Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our commonCommon stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with the information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the SEC. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we have identified as material, but aremay not be the only risks to which Colfax might be exposed. Additional risks and uncertainties, facingwhich are currently unknown to us or that we do not currently consider to be material, may materially affect the business of Colfax and we caution that this listcould have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of risk factors may notoperations. If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be exhaustive.materially adversely affected, the value of our Common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of the value of their investment in Colfax shares. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies, such as overall U.S. and non-U.S. economic and industry conditions, a global economic slowdown, geopolitical events, changes in laws or accounting rules, fluctuations in interest rates, terrorism, international conflicts, natural disasters or other disruptions of expected economic or business conditions. We operate in a continually changing business
environment, and new risk factors emerge from time to time which we cannot predict. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, including our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Business
Changes in the general economy and the cyclical nature of the markets that we serve could negatively impact the demand for our markets couldproducts and services and harm our operations and financial performance.
OurColfax's financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets we serve and on the general condition of the global economy.economy, which impacts these markets. Any sustained weakness in demand for our products and services resulting from a downturn of or uncertainty in the global economy could reduce our sales and profitability, and result in restructuring efforts. Restructuring efforts are inherently risky and we may not be able to predict the cost and timing of such actions accurately or properly estimate the impact on demand, if any. We also may not be able to realize the anticipated savings we expected from restructuring activities. profitability.
In addition, our products are sold in many industries, some of which are cyclical and may experience periodic downturns. Cyclical weakness in the industries we serve could lead to reduced demand for our products and affect our profitability and financial performance. In 2010 the effects of the global economic slowdown started to recede in some markets but we still see sluggish demand and less than robust growth in certain areas.
We believe that many of our customers and suppliers are reliant on liquidity from global credit markets and, in some cases, require external financing to purchase products or finance operations. Lack ofIf our customers lack liquidity or inabilityare unable to access the credit markets, byit may impact customer demand for our customers could impact our abilityproducts and services and we may not be able to collect amounts owed to us. Further, lack of liquidity by financial institutions could impact our ability to fully access our existing credit facility.
The majority of our sales are derived from international operations. We are subject to specific risks associated with international operations.
In the year ended December 31, 2010, we derived approximately 66% of our sales from operations outside of the U.S. and have manufacturing facilities in eight countries. Sales from international operations, export sales and the use of manufacturing facilities outside of the U.S. are subject to risks inherent in doing business outside the U.S. These risks include:
| Ÿ | partial or total expropriation of our international assets; |
Further, our products are sold in many industries, some of which are cyclical and may experience periodic downturns. Cyclical weakness in the industries that we serve could lead to reduced demand for our products and affect our profitability and financial performance.
| Ÿ | trade protection measures, including tariffs or import-export restrictions; |
| Ÿ | currency exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on currency repatriation; |
| Ÿ | significant adverse changes in taxation policies or other laws or regulations; and |
| Ÿ | the disruption of operations from political disturbances, terrorist activities, insurrection or war. |
Significant movements in foreign currency exchange rates may harm our financial results.
We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 66%The occurrence of our sales were derived from operations outside the U.S. A significant portion of our revenues and income are denominated in Euros, Swedish Kronor and Norwegian Kroner. Consequently, depreciationany of the Euro, Krona or Krone against the U.S. dollar has a negative impact on the income from operations of our European operations. Large fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the Euro, the Krona, the Krone and the U.S. dollarforegoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, we do not engage to a material extent in hedging activities intended to offset the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Any significant change in the value of the currencies of the countries in which we do business against the U.S. dollar could affect our ability to sell products competitively and control our cost structure, which, in turn, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are dependent on the availability of raw materials, as well as parts and components used in our products.
While we manufacture many of the parts and components used in our products, we require substantial amounts of raw materials and purchase parts and components from suppliers. The availability and prices for raw materials, parts and components may be subject to curtailment or change due to, among other things, suppliers’ allocations to other purchasers, interruptions in production by suppliers, changes in exchange rates and prevailing price levels. Any significant change in the supply of, or price for, these raw materials or parts and components could materially affect our business, financial condition results of operations and cash flow. In addition, delays in delivery of components or raw materials by our suppliers could cause delays in our delivery of products to our customers.
The markets we serve are highly competitive and some of our competitors may have resources superior to ours. Responding to this competition could reduce our sales and operating margins.
We sell most of our products in highly fragmented and competitive markets. We believe that the principal elements of competition in our markets are:
| Ÿ | the ability to meet customer specifications; |
| Ÿ | application expertise and design and engineering capabilities; |
| Ÿ | product quality and brand name; |
| Ÿ | quality of aftermarket sales and support. |
In order to maintain and enhance our competitive position, we intend to continue our investment in manufacturing quality, marketing, customer service and support, and distribution networks. We may not have sufficient resources to continue to make these investments and we may not be able to maintain our competitive position. Our competitors may develop products that are superior to our products, develop methods of more efficiently and effectively providing products and services, or adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. Some of our competitors may have greater financial, marketing and research and development resources than we have. As a result, those competitors may be better able to withstand the effects of periodic economic downturns. In addition, pricing pressures could cause us to lower the prices of some of our products to stay competitive. We may not be able to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with new competitors. If we fail to compete successfully, the failure may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Acquisitions have formed a significant part of our growth strategy in the past and are expected to continue to do so. If we are unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or successfully integrate the businesses we acquire, or realize the intended benefits, our growth strategy may not succeed. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including risks related to integration and undisclosed or underestimated liabilities.
Historically, our business strategy has relied on acquisitions. We expect to derive a significant portion of our growth by acquiring businesses and integrating those businesses into our existing operations. We intend to seek acquisition opportunities both to expand into new markets and to enhance our position in our existing markets. However, our ability to do so will depend on a number of steps, including our ability to:
identify suitable acquisition candidates;
| Ÿ | identify suitable acquisition candidates; |
negotiate appropriate acquisition terms;
| Ÿ | negotiate appropriate acquisition terms; |
obtain debt or equity financing that we may need to complete proposed acquisitions;
| Ÿ | obtain debt or equity financing that we may need to complete proposed acquisitions; |
complete the proposed acquisitions; and integrate the acquired business into our existing operations.
| Ÿ | complete the proposed acquisitions; and |
| Ÿ | integrate the acquired business into our existing operations. |
If we fail to achieve any of these steps, our growth strategy may not be successful.
In addition, acquisitionsAcquisitions involve numerous risks, including risks related to integration, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions.
Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, systems, controls, technologies, personnel, services and products of the acquired company, the potential loss of key employees, customers and distributors of the acquired company and the diversion of our management’smanagement's attention from other business concerns. This is the case particularly in the fiscal quarters immediately following the completion of an acquisition because the operations of the acquired business are integrated into the acquiring businesses’business' operations during this period. We cannot be sure that we willmay not accurately anticipate all of the changing demands that any future acquisition may impose on our management, our operational and management information systems and our financial systems. The failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses in a timely manner, or at all, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the anticipated benefits of an acquisition may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than we expect. Actual operating, technological, strategic and sales synergies, if achieved at all, may be less significant than we expect or may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If we are not able to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from our acquisitions within a reasonable time, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Acquisitions may result in significant integration costs, and unanticipated integration expense may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Integration efforts associated with our acquisitions may require significant capital and operating expense. Such expenses may include information technology integration fees, facility closure costs and other restructuring expenses. Significant unanticipated expenses associated with integration activities may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our acquisitions may expose us to significant unanticipated liabilities and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may underestimate or fail to discover liabilities relating to a future acquisitionacquisitions during theour due diligence investigationinvestigations, and we, as the successor owner of an acquired company, might be responsible for those liabilities. For example, two of our acquired subsidiaries are each one of many defendants in a large number of lawsuits that claimSuch liabilities could include employment, retirement or severance-related obligations under applicable law or other benefits arrangements, legal claims, tax liabilities, warranty or similar liabilities to customers, product liabilities and personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos from products manufactured with components that are alleged to have contained asbestos. Although our due diligence investigations in connection with these acquisitions uncovered the existence of potential asbestos-related liabilities, the scope of such liabilities were greater than we had originally estimated. Although we seek to minimize the impact of underestimated or potential undiscovered liabilities by structuring acquisitions to minimizeclaims, environmental liabilities and obtaining indemnitiesclaims by or amounts owed to vendors. The indemnification and warranties from the selling party, these methodswarranty provisions in our acquisition agreements may not fully protect us from the impact of undiscovered liabilities. Indemnities or warranties are often limited in scope, amount or duration, and may not fully cover the liabilities for which they were intended. The liabilities that are not covered by the limited indemnities or warranties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and financial condition.results of operations.
We may require additional capital to finance our operating needs and to finance our growth. If the terms on which the additional capital is available are unsatisfactory, if the additional capital is not available at all or if we are not able to fully access our existing credit facility,under the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement, we may not be able to pursue our growth strategy.
Our growth strategy will require additional capital investment to complete acquisitions, integrate the completed acquisitions into our existing operations and to expand into new markets.
We intend to pay for future acquisitions using cash, capital stock, notes, assumption of indebtedness or any combination of the foregoing. To the extent that we do not generate sufficient cash internally to provide the capital we require to fund our growth strategy and future operations, we will require additional debt or equity financing. We cannot be sure that thisThis additional financing willmay not be available or, if available, willmay not be on terms acceptable to us. Further, high volatility in the equitycapital markets and in our stock price may make it difficult for us to access the equitycapital markets for additional capital at attractive prices, if at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient additional capital in the future, it may limit our ability to implement fully our businessgrowth strategy. Even if future debt financing is available, it may result in (1)(i) increased interest expense, (2)(ii) increased term loan payments, (3)(iii) increased leverage and (4)(iv) decreased income available to fund further acquisitions and expansion. It may also limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures and make us more vulnerable to economic downturns. If future equity financing is available, issuances of our equity securities may dilute our existing stockholders.
In addition, our credit facility agreement includes restrictive covenants which could limit our financial flexibility. If we do not maintain compliance with these covenants,See “—The Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement contains restrictions that may limit our creditors could declare a default. Our ability to comply with the provisions offlexibility in operating our indebtedness may be affected by changes in economic or business conditions beyond our control.

If operations at our manufacturing facilities were to be disrupted as a result of significant equipment failures, natural disasters, power outages, fires, explosions, terrorism, adverse weather conditions, labor disputes or other reasons, our financial performance could be adversely affected as a result of our inability to meet customer demand for our products. Interruptions in production could increase our costs and reduce our sales. Any interruption in production capability could requireOur restructuring activities may subject us to make substantial capital expendituresadditional uncertainty in our operating results.
We have implemented, and plan to remedy the situation, which could negatively affect our profitabilitycontinue to implement, restructuring programs designed to facilitate key strategic initiatives and financial condition.maintain long-term sustainable growth. As such, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur increased expense relating to restructuring activities. We maintain property damage insurance which we believe to be adequate to provide for reconstruction of facilities and equipment, as well as business interruption insurance to mitigate losses resulting from any production interruption or shutdown caused by an insured loss. However, any recovery under our insurance policies may not offsetachieve or sustain the lost salesanticipated benefits of these programs. Further, restructuring efforts are inherently risky, and we may not be able to predict the cost and timing of such actions accurately or increased costs thatproperly estimate their impact. We also may not be experienced duringable to realize the disruption of operations, which could adversely affect our financial performance.anticipated savings we expect from restructuring activities.
Efforts to realign our operating platform could disrupt our business and affect our results of operations.10
In recognition of our evolving global business, we are moving from a business-unit structure to a global-functional operating structure. We believe this strategic realignment will better allow us to deliver customer-centric fluid handling solutions. Inherent in any realignment of operations are risks related to our ability to structure our business in a way that accomplishes our goals and best responds to customer needs without causing disruption to our ongoing business.
Available insurance coverage, the number of future asbestos-related claims and the average settlement value of current and future asbestos-related claims of two of ourcertain subsidiaries could be different than we have estimated, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flow.operations.
Two of ourCertain subsidiaries are each one of many defendants in a large number of lawsuits that claim personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos from products manufactured with components that are alleged to have contained asbestos. Such components were acquired from third-party suppliers and were not manufactured by any of our subsidiaries nor were the subsidiaries producers or direct suppliers of asbestos. For the purposes of our financial statements, we have estimated the future claims exposure and the amount of insurance available based upon certain assumptions with respect to future claims and liability costs. We estimate the liability costs to be incurred in resolving pending and forecasted claims for the next 15-year period.
Our decision to use a 15-year period is based on our belief that this is the extent of our ability to forecast liability costs. We also estimate the amount of insurance proceeds available for such claims based on the current financial strength of the various insurers, our estimate of the likelihood of payment and applicable current law. We reevaluate these estimates regularly. Although we believe our current estimates are reasonable, a change in the time period used for forecasting our liability costs, the actual number of future claims brought against us, the cost of resolving these claims, the likelihood of payment by, and the solvency of, insurers and the amount of remaining insurance available could be substantially different than our estimates, and future revaluation of our liabilities and insurance recoverables could result in material adjustments to these estimates, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flow.operations. In addition, the company incurswe incur defense costs related to those claims, a portion of which has historically been reimbursed by our insurers. We also incur litigation costs in connection with actions against certain of the subsidiaries’subsidiaries' insurers relating to insurance coverage. While these costs may be significant, we may not be able to predict the amount or duration of such costs. Additionally, we may experience delays in receiving reimbursement from insurers, during which time we may be required to pay cash for settlement or legal defense costs. Any increase in the actual number of future claims brought against us, the defense costs of resolving these claims, the cost of pursuing claims against our insurers, the likelihood and timing of payment by, and the solvency of, insurers and the amount of remaining insurance available, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A material disruption at any of our manufacturing facilities could adversely affect our ability to generate sales and meet customer demand.
If operations at any of our manufacturing facilities were to be disrupted as a result of a significant equipment failure, natural disaster, power outage, fire, explosion, terrorism, cyber-based attack, adverse weather conditions, labor disputes or other reason, our financial performance could be adversely affected as a result of our inability to meet customer demand for our products. Interruptions in production could increase our costs and cash flow.
reduce our sales. Any interruption in production capability could require us to make substantial capital expenditures to remedy the situation, which could negatively affect our profitability and financial condition. We maintain property damage insurance which we believe to be adequate to provide for reconstruction of facilities and equipment, as well as business interruption insurance to mitigate losses resulting from any production interruption or shutdown caused by an insured loss. However, any recovery under our insurance policies may not offset the lost sales or increased costs that may be experienced during the disruption of operations, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our international operations are subject to the laws and regulations of the United StatesU.S. and many foreign countries. Failure to comply with these laws may affect our ability to conduct business in certain countries and may affect our financial performance.
We are subject to a variety of laws regarding our international operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K Bribery Act of 2010, and regulations issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security, and the regulationsU.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and various foreign governmental agencies. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international sales and manufacturing operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted. Future regulations could limit the countries in which some of our products may be manufactured or sold, or could restrict our access to, and increase the cost of obtaining, products from foreign sources. In addition, actual or alleged violations of these laws could result inlead to enforcement actions and financial penalties that could result in substantial costs. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act or other applicable anti-bribery laws could have an adverse effect on our business.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in anti-bribery law enforcement activity with more frequent and aggressive investigations and enforcement proceedings by both the Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, increased enforcement activity by non-U.S. regulators and increases in criminal and civil proceedings brought against companies and individuals. Our foreign subsidiariespolicies mandate compliance with all anti-bribery laws. However, we operate in certain countries that are recognized as having governmental and commercial corruption. Our internal control policies and procedures may not always protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or third-party intermediaries. Violations of these anti-bribery laws may result in criminal or civil sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have done and may continue to do business in countries subject to U.S. sanctions and embargoes, including Iran and Syria, and we may have limited managerial oversight over those activities. Failure to comply with these sanctions and embargoes may result in enforcement or other regulatory actions.
FromCertain of our independent foreign subsidiaries have conducted and may continue to conduct business in countries subject to U.S. sanctions and embargoes, and we have limited managerial oversight over those activities. Failure to comply properly with these sanctions and embargoes may result in enforcement or other regulatory actions. Specifically, from time to time, certain of our independent foreign subsidiaries sell products to companies and entities located in, or controlled by the governments of, certain countries that are or have previously been subject to sanctions and embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and/or the United Nations, such asNations. In March 2010, our Board of Directors affirmatively prohibited any new sales to Iran by us and Syria.all of our foreign subsidiaries. With the exception of the U.S. sanctions against Cuba and Iran, the applicable sanctions and embargoes generally do not prohibit our foreign subsidiaries from selling non-U.S.-origin products and services in those countries.to countries that are or have previously been subject to sanctions and embargoes. However, Colfax Corporation, itsour U.S. personnel, and itseach of our domestic subsidiaries, as well as our employees of our foreign subsidiaries who are U.S. citizens, are prohibited from participating in, approving or otherwise facilitating any aspect of the business activities in those countries.countries, including Syria. These constraints may negatively affect the financial or operating performance of such business activities. We cannot be certain that our attempts
Our efforts to comply with U.S. sanction laws and embargoes willmay not be effective, and as a consequence we may face enforcement or other actions if our compliance efforts are not wholly effective. Actual or alleged violations of these laws could result inlead to substantial fines or other sanctions which could result in substantial costs. In addition, Syria, Iran and Syriacertain other sanctioned countries currently are identified by the U.S. State Department as state sponsors of terrorism, and may behave been subject to increasingly restrictive sanctions. Because certain of our independent foreign subsidiaries have contact with and transact limited business in suchcertain U.S. sanctioned countries, including sales to enterprises controlled by agencies of the governments of such countries, our reputation may suffer due to our association with these countries, which may have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Further,shares and our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain U.S. states and municipalities have recently enacted legislation regarding investments by pension funds and other retirement systems in companies that have business activities or contacts with countries that have been identified as state sponsors of terrorism and similar legislation may be pending in other states. As a result, pension funds and other retirement systems may be subject to reporting requirements with respect to investments in companies such as oursColfax or may be subject to limits or prohibitions with respect to those investments that may have a material adverse effect on the price of our shares.shares and our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, oneOne of our foreign subsidiaries made a small number of sales from 2003 through 2007 totaling approximately $60,000 in the aggregate to two customers in Cuba which may have been made in violation of regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC. Cuba is also identified by the U.S. State Department as a state sponsor of terrorism. We have submitted a disclosure report to OFAC regarding these transactions. On December 5, 2008, the Company executed a tolling agreement with the OFAC extending the statute of limitations for the investigation until May 1, 2011. As a result of these sales, we may be subject to fines or other sanctions. Further, during the 2012 fiscal year a few of our independently-operated foreign subsidiaries which we acquired in 2012 made the final shipments necessary to wind down four sales agreements involving parties identified in section 560.304 of title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which transactions were conducted in accordance with applicable U.S. and E.U. economic sanctions, statutes and regulations in effect at that time.
If we fail to comply with export control regulations, we could be subject to substantial fines or other sanctions.
Some of our products manufactured or assembled in the United StatesU.S. are subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, which require that we obtain an export license is
obtained before we can export such products can be exported to specifiedcertain countries. Additionally, some of our products are subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, which restrict the export of certain military or intelligence-related items, technologies and services to non-U.S. persons. Failure to comply with these laws could harm our business by subjecting us to sanctions by the U.S. government, including substantial monetary penalties, denial of export privileges and debarment from U.S. government contracts.
The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Approximately 49%The majority of our sales are derived from international operations. We are subject to specific risks associated with international operations.
In the year ended December 31, 2013, we derived approximately 80% of our sales from operations outside of the U.S. and we have principal manufacturing facilities in 25 non-U.S. countries. Sales from international operations, export sales and the use of manufacturing facilities outside of the U.S. by us are subject to risks inherent in doing business outside the U.S. These risks include:
economic or political instability;
partial or total expropriation of international assets;
limitations on ownership or participation in local enterprises;
trade protection measures, including tariffs or import-export restrictions;
currency exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on currency repatriation;
labor and employment laws that may be more restrictive than in the U.S.;
significant adverse changes in taxation policies or other laws or regulations;
difficulties in hiring and maintaining qualified staff; and
the disruption of operations from political disturbances, terrorist activities, insurrection or war.
If any of these risks were to materialize, they may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If our employees are represented by foreign trade unions. Ifunions or works councils engage in a strike, work stoppage or other slowdown or if the representation committees responsible for negotiating with thesesuch trade unions on our behalfor works councils are unsuccessful in negotiating new and acceptable agreements when the existing agreements with our employees covered by the unionscollective bargaining expire,or if the foreign trade unions chose not to support our restructuring programs, we could experience business disruptions or increased costs.
As of December 31, 2010,2013, approximately 38% of our employees were represented by a number of different trade unions and works councils. Further, as of that date, we had 1,524approximately 15,200 employees, representing 86% of our worldwide employee base, in foreign locations. In certainCanada, Australia and various countries laborin Europe, Asia, and employment laws are more restrictive than in the U.S.Central and in many cases, grant significant job protection to employees, including rights on termination of employment. In Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands,South America, by law, somecertain of our employees are represented by a number of different trade unions in these jurisdictions,and works councils, which subjectssubject us to employment arrangements very similar to collective bargaining agreements. Further, the laws of certain foreign countries may place restrictions on our ability to take certain employee-related actions or require that we conduct additional negotiations with trade unions, works councils or other governmental authorities before we can take such actions.
If our employees represented by foreign trade unions or works councils were to engage in a strike, work stoppage or other slowdown in the future, we could experience a significant disruption of our operations. Such disruption could interfere with our business operations and could lead to decreased productivity, increased labor costs and lost revenue.
Although we have not experienced any material recent strikes or work stoppages, we cannot offer any assurance that the The representation committees that negotiate with the foreign trade unions or works councils on our behalf willmay not be successful in negotiating new collective bargaining agreements or other employment arrangements when the current ones expire. Furthermore, future labor negotiations could result in significant increases in our labor costs. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our manufacturing business is subject to the possibility of product liability lawsuits, which could harm our business.
In addition to the asbestos-related liability claims described above, asAs the manufacturer of equipment for use in industrial markets, we face an inherent risk of exposure to other product liability claims. Although we maintain quality controls and procedures, we cannot be sure that ourOur products willmay not be free from defects. In addition, some of our products contain components manufactured by third parties, which may also have defects. We maintain insurance coverage for product liability claims. OurThe insurance policies have limits, however, that may not be sufficient to cover claims made against us.made. In addition, this insurance may not continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost. With respect to components manufactured by third-party suppliers, the contractual indemnification that we seek from our
third-party suppliers may be limited and thus insufficient to cover claims made against us. If our insurance coverage or contractual indemnification is insufficient to satisfy product liability claims made against us, the claims could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Even claims without merit could harm our reputation, reduce demand for our products, cause us to incur substantial legal costs and distract the attention of our management. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a manufacturer,manufacturers, we are subject to a variety of environmental and health and safety laws for which compliance, or liabilities that arise as a result of noncompliance, could be costly. In addition, if we fail to comply with such laws, we could incur liability that could result in penalties and costs to correct any non-compliance.
Our business isbusinesses are subject to international, federal, state and local environmental and safety laws and regulations, including laws and regulations governing emissions of: regulated air pollutants; discharges of wastewater and storm water; storage and handling of raw materials; and generation, storage, transportation and disposal of regulated wastes; and laws and regulations governing worker safety. These requirements impose on our businessbusinesses certain responsibilities, including the obligation to obtain and maintain various environmental permits. If we were to fail to comply with these requirements or fail to obtain or maintain a required permit, we could be subject to penalties and be required to undertake corrective action measures to achieve compliance. In addition, if our noncompliance with such regulations were to result in a release of hazardous materials tointo the environment, such as soil or groundwater, we could be required to remediate such contamination, which could be costly. Moreover, noncompliance could subject us to private claims for property damage or personal injury based on exposure to hazardous materials or unsafe working conditions. ChangesIn addition, changes in applicable requirements or stricter interpretation of existing requirements may result in costly compliance requirements or otherwise subject us to future liabilities.
The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As the present or former owner or operator of real property, or generator of waste, we could become subject to liability for environmental contamination, regardless of whether we caused such contamination.
Under various federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances, and, in some instances, international laws, relating to the protection of the environment, a current or former owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost to remove or remediate contamination on, under, or released from such property and for any damage to natural resources resulting from such contamination. Similarly, a generator of waste can be held responsible for contamination resulting from the treatment or disposal of such waste at any off-site location (such as a landfill), regardless of whether the generator arranged for the treatment or disposal of the waste in compliance with applicable laws. Costs associated with liability for removal or remediation of contamination or damage to natural resources could be substantial and liability under these laws may attach without regard to whether the responsible party knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the contaminants. In addition, the liability may be joint and several. Moreover, the presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination at our properties, or properties for which we are deemed responsible, may expose us to liability for property damage or personal injury, or materially adversely affect our ability to sell our real property interests or to borrow using the real property as collateral. We cannot be sure that we will notcould be subject to environmental liabilities in the future as a result of historic or current operations that have resulted or will result in contamination. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to maintain and protect our trademarks, trade names and technologyintellectual property rights or challenges to these rights by third parties may affect our operations and financial performance.
The market for many of our products is, in part, dependent upon patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, agreements with employees, customers and other third parties to establish and maintain our intellectual property rights, and the goodwill engendered by our trademarks and trade names. TrademarkThe protection of these intellectual property rights is therefore material to a portion of our business.businesses. The failure to protect our trademarks and trade namesthese rights may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.results of operations. Litigation may be required to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights of others. It may be particularly difficult to enforce our intellectual property rights in countries where such rights are not highly developed or protected. Any action we take to protect our intellectual property rights could be costly and could absorb significant management time and attention. As a result of any such litigation, we could lose any proprietary rights we have.
In addition, itthird parties may claim that we or our customers are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement may subject us to costly and time-consuming defense actions and, should defenses not be successful, may result in the payment of damages, redesign of affected products, entry into settlement or license agreements, or a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from manufacturing, marketing or selling certain of our products. It is also possible that others will independently develop technology that will compete with our patented or unpatented technology. The development
occurrence of new technologies by competitors that may compete withany of the foregoing could have a material and adverse effect on our technologies could reduce demand for our productsbusiness, financial condition and affect our financial performance.results of operations.
The loss of key leadership could have a material adverse effect on our ability to run our business.
We may be adversely affected if we lose members of our senior leadership. We are highly dependent on our senior leadership team as a result of their expertise. During 2010 we added several new members toexpertise in our senior leadership team, including Clay H. Kiefaber,industry and our President and Chief Executive Officer, and C. Scott Brannan, our Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer.business. The loss of key leadership or the inability to attract, retain and motivate sufficient numbers of qualified management personnel could have a material adverse effect on usour business, financial condition and our business.
Some of our stockholders may exert significant influence over us.
Currently, two of our stockholders, Mitchell P. Rales and Steven M. Rales, together, and through an entity wholly owned by them, hold approximately 42% of our outstanding common stock. The level of ownership of these stockholders, and the service of Mitchell Rales as chairman of our board of directors, enables them to exert significant influence over all matters involving us, including matters presented to our stockholders for approval, such as election and removal of our directors and change of control transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company and could prevent stockholders from receiving a premium over the market price if a change in control is proposed. The interests of these persons may not coincide with the interests of the other holders of our common stock with respect to our operations or strategy.
The market price of our common stock may experience a high level of volatility.
The market price for our common stock has experienced a high level of volatility and may continue to do so in the future. During the period from our initial public offering (IPO) to December 31, 2010, our common stock traded between $5.33 and $28.35 per share. At any given time, you may not be able to sell your shares at a price that you think is acceptable. The market liquidity for our stock is relatively low. As of December 31, 2010, we had 43,413,553 shares of common stock outstanding. The average daily trading volume in our common stock during the period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 was approximately 140,000 shares. Although a more active trading market may develop in the future, the limited market liquidity for our stock may affect your ability to sell at a price that is satisfactory to you. Stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.
Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent an acquisition of our company, which could decrease the value of your shares.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, and Delaware law contain provisions that may make it difficult for a third-party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include prohibiting stockholders from taking action by written consent, prohibiting special meetings of stockholders called by stockholders and prohibiting stockholder nominations and approvals without complying with specific advance notice requirements. In addition, our board of directors has the right to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which our board of directors could use to effect a rights plan or “poison pill” that could dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer and may have the effect of delaying, discouraging or preventing an acquisition of our company. Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. Although Mitchell Rales and Steven Rales, both individually and in the aggregate, hold more than 15% of our outstanding voting stock, this provision of Delaware law does not apply to them.
There may be limitations on our ability to fully utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and other U.S. deferred tax assets in future periods.
We may not be able to generate sufficient future U.S. taxable income to utilize our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and/or other net U.S. deferred tax assets. Our net U.S. deferred tax assets, including U.S. NOLs and net of valuation allowances, are $54.8 million as of December 31, 2010. If sufficient future taxable income and/or available tax planning strategies are not available to utilize some or all of these deferred tax assets, additional valuation allowances may be recorded which would negatively affect our results of operations.
Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates and judgments we useThe Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement contains restrictions that may limit our flexibility in applyingoperating our accounting policies.business.
The methods, estimatesDeutsche Bank Credit Agreement contains various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:
incur additional indebtedness;
pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of, the capital stock of Colfax and judgmentsits wholly-owned subsidiaries;
make certain investments;
create liens on certain assets to secure debt;
consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all our assets; and
enter into certain transactions with affiliates.
In addition, under the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement, we use in applying our accounting policiesare required to satisfy and maintain compliance with a total leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. Limitations imposed by the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement's various covenants could have a significant impactmaterially adverse effect on our results of operations (see “Critical Accounting Policiesbusiness, financial condition and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K). Such methods, estimates and judgments are, by their nature, subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and factors may arise over time that lead us to change our methods, estimates and judgments. Changes in those methods, estimates and judgments could significantly affect our results of operations.
Any impairment in the value of our intangible assets, including goodwill,Goodwill, would negatively affect our operating results and total capitalization.
Our totalTotal assets reflect substantial intangible assets, primarily goodwill.Goodwill. The goodwillGoodwill results from our acquisitions, representing the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets we have acquired. We assess at least annually whether there has been impairment in the value of our intangible assets. If future operating performance at one or more of our business units were to fall significantly below current levels, if competing or alternative technologies emerge, or if market conditions for businessesan acquired declines,business decline, we could incur, under current applicable accounting rules, a non-cash charge to operating earnings for goodwillGoodwill impairment. Any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of unamortized intangible assets would negativelyadversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and total capitalization, the effect of which could be material.
Our defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement medical and death benefit plans are or may become subject to financial market risksfunding requirements or obligations that could adversely affect our operating results,business, financial condition and cash flow.results of operations.
OurWe operate defined benefit pension plan obligations areplans and post-retirement medical and death benefit plans for our current and former employees worldwide. Each plan's funding position is affected by the investment performance of the plan's investments, changes in marketthe fair value of the plan's assets, the type of investments, the life expectancy of the plan's members, changes in the actuarial assumptions used to value the plan's liabilities, changes in the rate of inflation and interest rates, andour financial position, as well as other changes in economic conditions. Furthermore, since a significant proportion of the majority of planplans' assets are invested in publicly traded debt and equity securities, whichthey are, and will be, affected by market risks. Significant changesAny detrimental change in market interest rates, decreases inany of the fair valueabove factors is likely to worsen the funding position of plan assetseach of the relevant plans, and investment losses or lackthis is likely to require the plans' sponsoring employers to increase the contributions currently made to the plans to satisfy our obligations. Any requirement to increase the level of expected investment gainscontributions currently made could have a material adverse effect on plan assets may adversely impact our future operating results,business, financial condition and results of operations.
Significant movements in foreign currency exchange rates may harm our financial results.
We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. During the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 80% of our sales were derived from operations outside the U.S. A significant portion of our revenues and income are denominated in foreign currencies. Large fluctuations in the rate of exchange between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Changes in the currency exchange rates may impact
the financial results positively or negatively in one period and not another, which may make it difficult to compare our operating results from different periods.
We also face exchange risk from transactions with customers in countries outside the U.S. and from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Although we use the U.S dollar as our functional currency for reporting purposes, we have manufacturing sites throughout the world and a substantial portion of our costs are incurred and sales are generated in foreign currencies. Costs incurred and sales recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the U.S. are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar. In particular, the Company has more sales in European currencies than it has expenses in those currencies. Although a significant portion of this difference is hedged, when European currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar, operating profits are increased or decreased, respectively.
Venezuela devalued its currency relative to the U.S. dollar numerous times, and may do so again in the future. Because we consider the Venezuelan bolivar fuerte a highly inflationary currency under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), the financial statements of the Company’s Venezuelan operations have been remeasured into their parent’s reporting currency, the Colombian peso. The devaluation of the bolivar and the change to the Colombian peso as the functional currency resulted in a foreign currency transaction loss of $2.9 million recognized in Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 29, 2013. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2014, Argentina devalued its currency relative to the U.S. dollar, which has resulted in the Argentine peso to also be considered a highly inflationary currency under GAAP. We expect to be subject to foreign currency translation losses during the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso. We may be subject to additional foreign currency translation losses depending upon whether Venezuela further devalues the bolivar, movements in exchange rates between these highly inflationary currencies and the parents’ reporting currency and the amount of monetary assets and liabilities included in the balance sheets of our operations denominated in currencies considered to be highly inflationary. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s combined Venezuelan and Argentine operations represented less than 1% and 2% of the Company’s Total assets and Net sales, respectively.
We have generally accepted the exposure to exchange rate movements without using derivative financial instruments to manage this risk. Both positive and negative movements in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar will therefore continue to affect the reported amount of sales, profit, assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
We are dependent on the availability of raw materials, as well as parts and components used in our products.
While we manufacture many of the parts and components used in our products, we purchase a substantial amount of raw materials, parts and components from suppliers. The availability and prices for raw materials, parts and components may be subject to curtailment or change due to, among other things, suppliers' allocations to other purchasers, interruptions in production by suppliers, changes in exchange rates and prevailing price levels. Any significant change in the supply of, or price for, these raw materials, parts or components could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, delays in delivery of raw materials, parts or components by suppliers could cause delays in our delivery of products to our customers.
We are currently working to streamline our supplier base, which could exacerbate certain of the risks described above. For example, as a result of maintaining relationships with fewer suppliers, we may become more dependent on such suppliers having adequate quantities of raw materials, parts or components that satisfy our requirements at prices that we consider appropriate, and on the timely delivery of such raw materials, parts or components to us. In addition, as a result of maintaining relationships with fewer suppliers, it may be more difficult or impossible to obtain raw materials, parts or components from alternative sources when such components and raw materials are not available from our regular suppliers.
New regulations and customer preferences reflecting an increased focus on environmental, social and governance responsibility may impose additional costs on us and expose us to new risks, including with respect to the sourcing of our products.
Regulators, stockholders and other interested constituencies have focused increasingly on the environmental, social and governance practices of companies, which has resulted in new regulations that may impose costs on us and expose us to new risks. For example, Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and its implementing SEC regulations, impose new supply chain diligence and disclosure requirements for certain manufacturers of products containing “conflict minerals” that originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country. Complying with these requirements will impose additional costs on us, including costs to determine the source of any conflict minerals used in our products, and we may face reputational challenges or the loss of customers if we are unable to verify the origins for any conflict minerals used in our products. In addition, these requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of such minerals.
We may be subject to additional regulations in the future arising from the increased focus on environmental, social and governance responsibility. In addition, our customers may require us to implement environmental, social or governance responsibility procedures or standards before they will continue to do business with us.The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the price of our shares and our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our information technology infrastructure could be subject to service interruptions, data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, which could result in the disruption of operations or the loss of data confidentiality.
We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities, including procurement, manufacturing, distribution, invoicing and collection. These technology networks and systems may be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components, power outages, hardware failures or computer viruses. In addition, our efforts to avoid or mitigate the impact of cyber-based attacks and security breaches may not be successful in avoiding a material breach, which could result in unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or damage to our information technology networks and systems. If these information technology systems suffer severe damage, disruption or shutdown and business continuity plans do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We may be subject to risks arising from changes in technology.
The supply chains in which we operate are subject to technological changes and changes in customer requirements. We may not successfully develop new or modified types of products or technologies that may be required by our customers in the future. Further, the development of new technologies by competitors that may compete with our technologies could reduce demand for our products and affect our financial performance. Should we not be able to maintain or enhance the competitive values of our products or develop and introduce new products or technologies successfully, or if new products or technologies fail to generate sufficient revenues to offset research and development costs, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
The markets we serve are highly competitive and some of our competitors may have superior resources. If we are unable to respond successfully to this competition, this could reduce our sales and operating margins.
We sell most of our products in highly fragmented and competitive markets. We believe that the principal elements of competition in our markets are:
the ability to meet customer specifications;
application expertise and design and engineering capabilities;
product quality and brand name;
timeliness of delivery;
price; and
quality of aftermarket sales and support.
In order to maintain and enhance our competitive position, we intend to continue investing in manufacturing quality, marketing, customer service and support and distribution networks. We may not have sufficient resources to continue to make these investments and we may not be able to maintain our competitive position. Our competitors may develop products that are superior to our products, develop methods of more efficiently and effectively providing products and services, or adapt more quickly than us to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. Some of our competitors may have greater financial, marketing and research and development resources than we have. As a result, those competitors may be better able to withstand the effects of periodic economic downturns. In addition, pricing pressures could cause us to lower the prices of some of our products to stay competitive. We may not be able to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with new competitors. If we fail to compete successfully, the failure may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial results.
Our future effective income tax rates could be unfavorably affected by various factors including, among others, changes in the tax rates, rules and regulations in jurisdictions in which we generate income or the repatriation of income held in foreign jurisdictions. Our Cash and cash flow.equivalents as of December 31, 2013 includes $290.2 million held in jurisdictions outside the
U.S., which may be subject to tax penalties and other restrictions if repatriated into the U.S. In addition, the U.S. and foreign countries have considered changes to existing tax laws, including allowing existing provisions to expire, that could significantly impact the treatment of income earned outside the U.S. An increase in our effective tax rate could have a material adverse effect on our after-tax results of operations.
In addition, the amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities and by non-U.S. tax authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts recorded, our future financial results may include unfavorable tax adjustments.
Risks and Other Considerations Related to our Common Stock
The issuances of additional Common and Preferred stock or the resale of previously restricted Common stock may adversely affect the market price of Colfax Common stock.
In connection with the Charter Acquisition, we issued a total of 20,182,293 shares of Colfax Common stock to BDT CF Acquisition Vehicle, LLC (the “BDT Investor”), Mitchell P. Rales, Steven M. Rales and Markel Corporation (collectively, the “Investors”) and 13,877,552 shares of Colfax Series A Preferred Stock, which are initially convertible into an additional 12,173,291 shares of Colfax Common stock, to the BDT Investor. Pursuant to registration rights agreements we entered into with the Investors in January 2012, the Investors and their permitted transferees have registration rights for the resale of the shares of Colfax Common stock acquired as a result of the Charter Acquisition and, with respect to the BDT Investor, shares of Colfax Common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In April 2012, we filed a prospectus supplement under which the Investors may resell these shares. In addition, Mitchell P. Rales and Steven M. Rales have registration rights for the resale of certain shares of Colfax Common stock pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in 2003 and amended in 2013. These registration rights would facilitate the resale of such securities into the public market, and any such resale would increase the number of shares of Colfax Common stock available for public trading. For instance, in May 2013 the BDT Investor and certain of its permitted transferees sold 4,000,000 shares of Colfax Common stock to underwriters for public resale. Sales by the BDT Investor, Markel, Mitchell P. Rales or Steven M. Rales or their permitted transferees of a substantial number of shares of Colfax Common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of Colfax Common stock.
In March 2012 and May 2013, we sold 9,000,000 shares and 7,500,000 shares, respectively, of newly issued Common stock to underwriters for public resale pursuant to a shelf registration statement. Under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, there are additional authorized shares of Colfax Common stock, which, if subsequently issued, could have a further dilutive effect on outstanding Colfax Common stock.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that grant the BDT Investor certain rights which may limit our flexibility in operating our business and structuring our corporate governance.
Under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, so long as the BDT Investor and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 50% of the Series A Preferred Stock issued to the BDT Investor under the securities purchase agreement with the BDT Investor (the “BDT Purchase Agreement”), the BDT Investor's written consent is required in order for us to take certain corporate actions, including:
the incurrence of certain indebtedness (excluding certain permitted indebtedness) if the ratio of such indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement) exceeds certain specified ratios, measured by reference to the last twelve-month period for which financial information is reported by Colfax (pro forma for acquisitions during such period);
the issuance of any shares of preferred stock;
any change to our dividend policy or the declaration or payment of any dividend or distribution on any of our stock ranking subordinate or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions (including the Colfax Common stock) under certain circumstances;
any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Colfax;
any change in our independent auditor;
the election of anyone other than Mr. Mitchell P. Rales as Chairman of our Board of Directors;
any acquisition of another entity or assets for a purchase price exceeding 30% of our equity market capitalization;
any merger, consolidation, reclassification, joint venture or strategic partnership or similar transaction, or any disposition of any assets (excluding sale/leaseback transactions and other financing transactions in the ordinary course of business) of Colfax if the value of the resulting entity, level of investment by Colfax or value of the assets disposed, as applicable, exceeds 30% of our equity market capitalization;
any amendments to our organizational or governing documents, including the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws; and
any change in the size of our Board of Directors.
As of February 3, 2014, the BDT Investor owned 100% of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued under the BDT Purchase Agreement.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, so long as the BDT Investor and certain permitted transferees beneficially own at least 10% of the Colfax Common stock (on a fully-diluted basis), the BDT Investor's written consent is required to alter, amend or repeal the provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which set forth the authorized number of members of our Board and the BDT Investor's nomination rights in respect of members of our Board. As of February 3, 2014, the BDT Investor beneficially owned more than 10% of Colfax Common stock (on a fully diluted basis). The above factors could limit our financial and operational flexibility, and as a result could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The BDT Investor may exercise significant influence over us, including through its ability to elect up to two members of our Board of Directors.
The shares of Colfax Common stock and Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the BDT Investor represent approximately 14% of the voting rights in respect of the Company's issued share capital as of February 3, 2014. In addition, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the BDT Investor's consent is required before we may take certain actions for so long as the BDT Investor and its permitted transferees beneficially own in the aggregate at least 50% of the Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the BDT Purchase Agreement (as discussed above). As a result, the BDT Investor may have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of any matter submitted for the vote of our stockholders. The BDT Investor may have interests that diverge from, or even conflict with, those of Colfax and our other stockholders.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the BDT Investor will have the right to exclusively nominate (1) two out of eleven directors to our Board of Directors so long as the BDT Investor holds at least 20% of the outstanding Colfax Common stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis, assuming conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at the then-existing conversion price), with one of its nominees to serve on the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and one of its nominees to serve on the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, and (2) one out of ten directors to our Board of Directors so long as the BDT Investor and its permitted transferees beneficially own in the aggregate less than 20% but more than 10% of the outstanding Colfax Common stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis, assuming conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at the then-existing conversion price), with such nominee to serve on the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Further, so long as the BDT Investor and certain permitted transferees beneficially own at least 10% of the Colfax Common stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis, assuming conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at the then-existing conversion price), the BDT Investor’s written consent is required to alter, amend or repeal the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which set forth the authorized number of members of our Board and the BDT Investor’s nomination rights in respect of members of our Board.
In addition, the percentage of Colfax Common stock owned by the BDT Investor, Mitchell P. Rales and Steven M. Rales and the governance rights of the BDT Investor could discourage a third party from proposing a change of control or other strategic transaction concerning Colfax.
Provisions in our governing documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent an acquisition of Colfax, which could decrease the value of its shares.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws, and Delaware law contain provisions that may make it difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our Board of Directors. These include provisions prohibiting stockholders from taking action by written consent, prohibiting special meetings of stockholders called by stockholders and prohibiting stockholder nominations and approvals without complying with specific advance notice requirements. In addition, our Board of Directors has the right to issue Preferred stock without stockholder approval, which our Board of Directors could
use to effect a rights plan or “poison pill” that could dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer and may have the effect of delaying, discouraging or preventing an acquisition of Colfax. Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between Colfax and any holder of 15% or more of its outstanding voting stock.

We seek to acquire businesses with leading market positions and brands that exhibit strong cash flow generation potential. With our management expertise and the introduction of CBS into our acquired businesses, we pursue growth in revenues, improvements in operating margins and increasing cash flow.
Outlook
We believe that we are well positioned to grow our businessbusinesses organically over the long term by enhancing our product offerings and expanding our customer base in our strategic markets. As a late cyclebase. Our business we beganmix is expected to recover from the global economic downturn midway through 2010. This recovery was evidenced by increases in both salesbe well balanced between long- and orders in the third and fourth quarters of 2010 over the comparable 2009 quarters. Nonetheless, project delivery push-outs as well as order cancellations may continue in 2011. We will continue to monitor general global economic conditions and expect the following market conditions:
In the commercial marine industry, we expect international trade and demand for crude oil and other commodities as well as the age of the global merchant fleet to continue to create demand for new ship construction over the long term. We also believe the increase in the size of the global fleet will create an opportunity to supply aftermarket parts and service. In addition, we believe pending and future environmental regulations will enhance the demand for our products. Based on the modest increase in orders in 2010 and our current backlog, we expectshort-cycle businesses, sales in 2011 to be similar to 2010 levels. We are also likely to have additional order cancellations as well as delivery date extensions in the near term.
In the crude oil industry, we expect long term activity to remain favorable as capacity constraints and global demand drive further development of heavy oil fields. In pipeline applications, we expect demand for our highly efficient products to remain strong as our customers continue to focus on total cost of ownership. In refinery applications, projects that were deferred due to weak economic conditions have been released for quoting. We expect sales and orders to be at significantly higher levels in 2011 than in 2010.
In the power generation industry, we expect activity in Asia and the Middle East to remain solid as economic growth and fundamental undersupply of power generation capacity continue to drive investment in energy infrastructure projects. In the world’s developed economies, we expect efficiency improvements will continue to drive demand. Nevertheless, in 2011, we expect both sales and orders to be at significantly lower levels than 2010, due to the conclusion of contractual obligations of our foreign subsidiaries to provide products to certain customers in the Middle East.
In the U.S., we expect Congress to continue to appropriate funds for new ship construction as older naval vessels are decommissioned. We also expect increased demand for integrated fluid handling systems for both new ship platforms and existing ship classes that reduce operating costs and improve efficiency as the U.S. Navy seeks to man vessels with fewer personnel. Outside of the U.S., we expect other sovereign nations will continue to expand their fleets as they address national security concerns. We expect modest growth in sales during 2011 and expect orders to decline as a result of significant growth in orders in 2010 and the timing of projects.
In the general industrial market, we expect long-term demand to be driven by capital investment. While this market is very diverse, orders in 2010 increased significantly compared to 2009 in both Europe and North America. We expect growth in both orders and sales in 2011.
Our global manufacturing sales and distribution network allows us to target fast growing regions throughout the world. We have production and distribution facilities in India and China and opened a Middle East sales and engineering office in Bahrain in 2009. We intend to leverage these investments to grow our market share in these emerging markets and plandeveloped nations and fore- and aftermarket products and services. Given this balance, management no longer uses indices other than general economic trends to continuepredict the overall outlook for the Company. Instead, the individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including to invest inthe extent possible their sales, to gauge relative performance and marketing resources to increase our overall coverage.outlook for the future.
We will also continue to target aftermarketface a number of challenges and opportunities, in our strategic markets as we generally are able to generate higher margins on aftermarket partsincluding the successful integration of new acquisitions, application and service than on foremarket opportunities. For the year ended December 31, 2010, aftermarket sales and services represented approximately 24%expansion of our revenues.CBS tools to improve margins and working capital management, rationalization of assets and back office functions, and consolidation of manufacturing facilities.
We also expect to continue to grow as a result of strategic acquisitions. We believe that the extensive experience of our leadership team in acquiring and effectively integrating acquisition targets should enable us to capitalize on opportunities in the future.
Results of Operations
Key Performance Measures
The following discussion of our resultsResults of operations that follows focuses on someOperations addresses the comparison of the key financial measures that we use to evaluate our business. We evaluate our business using several measures, including net sales, orders and order backlog. Our sales, orders and backlog are affected by many factors, particularlyperiods presented. The Company’s management evaluates the impact of acquisitions, the impact of fluctuating foreign exchange rates and change from our existing businesses which may be driven by market conditions and other factors. To facilitate the comparison between reporting periods, we describe the impactoperating results of each of these three factors, to the extent they impact the periods presented, on ourits reportable segments based upon Net sales orders and backlog in tabular format under the heading “Salessegment operating income (loss), which represents Operating income before Restructuring and Orders.”other related charges.
Orders and order backlog are highly indicative of our future revenue and thus are key measures of anticipated performance. Orders consist of contracts for products or services from our customers, net of cancellations. Order backlog consists of unfilled orders.
Items Affecting the Comparability of Our Reported Results
Our financial performance and growth are driven by many factors, principally our ability to serve increasingly global markets, fluctuations in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar, the general economic conditions, within our five strategic markets, the global economy and capital spending levels, the availability of capital, our estimates concerning the availability of insurance proceeds to cover asbestos litigation expensesexpense and liabilities, the amountsamount of asbestos liabilities and litigation expenses,expense, the impact of restructuring initiatives, our ability to pass through cost increases on through pricing, the impact of sales mix, and our ability to continue to grow through acquisitions. These key factors have impacted our results of operations in the past and are likely to affect them in the future.
Global Operations
Our products and services are available worldwide. The manner in which our products and services are sold differs by region. Most of our sales in non-U.S. markets are made by subsidiaries located outside the United States, though we also sell into non-U.S. markets through various representatives and distributors and directly from the U.S. In countries with low sales volumes, we generally sell through representatives and distributors. For the year ended December 31, 2010,During 2013, approximately 75%82% of our sales were shipped to locations outside of the U.S. Accordingly, we are affected by levels of industrial activity and economic and political factors in countries throughout the world. Our ability to grow and our financial performance will be affected by our ability to address a variety of challenges and opportunities that are a consequence of our global operations, including efficiently utilizing our global sales, manufacturing and distribution capabilities, the expansion of market opportunities in Asia, successfully completing global strategic acquisitions and engineering innovative new product applications for end users in a variety of geographic markets. However, we believe that our geographic, end market and product diversification may limit the impact that any one country or economy could have on our consolidated results.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations
A significant portion of our Net sales, approximately 66%80% for the year ended December 31, 2010, are2013 is derived from operations outside the U.S., with the majority of those sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, especially the Euro.dollar. Because much of our manufacturing and employee costs are outside the U.S., a significant portion of our costs are also denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our results of operations and are quantified when significant to our discussion.
Venezuela devalued its currency related to the U.S. dollar numerous times, and may do so again in our discussionthe future. We consider the Venezuelan bolivar fuerte a highly inflationary currency under GAAP. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2014, Argentina devalued its currency relative to the U.S. dollar, which has resulted in the Argentine peso to also be considered a highly inflationary currency under GAAP. We expect to be subject to foreign currency translation losses during the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso. We may be subject to additional foreign currency translation losses depending upon whether Venezuela further devalues the bolivar, movements in exchange rates between these highly inflationary currencies and the parents’ reporting currency and the amount of monetary assets and liabilities included in the balance sheets of our operations.operations denominated in currencies considered to be highly inflationary.
Economic Conditions
Economic Conditions in Strategic Markets
Our organic growth and profitability strategy focuses on five strategic markets: commercial marine, oil and gas, power generation, global defense and general industrial. Demand for our products depends on the level of new capital investment and planned maintenance by our customers. The level of capital expenditures depends, in turn, on the general economic conditions within that market as well as access to capital at reasonable cost. While demand within each of these strategic markets can be cyclical, the diversity of these markets maywe believe that our diversified operations limit the impact of a downturn in any one of these marketsmarket on our consolidated results.
Seasonality
As our gas- and fluid-handling customers seek to fully utilize capital spending budgets before the end of the year, historically our shipments have peaked during the fourth quarter. Also, all of our European operations typically experience a slowdown during the July and August and December holiday season. General economic conditions may, however, impact future seasonal variations.
Pricing
We believe our customers place a premium on quality, reliability, availability, design and application engineering support. Our highly engineered fluid handlinggas- and fluid-handling products typically have higher margins than products with commodity-like qualities. However, we are sensitive to price movements in our raw materials supply base. Our largest material purchases are for components and raw materials consisting ofincluding steel, iron, copper and aluminum. Historically, we have been generally successful in passing raw material price increases on to our customers. While we seek to take actions to manage this risk, including commodity hedging where appropriate, such increased costs may adversely impact earnings.
Sales and Cost Mix
Our profit margins vary in relation to the relative mix of many factors, including the type of product, the geographic location in which the product is manufactured, the end market for which the product is designed, and the percentage of total revenue represented by consumables and aftermarket sales and services. AftermarketConsumables are generally sold at lower margins in comparison to our foremarket products and equipment, whereas our aftermarket business, including spare parts and other value added services, is generally a higher margin businessbusiness. Beginning in 2012, our mix of consumables and is a significant component of our profitability.aftermarket products and services was significantly impacted by the Charter Acquisition.
The mix of sales was as follows for the periods presented:

Strategic Acquisitions
We complement our organic growth with strategic acquisitions. Acquisitions can significantly affect our reported results and can complicate period to period comparisons of results. As a consequence, we report the change in our Net sales between periods both from existing and acquired businesses. We intendOrders and order backlog are presented only for the gas- and fluid-handling segment, where this information is relevant. The change in Net sales due to continueacquisitions represents the change in sales due to pursuethe following acquisitions:

This legacy legal case was settled during the third quarter of 2008.
Asbestos Liability and Defense Costs (Income)
Our financial results have been, and will likely in the future be, affected by our asbestos liabilities and the availability of insurance to cover these liabilities and defense costs related to asbestos personal injury litigation against two of our subsidiaries, as well as costs arising from our legal action against our insurers. Assessing asbestos liabilities and insurance assets requires judgments concerning matters such as the uncertainty of litigation, anticipated outcome of settlements, the number and cost of pending and future claims, the outcome of legal action against our insurance carriers, and their continued solvency. For a further discussion of these estimates and how they may affect our future results, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Asbestos Liabilities and Insurance Assets.”
Asbestos liability and defense costs (income) is comprised of projected indemnity cost, changes in the projected asbestos liability, changes in the probable insurance recovery of the projected asbestos-related liability, changes in the probable recovery of asbestos liability and defense costs paid in prior periods, and actual defense costs expensed in the period.

The increase in asbestos liabilityour gas- and defense costs was primarily attributable to a net pre-tax gain of $7.8 million recorded in 2009, comprised of a $19.4 million gain to increase the insurance asset as a result of favorable court rulings in October and December of 2009 concerning allocation methodology, partially offset by an $11.6 million charge to increase asbestos-related liabilities by $111.3 million, offset by an increase to expected insurance recoveries of $99.7 million arising from a revision to our 15-year estimate of asbestos-related liabilities. Additionally, the Company recorded charges totaling $4.0 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2010 as a result of developments in the litigation, which was partially offset by a $0.7 million gain resulting from a settlement received from an insolvent carrier.fluid-handling operating segment.
Asbestos liability and defense income was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in asbestos liability and defense income relates primarily to the favorable effect of one-time items in 2008 exceeding the favorable net effect of one-time items in 2009. One-time items in 2008 included a $7.0 million gain resulting from resolution of a coverage dispute with a primary insurer concerning certain pre-1966 insurance policies, as well as a $2.3 million gain from a change in estimate of our future asset recovery percentage for one subsidiary. One-time adjustments in 2009 include a $19.4 million gain to increase the insurance asset as a result of favorable court rulings in October and December 2009 concerning allocation methodology offset by an $11.6 million charge to increase asbestos-related liabilities by $111.3 million, offset by an increase to expected insurance recoveries of $99.7 million, as a result of an analysis of claims data.
Asbestos Coverage Litigation Expense
Asbestos coverage litigation expenses include legal costs related to the actions against two of our subsidiaries respective insurers and a former parent company of one of the subsidiaries.

Legal costs related to the subsidiaries’ action against their asbestos insurers were $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, $1.5 million higher than the year ended December 31, 2009, due to costs related to the trial by one of our subsidiaries against a number of its insurers and former parent that began in January 2010 and is expected to conclude in 2011. Legal costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 were higher than 2009 primarily due to trial preparation in the fourth quarter of 2008. The trial had been expected to commence in the first half of 2009, but did not begin until January 19, 2010.
Seasonality
We experience seasonality in our fluid handling business. As our customers seek to fully utilize capital spending budgets before the end of the year, historically our shipments have peaked during the fourth quarter. Also, our European operations typically experience a slowdown during the July and August holiday season.
Sales and Orders
Our sales, orders and backlog are affected by many factors including but not limited to acquisitions, fluctuating foreign exchange rates, and growth (decline) in our existing businesses which may be driven by market conditions and other factors. To facilitate the comparison between reporting periods, we disclose the impact of each of these three factors to the extent they impact the periods presented. The impact of foreign currency translation is the difference between sales from existing businesses valued at current year foreign exchange rates and the same sales valued at prior year foreign exchange rates. Growth due to acquisitions includes incremental sales due to an acquisition during the period or incremental sales due to reporting a full year’s sales for an acquisition that occurred in the prior year.

As detailed above,The increase in Net sales from existing businesses increased 3.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010 over the year ended December 31, 2009. This increaseduring 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily attributable to higher demandan increase of $138.1 million in all end markets except the oilour gas- and gas market. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted sales by 1.7%, primarily due to a stronger average U.S. dollar against the Euro for year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
Orders, net of cancellations, from existing businesses increased 15.4% for the year ended December 31, 2010 over the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to increased demand in the general industrial, commercial marine and oil and gas end markets, partially offset by lower demand in the defense end market. We experienced commercial marine order cancellations of approximately $16.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $21.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. Backlog as of December 31, 2010, of $313.5 million decreased $6.6 million, or 2.3% from December 31, 2009, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and acquisitions. The Baric acquisition added $38.7 million to backlog in 2010.
Sales from existing businesses declined 8.1% for the year ended December 31, 2009 over the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a significant decline in sales volume in the general industrial end market resulting from the global economic downturn, partiallyfluid-handling segment, offset by a sales volume increasedecrease of $30.6 million in the global defense end market. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted sales and orders for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to a stronger average U.S. dollar against the Euro for 2009 compared to 2008.

The proforma increase in Net sales from existing businesses in 2012 was attributable to increases of $161.5 million and $40.7 million in our gas- and fluid-handling and fabrication technology segments, respectively. Orders, net of cancellations, from existing businesses for our gas- and fluid-handling segment increased during 2012 in comparison to 2011 primarily due to growth in the power generation and mining end markets.
Business Segments
As discussed further above, the Company reports results in two reportable segments: gas and fluid handling and fabrication technology. The following table summarizes Net sales by reportable segment for each of the following periods:

The Net sales comparisons discussed above, for 2012 in comparison to 2011, are on a proforma basis (which excludes operations acquired in the Charter Acquisition for the first 12 days of each annual period presented). Further, cost information for Charter, ESAB and Howden is not available for 2011 under the presentation required by the Exchange Act and, as such, proforma discussions for 2012 in comparison to 2011 are limited to sales.
Gas and Fluid Handling
We design, manufacture, install and maintain gas- and fluid-handling products for use in a wide range of markets, including power generation, oil, gas and petrochemical, mining, marine (including defense) and general industrial and other. Our gas-handling products are principally marketed under the Howden brand name. Howden’s primary products are heavy-duty fans, rotary heat exchangers and compressors. The fans and heat exchangers are used in coal-fired and other types of power stations, both in combustion and emissions control applications, underground mines, steel sintering plants and other industrial facilities that require movement of large volumes of air in harsh applications. Howden’s compressors are mainly used in the oil, gas and petrochemical end market. Our fluid-handling products are marketed by Colfax Fluid Handling under a portfolio of brands including Allweiler and Imo. Colfax Fluid Handling is a supplier of a broad range of fluid-handling products, including pumps, fluid-handling systems and controls, and specialty valves.
The following table summarizes selected financial data for our gas- and fluid-handling segment:

The $138.1 million Net sales increase due to existing businesses, as discussed and defined under “Sales, Orders and Backlog” above, during 2013 in comparison to 2012 was primarily due to growth in the power generation, marine and general industrial and other end markets, partially offset by declines in the oil, gas and petrochemical and mining end markets. Additionally, Net sales increased by $83.9 million due to acquisition-related growth, including 12 additional days of activity in Howden, which was partially offset by a decrease of $19.2 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Gross profit increased during 2013 reflecting the impact of higher volumes. Gross profit margin remained consistent in 2013 with 2012 due to the positive impact of our strong
cost control activities offset by the lower margins on the sales associated with the entities acquired in 2013. Additionally, $4.5 million of acquisition-related amortization expense was reflected in Gross profit for 2012. Selling, general and administrative expense for 2013 decreased compared to 2012 primarily due to a significant declinedecrease of $56.6 million in demandacquisition-related amortization expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for 2013 was reduced by a $13.8 million gain to remeasure the Company’s equity investment in Sicelub to fair value upon increasing the Company’s ownership to 100%.
Year over year fluctuations for 2012 in comparison to 2011 for selected financial data are primarily due to the addition of the Howden operations. The $161.5 million sales growth due to existing businesses, as discussed and defined under “Sales, Orders and Backlog” above, during 2012 in comparison to 2011 was primarily due to growth in all end markets, except marine. Additionally, $56.6 million of acquisition-related amortization expense and $15.1 million increased recurring intangible amortization expense in comparison to 2011 is reflected in Selling, general and administrative expense for 2012.
Fabrication Technology
We formulate, develop, manufacture and supply consumable products and equipment for use in the commercial marine, oilcutting and gas, general industrialjoining of steels, aluminum and power generation end markets. We experienced commercial marine order cancellations of approximately $21.9 million duringother metals and metal alloys. Our fabrication technology products are principally marketed under the year ended December 31, 2009, asESAB brand name, which we believe is a resultleading international welding company with roots dating back to the invention of the economic downturn. Backlog ascovered welding electrode. ESAB’s comprehensive range of December 31, 2009,welding consumables includes electrodes, cored and solid wires and fluxes. ESAB’s fabrication technology equipment ranges from portable units to large custom systems. Products are sold into a wide range of $290.9 million decreased $58.1 million, or 16.6%, reflecting the decline in orders during the year.end markets, including wind power, shipbuilding, pipelines, mobile/off-highway equipment and mining.

The $90.5 million Net sales increase during 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily the result of acquisition-related growth of $163.0 million, including 12 additional days of activity in ESAB. The $30.6 million Net sales decline due to existing businesses, as discussed and defined under “Sales, Orders and Backlog” above, during 2013 in comparison to 2012 was primarily the result of decreases in consumable volumes in Europe, Asia and North America. Net sales was also negatively impacted by $41.9 million due to the change in foreign exchange rates. Gross profit and gross profit margin figures for the periods indicated:

In 2013, Gross profit and gross profit margin were favorably impacted by the fixed costs eliminated by several manufacturing site closings in late 2012 and the higher gross profit margins at Soldex. Additionally, Selling, general and administrative expense increased $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Gross profit from existing businesses increased $6.5 million, with an additional increase of $1.8by $29.9 million due to the acquisitionsacquisition of BaricSoldex.

The $154.1 million increase in Gross profit during 2013 in comparison to 2012 was flat comparedattributable to increases of $59.6 million in our gas- and fluid-handling segment and $94.5 million in our fabrication technology segment. Gross profit increased during 2013 due to the year ended December 31, 2009, asnon-recurrence of $21.6 million of acquisition-related inventory step-up expense incurred in 2012. The improvement in gross profit margin declines driven by lower pricing and an unfavorable product mix shift were partially offset by restructuring program cost savings and higher productivity.
Gross profit decreased $31.4 million forduring the year ended December 31, 2009 comparedperiod was also due to the same periodimpact of our cost reduction efforts and favorable trends in 2008.

Excluding a $2.2 million net increase related to acquisitions and foreign exchange rates, SG&A increased $4.7 million from 2009,2012, primarily due to higher selling and commission costs and higher incentive compensation. There was also a $2.9decrease in acquisition-related amortization expense of $56.6 million, partially offset by the increase in pension costs dueexpenses resulting from the additional 12 days of operations related to the Company’s assumptionentities acquired as part of the pension obligation for a groupCharter Acquisition and the acquisitions of former employeesSoldex, Co-Vent, Clarus, ČKDK, GII, TLT-Babcock, Alphair and Sicelub. During 2012, we incurred $43.6 million of a divested subsidiaryadvisory, legal, valuation and other professional service fees and realized losses on acquisition-related foreign exchange derivatives in connection with the Charter Acquisition. Restructuring and other related charges decreased in 2013 in comparison to 2012 primarily as a result of an agreement reachedthe completion of several substantial cost reduction programs in the fabrication technology segment in 2012. Additionally, Asbestos coverage litigation expense decreased in 2013 as significant costs were incurred in 2012 for the preparation of our appeals submissions related to a case decided by the trial court during 2011 and for depositions and preparation for a trial related to a subsidiary’s coverage which was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Interest Expense
For a description of our outstanding indebtedness, please refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Interest expense of $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 declined $0.5 million from the prior year. A decrease in the notional value of our interest rate swap from $75 million to $50 million on June 30, 2010 caused our overall weighted-average effective interest rate to decline, from 5.6% in 2009 to 5.4% in 2010.
Interest expense of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 declined $4.6 million from the prior year, primarily due to lower debt levels during 2009 compared to 2008 as a result of debt repayments of $105.4 million from a portion of the IPO proceeds in the second quarter of 2008. A decrease in the weighted-average effective interest rate on our variable rate borrowings that are not hedged, from 6.3% in 2008 to 5.6% in 2009 contributed approximately $0.7 millionThird Amendments to the reduction in interest expense.Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement and lower outstanding borrowing levels.
Provision for Income Taxes - Total Company
The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 was 41.4% as compared to an effective tax rate of 26.6% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 20102013 was higher30.9%, which was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a net increase in our valuation allowance, offset in part byforeign earnings where international tax rates which are lower than the U.S. tax rate, a discrete credit to income tax expense of $5.1 million from a reduction to deferred tax balances in certain territories associated with the enactment of lower corporate tax rates and the reduction of a net decrease to ourliability for unrecognized tax benefits, which resulted in a gain of $2.3 million, all of which were offset in part by other discrete tax items and losses in certain jurisdictions where a tax benefit liability.is not expected to be recognized in 2013.
During 2012, Loss before income taxes was $48.4 million and the Provision for income taxes was $90.7 million. The 41.4% effectiveProvision for income taxes was impacted by two significant items. Upon completion of the Charter Acquisition, certain deferred tax rate forassets existing at that date were reassessed in light of the year ended December 31, 2010 was higher thanimpact of the 26.6% effectiveacquired businesses on expected future income or loss by country and future tax rate forplanning, including the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily due a $4.2 millionimpact of the post-acquisition capital structure. This assessment resulted in an increase in our valuation allowance to provide full valuation allowances against U.S. deferred tax assets. The increased valuation allowances resulted in 2010.
The effectivea non-cash increase to the Provision for income taxes for 2012 of $50.3 million. In addition, $43.6 million of Charter acquisition-related expense reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations is either non-deductible or was incurred in jurisdictions where no tax ratebenefit can be recognized. These two items are the principal cause of the Provision for income taxes being significantly higher than the year ended December 31, 2009 was 26.6% as compared to an effective tax rateprovision which would result from the application of 91.1% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to international tax rates which are lower than the U.S. tax rate, including the impact of the reduction in 2009 of the Swedish tax rate from 28% to 26.3% offset in part by a net increase to our valuation allowance and unrecognized tax benefit liability. The 26.6% effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 was lower than the 91.1% effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to an $11.8 million payment to reimburse certain selling shareholders for underwriters discounts that are not deductible for tax purposes and a $3.4 million increase in valuation allowance in 2008.reported Net loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Historically, we have financed our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, and borrowings under our bank credit facility.facilities and the issuances of equity. We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, funding for potentialof acquisitions, capital expenditures, asbestos-related cash outflows and funding of our pension plan funding.plans. If additional funds are needed for strategic acquisitions or other corporate purposes, we believe we could raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity.
BorrowingsEquity Capital
On May 13, 2013, we sold 7,500,000 shares of newly issued Colfax Common stock to underwriters for public resale pursuant to a shelf registration statement for an aggregate purchase price of $331.9 million. In conjunction with this issuance, we recognized $12.0 million in equity issuance costs which were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital during 2013.
On September 12, 2013, we contributed 88,200 shares of newly issued Colfax Common stock to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan.
In connection with the financing of the Charter Acquisition, on January 24, 2012, we sold to the BDT Investor (i) 14,756,945 shares of newly issued Colfax Common stock and (ii) 13,877,552 shares of newly created Series A perpetual convertible preferred stock, referred to as the Series A Preferred Stock, for an aggregate of $680 million (representing $24.50 per share of Series A Preferred Stock and $23.04 per share of Common stock) pursuant to the BDT Purchase Agreement with the BDT Investor as well as BDT Capital Partners Fund I-A, L.P., and Mitchell P. Rales, Chairman of our Board of Directors, and his brother, Steven M.
Rales (for the limited purpose of tag-along sales rights provided to the BDT Investor in the event of a sale or transfer of shares of our Common stock by either or both of Mitchell P. Rales and Steven M. Rales). Pursuant to the BDT Purchase Agreement, under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends, payable quarterly, at a per annum rate of 6% of the liquidation preference (defined as $24.50, subject to customary antidilution adjustments), provided that the dividend rate shall be increased to a per annum rate of 8% if Colfax fails to pay the full amount of any dividend required to be paid on such shares until the date that full payment is made.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders at any time after the date the shares were issued into shares of Colfax Common stock at a conversion rate determined by dividing the liquidation preference by a number equal to 114% of the liquidation preference, subject to certain adjustments. The Series A Preferred Stock is also convertible, in whole or in part, at our option on or after the third anniversary of the issuance of the shares at the same conversion rate if, among other things: (i) for the preceding thirty trading days, the closing price of Colfax Common stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds 133% of the applicable conversion price and (ii) Colfax has declared and paid or set apart for payment all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock.
On May 13, 2008, coincidingJanuary 24, 2012, we sold 2,170,139 shares of newly issued Colfax Common stock to each of Mitchell P. Rales and Steven M. Rales and 1,085,070 shares of newly issued Colfax Common stock to Markel Corporation (“Markel”) at $23.04 per share, for an aggregate of $125 million pursuant to separate securities purchase agreements with Mitchell P. Rales, Chairman of Colfax’s Board of Directors, and his brother Steven M. Rales, each of whom were beneficial owners of 20.9% of Colfax’s Common stock at the time of the sale, and Markel. Thomas S. Gayner, a member of Colfax’s Board of Directors, is President and Chief Investment Officer of Markel.
Consideration paid to Charter shareholders included 0.1241 shares of newly issued Colfax Common stock in exchange for each share of Charter’s ordinary stock, which resulted in the issuance of 20,735,493 shares of Common stock on January 24, 2012.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Common and Preferred stock issued in connection with the financing of the Charter Acquisition, the Company recognized $14.7 million in equity issuance costs which were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital during 2012.
On March 5, 2012, we sold 8,000,000 shares of newly issued Common stock to underwriters for public resale pursuant to a shelf registration statement for an aggregate purchase price of $272 million. Further, on March 9, 2012, the underwriters of the March 5, 2012 equity offering exercised their over-allotment option and we sold an additional 1,000,000 shares of newly issued Common stock to the underwriters for public resale pursuant to a shelf registration statement for an aggregate purchase price of $34 million. In conjunction with these issuances, we recognized $12.6 million in equity issuance costs which were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital during 2012.
Borrowing Arrangements
We entered into the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement on September 12, 2011. In connection with the closing of the IPO,Charter Acquisition, the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement was amended on January 13, 2012 and we terminated our existing credit facility.

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period asdue to changes in working capital needs,and the timing of payments for items such as asbestos-related cash flows, pension funding decisions and otherasbestos-related costs. Changes in significant operating cash flow items impact reported cash flows.are discussed below.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $62.0 million, $38.7 million and $(33.0) millionreceived or paid for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The two most significant items causing the variability in these reported amounts were asbestos-related cash flows (includingcosts, net of insurance proceeds, including the disposition of claims, defense costs insurer reimbursements and settlements and legal expenses related to litigation against our insurers)insurers, creates variability in our operating cash flows. We had net cash outflows of $39.6 million, $24.7 million and IPO-related costs$7.9 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Funding requirements of our defined benefit plans, including pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, can vary significantly from period to period due to changes in 2008.the fair value of plan assets and actuarial assumptions. For 2013, 2012 and 2011 cash contributions for defined benefit plans were $46.9 million, $61.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Contributions for 2012 included $18.9 million of supplemental contributions to pension plans in the years ended United Kingdom as a result of the financing of the Charter Acquisition.
During 2013, 2012 and 2011 cash payments of $47.3 million, $45.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, were made related to our restructuring initiatives. Additionally, during 2012 and 2011 cash payments of approximately $46.1 million and $1.6 million were made for advisory, legal, valuation and other professional service fees related to the Charter Acquisition.
Changes in net working capital also affected the operating cash flows for the periods presented. We define working capital as Trade receivables, net and Inventories, net reduced by Accounts payable. During 2013, net working capital decreased $110.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in inventory and an increase in payables partially offset by an increase in receivables, which increased our cash flows from operating activities. During 2012, net working capital decreased, primarily due to a decrease in inventory and an increase in payable levels, which increased our cash flows from operating activities by $78.3 million, a significant contributor to 2012 cash flows from operating activities. During 2011, net working capital increased, primarily due to an increase in receivables, which reduced our cash flows from operating activities.
During 2013, the acquisitions of GII, Clarus, ČKDK, TLT-Babcock, Alphair and Sicelub resulted in net cash outflows of $399.9 million. There were significant investing activities associated with the Charter Acquisition. The cash cost of the Charter Acquisition, which was completed in 2012, was approximately $1.7 billion, net of cash acquired. During 2011, the acquisitions of Rosscor and COT-Puritech resulted in net cash outflows of $56.3 million. During 2013, the Company also made a loan in connection with an acquisition of $31.0 million, which is expected to be repaid in 2015.
Cash flows from financing activities for 2013 were impacted by the amendments to the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement further discussed above under “—Borrowing Arrangements” and the May 2013 sale of newly issued Common stock further discussed above under “—Equity Capital.” The sale of our Common stock in May 2013 generated $319.9 million cash inflows from financing activities.
Cash flows from financing activities for 2012 were significantly impacted by the Charter Acquisition. As discussed above under “—Equity Capital,” we raised $805.0 million of cash from sales of our equity securities to the BDT Investor, Steven and Mitchell Rales, and Markel. We borrowed approximately $1.8 billion of term loans, $70.3 million of which was repaid in 2012. The additional payment of borrowings under term loans of $455 million primarily represents the repayment of borrowings under our Bank of America Credit Agreement, in conjunction with the financing of the Charter Acquisition. Additionally, financing activities for 2012 included $293 million raised in a primary offering of our Common stock settled in March 2012.
Cash flows from financing activities were also impacted by acquisitions of shares of less than wholly owned subsidiaries. During 2013, cash flows from financing activities included a $14.9 million acquisition of common and investment shares of Soldex resulting in an increase in our ownership of the subsidiary from approximately 91% to 99%. During 2012, cash flows from financing activities included a $29.3 million acquisition of shares in ESAB India Limited, a publicly traded, less than wholly owned subsidiary in which the Company acquired a controlling interest in the Charter Acquisition. This acquisition of shares was pursuant to a statutorily mandated tender offer triggered as a result of the Charter Acquisition.
Cash flows from financing activities during 2011 included net borrowings of $29.0 million, which were primarily related to the acquisitions of Rosscor and COT-Puritech.
Our Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010, 20092013 includes $290.2 held in jurisdictions outside the U.S., which may be subject to tax penalties if repatriated into the U.S. and 2008, net cash paid for asbestos liabilities, net of insurance settlements received, was $11.4 million, $19.7 million and $21.8 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2008, cash paid for IPO-related costs were $42.4 million. Additionally, in the year ended December 31, 2008, cash paid for legacy legal settlements were $11.7 million. Excluding the effect of asbestos-related cash flows, IPO-related costs, and legacy legal settlements, net cash provided by operating activities would have been $73.4 million, $58.4 million and $42.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Other changes in operating cash flow items are discussed below.
| Ÿ | Funding requirements of our defined benefit plans, including both pensions and other post-employment benefits, can vary significantly among periods due to changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial assumptions. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, cash contributions for defined benefit plans were $12.1 million, $8.3 million, and $6.4 million, respectively. |
| Ÿ | For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash payments of $16.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively, were made related to the Company’s restructuring initiatives. |
| Ÿ | Changes in working capital also affected the operating cash flows for the years presented. We define working capital as trade receivables plus inventories less accounts payable. |
| Ÿ | Working capital, excluding the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, decreased $18.7 million from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 and decreased $10.3 million from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009. These changes were primarily due to decreases in inventory levels as a result of inventory reduction programs. |
Investing activities consist primarily of purchases of fixed assets and cash paid for acquisitions.
| Ÿ | In all years presented, capital expenditures were invested in new and replacement machinery, equipment and information technology. We generally target capital expenditures at approximately 2.0% to 2.5% of revenues. |
| Ÿ | On August 19, 2010, we completed the acquisition of Baric, a supplier of highly engineered fluid handling systems primarily for lubrication applications, with its primary operations based in Blyth, United Kingdom, for $27.2 million, net of cash acquired in the transaction. |
| Ÿ | We paid $0.7 million in 2010 and $0.4 million in both 2009 and 2008 for contingent purchase price adjustments related to our 2007 acquisition of Fairmount Automation, Inc. |
| Ÿ | On August 31, 2009, we completed the acquisition of PD-Technik, a provider of marine aftermarket related products and services located in Hamburg, Germany, for $1.3 million, net of cash acquired in the transaction. |
Financing cash flows consist primarily of borrowings and repayments of indebtedness, payment of dividends to shareholders and redemptions of stock.
| · | During 2010, we repaid $8.8 million of long-term borrowings. |
| · | In the fourth quarter of 2008, we purchased 795,000 shares of our common stock for approximately $5.7 million. We did not purchase any shares in 2009 or 2010. |
��
| · | Our IPO proceeds in May 2008 were $193.0 million after deducting estimated accounting, legal and other expenses of $5.9 million. We used these proceeds to: (i) repay approximately $105.4 million of indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility, (ii) pay dividends to existing preferred stockholders of record immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO in the amount of $38.5 million, (iii) pay $11.8 million to the selling stockholders in the IPO as reimbursement for the underwriting discount incurred on the shares sold by them, and (iv) pay special bonuses of approximately $27.8 million to certain of our executives under previously adopted executive compensation plans. The remainder of the net proceeds was applied to working capital. |
| · | We paid approximately $3.3 million in deferred loan costs related to our new credit facility entered into May 13, 2008. |

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013 other than outstanding letters of credit of $14.1$398.2 million and $16.4$157.2 million of bank guarantees at December 31, 2010 and future operating lease payments of $12.7 million.payments.
The Company and its subsidiaries have in the past divested certain of its businesses and assets. In connection with these divestitures, certain representations, warranties and indemnities were made to purchasers to cover various risks or unknown liabilities. We cannot estimate the potential liability, if any, that may result from such representations, warranties and indemnities because they relate to unknown and unexpected contingencies; however, the Company doeswe do not believe that any such liabilities will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on theour results we report in ourof operations and financial statements.position. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based upon our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends and information from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what our management anticipates and different assumptions or estimates about the future could changehave a material impact on our reported results.results of operations and financial position.
We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in that they are important to the financial statements and they require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of the financial statements.

Asbestos Liabilities and Insurance Assets
Two of our
Certain subsidiaries are each one of many defendants in a large number of lawsuits that claim personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos from products manufactured with components that are alleged to have contained asbestos. Such components were acquired from third-party suppliers, and were not manufactured by any of ourthe Company’s subsidiaries nor were the subsidiaries producers or direct suppliers of asbestos. The manufactured products that are alleged to have contained asbestos generally were provided to meet the specifications of the subsidiaries’ customers, including the U.S. Navy.
The subsidiaries settle asbestos claims for amounts management considers reasonable given the facts and circumstances of each claim. The annual average settlement payment per asbestos claimant has fluctuated during the past several years. Management expects such fluctuations to continue in the future based upon, among other things, the number and type of claims settled in a particular period and the jurisdictions in which such claims arise. To date, the majority of settled claims have been dismissed for no payment.

We have projected each subsidiary’s future asbestos-related liability costs with regard to pending and future unasserted claims based upon the Nicholson methodology. The Nicholson methodology is a standard approach used by experts and has been accepted by numerous courts. This methodology is based upon risk equations, exposed population estimates, mortality rates, and other demographic statistics. In applying the Nicholson methodology for each subsidiary we performed: 1)(1) an analysis of the estimated population likely to have been exposed or claim to have been exposed to products manufactured by the subsidiaries based upon national studies undertaken of the population of workers believed to have been exposed to asbestos; 2) the use(2) a review of epidemiological and demographic studies to estimate the number of potentially exposed people that would be likely to develop asbestos-related diseases in each year; 3)(3) an analysis of the subsidiaries’ recent claims history to estimate likely filing rates for these diseases;diseases and 4)(4) an analysis of the historical asbestos liability costs to develop average values, which vary by disease type, jurisdiction and the nature of claim, to determine an estimate of costs likely to be associated with currently pending and projected asbestos claims. Our projections, based upon the Nicholson methodology, estimate both claims and the estimated cash outflows related to the resolution of such claims for periods up to and including the endpoint of asbestos studies referred to in item 2)(2) above. It is our policy to record a liability for asbestos-related liability costs for the longest period of time that we can reasonably estimate. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded for any costs which may be paid after the next 15 years.
Projecting future asbestos-related liability costs is subject to numerous variables that are difficult to predict, including, among others, the number of claims that might be received, the type and severity of the disease alleged by each claimant, the latency period associated with asbestos exposure, dismissal rates, costs of medical treatment, the financial resources of other companies that are co-defendants in the claims, funds available in post-bankruptcy trusts, uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, including fluctuations in the timing of court actions and rulings, and the impact of potential changes in legislative or judicial standards, including potential tort reform. Furthermore, any projections with respect to these variables are subject to even greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. These trend factors have both positive and negative effects on the dynamics of asbestos litigation in the tort system and the related best estimate of our asbestos liability, and these effects do not move in linear fashion but rather change over multiple year periods. Accordingly, we monitor these trend
factors over time and periodically assessesassess whether an alternative forecast period is appropriate. Taking these factors into account and the inherent uncertainties, we believe that we can reasonably estimate the asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims that will be resolved in the next 15 years and have recorded that liability as our best estimate. While it is reasonably possible that the subsidiaries will incur costs after this period, we do not believe the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss is estimable at the current time. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded for any costs which may be paid after the next 15 years. Defense costs associated with asbestos-related liabilities as well as costs incurred related to litigation against the subsidiaries’ insurers are expensed as incurred.
We assessed the subsidiaries’ existing insurance arrangements and agreements, estimated the applicability of insurance coverage for existing and expected future claims, analyzed publicly available information bearing on the current creditworthiness and solvency of the various insurers, and employed such insurance allocation methodologies as we believed appropriate to ascertain the probable insurance recoveries for asbestos liabilities. The analysis took into account self-insurance retentions, policy exclusions, pending litigation, liability caps and gaps in coverage, existing and potential insolvencies of insurers as well as how legal and defense costs will be covered under the insurance policies.
During the third quarter of 2009, an analysis of claims data including filing and dismissal rates, alleged disease mix, filing jurisdiction, as well as settlement values resulted in the determination that the Company should revise its rolling 15-year estimate of asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims. The analysis reflected that a statistically significant increase in mesothelioma filings had occurred and was expected to continue for both subsidiaries. As a result, the Company recorded an $11.6 million pretax charge in the third quarter of 2009, which was comprised of an increase to its asbestos-related liabilities of $111.3 million offset by expected insurance recoveries of $99.7 million.
Each subsidiary has separate insurance coverage acquired prior to Companyour ownership of each independent entity. In itsour evaluation of the insurance asset, the Company usedwe use differing insurance allocation methodologies for each subsidiary based upon the applicable law pertaining to the affected subsidiary.
In November 2008, one of the subsidiaries entered into a settlement agreement with the primary and umbrella carrier governing all aspects of the carrier’s past and future handling of the asbestos related bodily injury claims against the subsidiary. As a result of this agreement, during the third quarter of 2008, the Company increased its insurance asset by $7.0 million attributable to resolution of a dispute concerning certain pre-1966 insurance policies and recorded a corresponding pretax gain. The Company reimbursed the primary insurer for $7.6 million in deductibles and retrospective premiums in the fourth quarter of 2008 and has no further liability to the insurer under these provisions of the primary policies.
For this subsidiary, the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled on October 14, 2009, that asbestos-related costs should be allocated among excess insurers using an “all sums” allocation (which allows an insured to collect all sums paid in connection with a claim from any insurer whose policy is triggered, up to the policy’s applicable limits) and that the subsidiary has rights to excess insurance policies purchased by a former owner of the business. Based upon this ruling mandating an “all sums” allocation, as well as the language of the underlying insurance policies and the assertion and belief that defense costs are outside policy limits, the Company, as of October 2, 2009, increased its future expected recovery percentage from 67% to 90% of asbestos-related costs following the exhaustion of its primary and umbrella layers of insurance and recorded a pretax gain of $17.3 million. The subsidiary expects to be responsible for approximately 10% of its future asbestos-related costs.
During the third quarter of 2010, an insolvent carrier that had written approximately $1.4 million in limits for which this subsidiary had assumed no recovery made a cash settlement offer of approximately $0.7 million. As such, the subsidiary recorded a gain for this amount and a receivable from the insurer.
The subsidiary was notified during the third quarter of 2010 by the primary and umbrella carrier who had been fully defending and indemnifying the subsidiary for twenty years that the limits of liability of its primary and umbrella layer policies had been exhausted. Since then, the subsidiary has sought coverage from certain excess layer insurers whose terms and conditions follow form to the umbrella carrier. Certain first-layer excess insurers have defended and/or indemnified the subsidiary and/or agreed to defend and/or indemnify the subsidiary, subject to their reservations of rights and their applicable policy limits. Litigation between this subsidiary and its excess insurers is continuing and it is anticipated that the trial phase will be completed in 2011. The subsidiary continues to work with its excess insurers to obtain defense and indemnity payments while the litigation is proceeding. Given the uncertainties of litigation, there are a variety of possible outcomes, including but not limited to the subsidiary being required to fund all or a portion of the subsidiary’s defense and indemnity payments until such time a final ruling orders payment by the insurers. While not impacting the results of operations, the funding requirement could range up to $10 million per quarter until final resolution.
In 2003, the other subsidiary filed a lawsuit against a large number of its insurers and its former parent to resolve a variety of disputes concerning insurance for asbestos-related bodily injury claims asserted against it. Although none of these insurance companies contested coverage, they disputed the timing, reasonableness and allocation of payments.
For this subsidiary it was determined by court ruling in the fourth quarter of 2007, that the allocation methodology mandated by the New Jersey courts will apply. Further court rulings in December of 2009, clarified the allocation calculation related to amounts currently due from insurers as well as amounts the Company expects to be reimbursed for asbestos-related costs incurred in future periods. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company increased its receivable for past costs by $11.9 million and decreased its insurance asset for future costs by $9.8 million and recorded a pretax gain of $2.1 million.
In connection with this litigation, the court engaged a special master to review the appropriate information and recommend an allocation formula in accordance with applicable law and the facts of the case. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the court-appointed special allocation master made its recommendation which has not yet been and may not be accepted by the court. Based upon the recommendation, the Company reduced the current asbestos receivable by $2.3 million, increased the long-term asbestos asset by $0.4 million and recorded a net charge to asbestos liability and defense costs of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2010. As a result of the current status of this litigation, we decreased the amount currently due from insurers by $0.5 million and decreased the insurance asset for future periods by $1.6 million and recorded a pretax loss of $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. We currently anticipate that the trial phase in this litigation will be complete in 2011. We cannot predict the outcome of this litigation with certainty, or whether the outcome will be more or less favorable than our best estimate included in the consolidated financial statements. Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, we would estimate the range of possible results from positive $30 million to negative $30 million relative to our reported insurance assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The timing of any cash inflows or outflows related to these matters cannot be estimated. The subsidiary expects to be responsible for approximately 15% of all future asbestos-related costs.
The Company has established reserves of $429.7 million and $443.8 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for the probable and reasonably estimable asbestos-related liability cost it believes the subsidiaries will pay through the next 15 years. It has also established recoverables of $374.4 million and $389.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for the insurance recoveries that are deemed probable during the same time period. Net of these recoverables, the expected cash outlay on a non-discounted basis for asbestos-related bodily injury claims over the next 15 years was $55.3 million and $54.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company has recorded a receivable for liability and defense costs previously paid in the amount of $51.8 million and $52.8 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for which insurance recovery is deemed probable. The Company has recorded the reserves for the asbestos liabilities as “Accrued asbestos liability” and “Long-term asbestos liability” and the related insurance recoveries as “Asbestos insurance asset” and “Long-term asbestos insurance asset”. The receivable for previously paid liability and defense costs is recorded in “Asbestos insurance receivable” and “Long-term asbestos insurance receivable”. The Company also has reflected in other accrued liabilities $23.3 million and $15.8 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for overpayments by certain insurers and unpaid legal costs related to defending itself against asbestos-related liability claims and legal action against the Company’s insurers.
The expense (income) related to these liabilities and legal defense was $7.9 million, net of estimated insurance recoveries, for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to ($2.2) million and ($4.8) million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Legal costs related to the subsidiaries’ action against their asbestos insurers were $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $11.7 million and $17.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Management’s analyses are based on currently known facts and a number of assumptions. However, projecting future events, such as new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolving each claim, coverage issues among layers of insurers, the method in which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies, interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships, the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, the amount of remaining insurance available, as well as the numerous uncertainties inherent in asbestos litigation could cause the actual liabilities and insurance recoveries to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded which could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
As of December 31, 2013, we had total asbestos liabilities, including current portion, of $409.4 million and total asbestos insurance assets, including current portion, of $395.3 million. See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our asbestos liabilities and insurance assets.
Retirement Benefits
Pension obligations and other post-retirement benefits are actuarially determined and are affected by several assumptions, including the discount rate, assumed annual rates of return on plan assets, and per capita cost of covered health care benefits. Changes in discount rate and differences from actual results for each assumption will affect the amounts of pension expense and other post-retirement expense recognized in future periods. These assumptions may also have an effect on the amount and timing of future cash contributions. See Note 1113, “Defined Benefit Plans” in the accompanying Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the costs in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired associated with our acquisitions.
We evaluate the recoverability of goodwillGoodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount. Goodwill isand indefinite-lived intangible assets are considered to be impaired when the net book value of a reporting unit or asset exceeds its estimated fair value.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company changed the date of its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing from the last day of the fourth quarter to the first day of the fourth quarter. The Company adopted this change in timing in order to provide additional time to quantify the fair value of our reporting units and, if necessary, to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. This change in timing will also reduce the likelihood that the annual impairment analysis would not be completed by the required filing date of the Company’s annual financial statements. The revised date also better aligns with our strategic planning and budgeting process, which is an integral component of the impairment testing. In accordance with GAAP, the Company will also perform interim impairment testing should circumstances requiring it arise. We believe this accounting change is preferable and does not result in the delay, acceleration, or avoidance of an impairment charge.
In the evaluation of goodwillGoodwill for impairment, we first compareassess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of thea reporting unit toentity is less than its carrying value. If we determine that it is not more likely than not for a reporting unit’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the fair value is not performed. If we determine that it is more likely than not for a reporting unit’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the reporting entity’s fair value is performed and compared to the carrying value of that entity. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwillGoodwill of that reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the impairment analysis is performed. In step two of the analysis, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwillGoodwill over its implied fair value should such a circumstance arise.
We measure fair value of reporting units based on a present value of future discounted cash flows or a market valuation approach. The discounted cash flows model indicates the fair value of the reporting units based on the present value of the cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate in the future. Significant estimates in the discounted cash flows model include: the weighted average cost of capital; long-term rate of growth and profitability of our business; and working capital effects. The market valuation approach indicates the fair value of the business based on a comparison of the Company against certain market information. Significant estimates in the market approach model include identifying appropriate market multiples and assessing earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in estimating the fair value of the reporting units.
In the evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If we determine that it is not more likely than not for the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the fair value is not performed. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying value, a calculation is performed and compared to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. We measure the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets using the “relief from royalty” method. Significant estimates in this approach include royalty and discount rates for each trade name evaluated.
The analysisanalyses performed as of September 28, 2013, September 29, 2012, and October 2, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and 20081, 2011 indicated no impairment to be present. However, actualpresent, except for $0.2 million of impairment loss related to an indefinite-lived intangible asset included in the gas- and fluid-handling segment for the year ended December 31, 2013. This impairment results from a decline in anticipated revenue related to this asset. The impairment loss is included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the asset under the relief from royalty method and its carrying value as of the date of the impairment test. The fair value of that intangible asset of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2013 is not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Actual results could differ from our estimates and projections, which would affect the assessment of impairment. As of December 31, 2010,2013, we have goodwillGoodwill of $172.3$2.4 billion and indefinite lived trade names of $412.3 million that isare subject to at least annual review offor impairment. See Note 107, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” in the accompanying Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we take into account various factors, including the expected level of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If actual results differ from the assumptions made in the evaluation of our valuation allowance, we record a change in valuation allowance through income tax expense in the period such determination is made.
During the year ending December 31, 2010,2013, the valuation allowance increased from $45.1$357.6 million to $52.9 million with $4.2 million$358.4 million.
Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and $3.6 million ofmeasurement attribute for a position taken in a tax return. Under this standard, we must presume the increase recognized in income tax expenseposition will be examined by a relevant tax authority and in other comprehensive income, respectively. The $7.8 million net increase in 2010 was primarily attributable to U.S. deferred tax assets we believe may not be realized. Consideration was given to U.S. tax planning strategies and future U.S. taxable income as to how much of the total U.S. deferred tax asset could be realized on adetermine whether it is more likely than not basis.that the income tax position will be sustained upon examination based on its technical merits. An income tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is then measured to determine the amount of the benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. Liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits are reviewed periodically and are adjusted as events occur that effect our estimates, such as the availability of new information, the lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, the conclusion of tax audits and, if applicable, the conclusion of any court proceedings. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of our liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, our effective income tax rate in a given period could be materially affected. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties were $68.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and are included in Other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The determination of our provision for income tax requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. We establish reserves when, despite the belief that the tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions may be successfully challenged. When facts and circumstances change, the reserves are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Tax benefits are not recognized until minimum recognition thresholds are met as prescribed by applicable accounting standards.39
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenuesrevenue and costs from product sales when title passes to the buyer and all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, there are no further obligations to customers, and collectibility is probable. Product delivery occurs when title and risk of loss transfer to the customer. Our shipping terms vary based on the contract. If any significant obligations to the customer with respect to such sale remain to be fulfilled following shipment, typically involving obligations relating to installation and acceptance by the buyer, revenue recognition is deferred until such obligations have been fulfilled. Any customer allowances and discounts are recorded as a reduction in reported revenues at the time of sale because these allowances reflect a reduction in the purchasesales price for the products purchased.sold. These allowances and discounts are estimated based on historical experience and known trends. Revenue related to service agreements is recognized as revenue over the term of the agreement.
We recognize revenue and cost of sales on gas-handling construction projects using the “percentage of completion method” in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entirety of the contract. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as a component of Trade receivables and any billings of customers in excess of recognized revenues are recorded as a component of Accounts payable. As of December 31, 2013, there were $231.3 million of revenues in excess of billings and $214.8 million of billings in excess of revenues on construction contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We have contracts in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Significant management judgments and estimates, including estimated costs to complete projects, must be made and used in connection with revenue recognized during each period. Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. The revisions are recorded in income in the period in which they are determined using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends of the entire pool of customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.6$31.3 million and $2.8$16.5 million as of December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, respectively. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances maycould be required.
The foregoing criteria are used for all classes of customers including original equipment manufacturers, distributors, government contractors and other end users.
Stock-Based Compensation
Pursuant to our 2008 omnibus incentive plan, our board of directors may make awards in the form of shares of restricted stock, stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock-based awards. We measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with limited exceptions. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period or vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. We have equity incentive plans to encourage employees and non-employee directors to remain with us and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For purposes of calculating stock-based compensation, the fair value of restricted stock or restricted stock units granted is equal to the market value of a share of common stock on the date of the grant. For grants that were awarded on May 7, 2008 in conjunction with our initial public offering, we used the initial public offering price as the fair value of the restricted stock and restricted stock units granted. For stock options, we estimate the fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes model requires a number of complex and subjective variables. One key input into the model is the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the initial public offering price in the case of stock optionsdetailed information regarding recently issued on May 7, 2008. Other key variables in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include the expected volatility of our common stock price, the expected term of the award and the risk-free interest rate. In addition, we are required to estimate forfeitures of unvested awards when recognizing compensation expense. Significant assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were a stock price volatility of 52.2% and 32.5%, respectively, an expected option life of 4.5 years, a risk-free interest rate based on the 5-year treasury note yield on the date of grant ranging from 1.1% to 2.6% in 2010 and 1.9% to 2.5% in 2009 and a 0% expected dividend yield.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $3.1 million, $2.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively. We cannot predict with certainty the impact of stock-compensation expense to be recognized in the future because the actual amount of stock-based compensation expense we record in any fiscal period will be dependent on a number of factors, including the number of shares subject to the stock awards issued, the fair value of our common stock at the time of issuanceaccounting pronouncements and the expected volatility ofimpact on our stock price over time. However, based on awards we currently expect to make in 2011, stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2011 is projected to be approximately $3.5 million.

ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in short-term interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating and financing activities.
Information concerning market risk for the year ended December 31, 2010 is discussed below.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to exposure from changes in short-term interest rates basedrelated to interest payments on our financing activities.borrowing arrangements. Under our credit facility,the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement, all of our borrowings at as of December 31, 20102013 are variable rate facilities based on LIBOR or EURIBOR. In order to mitigate our interest rate risk, we periodically enter into interest rate swap or collar agreements. A hypothetical increase in the interest rate of 1.00% during 2010 on our variable rate debt that is not hedged2013 would have increased our interest costInterest expense by approximately $0.3$16.4 million.
On June 24, 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap with an aggregate notional value of $75.0 million whereby we exchanged our LIBOR-based variable rate interest for a fixed rate of 4.1375%. The notional value decreased to $50.0 million on June 30, 2010 and will decrease to $25.0 million on June 30, 2011, and expires on June 29, 2012. The fair value of the swap agreement, based on third-party quotes, was a liability of $1.8 million at December 31, 2010. The swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge, and therefore changes in its fair value are recorded as an adjustment to other comprehensive income.
Exchange Rate Risk
We have manufacturing sites throughout the world and sell our products globally. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar and against the currencies of other countries in which we manufacture and sell products and services. During 2010,2013, approximately 66%80% of our sales were derived from operations outside the U.S., We have significant manufacturing operations in European countries that are not part of the Eurozone. Sales revenues are
more highly weighted toward the Euro and U.S. dollar. We also have significant contractual obligations in U.S. dollars that are met with approximately 62% generatedcash flows in other currencies as well as U.S. dollars. To better match revenue and expense as well as cash needs from contractual liabilities, we regularly enter into cross currency swaps and forward contracts.
We also face exchange rate risk from our investments in subsidiaries owned and operated in foreign countries. The Euro denominated borrowings under the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement, provide a natural hedge to a portion of our European operations.net asset position. The effect of a change in currency exchange rates on our net investment in international subsidiaries, net of the translation effect of the Company’s euro denominated borrowings, is reflected in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss component of Equity. A 10% depreciation in major currencies, relative to the U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2013 (net of the translation effect of our euro denominated borrowings) would result in a reduction in Equity of approximately $150 million.
We also face exchange rate risk from transactions with customers in countries outside the U.S. and from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Although we use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency for reporting purposes, we have manufacturing sites throughout the world, and a substantial portion of our costs are incurred and sales are generated in foreign currencies. Costs incurred and sales recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the U.S. are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar. In particular, we havethe Company has more sales in European currencies than we haveit has expenses in those currencies. Therefore,Although a significant portion of this difference is hedged, when European currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar, operating profits are increased or decreased, respectively. To assist with
We have generally accepted the matchingexposure to exchange rate movements without using derivative financial instruments to manage this risk. Both positive and negative movements in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar will, therefore, continue to affect the reported amount of revenues and expenses andsales, profit, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, we may periodically enter into derivative instruments such as cross currency swaps or forward contracts. To illustrate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, assuming a 10% increase in average foreign exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar, 2010 income before income taxes would have increased by $3.7 million.our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials used in our production processes. Commodity futures contracts are periodically used to manage such exposure. As of December 31, 2010,2013, we had no open commodity futures contracts.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Colfax Corporation
We have audited Colfax Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria). Colfax Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Colfax Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2013, based on the COSO criteria.criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Colfax Corporation as of December 31, 20102013 and 20092012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income shareholders’(loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20102013 of Colfax Corporation and our report dated February 25, 201112, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Colfax Corporation at December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010,2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statementsCompany’s Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Less than wholly owned subsidiaries, including joint ventures, are consolidated when it is determined that the Company has a controlling financial interest, which is generally determined when the Company holds a majority voting interest. When protective rights, substantive rights or other factors exist, further analysis is performed in order to determine whether or not there is a controlling financial interest. The Company owns 44%Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of consolidated subsidiaries and the common shares of Sistemas Centrales de Lubricación S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company and 28% of the common shares of Allweiler Al-Farid Pumps Company (S.A.E.), an Egyptian Corporation. These investments are recorded in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, $7.2 million and $6.6 million are recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company records itsnoncontrolling parties’ ownership share of these investments’ net earnings, based on its economic ownership percentage. Accordingly, $1.8 million, $1.5 million and $1.5 million of earnings from equity investments were includedis presented as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.noncontrolling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in joint ventures, where the Company has a significant influence but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments accounted for under the equity method are initially recorded at the amount of the Company’s initial investment and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividends paid. All equity investments are reviewed periodically for indications of other than temporary impairment, including, but not limited to, significant and sustained decreases in quoted market prices or a series of historic and projected operating losses by investees. If the decline in fair value is considered to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recorded and the investment is written down to a new carrying value. Investments in joint ventures acquired in a business combination are recognized in the opening balance sheet at fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generally recognizes revenues and costs from product sales when title passes to the buyer and all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed andor determinable, product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, there are no further obligations to customers, and collectibilitycollectability is probable.reasonably assured. Product delivery occurs when title and risk of loss transfer to the customer. The Company’s shipping terms vary based on the contract. If any significant obligations to the customer with respect to such sale remain to be fulfilled following shipments, typically involving obligations relating to installation and acceptance by the buyer, revenue recognition is deferred until such obligations have been fulfilled. Any customer allowances and discounts are recorded as a reduction in reported revenues at the time of sale because these allowances reflect a reduction in the sales price for the products sold. These allowances and discounts are estimated based on historical experience and known trends. Revenue related to service agreements is recognized as revenue over the term of the agreement. Progress billings are generally shown as a reduction of Inventories, net unless such billings are in excess of accumulated costs, in which case such balances are included in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company recognizes revenue and cost of sales on gas-handling construction projects using the “percentage of completion method” in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entirety of the contract. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as a component of Trade receivables and any billings of customers in excess of recognized revenues are recorded as a component of Accounts payable. As of December 31, 2013, there were $231.3 million of revenues in excess of billings and $214.8 million of billings in excess of revenues on construction contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2012, there were $97.1 million of revenues in excess of billings and $178.3 million of billings in excess of revenues on construction contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
COLFAX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
In some cases, customerThe Company has contracts in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Significant management judgments and estimates, including estimated costs to complete projects, must be made and used in connection with revenue recognized during each period. Current estimates may include multiple deliverables for product shipments and installation or maintenance labor. Deliverablesbe revised as additional information becomes available. The revisions are recorded in income in the period in which they are determined to be separate unitsusing the cumulative catch-up method of accounting if they have standalone value and there is no general right of refund. Revenues fromaccounting. See Note 16, “Segment Information” for sales by major product shipments on this type of contract are recognized when title and risk of loss transfer to the customer, and the service revenue components are recognized as services are performed.
In some cases, customers may request that we store products on their behalf until the product is needed. Under these arrangements, revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.
Amounts billed for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling expenses are recorded as cost of sales. Progress billings are generally shown as a reduction of inventory unless such billings are in excess of accumulated costs, in which case such balances are included in accrued liabilities. The Company accrues for bad debts, as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses, based upon estimatesCost of amounts deemed uncollectible and a specific review of significant delinquent accounts factoring in current and expected economic conditions. Product return reserves are accrued at the time of sale based on historical rates, and are recorded as a reduction to net sales.

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the costs in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired associated with acquisitions by the Company. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwillGoodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount. Goodwill is considered to be impaired when the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company changed the date of its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing from the last day of the fourth quarter to the first day of the fourth quarter. The Company adopted this change in timing in order to provide additional time to quantify the fair value of our reporting units and, if necessary, to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. This change in timing will also reduce the likelihood that the annual impairment analysis would not be completed by the required filing date of the Company’s annual financial statements. The revised date also better aligns with our strategic planning and budgeting process, which is an integral component of the impairment testing. In accordance with GAAP, the Company will also perform interim impairment testing should circumstances requiring it arise. We believe this accounting change is preferable and does not result in the delay, acceleration, or avoidance of an impairment charge.
In the evaluation of goodwillGoodwill for impairment, the Company first comparesassesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of thea reporting unit toentity is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines that it is not more likely than not for a reporting unit’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the fair value is not performed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not for a reporting unit’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the reporting entity’s fair value is performed and compared to the carrying value of that entity. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill ofGoodwill attributable to that reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the impairment analysis is performed. In step two of the analysis, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwillGoodwill over its implied fair value should such a circumstance arise.
The Company measures fair value of reporting units based on a present value of future discounted cash flows or a market valuation approach. The discounted cash flows model indicates the fair value of the reporting units based on the present value of the cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate in the future. Significant estimates in the discounted cash flows model include: the weighted averageweighted-average cost of capital; long-term rate of growth and profitability of ourthe Company’s business; and working capital effects. The market valuation approach indicates the fair value of the business based on a comparison of the Company against certain market information. Significant estimates in the market approach model include identifying appropriate market multiples and assessing earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in estimating the fair value of the reporting units.
In the evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines that it is not likely for the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the fair value is not performed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying value, a calculation is performed and compared to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company measures the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the “relief from royalty” method. Significant estimates in this approach include royalty and discount rates for each trade name evaluated.
The analysis performed as of October 2, 2010,September 28, 2013, indicated no impairment to be present, except for $0.2 million of impairment loss related to an indefinite-lived intangible asset included in the gas- and fluid-handling segment for the year ended December 31, 20092013. This impairment results from a decline in anticipated revenue related to this asset. The impairment loss is included in Selling, general and 2008administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the asset under the relief from royalty method and its carrying value as of the date of the impairment test. The fair value of that intangible asset of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2013 is included in Level Three of the fair value hierarchy and is not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The impairment analyses performed as of September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 indicated no impairment to be present.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other than Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Intangibles primarily represent acquired customer relationships, acquired order backlog, acquired technology and software license agreements and patents.agreements. Acquired order backlog is amortized in the same period the corresponding revenue is recognized. A portion of the Company’s acquired customer relationships is being amortized over seven years based on the present value of the future cash flows expected to be generated from the acquired customers. All other intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally ranging from threetwo to 1520 years.
The Company assesses its long-lived assets other than goodwillGoodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be fully recoverable. To analyze recoverability, the Company projects undiscounted net future cash flows over the remaining lives of such assets. If these projected cash flows are less than the carrying amounts, an impairment loss would be recognized, resulting in a write-down of the assets with a corresponding charge

to earnings. The impairment loss is measured based upon the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair values of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amounts or fair value less cost to sell. Management determines fair value using the discounted cash flow method or other accepted valuation techniques. The Company recorded asset impairment losses related to facility closures totaling $0.6$1.9 million and $3.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as a component of Restructuring and other related charges in 2009the Consolidated Statements of Operations and $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense in connection with the closureConsolidated Statement of two facilities.

Income Taxes
Income taxes for the Company are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements and their respective tax bases.basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to applybe applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is generally recognized in Provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are recorded if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred income tax assetassets will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we takethe Company takes into account various factors, including the expected level of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If actual results differ fromAny changes in judgment about the assumptions madevaluation allowance are recorded through Provision for income taxes and are based on changes in facts and circumstances regarding realizability of deferred tax assets.
The Company must presume that an income tax position taken in a tax return will be examined by the relevant tax authority and determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. An income tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the evaluation of our valuation allowance, we recordfinancial statements. The Company establishes a change in valuation allowance throughliability for unrecognized income tax expense or other comprehensivebenefits for income tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the respective taxing authority to the extent such tax positions reduce the Company’s income tax liability. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits in the period such determination is made.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gains and Losses
The Company’s financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currencies of the Company’s operating subsidiaries are generally the local currencies of the countries in which each subsidiary is located. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The amounts recorded in each year are net of income taxes to the extent the underlying equity balances in the entities are not deemed to be permanently reinvested.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated for inclusion in the consolidated balance sheetsConsolidated Balance Sheets are recognized in Selling, general and administrative expense or Interest expense in the consolidatedConsolidated Statements of Operations for that period.

In connection with the Charter Acquisition, the Company incurred advisory, legal, valuation and other professional service fees, termination payments to Charter executives and realized losses on acquisition-related foreign exchange derivatives, which comprised Charter Acquisition-related expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 14, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments. Excluding Charter Acquisition-related expenses, the Company incurred advisory, legal, valuation and other professional service fees of $4.3 million, $3.1 million and $0.1 million, during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in connection with completed acquisitions which are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations included $59.9 million of Net sales associated with the acquisitions consummated in the current year. Net income available to Colfax common shareholders associated with acquisitions consummated in the current year was not material. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations included $3.2 billion and $21.6 million of Net sales associated with the acquisitions of Charter and Soldex, respectively. The Net loss attributable to Colfax Corporation common shareholders for Soldex included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $1.7 million. Due to the refinancing of the Company's borrowing arrangements, the restructuring of the Corporate function of both entities into a single corporate office and numerous other shared resources given the scale of the Charter Acquisition, quantification of the earnings included in the consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2012 related to Charter is impracticable.

(2) For periods subsequent to April 23, 2013, Net income per share - dilutive was calculated in accordance with the if-converted method, as further discussed below. However, for the year ended December 31, 2013, the calculation under this method was anti-dilutive.
On April 23, 2013, the Company and BDT CF Acquisition Vehicle, LLC (the “BDT Investor”) amended the Certificate of Designations of Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock of Colfax Corporation to eliminate the right of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to share proportionately in any dividends or distributions made in respect of the Company’s Common stock. The BDT Investor is the sole holder of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. For periods prior to April 23, 2013, Net income available to Colfax Corporation common shareholders was allocated to participating securities, while any losses for those periods were not allocated to the participating securities. Effective April 23, 2013, the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is no longer considered a participating security. For periods subsequent to April 23, 2013, the Company’s Net income per share - dilutive is computed using the “if-converted” method. Under the “if-converted” method, Net income per share - dilutive is calculated under the assumption that the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted into shares of Common stock as of the beginning of the respective period.

For purposes of the balance sheet presentation, the Company nets current and non-current tax assets and liabilities within each taxing jurisdiction. The above table is presented prior to the netting of the current and non-current deferred tax items. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its net deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis by considering whether net deferred tax assets will be realized on a more likely than not basis. To the extent a portion or all of the applicable deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold, a valuation allowance is recorded. During the year endingended December 31, 2010,2013, the valuation allowance increased from $45.1$357.6 million to $52.9$358.4 million with $4.2 million and $3.6$30.6 million of thean increase recognized in Provision for income tax expensetaxes and otheran increase of $2.4 million attributable to acquisitions made during the year, which were offset by a decrease of $27.2 million recognized in Other comprehensive income, respectively. The $7.8a net $3.4 million net increasedecrease related to international tax rate changes and reclassifications and a $1.6 million decrease related to changes in 2010 was primarily attributableforeign currency rates. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the valuation allowance increased from $79.9 million to U.S. deferred tax assets$357.6 million with $103.8 million recognized in Provision for income taxes, $153.3 million recorded in the Company believes may not be realized.opening accounts of the Charter Acquisition and $20.6 million recognized in Other comprehensive income. Consideration was given to U.S. tax planning strategies and future U.S. taxable income as to how much of the relevant deferred tax asset could be realized on a more likely than not basis.
The Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $130.5$275.6 million expiring in years 2021 through 2030,2032, and alternative minimum tax credits of approximately $1.9$7.7 million that may be carried forward indefinitely. Tax credit carryforwards include foreign tax credits that have been offset by a valuation allowance. We experienced an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as a result of the IPO. The Company’s ability to use these various carryforwards existing at the time of the ownership change to offset any taxable income generated in future taxable periods after the ownership change may be limited under Section 382 and other federal tax provisions.

The Company is routinely examined by tax authorities around the world. Tax examinations remain in process in multiple countries, including but not limited to Sweden, Indonesia, France, Germany, Finland, Mexico, Brazil and various states. The Company files numerous group and separate tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, as well as many international jurisdictions. In the U.S., tax years dating back to 2006 remain subject to examination, as well as the 2003 tax year due to tax attributes available to be carried forward to open or future tax years. With some exceptions, other major tax jurisdictions generally are not subject to tax examinations for years beginning before 2005.
The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits were $68.9 million and $85.7 million as of December 31, 20102013 and 2009 totaled $8.92012, respectively, inclusive of $13.2 million and $9.3$16.5 million, inclusiverespectively, of $0.3interest and penalties. These amounts were offset by tax benefits of $0.1 million and $0.5 million as of interest and penalties, respectively. These amounts were offset in part by tax benefits of approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, respectively. The net liabilities for uncertain tax positions for the years endedas of December 31, 20102013 and 20092012 were $8.3$68.8 million and $8.6$85.2 million, respectively, and if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate.
The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions for post-adoption periods as a component of Provision for income tax expense. The interesttaxes, which was $4.0 million, $1.3 million and penalty expense recorded in income tax expense attributed to uncertain tax positions$0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 20092013, 2012 and 2008 was $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million,2011, respectively.
The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S., state, and international locations. The Company’s significant operations outside the U.S. are located in Germany and Sweden. In Sweden, tax years 2005 to 2010 and in Germany, tax years 2006 to 2010 remain subject to examination. In the U.S., tax years 2005 and beyond generally remain open for examination by U.S. and state tax authorities as well as tax years ending in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003 that have U.S. tax attributes available that have been carried forward to open tax years or are available to be carried forward to future tax years.
Due to the difficulty in predicting with reasonable certainty when tax audits will be fully resolved and closed, the range of reasonably possible significant increases or decreases in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits that may occur within the next 12 months is difficult to ascertain. Currently, we estimatethe Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the expiration of various statutes of limitations, and resolution of tax audits and court decisions may reduce ourits tax expense in the next 12 months ranging from zeroup to $5.7$2.3 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)The Company has relocated its Richmond, Virginia corporate headquarters to the Columbia, Maryland area, in order to provide improved access to international travel and to its key advisors. In connection with the move, the Company has incurred $0.6 million of employee termination benefit costs, reflected in restructuring and other related charges, and $0.4 million of other relocation related costs in 2010, which are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect to incur an additional $1.5 million of employee termination benefit costs, operating lease exit costs and other relocation expenses related to the headquarters relocation in the first six months of 2011.
During the second quarter of 2009, we closed a repair facility in Aberdeen, NC. Further, during the fourth quarter of 2009, we closed a manufacturing facility in Sanford, NC and moved its production to the Company’s facilities in Monroe, NC and Columbia, KY. We recorded non-cash impairment charges of $0.6 million to reduce the carrying value of the real estate and equipment at these facilities to their estimated fair values.
We recognize the cost of involuntary termination benefits at the communication date or ratably over any remaining expected future service period. Voluntary termination benefits are recognized as a liability and a loss when employees accept the offer and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We record asset impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of long-lived assets that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Fair values are estimated using observable inputs including third party appraisals and quoted market prices.

Rales and Steven M. Rales, each of whom were beneficial owners of 20.9% of Colfax’s Common stock at the time of the sale, and Markel. Thomas S. Gayner, a member of Colfax’s Board of Directors, is President and Chief Investment Officer of Markel.

Share-Based Payments
The Company adopted the Colfax Corporation 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan on April 21, 2008, as amended and restated on April 2, 2012 (the “2008 Plan”). The 2008 Plan provides the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors discretion in creating employee equity incentives. Awards under the 2008 Plan may be made in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based awards.
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense related to share-based payments based on the fair value of the instruments issued. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as payroll costs of the employees receiving the awards are recorded in the same line item.
The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the following amounts related to stock-based compensation:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, |
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2011 |
| | (In thousands) |

| | $ | 9,373 |
| | $ | 4,908 |
|
Deferred tax benefit | | 434 |
| | 305 |
| | 1,719 |
|
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $25.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based awards that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years. The intrinsic value of awards exercised or converted was $9.2 million, $9.9 million and $3.8 million during the years ended December 31, 20102013, 2012 and 20092011, respectively.
Stock Options
Under the 2008 Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase Common stock, with a maximum term of 10 years at a purchase price equal to the market value of the Company’s Common stock on the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to a holder of 10% of the Company’s outstanding Common stock, the Company may grant options to purchase Common stock with a maximum term of 5 years, at a purchase price equal to 110% of the market value of the Company’s Common stock on the date of grant.
COLFAX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards is based upon the grant-date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. The following table shows the weighted-average assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as well as the weighted-average fair value of options granted:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, |
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2011 |
Expected period that options will be outstanding (in years) | | 4.90 |
| | 5.41 |

Interest rate (based on U.S. Treasury yields at the time of grant) | | 1.06 | % | | 0.99 | % | | 2.10 | % |

|
Weighted-average fair value of options granted | | $ | 18.07 |
| | $ | 13.14 |
| | $ | 9.68 |
|
Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of comparable public companies. The Company considers historical data to estimate employee termination within the valuation model. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. Since the Company has limited option exercise history, it has generally elected to estimate the expected life of an award based upon the Securities and Exchange Commission-approved “simplified method” noted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 with the continued use of this method extended under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.

(1) | The aggregate intrinsic value is based upon the difference between the Company’s closing stock price at the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the exercise price of the stock option for in-the-money stock options. The intrinsic value of outstanding stock options fluctuates based upon the trading value of the Company’s Common stock. |
Restricted Stock Units
Other intangible assetsUnder the 2008 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may award performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), the vesting of which is contingent upon meeting various performance goals. The vesting of the stock units is determined based on whether the Company achieves the applicable performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. If the performance criteria are satisfied, the units are subject to additional time vesting requirements, by which units will vest fully in two equal installments on the fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant date, provided the individual remains an employee during this period. Under the 2008 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may award non-performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to select executives, employees and outside directors. The Compensation Committee determines the terms and conditions of each award, including the restriction period and other criteria applicable to the awards. Directors may also elect to defer their annual board fees into RSUs with immediate vesting. Delivery of the shares underlying these director restricted stock units is deferred until termination of the director’s service on the Company’s Board of Directors.
COLFAX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The fair value of PRSUs and RSUs is equal to the market value of a share of Common stock on the date of grant and the related compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period and, for PRSUs, when it is expected that any of the performance criterion will be achieved. The performance criterion was met for PRSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2011, including PRSUs granted to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) as part of his initial employment agreement in January 2010, which were subject to a separate criterion. The performance criterion was met for PRSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2012, including PRSUs granted to the Company’s CEO as part of his initial employment agreement in April 2012, which were subject to a separate criterion. The performance criterion was met for the PRSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2013, except for PRSUs granted to one employee that were subject to a separate criterion.
The activity in the Company’s PRSUs and RSUs is as follows:

11. Retirement and13. Defined Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors various defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans and other post-retirement benefits plans, including health and life insurance, for certain eligible employees or former employees. We useThe Company uses December 31st as the measurement date for all of ourits employee benefit plans.
As a result of a settlement agreement reached in October of 2010, we assumed directly the pension obligation for a group of former employees of a divested subsidiary in place of an obligation to indemnify the purchaser of the subsidiary for all pension-related costs of the former employees. The pension plan covering those employees transferred the rights to the assets and liabilities to one of our foreign plans. The amounts related to this settlement are reflected as “Plan combinations” in the tables below. The net underfunded position of $2.9 million has been recorded as current year pension expense. This expense is substantially offset within SG&A by the reversal of an accrual established in prior years for this matter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The Company’s primary investment objective for its pension plan assets is to provide a source of retirement income for the plans’ participants and beneficiaries. The assets are invested with the goal of preserving principal while providing a reasonable real rate of return over the long term. Diversification of assets is achieved through strategic allocations to various asset classes. Actual allocations to each asset class vary due to periodic investment strategy changes, market value fluctuations, the length of time it takes to fully implement investment allocation positions, and the timing of benefit payments and contributions. The asset allocation is monitored and rebalanced as required, as frequently as on a quarterly basis in some instances. The following are the actual and target allocation percentages for the Company’s pension plan assets:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
For measurement purposes, ana weighted-average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits of approximately 16.0%11.5% was assumed. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0%4.5% by 2027 for four of the Company’s plans and to 5.25% by 2021 for another plan and remain at that levelthose levels thereafter for benefits covered under the plans.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on the Company’s investment policy target allocation of the asset portfolio between various asset classes and the expected real returns of each asset class over various periods of time that are consistent with the long-term nature of the underlying obligations of these plans.

The Company maintains defined contribution plans covering substantially all of their non-union domestic employees, as well as certain union domesticand non-union employees. Under the terms of the plans, eligible employees may generally contribute from 1% to 50% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company’s contributions are based on 50% of the first 6% of each participant’s pre-tax contribution. Additionally, the Company makes a unilateral contribution of 3% of all employees’ salary (including non-contributing participants) to the defined contribution plans. The Company’s expense for 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, related to these plans.

On May 13, 2008, coinciding with the closing of the IPO, the Company terminated its existing credit facility. There were no material early termination penalties incurred as a result of the termination. Deferred loan costs of $4.6 million were written off in connection with this termination. On the same day, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement, led by Banc of America Securities LLC and administered by Bank of America, is a senior secured structure with a $150.0 million revolver and a Term A Note of $100.0 million.
The Term A Note bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 2.75% determined by the total leverage ratio calculated at quarter end. At December 31, 2010, the interest rate was 2.76% inclusive of 2.50% margin. The Term A Note, as entered into on May 13, 2008, has $2.5 million due on a quarterly basis on the last day of each March, June, September and December beginning with June 30, 2010 and ending March 31, 2013, and one installment of $60.0 million payable on May 13, 2013.
The $150.0 million revolver contains a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, a $25.0 million swing line loan sub-facility and a €100.0 million sub-facility. The annual commitment fee on the revolver ranges from 0.4% to 0.5% determined by the total leverage ratio calculated at quarter end. At December 31, 2010, the commitment fee was 0.5% and there was $14.1 million outstanding on the letter of credit sub-facility. The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, one of the financial institutions in the consortium that provided the Company’s revolving credit line, resulted in their default under the terms of the revolver and we will not be able to draw on their commitment of $6.0 million, leaving approximately $129.9 million available under the revolver loan. The Credit Agreement was amended on February 14, 2011 to eliminate Lehman Brothers’ commitment, thereby reducing the total amount of the revolving credit line to $144.0 million. At December 31, 2009, the commitment fee was 0.4% and there was $14.4 million outstanding on the letter of credit sub-facility, leaving approximately $136 million available under the revolver loan.
Substantially all assets and stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the shares of certain European subsidiaries are pledged as collateral against borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Certain European assets are pledged against borrowings directly made to our European subsidiary. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the Company’s ability to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase Company stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a total leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1.0 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.50 to 1.0, measured at the end of each quarter. If the Company does not comply with the various covenants under the Credit Agreement and related agreements, the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Term A Note and revolver and foreclose on the collateral. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2010.
The future aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2010 are:
| | Term Debt | |
| | | |
2011 | | $ | 10,000 | |
2012 | | | 10,000 | |
2013 | | | 62,500 | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 82,500 | |
13. Shareholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock
On May 13, 2008, pursuant to the amended articles of incorporation, the Company’s preferred stock was automatically converted into shares of common stock upon the closing of the IPO, determined by dividing the original issue price of the preferred shares by the issue price of the common shares at the offering date.
The holders of the Company’s preferred stock were entitled to receive dividends in preference to any dividend on the common stock at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum, when and if declared by the Company’s board of directors. Preferred dividends of $3.5 million, $12.2 million and $13.7 million were declared on May 12, 2008, December 31, 2007, and May 15, 2007, respectively. These amounts were paid immediately prior to the consummation of the Company’s IPO on May 13, 2008. The holders of the preferred stock did not have voting rights except in certain corporate matters involving the priority and payment rights of such shares.
Stock Split
On April 21, 2008, the Company’s board of directors approved a restatement of capital accounts of the Company through an amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to provide for a stock split to convert each share of common stock issued and outstanding into 13,436.22841 shares of common stock. The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect as though the stock split occurred for all periods presented.
Issuance of Common Stock
On May 13, 2008, the Company completed its IPO of 21,562,500 shares of common stock at a per share price of $18.00. Of the 21,562,500 shares sold in the offering, 11,852,232 shares were sold by the Company and 9,710,268 shares were sold by certain selling stockholders. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $193.0 million, net of the underwriter’s discount of $14.4 million and offering-related costs of $5.9 million.
Results for the year ended December 31, 2008, include $57.0 million of nonrecurring costs associated with the IPO, including $10.0 million of share-based compensation and $27.8 million of special cash bonuses paid under previously adopted executive compensation plans, as well as $2.8 million of employer payroll taxes and other related costs. It also included $11.8 million to reimburse the selling stockholders for the underwriting discount on the shares sold by them and the write off of $4.6 million of deferred loan costs associated with the early termination of a credit facility.
In 2010 and 2009, 194,999 and 18,078 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued in connection with stock option exercises and employee share-based payment arrangements that vested during the year.
Repurchases of Common Stock
On November 5, 2008, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20 million (up to $10 million per year in 2008 and 2009) of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program was conducted pursuant to SEC Rule 10b5-1. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased was determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company purchased 795,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $5.7 million. There were no repurchases in 2009 or 2010.
Dividend Restrictions
The Company’s Credit Agreement limits the amount of cash dividends and common stock repurchases the Company may make to a total of $10 million annually.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

Share-Based Payments
2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the Colfax Corporation 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2008 Plan) on April 21, 2008. The 2008 Plan provides the compensation committee of the board of directors discretion in creating employee equity incentives. Awards under the 2008 Plan may be made in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based awards.
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments based on the fair value of the instruments issued. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as payroll costs of the employees receiving the awards are recorded in the same line item. Stock-based compensation expense related to the departure of the Company’s former President and CEO in January 2010 was recognized as a component of “Restructuring and other related charges”. In the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, $3.1 million, $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of compensation cost and deferred tax benefits of approximately $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were recognized. Compensation expense for 2010 included $0.6 million related to the former President and CEO’s departure. Compensation expense recognized for the former President and CEO reflects the accelerated vesting of certain stock options and performance-based restricted stock units on January 9, 2010. Additional compensation cost of $0.4 million was recognized for the accelerated vesting and extended exercise terms related to the departures of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $5.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based awards that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years. The intrinsic value of awards exercised or converted was $1.2 million and $0.1 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. There were no awards exercised or converted in 2008. At December 31, 2010, the Company had issued stock-based awards that are described below.
Stock Options
Under the 2008 Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase common stock, with a maximum term of 10 years at a purchase price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder, the Company may grant options to purchase common stock with a maximum term of 5 years, at a purchase price equal to 110% of the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. One-third of the options granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan vest on each anniversary of the grant date and the options expire in seven years.
Stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards was based on the grant-date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards on a ratable basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. The following table shows the weighted-average assumptions we used to calculate fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as well as the weighted-average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
| | Years Ended December 31, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Weighted-average assumptions used in Black-Scholes model: | | | | | | | | | |
Expected period that options will be outstanding (in years) | | | 4.50 | | | | 4.50 | | | | 4.50 | |
Interest rate (based on U.S. Treasury yields at time of grant) | | | 2.38 | % | | | 1.87 | % | | | 3.08 | % |
Volatility | | | 52.22 | % | | | 32.50 | % | | | 32.35 | % |
Dividend yield | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | |
Weighted-average fair value of options granted | | $ | 5.63 | | | $ | 2.24 | | | $ | 5.75 | |
Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of comparable public companies. The Company uses historical data to estimate employee termination within the valuation model. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. Since the Company has limited option exercise history, it has elected to estimate the expected life of an award based upon the SEC-approved “simplified method” noted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 with the continued use of this method extended under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.
Stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 20102013, 2012 and 2009 is2011 was $21.5 million, $19.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
14. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The company utilizes fair value measurement guidance prescribed by accounting standards to value its financial instruments. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
| | Shares | | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | | Remaining Contractual Term | | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
| | | | | | | (Years) | | | |
Outstanding at January 1, 2008 | | | - | | | $ | - | | | | | |
Granted | | | 531,999 | | | | 17.94 | | | | | |
Exercised | | | - | | | | - | | | | | |
Forfeited | | | (17,008 | ) | | | 18.00 | | | | | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2008 | | | 514,991 | | | $ | 17.93 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Granted | | | 844,165 | | | | 7.44 | | | | | |
Exercised | | | - | | | | - | | | | | |
Forfeited | | | (91,523 | ) | | | 11.70 | | | | | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2009 | | | 1,267,633 | | | $ | 11.40 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Granted | | | 756,471 | | | | 12.48 | | | | | |
Exercised | | | (152,490 | ) | | | 7.48 | | | | | |
Forfeited | | | (295,125 | ) | | | 10.71 | | | | | |
Expired | | | (35,833 | ) | | | 15.94 | | | | | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2010 | | | 1,540,656 | | | $ | 12.34 | | 5.47 | | $ | 9,380 |
Vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2010 | | | 1,146,682 | | | $ | 13.06 | | 5.11 | | $ | 6,162 |
Exercisable at December 31, 2010 | | | 478,052 | | | $ | 13.82 | | 4.72 | | $ | 2,214 |
Level One: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
The aggregate intrinsicLevel Two: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level Three: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the difference between the Company’s closing stock price at the balance sheet date and the exercise pricelowest level of the stock option, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. The amount of intrinsic value will change based onany input that is significant to the fair value of the Company’s stock.
Performance-Based Awards
Under the 2008 Plan, the compensation committee may award performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various performance goals. The vesting of the stock units is determined based on whether the Company achieves the applicable performance criterion established by the compensation committee of the board of directors. If the performance criteria are satisfied, the units are subject to additional time vesting requirements, by which units will vest fully in two equal installments on the fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant date, provided the individual remains an employee during this period.
The fair value of each grant of performance-based restricted stock or restricted stock units is equal to the market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and the compensation expense is recognized when it is expected that the performance goals will be achieved. The performance criterion for the performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) granted in 2008 was achieved; however, the performance criterion for those granted in 2009 was not achieved and accordingly, no compensation expense for the 2009 grants was recognized. The performance criterion for PRSUs granted in 2010 was achieved, except for those granted to the CEO as part of his initial employment agreement in January. The PRSUs granted to the CEO are subject to separate criterion that may be achieved through 2013.
Other Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
Under the 2008 Plan, the compensation committee may award non-performance based restricted stock and restricted stock units (RSUs) to selected executives, key employees and outside directors. The compensation committee determines the terms and conditions of each award including the restriction period and other criteria applicable to the awards.
The employee RSUs vest either 100% at the 1st anniversary of the grant date or 50% at the 1st anniversary and 50% at the 2nd anniversary of the grant date. The majority of the director RSUs granted to date vest in three equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date over a 3-year period. Directors can also elect to defer their annual board fees into RSUs with immediate vesting. Delivery of the shares underlying these director restricted stock units is deferred until termination of the director’s service on the Company’s board. The fair value of each restricted stock unit is equal to the market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes the Company’s PRSU and RSU and activity for 2010 and 2009:
| | PRSUs | | | RSUs | |
Nonvested shares | | Shares | | | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value | | | Shares | | | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value | |

The fair value of shares vested was $1.0 million and $0.4 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. No shares vested during 2008.
2001 Plan and 2006 Plan
In 2001 and 2006, the board of directors implemented long-term cash incentive plans as a means to motivate senior management or those most responsible for the overall growth and direction of the Company. Certain executive officers participated in the Colfax Corporation 2001 Employee Appreciation Rights Plan (the 2001 Plan) or the 2006 Executive Stock Rights Plan (the 2006 Plan).
Generally, each of these plans provided the applicable officers with the opportunity to receive a certain percentage, in cash (or, with respect to the 2001 Plan only, in equity, at the determination of the Board of Directors), of the increase in value of the Company from the date of grant of the award until the date of the liquidity event.
The 2001 Plan rights fully vested on the third anniversary of the grant date. The 2006 Plan rights vested if a liquidity event occurred prior to the expiration of the term of the plan. Amounts were only payable upon the occurrence of a liquidity event. The Board determined that the IPO qualified as a liquidity event for both plans. In conjunction with the IPO, the participants received a total of 557,597 shares of common stock and approximately $27.8 million in cash payments under the 2001 Plan and 2006 Plan and thereafter both plans terminated. In the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized $10.0 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the 557,597 shares of common stock awarded and a related tax benefit of approximately $3.8 million.
14. Financial Instrumentsmeasurement.
The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accountsTrade receivables, other receivables and Accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt of $81.6 million$1.5 billion and $88.6 million at $1.7 billion as of December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, respectively, was based on current interest rates for similar types of borrowings.borrowings and is in Level Two of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future.

Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash equivalents consist of investments in interest-bearing deposit accounts and money market mutual funds which are valued based on quoted market prices. The fair value of these investments approximate cost due to their short-term maturities and the high credit quality of the issuers of the underlying securities. Interest rate swaps are valued based on forward curves observable in the market. Foreign currency contracts are measured using broker quotations or observable market transactions in either listed or over-the-counter markets. There were no changes during the periods presented in the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis.

Derivatives
The Company periodically enters into foreign currency, interest rate swap, and commodity derivative contracts. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Foreign currency contracts are used to manage exchange rate fluctuations and generally hedge transactions between the Euro and the U.S. dollar.fluctuations. Commodity futures contracts are used to manage costs of raw materials used in the Company’s production processes.
The Company enters into such contracts with financial institutions of good standing, andThere were no changes during the total credit exposure related to non-performance by those institutions is not material to the operations of the Company. The Company does not enter into contracts for trading purposes.
We designate a portion of our derivative instruments as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. For all derivatives designated as hedges, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and the strategy for using the hedging instrument. We assess whether the hedging relationship between the derivative and the hedged item is highly effective at offsetting changesperiods presented in the cash flows both at inception of the hedging relationshipCompany’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and on an ongoing basis. Any change in theliability fair value of the derivative that is not effective at offsetting changes in the cash flows or fair values of the hedged item is recognized currently in earnings.
Interest rate swaps and other derivative contracts are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. For transactions in which we are hedging the variability of cash flows, changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), to the extent they are effective at offsetting changes in the hedged item, until earnings are affected by the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized currently in earnings.basis.
On June 24, 2008, the Company entered into anInterest Rate Swap. The Company’s interest rate swap was valued based on forward curves observable in the market. On January 11, 2012, the Company terminated its interest rate swap in conjunction with an aggregate notional value of $75 million whereby it exchanged its LIBOR-based variable rate interest for a fixed rate of 4.1375%. The notional value decreased to $50 million on June 30, 2010 and will decrease to $25 million on June 30, 2011, and expires on June 29, 2012. The fair valuesthe repayment of the swap agreement, based on third-party quotes, were liabilitiesBank of $1.8 millionAmerica Credit Agreement and $3.0 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are recorded in “Other long term liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet. The swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge, and therefore changes in its fair value are recorded as an adjustment to other comprehensive income. The effective portion of net losses recognized in AOCI during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $1.2 million, $0.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. There has been no significant ineffectiveness related to this arrangement since its inception. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, $2.4 million, $2.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of losses on the swap were reclassified from AOCI to interest expense. At December 31, 2010, the Company expects to reclassify $1.4$0.5 million of net losses on the interest rate swap from accumulatedAccumulated other comprehensive incomeloss to earnings during the next twelve months.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no open commodity futures contracts, but in previous periods had copper and nickel futures contracts. The Company did not elect hedge accounting for these contracts, and therefore changes in their fair value were recognized in earnings.

Foreign Currency Contracts. Foreign currency contracts are measured using broker quotations or observable market transactions in either listed or over-the-counter markets. The Company primarily uses foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risk associated with customer forward sale agreements denominated in currencies other than the applicable local currency, and to match costs and expected revenues where production facilities have a different currency than the selling currency.
As of December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, the Company had foreign currency contracts with the following notional values of $13.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively.

Asbestos Liabilities and Insurance Assets
Two of ourCertain subsidiaries are each one of many defendants in a large number of lawsuits that claim personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos from products manufactured with components that are alleged to have contained asbestos. Such components were acquired from third-party suppliers, and were not manufactured by any of ourthe Company’s subsidiaries nor were the subsidiaries producers or direct suppliers of asbestos. The manufactured products that are alleged to have contained asbestos generally were provided to meet the specifications of the subsidiaries’ customers, including the U.S. Navy.
The subsidiaries settle asbestos claims for amounts managementthe Company considers reasonable given the facts and circumstances of each claim. The annual average settlement payment per asbestos claimant has fluctuated during the past several years. ManagementThe Company expects such fluctuations to continue in the future based upon, among other things, the number and type of claims settled in a particular period and the jurisdictions in which such claims arise. To date, the majority of settled claims have been dismissed for no payment.
Of the 24,764 pending claims, approximately 3,500 of such claims have been brought in various federal and state courts in Mississippi; approximately 3,300of such claims have been brought in the Supreme Court of New York County, New York; approximately 200 of such claims have been brought in the Superior Court, Middlesex County, New Jersey; and approximately 900 claims have been filed in state courts in Michigan and the U.S. District Court, Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan. The remaining pending claims have been filed in state and federal courts in Alabama, California, Kentucky, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Washington.

The Company has projected each subsidiary’s future asbestos-related liability costs with regard to pending and future unasserted claims based upon the Nicholson methodology. The Nicholson methodology is a standard approach used by experts and has been accepted by numerous courts. It is the Company’s policy to record a liability for asbestos-related liability costs for the longest period of time that it can reasonably estimate.
The Company believes that it can reasonably estimate the asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims that will be resolved in the next 15 years and has recorded that liability as its best estimate. While it is reasonably possible that the subsidiaries will incur costs after this period, the Company does not believe the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss is estimable at the current time. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded for any costs which may be paid after the next 15 years. Defense costs associated with asbestos-related liabilities as well as costs incurred related to litigation against the subsidiaries’ insurers are expensed as incurred.
During the third quarter of 2009, an analysis of claims data including filing and dismissal rates, alleged disease mix, filing jurisdiction, as well as settlement values resulted in the determination that the Company should revise its rolling 15-year estimate of asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims. The analysis reflected that a statistically significant increase in mesothelioma filings had occurred and was expected to continue for both subsidiaries. As a result, the Company recorded an $11.6 million pretax charge in the third quarter of 2009, which was comprised of an increase to its asbestos-related liabilities of $111.3 million offset by expected insurance recoveries of $99.7 million.
Each subsidiary has separate insurance coverage acquired prior to Company ownership of each independent entity. In its evaluation of the insurance asset, the Company used differing insurance allocation methodologies for each subsidiary based upon the applicable law pertaining to the affected subsidiary.
In November 2008,For one of the subsidiaries, entered into a settlement agreement with the primary and umbrella carrier governing all aspects of the carrier’s past and future handling of the asbestos related bodily injury claims against the subsidiary. As a result of this agreement, during the third quarter of 2008, the Company increased its insurance asset by $7.0 million attributable to resolution of a dispute concerning certain pre-1966 insurance policies and recorded a corresponding pretax gain. The Company reimbursed the primary insurer for $7.6 million in deductibles and retrospective premiums in the fourth quarter of 2008 and has no further liability to the insurer under these provisions of the primary policies.
For this subsidiary, the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled on October 14, 2009 that asbestos-related costs should be allocated among excess insurers using an “all sums” allocation (which allows an insured to collect all sums paid in connection with a claim from any insurer whose policy is triggered, up to the policy’s applicable limits) and that the subsidiary has rights to excess insurance policies purchased by a former owner of the business. Based upon this ruling mandating an “all sums” allocation, as well as more recent rulings by the language ofDelaware Superior Court concerning the underlying insurance policies and the assertion and belief that defense costs are outside policy limits,subsidiary’s coverage rights, the Company as of October 2, 2009, increased itscurrently estimates that the subsidiary’s future expected recovery percentage from 67% tois 90% of asbestos-related costs followingwith the exhaustion of its primary and umbrella layers of insurance and recorded a pretax gain of $17.3 million. The subsidiary expectsexpected to be responsible for approximately 10% of its future asbestos-related costs. Certain coverage issues still remain to be decided,

Depending on the outcome of 2010, an insolvent carrier that had written approximately $1.4 million in limits for which this subsidiary had assumed nothe remaining issues, as well as any appeal, the expected insurance recovery made a cash settlement offer of approximately $0.7 million. As such, the subsidiary recorded a gain for this amount and a receivable from the insurer.percentage could change.
The subsidiary was notified during the third quarter ofin 2010 by the primary and umbrella carrier who had been fully defending and indemnifying the subsidiary for twenty20 years that the limits of liability of its primary and umbrella layer policies had been exhausted. Since then, the subsidiary has sought coverage from certain excess layer insurers whose terms and conditions follow form to the umbrella carrier. Certain first-layer excess insurers have defended and/or indemnified the subsidiary, and/or agreed to defend and/or indemnify the subsidiary, subject to their reservations of rights and their applicable policy limits. Litigation between this subsidiary and itsA trial concerning the payment obligations of the Company’s excess insurers is continuingconcluded during fourth quarter of 2012, but certain legal rulings and it is anticipated that the trial phase will be completed in 2011.entry of a final judgment are still pending. The subsidiary continues to work with its excess insurers to obtain defense and indemnity payments while the litigation is proceeding. Given the uncertainties of litigation, there areis a variety of possible outcomes, including but not limited to the subsidiary being required to fund all or a portion of the subsidiary’s defense and indemnity payments until such time a final ruling orders payment by the insurers. While not impacting the results of operations, the funding requirement could range up to $10 million per quarter until final resolution. In addition, because a statistically significant increase in mesothelioma claims had occurred and was expected to continue to occur in certain regions, this subsidiary recorded a $1.8 million pre-tax charge, which was comprised of an increase in its asbestos-related liabilities of $18.1 million partially offset by an increase in expected insurance recoveries of $16.3 million, during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2011. Due to a statistically significant increase in mesothelioma and lung cancer claims and higher settlement values per claim that have occurred and are expected to continue to occur in certain jurisdictions, partially offset by lower claims and lower settlement values per claim in other jurisdictions, the Company recorded a $0.6 million pre-tax charge during year ended December 31, 2013, which was included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The pre-tax charge was comprised of an increase in asbestos-related liabilities of $10.8 million partially offset by an increase in expected insurance recoveries of $10.2 million.
In 2003, the otheranother subsidiary filed a lawsuit against a large number of its insurers and its former parent to resolve a variety of disputes concerning insurance for asbestos-related bodily injury claims asserted against it. Although none of these insurance companies contested coverage, they disputed the timing, reasonableness and allocation of payments.
For this subsidiary, it was determined by court ruling in the fourth quarter of 2007 that the allocation methodology mandated by the New Jersey courts will apply. Further court rulings in December of 2009 clarified the allocation calculation related to amounts currently due from insurers as well as amounts the Company expects to be reimbursed for asbestos-related costs incurred in future periods. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company increased its receivable for past costs by $11.9 million and decreased its insurance asset for future costs by $9.8 million and recorded a pretax gain of $2.1 million.
In connection with this litigation, the court engaged a special master to review the appropriate information and recommend an allocation formula in accordance with applicable law and the facts of the case. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the court-appointed special allocation master made its recommendation which has not yet beenrecommendation. In May 2011, the court accepted by the court. Based upon the recommendation with modifications. A final judgment at the Company reducedtrial court level in this litigation was rendered during the current asbestos receivable by $2.3 million, increasedyear ended December 31, 2011, but appeals have been entered. Because of the long-term asbestos asset by $0.4 million andhigher settlement values per mesothelioma claim in 2011 in a specific region, this subsidiary recorded a net$0.7 million pre-tax charge, which was comprised of an increase to asbestos liability and defense costsits asbestos-related liabilities of $1.9$4.7 million partially offset by an increase in the third quarterexpected insurance recoveries of 2010. As a result of the current status of this litigation, we decreased the amount currently due from insurers by $0.5$4.0 million, and decreased the insurance asset for future periods by $1.6 million and recorded a pretax loss of $2.1 million induring the fourth quarter of 2010. We currently anticipate that the trial phase in this litigation will be complete inyear ended December 31, 2011. We cannot predict the outcome of this litigation with certainty, or whether the outcome will be more or less favorable than our best estimate included in the consolidated financial statements. Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, we would estimate the range of possible results from positive $30 million to negative $30 million relative to our reported insurance assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

It has also established recoverables of $374.4 million and $389.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for the insurance recoveries that are deemed probable during the same time period. Net of these recoverables, the expected cash outlay on a non-discounted basis for asbestos-related bodily injury claims over the next 15 years, was $55.3 million and $54.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company has recorded a receivable for liability and defense costs previously paid in the amount of $51.8 million and $52.8 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for which insurance recovery is deemed probable. The Company has recorded the reserves for the asbestos liabilities as “Accrued asbestos liability” and “Long-term asbestos liability” and the related insurance recoveries as “Asbestos insurance asset” and “Long-term asbestos insurance asset”. The receivable for previously paid liability and defense costs is recorded in “Asbestos insurance receivable” and “Long-term asbestos insurance receivable”. The Company also has reflected in other accrued liabilities $23.3 million and $15.8 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for overpayments by certain insurers and unpaid legal costs related to defending itselfthemselves against

The expense (income) related to these(4) Included in Other liabilities and legal defense was $7.9 million, net of estimated insurance recoveries, forin the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to ($2.2) million and ($4.8) million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Legal costs related to the subsidiaries’ action against their asbestos insurers were $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $11.7 million and $17.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Management’s analyses are based on currently known facts and a number of assumptions. However, projecting future events, such as new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolving each claim, coverage issues among layers of insurers, the method in which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies, interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships, the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, the amount of remaining insurance available, as well as the numerous uncertainties inherent in asbestos litigation could cause the actual liabilities and insurance recoveries to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded which could materially affect ourthe Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
General Litigation
On June 3, 1997, one of our subsidiaries was served with a complaint in a case brought by Litton Industries, Inc. (“Litton”) in the Superior Court of New Jersey which alleges damages in excess of $10.0 million incurred as a result of losses under a government contract bid transferred in connection with the sale of its former Electro-Optical Systems business. In the third quarter of 2004, this case was tried and the jury rendered a verdict of $2.1 million for the plaintiffs. After appeals by both parties, the Supreme Court of New Jersey upheld the plaintiffs’ right to a refund of their attorney’s fees and costs of trial, but remanded the issue to the trial court to reconsider the amount of fees using a proportionality analysis of the relationship between the fee requested and the damages recovered. The date for the new trial on additional claims allowed by the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court and the recalculation of attorney’s fees has not been set. The subsidiary intends to continue to defend this matter vigorously. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes a liability, reflected in “Other liabilities”, related to this matter of $9.5 million.
The Company is also involved in various other pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of the Company’s business. None of these legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company. With respect to these proceedings and the litigation and claims described in the preceding paragraphs, management of the Company believes that it will either prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate reservesaccruals to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adverselyadverse to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.
Guarantees
At December 31, 2010, there were $14.1 million of letters of credit outstanding. Additionally, at December 31, 2010, we had issued $16.4 million of bank guarantees securing primarily customer prepayments, performance, and product warranties in our European and Asian operations.

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes 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 company’s assets; |
| |
(ii) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP,accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of management and directors of the company; and |

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20102013 based on the criteria established in Internal Control –- Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.Commission (1992 framework).

Management concluded that the previous actuarial valuations for the plans of a U.S subsidiary contained errors in participant data. The errors largely originated in census data compiled by the subsidiary’s former actuaries prior to our acquisition of the subsidiary in 1997. The result of these errors affected the valuation of pension liabilities at the date of the acquisition and goodwill was overstated. Remediation of the material weakness occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010.
