NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Tabular data dollars in millions, except per share amounts

 

1.              Segment Information

 

The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations:  Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific.  These four segments are aligned with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass operations.  Certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing are reported with Retained corporate costs and other.  These include licensing, equipment sales, global engineering, and certain equity investments.  Retained corporate costs and other also includes certain headquarters administrative and facilities costs and certain incentive compensation and other benefit plan costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reportable segments.

 

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs.  The Company’s management uses segment operating profit, in combination with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.  Segment operating profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.

 

Financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

4. Derivative Instruments

 

The Company has certain derivative assets and liabilities which consist of natural gas forwards and foreign exchange option and forward contracts.  The Company uses an income approach to valuing these contracts.  Natural gas forward rates and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models.  These inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.  The Company also evaluates counterparty risk in determining fair values.

 

Commodity Futures Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

 

The significant majority of the Company’s sales volume in North America is tied to customer contracts that contain provisions that pass the price of natural gas to the customer.  In certain of these contracts, the customer has the option of fixing the natural gas price component for a specified period of time.  When the customer exercises that option the Company enters into commodity futures contracts for the related natural gas requirements, in order to limit the effects of fluctuation in the future market price paid for natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows.  At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts covering approximately 1,800,000 MM BTUs and 6,600,000 MM BTUs, respectively, primarily related to customer requests to lock the price of natural gas.

 

The Company accounts for these futures contracts as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2014 and recognizes them on the balance sheet at fair value.  The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings.  An immaterial unrecognized loss and an unrecognized loss of $1 million at September 30, 2014 and 2013 related to the commodity futures contracts was included in Accumulated OCI.  The immaterial unrecognized loss at September 30, 2014 will be reclassified into earnings over the next fifteen months.  Any material portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current earnings.  The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was not material.

Forward Exchange Contracts not Designated as Hedging Instruments

 

The Company’s subsidiaries may enter into short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign currencies at set rates in the future.  These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.  Subsidiaries may also use forward exchange agreements to offset the foreign currency risk for receivables and payables, including intercompany receivables and payables, not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies.  The Company records these short-term forward exchange agreements on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value are recognized in current earnings.

 

At September 30, 2014 and 2013, various subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding forward exchange and option agreements denominated in various currencies covering the equivalent of approximately $520 million and $740 million, respectively, related primarily to intercompany transactions and loans.

The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write downs of certain long-lived assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value or fair value less cost to sell.  The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

 

European Asset Optimization

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded charges of $1 million of employee costs related to the European Asset Optimization program.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded charges of $7 million related to the European Asset Optimization program.  These charges represented additional employee costs that the Company was required to record for the furnace closures announced during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Asia Pacific Restructuring

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded charges of $73 million.  These charges primarily represented employee costs, write-down of assets, and pension charges that the Company was required to record for the furnace closure announced during the third quarter of 2014.

The U.S. pension expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 excludes $8 million of special termination benefits that were recorded in discontinued operations.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a curtailment gain of $5 million related to modifications made to one of its U.S. postretirement benefit plans that reduced or eliminated certain health care and life insurance benefits.  These modifications also resulted in a $55 million reduction in the postretirement benefit obligation that was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

On October 1, 2014, the Company settled the liability associated with its pension plan in the Netherlands. The settlement is expected to result in a non-cash charge of approximately $35 million ($25 million after tax) in the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

7.  Income Taxes

 

The Company performs a quarterly review of the annual effective tax rate and makes changes if necessary based on new information or events.  The estimated annual effective tax rate is forecasted quarterly using actual historical information and forward-looking estimates.  The estimated annual effective tax rate may fluctuate due to changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes in the forecasted mix of earnings by country; changes to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (such changes would be recorded discretely in the quarter in which they occur); changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences (non-deductible expenses); impacts from future tax settlements with state, federal or foreign tax authorities (such changes would be recorded discretely in the quarter in which they occur); or impacts from tax law changes.  To the extent such changes impact deferred tax assets/liabilities, these changes would generally be recorded discretely in the quarter in which they occur.  Additionally, the annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% primarily because of valuation allowances in some jurisdictions and varying non-U.S. tax rates.

 

In the U.S., the Company has experienced cumulative losses in previous years and has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.  The Company’s U.S. operations are in a three-year cumulative income position, but this is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance.  The Company considered this factor and all other available positive and negative evidence and concluded that it is still more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. will not be realized, and accordingly continued to record a valuation allowance.  The evidence considered included the magnitude of the current three-year cumulative income compared to historical losses, expected impact of tax planning strategies, interest rates, and the overall business environment.  The Company continues to evaluate its cumulative income position and income trend as well as its future projections of sustained

 

13



 

profitability and whether this profitability trend constitutes sufficient positive evidence to support a reversal of the valuation allowance (in full or in part).  The amount of the valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. as of December 31, 2013 was $837 million.

On May 19, 2011, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”).  At September 30, 2014, the Agreement included a $900 million revolving credit facility, a $405 million term loan, a 81 million Canadian dollar term loan, and a €85 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of May 19, 2016.  At September 30, 2014, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $736 million available under the Agreement.

 

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at September 30, 2014 was 2.02%.

 

The Company repurchased $15 million and $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The amount by which the cash paid exceeded the fair value of the notes repurchased was recorded as a reduction to share owners’ equity.  The Company recorded $3 million of additional interest charges for the loss on debt extinguishment and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  As of September 30, 2014 the remaining $616 million balance of the Exchangeable Notes are classified as current liabilities on the balance sheet since they mature on June 1, 2015.  The Company intends to refinance these notes prior to their due date.

During March 2013, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €330 million due March 31, 2021.  The notes bear interest at 4.875% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.  The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $418 million.

 

During March 2013, the Company discharged, in accordance with the indenture, all €300 million of the 6.875% senior notes due 2017. The Company recorded $11 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

 

The Company has a €215 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends through September 2016, subject to periodic renewal of backup credit lines.

9.  Contingencies

 

Asbestos

 

The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging bodily injury and death as a result of exposure to asbestos dust.  From 1948 to 1958, one of the Company’s former business units commercially produced and sold approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material containing asbestos.  The Company exited the pipe and block insulation business in April 1958.  The typical asbestos personal injury lawsuit

 

15



 

alleges various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seeks compensatory and in some cases, punitive damages in various amounts (herein referred to as “asbestos claims”).

 

As of September 30, 2014, the Company has determined that it is a named defendant in asbestos lawsuits and claims involving approximately 2,500 plaintiffs and claimants.  Based on an analysis of the lawsuits pending as of December 31, 2013, approximately 80% of plaintiffs either do not specify the monetary damages sought, or in the case of court filings, claim an amount sufficient to invoke the jurisdictional minimum of the trial court.  Approximately 16% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages above the jurisdictional minimum up to, and including, $15 million or less, and 3% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages greater than $15 million but less than $100 million.  Fewer than 1% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages equal to or greater than $100 million.

 

As indicated by the foregoing summary, current pleading practice permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages.  The Company’s experience resolving hundreds of thousands of asbestos claims and lawsuits over an extended period demonstrates that the monetary relief that may be alleged in a complaint bears little relevance to a claim’s merits or disposition value.  Rather, the amount potentially recoverable is determined by such factors as the severity of the plaintiff’s asbestos disease, the product identification evidence against the Company and other defendants, the defenses available to the Company and other defendants, the specific jurisdiction in which the claim is made, and the plaintiff’s medical history and exposure to other disease-causing agents.

 

In addition to the pending claims set forth above, the Company has claims-handling agreements in place with many plaintiffs’ counsel throughout the country.  These agreements require evaluation and negotiation regarding whether particular claimants qualify under the criteria established by such agreements.  The criteria for such claims include verification of a compensable illness and a reasonable probability of exposure to a product manufactured by the Company’s former business unit during its manufacturing period ending in 1958.

 

The Company has also been a defendant in other asbestos-related lawsuits or claims involving maritime workers, medical monitoring claimants, co-defendants and property damage claimants.  Based upon its past experience, the Company believes that these categories of lawsuits and claims will not involve any material liability and they are not included in the above description of pending matters or in the following description of disposed matters.

 

Since receiving its first asbestos claim, the Company as of September 30, 2014, has disposed of the asbestos claims of approximately 394,000 plaintiffs and claimants at an average indemnity payment per claim of approximately $8,800.  Certain of these dispositions have included deferred amounts payable over a number of years.  Deferred amounts payable totaled approximately $19 million at September 30, 2014 ($12 million at December 31, 2013) and are included in the foregoing average indemnity payment per claim.  The Company’s asbestos indemnity payments have varied on a per claim basis, and are expected to continue to vary considerably over time.  As discussed above, a part of the Company’s objective is to achieve, where possible, resolution of asbestos claims pursuant to claims-handling agreements.  Failure of claimants to meet certain medical and product exposure criteria in the Company’s administrative claims handling agreements has generally reduced the number of marginal or suspect claims that would otherwise have been received.  In addition, certain courts and legislatures have reduced or eliminated the number of marginal or suspect claims that the Company otherwise would have received.  These developments generally have had the effect

 

16



 

of increasing the Company’s per-claim average indemnity payment over time.

 

The Company believes that its ultimate asbestos-related liability (i.e., its indemnity payments or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees) cannot reasonably be estimated.  Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, the Company has accrued a total of approximately $4.3 billion through 2013, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability.  The Company’s ability to reasonably estimate its liability has been significantly affected by, among other factors, the volatility of asbestos-related litigation in the United States, the significant number of co-defendants that have filed for bankruptcy, the magnitude and timing of co-defendant bankruptcy trust payments, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns against the Company, and the success of efforts by co-defendants to restrict or eliminate their liability in the litigation.

 

The Company has continued to monitor trends that may affect its ultimate liability and has continued to analyze the developments and variables affecting or likely to affect the resolution of pending and future asbestos claims against the Company.  The material components of the Company’s accrued liability are based on amounts determined by the Company in connection with its annual comprehensive review and consist of the following estimates, to the extent it is probable that such liabilities have been incurred and can be reasonably estimated: (i) the liability for asbestos claims already asserted against the Company; (ii) the liability for asbestos claims not yet asserted against the Company, but which the Company believes will be asserted in the next several years; and (iii) the legal defense costs likely to be incurred in connection with the foregoing types of claims.

 

The significant assumptions underlying the material components of the Company’s accrual are:

 

a)

the extent to which settlements are limited to claimants who were exposed to the Company’s asbestos-containing insulation prior to its exit from that business in 1958;

 

 

b)

the extent to which claims are resolved under the Company’s administrative claims agreements or on terms comparable to those set forth in those agreements;

 

 

c)

the extent of decrease or increase in the incidence of serious disease cases and claiming patterns for such cases;

 

 

d)

the extent to which the Company is able to defend itself successfully at trial or on appeal;

 

 

e)

the number and timing of additional co-defendant bankruptcies; and

 

 

f)

the extent to which co-defendants with substantial resources and assets continue to participate significantly in the resolution of future asbestos lawsuits and claims.

 

As noted above, the Company conducts a comprehensive review of its asbestos-related liabilities and costs annually in connection with finalizing and reporting its annual results of operations, unless significant changes in trends or new developments warrant an earlier review.  If the results of an annual comprehensive review indicate that the existing amount of the accrued liability is insufficient to cover its estimated future asbestos-related costs, then the Company will record an appropriate charge to increase the accrued liability.  The Company believes that a reasonable estimation of the probable amount of the liability for claims not yet asserted against the Company is not possible beyond a period of several years.  Therefore, while the results of future annual comprehensive reviews cannot be determined, the Company expects the addition of one year to the estimation period will result in an annual charge.

 

17



 

The Company’s reported results of operations for 2013 were materially affected by the $145 million fourth quarter charge for asbestos-related costs and asbestos-related payments continue to be substantial.  Any future additional charge would likewise materially affect the Company’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded.  Also, the continued use of significant amounts of cash for asbestos-related costs has affected and may continue to affect the Company’s cost of borrowing and its ability to pursue global or domestic acquisitions.  However, the Company believes that its operating cash flows and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to pay its obligations for asbestos-related costs and to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements on a short-term and long-term basis.

 

Other Matters

 

The Company conducted an internal investigation into conduct in certain of its overseas operations that may have violated the anti-bribery provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), the FCPA’s books and records and internal controls provisions, the Company’s own internal policies, and various local laws.  In October 2012, the Company voluntarily disclosed these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

On July 18, 2013, the Company received a letter from the DOJ indicating that it presently did not intend to take any enforcement action and is closing its inquiry into the matter.

 

The Company is presently unable to predict the duration, scope or result of an investigation by the SEC, if any, or whether the SEC will commence any legal action.  The SEC has a broad range of civil sanctions under the FCPA and other laws and regulations including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement, penalties, and modifications to business practices.  The Company could also be subject to investigation and sanctions outside the United States.  While the Company is currently unable to quantify the impact of any potential sanctions or remedial measures, it does not expect such actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The Company received a non-income tax assessment from a foreign tax authority for approximately $90 million (including penalties and interest).  The Company challenged this assessment, but the tax authority’s position was upheld in court.  The Company strongly disagrees with this ruling and believes it to be contradictory to other relevant court rulings, which were ruled in the Company’s favor.  The Company was notified that a higher court will hear this case during the fourth quarter of 2014.  A decision from the higher court is not expected until, at the earliest, the first quarter of 2015.  That decision could be favorable to the Company, unfavorable to the Company, referred to another court or remanded to the previous court.  Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case, it believes that it is probable that the tax authority’s assessment will be overturned by the higher court, and therefore, the Company has not established an accrual.  In order to contest the lower court rulings, legal rules require the Company to deposit the amount of the tax assessment, of which the final monthly installments will be remitted over the next nine months.  A favorable ruling by the higher court will result in a return to the Company of amounts paid. An unfavorable ruling will result in the forfeiture of the deposit, a charge of approximately $70 million and a net refund of approximately $20 million.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company has made installment payments totaling $77 million, which is included in Other assets on the balance sheet.

 

Other litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are non-routine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims

 

18



 

as well as other types of relief.  The Company records a liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.  Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the factors upon which the estimates are based including additional information, negotiations, settlements, and other events.

Options to purchase 660,479 and 1,505,341 weighted average shares of common stock which were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

 

The 2015 Exchangeable Notes have a dilutive effect only in those periods in which the Company’s average stock price exceeds the exchange price of $47.47 per share.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s average stock price did not exceed the exchange price.  Therefore, the potentially issuable shares resulting from the settlement of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

15.  Discontinued Operations

 

The loss from discontinued operations of $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a settlement of a dispute with a purchaser of a previously disposed business, as well as ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.  The loss from discontinued operations of $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included special termination benefits related to a previously disposed business, as well as ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.

 

16.  New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, issued a new standards update “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted.  The Company is evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

 

17.  Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-Guarantors

 

The following presents condensed consolidating financial information for the Company, segregating:  (1) Owens-Illinois, Inc., the issuer of senior debentures (the “Parent”); (2) the two subsidiaries which have guaranteed the senior debentures on a subordinated basis (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”); and (3) all other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).  The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and their guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several.  They have no operations and function only as intermediate holding companies.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform all of the financial information to the financial presentation on a consolidated basis.  The principal eliminations relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

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

 

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs.  The segment data presented below is prepared in accordance with general accounting principles for segment reporting.  The line titled “reportable segment totals”, however, is a non-GAAP measure when presented outside of the financial statement footnotes.  Management has included reportable segment totals below to facilitate the discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.  The Company’s management uses segment operating profit, in combination with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.

 

Financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows (dollars in millions):

Executive Overview — Quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Third Quarter 2014 Highlights

 

·                  Net sales were lower due to a 3% decrease in glass container shipments and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by higher pricing.

·                  Segment operating profit was lower due to lower sales volumes and higher operating costs, partially offset by higher selling prices.

·                  The Company agreed to enter into a joint venture with Constellation Brands, Inc. to operate a glass container plant in Nava, Mexico.

 

Net sales were $39 million lower than the prior year due to a 3% decline in glass container shipments, driven by lower sales volumes in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.  Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates also impacted net sales in the quarter.  Higher pricing, primarily in the North and South American regions, benefited net sales in the quarter.

 

Segment operating profit for reportable segments was $11 million lower than the prior year, primarily due to higher operating costs.  Lower production volumes in North America and Asia Pacific and cost inflation in most of the regions increased operating costs in the quarter.  In addition, lower sales volumes in most of the regions also resulted in lower segment profit contribution.  These higher costs were partially offset by improved selling prices.

 

35



 

Earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company in the third quarter of 2014 were $61 million, or $0.37 per share (diluted), compared with $132 million, or $0.79 per share (diluted), for the third quarter of 2013.  Earnings in the third quarter of 2014 included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations.  These items were primarily for restructuring, asset impairment, and related charges and decreased net earnings attributable to the Company in the third quarter of 2014 by $63 million, or $0.38 per share.  There were no items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations in the third quarter of 2013.

 

Results of Operations — Third Quarter of 2014 compared with Third Quarter of 2013

 

Net Sales

 

The Company’s net sales in the third quarter of 2014 were $1,745 million compared with $1,784 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $39 million, or 2%.  The decrease in net sales was partly due to a 3% decline in glass container shipments in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013.  Lower sales volumes in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific were partially offset by higher sales volumes in South America.  The unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes also contributed to the decrease in net sales, primarily due to a weaker Euro and Brazilian real.  Higher selling prices, primarily in the North and South American regions, benefited net sales in the quarter.

 

The change in net sales of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Net sales - 2014

 

 

 

$

1,736

 

 

Europe:  Net sales in Europe in the third quarter of 2014 were $709 million compared with $733 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $24 million, or 3%.  Glass container shipments in the third quarter of 2014 decreased 1% compared to the third quarter of 2013 and lowered net sales by $5 million.  The unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales by $8 million in the current quarter as the Euro weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar.  Lower selling prices impacted net sales by $11 million during the quarter.

 

North America:  Net sales in North America in the third quarter of 2014 were $517 million compared with $529 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $12 million, or 2%.  Lower glass container shipments in the third quarter of 2014, which were down by 3% compared to the third quarter of 2013, decreased net sales by $20 million.  The lower sales volume in the quarter was primarily due to decreases in megabeer bottle sales within the beer category.  Higher selling prices increased net sales by $11 million in the third quarter of 2014 due, in part, to the Company’s contractual pass through provisions, as well as from passing through freight costs for a large customer.  Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates decreased net sales by $3 million, as the Canadian dollar weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar.

 

36



 

South America:  Net sales in South America in the third quarter of 2014 were $313 million compared with $282 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $31 million, or 11%.  Higher glass container shipments in the third quarter of 2014, which were up 15% compared to the third quarter of 2013, increased net sales by $31 million.  The higher sales volume was primarily due to increased beer demand across the region particularly in the Andean countries, partially due to the non-recurrence of general strikes in Colombia that impacted shipments in the third quarter of 2013.  Improved pricing in the current quarter benefited net sales by $9 million.  The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $9 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to 2013, principally due to a decline in the Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar.

 

Asia Pacific:  Net sales in Asia Pacific in the third quarter of 2014 were $197 million compared with $236 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $39 million, or 17%.  The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower shipments, which resulted in $45 million of lower sales in the third quarter of 2014.  Glass container shipments were down 24% compared to the prior year primarily due to planned plant closures in China.  Sales volumes were also unfavorably impacted by lower shipments in Australia due to weaker demand trends in domestic beer and export wine markets.  To balance supply with demand, the Company permanently closed a furnace in Australia in the third quarter of 2014.  Selling prices were $5 million higher and benefited net sales in the current quarter.  The effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes during the third quarter of 2014 increased net sales in the region by $1 million.

 

Segment Operating Profit

 

Operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.  Unallocated corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are included in Retained corporate costs and other.  For further information, see Segment Information included in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Segment operating profit of reportable segments in the third quarter of 2014 was $248 million compared to $259 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $11 million, or 4%.  The decrease in segment operating profit was mainly due to higher operating costs, partially offset by higher selling prices.  Operating costs were higher in the current quarter due to cost inflation, as well as due to the impact of lower production volumes in North America and Asia Pacific.  In addition, segment profit was impacted by lower sales volumes as described above.  The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes during the third quarter of 2014 slightly decreased segment operating profit.

Europe:  Segment operating profit in Europe in the third quarter of 2014 was $104 million compared with $97 million in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $7 million, or 7%.  Lower operating expenses, driven by cost deflation and benefits from the region’s asset optimization program, had a $20 million positive impact on segment operating profit in the third quarter of 2014.  This was partially offset by $11 million in lower selling prices in the current year due, in part, to competitive pressures in the region.  The decrease in sales volume discussed above decreased segment operating profit by $1 million.  The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates decreased segment operating profit by $1 million.

 

North America:  Segment operating profit in North America in the third quarter of 2014 was $66 million compared with $87 million in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $21 million, or 24%.  The decrease in segment operating profit was primarily due to $26 million of higher operating costs in the current quarter, which was driven by lower productivity levels and cost inflation.  The decline in sales volumes discussed above decreased segment operating profit by $6 million.  Higher selling prices of $11 million partially offset these declines.

 

South America:  Segment operating profit in South America in the third quarter of 2014 was $61 million compared with $42 million in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $19 million, or 45%.  The higher sales volume discussed above increased segment operating profit by $11 million.  Higher selling prices contributed $9 million to segment operating profit in the third quarter of 2014.  Operating costs increased by $1 million in the third quarter of 2014.

 

Asia Pacific:  Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in the third quarter of 2014 was $17 million compared with $33 million in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $16 million, or 48%.  The decrease in segment operating profit was primarily due to a $14 million increase in operating costs due to lower production volumes and cost inflation.  The decline in sales volume discussed above decreased segment operating profit by $7 million in the quarter.  This was partially offset by a $5 million increase in selling prices.

 

Interest Expense, net

 

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $53 million compared with $54 million for the third quarter of 2013, reflecting lower debt levels.

 

Earnings from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

 

For the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $61 million, or $0.37 per share (diluted), compared to $132 million, or $0.79 per share (diluted), in the third quarter of 2013.  Earnings in the third quarter of 2014 included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations.  These items were primarily for restructuring, asset impairment, and related charges and these items decreased net earnings attributable to the Company in the third quarter of 2014 by $63 million, or $0.38 per share.  There were no items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations in the third quarter of 2013.

Executive Overview — Nine Months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

2014 Highlights

 

·                  Net sales decreased due to a decline in glass container shipments and unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by higher selling prices.

·                  Segment operating profit decreased due to higher operating costs, partially offset by higher selling prices.

·                  The Company agreed to enter into a joint venture with Constellation Brands, Inc. to operate a glass container plant in Nava, Mexico.

 

Net sales decreased by $25 million compared to the prior year due to a 1% decline in glass container shipments and due to the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  Higher selling prices had a positive impact on net sales.

 

Segment operating profit for reportable segments decreased by $24 million compared to the prior year.  The decrease was mainly attributable to higher operating costs, driven by cost inflation in most of the regions, higher supply chain and production costs in North America and lower production volumes in Asia Pacific.  Higher selling prices partially offset these costs.

 

Net interest expense for the first nine months of 2014 decreased $17 million compared to the first nine months of 2013.  The decrease was due to $14 million of note repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to debt that was repaid during 2013 prior to its maturity that did not reoccur in the first nine months of 2014.

 

Earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company for the first nine months of 2014 were $297 million, or $1.79 per share (diluted), compared with $346 million, or $2.08 per share (diluted), for the first nine months of 2013.  Earnings in both periods included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations.  These items were primarily for restructuring, asset impairment, and related charges and these items decreased earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company by $63 million, or $0.38 per share, in 2014 and $20 million, or $0.12 per share, in 2013.

 

Results of Operations — First nine months of 2014 compared with first nine months of 2013

 

Net Sales

 

The Company’s net sales in the first nine months of 2014 were $5,181 million compared with $5,206 million for the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $25 million.  Glass container shipments, in tonnes, were down 1% in 2014 compared to 2013, driven by lower sales in Asia Pacific.  Net sales were also lower due to the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, primarily due to a weaker Brazilian real and Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by a stronger Euro.  Net sales in 2014 benefited from higher selling prices.

Europe:  Net sales in Europe in the first nine months of 2014 were $2,205 million compared with $2,129 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $76 million, or 4%.  Glass container shipments in 2014 increased 2% compared to the prior year, particularly in the beer and wine categories.  The higher sales volume, which increased net sales by $47 million, was mainly due to unseasonably warm weather conditions in the first quarter and the carryover benefits of the Company’s wine share recovery efforts from the prior year.  Net sales in Europe also increased by $57 million due to the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, as the Euro strengthened in relation to the U.S. dollar.  Partially offsetting these increases in net sales was a $28 million impact from lower selling prices.

 

North America:  Net sales in North America in the first nine months of 2014 were $1,543 million compared with $1,525 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $18 million, or 1%.  Glass container shipments were slightly lower in the current year compared to the prior year, but a more unfavorable sales mix resulted in a $10 million decrease to sales.  This unfavorable sales mix was primarily due to lower shipments in the wine and spirits categories.  Higher selling prices of $38 million also increased net sales in the first nine months of 2014 due, in part, to the Company’s contractual pass through provisions, as well as from passing through the freight costs for a large customer.  Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates decreased net sales by $10 million, as the Canadian dollar weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar.

 

South America:  Net sales in South America in the first nine months of 2014 were $826 million compared with $820 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $6 million, or 1%.  Glass container shipments increased nearly 8% for the first nine months of 2014 and resulted in a $31 million increase in sales.  Volume growth was particularly strong in Brazil in the first nine months of 2014.  The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $61 million in 2014 compared to 2013, principally due to a decline in the Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar.  Improved pricing in the current year benefited net sales by $36 million.

 

Asia Pacific:  Net sales in Asia Pacific in the first nine months of 2014 were $584 million compared with $714 million for the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $130 million, or 18%.  The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales volume, which resulted in $112 million of lower sales in the first nine months of 2014.  Glass container shipments were down 20% compared to the prior year, largely due to the planned plant closures in China, as well as lower shipments in Australia due to weaker demand trends in the domestic beer and export wine markets.  To balance supply with demand, the Company permanently closed a furnace in Australia in the third quarter of 2014.  The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $25 million in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to the weakening of the Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar.  Higher prices increased net sales by $7 million in the current year.

Segment Operating Profit

 

Operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.  Unallocated corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are included in Retained corporate costs and other.  For further information, see Segment Information included in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Segment operating profit of reportable segments in the first nine months of 2014 was $728 million compared to $752 million for the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $24 million, or 3%.  The decline in segment operating profit was primarily due to higher operating costs, partially offset by higher sales volume and selling prices.  Operating costs increased in the current year due to cost inflation, higher supply chain and production costs in North America and lower production volumes in Asia Pacific.

Europe:  Segment operating profit in Europe in the first nine months of 2014 was $300 million compared with $267 million in the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $33 million, or 12%.  Lower operating expenses, driven by cost deflation and benefits from the region’s asset optimization program, had a $42 million positive impact on segment operating profit in the first nine months of 2014.  The increase in sales volume discussed above increased segment operating profit by $13 million.  The favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates increased segment operating profit by $6 million.  Partially offsetting these benefits were lower selling prices, which were down $28 million in the current year due, in part, to competitive pressures in the region.

 

North America:  Segment operating profit in North America in the first nine months of 2014 was $214 million compared with $254 million in the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $40 million, or 16%. The decrease in segment operating profit was primarily due to higher operating costs of $74 million in the current year, which were driven by higher energy and supply chain costs, as well as lower production levels.  Higher selling prices partially offset these higher costs and increased segment operating profit by $38 million in the current year.  The decrease in sales volume and change in the mix of sales volume mentioned above reduced segment profit by $3 million.  The unfavorable effects of foreign exchange rates decreased segment profit by $1 million.

 

South America:  Segment operating profit in South America in the first nine months of 2014 was $155 million compared with $132 million in the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $23 million, or 17%.  Higher selling prices increased segment operating profit in the first nine months of 2014 by $36 million.  The increase in sales volume discussed above increased segment

operating profit by $15 million.  Several non-strategic asset sales also benefited segment operating profit by $6 million in the current year.  Partially offsetting these benefits was $32 million in higher operating costs, primarily driven by cost inflation.  The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased segment operating profit by $2 million in the current year.

 

Asia Pacific:  Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in the first nine months of 2014 was $59 million compared with $99 million in the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $40 million, or 40%.  Operating costs increased by $29 million in the current year and were driven by lower production volumes and cost inflation.  The decline in sales volume discussed above decreased segment operating profit by $17 million.  The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates decreased segment profit by $1 million.  Higher selling prices increased segment profit by $7 million in the current year.

 

Interest Expense, net

 

Net interest expense for the first nine months of 2014 was $161 million compared with $178 million for the first nine months of 2013.  Interest expense for 2013 included $11 million for note repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to the discharge of the €300 million senior notes due 2017 and $3 million for loss on debt extinguishment and the write-off of finance fees related to the repurchase of a portion of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes.  Exclusive of these items, interest expense decreased $3 million in the current year, primarily due to lower debt levels.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 22.0% compared with 23.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2014 was lower than the first nine months of 2013 due to a benefit of $21 million recorded in 2014 related to reductions to several of the Company’s uncertain tax positions due to the outcome of tax examinations and the expiration of certain statute of limitations.

 

The Company expects that the full year effective tax rate for 2014 will be slightly higher than the 21.9% rate recorded in 2013 (excluding the tax on items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations).

 

Earnings from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

 

For the first nine months of 2014, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $297 million, or $1.79 per share (diluted), compared to $346 million, or $2.08 per share (diluted), in the first nine months of 2013.  Earnings in both periods included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations.  These items were primarily for restructuring, asset impairment, and related charges and these items decreased earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company by $63 million, or $0.38 per share, in 2014 and $20 million, or $0.12 per share, in 2013.

Items Excluded from Reportable Segment Totals

 

Retained Corporate Costs and Other

 

Retained corporate costs and other for the third quarter of 2014 was $20 million compared with $27 million for the third quarter of 2013, and $79 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared with $92 million for the first nine months of 2013.  Retained corporate costs and other declined for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to lower pension expense.

 

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Related Charges

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded restructuring, asset impairment and related charges of $79 million, primarily in the Asia Pacific region.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded restructuring, asset impairment and related charges of $10 million, primarily related to the European Asset Optimization program.  See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $5 million to equity earnings.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The loss from discontinued operations of $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a settlement of a dispute with the purchaser of a previously disposed business, as well as ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.  The loss from discontinued operations of $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included special termination benefits related to a previously disposed business, as well as ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had cash and total debt of $264 million and $3.5 billion, respectively, compared to $219 million and $3.7 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2013.  A significant portion of the cash was held in mature, liquid markets where the Company has operations, such as the U.S., Europe and Australia, and is readily available to fund global liquidity requirements.  The amount of cash held in non-U.S. locations as of September 30, 2014 was $225 million.

 

Current and Long-Term Debt

 

On May 19, 2011, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”).  At September 30, 2014, the Agreement included a $900 million revolving credit facility, a $405 million term loan, a 81 million Canadian dollar term loan, and a €85 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of May 19, 2016.  At September 30, 2014, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $736 million available under the Agreement.

 

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at September 30, 2014 was 2.02%.

 

43



 

The Company repurchased $15 million and $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes during the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

During March 2013, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €330 million due March 31, 2021.  The notes bear interest at 4.875% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.  The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $418 million.

 

During March 2013, the Company discharged, in accordance with the indenture, all €300 million of the 6.875% senior notes due 2017.

 

The Company assesses its capital raising and refinancing needs on an ongoing basis and may enter into additional credit facilities and seek to issue equity and/or debt securities in the domestic and international capital markets if market conditions are favorable.  Also, depending on market conditions, the Company may elect to repurchase portions of its debt securities in the open market.

 

The Company has a €215 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends through September 2016, subject to periodic renewal of backup credit lines.  Information related to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program is as follows:

Cash Flows

 

Free cash flow was $(81) million for the first nine months of 2014 compared to $10 million for the first nine months of 2013.  The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by continuing operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment from continuing operations.  Free cash flow does not conform to U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to the cash flow measures reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The Company uses free cash flow for internal reporting, forecasting and budgeting and believes this information allows the board of directors, management, investors and analysts to better understand the Company’s financial performance.  Free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is calculated as follows:

Operating activities:  Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $209 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with $249 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in cash provided by continuing operating activities was primarily due to an increase in other net items of $111 million in 2014 compared to an increase of $27 million in 2013, primarily due to cash paid for returnable packaging and deferred customer contracts.  In addition, fewer dividends were received from the Company’s equity investments in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year.  These items were partially offset by a decrease in cash paid for restructuring activities of $9 million and a decrease in asbestos-related payments of $36 million.

 

Investing activities:  Cash utilized in investing activities was $267 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $249 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Capital spending for property, plant and equipment was $290 million during the first nine months of 2014 and $239 million during the same period in the prior year.  The increase in capital spending in 2014 was primarily due to higher spending in Europe as part of the region’s ongoing asset optimization program.  Investing activities in 2014 also included $23 million of other net activity that was primarily related to proceeds from the repayment of a loan from one of the Company’s noncontrolling partners in South America.

 

In October 2014, the Company announced that it has agreed to enter into a 50-50 joint venture with Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE:STZ) (“Constellation”) to operate a glass container plant in Nava, Mexico.  The Company and Constellation are each expected to contribute approximately $100 million to the joint venture in the fourth quarter of  2014.  To help meet current and rising demand from Constellation’s adjacent brewery, the joint venture plans to expand the plant from one furnace to four over the next four years.  The capacity expansion, which is expected to cost approximately $350 million, will be financed by equal contributions from both partners.

 

Financing activities:  Cash utilized in financing activities was $29 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $198 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in cash utilized by financing activities was primarily due to a net increase of $17 million in borrowings in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a net decrease in borrowings of $159 million in the same period in 2013.  The change in borrowings between 2014 and 2013 was primarily due to the lower level of free cash flow generated through the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.  The Company also repurchased shares of its common stock for $12 million and $20 million in the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Company paid $37 million and $21 million in distributions to noncontrolling interests in the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program through December 31, 2017.  This authorization included the approximately $85 million remaining under the current program.  The Company expects to repurchase at least $100 million shares of the Company’s common stock in 2015.

 

The Company anticipates that cash flows from its operations and from utilization of credit available under the Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating and seasonal working capital needs, debt service and other obligations on a short-term (twelve-months) and long-term basis.  Based on the Company’s expectations regarding future payments for lawsuits and claims and also based on the Company’s expected operating cash flow, the Company believes that the payment of any deferred amounts of previously settled or otherwise determined lawsuits and claims, and the resolution of presently pending and anticipated future lawsuits and claims associated with asbestos, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s liquidity on a short-term or long-term basis.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The Company’s analysis and discussion of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.  Estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time the financial statements are issued.  The results of these estimates may form the basis of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and may not be readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results, under conditions and circumstances different from those assumed, may differ from estimates.

 

The impact of, and any associated risks related to, estimates and assumptions are discussed within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, if applicable, where estimates and assumptions affect the Company’s reported and expected financial results.

 

There have been no other material changes in critical accounting estimates at September 30, 2014 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This document contains “forward looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Forward looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk.  The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward looking statements.  It is possible the Company’s future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to the following: (1) foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, specifically the Euro, Brazilian real and Australian dollar, (2) changes in capital availability or cost, including interest rate fluctuations and the ability of the Company to refinance debt at favorable terms, (3) the general political, economic and competitive conditions in markets and countries where the Company has operations, including uncertainties related to economic and social conditions, disruptions in capital markets, disruptions in the supply chain, competitive pricing pressures, inflation or deflation, and changes in tax rates and laws, (4) consumer preferences for alternative forms of packaging, (5) cost and availability of raw materials, labor, energy and transportation, (6) the Company’s ability to manage its cost structure, including its success in implementing restructuring plans and achieving cost savings, (7) consolidation among competitors and customers, (8) the ability of the Company to acquire businesses and expand plants, integrate operations of acquired businesses and achieve expected synergies, (9) unanticipated expenditures with respect to environmental, safety and health laws, (10) the Company’s ability to further develop its sales, marketing and product development capabilities, and (11) the timing and occurrence of events which are beyond the control of the Company, including any expropriation of the Company’s operations, floods and other natural disasters, events related to asbestos-related claims, and the other risk factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report

 

46



 

on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors.  Any forward looking statements in this document are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances.  Forward looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from expectations.  While the Company continually reviews trends and uncertainties affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or supplement any particular forward looking statements contained in this document.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

 

There have been no material changes in market risk at September 30, 2014 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities.  As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those maintained with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2014.

 

Management concluded that the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.  As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.  The Company has undertaken a phased implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning software system.  The phased implementation commenced in the South America segment during 2013 and concluded during the second quarter of 2014, resulting in changes to certain

 

47



 

processes in that segment.  The Company believes it is maintaining and monitoring appropriate internal controls during the implementation period and further believes that its internal control environment will be enhanced as a result of implementation.  There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
