted average 25 year return of equity securities in these markets. The Company believes that the equity securities included in the related market indexes are representative of the equity securities and alternative investments held by its U.K. plan, and that this period provides a sufficient time horizon as a basis for estimating future returns.

Other Postretirement Benefit Plans. The Company sponsors unfunded plans to provide health care and life insurance benefits to pensioners and survivors. Generally, the medical plans pay a stated percentage of medical expenses reduced by deductibles and other coverages. Life insurance benefits are generally provided by insurance contracts. The Company reserves the right, subject to existing agreements, to change, modify or discontinue the plans. A measurement date of December 31 was used for the plans presented below.

The estimated portions of the net losses and prior service credits that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost/(credit) in 2012 are $15 and ($44).

In 2011, the U.S. plans were amended to, among other things, eliminate health coverage for retirees who are not yet eligible for Medicare. In 2010, the U.S. plans were amended to, among other things, require additional retiree contributions for medical and prescription drug costs.

Expected future benefit payments are net of expected Medicare Part D subsidies of $4. Benefits paid in 2011 are net of $1 of subsidies.

The other items caption for 2011 includes $55 of increase due to tax charges in connection with the relocation of the Company’s European headquarters and management to Switzerland. The tax charges were partially offset by $30 of valuation allowance release included in the valuation allowance caption.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

 

The valuation allowance caption for 2009 includes benefits for the releases of valuation allowance in the U.S. and France based on future income projections, in France based on current year income and in Germany due to a change in tax law that allowed the Company to use tax losses that it previously could not use.

The Company paid taxes of $107, $102 and $73 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, $99 and $87 of deferred tax assets were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Tax loss and credit carryforwards expire as follows: 2012 - $23; 2013 - $7; 2014 - $5; 2015 - $18; 2016 - $13; thereafter - $356; unlimited - $177. Tax loss and credit carryforwards expiring after 2016 include $190 of state tax loss carryforwards. The unlimited category includes $116 of French tax loss carryfowards. The tax loss carryforwards presented above exclude $44 of U.S. windfall tax benefits that will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when realized.

Realization of any portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the availability of taxable income in the relevant jurisdictions. The Company considers all sources of taxable income, including (i) taxable income in any available carry back period, (ii) the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (iii) tax-planning strategies, and (iv) taxable income expected to be generated in the future other than from reversing temporary differences. The Company also considers whether there have been cumulative losses in recent years. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company’s valuation allowances of $359 at December 31, 2011 include $175 in the U.S., $84 in France, $74 in Canada and $13 in Belgium.

The Company’s valuation allowance in the U.S. includes $148 for state tax loss carryforwards and $25 for U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards. The Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be utilized prior to their expiration. The Company’s ability to utilize state tax loss carryforwards is impacted by several factors including expiration dates, limitations imposed by certain states on the amount of loss carryforwards that can be used in a given year to offset taxable income and whether the state permits the Company to file a combined return. The Company’s ability to utilize its capital loss carryforwards, which expire in 2012 and 2013, is dependent upon the availability of future capital gain income which the Company does not currently project.

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in France because the Company does not believe at this time that it is more likely than not that it will realize any deferred tax benefits in France, primarily due to a restructuring of the Company’s operations which will reduce its profits in France.

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in Canada because the Company does not believe at this time that it is more likely than not that it will realize any deferred tax benefits in Canada. The Company’s Canadian operations incurred a loss in 2011 and remain in a three year cumulative loss position.

The Company’s valuation allowance in Belgium is for tax loss carryforwards in a dormant entity that do not expire, but the Company does not believe at this time it will be able to utilize the loss carryforwards.

Management’s estimates of the appropriate valuation allowance in any jurisdiction involve a number of assumptions and judgments, including the amount and timing of future taxable income. Should future results differ from management’s estimates, it is possible there could be future adjustments to the valuation allowances that would result in an increase or decrease in tax expense in the period such changes in estimates are made.

The Company has not provided deferred taxes on $1,024 of earnings in certain non-U.S. subsidiaries because such earnings are indefinitely reinvested in its international operations. Upon distribution of such earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to incremental tax.

The Company’s reserves as presented primarily include potential liabilities related to transfer pricing, foreign withholding taxes, and non-deductibility of expenses and exclude $3 of penalties in each year. Interest and penalties are recorded in the statement of operations as interest expense and provision for income taxes, respectively. The total interest and penalties recorded in the statement of operations was $1 in each of the last three years.

The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 include $31 that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The remaining balance would have no effect due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are expected to increase in the next twelve months as it continues its current transfer pricing policies, and are expected to decrease as open tax years lapse or claims are settled. The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months as it is unable to predict when, or if, the tax authorities will commence their audits, the time needed for the audits, and the audit findings that will require settlement with the applicable tax authorities, if any.

The tax years that remained subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction as of December 31, 2011 were 2002 and subsequent years for Canada; 2006 and subsequent years for Spain and the United Kingdom; 2007 and subsequent years for Italy; 2008 and subsequent years for the U.S.; 2009 and subsequent years for France and 2010 and subsequent years for Germany.

Y. Subsequent Event (Unaudited)

On December 13, 2012, the Company committed to a restructuring plan for its European operations subject to confirmation following completion of consultation processes with employee representatives. The plan, which was in response to the Company’s ongoing monitoring of manufacturing capacity, is expected to be completed in 2013 and is designed to reduce manufacturing capacity and headcount.

The total estimated charge for the plan, primarily cash costs for employee severance, is expected to range between $40 and $50. The majority of the charge is expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 with cash payments commencing in 2013.
