Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of the following risks. Please note that additional risks not presently known to us may also materially impact our business and operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We depend on revenues and earnings from a small number of significant customers. Any bankruptcy of or loss, cancellation, reduction or delay in purchases by these customers could harm our business. In 20122013, our net sales to General Electric and its subsidiaries accounted for 17%21% of our total sales and approximately 54%55% of Aerospace's net sales. Additionally, approximately 19%21% of Aerospace's sales in 20122013 were to its next two largest customers. Approximately 17%13% of Industrial's sales in 20122013 were to its three largest customers. Some of our success will depend on the business strength and viability of those customers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our largest customers. A tightening in the credit markets may affect our customers’ ability to raise debt or equity capital. This may reduce the amount of liquidity available to our customers which may limit their ability to purchase products. Some of our customers may in the future reduce their purchases due to economic conditions or shift their purchases from us to our competitors, in-house or to other sources. Some of our long-term sales agreements provide that until a firm order is placed by a customer for a particular product, the customer may unilaterally reduce or discontinue its projected purchases without penalty, or terminate for convenience. The loss of one or more of our largest customers, any reduction, cancellation or delay in sales to these customers (including a reduction in aftermarket volume in our RSPs), our inability to successfully develop relationships with new customers, or future price concessions we make to retain customers could significantly reduce our sales and profitability.
We have significant indebtedness that could affect our operations and financial condition. At December 31, 20122013, we had consolidated debt obligations of $646.6547.4 million, representing approximately 45%32% of our total capital (indebtedness plus stockholders’ equity) as of that date. Our level of indebtedness, proportion of variable rate debt obligations and the significant debt servicing costs associated with that indebtedness may adversely affect our operations and financial condition as well as the value or trading price of our outstanding equity securities and debt securities. For example, our indebtedness could require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the amount of our cash flows available for working capital, capital expenditures, investments in technology and research and development, acquisitions, dividends and other general corporate purposes; limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industries in which we compete; place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors, some of whom have lower debt service obligations and greater financial resources than we do; limit our ability to borrow additional funds; or increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions. In addition, conditions in the worldwide credit markets may limit our ability to expand our credit lines beyond current bank commitments.
Economic weakness and uncertainty could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Prolonged slow growth or a downturn, worsening or broadening of adverse conditions in the worldwide and domestic economies could affect purchases of our products, and create or exacerbate credit issues, cash flow issues and other financial hardships for us and for our suppliers and customers. Depending upon their severity and duration, these conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Our failure to meet certain financial covenants required by our debt agreements may materially and adversely affect our assets, financial position and cash flows. A majority of our debt arrangements require us to maintain certain debt and interest coverage ratios and limit our ability to incur debt, make investments or undertake certain other business activities. These requirements could limit our ability to obtain future financing and may prevent us from taking advantage of attractive business opportunities. Our ability to meet the financial covenants or requirements in our debt arrangements may be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will satisfy such covenants and requirements. A breach of these covenants or our inability to comply with the restrictions could result in an event of default under our debt arrangements which, in turn, could result in an event of default under the terms of our other indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our debt arrangements, after the expiration of any grace periods, our lenders could elect to declare all amounts
outstanding under our debt arrangements, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If this were to happen, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full the payments due under those arrangements or
our other indebtedness.
Our operations depend on our manufacturing, sales, distribution sales,and service facilities and information systems in various parts of the world which are subject to physical, financial, regulatory, environmental, operational and other risks that could disrupt our operations. We have a significant number of manufacturing facilities and distribution, technical service, sales and salesdistribution centers outside the U.S. The international scope of our business subjects us to increased risks and uncertainties such as threats of war, terrorism and instability of governments; compliance with U.S. laws affecting operations outside of the U.S., such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and economic, regulatory and legal systems in countries in which we or our customers conduct business. In addition, because we depend upon our information systems to help process orders, to manage inventory and accounts receivable collections, to purchase, sell and ship products efficiently and on a timely basis, to maintain cost-effective operations, and to help provide superior service to our customers, any disruption or failure in the operation of our information systems, including from conversions or integrations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Some of our facilities are located in areas that may be affected by natural disasters, including earthquakes or tsunamis, which could cause significant damage and disruption to the operations of those facilities and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, some of our manufacturing equipment and tooling is custom-made and is not readily replaceable. Loss of such equipment or tooling could have a negative impact on our manufacturing business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Although we have obtained property damage and business interruption insurance, a major catastrophe such as an earthquake, hurricane, flood, tsunami or other natural disaster at any of our sites, or significant labor strikes, work stoppages, political unrest, or any of the events described above, some of which may not be covered by our insurance, in any of the areas where we conduct operations could result in a prolonged interruption of our business. Any disruption resulting from these events could cause significant delays in the manufacture or shipment of products or the provision of repair and other services that may result in our loss of sales and customers. Our insurance will not cover all potential risks, and we cannot assure you that we will have adequate insurance to compensate us for all losses that result from any insured risks. Any material loss not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We cannot assure you that insurance will be available in the future at a cost acceptable to us or at a cost that will not have a material adverse effect on our profitability, net income and cash flows.
Further, in the ordinary course of our business, we store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our employees, in our data centers and on our networks. The secure maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our business operations. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties, disrupt our operations, and damage our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.
The global nature of our business exposes us to foreign currency fluctuations that may affect our future revenues, debt levels and profitability. We have manufacturing facilities and distribution, technical service, sales and salesdistribution centers around the world, and the majority of our foreign operations use the local currency as their functional currency. These include, among others, the Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Euro, Japanese yen, Korean won, Mexican peso, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona, Swiss franc and Thai baht. Since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies expose us to translation risk when the local currency financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars. Changes in currency exchange rates may also expose us to transaction risk. We may buy protecting or offsetting positions or hedges in certain currencies to reduce our exposure to currency exchange fluctuations; however, these transactions may not be adequate or effective to protect us from the exposure for which they are purchased. We have not engaged in any speculative hedging activities. Currency fluctuations may impact our revenues and profitability in the future.
OurThe global nature of our operations and assets subject us to additional financial and regulatory risks. We have operations and assets in various parts of the world. In addition, we sell or may in the future sell our products and services to the U.S. and foreign governments and in foreign countries. Accordingly, we are subject to various risks, including: U.S. imposed embargoes of sales to specific countries; foreign import controls (which may be arbitrarily imposed or enforced); import regulations and duties; export regulations (which require us to comply with stringent licensing regimes); anti-dumping regulations; price and currency controls; exchange rate fluctuations; dividend remittance restrictions; expropriation of assets;
war, civil uprisings and riots; government instability; government contracting requirements including cost accounting standards, including various procurement, security, and audit requirements, as well as requirements to certify to the government compliance with these
requirements; the necessity of obtaining governmental approval for new and continuing products and operations; legal systems or decrees, laws, taxes, regulations, interpretations and court decisions that are not always fully developed and that may be retroactively or arbitrarily applied; and difficulties in managing a global enterprise. We have experienced inadvertent violations of some of these regulations, including export regulations, safety regulations, regulations prohibiting sales of certain products and product labeling regulations, and regulations prohibiting air transport of aerosol products, in the past, none of which has had or, we believe, will have a material adverse effect on our business. However, any significant violations of these or other regulations in the future could result in civil or criminal sanctions, and the loss of export or other licenses which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We may also be subject to unanticipated income taxes, excise duties, import taxes, export taxes, value added taxes, or other governmental assessments, and taxes may be impacted by changes in legislation in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. In addition, our organizational and capital structure may limit our ability to transfer funds between countries, particularly into the U.S., without incurring adverse tax consequences. Any of these events could result in a loss of business or other unexpected costs that could reduce sales or profits and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our ability to recover our significant deferred tax assets related to tax operating loss carryforwards depends on future income. WeFrom time to time, we may have significant deferred tax assets related to operating loss carryforwards.assets. The realization of these assets is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income. In the event we do not generate sufficient taxable income, in the U.S. during the operating loss carryforward period. Failure to realize this tax benefitthere could havebe a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in the availability or price of materials, products and energy resources could adversely affect our costs and profitability. We may be adversely affected by the availability or price of raw materials, products and energy resources, particularly related to certain manufacturing operations that utilize high-grade steel, spring wire, stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, Hastelloys and inconel.other specialty materials. The availability and price of raw materials and energy resources may be subject to curtailment or change due to, among other things, new laws or regulations, global economic or political events including strikes, terrorist attacks and war, suppliers’ allocations to other purchasers, interruptions in production by suppliers, changes in exchange rates and prevailing price levels. In some instances there are limited sources for raw materials and a limited number of primary suppliers for some of our products for resale. Although we are not dependent upon any single source for any of our principal raw materials or products for resale, and such materials and products have, historically, been readily available, we cannot assure you that such raw materials and products will continue to be readily available. Disruption in the supply of raw materials, products or energy resources or our inability to come to favorable agreements with our suppliers could impair our ability to manufacture, sell and deliver our products and require us to pay higher prices. Any increase in prices for such raw materials, products or energy resources could materially adversely affect our costs and our profitability.
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") established disclosure and reporting requirements regarding the use of “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. These requirements could adversely affect the sourcing and availability of minerals used in the manufacture of certain of our products. As a result, we may not be able to obtain certain materials or products at competitive prices. We may also incur costs to comply with these new requirements, including for due diligence regarding the sources of any conflict minerals used in our products. Further, we may face reputational risk and other challenges with our customers and suppliers if we are unable to verify sufficiently that the minerals used in our products are conflict free.
We maintain pension and other postretirement benefit plans in the U.S. and certain international locations. Our costs of providing defined benefit plans are dependent upon a number of factors, such as the rates of return on the plans’ assets, exchange rate fluctuations, future governmental regulation, global equity prices, and our required and/or voluntary contributions to the plans. Declines in the stock market, prevailing interest rates, declines in discount rates and rising medical costs may cause an increase in our pension and other postretirement benefit expenses in the future and result in reductions in our pension fund asset values and increases in our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. These changes have caused and may continue to cause a significant reduction in our net worth and without sustained growth in the pension investments over time to increase the value of the plans’ assets, and depending upon the other factors listed above, we could be required to increase funding for some or all of these pension and postretirement plans. Also, we may be subject to significant withdrawal liability assessments if we withdraw from a multi-employer pension plan in which we participate. See Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our cash is highly concentrated with certain financial institutions. At various times we have a concentration of cash in accounts with financial institutions in the U.S. and around the globe. Our holdings in certain of these institutions significantly exceeded the insured limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or their equivalent outside the U.S. at December 31, 2012.2013.
We carry significant inventories and a loss in net realizable value could cause a decline in our net worth. At December 31, 20122013, our inventories totaled $226.2211.2 million. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market based on
managements' management's judgments and estimates concerning future sales levels, quantities and prices at which such inventories will be sold in the normal course of business. Accelerating the disposal process or incorrect estimates of future sales potential may necessitate future reduction to inventory values. The Company's inventories include specialty sparecertain parts forrelated to specific engines within the aerospace market.aftermarket repair and overhaul business. The demand for these spare parts and our ability to utilize these parts depends on the frequency and scope of repair and maintenance of aircraft engines and our ability to effectively access that market. See “Part II - Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” beginning on page 29..
We have significant goodwill and an impairment of our goodwill could cause a decline in our net worth. Our total assets include substantial goodwill. At December 31, 20122013, our goodwill totaled $579.9649.7 million. The goodwill results from our prior acquisitions, representing the excess of the purchase price we paid over the net assets of the companies acquired. We assess whether there has been an impairment in the value of our goodwill during each calendar year or sooner if triggering events warrant. If future operating performance at one or more of our reporting units does not meet expectations or fair values fall due to significant stock market declines, we may be required to reflect a non-cash charge to operating results for goodwill impairment. The recognition of an impairment of a significant portion of goodwill would negatively affect our results of operations and total capitalization, the effect of which could be material. See “Part II - Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” beginning on page 29..
We could be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. Our profitability may be adversely affected as a result of increases in interest rates. At December 31, 20122013, we and our subsidiaries had approximately $646.6547.4 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated debt obligations outstanding, of which approximately 76%71% had interest rates that float with the market. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate on the floating rate debt in effect at December 31, 20122013 would have resulted in an approximate $4.33.8 million annualized increase in interest expense.
We may not realize all of the sales expected from our existing backlog or anticipated orders. At December 31, 20122013, we had $676.9757.8 million of order backlog, the majority of which related to aerospace OEM customers. There can be no assurances that the revenues projected in our backlog will be realized or, if realized, will result in profits. We consider backlog to be firm customer orders for future delivery. From time to time, OEM customers of Aerospace and Industrial provide projections of components and assemblies that they anticipate purchasing in the future under new and existing programs. Such projections are not included in our backlog unless we have received a firm order from our customers. Our customers may have the right under certain circumstances or with certain penalties or consequences to terminate, reduce or defer firm orders that we have in backlog. If our customers terminate, reduce or defer firm orders, we may be protected from certain costs and losses, but our sales will nevertheless be adversely affected. Although we strive to maintain ongoing relationships with our customers, there is an ongoing risk that orders may be cancelled or rescheduled due to fluctuations in our customers’ business needs or purchasing budgets.
Also, our realization of sales from new and existing programs is inherently subject to a number of important risks and uncertainties, including whether our customers execute the launch of product programs on time, or at all, the number of units that our customers actually produce, the timing of production and manufacturing insourcing decisions made by our customers. In addition, until firm orders are placed, our customers generally have the right to discontinue a program or replace us with another supplier at any time without penalty. Our failure to realize sales from new and existing programs could have a material adverse effect on our net sales, results of operations and cash flows.
We may not recover all of our up-front costs related to new or existing programs. New programs may require significant up-front investments for capital equipment, engineering, inventory, design and tooling. As OEMs in the transportation and aerospace industries have looked to suppliers to bear increasing responsibility for the design, engineering and manufacture of systems and components, they have increasingly shifted the financial risk associated with those responsibilities to the suppliers as well. This trend is likely to continue and is most evident in the area of engineering cost reimbursement. We cannot assure you that we will have adequate funds to make such up-front investments or to recover such costs from our customers as part of our product pricing. In the event that we are unable to make such investments, or to recover them through sales or direct reimbursement from our customers, our profitability, liquidity and cash flows may be adversely affected. In addition, we incur costs and make capital expenditures for new program awards based upon certain estimates of production volumes and production complexity. While we attempt to recover such costs and capital expenditures by appropriately pricing our products, the prices of our products are based in part upon planned production volumes. If the actual production is significantly less than planned or significantly more complex than anticipated, we may be unable to recover such costs. In addition, because a significant portion of our overall costs is fixed, declines in our customers’ production levels can adversely affect the level of our reported profits even if our up-front investments are recovered.
We may not realize all of the intangible assets related to RSPs.the Aerospace aftermarket businesses. Our total investments in participation fees under our RSPsRevenue Sharing Programs (RSPs) as of December 31, 20122013 equaled $293.7 million, all of which have been paid. At December 31, 20122013, the remaining
unamortized balance of these participation fees was $239.1229.5 million. We participate in aftermarket RSPs under which we receive an exclusive right to supply designated aftermarket parts over the life of the related aircraft engine program to a large aerospace manufacturer.our customer, General Electric. As consideration, we pay participation fees, which are recorded as long-lived intangible assets and are recognized as a reduction of sales over the estimated useful life of the related engine programs which range up to 30 years.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we entered into a Component Repair Program ("CRP"), also with General Electric. The CRP provides for, among other items, the extension of contracts under which the Company currently provides certain aftermarket component repair services for the CF6 and LM engine programs and the right to sell these services directly to other customers as one of a few General Electric licensed suppliers. The Company has agreed to make a $26.6 million payment as consideration for these rights ("CRP Payment"). The Company has recorded the CRP payment as an intangible asset which is recognized as a reduction of sales over the remaining useful life of these engine programs.
The realizability of each intangible asset is dependent upon future revenues related to the program’s aftermarket parts and services and is subject to impairment testing whenever events orif circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The potential exists that actual revenues will not meet expectations due to a change in market conditions, including, for example, the replacement of older airplane engines with new, more fuel-efficient engines.engines or our ability to capture additional market share within the aftermarket business. A shortfall in future revenues may result in the failure to realize the totalnet amount of the investments, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.operations. In addition, future growth and profitability could be impacted by increasing management fees,the amortization of the participation fees and licenses, and the expiration of the Singapore Pioneerinternational tax status incentives on these programs.
We face risks of cost overruns and losses on fixed-price contracts. We sell certain of our products under firm, fixed-price contracts providing for a fixed price for the products regardless of the production or purchase costs incurred by us. The cost of producing products may be adversely affected by increases in the cost of labor, materials, fuel, outside processing, overhead and other factors, including manufacturing inefficiencies. Increased production costs may result in cost overruns and losses on contracts.
The departure of existing management and key personnel, a shortage of skilled employees or a lack of qualified sales professionals could materially affect our business, operations and prospects. Our executive officers are important to the management and direction of our business. Our future success depends, in large part, on our ability to retain or replace these officers and other capable management personnel. Although we believe we will be able to attract and retain talented personnel and replace key personnel should the need arise, our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Because of the complex nature of many of our products and services, we are generally dependent on an educated and highly skilled workforce, including, for example, our engineering talent. In addition, there are significant costs associated with the hiring and training of sales professionals. We could be adversely affected by a shortage of available skilled employees or the loss of a significant number of our sales professionals.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights effectively, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. We own or are licensed under various intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks and trade secrets. Our intellectual property rights may expire or be challenged, invalidated or infringed upon by third parties. Our failure to obtain or maintain intellectual property rights that convey competitive advantage, adequately protect our intellectual property or detect or prevent circumvention or unauthorized use of such property and the cost of enforcing our intellectual property rights could adversely impact our competitive position, financial condition and results of operations.
Any product liability, warranty, contractual or other claims in excess of insurance may adversely affect our financial condition. Our operations expose us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture and sale of our products and the products we buy from third parties and sell to our customers, or to potential warranty, contractual or other claims. For example, we may be exposed to potential liability for personal injury, property damage or death as a result of the failure of a spring or other part in a vehicle or an aircraft component designed, manufactured or sold by us, or the failure of an aircraft component that has been serviced by us or of the components themselves, including potentially hazardous substances in a product purchased by us and sold by us to one of our customers.themselves. While we have liability insurance for certain risks, our insurance may not cover all liabilities. Additionally, insurance coverage may not be available in the future at a cost acceptable to us. Any material liability not covered by insurance or for which third-party indemnification is not available for the full amount of the loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
From time to time, we receive product warranty claims, under which we may be required to bear costs of repair or replacement of certain of our products. Warranty claims may range from individual customer claims to full recalls of all products in the field. We vigorously defend ourselves in connection with these matters. We cannot, however, assure you that the costs, charges and liabilities associated with these matters will not be material, or that those costs, charges and liabilities will not exceed any amounts reserved for them in our consolidated financial statements.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted by strikes or work stoppages. Approximately 13%18% of our U.S. employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and more than 60%50% of our non-U.S. employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements or statutory trade union agreements. In 20132014, we are scheduled to negotiate national health care and pensiona collective bargaining agreementsagreement with unionized employees at our Bristol, CT, Corry, PA, and Saline, MI locations, which collectively covercovers approximately 275 employees. In addition, we have annual negotiations in Brazil and Mexico and, collectively, these negotiations also cover approximately 290300 employees in
those two countries. We also expect to have negotiations in 20132014 with two of our German locations, oura Singapore location, and our Sweden location, which collectively cover approximately 315, 49, 240 and 300 employees, respectively.over 500 employees. Although we believe that our relations with our employees are good, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in negotiating new collective bargaining agreements or that such negotiations will not result in significant increases in the cost of labor, including healthcare, pensions or other benefits. Any potential strikes or work stoppages, and the resulting adverse impact on our relationships with customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Similarly, a protracted strike or work stoppage at any of our major customers, suppliers or other vendors could materially adversely affect our business.
Changes in accounting guidance and taxation requirements could affect our financial results. New accounting guidance that may become applicable to us from time to time, or changes in the interpretations of existing guidance, could have a significant effect on our reported results for the affected periods. In addition, our products are subject to import and excise duties and/or sales or value-added taxes in many jurisdictions in which we operate. Increases in indirect taxes could affect our products’ affordability and therefore reduce our sales. We are also subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions in which we generate revenues. Changes in tax laws, tax rates or tax rulings may have a significant adverse impact on our effective tax rate. Among other things, our tax liabilities are affected by the mix of pretax income or loss among the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and the repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. We must exercise judgment in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes, interest and penalties; accordingly, future events could change management’s assessment of these amounts.
RISKS RELATED TO THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE
A general economic downturn could adversely affect our business and financial results. All of our businesses are impacted by the health of the economies in which they operate. A decline in economies in which we operate could reduce demand for our products and services or increase pricing pressures, thereby having an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We derive a large portion of our sales from the transportation industry. The operation of our business within that industry subjects us to the pressures applicable to all companies operating in it, including unfavorable pricing pressures. While the precise effects of instability in the transportation industry are difficult to determine, they may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We operate in very competitive markets. We may not be able to compete effectively with our competitors, and competitive pressures could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our threetwo global business segments compete with a number of larger and smaller companies in the markets we serve. Some of our competitors have greater financial, production, research and development, or other resources than we do. Within Aerospace, certain of our OEM customers compete with our repair and overhaul business. Some of our OEM customers in the aerospace industry also compete with us where they have the ability to manufacture the components and assemblies that we supply to them but have chosen, for capacity limitations, cost considerations or other reasons, to outsource the manufacturing to us. Our threetwo business segments compete on the basis of price, service, quality, reliability of supply, technology, innovation and design. A majority of the products sold by Distribution are not unique, and its competitors carry substantially similar products. We must continue to make investments to maintain and improve our competitive position. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments or that we will be successful in maintaining our competitive position. Our competitors may develop products or services, or methods of delivering those products or services that are superior to our products, services or methods. Our competitors may also adapt more quickly than us to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. Pricing pressures could cause us to adjust the prices of certain of our products to stay competitive. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing or future competitors. Also, if consolidation of our existing competitors occurs, we would expect the competitive pressures we face to increase. Our failure to compete successfully could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our customers’ businesses are generally cyclical. Weaknesses in the industries in which our customers operate could impact our revenues and profitability. The industries to which we sell tend to decline in response to overall declines in industrial production. Aerospace is heavily dependent on the commercial aerospace industry, which is cyclical and a long cycle
industry. Industrial and Distribution areis dependent on the transportation industry, and general industrial and tooling markets, all of which are also cyclical. Many of our customers have historically experienced periodic downturns, which often have had a negative effect on demand for our products.
Original equipment manufacturers in the aerospace and transportation industries have significant pricing leverage over suppliers and may be able to achieve price reductions over time. Additionally, we may not be successful in our efforts to raise prices on our customers. There is substantial and continuing pressure from OEMs in the transportation industries, including automotive and aerospace, to reduce the prices they pay to suppliers. We attempt to manage such downward pricing pressure, while trying to preserve our business relationships with our customers, by seeking to reduce our
production costs through various measures, including purchasing raw materials and components at lower prices and implementing cost-effective process improvements. Our suppliers have periodically resisted, and in the future may resist, pressure to lower their prices and may seek to impose price increases. If we are unable to offset OEM price reductions, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected. In addition, OEMs have substantial leverage in setting purchasing and payment terms, including the terms of accelerated payment programs under which payments are made prior to the account due date in return for an early payment discount. OEMs can unexpectedly change their purchasing policies or payment practices, which could have a negative impact on our short-term working capital.
Demand for our defense-related products depends on government spending. A portion of Aerospace's sales are derived from the military market, including single-sourced and dual-sourced sales. The military market is largely dependent upon government budgets and is subject to governmental appropriations. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized in connection with major procurements, funds are generally appropriated on a fiscal year basis even though a program may be expected to continue for several years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded and additional funds are committed only as further appropriations are made. We cannot assure you that maintenance of or increases in defense spending will be allocated to programs that would benefit our business. Moreover, we cannot assure you that new military aircraft programs in which we participate will enter full-scale production as expected. A decrease in levels of defense spending or the government’s termination of, or failure to fully fund, one or more of the contracts for the programs in which we participate could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
The consolidation occurring in the industries in which we operate could adversely affect our business and financial results. The industries in which we operate have been experiencing consolidation. There has been consolidation of both suppliers and the customers we serve. Supplier consolidation is in part attributable to OEMs more frequently awarding long-term sole source or preferred supplier contracts to the most capable suppliers in an effort to reduce the total number of suppliers from whom components and systems are purchased. We cannot assure you that our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will not be adversely impacted as a result of consolidation by our competitors or customers.
The aerospace industry is highly regulated. Complications related to aerospace regulations may adversely affect the Company. A substantial portion of our income is derived from our aerospace businesses. The aerospace industry is highly regulated in the U.S. by the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, and in other countries by similar regulatory agencies. We must be certified by these agencies and, in some cases, by individual OEMs in order to engineer and service systems and components used in specific aircraft models. If material authorizations or approvals were delayed, revoked or suspended, our business could be adversely affected. New or more stringent governmental regulations may be adopted, or industry oversight heightened, in the future, and we may incur significant expenses to comply with any new regulations or any heightened industry oversight.
Environmental regulations impose costs and regulatory requirements on our operations. Environmental compliance may be more costly than we expect, and we may be subject to material environmental-based claims in the future. Our past and present business operations and past and present ownership and operations of real property and the use, sale, storage and handling of chemicals and hazardous products subject us to extensive and changing U.S. federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, as well as those of other countries, pertaining to the discharge of materials into the environment, enforcement, disposition of wastes (including hazardous wastes), the use, shipping, labeling, and storage of chemicals and hazardous materials, building requirements, or otherwise relating to protection of the environment. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations. In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur costs or become subject to new or increased liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We use and generate hazardous substances and wastes in our operations. In addition, many of our current and former properties are or have been used for industrial purposes. Accordingly, we monitor hazardous waste management and applicable environmental permitting and reporting for compliance with applicable laws at our locations in the ordinary course of our business. We may be subject to potential material liabilities relating to any investigation and clean-up of our locations or
properties where we delivered hazardous waste for handling or disposal that may be contaminated or which may have been contaminated prior to our purchase, and to claims alleging personal injury.
High jet fuel and other energy prices may impact our operating results. Rising energy costs generally impact the cost of our operations, and could result in higher transportation, freight and other operating costs. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pass along energy costs to our customers through increased prices. Fuel costs constitute a significant portion of operating expenses for companies in the aerospace industry. Widespread disruption to oil production, refinery operations and pipeline capacity in certain areas of the U.S. can increase the price of jet fuel significantly. Conflicts in the Middle East, an important source of oil for the U.S. and other countries where we do business, cause prices for fuel to be volatile and often significantly higher than historic levels. Because we and many of our customers are in the aerospace industry, increased fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. The price of energy generally
impacts the cost of operating our manufacturing and distribution operations. We have experienced significant increases in energy costs, and energy costs could continue to rise, which would result in higher transportation, freight and other operating costs. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pass along energy costs to our customers through increased prices.
Our products and services may be rendered obsolete by new products, technologies and processes. Our manufacturing operations focus on highly engineered components which require extensive engineering and research and development time. Our competitive advantage may be adversely impacted if we cannot continue to introduce new products ahead of our competition, or if our products are rendered obsolete by other products or by new, different technologies and processes. The success of our new products will depend on a number of factors, including innovation, customer acceptance, the efficiency of our suppliers in providing materials and component parts, and the performance and quality of our products relative to those of our competitors. We cannot predict the level of market acceptance or the amount of market share our new products will achieve. Additionally, we may face increased or unexpected costs associated with new product introduction including the use of additional resources such as personnel. We cannot assure that we will not experience new product introduction delays in the future.
RISKS RELATED TO RESTRUCTURING, ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND JOINT VENTURES
Our acquisition and divestiture strategies and our restructuring activities may not be successful. We have made a number of acquisitions in the past and we anticipate that we may, from time to time, acquire additional businesses, assets or securities of companies that we believe would provide a strategic fit with our businesses. A significant portion of the industries that we serve are mature industries. As a result, our future growth may depend in part on the successful acquisition and integration of businesses into our existing operations. We may not be able to identify and successfully negotiate suitable acquisitions, obtain financing for future acquisitions on satisfactory terms, obtain regulatory approvals or otherwise complete acquisitions in the future. We have also in the past divested assets and businesses. We may in the future engage in discussions with potential acquirers of certain of our assets or businesses in order to meet our strategic objectives, but we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in finding suitable purchasers for any such desired sale of such assets or businesses.
We will need to integrate any acquired businesses with our existing operations. We cannot assure you that we will effectively assimilate the business or product offerings of acquired companies into our business or product offerings or realize anticipated operational synergies. In connection with the integration of acquired operations or the conduct of our overall business strategies, we may periodically restructure our businesses and/or sell assets or portions of our business. Integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies into our existing operations may result in difficulties, significant expense and accounting charges, disrupt our business or divert management’s time and attention.
Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including potential exposure to unknown liabilities of acquired companies and the possible loss of key employees and customers of the acquired business. In connection with acquisitions or joint venture investments outside the U.S., we may enter into derivative contracts to purchase foreign currency in order to hedge against the risk of foreign currency fluctuations in connection with such acquisitions or joint venture investments, which subjects us to the risk of foreign currency fluctuations associated with such derivative contracts. Additionally, our final determinations and appraisals of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisitions may vary materially from earlier estimates. We cannot assure you that the fair value of acquired businesses will remain constant.
The acquisition of Synventivethe Männer Business exposes the Company to a number of risks and uncertainties, the occurrence of any of which could materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations as well as the market price of our common stock. Such risks and uncertainties include risks relating to the integration of Synventive's businessthe Männer Business with the Company, the financial performance of Synventivethe Männer Business and risks associated with incurring additional indebtedness.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the SynventiveMänner Business acquisition. Our ability to realize such benefits will depend on our ability to successfully and efficiently integrate Synventive'sMänner's business, which involves certain products and services markets and geographiesmarkets that are new to the Company, into our business, in addition to an increased scale of our international operations.
Difficulties of integration could include coordinating and consolidating separate systems, integrating the management of the acquired business, retaining market acceptance of Synventive'sMänner's products and services, maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees, and implementing our enterprise resource planning systems and operational procedures and disciplines. Any such difficulties may make it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, business partners and suppliers. In addition, even if integration is successful, the financial performance of the acquired business may not be as expected and there can be no assurance we will realize anticipated revenue and earnings enhancementsbenefits from the SynventiveMänner Business acquisition.
In addition, our management has spent, and willexpects to continue to spend, a significant amount of its time and efforts directed toward the integration of Synventive,the Männer Business, which time and efforts otherwise could have been spent on our other businesses and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us.
Finally, we have incurred a substantial amount of additional indebtedness which could have an adverse effect on our financial health and make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing in the future. The additional debt we incurred to fund the acquisition purchase price may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and may limit our ability to obtain
any necessary financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, future acquisitions, debt service requirements or other purposes. Additionally, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain funds necessary to meet these additional debt obligations. Any default under the Credit Agreement could result in the acceleration of the repayment obligations to our lenders, as well as the acceleration of all of our outstanding debt.
The realization of any of the foregoing risks may materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or the market price of our common stock.
In accordance with applicable SEC guidance, management's report on internal control over financial reporting excludes the assessment of Synventive.the Männer Business. We plan to fully evaluate the internal controls of Synventivethe Männer Business and any subsequently acquired companies, then implement a standardized framework of internal controls at those acquired businesses. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to provide a report that contains no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses with respect to Synventivethe Männer Business or any other acquisitions.
If we engage in a divestiture of assets or a business, we cannot be certain that our business, operating results and financial condition will not be materially and adversely affected. A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including our ability to effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to any purchaser, identify and separate the intellectual property to be divested from the intellectual property that we wish to retain, reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business, and collect the proceeds from any divestitures. In addition, if customers of the divested business do not receive the same level of service from the new owners, this may adversely affect our other businesses to the extent that these customers also purchase other products offered by us. All of these efforts require varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations. If we do not realize the expected benefits or synergies of any divestiture transaction, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted. In addition, divestitures of businesses involve a number of risks, including the
diversion of management and employee attention, significant costs and expenses, the loss of customer relationships, and a decrease in revenues and earnings associated with the divested business. Furthermore, divestitures potentially involve significant post-closing separation activities, which could involve the expenditure of material financial resources and significant employee resources. Any divestiture may result in a dilutive impact to our future earnings if we are unable to offset the dilutive impact from the loss of revenue associated with the divestiture, as well as significant write-offs, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We may not achieve expected cost savings from restructuring activities and actual charges, costs and adjustments due to restructuring activities may vary materially from our estimates. Our ability to realize anticipated cost savings, synergies and revenue enhancements may be affected by a number of factors, including the following: our ability to effectively eliminate duplicative back office overhead and overlapping sales personnel, rationalize manufacturing capacity, synchronize information technology systems, consolidate warehousing and distribution facilities and shift production to more economical facilities; significant cash and non-cash integration and implementation costs or charges in order to achieve those cost savings, which could offset any such savings and other synergies resulting from our acquisitions or divestitures; and our ability to avoid labor disruption in connection with integration efforts or divestitures.
Any joint ventures or teaming arrangements we enter into may not be successful. We may enter into joint ventures or teaming arrangements. Partners with whom we share control may at any time have economic, business or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with our goals or the goals of the joint venture or arrangement. Our joint venture or teaming arrangements may require us to pay certain costs or to make certain capital investments and we may have little control over the amount or the timing of these payments and investments. In addition, our joint venture or teaming partners may be unable to
meet their economic or other obligations and we may be required to fulfill those obligations alone. Our failure or the failure of an entity in which we have a joint venture interest or teaming arrangement to adequately manage the risks associated with any acquisitions, joint ventures or teaming arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We cannot assure you that any of our joint ventures or teaming arrangements will be profitable or that forecasts regarding joint venture or teaming activities will be accurate. In particular, risks and uncertainties associated with our joint ventures and teaming arrangements include, among others, the joint venture’s or teaming partner’s ability to operate its business successfully, to develop appropriate standards, controls, procedures and policies for the growth and management of the joint venture or teaming arrangement and the strength of the their relationships with employees, suppliers and customers.

Management Objectives
Management continues to focus on three areas of development: employees, processes and strategyresults which, in combination, are expected to generate long-term value for the Company's stockholders. The Company's strategies for growth include both organic growth from new products, services, markets and customers, and growth from acquisitions. The Company's strategies for profitability include worldwide application of lean principles, productivity and process initiatives, such as production realignment,new technologies, automation and innovation, intensified focus on intellectual property as a core differentiator, and efficiency and cost-saving measures. A key component of the Company's culture is the Barnes Enterprise System (BES), which provides a solid foundation of continuous improvement, collaboration and innovation throughout the global organization.

The acquisition of Synventivethe Männer Business in August 2012October 2013 represented a significant addition to the Company's portfolio.
Our Business
Barnes Group The Company consists of threetwo operating segments: Aerospace, Industrial and Distribution.Aerospace. In eachboth of these businesses, Barnes Groupthe Company is among the leaders in the market niches served and has highly recognized brands for many of the products it sells or manufactures.served.
The Aerospace segment produces precision-machined and fabricated components and assemblies for original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) turbine engine, airframe and industrial gas turbine builders throughout the world, and for the military. Aerospace provides jet engine component overhaul and repair services for many of the world's major turbine engine manufacturers, commercial airlines and the military. In addition, it manufactures aerospace aftermarket spare parts and provides repair services for aircraft engine components.
The Industrial segment is a global supplier of high quality engineered components for critical applications serving diverse end markets such as transportation, energy, electronics, medical and consumer products. It is equipped to produce virtually every type of precision spring, from fine hairsprings for electronics and instruments to large heavy-duty springs for machinery as well as precision-machined and fabricated components. Industrial is a leading manufacturer and supplier of precision mechanical products, including mechanical springs, compressor reed valves and nitrogen gas products. It also manufactures high-precision punched and fine-blanked components used in transportation and industrial applications, nitrogen gas springs and manifold systems used to precisely control stamping presses, and retention rings that position parts on a shaft or other axis. Additionally, through our recent Synventive acquisition, Industrial is a leading designer and manufacturer of highly engineered and customized hot runner systems and components - the enabling technology for many complex injection molding applications.
The Distribution segment is an industry leader in logistics support through vendor managed inventory and technical sales for maintenance, repair, operating and production supplies, as well as the design, assembly and distribution of engineered supplies for the global industrial base.
Key Performance Indicators
Management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on the sales, operating profit and operating margins of the respective businesses, which includes net sales, cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses and certain components of other income and other expenses, as well as the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Management also uses an internal measurement tool called PPAT, or Performance Profit After Tax. PPAT is an economic value added (“EVA®”) -like metric that calculates operating profit after tax, less a charge for the capital employed by the business. Management utilizes PPAT in economic decision-making, such as capital expenditures, investments in growth initiatives, customer pricing decisions, and evaluation of acquisitions.
All segments have standard key performance indicators (“KPIs”), a number of which are focused on customer metrics (on-time-delivery and quality), internal effectiveness and efficiency metrics (sales per employee, cost of quality, days working capital and controllable expenses), employee-relatedemployee safety-related metrics (total recordable incident rate and lost time incident rate), and specific KPIs on profitable growth.
Key Industry Data
In each segment,both segments, management tracks a variety of economic and industry data as indicators of the health of a particular sector.
At Aerospace, management of the aftermarket aerospace operations monitors the number of aircraft in the active fleet, the number of planes temporarily or permanently taken out of service, aircraft utilization rates for the major airlines, engine shop visits, airline profitability, aircraft fuel costs and traffic growth. The aerospace OEM business regularly tracks orders and deliveries for each of the major aircraft manufacturers, as well as engine purchases made for new aircraft. Management also monitors annual appropriations for the U.S. military related to purchases of new or used aircraft purchases and maintenance.
At Industrial, key data for the manufacturing operations include the Federal Reserve’s Industrial Production Index ("the IPI"); the production of light vehicles, both in the U.S. and globally; worldwide light vehicle new model introductions and existing model refreshes; tooling build schedules; durable goods orders; compressor build forecasts; and global industrial capital expenditures.
At Distribution, the business reviews data supplied by the Institute for Supply Management’s PMI Composite Index and the IPI, which are monthly indicators of the health of U.S. manufacturing activity. Management tracks similar indices in Canada and for the European-based business.engine components.

TableCost of Contentssales in 2013 increased 12.6% from 2012, while gross profit margin increased from 29.4% in 2012 to 32.4% in 2013. Gross margins improved at Industrial and declined at Aerospace. During both 2013 and 2012, gross margins were negatively impacted by the short-term purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisitions of the Männer and the Synventive businesses, respectively. The acquisitions of the Männer and Synventive businesses also resulted in a higher percentage of sales, as well as higher gross profit as a percentage of sales, being driven by Industrial during 2013. Gross margin benefits from the Männer and Synventive businesses were partially offset by an $8.6 million pre-tax inventory valuation charge related to a specific family of spare parts within the Aerospace repair and overhaul business. Selling and administrative expenses increased 38.7% from 2012 due primarily to the incremental operations of the Männer and Synventive businesses and CEO transition costs of $10.5 million. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative costs increased from 17.9% in 2012 to 21.1% in 2013. Operating margin was 11.3% in 2013 compared to 11.5% in 2012.

The decrease in 2011 resulted from lower average interest rates and lower debt discount amortization related to the 3.75% Convertible Notes as compared to the 2010 period. The lower average interest rates reflected the shift to a significantly higher percentage of variable rate debt due to the retirement of the 7.80% Notes and the redemption of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, which were funded with the variable rate Credit Facility, and the expiration of the 2008 interest rate swap agreements.Synventive acquisition.

Excluding the impact of the U.S. Tax Court Decision, the Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2013 was 17.5%. The remaining increase in the 2013 effective tax rate from continuing operations is due to the absence of the 2012 reversal of certain foreign valuation allowances and tax rate decreases in certain foreign jurisdictions, an increase in the Company's Swedish effective tax rate and the change in the mix of earnings attributable to higher-taxing jurisdictions or jurisdictions where losses cannot be benefited in 2013. During 2013, the Company repatriated a dividend from a portion of the current year foreign earnings to the U.S. in the amount of $5.0 million compared to $8.0 million in 2011.2012. This decrease in the dividend reduced tax expense by $0.9 million and decreased the annual effective tax rate by 0.8 percentage points compared to 2012.
Income TaxesIn 2014, the Company expects the effective tax rate from continuing operations to increase to the upper 20 percent principally due to the shift in forecasted mix of earnings predominately to higher taxing jurisdictions, the expiration of a portion of its international tax holidays and the increased repatriation of a portion of current year foreign earnings.

by 3.95.2 percentage points compared to 2011.
In 2013, the Company expects that the effective tax rate from continuing operations will increase principally due to the forecasted mix of earnings, the expiration of additional RSP pioneer tax status certificates and the impact of certain foreign tax law changes.
2011 vs. 2010:
The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was 21.7% in 2011 compared with 15.4% in 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2010 was primarily driven by the shift in the mix of income to higher-taxing jurisdictions and the impact of the increased repatriation of a portion of current year earnings to the U.S. During 2011, the Company repatriated a dividend from a portion of the current year foreign earnings to the U.S. in the amount of $17.5 million compared to $7.5 million in 2010. This incremental dividend increased tax expense by $3.9 million and increased the annual effective tax rate by 3.3 percentage points compared to 2010.

Discontinued Operations
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed the sale of BDNA to MSC pursuant to the terms of the APA between the Company and MSC. The total cash consideration received for BDNA through December 31, 2013 was $538.9 million, net of transaction costs and closing adjustments paid. The net after-tax proceeds were $420.2 million after consideration of certain post closing adjustments, transaction costs and income taxes. The Company made estimated income tax payments of $130.0 million related to the gain on sale during 2013 and has recorded an income tax receivable of $12.6 million in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company completed the sale of its Barnes Distribution Europe businesses (the "BDE business") to Berner SE (the "Purchaser"), headquartered in Kunzelsau, Germany, in a cash transaction pursuant to a Share and Asset Purchase Agreement ("SPA"). The Company received gross proceeds of $33.4 million, which representsrepresented the initial stated purchase price, and which yielded net cash proceeds of $22.5 million after transaction costs, employee transaction related costs, closing adjustments and net cash sold, of which €9.0 million was placed in escrow. The funds would be released from escrow on August 31, 2012 unless there were any then pending claims. Cash related to a pending claim would remain in escrow until a final determination of the claim had been made.
In August 2012, the Purchaser of BDE provided a notice of breach of various warranties to the Company. The Company rejected the Purchaser's notice and demanded release of the full escrow on August 31, 2012. The Purchaser refused to release the full escrow, and only €3.9 million plus interest was released whereas €5.1 million ($6.7($7.0 million at December 31, 2012)2013) plus interest remains in escrow. The Company objected to the retention of the escrow and expects to prevail in this matter. The Company recorded the restricted cash in other assets at December 31, 20122013 and in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2011.2012.
The results of BDNA and the BDE business have been segregated and presented as discontinued operations. In 2011, the Company recorded a $26.9 million loss from discontinued operations which included pre-tax income of $1.0 million, a $26.7 million loss related to the transaction and $1.2 million of tax expense. The 2011 loss related to the transaction included a $16.8 million goodwill impairment charge related to the BDE business and $8.2 million of transaction and employee transaction related costs associated with the sale. In 2012, the Company recorded a $3.0 million loss from discontinued operations, primarily due to adjustments to retained liabilities. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NM - Not Meaningful
In 2013, basic and diluted income from continuing operations per common share decreased 8.2% and 9.0%, respectively. The decreases were directly attributable to the decrease in income from continuing operations year over year. Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding decreased primarily due to the repurchase of 2,350,697 and 700,000 shares in 2013 and 2012, respectively, as part of the publicly announced repurchase programs. The decreases were partially offset by additional shares issued for employee stock plans. The decrease in diluted shares in 2013 was also partially offset by an increase in the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares due to an increase in the Company's stock price and the modification of outstanding equity awards granted to the former Chief Executive Officer in the first quarter of 2013.

2013 vs. 2012:
Sales at Industrial were $687.6 million in 2013, an increase of 27.7% from 2012. The acquisition of Synventive on August 27, 2012 provided an incremental $108.5 million of sales during the January through August 2013 period. The Männer Business, acquired on October 31, 2013, provided sales of $18.9 million during the November through December 2013 period, and organic sales increased by $21.8 million, or 4.0%, during 2013. Organic growth resulted from increased global automotive production and strengthening within the geographic markets into which the Company sells. The impact of foreign currency translation increased sales by approximately $0.1 million as the U.S. dollar weakened against foreign currencies.
Operating profit in 2013 at Industrial was $71.9 million, an increase of 46.0% from 2012. Operating profit primarily benefited from the profit contributions of the acquired Synventive and Männer businesses, the profit contribution of increased organic sales, favorable pricing and improved productivity. Operating income during 2012 included $5.9 million of short-term
purchase accounting adjustments and transaction costs resulting from the acquisition of Synventive. During 2013, operating profit results were partially offset by $7.3 million in short-term purchase accounting adjustments and transaction costs related to the acquisition of the Männer Business during the fourth quarter and CEO transition costs of $6.6 million that were allocated to the segment during the first quarter.
Outlook:
In the Industrial manufacturing businesses, management is focused on generating organic sales growth by leveraging the benefits of the diversified products and industrial end-markets in which its businesses have a global presence and introducing new products. The Company also remains focused on sales growth through acquisition and expanding geographic reach. The Synventive acquisition in 2012, for example, added new innovative products and services and has expanded the Company's global marketplace presence. The Company completed the acquisition of the Männer Business on October 31, 2013. The Männer Business also operates within the Company's Industrial segment and is expected to further provide additional differentiated products and services through the manufacture of high precision molds, valve gate hot runner systems, and system solutions for the medical/pharmaceutical, packaging, and personal care/health care industries. Our ability to generate sales growth in the global markets served by all of our businesses is subject to economic conditions. Order activity in certain end-markets, including transportation, may provide extended sales growth. Strategic investments in new technologies, manufacturing processes and product development are expected to provide incremental benefits in the long term.
Operating profit is largely dependent on the sales volumes and mix within all businesses of the segment. Management continues to focus on improving profitability through leveraging organic sales growth, acquisitions, pricing initiatives, productivity and process improvements. Costs associated with increases in new product introductions, strategic investments and the integration of acquisitions may negatively impact operating profit.
2012 vs. 2011:
Sales at Industrial were $538.3 million in 2012, an increase of 11.5% from 2011. The acquisition of Synventive provided $60.0 million of sales and organic sales increased by $9.6 million during 2012. The impact of foreign currency translation decreased sales by approximately $13.9 million as the U.S. dollar strengthened against foreign currencies.
Operating profit in 2012 at Industrial was $49.3 million, an increase of 7.4% from 2011. Operating profit benefited primarily from the profit contribution of the acquired Synventive business. Operating profit results were partially offset by $5.9 million in short-term purchase accounting adjustments and transaction costs related to the Synventive acquisition.

2013 vs. 2012:
Aerospace recorded sales of $404.0 million in 2013, a 3.5% increase from 2012. A sales increase in the OEM business was partially offset by lower sales in the aftermarket business and unfavorable pricing across the segment. Within aftermarket, sales declined in both the repair and overhaul business and the spare parts business. Increased sales within the OEM business reflected strengthened demand for new engines, driven by increased aircraft production whereas a decline in sales within the aftermarket business was driven by an unfavorable trend of deferred maintenance.
Operating profit at Aerospace decreased 11.3% from 2012 to $51.3 million. The operating profit benefits of increased sales in the OEM business and lower employee related costs, primarily due to incentive compensation as a result of the level of the Company's pre-established annual performance targets, were more than offset by a third quarter $8.6 million pre-tax inventory valuation charge related to a specific family of spare parts within the repair and overhaul business, the profit impact of lower sales in the aftermarket businesses, increased costs of new product introductions within the OEM and MRO businesses and CEO transition costs of $3.9 million allocated to the segment during the first quarter of 2013. In assessing inventory valuation for the specific family of spare parts used to support its MRO business, management takes into consideration the required level of exchange inventory to meet customer needs, current market pricing and demand, which depend on the frequency and scope of repair and maintenance of aircraft engines, the number and age of engines in the installed fleet and the
various market channels. During the third quarter, after consideration of the Company’s plans to effectively access various markets in the near term, the Company recorded the valuation charge to reduce the carrying value of the inventory to its estimated net realizable value to reflect current market pricing in readily accessible channels.
Outlook:
Sales in the Aerospace OEM business are based on the general state of the aerospace market driven by the worldwide economy and are driven by its order backlog through its participation in certain strategic commercial and military engine and airframe programs. Backlog in the Aerospace OEM business grew to $549.1 million at December 31, 2013 from $540.8 million at December 31, 2012, with approximately 59% expected to be shipped in the next 12 months. The Aerospace OEM business may be impacted by adjustments of customer inventory levels, commodity availability and pricing, changes in the content levels on certain platforms, including insourcing, changes in production schedules of specific engine and airframe programs, as well as the pursuit of new programs. Sales levels in the Aerospace aftermarket repair and overhaul business are expected to be impacted by fluctuations in end-market demand and changes in customer insourcing. Incremental management fees within the aftermarket RSP spare parts business are dependent on future sales volumes and are treated as a reduction to sales. Management fees increase once during the life of each individual program, generally in the fourth or later years of each program and as of December 31, 2013 most of the management fee increases had taken effect. Management continues to believe its Aerospace aftermarket business is competitively positioned based on well-established long-term customer relationships, including maintenance and repair contracts in the repair and overhaul business and long-term RSP and CRP programs, expanded capabilities and current capacity levels.
Management is focused on growing operating profit at Aerospace primarily through organic sales growth, productivity initiatives, new product introductions and continued cost management. Operating profit is expected to be affected by the profit impact of changes in sales volume, mix and pricing, particularly as it relates to the highly profitable aftermarket RSP spare parts business, and investments made in each of its businesses. Management actively manages commodity price increases through pricing actions and other productivity initiatives. Costs associated with increases in new product introductions and the physical transfer of work to lower cost manufacturing regions may also negatively impact operating profit.
2012 vs. 2011:
Aerospace recorded sales of $390.5 million in 2012, a 2.1% increase from 2011, primarily as a result of growth in the OEM manufacturing and aftermarket repair and overhaul businesses. This growth was partially offset by a decline in sales within the aftermarket RSP spare parts business.
Operating profit at Aerospace increased 1.0%3.8% from 2011 to $63.357.9 million. Operating profit benefited from higher sales in the OEM manufacturing business and lower levels of incentive compensation.compensation, which decreased in 2012 as compared to 2011 as a result of the level of achievement of the Company's pre-established 2012 performance targets. Operating profit was negatively affected by the profit impact of lower sales in the highly profitable aftermarket RSP spare parts business and an inventory valuation adjustment within the aftermarket repair and overhaul business.
Outlook:
Sales in the Aerospace OEM business are impacted by the general state of the aerospace market driven by the worldwide economy and are driven by its order backlog through its participation in certain strategic commercial and military engine and airframe programs. Backlog in this business grew to $540.8 million at December 31, 2012 from $469.3 million at December 31, 2011, with more than 50% of this backlog expected to be shipped in the next 12 months. The aerospace OEM business may be impacted by adjustments of customer inventory levels, commodity availability and pricing, changes in the content levels on certain platforms including insourcing, changes in production schedules of specific engine and airframe programs, as well as the pursuit of new programs. Sales levels in the aerospace aftermarket repair and overhaul business are expected to reflect long-term trends towards improving maintenance, repair and overhaul activity, but may be negatively impacted by short-term fluctuations in demand. Incremental management fees within the aftermarket RSP spare parts business are dependent on future sales volumes and are treated as a reduction to sales. Management fees increase once during the life of each individual program, generally in the fourth or later years of each program. Management continues to believe its aerospace aftermarket business is competitively positioned based on strong customer relationships including long-term RSP agreements and long-term maintenance and repair contracts in the repair and overhaul business, expanded capabilities and current capacity levels.
Management is focused on growing operating profit at Aerospace primarily through organic sales growth, productivity initiatives, new product introductions and continued cost management.

Management actively manages commodity price increases through pricing actions and other productivity initiatives. Costs associated with increases in new product introductions may also negatively impact operating profit.
2011 vs. 2010:
Aerospace recorded sales of $382.5 million in 2011, a 14.5% increase from 2010, with both the aftermarket and OEM businesses experiencing sales growth. The aerospace aftermarket business benefited from increased levels of overhaul and repair activity during 2011. A significant growth in sales contrasted the trend of deferred maintenance throughout 2010.
Operating profit at Aerospace increased 19.5% from 2010 to $62.6 million. This increase was driven primarily by the profit impact of higher sales volumes, partially offset by incremental management fees related to the aerospace aftermarket RSP spare parts business which increase once during the life of the program, generally in the fourth or later years of each program. Employee related costs also increased during 2011, primarily due to higher levels of incentive compensation, which increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 as a result of the level of achievement of the Company's pre-established 2011 performance targets.

The impact of foreign currency translation decreased sales by approximately $13.4 million as the U.S. dollar strengthened against foreign currencies.
Operating profit in 2012 at Industrial was $43.9 million, an increase of 12.3% from 2011. Operating profit benefited primarily from the profit contribution of the acquired Synventive business. Operating profit results were partially offset by $5.9 million in short-term purchase accounting adjustments and transaction costs related to the Synventive acquisition.
Outlook:
In the Industrial manufacturing businesses, management is focused on generating organic sales growth by leveraging the benefits of the diversified products and industrial end-markets in which its businesses have a global presence and introducing new products. The Company also remains focused on sales growth through acquisition. The Synventive acquisition, for example, enhances the Company's core manufacturing capabilities, adds innovative products and services and is expected to expand the Company's global marketplace presence into geographic regions and end-markets where it had limited access. Our ability to generate sales growth in the global markets served by these businesses is subject to economic conditions. Order activity in certain end-markets, including transportation, may provide extended sales growth. Strategic investments are expected to provide incremental benefits in the long term.

2011 vs. 2010:
Sales at Industrial were $440.5 million in 2011, an increase of 17.8% from 2010. Organic sales increases of $49.7 million resulted mainly from increases in North America and Europe and from improvements in the transportation industry, including automotive. The impact of foreign currency translation increased sales by approximately $16.7 million in 2011.
Operating profit in 2011 at Industrial was $39.1 million compared to $29.4 million in 2010, primarily due to the profit impact of higher sales levels in 2011 combined with productivity improvements and lean initiatives. Operating profit increases were partially offset by higher costs associated with investments in new product introductions and the outsourcing of certain manufacturing processes.

This increase was driven by lower employee related costs, primarily due to incentive compensation which decreased in 2012 as compared to 2011 as a result of the level of achievement of the Company's pre-established 2012 performance targets, customer mix and lower cost structures, partially offset by higher pension costs and the profit impact of lower sales volumes.
Outlook:
Organic sales levels in the Distribution segment are largely dependent upon the economy in the regions served, the retention of its customers and continuation of existing sales volumes to such customers, and the effectiveness and size of its sales force. Both near-term and long-term economic conditions remain uncertain as customers within our Distribution businesses continue to manage costs and inventory levels. Management continues to focus on profitable sales mix and believes future sales growth may result from improvements in economic and end-market conditions, pricing initiatives, and investments in market penetration activities and sales force productivity initiatives.
Management is focused on growing operating profit at Distribution primarily through leveraging organic sales growth, productivity initiatives and continued cost management. Operating profit is expected to be affected by the profit impact of the changes in sales volume and sales mix. Management actively manages supplier price increases through pricing actions and other productivity initiatives.
2011 vs. 2010:
Distribution recorded sales of $355.3 million in 2011, a 7.8% increase from 2010. Organic sales improved by $22.6 million, while the impact of foreign currency translation increased sales by approximately $3.2 million as the U.S. dollar weakened against foreign currencies. Sales growth occurred primarily in the North American businesses as the industrial and transportation end-markets showed improvements throughout 2011.
Operating profit at Distribution increased to $25.8 million from $4.6 million in 2010. This increase was primarily driven by the profit impact of higher sales volumes. Productivity improvements, including the favorable impact of lower cost structures in the North American business, also contributed to the increase in operating profit. Operating profit increases were partially offset by higher levels of incentive compensation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management assesses the Company's liquidity in terms of its overall ability to generate cash to fund its operating and investing activities. Of particular importance in the management of liquidity are cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditure levels, dividends, capital stock transactions, effective utilization of surplus cash positions overseas and adequate lines of credit.
The Company's ability to generate cash from operations in excess of its internal operating needs is one of its financial strengths. Management continues to focus on cash flow and working capital management, and anticipates that operating activities in 20132014 will generate sufficient cash. The Company closely monitors its cash generation, usage and preservation including the management of working capital to generate cash.

Euro-denominated borrowings are subject to foreign currency translation adjustments that are included within accumulated other non-owner changes to equity. The Company may exercise the accordion feature upon request to the Administrative Agent as long as an event of default has not occurred or is continuing. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement continue to bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.10% to 1.70%.

The impact of this PBO increase was partially offset by an increase inAt December 31, 2013, the fair valuetotal unfunded status of the plan assets.defined benefit pension plans was $0.1 million. The Company recorded a $15.7$73.2 million non-cash after-tax decreaseincrease in stockholders' equity (through other non-owner changes to equity) to record the current adjustmentyear adjustments for changes in the funded status of its pension and postretirement benefit plans as required under the applicable accounting standards for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.

OTHER MATTERS
Inflation
Inflation generally affects the Company through its costs of labor, equipment and raw materials. Increases in the costs of these items have historically been offset by price increases, commodity price escalator provisions, operating improvements, and other cost-saving initiatives.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The most significant areas involving management judgments and estimates are described below. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Inventory Valuation: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable value. Loss provisions, if any, on aerospace contracts are established when estimable. Loss provisions are based on the projected excess of manufacturing costs over the net revenues of the products or group of related products under contract.contract or purchase order. The Company carries a certain amount of inventory which is industry-specific including spareincludes certain parts forrelated to specific engines within the aerospace market.aftermarket repair and overhaul business. The process for evaluating the value of excess and obsolete inventory often requires the Company to make subjective judgments and estimates concerning future sales levels, access to applicable markets, quantities and prices at which such inventory will be sold in the normal course of business. Accelerating the disposal process or incorrect estimates of future sales potential may necessitate future adjustments to these provisions.
Business Acquisitions, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Goodwill: Assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. At December 31, 20122013, the Company had $579.9649.7 million of goodwill, representing the cost of acquisitions in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to impairment testing annually or earlier if an
event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit may have been reduced below its carrying value. Management completes its annual impairment assessmentassessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the second quarterand third quarters of each year.year, respectively. The Company uses the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative impairment tests in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.
TheUnder the qualitative goodwill assessment, of goodwill involvesmanagement considers relevant events and circumstances including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall unit performance and events directly affecting a unit. If the estimation ofCompany determines that the fair value of reporting units. The Company has determined that its reporting units are businesses with discrete financial information reviewed by segmenttwo-step quantitative impairment test is required, management one level below the operating segment level and which are aggregated when those components have similar economic characteristics. Management estimates the fair value of eachthe reporting unit primarily using the income approach, which reflects management’s cash flow projections, and also evaluates the fair value using athe market approach. These methodologies used in the current year are consistent with those used in the prior year. Management believes the cash flow projections utilized and/or market multiples are reasonable and consistent with the expectations of market participants. Inherent in management’s development of cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates, including those related to future earnings and growth and the weighted average cost of capital. Based on the second quarter 2013 assessment, the estimated fair value of the Synventive reporting unit, which was acquired in August 2012, exceeded its carrying value and the estimated fair value of the remaining reporting units significantly exceeded their carrying values. There was no goodwill impairment at any reporting units in 2013. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods as a result of both Company-specific and overall economic conditions. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in the global economy and local economies, industries and markets in which the Company sells products or services, and the execution of management’s plans. There can be no assurance that future events will not result in impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets.
InManagement’s quantitative assessment during the second quarter of 2012, management performed its annual impairment testing based on the information available as2013 included a review of the datepotential impacts of current and projected market conditions from a market participant’s perspective on reporting units’ projected cash flows, growth rates and cost of capital to assess the assessment. Based on this assessment, there was no goodwill impairment and the fair valueslikelihood of each of the Company’s reporting units were substantially in excess of their carrying values. The Company determined during the fourth quarter of 2012 that the estimated fair value of its Heinz Hänggi reporting unit, which is part of the Industrial segment and has approximately $102 million of goodwill, decreased from the second quarter of 2012 due in part to declining economic conditions in Europe. The estimated fair value as a percentage of carrying value approximated 111%, as suchwhether the fair value ofwould be less than the reporting unit did not significantly exceed its carrying value. Revenue and operating income growth assumptions and the risk-adjusted discount rate, which represents the weighted-average cost of capital, have the most significant influence on the estimation of the fair value at this reporting unit.
Under the income approach, revenue and operating income growth rate assumptions were used to estimate cash flows in future periods. Growth rates were based on current levels of backlog, the retention of existing customers and the ability to attain new customers through new product introductions. If operating profit growth assumptions for our Heinz Hänggi reporting unit decline by approximately 10% per annum, the reporting unit may not pass step one and step two could result in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge. Management utilized a discount rate of 11.5% to estimate the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate was based upon a build-up of market data from similar companies and reflected uncertainty related to the Company's ability to achieve its forecasted results. Holding all other assumptions constant, an increase in the rate used to discount the expected future cash flows of approximately 100 basis points would reduce the fair value such that the reporting unit would not pass step one, and step two could result in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge. The factors that affect the level of estimated cash flows within this reporting unit include, but are not limited to: 1) declines in our market share and customer demand assumptions based on our competition, 2) our ability to successfully launch new product introductions, 3) delays in orders placed by existing customers, 4) the ongoing impacts of the European economic environment, including potential declines in pricing, reductions in volume or fluctuations in exchange rates within the regions served by Heinz Hänggi and 5) increases to the risk-adjusted weighted-average cost of capital.
Management's judgment and assumptions are required in performing the impairment tests for all reporting units with goodwill. While management expects future operating improvements at certain reporting
units to result from improving end-market conditions, new product introductions and further market penetration, there can be no assurance that such expectations will be met or that the fair value of the reporting unitunits will continue to exceed itstheir carrying value.values. If itsthe fair valuevalues were to fall below itsthe carrying value,values, a non-cash impairment charge to income from operations could result.
Management also performed its annual impairment testing of its Synventive trade name, an indefinite-lived intangible asset, during the third quarter of 2013. There was no trade name impairment recognized in 2013.
Revenue SharingAerospace Aftermarket Programs: The Company participates in aftermarket RSPs under which the Company receives an exclusive right to supply designated aftermarket parts over the life of the related aircraft engine program. As consideration, the Company has paid participation fees, which are recorded as long-lived intangible assets, and are recognized as a reduction of sales over the estimated useful life of the related engine programs which range up to 30 years.assets. The carrying value of these intangible assets is $239.1229.5 million at December 31, 2012.2013. The Company records amortization of the related long-lived intangible asset as sales dollars are being earned based on a proportional sales dollar method. Specifically, this method amortizes each intangible asset as a reduction to revenue based on the proportion of sales under a program in a given period to the estimated aggregate sales dollars over the life of that program. This methodprogram which reflects the pattern in which economic benefits are realized.
The Company also entered into a CRP that provides for, among other items, the extension of contracts under which the Company currently provides certain aftermarket component repair services for the CF6 and LM engine programs and the right to sell these services directly to other customers as one of a few General Electric licensed suppliers. The Company has recorded the $26.6 million as consideration for these rights as an intangible asset that will be amortized as a reduction to sales over the remaining life of these engine programs. This method reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the CRP are realized.
The recoverability of each intangible asset is subject to significant estimates about future revenues related to the program’s aftermarket parts.parts and services. The Company evaluates these intangible assets for impairmentrecoverability and updates amortization rates on
an agreement by agreement basis.basis for the RSP's and on an individual asset basis for the CRP. The intangible assets are reviewed for impairmentrecoverability periodically including whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Annually, the Company evaluates the remaining useful life of these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Management updates revenue projections, which includes comparing actual experience against projected revenue and industry projections. The potential exists that actual revenues will not meet expectations due to a change in market conditions.conditions, including, for example, the replacement of older engines with new, more fuel-efficient engines or the Company's ability to capture additional market share within the aftermarket business. A shortfall in future revenues may indicate a triggering event requiring an impairment testa write down or further evaluation of the intangible assetrecoverability of the assets or require the Company to accelerate amortization expense prospectively dependent on the level of the shortfall. The Company has not identified any impairment of these intangible assets. See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits: Accounting policies and significant assumptions related to pension and other postretirement benefits are disclosed in Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

| (1) | Historical returns based on the life of the respective index, approximately 30 years. |
The historical rates of return were calculated based upon compounded average rates of return of published indices. The 25% aggregate target for fixed income and cash investments (in aggregate) is lower than the fixed income and cash component of a typical pension trust. The fixed income investments include a higher-than-average component of yield-aggressive investments, including high-yield corporate bonds. Based on the overall historical and projected rates of return of the targeted asset mix, management is using the long-term rate of return on its U.S. pension assets of 9.0%. The long-term rates of return for non-U.S. plans were selected based on actual historical rates of return of published indices that were used to measure the plans’ target asset allocations. Historical rates were then discounted to consider fluctuations in the historical rates as well as potential changes in the investment environment.
The discount rate used for the Company’s U.S. pension plans reflects the rate at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. At December 31, 20122013, the Company selected a discount rate of 4.25%5.20% based on a bond matching model for its U.S. pension plans. Market interest rates have decreasedincreased in 20122013 as compared with 20112012 and, as a result, the discount rate used to measure pension liabilities decreasedincreased from 5.05%4.25% at December 31, 2011.2012. The discount rates for non-U.S. plans were selected based on bond matching models or on indices of high-quality bonds using criteria applicable to the respective countries.
A one-quarter percentage point change in the assumed long-term rate of return on the Company’s U.S. pension plans as of December 31, 20122013 would impact the Company’s 20132014 pre-tax income by approximately $0.9 million annually. A one-quarter percentage point decrease in the discount rate on the Company's U.S. pension plans as of December 31, 20122013 would decrease the Company’s 20132014 pre-tax income by approximately $1.4$1.2 million annually. The Company reviews these and other assumptions at least annually.
The Company recorded a $15.7$73.2 million non-cash after-tax decreaseincrease in stockholders equity (through other non-owner changes to equity) to record the current year adjustmentadjustments for changes in the funded status of its pension and postretirement benefit plans as required under accounting for defined benefit and other postretirement plans. This decreaseincrease in stockholders
equity resulted primarily from losses related to changes in actuarial assumptions, offset in part by favorable variances between expected and actual returns on pension plan assets.assets combined with gains related to changes in actuarial assumptions. During 20122013, the fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets increased by $47.2$66.0 million and the projected benefit obligation increased $54.9decreased $42.6 million. The change in the projected benefit obligation included a $48.0$40.7 million (pre-tax) increasedecrease due to actuarial lossesgains that resulted primarily from the reductionincrease to the discount rate used to measure pension liabilities. Changes to other actuarial assumptions in 2012, including mortality and inflation rates,2013 did not have a material impact on our stockholders equity or projected benefit obligation. The performance of the pension plan assets improved in 2012, partially offsetting the impact of the lower discount rate. Actual pre-tax return on total pension plan assets was $46.9$81.0 million compared with an expected pre-tax return on pension assets of $32.8$33.1 million. Approximately $2.1$6.6 million and $2.6$6.8 million of pension plan asset increases and projected benefit obligation increases, respectively, relate to the transfer of the defined benefit pension plan of the acquired Synventive business.Männer Business. Pension expense for 20132014 is expected to increasedecrease from $12.1 million in 2013, of which $2.6 million is in discontinued operations to approximately $11.9$1.8 million an increase of $3.6 million from 2012,in 2014, primarily as a result of an increasedecrease in the amortization of actuarial losses from previous asset performance, lower service expense following the sale of BDNA and the transfer of respective plan participants, and changes in certain actuarial assumptions, primarily a lowerhigher discount rate. The 2013 expense estimate does not include potential future settlement costs.
Income Taxes: As of December 31, 20122013, the Company had recognized $63.920.5 million of deferred tax assets, net of valuation reserves, principally in the United States.reserves. The realization of these benefits is dependent in part on the amount and timing of future taxable income in the jurisdictions where deferred tax assets reside. For those jurisdictions where the expiration date of tax loss carryforwards or the projected operating results indicate that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is provided. Management believes that sufficient taxable income should be earned in the future to realize deferred income tax assets, net of valuation allowances recorded.
The United States deferred tax assets include significant tax operating loss carryforwards. If it became more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would expire unused, the Company would record a valuation allowance to reflect this fact. The Company is not in a cumulative loss position in the U.S. over the last three years (defined as pre-tax book income plus permanent tax items) and does not currently project to be in a cumulative loss position through 2013. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires significant judgment. Management’s assessment that these deferred tax assets will be realized represents its estimate of future results; however, there can be no assurance that such expectations will be met. Changes in management’s assessment of achieving sufficient future taxable income could materially increase the Company’s tax expense and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management plans to continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in the future.
Additionally, the Company is exposed to certain tax contingencies in the ordinary course of business and, accordingly, records those tax liabilities in accordance with the guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. For those income tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. See Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value on the grant date and recognizes the related cost in its consolidated statement of income in accordance with accounting standards related to share-based payments. The fair values of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on certain assumptions. The fair values of service and performance based share awards are estimated based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The fair value of market based performance share awards are estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Changes

EBITDA
Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for 20122013 was $188.1$504.7 million compared to $160.4188.1 million in 20112012. EBITDA is a measurement not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company defines EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization which the Company incurs in the normal course of business.business and in 2013 includes a pre-tax gain of $313.7 million on the sale of BDNA. The Company does not intend EBITDA to represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider it as an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. The Company’s definition of EBITDA may not be comparable with EBITDA as defined by other companies. The Company believes EBITDA is commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in which the Company operates and, thus, provides useful information to investors. Accordingly, the calculation has limitations depending on its use.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the potential economic loss that may result from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. The Company’s financial results could be impacted by changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity price changes. The Company uses financial instruments to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company’s long-term debt portfolio consists of fixed-rate and variable-rate instruments and is managed to reduce the overall cost of borrowing while also minimizing the effect of changes in interest rates on near-term earnings. The Company’s primary interest rate risk is derived from its outstanding variable-rate debt obligations. Financial instruments have been used by the Company to hedge its exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company previously had two, three-year interest rate swap agreements which together converted the interest on the first $100.0 million of the Company's one-month LIBOR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 2.947% plus the borrowing spread and were accounted for as cash flow hedges. These agreements matured in the first quarter of 2011. In April 2012, the Company entered into five-year interest rate swap agreements transacted with three banks which together convert the interest on the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.03% plus the borrowing spread for the purpose of mitigating its exposure to variable interest rates. At December 31, 20122013, the result of a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the average cost of the Company’s variable-rate debt would have reduced annual pretax profit by $4.33.8 million.
At December 31, 20122013, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt was $59.180.4 million, compared with its carrying amount of $56.759.2 million. The Company estimates that a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates at December 31, 20122013 would have increasednot materially impact the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt to $59.6 million.debt.
The Company has manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities around the world and thus makes investments and conducts business transactions denominated in various currencies. The currencies of the locations where the Company’s business operations are conducted include the U.S. dollar, Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Euro, Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen, Korean won, Mexican peso, Singapore dollar, Swedish kroner, Swiss franc and Thai baht. The Company is exposed primarily to financial instruments denominated in currencies other than the functional currency at its international locations. A 10% adverse change in all currencies at December 31, 20122013 would have resulted in a $0.1$0.2 million loss in the fair value of those financial instruments. At December 31, 20122013, the Company held $86.470.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and €5.1 million ($6.7 million)($7.0 million) of restricted cash held in escrow, substantially allthe majority of which is held by foreign subsidiaries. This escrow includes cash proceeds from the sale of the BDE business, that was received in 2011, the majority of which was not in the local functional currency. The Company maintained forward currency contracts at December 31, 20122013 to reduce the foreign currency exposure related to the proceeds.
Foreign currency commitments and transaction exposures are managed at the operating units as an integral part of their businesses in accordance with a corporate policy that addresses acceptable levels of foreign currency exposures. At December 31, 20122013, the Company did not hedge its foreign currency net investment exposures.
Additionally, to reduce foreign currency exposure, management generally maintains the majority of foreign cash and short-term investments in functional currency and uses forward currency contracts for non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and anticipated transactions in an effort to reduce the effect of the volatility of changes in foreign exchange rates on the income statement. In historically weaker currency countries, such as Brazil and Mexico, management assesses the strength of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and may elect during periods of local currency weakness to invest excess cash in U.S. dollar-denominated instruments.
The Company’s exposure to commodity price changes relates to certain manufacturing operations that utilize high-grade steel spring wire, stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, Hastelloys and other specialty metals and the distribution operations which distribute products made of steel, copper and brass.metals. The Company attempts to manage its exposure to price increases through its procurement and sales practices.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All dollar amounts included in the notes are stated in thousands except per share data
and the tables in Note 18)19)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General: The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company realigned its organizational structure by aligning its strategic business units into three reportable business segments: Aerospace, Industrial and Distribution. All previously reported financial information has been adjusted on a retrospective basis to reflect the segment realignment for all years presented.
Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.
During In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company and two of its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the "Purchaser") completed the acquisition of the Männer Business (defined below) pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase and Assignment Agreement dated September 30, 2013 ("Share Purchase Agreement") among the Purchaser, Otto Männer Holding AG, a German company based in Bahlingen, Germany (the "Seller"), and the three shareholders of the Seller ("the Männer Business”). The acquisition is being integrated into the Industrial segment. The results of the Männer Business, from the date of the acquisition on October 31, 2013, are included within the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed the sale of its Barnes Distribution North America business (“BDNA”) to MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. ("MSC"). The results of these operations are segregated and presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company realigned its organizational structure by aligning its strategic business units into two reportable segments: Industrial and Aerospace. See Note 19.
In the third quarter of 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of Synventive Molding Solutions ("Synventive”). The acquisition has been integrated into the Industrial segment. The results of Synventive, from the date of the acquisition on August 27, 2012, are included within the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company completed the sale of its Barnes Distribution Europe businesses (the "BDE" business). The BDE business was comprised of the Company's European KENT, Toolcom and BD France distribution businesses that were reported within the Company's former Distribution segment (formerly referred to as the Logistics and Manufacturing Services segment at the time of sale). The results of these operations are segregated and presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
All previously reported financial information has been adjusted on a retrospective basis to reflect the discontinued operations of BDNA and the BDE business and the segment realignment for all years presented.
Revenue recognition: Sales and related cost of sales are recognized when products are shipped or delivered to customers depending upon when title and risk of loss have passed. Service revenue is recognized when the related services are performed. In the aerospace manufacturing businesses, the Company recognizes revenue based on the units-of-delivery method in accordance with accounting standards related to accounting for performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts. Management fees related to the aerospace aftermarket Revenue Sharing Programs ("RSPs") are satisfied through an agreed upon reduction from the sales price of each of the related spare parts. These fees recognize our customer's necessary performance of engine program support activities, such as spare parts administration, warehousing and inventory management, and customer support, and are not separable from our sale of products, and accordingly, they are reflected as a reduction to sales, rather than as costs incurred, when revenues are recognized.
Operating expenses: The Company includes manufacturing labor, material, manufacturing overhead and costs of its distribution network within cost of sales. Other costs, including selling personnel costs and commissions, and other general and administrative costs of the Company are included within selling and administrative expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense is allocated between cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses.
BARNES GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments. All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Loss provisions, if any, on aerospace contracts are established when estimable. Loss provisions are based on the projected excess of manufacturing costs over the net revenues of the products or group of related products under contract.contract or purchase order.
Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded over estimated useful lives, ranging from 20 to 50 years for buildings, three to five years for computer equipment, four to 12 years for
BARNES GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
machinery and equipment and 12 to 17 years for furnaces and boilers. The straight-line method of depreciation was adopted for all property, plant and equipment placed in service after March 31, 1999. For property, plant and equipment placed into service prior to April 1, 1999, depreciation is calculated using accelerated methods. The Company assesses the impairment of property, plant and equipment subject to depreciation whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess purchase cost over the fair value of net assets of companies acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is considered an indefinite-lived asset. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing in accordance with accounting standards governing such on an annual basis, in the second quarter, or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit has been reduced below its carrying value. Based on the assessments performed during 2012,2013, there was no goodwill impairment.
Revenue Sharing Programs (RSPs):Aerospace Aftermarket Programs: The Company through its aerospace aftermarket business, participates in aftermarket RSPs under which the Company receives an exclusive right to supply designated aftermarket parts over the life of the related aircraft engine program. As consideration, the Company has paid participation fees, which are recorded as long-lived intangible assets, and are recognized as a reduction of sales over the estimated useful life of the related engine programs which range up to 30 years.assets. The Company records amortization of the related long-lived intangible asset as sales dollars are being earned based on a proportional sales dollar method. Specifically, this method amortizes each intangible asset as a reduction to revenue based on the proportion of sales under a program in a given period to the estimated aggregate sales dollars over the life of that program.
The Company also entered into a Component Repair Program ("CRP") that provides for, among other items, the extension of contracts under which the Company currently provides certain aftermarket component repair services for the CF6 and LM engine programs and the right to sell these services directly to other customers as one of a few General Electric licensed suppliers. The Company has recorded the consideration for these rights ("CRP Payment") as an intangible asset that will be amortized as a reduction to sales over the remaining life of these engine programs. This method reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the RSPs and the CRP are realized.
The recoverability of each intangible asset is subject to significant estimates about future revenues related to the program’s aftermarket parts.parts and services. The Company evaluates these intangible assets for impairmentrecoverability and updates amortization rates on an agreement by agreement basis.basis for the RSP's and on an individual asset basis for the CRP. The intangible assets are reviewed for impairmentrecoverability periodically including whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Annually, the Company evaluates the remaining useful life of these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Management updates revenue projections, which includes comparing actual experience against projected revenue and industry projections. The potential exists that actual revenues will not meet expectations due to a change in market conditions.conditions including, for example, the replacement of older engines with new, more fuel-efficient engines or the Company's ability to capture additional market share within the Aftermarket business. A shortfall in future revenues may indicate a triggering event requiring an impairment testa write down or further evaluation of the intangible assetrecoverability of the assets or require the Company to accelerate amortization expense prospectively dependent on the level of the shortfall. The Company has not identified any impairment of these intangible assets.
Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets consist primarily of the participation fees related to the aftermarket RSP's,Aerospace Aftermarket Programs, as discussed above, customer relationships, tradenames, patents and proprietary technology. A majorityThese intangible assets, with the exception of these intangible assetstradenames, have finite lives and are amortized over the periods in which they provide benefit. The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization, and indefinite-lived intangibles, whenever significant events or significant changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Tradenames, intangible assets with indefinite lives, are subject to impairment testing in accordance with accounting standards governing such on an annual basis, in the third quarter, or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit has
BARNES GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
been reduced below its carrying value. Based on the assessment performed during 2013, there were no impairments of other intangible assets. See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Derivatives: Accounting standards related to the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Foreign currency contracts may qualify as fair value hedges of unrecognized firm commitments, cash flow hedges of recognized assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions, or a hedge of a net investment. Changes in the fair market value of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges are recorded directly to earnings or accumulated other non-owner changes to equity, depending on the designation. Amounts recorded to accumulated other non-owner changes to equity are reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the earnings impact of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion, or amounts related to contracts that are not designated as hedges, are recorded directly to earnings. The Company’s policy for classifying cash flows from derivatives is to report the cash flows consistent with the underlying hedged item.
Foreign currency: Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange; revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange. The resulting translation gains or losses are reflected in accumulated other non-owner changes to equity within stockholders’ equity. NetA net foreign currency transaction gain of $945 in 2013, and losses of $2,144, and $224 in 2012and $1,6702011, respectively, were included in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of income in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.Income.

In September 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the "Credit"Amended Credit Agreement" or "Credit"Amended Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. as the administrative agent. The Amended Credit Agreement increased the borrowing availability of the Amended Credit Facility from $400,000 to $500,000 and extended the expiration date of the Amended Credit Facility by four years from September 2012 to September 2016. In July 2012, the Company executed a $250,000 accordion feature that was available under the Amended Credit Agreement increasing the available amount under the Amended Credit Facility to $750,000. In September 2013, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to its revolving credit agreement ("Second Amendment") and retained Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent for the lenders. The Second Amendment extends the maturity date of the debt facility by two years from September 2016 to September 2018 and includes an option to extend the maturity date for an additional year, subject to certain conditions. The Second Amendment also adds a new foreign subsidiary borrower in Germany, Barnes Group Acquisition GmbH, maintains the borrowing availability of the Company at $750,000 and adds an accordion feature to increase this amount to $1,000,000. The Company may exercise the accordion feature upon request to the Administrative Agent as long as an event of default has not occurred or is continuing. The borrowing availability of $750,000, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, allows for Euro-denominated borrowings equivalent to $500,000. Euro-denominated borrowings are subject to foreign currency translation adjustments that are included within accumulated other non-owner changes to equity. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement continue to bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.10% to 1.70% depending on the Company's leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. The Company paid fees and expenses of $1,030$1,261, $1,030 and $2,012$2,012 in conjunction with executing the Second Amendment in 2013, the execution of the accordion feature in 2012 and the refinancing of the Amended Credit Agreement in 2011, respectively. Such fees will be deferred and amortized into interest expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income through the maturity date of the Credit Agreement.its maturity.

In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt, as defined, in the Credit Agreement, to Consolidated EBITDA of not more than 4.00 times for each fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2013, and thereafter of not more than 3.75 times at the end of anyeach fiscal quarter, and a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, as defined, in the Credit Agreement, of not less than 4.25 times for each fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2013, and thereafter of not less than 4.50 times at the end of anyeach fiscal quarter. The Second Amendment also provides that in connection with certain permitted acquisitions with aggregate consideration in excess of $150,000, the Consolidated Senior Debt to EBITDA ratio and the Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDA ratio are permitted to increase to 3.50 times and 4.25 times, respectively, for a period of the four fiscal quarters ending after the closing of the acquisition.

9. Derivatives
The Company has manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities around the world and thus makes investments and conducts business transactions denominated in various currencies. The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and commodity price changes. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as an integral part of its risk management program.
Financial instruments have been used by the Company to hedge its exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company previously had two, three-year interest rate swap agreements which together converted the interest on the first $100,000 of the Company's one-month LIBOR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 2.947% plus the borrowing spread and were accounted for as cash flow hedges. These agreements matured in the first

In April 2012, the Company entered into five-year interest rate swap agreements transacted with three banks which together convert the interest on the first $100,000 of the Company's one-month LIBOR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.03% plus the borrowing spread. These interest rate swap agreements were accounted for as cash flow hedges and remained in place at December 31, 2012.2013.
The Company also uses financial instruments to hedge its exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has various contracts outstanding which primarily hedge recognized assets or liabilities and anticipated transactions in various currencies including the British pound sterling, U.S. dollar, Euro, Singapore dollar, Swedish kroner and

10. Fair Value Measurements
The provisions of the accounting standard for fair value define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
|
| | |
| | Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, are:
| | | | | 2012 | | 2011 | | 2013 | | 2012 |
| U.S. plans: | | | | | | | | |
| Discount rate | | 4.25 | % | | 5.05 | % | | 5.20 | % | | 4.25 | % |
| Increase in compensation | | 3.71 | % | | 3.71 | % | | 3.72 | % | | 3.71 | % |
| Non-U.S. plans: | | | | | | | | |
| Discount rate | | 3.73 | % | | 4.46 | % | | 3.93 | % | | 3.73 | % |
| Increase in compensation | | 2.69 | % | | 2.76 | % | | 2.76 | % | | 2.69 | % |
The investment strategy of the plans is to generate a consistent total investment return sufficient to pay present and future plan benefits to retirees, while minimizing the long-term cost to the Company. Target allocations for asset categories are used to earn a reasonable rate of return, provide required liquidity and minimize the risk of large losses. Targets may be adjusted, as necessary within certain guidelines, to reflect trends and developments within the overall investment environment. The weighted-average target investment allocations by asset category are as follows: 70% in equity securities, 20% in fixed income securities, 5% in real estate and 5% in other investments, including cash.
The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 20122013 and 20112012, by asset category are as follows:

The fair values of the Level 1 assets are based on quoted market prices from various financial exchanges. The fair values of the Level 2 assets are based primarily on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. The Level 2 assets are comprised primarily of commingled funds and fixed income securities. Commingled equity funds are valued at their net asset values based on quoted market prices of the underlying assets. Fixed income securities are valued using a market approach which considers observable market data for the underlying asset or securities. The Level 3 assets relate to the defined benefit pension plan of the acquired Synventive business and were transferred to the Company onin the August 27, 2012 the date of the acquisition. The pension assets are fully insured and have been estimated based on the accrued pension rights and actuarial rates at December 31, 2012.2013. The pension assets are limited to fulfilling the Company's pension obligations.
The Company expects to contribute approximately $5,9487,400 to the pension plans in 20132014.
The following are the estimated future net benefit payments, which include future service, over the next 10 years:

The historical rates are then discounted to consider fluctuations in the historical rates as well as potential changes in the investment environment.
The Company’s accumulated postretirement benefit obligations, exclusive of pensions, take into account certain cost-sharing provisions. The annual rate of increase in the cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) is assumed to be 7.35%7.11% and 7.60%7.35% at December 31, 20122013 and 20112012, respectively, decreasing gradually to a rate of 4.5% by December 31, 2029.

The risks of participating inCompany determined that a withdrawal from this multi-employer plan, are different from single-employer plansfollowing its entry into a definitive agreement to sell BDNA in February 2013, was probable. The Company estimated its assessment of a withdrawal liability, on a pre-tax discounted basis, and recorded a liability of $2,788 during the following aspects:
a. Assets contributed tofirst quarter of 2013. The expense was recorded within discontinued operations. The Company completed the sale of BDNA and ceased making contributions into the multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employeesduring the second quarter of other participating employers.
b. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
c. If the Company chooses to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, the Company may be required to pay to this plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
The Company's participation in this plan for the annual period ended December 31, 2012 is outlined in the table below. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employee Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2012 and 2011 relates to the plan's year-end at February 28, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan ("FIP") or a rehabilitation plan ("RP") is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date of the collective bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject. Contributions made by the Company did not represent more than five percent of the total plan contributions for plan years ended February 28, 2012, 2011 and 2010. There have been no significant changes that affect the comparability of 2012, 2011 or 2010 contributions.2013.

12. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, by measuring the payments at fair value on the grant date and recognizing the cost in the results of operations. The fair values of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on certain assumptions. The fair values of service and performance based stock awards are estimated based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The fair value of market based performance share awards are estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Estimated forfeiture rates are applied to outstanding awards. The Company records the cash flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of compensation for those options and other stock awards, if any, as financing cash flows. The Company has elected the shortcut method as described in the related accounting literature for determining the available pool of windfall tax benefits upon adoption. The Company accounts for the utilization of windfall tax benefits using the tax law ordering approach.
Please refer to Note 16 for a description of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and their general terms. As of December 31, 20122013, incentives have been awarded in the form of performance share unit awards and restricted stock unit awards (collectively, “Rights”) and stock options. The Company has elected to use the straight-line method to recognize compensation costs. Stock options and awards vest over a period ranging from six months to five years. The maximum term of stock option awards is 10 years. Upon exercise of a stock option or upon vesting of Rights, shares are issued from treasury shares held by the Company or from authorized shares.
In February of 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Transition and Resignation Agreement (the "Agreement") for its former Chief Executive Officer (“Former CEO”) in connection with his resignation from the CEO role
BARNES GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
and his assumption of a Vice Chairman role. The Agreement provided that, in exchange for the Former CEO's delivery of an effective release of claims, his adherence to certain restrictive covenants, and the successful provision of transition services, including with regard to certain equity grants, the successful sale of the BDNA business, the Former CEO's outstanding equity awards were modified to increase the post-termination exercise period for stock options until the earlier of ten years from the date of grant or five years from the retirement date and made non-forfeitable all outstanding stock options, restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards that remained unvested on the day of his agreed to resignation date from the Company. The original vesting dates of the equity awards serve as the delivery dates and the performance metrics continue to apply to the performance share unit awards. The Company recorded $10,492 of stock compensation expense in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of the modifications.
During 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, the Company recognized $8,81918,128, $8,319 and $7,6558,819, and $8,319 respectively, of stock-based compensation cost and $3,3456,757, $3,155 and $2,9033,345, and $3,155 respectively, of related tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Stock compensation cost in 2013 includes the $10,492 related to the modification of awards for the Former CEO. In addition, the Company has recorded $1,4383,899, $8,0561,438 and $0$8,056 of excess tax benefits in additional paid-in capital in 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively. The Company has realized all available tax benefits related to deductions from excess stock awards exercised or issued in earlier periods. At December 31, 20122013, the Company had $11,3949,801 of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested awards which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.222.31 years.

The Company granted 252,997257,245 restricted stock unit awards and 112,660157,655 performance share unit awards in 20122013. All of the restricted stock unit awards vest upon meeting certain service conditions. The performance share unit awards are part of the long-term Relative Measure Program, which is designed to assess the long-term Company performance relative to the performance of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index. The performance goals are independent of each other and based on three metrics, the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR"), basic earnings per share growth and operating income before depreciation and amortization growth (weighted equally). The participants can earn from zero to 250% of the target award and the award includes a forfeitable right to dividend equivalents, which are not included in the aggregate target award numbers. Compensation expense for the awards is recognized over the three year service period based upon the value determined under the intrinsic value method for the basic earnings per share growth and operating income before depreciation and amortization growth portions of the award and the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the TSR portion of the award since it contains a market condition. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the weighted-average fair values of the market based portion of the 20122013 awards include a 0.34%0.40% risk-free interest rate and a 43.6%34.6% expected volatility rate.
Compensation expense for the TSR portion of the awards is fixed at the date of grant and will not be adjusted in future periods based upon the achievement of the TSR performance goal. Compensation expense for the basic earnings per share growth and operating income before depreciation and amortization growth portions of the awards is recorded each period based upon a

The standards related to accounting for income taxes require that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Available evidence includes the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of temporary differences,

Management believes that sufficient taxable income should be earned in the future to realize the remaining net deferred tax assets including tax operating loss carryforwards, principally in the United States. The realization of these assets is dependent in part on the amount and timing of future taxable income in the jurisdictions where deferred tax assets reside during the tax operating loss carryforward period.reside.

Of the total tax loss carryforwards in the US, $12,977 are a result of the acquisition of Synventive in the third quarter. These acquired tax loss carryforwards are subject to certain IRS limitations. The acquired tax loss carryforwards have not been reserved as a result of these limitations as it is not expected to affect the utilization of those assets. In addition, the Company has tax credit carryforwards of $3,7301,100 with remaining carryforward periods ranging from one year to unlimited. In the United States, the Company is not in a cumulative loss position (defined as pre-tax book income plus permanent tax items) over the last three years and does not currently project to be in a cumulative loss position through 2013.5 years. As the ultimate realization of the remaining net deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income, if such future taxable income is not earned and it becomes necessary to recognize a valuation allowance, it could result in a material increase in the Company’s tax expense which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company has not recognized deferred income taxes on $665,924766,456 of undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered to be reinvested indefinitely. If the earnings were distributed in the form of dividends, the Company would be subject, in certain cases, to both U.S. income taxes and foreign income and withholding taxes. Determination of the amount of this unrecognized deferred income tax liability is not practicable. During 2012,2013, the Company repatriated a dividend from a portion of current year foreign earnings to the U.S. in the amount of $8,0005,000. As a result of the dividend, tax expense increased by $2,1311,207 and the 20122013 annual consolidated effective income tax rate increased by 1.81.1 percentage points.

17. Weighted Average Shares Outstanding
Income from continuing operations and net income per common share is computed in accordance with accounting standards related to earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities and, as such, should be included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. The Company’s restricted stock unit awards which contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed exercise and conversion of all dilutive securities. Shares held by the Retirement Savings Plan are considered outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share. There are no significant adjustments to income from continuing operations and net income for purposes of computing income available to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011. A reconciliation of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share follows:

20.21. Accounting Changes
In May 2011,February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended its guidance related to fair value measurement and disclosure. The amended guidance generally clarifies existing measurement and disclosure requirements and results in greater consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The provisions of the amended guidance were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2012. The Company has adopted the provisions of the amended accounting standard within Notes 8 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2011, the FASB amended its guidance related to the presentation of other comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires the presentation ofthat companies present information related to reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income and its components either (1) together within their consolidated financial statements within a single note or on the componentsface of net income in one continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) as a separate statement immediately following the statement of income with equal prominence.financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of the amended guidance were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2012 and were applied retrospectively within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
In September 2011, the FASB amended its guidance related to the periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. This guidance allows companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the entity determines that this threshold is not met, then performing the two-step impairment test may not be necessary. The provisions of the amended guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2012. The Company performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill pursuant to this guidanceaccounting standard during the second quarter of 2012.
In July 2012, the FASB amended its guidance related to the periodic testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This guidance establishes an optional two-step analysis for impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles other than goodwill and allows an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. Under that option, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of the intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The provisions of the amended guidance were effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of 2012 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
21. Subsequent Events
In February, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Barnes Distribution North America business (“BDNA”) to MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. for $550,000, subject to certain adjustments. The transaction, which is subject to various conditions, including customary closing conditions and approvals, is expected to close in late March, or early

in the second quarter of 2013. BDNA, which currently comprises the majority of the Company's Distribution segment results, reported 2012 sales of approximately $300,000.
The Company expects to report BDNA as Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Income beginning in the first quarter of 2013. After-tax proceeds from the transaction are anticipated to be approximately $400,000. The Company expects to utilize a portion of the proceeds to reduce debt, repurchase common shares, invest in profitable growth initiatives including acquisitions, and general corporate purposes.
In the first quarter of 2013 the Company is realigning its reportable business segments by transferring the Associated Spring Raymond business ("Raymond"), its remaining businessand within the Distribution segment, to the Industrial segment. Raymond sells, among other products, springs that are manufactured by oneNote 18 of the Industrial businesses. Accordingly, the Company's financial results, beginning in the first quarter of 2013, will be reported in two reportable business segments: Aerospace and Industrial. All previously reported segment information will be adjusted on a retrospective basis to reflect this change beginning in the first quarter of 2013.Consolidated Financial Statements.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Tothe Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Barnes Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flowspresent fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Barnes Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 20122013 and 2011,2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20122013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index appearing under item 15(a)(2)presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 1992 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company'scompany’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company'scompany’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company'scompany’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As described in Management'sManagement’s Report on Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting, management has excluded Synventive Molding Solutionsthe Männer Business from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20122013 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2012.2013. We have also excluded Synventive Molding Solutionsthe Männer Business from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Synventive Molding Solutions is a wholly-owned subsidiary whoseThe Männer Business’ total assets and total net sales represent 24%23% and 5%2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated 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. We completed the acquisition of Synventive Molding Solutions ("Synventive")the Männer Business on August 27, 2012October 31, 2013 and
it represented approximately 24%23% and 5%2% of our total assets and total net sales, respectively, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013. In accordance with applicable SEC guidance, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and
procedures does not include Synventivethe Männer Business as it was not practical to do so given the date of acquisition. Based upon, and as of the date of, that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, and designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
