The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Eaton Corporation (Eaton or Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Eaton’s 2011 Form 10-K. The interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC.
In 2012 and 2011, Eaton acquired businesses and entered into a joint venture in separate transactions. The Consolidated Statements of Income include the results of these businesses from the dates of the transactions or formation. These transactions and the related annual sales prior to acquisition are summarized below:
6
On April 5, 2012, Eaton reached an agreement to acquire substantially all the shares of Jeil Hydraulics Co., Ltd., a Korean manufacturer of hydraulic motors and valves with sales of $189 for 2011. The acquisition closed on July 6, 2012 and will be included in the Hydraulics segment. On May 21, 2012, Eaton reached an agreement to acquire Cooper Industries plc (Cooper). Cooper is incorporated in Ireland and is a diversified global manufacturer of electrical components and tools with sales of $5.4 billion for 2011. At the close of the transaction, Eaton and Cooper will be combined under a newly created company (New Eaton), which is currently called Eaton Corporation Limited and is incorporated in Ireland. The total consideration to be received by Cooper shareholders in the transaction is comprised of both cash and equity and has a value of approximately $11.8 billion based on the closing share price of Eaton common stock of $42.40 on May 18, 2012. Based on the terms of the transaction agreement, the purchase consideration entitles the holder of each ordinary share of Cooper to receive from New Eaton $39.15 and 0.77479 of a New Eaton ordinary share. At the close of the transaction, the former shareholders of Eaton and Cooper are expected to own approximately 73% and 27% of New Eaton, respectively. The transaction is subject to respective shareholder approval, receipt of certain regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, and is expected to close in the second half of 2012.
Eaton incurs charges related to the integration of acquired businesses. A summary of these charges follows:
7 Business segment charges in 2012 were related primarily to The Moeller Group, E. Begerow GmbH & Co. KG and Internormen Technology Group. Business segment charges in 2011 were related primarily to CopperLogic, Wright Line Holding and EMC Engineers. These charges were included in Cost of products sold or Selling and administrative expense, as appropriate. In Note 13. Business Segment Information, the charges reduced Operating profit of the related business segment. Corporate charges in 2012 were related primarily to pre-acquisition transaction costs associated with the planned acquisition of Cooper. These charges were included in Selling and administrative expense. In Note 13. Business Segment Information, the charges were included in Other corporate expense-net. See Note 2 for additional information about business acquisitions.
A summary of goodwill follows:
The increase in goodwill in 2012 was primarily due to a business acquired during 2012. For additional information regarding acquired businesses, see Note 2.
On May 21, 2012, Eaton secured a 364-day bridge facility totaling $6.75 billion related to financing the cash portion of the acquisition of Cooper. The bridge facility will be available in a single draw on the acquisition closing date. At the Company's discretion, the interest rate on the bridge facility may initially be set at either a LIBOR-based rate plus a margin of 1.25%, with increases in margin every 90 days to a maximum margin of 2.50%, or an Alternate Base Rate (ABR) plus the margin for LIBOR loans at any time minus 1.00%. The ABR is the highest of (a) Prime Rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal), (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%. The bridge facility allows for voluntary prepayment at any time without a premium or penalty. Upon the closing of the Cooper acquisition and shortly thereafter, the bridge facility will be guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company and Cooper. The bridge facility contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which may accelerate the payment of interest and principal amounts outstanding. The bridge facility is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants. At June 30, 2012, capitalized deferred financing fees totaled $39 and are being amortized over the estimated term of the bridge facility. On June 14, 2012, Eaton refinanced a $500, three-year revolving credit facility and a $500, five-year revolving credit facility with a $750, three-year revolving credit facility and a $750, five-year revolving credit facility, respectively. These facilities increase long-term revolving credit facilities from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. The revolving credit facilities are used to support commercial paper borrowings. The three-year revolving credit facility will expire June 14, 2015, and the five-year revolving credit facility will expire June 14, 2017. There were no borrowings outstanding under Eaton's revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2012. On June 28, 2012, Eaton received proceeds totaling $600 from the private issuance of $300, 3.47% notes due June 28, 2021 and $300, 3.68% notes due June 28, 2023 (collectively, the Notes). Interest is payable semi-annually. The Notes contain a change of control provision which requires the Company to make an offer to purchase all or any part of the Notes at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes are subject to certain customary covenants. These financing activities were initiated to enhance the Company's capital structure prior to completing the acquisition of Cooper. See Note 2 for additional information about business acquisitions. 8
The components of retirement benefits expense follow:
In December 2010, a Brazilian court held that a judgment obtained by a Brazilian company, Raysul, against another Brazilian company, Saturnia, which was sold by Eaton in 2006, could be enforced against Eaton Ltda. This judgment is based on an alleged violation of an agency agreement between Raysul and Saturnia. At June 30, 2012, the Company has a total accrual of 74 Brazilian Reais related to this matter ($37 based on current exchange rates), comprised of 60 Brazilian Reais recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 ($30 based on current exchange rates) with an additional 14 Brazilian Reais recognized through June 30, 2012 ($7 based on current exchange rates) due to subsequent accruals for interest and inflation. The Company expects that any sum it may be required to pay in connection with this matter will not exceed the amount of the recorded liability. In 2010, Eaton filed motions for clarification with the Brazilian court of appeals which were denied on April 6, 2011. Eaton Holding and Eaton Ltda. filed appeals on various issues to the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia. On September 27, 2011, the Superior Court of Justice accepted two of the appeals and on November 21, 2011, Eaton's remaining appeal was accepted. These appeals will be heard in due course. On October 5, 2006, ZF Meritor LLC and Meritor Transmission Corporation (collectively, Meritor) filed an action against Eaton in the United States District Court for Delaware. The action sought damages, which would be trebled under United States antitrust laws, as well as injunctive relief and costs. The suit alleged that Eaton engaged in anti-competitive conduct against Meritor in the sale of heavy-duty truck transmissions in North America. Following a four week trial on liability only, on October 8, 2009, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Meritor. Eaton firmly believes that it competes fairly and honestly for business in the marketplace, and that at no time did it act in an anti-competitive manner. During an earlier stage in the case, the judge concluded that damage estimates contained in a report filed by Meritor were not based on reliable data and the report was specifically excluded from the case. On November 3, 2009, Eaton filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law and to set aside the verdict. That motion was denied on March 10, 2011. On March 14, 2011, Eaton filed a motion for entry of final judgment of liability, zero damages and no injunctive relief. That motion was denied on June 9, 2011. On August 19, 2011, the Court entered final judgment of liability but awarded zero damages to plaintiffs. The Court also entered an injunction prohibiting Eaton from offering rebates or other incentives based on purchasing targets but stayed the injunction pending appeal. Eaton has appealed the liability finding and the injunction to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Meritor has cross-appealed the finding of zero damages. Accordingly, an estimate of any potential loss related to this action cannot be made at this time. 9 Eaton is subject to a broad range of claims, administrative and legal proceedings such as lawsuits that relate to contractual allegations, tax audits, patent infringement, personal injuries (including asbestos claims), antitrust matters and employment-related matters. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes they will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was 8.7% compared to 14.7% for the second quarter of 2011 and 11.9% for the first six months of 2012 compared to 14.6% for the first six months of 2011. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in a European jurisdiction due to realization of a lower effective tax rate, and higher foreign tax credits, partially offset by the expiration of the U.S. Research and Experimentation tax credit as of December 31, 2011. The lower effective tax rate in the first six months of 2012 was attributable to the items noted above and the favorable impact of enhanced investment incentives in Europe. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, the IRS issued a Notice for Eaton's 2005 and 2006 tax years. The Notice proposes assessments of $75 in additional taxes plus $52 in penalties related primarily to transfer pricing adjustments for products manufactured in the Company's facilities in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic and sold to affiliated companies located in the U.S., net of agreed credits and deductions. The Company has set its transfer prices for products sold between these affiliates at the same prices that the Company sells such products to third parties. The Notice was issued despite the IRS having previously recognized the validity of the Company's transfer pricing methodology by entering into two successive binding Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs) that approved and, in fact, required the application of the Company's transfer pricing methodology for the ten year period of 2001 through 2010. For the years 2001 through 2004, the IRS had previously accepted the transfer pricing methodology related to these APAs after a comprehensive review conducted in two separate audit cycles. On December 16, 2011, immediately prior to the Notice being issued, the IRS sent a letter stating that it was canceling the APAs. The Company firmly believes that the proposed assessments are without merit. The Company also believes that it was in full compliance with the terms of the two APAs and that the IRS's unilateral attempt to retroactively cancel these two binding contracts is also without merit and represents a breach of the two contracts. On February 29, 2012, the Company filed a Petition with the U.S. Tax Court in which it asserted that the transfer pricing established in the two APA contracts meets the arms-length standard set by the U.S. income tax law, that the transfer pricing the Company has used is in full compliance with U.S. income tax laws, and accordingly, that the two APA contracts should be enforced in accordance with their terms. On June 11, 2012, the Company filed a motion for partial summary judgment with the U.S. Tax Court, asking the U.S. Tax Court to rule the APAs are “contracts” and that the IRS has the burden of proof to substantiate cancellation of the APAs. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The changes in Shareholders’ equity follow:
10 Net Income per Common Share A summary of the calculation of net income per common share attributable to common shareholders follows:
For the second quarter and first six months of 2012, 2.4 million and 1.7 million stock options, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the common shares during the period and their effect, accordingly, would have been antidilutive. For the second quarter and first six months of 2011, 0.5 million and 0.3 million stock options, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the common shares during the period and their effect, accordingly, would have been antidilutive.
Fair value is measured based on an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to satisfy a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a fair value hierarchy is established, which categorizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. A summary of financial instruments recognized at fair value, and the fair value measurements used, follows:
11 Eaton values its financial instruments using an industry standard market approach, in which prices and other relevant information is generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. No financial instruments were recognized using unobservable inputs. Other Fair Value Measurements Long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt had a carrying value of $4,287 and fair value of $4,820 at June 30, 2012 compared to $3,687 and $4,273, respectively, at December 31, 2011. The fair value of debt is determined based on trade information in the financial markets of the Company's public debt and is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.
In the normal course of business, Eaton is exposed to certain risks related to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company uses various derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency swaps and, to a lesser extent, commodity contracts, to manage risks from these market fluctuations. The instruments used by Eaton are straightforward, non-leveraged instruments. The counterparties to these instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings. Eaton maintains control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty and regularly monitors the credit rating of these institutions. Such instruments are not purchased and sold for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounting for the gain or loss resulting from the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, as to the nature of the hedging activity. Eaton formally documents all relationships between derivative financial instruments accounted for as hedges and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking all derivative financial instruments to a recognized asset or liability, specific firm commitment, forecasted transaction, or net investment in a foreign operation. These financial instruments can be designated as:
The gain or loss from a derivative financial instrument designated as a hedge that is effective is classified in the same line of the Consolidated Statements of Income as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item. The change in fair value of a derivative financial instrument that is not effective as a hedge is immediately recognized in income. For derivatives that are not designated as a hedge, any gain or loss is immediately recognized in income. The majority of derivatives used in this manner relate to risks resulting from assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and certain commodity contracts that arise in the normal course of business. Gains and losses associated with commodity hedge contracts are classified in Cost of products sold. Eaton uses certain of its debt denominated in foreign currency to hedge portions of its net investments in foreign operations against foreign currency exposure (net investment hedges). Debt denominated in foreign currency and designated as non-derivative net investment hedging instruments was $126 at June 30, 2012 and $129 at December 31, 2011. 12 Derivative Financial Statement Impacts The fair value of derivative financial instruments recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets follows:
The foreign currency exchange contracts shown in the table above as derivatives not designated as hedges are primarily contracts entered into to manage foreign currency volatility or exposure on intercompany sales and loans. While Eaton does not elect hedge accounting treatment for these derivatives, Eaton targets managing 100% of the intercompany balance sheet exposure to minimize the effect of currency volatility related to the movement of goods and services in the normal course of its operations. This activity represents the great majority of these foreign currency exchange contracts. 13 Amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) follow:
Gains and losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the Consolidated Statements of Income were recognized in Cost of products sold or Interest expense-net, as appropriate. Amounts recognized in net income follow:
Gains and losses described above were recognized in Interest expense-net. 14
The components of inventory follow:
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Eaton’s operating segments are Electrical Americas, Electrical Rest of World, Hydraulics, Aerospace, Truck and Automotive. For additional information regarding Eaton’s business segments, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2011 Form 10-K. 15

Amounts are in millions of dollars or shares unless indicated otherwise (per share data assume dilution). COMPANY OVERVIEW Eaton Corporation is a diversified power management company with 2011 net sales of $16.0 billion. The Company is a global technology leader in electrical components and systems for power quality, distribution and control; hydraulics components, systems and services for industrial and mobile equipment; aerospace fuel, hydraulics and pneumatic systems for commercial and military use; and truck and automotive drivetrain and powertrain systems for performance, fuel economy and safety. Eaton has approximately 73,000 employees in over 50 countries, and sells products to customers in more than 150 countries. Eaton acquired certain businesses that affect comparability on a year over year basis. The Consolidated Statements of Income include the results of these businesses from the dates of the transactions or formation. For a list of business acquisitions and joint ventures impacting the comparative periods, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A summary of Eaton’s Net sales, Net income attributable to Eaton common shareholders, and Net income per common share-diluted follows:
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion of Consolidated Financial Results and Business Segment Results of Operations includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include operating earnings, operating earnings per common share, and operating profit before acquisition integration charges for each business segment, each of which excludes amounts that differ from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the table below and in the discussion of the operating results of each business segment. Management believes that these financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude transactions of an unusual nature, allowing investors to more easily compare Eaton’s financial performance period to period. Management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the on-going performance of Eaton and each business segment. 17 Consolidated Financial Results
Net Sales Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 decreased 1% compared to the second quarter of 2011. The sales decrease was due to a decrease of 5% from the impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by an increase of 3% in core sales and 1% from acquisitions of businesses. End markets increased 3% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Net sales in the first six months of 2012 increased 2% compared to the first six months of 2011. The sales increase was due to an increase of 4% in core sales and 1% from acquisitions of businesses, partially offset by a 3% decrease from the impact of foreign exchange. The increase in core sales in both the second quarter and first six months of 2012 reflects the modest growth of the Company's markets. Eaton now anticipates that its revenues will grow by 4% for all of 2012. Gross Profit Gross profit increased 2% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit margin increased 0.8 percentage points from 30.0% in the second quarter of 2011 to 30.8% in the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit increased 5% in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. Gross profit margin increased 0.8 percentage points from 29.8% for the first six months of 2012 to 30.6% for the first six months of 2012. The gross profit margin in both the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was positively impacted by strong incremental margins on sales volume growth. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was 8.7% compared to 14.7% for the second quarter of 2011 and 11.9% for the first six months of 2012 compared to 14.6% for the first six months of 2011. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities in a European jurisdiction due to realization of a lower effective tax rate, and higher foreign tax credits, partially offset by the expiration of the U.S. Research and Experimentation tax credit as of December 31, 2011. The lower effective tax rate in the first six months of 2012 was attributable to the items noted above and the favorable impact of enhanced investment incentives in Europe. Net Income Net income attributable to Eaton common shareholders of $382 in the second quarter of 2012 increased 14% compared to net income of $336 in the second quarter of 2011, and Net income per common share of $1.12 in the second quarter of 2012 increased 15% over Net income per common share of $0.97 in the second quarter of 2011. Net income attributable to Eaton common shareholders of $693 in the first six months of 2012 increased 11% compared to net income of $623 in the first six months of 2011, and Net income per common share of $2.04 in the first six months of 2012 increased 13% over Net income per common share of $1.80 in the first six months of 2011. The increase in both the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was primarily due to gross profit improvements and a lower effective tax rate in both the second quarter and first six months of 2012. 18 Business Segment Results of Operations The following is a discussion of net sales, operating profit and operating profit margin by business segment which includes a discussion of operating profit and operating profit margin before acquisition integration charges. For additional information related to acquired businesses and acquisition integration charges, see Note 2 and Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively. Electrical Americas
Net sales increased 10% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to an increase of 10% in core sales and an increase of 1% from the acquisition of businesses, partially offset by a 1% decrease from the impact of foreign exchange. End markets grew 8% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Net sales increased 11% in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011 due to an increase of 11% in core sales and an increase of 1% from the acquisition of businesses, partially offset by a 1% decrease from the impact of foreign exchange. The increase in net sales in both the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was due to continued growth in markets served by the Electrical Americas segment, with particularly strong growth in residential and non-residential construction markets. Eaton now anticipates its Electrical Americas markets will grow by 8% for all of 2012. Operating profit before acquisition integration charges in the second quarter of 2012 increased 32% from the second quarter of 2011. Operating margin before acquisition integration charges increased 2.9 percentage points from 14.0% in the second quarter of 2011 to 16.9% in the second quarter of 2012. Operating profit before acquisition integration charges in the first six months of 2012 increased 27% from the first six months of 2011. Operating margin before acquisition integration charges increased 2.0 percentage points from 14.0% for the first six months of 2011 to 16.0% for the first six months of 2012. The increase in operating margin in both the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was largely due to benefits from higher sales volumes. 19 Electrical Rest of World
Net sales decreased 13% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to a decrease of 8% from the impact of foreign exchange and a decrease of 7% in core sales, partially offset by an increase of 2% from the acquisition of a business. End markets declined 3% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. Net sales decreased 13% in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011 due to a decrease in core sales of 10% and a decrease of 5% from the impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by an increase of 2% from the acquisition of a business. The decrease in net sales in both the second quarter and first six months of 2012 reflects the continued regional recession in Europe and weakness in the China market. Eaton now anticipates its Electrical Rest of World markets will decline 3% for all of 2012. Operating profit before acquisition integration charges in the second quarter of 2012 decreased 29% from the second quarter of | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
