Note 4.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company had $51.1 million and $28.5 million of cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which were primarily investments in money market funds. The Company has categorized its cash equivalents as a Level 1 financial asset, measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets of identical assets. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are disclosed in Note 5, "Derivative Financial Instruments," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements below and are based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes as described in Note 13, "Long-Term Debt," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements is approximately $263.3 million based upon Level 2 inputs at June 30, 2014. The fair value of the Company's term loan, also described in Note 13, approximates the carrying value due to the variable market rate used to calculate interest payments. The Company does not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued payroll and related liabilities approximates the fair value of those instruments due to their short-term nature.

Note 9.
Goodwill
In February 2014, the Company announced a realignment of its business which resulted in the elimination of its division structure and the formation of six reportable operating segments effective as of January 1, 2014. This reorganization required the Company to reassign its reported goodwill as of January 1, 2014 to its new reporting units based on the relative fair value of the respective business units at that time. The reassignment was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Subsequent to the reassignment of goodwill, the Company performed an impairment test of each new reporting unit as of January 1, 2014. As a result of this analysis, no impairment was identified. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has determined that there have been no indicators of impairment on its recorded goodwill that would require an updated impairment review.

In August 2011, the Company issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.75 percent senior unsecured notes due September 1, 2016 (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $247.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, which are being amortized over a period of five years. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The proceeds from the Notes are being used for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital and capital expenditure needs, business acquisitions and repurchases of the Company’s common stock.
The Credit Agreement discussed in Note 11, "Credit Agreement," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements above, incorporates a $150 million term loan facility that matures on April 5, 2019. On April 5, 2013 the Company drew down $150 million under the term loan facility. Interest is accrued at the one-month LIBOR rate plus the scheduled spread and paid monthly. Quarterly principal payments of $3.75 million commenced on June 30, 2013 and will continue through December 31, 2018 with the final maturity payment including any accrued interest due on April 5, 2019. See Note 5, "Derivative Financial Instruments - Interest Rate Swap Contracts," for additional information on the effective interest rate on the term loan at June 30, 2014.

Note 15.
Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiary, Indigo Systems Corporation (now known as FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.) (together, the “FLIR Parties”), were named in a lawsuit filed by Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”) on March 2, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Raytheon's complaint, as amended, asserted claims for tortious interference, patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition, breach of contract and fraudulent concealment. The FLIR Parties filed an answer to the complaint on September 2, 2008, in which they denied all material allegations. On August 31, 2009, the court entered an order granting the FLIR Parties' motion for summary judgment on Raytheon's trade secret misappropriation claim based on the FLIR Parties' statute of limitations defense. Raytheon abandoned all of its other claims except its claims relating to four patents (the “Patent Claims”). On October 27, 2010, the FLIR Parties and Raytheon entered into a settlement agreement that resolved the remaining Patent Claims, which resulted in a payment of $3 million by the FLIR Parties to Raytheon and entitles the FLIR Parties to certain license rights in the patents that were the subject of the Patent Claims. The parties appealed certain rulings of the District Court to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which on August 1, 2012 reversed the judgment of the District Court and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with the appellate court's opinion.  The trial has been scheduled for October 27, 2014. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter and is unable to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result if the outcome in this matter is unfavorable.


Note 16.
Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $25.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company anticipates an immaterial portion of its net unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized within 12 months as the result of settlements or effective settlements with various tax authorities, the closure of certain audits and the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations.
The Company classifies interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $2.7 million of net accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”), including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events and the future results of FLIR Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“FLIR” or the “Company”) that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions about the Company’s business. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “sees,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2, and elsewhere in this Report as well as those discussed from time to time in the Company’s other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report, or for changes made to this document by wire services or Internet service providers. If we update or correct one or more forward-looking statements, investors and others should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections with respect to other forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations
The following discussion of operating results provides an overview of our operations by addressing key elements in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The “Segment Operating Results” section that follows describes the contributions of each of our business segments to our consolidated revenue and earnings from operations. Given the nature of our business, we believe revenue and earnings from operations (including operating margin percentage) are most relevant to an understanding of our performance at a segment level as revenue levels are the most significant indicators of business conditions for each of the respective segments and earnings from operations reflect our ability to manage each of our segments as revenue levels change. Additionally, at the segment level we disclose backlog, which represents orders received for products or services for which a sales agreement is in place and delivery is expected within twelve months.
In February 2014, we announced a realignment of our business which resulted in the elimination of our division structure and the formation of six reportable operating segments effective as of January 1, 2014. The six operating segments are: Surveillance, Instruments, OEM and Emerging Markets, Maritime, Security and Detection. See Note 17, "Operating Segments and Related Information" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the six operating segments. The segment operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 below have been adjusted to conform to the new operating segment structure.
Revenue. Consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by 5.1 percent year over year, from $389.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 to $369.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. Consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by 2.3 percent year over year, from $737.9 million in the first six months of 2013 to $720.9 million in the first six months of 2014. Declines in year over year revenues, for both the three and six month periods, in our Surveillance and Detection segments were partially offset by increases in revenues in our Instruments, OEM and Emerging Markets, and Security segments.
The timing of orders, scheduling of backlog and fluctuations in demand in various regions of the world can give rise to quarter to quarter and year over year fluctuations in the mix of revenue. Consequently, year over year comparisons for any given quarter may not be indicative of comparisons using longer time periods. While we currently expect total annual revenue for 2014 to be up to four percent higher than 2013 revenue, unexpected changes in economic conditions from key customer markets or other major unanticipated events may cause total revenue, and the mix of revenue between our segments, to vary from quarter to quarter during the year.
International sales accounted for 48.3 percent and 45.0 percent of total revenue for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 51.1 percent and 47.8 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the percentage of international revenue is primarily due to higher deliveries to our customers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") region, partially attributable to the improving economic conditions in that region. The proportion of our international revenue compared to total revenue will fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to normal variation in order activity

17



across various regions as well as specific factors that may affect one region and not another. Overall we anticipate that revenue from international sales will continue to comprise a significant percentage of total revenue.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $186.7 million and $369.7 million, respectively, compared to cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 of $199.3 million and 363.9 million, respectively. For the three month period, the year over year decrease in cost of sales primarily relates to the decrease in year over year revenues; for the six month period, the year over year increase in cost of goods sold primarily relates to changes in product mix.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $182.7 million compared to $190.0 million for the same quarter last year. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $351.3 million compared to $374.0 million for the same period last year. Gross margin, defined as gross profit divided by revenue, increased from 48.8 percent in the second quarter of 2013 to 49.5 percent in the second quarter of 2014, and decreased from 50.7 percent in the first six months of 2013 to 48.7 percent in the first six months of 2014. The increase in gross margin for the three month period was primarily due to product mix and production efficiencies. For the six month period, the decrease in gross margin was primarily due to sales in certain lower margin product lines, particularly in our OEM and Emerging Markets segment and our Security segment, and deliveries in the first quarter of 2014 on two large lower margin programs in our Surveillance segment.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $36.3 million, compared to $39.6 million in the second quarter of 2013. Research and development expenses for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 were $72.6 million and $76.3 million, respectively. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue was 9.8 percent and 10.2 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue was 10.1 percent and 10.3 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Over the five annual periods through December 31, 2013, our annual research and development expenses have varied between 8.0 percent and 9.9 percent of revenue, and we currently expect these expenses to remain within that range, on an annual basis, in the near future.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $83.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $80.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 were $165.4 million and $158.3 million, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses year over year for the three month period was primarily related to increases in both marketing and corporate administrative expenses. For the six month period, the year over year increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to increases in marketing spending and a $5.9 million increase in corporate expenses largely related to higher legal expenses incurred for litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 22.6 percent and 20.6 percent for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 22.9 percent and 21.5 percent for the first six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Over the five annual periods through December 31, 2013, our annual selling, general and administrative expenses have varied between 19.2 percent and 23.9 percent of revenue.
Restructuring expenses. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we incurred $3.5 million in pre-tax restructuring expenses, all of which is recorded in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the first six months of 2014, we incurred $12.0 million in pre-tax restructuring expenses, of which $11.4 million is recorded in operating expenses and $0.6 million is included in costs of goods sold. For the quarter and the six month periods ended June 30, 2014, $3.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, relate to operational realignment initiatives announced in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the six month period, $3.6 million relates to employee termination costs incurred as a result of our decision to eliminate our division structure and realign into six new reportable operating segments as of January 1, 2014.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2014 was $3.6 million compared to $3.8 million for the same period of 2013. Interest expense for the first six months of 2014 was $7.3 million compared to $6.7 million for the same period of 2013. Interest expense is primarily associated with the $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75 percent senior unsecured notes due September 1, 2016 issued in August 2011, and the $150 million term loan that was drawn on April 5, 2013.
Income taxes. The income tax provision of $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 represents a quarterly effective tax rate of 21.6 percent. We expect the annual effective tax rate for the full year of 2014 to be approximately 23.8 percent, excluding discrete items. The effective tax rate is lower than the US Federal tax rate of 35 percent because of the mix of lower foreign jurisdiction tax rates, the effect of federal, foreign and state tax credits and discrete adjustments.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by 28.5 percent and 16.1 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2013. The decreases in revenue were primarily due to deliveries on two large programs that took place during the second quarter of 2013 and the inability to make late second quarter 2014 deliveries on several orders. The decreases in earnings from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods of 2013, were primarily due to lower year over year revenue, changes in product mix, and $4.1 million and $0.6 million of restructuring expenses recorded in the first quarter and second quarter of 2014, respectively, partially offset by lower operating expenses. The decrease in backlog at June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013 was a result of reduced United States government procurement activity during the past twelve months.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 4.6 percent and 5.8 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2013. The year over year increases in revenue were related to increased deliveries in most geographic regions and across most product lines, particularly for products introduced within the last year. The slight decreases in earnings from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods of 2013, were primarily due to restructuring expenses of $2.7 million and $6.2 million, respectively, offsetting increases in revenues and gross profits.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 21.3 percent and 14.0 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily due to the revenues in our optical components group, which is a business that was acquired in August of 2013, and increased deliveries of uncooled cores and personal vision systems products in the second quarter of 2014. The increases in earnings from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in the prior year, were due to the increase in revenue year over year partially offset by an unfavorable mix of products sold, particularly the relatively low margin products out of the optical components group, and increases in operating expenses related to the development of our new Lepton camera core and related products.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 1.0 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2013 due to higher deliveries in the EMEA region, the effects of new or enhanced products introduced in 2013, and year over year unit volume increases across certain product lines. The increases in earnings from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods of the prior year, were primarily due to the increase in revenues.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 29.9 percent and 15.8 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases in revenue for the three and six month periods were due to increased deliveries in all product families and expanded distribution. The increase in earnings from operations year over year for the three month period is primarily due to the increase in revenues, partially offset by increases in marketing expenses. For the six month period, changes in product mix, including lower deliveries of our relatively higher margin, high-end thermal security cameras and increased research and development and marketing expenses related to new products effectively offset the increase in year over year revenue. The increase in backlog at June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013 was primarily due to an approximately $10 million order from a Middle East customer that was received in the first quarter of 2014.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by 11.8 percent and 22.1 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2013, which was primarily due to $5.5 million of deliveries on a major program in the first quarter of 2013 and lower contract research and development revenues in the first six months of 2014. The declines in earnings from operations were primarily due to the decrease in year over year revenues and $0.8 million of restructuring expenses recorded for the first six months of 2014.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2014, we had a total of $602.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $239.8 million was in the United States and $362.3 million was at our foreign subsidiaries, compared to cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 of $542.5 million, of which $221.0 million was in the United States and $321.5 million was at our foreign subsidiaries. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to cash from operations, partially offset by $43.0 million spent for the repurchase of shares of our common stock, capital expenditures of $25.8 million, and dividend payments of $28.2 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2014.
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $130.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which primarily consisted of net earnings, adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, and net collections of our accounts receivable, partially offset by net decreases in other working capital components.
Cash used by investing activities totaled $25.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, consisting of capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business.
Cash used by financing activities totaled $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which primarily consisted of the repurchase of shares of our common stock, payment of dividends and the quarterly term loan principal payment, partially offset by amounts provided by our stock compensation plans.
On February 8, 2011, we signed a Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., U.S. Bank National Association, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. and other lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $200 million, five-year revolving line of credit. On April 5, 2013, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the maturity of the revolving credit facility from February 8, 2016 to April 5, 2018 in addition to incorporating a $150 million term loan facility maturing April 5, 2019. We have the right, subject to certain conditions including approval of additional commitments by qualified lenders, to increase the line of credit by an additional $150 million until April 5, 2018. The Credit Agreement allows us and certain designated subsidiaries to borrow in US dollars, euros, Swedish Kronor, pound sterling and other agreed upon currencies. The Credit Agreement requires us to pay a commitment fee on the amount of unused credit at a rate, based on the Company’s leverage ratio, which ranges from 0.25 percent to 0.40 percent. The Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants that require the maintenance of certain leverage ratios with which we were in compliance at June 30, 2014. The five-year revolving line of credit available under the Credit Agreement and the term loan facility are not secured by any of our assets.
As noted above, the Credit Agreement amendment of April 5, 2013 incorporates a $150 million term loan facility that matures on April 5, 2019. On April 5, 2013 we drew down $150 million under the term loan facility. Interest is accrued at the one-month LIBOR rate plus the scheduled spread and paid monthly. By entering into interest rate swap agreements, we have effectively fixed the basis for calculating the interest rate on the term loan. The effective interest rate paid is equal to the fixed rate in the swap agreements plus the credit spread then in effect. At June 30, 2014, the effective interest rate on the term loan was 2.49 percent. Principal payments of $3.75 million are made in quarterly installments which commenced on June 30, 2013 and will continue through December 31, 2018 with the final maturity payment including any accrued interest due on April 5, 2019.

21



At June 30, 2014, we had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the commitment fee on the amount of unused credit was 0.3 percent. We had $39.2 million of letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2014, which reduced the total available credit under the Credit Agreement.
On August 19, 2011, we issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75 percent senior unsecured notes due September 1, 2016 (the "Notes"). The interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The proceeds from the Notes are being used for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital and capital expenditure needs, business acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock.
On February 6, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 25.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock. As of June 30, 2014, there were approximately 17.7 million shares still remaining for repurchase under this authorization, which expires on February 6, 2015.
United States income taxes have not been provided for on accumulated earnings of certain subsidiaries outside of the United States as we currently intend to reinvest the earnings in operations outside the United States indefinitely. Should we subsequently elect to repatriate such foreign earnings, we would need to accrue and pay United States income taxes, thereby reducing the amount of our cash.
We believe that our existing cash combined with the cash we expect to generate from operating activities and our available credit facilities and financing available from other sources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. We do not have any significant capital commitments for the current year nor are we aware of any significant events or conditions that are likely to have a material impact on our liquidity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity" ("ASU 2013-05") which addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Accordingly, the Company currently intends to adopt ASU 2013-05 on January 1, 2015, and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09") which establishes new guidance under which companies will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also provides for additional disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the annual period, and interim periods within the annual period, beginning after December 15, 2016. Accordingly, the Company currently intends to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2017, and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period" ("ASU 2014-12") which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual and interim periods within the annual period beginning after December 15, 2015. Accordingly, the Company currently intends to adopt ASU 2014-12 on January 1, 2016, and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
