This Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the year ended December 31, 2006 is included to enhance disclosures for the adoption of SFAS No. 158 by presenting the $28.4 million adoption impact as a separate component of AOCI and a corresponding increase to 2006 comprehensive income. The revision did not change net income, total AOCI, or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. General:
     References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “our”, “us”, “LII” or the “Company” refer to Lennox International Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31,September 30, 2007, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 and 2006, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 and the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 and 2006 should be read in conjunction with LII’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for each year in the three year period ended December 31, 2006. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of LII have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
     The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and the Company’s quarters are each comprised of 13 weeks. For convenience, throughout these financial statements, the 13 weeks comprising each three-month period are denoted by the last day of the respective calendar quarter.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
     Certain prior-period balances in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation of financial information. Shipping and handling costs related to post-production activities are included as a component of Gross Profit in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such costs were previously reported as part of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
     Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109(“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition. For more information see Note 9.10.

5. Short-Term Investments:
     As of September 30, 2007 the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary (the “Captive”) held approximately $25.1 million in debt securities, consisting of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, corporate bonds, commercial paper, and various securitized debt instruments. The Company did not hold these types of investments at December 31, 2006. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (as amended),Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company classifies these investments as available-for-sale and carries them at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Any unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), net of applicable taxes, until the gain or loss is realized. Unrealized losses included in AOCI in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2007 were not material. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities were also not material for the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2007. These instruments are not classified as cash and cash equivalents as their original maturity dates are greater than three months. The maturities of these securities range from October 2007 to February 2011. However, it is the

8


Captive’s intention that these investments be available to support its current operations as needed. Therefore, due to the liquidity of these investments, they are classified as current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company places its investments only in high credit quality financial instruments and limits the amount invested in any one institution or in any one instrument.

          Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, all of the performance share plans under the 1998 Incentive Plan were classified as equity based plans and the fair value of each award is the market price of the stock on the date of grant and is amortized to expense ratably over the vesting period. The stock-based compensation expense for any additional shares which may be earned is estimated on the grant date based on the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The number of shares expected to be earned will be adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the actual number of shares awarded.
          No performance shares were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 or 2006.

          Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the compensation expense for awards granted prior to the adoption is the fair value on the date of grant, recognized over the vesting period. The fair value for these awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model and follows the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,Share-Based Payment. The Company used historical data and other pertinent information to estimate the expected volatility for the term of the award and the outstanding period of the award for separate groups of employees that had similar historical exercise behavior. The risk free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
          No stock appreciation rights were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The weighted-average fair value of 7,932 stock appreciation rights granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $8.43.
          Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, stock appreciation rights granted prior to the date of adoption continue to be amortized to expense using the graded method.

In addition, the Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in accordance with FIN No. 48. As of January 1, 2007, the Company hashad recognized $1.2 million (net of federal tax benefits) in interest and penalties.
     The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s consolidated tax returns for the years 1999 – 2003 and issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) on April 6, 2006. The IRS has proposed certain significant adjustments to the Company’s insurance deductions and research tax credits. The Company disagrees with the RAR, which is currently under review by the administrative appeals division of the IRS, and anticipates resolution by the end of 2007. It is possible that a reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur but an estimate of the impact on the statement of operations cannot be made at this time.
     The Company is subject to examination by numerous taxing authorities in jurisdictions such as Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, and the United States. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-US income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 1999.
     In AprilSince January 1, 2007, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, and West Virginia have enacted legislation

effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2007. The significant provisions include the mandatory unitary combined reporting for corporations that are taxable under the general corporation franchise tax, and several tax rate reductions. The Company believes any adjustments will be immaterial.

     In the third quarter of 2007, the Company announced plans to close its hearth products operations in Lynwood, California and consolidate its U.S. factory-built fireplace manufacturing operations in its facility in Union City, Tennessee. The consolidation will be a phased process and is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2008. In connection with this consolidation project, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $2.4 million in its Residential Heating & Cooling segment for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The restructuring charges primarily related to severance related costs and the disposal of certain long-lived assets. LII currently expects to incur pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $2.7 million over the next six months due to this consolidation project.
     In the second quarter of 2007, the Company reorganized its corporate administrative function and eliminated the position of chief administrative officer. In connection with this action, the Company entered into negotiations with its former chief administrative officer to settle the terms of his employment agreement. As of June 30, 2007, these negotiations continued and the final settlement was unknown. Therefore, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $8.0 million as of June 30, 2007, which represented the Company’s estimate of the amounts to be paid to settle the employment agreement. Restructuring expense of $6.6 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2007, which represented the $8.0 million estimate of the amounts to be paid to settle the employment agreement, net of $1.4 million of previously recorded stock-based compensation expense. In September 2007, the Company reached an agreement to settle the terms of the former chief administrative officer’s employment agreement. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $1.1 million of restructuring expense related to this matter in the third quarter of 2007.

     A division of the Company’s Residential Heating & Cooling segment commenced plans to close its Burlington, Washington facility in 2005. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $1.2 million related to an operating lease on the idle facility in Burlington. The charge reflected the net present value of the remaining lease payments on the operating lease, net of estimated sublease income on the facility. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement for the idle facility. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $0.3 million to reflect the net present value of the remaining lease payments on the operating lease, net of sublease income on the facility. The operating lease and sub-lease both expire in June 2011.
     In February 2006, Allied Air Enterprises, a division of the Company’s Residential Heating & Cooling segment, announced that it had commenced plans to consolidate its manufacturing, distribution, research & development, and administrative operations of the Company’s two-step Residential Heating & Cooling operations in South Carolina, and close its current operations in Bellevue, Ohio. The consolidation was substantially complete ascompleted during the first quarter of March 31, 2007. In connection with this consolidation project, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $2.2 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The amounts recorded related primarily to severance and benefits and other exit costs incurred, including charges of $0.9$1.5 million and $3.7 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006, respectively, related to the reduction in useful lives and disposal of certain long-lived assets.
     A pension settlement loss of approximately $0.7 million is included in the Company’s Residential Heating & Cooling segment’s restructuring expense for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007. The pension settlement loss related to the Company’s full funding of lump sum pension payments to selected participants in March 2007.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company reversed to income approximately $0.6 million of restructuring reserves that had been established in connection with a prior restructuring initiative in 2001.
Also included in restructuring expense for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 is a gain of $0.8 million related to the sale of a parcel of land. The Company had reduced the carrying value of the land to its then net realizable value in connection with a prior restructuring initiative of its Service Experts operations in 2001.
11.12. Earnings per Share:
     Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares and the number of equivalent shares assumed outstanding, if dilutive, under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. As of March 31,September 30, 2007, the Company had 78,544,58681,326,014 shares issued of which 10,288,97016,883,456 were held as treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share are computed as follows (in millions, except per share data):

13.14. Investments in Affiliates:
     Investments in affiliates in which the Company does not exercise control andbut has a 20% or more voting interestsignificant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. If the fair value of an investment in an affiliate is below its carrying value and the difference is deemed to be other than temporary, the difference between the fair value and the carrying value is charged to earnings.
     Investments in affiliated companies accounted for under the equity method consist of the following: a 24.5% common stock ownership interest in Alliance Compressor LLC, a joint venture engaged in the manufacture and sale of compressors; a 50% common stock ownership interest in Frigus-Bohn S.A. de C.V., a Mexican joint venture that produces unit coolers and condensing units; and a 21.75% common stock ownership interest in Kulthorn Kirby Public Company Limited, a Thailand company engaged in the manufacture of compressors for refrigeration and air conditioning applications.
     The Company recorded $2.7 million and $2.1$2.5 million of equity in the earnings of its unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $8.9 million and $7.5 million of equity in the earnings of its unconsolidated affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and has included these amounts in Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying amount of investments in unconsolidated affiliates as of March 31,September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is $56.3$62.8 million and $52.4 million, respectively, and is included in Long-term Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
14.15. Derivatives:
     LII utilizes a program to mitigate the exposure to volatility in the prices of certain commodities the Company uses in its production process. The program includes the use of futures contracts and fixed forward contracts. The intent of the program is to protect the Company’s operating margins and overall profitability from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments.
     The Company accounts for instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges utilizing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (“SFAS No. 133”). Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006, futures contracts entered into that met established accounting criteria were formally designated as cash flow hedges. For futures contracts that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness and measures hedge ineffectiveness at least quarterly throughout the designated period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the futures contracts are recorded, net of applicable taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”),AOCI, a component of Stockholders’ Equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. When net income is affected by the variability of the underlying cash flow, the applicable offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the futures contracts that is deferred in AOCI is released to net income and is reported as a component of Cost of Goods Sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months and the nine months ended March 31September 30, 2007, $1.6$3.2 million and $4.6 million in losses wasgains, respectively, were reclassified from AOCI to net income. Changes in the fair value of futures contracts that do not effectively offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item throughout the designated hedge period (“ineffectiveness”) are recorded in net income each period and are reported in (Gains), Losses, and Other Expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, there was $0.2 million in gainsLosses recognized in net income representing hedge ineffectiveness.ineffectiveness were not material for the three months or the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

14


     The Company may enter into instruments that economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 to such instruments. In these cases, there exists a natural hedging relationship in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying item(s). Changes in the fair

16


value of instruments not designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in net income throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in (Gains), Losses, and Other Expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months and the nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 and 2006, net gains of $0.8$0.4 million and $18.2$2.2 million and $1.6 million and $47.0 million, respectively, were recognized in earnings related to instruments not accounted for as cash flow hedges.
15.16. Commitments and Contingencies:
Guarantees
     On June 22, 2006, Lennox Procurement Company Inc. (“Procurement”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a lease agreement with BTMU Capital Corporation (“BTMUCC”), pursuant to which BTMUCC is leasing certain property located in Richardson, Texas to Procurement for a term of seven years (the “Lake Park Lease”). The leased property consists of an office building of approximately 192,000 square feet, which includes the Company’s corporate headquarters, and land and related improvements.
     During the term, the Lake Park Lease requires Procurement to pay base rent in quarterly installments, payable in arrears. At the end of the term, if Procurement is not in default, Procurement must elect to do one of the following: (i) purchase the leased property for a net price of approximately $41.2 million (the “Lease Balance”); (ii) make a final supplemental payment to BTMUCC equal to approximately 82% of the Lease Balance and return the leased property to BTMUCC in good condition; (iii) arrange a sale of the leased property to a third party; or (iv) renew the Lake Park Lease under mutually agreeable terms. If Procurement elects to arrange a sale of the leased property to a third party, then Procurement must pay to BTMUCC the amount (if any) by which the Lease Balance exceeds the net sales proceeds paid by the third party; provided, however, that, absent certain defaults, such amount cannot exceed approximately 82% of the Lease Balance. If the net sales proceeds paid by the third party are greater than the Lease Balance, the excess sales proceeds will be paid to Procurement.
     Procurement’s obligations under the Lake Park Lease and related documents are secured by a pledge of Procurement’s interest in the leased property. Procurement’s obligations under such documents are also guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a Guaranty, dated as of June 22, 2006, in favor of BTMUCC.
     The Company is accounting for the Lake Park Lease as an operating lease.
     The majority of the Service Experts segment’s motor vehicle fleet is leased through operating leases. The lease terms are generally non-cancelable for the first 12-month term and then are month-to-month, cancelable at the Company’s option. While there are residual value guarantees on these vehicles, the Company has not historically made significant payments to the lessors as the leases are maintained until the fair value of the assets fully mitigates the Company’s obligations under the lease agreements. As of March 31,September 30, 2007, the Company estimates that it will incur an additional $7.7$7.9 million above the contractual obligations on these leases until the fair value of the leased vehicles fully mitigates the Company’s residual value guarantee obligation under the lease agreements.
Environmental
     Applicable environmental laws can potentially impose obligations on the Company to remediate hazardous substances at the Company’s properties, at properties formerly owned or operated by the Company and at facilities to which the Company has sent or sends waste for treatment or disposal. The Company is aware of contamination at some facilities; however, the Company does not presently believe that any future remediation costs at such facilities will be material to the Company’s results of operations. No amounts have been recorded for non-asset retirement obligation environmental liabilities that are not probable or estimable.
     At one site located in Brazil, the Company is currently evaluating the remediation efforts that may be required by theunder applicable environmental laws related to the release of certain hazardous materials. The Company currently believes that the release of the hazardous materials occurred over an extended period of time, including a time when the Company did not own the site. The Company planscontinues to completeconduct additional assessments of the site by the second quarter of 2007 to help determine the possible remediation activities that may be conducted at this site. Once the site assessments are completed and the possible remediation activities have been evaluated, approval of the Company plans to

15


commence remediation planefforts, pending any required approvals by local governmental authorities will be required before such activities can begin.authorities. The Company believes that containment is one of several viable options to comply with local regulatory standards. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $1.7 million in 2006 for estimated

17


containment costs at the site. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a charge of $0.2$0.4 million primarily related to additional site assessments. As of March 31,September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company hashad discounted liabilities recorded of approximately $1.9$2.1 million and $1.7 million related to this matter which are included in Other Long Term Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These liabilities are discounted at approximately 5%6% as the aggregate amount of the obligation and the amount and timing of cash payments are reliably determinable. If, after the site assessments are completed, it is determined that containment is more costly or the local governmental authorities require more costly remediation activities, the costs to contain or remediate the site could be as high as $5.2$5.1 million (undiscounted). The Company is exploring options for insurance recoveries and recoveries from amounts held in escrow.recoveries.

     Estimates of future costs are subject to change due to prorated cleanup periods and changing environmental remediation regulations.
Litigation
     The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. As previously reported, in January 2003, the Company, along with one of its subsidiaries, Heatcraft Inc., werewas named in the following lawsuits in connection with the Company’s former heat transfer operations:
  Lynette Brown, et al., vs. Koppers Industries, Inc., Heatcraft Inc., Lennox International Inc., et al.,
Circuit Court of Washington County, Civil Action No. CI 2002-479;
 
  Likisha Booker, et al., vs. Koppers Industries, Inc., Heatcraft Inc., Lennox International Inc., et al.,
Circuit Court of Holmes County; Civil Action No. 2002-549;
 
  Walter Crowder, et al., vs. Koppers Industries, Inc., Heatcraft Inc. and Lennox International Inc., et al.,
Circuit Court of Leflore County, Civil Action No. 2002-0225; and
 
  Benobe Beck, et al., vs. Koppers Industries, Inc., Heatcraft Inc. and Lennox International Inc., et al.,
Circuit Court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, No. 03-000030.
     On behalf of approximately 100 plaintiffs, the lawsuits allege personal injury resulting from alleged emissions of trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride and other unspecified emissions from the South Plant in Grenada, Mississippi, previously owned by Heatcraft Inc. Each plaintiff seeks to recover actual and punitive damages. On Heatcraft Inc.’s motion to transfer venue, two of the four lawsuits (Booker andCrowder) were ordered severed and transferred to Grenada County by the Mississippi Supreme Court, requiring plaintiffs’ counsel to maintain a separate lawsuit for each of the individual plaintiffs named in these suits. To the Company’s knowledge, as of April 20,October 19, 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel has requested the transfer of files regarding five individual plaintiffs from theBooker case and five individual plaintiffs from theCrowder case. While at this time, only theBooker andCrowder cases have been ordered severed and transferredAdditionally, LII has joined in motions to dismiss filed by the Mississippi Supreme Court, LII expects theBeck andBrown cases to be transferred, as well,co-defendants in the near future.four original lawsuits. These motions, which are still pending, seek dismissal (rather than transfer), without prejudice to refiling in Grenada County, of all cases not yet transferred to Grenada County. It is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters or an estimate of any potential loss. Based on present knowledge,current negotiations, management believes that it is unlikely that any final resolution of these matters will result inhave a material liability.impact on the Company’s financial statements.
16.17. Share Repurchase Plan:
     On July 25, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new $500 million share repurchase plan, pursuant to which LII plans to repurchase shares of its common stock through open market purchases (the “2007 Share Repurchase Plan”). Based on the closing price of LII’s common stock on July 24, 2007, a $500 million repurchase would represent over 20% of the Company’s market capitalization. The 2007

16


Share Repurchase Plan terminates and replaces the 2005 Share Repurchase Plan. The Company currently intends to fully execute the repurchase by the end of the third quarter of 2008. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company purchased 3,026,100 shares of its common stock for $104.2 million, representing approximately 21% of the $500 million repurchase authorization.
18. Reportable Business Segments:
     The Company operates in four reportable business segments of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVACR”) markets. The first reportable segment is Residential Heating & Cooling, in which LII manufactures and markets a full line of heating, air conditioning and hearth products for the residential replacement and new construction markets in the United States and Canada. The second reportable segment is Commercial Heating & Cooling, in which LII manufactures and sells rooftop products and related equipment for light commercial applications in the United States and Canada and primarily rooftop products, chillers and air handlers in Europe. The third reportable segment is Service Experts, which includes sales, installation, maintenance and

18


repair services for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment by LII-owned service centers in the United States and Canada. The fourth reportable segment is Refrigeration, which manufactures and sells unit coolers, condensing units and other commercial refrigeration products in the United States and international markets.
     Transactions between segments, such as products sold to Service Experts by the Residential Heating & Cooling segment, are recorded on an arms-length basis using the market price for these products. The eliminations of these intercompany sales and any associated profit are noted in the reconciliation of segment results to the income from continuing operations before income taxes below.
     The Company uses segment profit (loss) as the primary measure of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources. The Company has changed its definition of segment profit (loss) to include realized gains (losses) on settled futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges and foreign currency exchange gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) on settled futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges and foreign currency gains (losses) are a component of (Gains), Losses and Other Expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of this change, the Company now defines segment profit (loss) as a segment’s income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations;Operations excluding (gains), losses and other expenses, net; restructuring charges; goodwill impairment; interest expense, net; and other expense (income) expense,, net; less (plus) realized gains (losses) on settled futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges and the ineffective portion of settled cash flow hedges; and less (plus)foreign currency exchange gains (losses).
     The Company’s corporate costs include those costs related to corporate functions such as legal, internal audit, treasury, human resources, tax compliance and senior executive staff. Corporate costs also include the long-term share-based incentive awards provided to employees throughout LII. The Company recorded these share-based awards as Corporate costs as they are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors and based on the historical practice of doing so for internal reporting purposes.
     Net sales and segment profit (loss) by business segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit (loss) to net earnings (loss) for the three months and the nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2007 and 2006, are shown below (in millions):

20. Subsequent Events:
     On October 10, 2007 the Company announced plans to close its refrigeration operations in Danville, Illinois and consolidate its Danville manufacturing, support, and warehouse functions in its Tifton, Georgia and Stone Mountain, Georgia operations. The facility in Danville manufactures evaporators and other heat transfer products for the commercial refrigeration industry. The consolidation will be a phased process and is expected to be completed over the next 18 months with pre-tax restructuring-related charges of approximately $17 million over that time.
     The Company entered into a $650 million Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank (the “Administrative Agent”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, and the lenders party thereto on October 12, 2007. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s previous domestic revolving credit facility, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2005, among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and the lenders named therein.
     The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured $650 million revolving credit facility that matures on October 12, 2012. The revolving credit facility includes a subfacility for swingline loans of up to $50 million and provides for the issuance of letters of credit for the full amount of the credit facility. The revolving loans bear interest at either (i) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of between 0.5% and 1% that is based on the Company’s Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and (b) the prime rate set by Bank of America, N.A. The Company may prepay the revolving loans at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs in the case of Eurodollar loans.
     The Company will pay a facility fee in the range of 0.125% to 0.25% based on the Company’s Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio. The Company will also pay a letter of credit fee in the range of 0.5% to 1% based on the Company’s Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, as well as an additional issuance fee of 0.125% for letters of credit issued.
     The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants relating to leverage and interest coverage. Other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement restrict, among other things, mergers, asset dispositions, guarantees, debt, liens, acquisitions, investments, affiliate transactions and the Company’s ability to make restricted payments.
     The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, lenders with a majority of the aggregate commitments may require the Administrative Agent to terminate the Company’s right to borrow under the Credit Agreement and accelerate amounts due under the Credit Agreement (except for a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically become due and payable and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate).
     The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its material domestic subsidiaries, including Lennox Industries Inc., Allied Air Enterprises Inc., Service Experts Inc. and Lennox Global Ltd.
     The Company made a $25 million prepayment on a domestic promissory note to facilitate the amendment of the Credit Agreement, resulting in a make-whole payment of $0.2 million which will be recognized as interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Overview
     We participateoperate in four reportable business segments of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVACR”) industry.markets. The first reportable segment is Residential Heating & Cooling, in which we manufacture and market a full line of heating, air conditioning and hearth products for the residential replacement and new construction markets in the United States and Canada. The second reportable segment is Commercial Heating & Cooling, in which we primarily manufacture and sell rooftop products and related equipment for light commercial applications in the United States and Canada and primarily rooftop products, chillers and air handlers in Europe. The third reportable segment is Service Experts, which includes sales, installation, maintenance and repair services for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment by Company-owned service centers in the United States and Canada. The fourth reportable segment is Refrigeration, in which we manufacture and sell unit coolers, condensing units and other commercial refrigeration products in the United States and international markets.
     Our products and services are sold through a combination of distributors, independent and Company-owned dealer service centers, other installing contractors, wholesalers, manufacturers’ representatives, original equipment manufacturers and to national accounts. The demand for our products and services is seasonal and dependent on the weather. Hotter than normal summers generate strong demand for replacement air conditioning and refrigeration products and services and colder than normal winters have the same effect on heating products and services. Conversely, cooler than normal summers and warmer than normal winters depress HVACR sales and services. In addition to weather, demand for our products and services is influenced by national and regional economic and demographic factors, such as interest rates, the availability of financing, regional population and employment trends, new construction, general economic conditions and consumer confidence.
     The principal elements of cost of goods sold in our manufacturing operations are components, raw materials, factory overhead, labor and estimated costs of warranty expense. In our Service Experts segment, the principal components of cost of goods sold are equipment, parts and supplies and labor. The principal raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are steel, copper and aluminum. Higher prices for these commodities and related components continue to present a challenge to us and the HVACR industry in general. We partially mitigate the impact of higher commodity prices through a combination of price increases, commodity contracts, improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives.
     Our fiscal year ends on December 31 and our interim fiscal quarters are each comprised of 13 weeks. For convenience, throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the 13-week periods comprising each fiscal quarter are denoted by the last day of the calendar quarter.

Results of Operations
Overview of ResultsCompany Highlights
  Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2007 decreased 2.1% as compared to the first quarter of 2006 primarily attributable to decreased sales of domestic residential heating, air conditioning and hearth products due to the continued downturn in residential new construction.Our Commercial Heating & Cooling, Service Experts, and Refrigeration all recordedsegments experienced increases in net sales increases forin the firstthird quarter of 2007 as compared to the firstprior year quarter due to favorable product price and mix changes, increased volumes and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our Residential Heating & Cooling segment’s sales decreased for the third quarter of 2006.2007 compared to the prior year quarter largely due to weak residential new construction sales.
 
  Operational income for the firstthird quarter of 2007 was $14.6increased $41.9 million, or 73.5%, from the prior year quarter. As a percentage of sales, operational income increased to 9.6% in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to $34.1 million for5.6% in the firstthird quarter of 2006. The increase in operational income was due to price increases implemented since the third quarter of 2006 as our net sales decreased 2.1%offsetting increases in commodity and other manufacturing costs. Additionally, we recorded lower gains on future contracts. In the first three months of 2007, we designated certain future contracts as cash flow hedges, thereby reducing the amount of gains recognized during the quarter as compared to 2006.reduced selling, general and administrative expenses through cost management and cost reduction initiatives.
 
  Net income for the firstthird quarter of 2007 decreasedincreased $25.6 million, or 71.9%, as compared to $8.6 million from $21.0 million in 2006 primarilythe prior year quarter due to reduced saleshigher gross profit and lower operating income.expenses.
 
  On March 19,July 25, 2007, we announced that Todd M. Bluedorn was appointed Chief Executive Officer and elected to our Board of Directors effective April 2, 2007. Mr. Bluedorn succeeded Robert E. Schjerven, who has served asapproved a new $500 million share repurchase plan, pursuant to which we plan to repurchase shares of our Chief Executive Officer since 2001common stock through open market purchases (the “2007 Share Repurchase Plan”). Based on the closing price of our common stock on July 24, 2007, a $500 million repurchase would represent over 20% of our market capitalization. We currently intend to fully execute the repurchase by the end of the third quarter of 2008. The 2007 Share Repurchase Plan terminates and held multiple leadership positions since 1986. Mr. Schjerven resigned fromreplaces the 2005 Share Repurchase Plan. During the third quarter, we purchased 3,026,100 shares of our Boardcommon stock for $104.2 million, representing approximately 21% of Directors effective April 2,the $500 million repurchase authorization.

Our Residential Heating & Cooling segment duesegment’s sales decreased for the third quarter of 2007 compared to the continued downturn in residential new construction. In the first three months of 2006, our Residential Heating & Cooling segment experienced strong sales of HVAC equipmentprior year quarter largely due to above average demand as our customers purchased remaining 10 to 12 seasonal energy efficiency rating, or “SEER,”weak residential central air conditioning products or purchased new residential central air conditioning products meeting the minimum 13 SEER standard under the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987, as amended (“NAECA”), which was effective as of January 23, 2006.

Gross Profit
     Gross profit was $204.6$293.6 million for the three months ended March 31,third quarter of 2007 compared to $209.1$256.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a decreaseprior year quarter, an increase of $4.5$36.8 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $3.2decreased $6.5 million, or 1.7%3.2%, in 2007. Higher SG&A costs are attributablefor the third quarter of 2007 compared to increased salaries and benefits and an increase in depreciation of IT assets. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees.the prior year quarter. As a percentage of total net sales, SG&A expenses increaseddecreased to 24.1%18.9% for the three months ended March 31,third quarter of 2007 from 23.2%19.7% for the three months ended March 31,third quarter of 2006. A decrease in volume related selling expenses had a favorable impact on SG&A expenses. Additionally, cost reduction initiatives resulted in lower SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior year quarter. These savings were partially offset by a one-time pension settlement charge of $3.9 million related to the retirement of our former chief executive officer and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

     In the third quarter of 2007, we announced plans to close our Hearth Products operations in Lynwood, California and consolidate our U.S. factory-built fireplace manufacturing operations in our facility in Union City, Tennessee. In connection with this consolidation project, we recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $2.4 million in our Residential Heating & Cooling segment for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The restructuring charges primarily related to severance related costs and the disposal of certain long-lived assets. The consolidation will be a phased process and is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2008. We currently expect to incur pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $2.7 million over the next six months due to this consolidation project and anticipate the consolidation leading to annual cost reductions of over $2.0 million beginning in April of 2008.
     In the second quarter of 2007, we reorganized our corporate administrative function and eliminated the position of chief administrative officer. In connection with this action, we entered into negotiations with our former chief administrative officer to settle the terms of his employment agreement. Restructuring expense of $6.6 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2007, which represented the $8.0 million estimate of the amounts to be paid to settle the employment agreement, net of $1.4 million of previously recorded stock-based compensation expense. In September 2007, we reached an agreement to settle the terms of the former chief administrative officer’s employment agreement. As a result, we recorded an additional $1.1 million of restructuring expense related to this matter in the third quarter of 2007. We do not expect to incur any material costs related to this reorganization in the future.
     On October 10, 2007, we announced plans to close our refrigeration operations in Danville, Illinois and consolidate our Danville manufacturing, support, and warehouse functions in our Tifton, Georgia and Stone Mountain, Georgia operations. The consolidation will be a phased process and is expected to be completed over the next 18 months with pre-tax restructuring-related charges of approximately $17 million over that time. We expect the consolidation to lead to annual pre-tax cost reductions of over $6 million beginning in 2009.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates
     Investments in affiliates in which the Company doeswe do not exercise control and has a 20% or more voting interestbut have significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $0.6$0.2 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31,third quarter of 2007 as compared to $2.1$2.5 million for the same period in 2006. The increase iswas due to the performance of our unconsolidated affiliates.
Interest Expense, netNet

The higher net interest expense was primarily due primarily to higher interest expense and a decrease in interest income earned during the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2007. Interest expense increased due to higher debt balances as the result of our share repurchases. Interest income decreased due to lower rates in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the average amount invested over the three months was less than that in the same period in 2006.prior year quarter.

Year-to-Date Through September 30, 2007 Compared to Year-to-Date Through September 30, 2006 – Consolidated Results
Net Sales
  ��  Year-to-date net sales increased $21.4 million, or 0.8%, to $2,863.1 million in 2007 from $2,841.7 million in 2006. The increase in net sales was due to increased volumes and favorable price and product mix changes in our Commercial Heating & Cooling, Service Experts, and Refrigeration segments, as well as a favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $44.4 million. Net sales decreased in our Residential Heating & Cooling segment largely due to decreased demand in the residential new construction market.
Gross Profit
     Year-to-date gross profit was $787.3 million in 2007 compared to $736.2 million in 2006, an increase of $51.1 million. Gross profit margin increased to 27.5% for 2007 compared to 25.9% for 2006 due to favorable sales mix changes and volume increases. Price increases partially offset increases in commodity and component costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Year-to-date SG&A expenses decreased to $582.7 million in 2007 compared to $589.9 million in 2006. As a percentage of total net sales, SG&A expenses were 20.4% for 2007 and 20.8% for 2006. Year-over-year reductions in unit volumes decreased volume related selling expenses included in SG&A expenses. Additionally, cost management and cost reduction initiatives had a favorable impact on SG&A expenses in the first nine months ended March 31,of 2007 as compared to the prior year. These savings in SG&A expenses were partially offset by a one-time pension settlement charge of $3.9 million recorded in the third quarter of 2007 related to the retirement of our former chief executive officer.
(Gains), Losses and Other Expenses, Net
     Year-to-date (gains), losses and other expenses, net were $(5.2) million in 2007 and $(47.3) million in 2006 and included the following (in millions):
         
  Year-to-Date September 30,

Other items, net  0.6   (0.3)
       
(Gains), losses and other expenses, net $(5.2) $(47.3)
       
     Realized and unrealized gains on settled futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges decreased as we had fewer futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006, futures contracts entered into that met established accounting criteria were formally designated as cash flow hedges. For more information see Note 15 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Restructuring Charges
     We recognized $14.2 million and $13.1 million in year-to-date restructuring charges in 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007 we incurred restructuring charges of $2.4 million related to the consolidation of our Hearth Products operations, $7.7 million related to the reorganization of our corporate administrative function and $3.2 million related to the Allied Air Enterprises Consolidation. Charges recognized in 2006 primarily related to the Allied Air Enterprises Consolidation, which was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2007.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates
     Investments in affiliates in which we do not exercise control but have significant influence are accounted for

26


using the equity method of accounting. Year-to-date equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $1.4 million to $8.9 million in 2007 as compared to $7.5 million in 2006. The increase was due to the performance of our unconsolidated affiliates.
Interest Expense, Net
     Year-to-date interest expense, net, increased by $1.2 million to $4.8 million in 2007 from $3.6 million in 2006. The higher net interest expense was due primarily to an increase in interest expense and a decrease in interest income earned. Interest expense increased due to higher debt balances as the result of our share repurchases. Interest income decreased due to lower average investment balances and lower rates in 2007 as compared to 2006.
Provision for Income Taxes
     The year-to-date provision for income taxes was $69.3 million in 2007 compared to $59.4 million in 2006. The year-to-date effective tax rate was 34.8% and 32.2% for 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our effective rates differ from the statutory federal rate of 35% for certain items, such as a $3.2 million benefit in 2007 from a change in estimated gain from the prior year, state and local taxes, non-deductible expenses, foreign operating losses for which no tax benefits have been recognized and foreign taxes at rates other than 35%.
Year-to-Date Through September 30, 2007 Compared to Year-to-Date Through September 30, 2006 – Results by Segment
     The key performance indicators of our segments’ profitability are net sales and operational profit. We define segment profit (loss) as a segment’s income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations excluding (gains), losses and other expenses, net; restructuring charges; goodwill impairment; interest expense, net; and other expense (income), net; less (plus) realized gains (losses) on settled futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges and the ineffective portion of settled cash flow hedges; and less (plus) foreign currency exchange gains (losses).

% of net sales  10.9%  11.5%        
     Year-to-date net sales in our Residential Heating & Cooling segment decreased $148.7 million, or 10.2%, to $1,315.5 million in 2007 from $1,464.2 million in 2006. Net sales decreased primarily due to reduced unit volumes attributable to the U.S. residential new construction market. Unit volumes have generally been lower across the residential HVAC industry in 2007 as compared to 2006 due to softness in the U.S. residential new construction market. We believe the decrease in our unit volumes is consistent with industry trends. The decrease in net sales attributable to lower unit volumes was partially offset by an increase in sales prices implemented as a result of higher commodity and component costs.
     Year-to-date segment profit in Residential Heating & Cooling decreased 15.1% to $143.2 million in 2007 from $168.7 million in 2006. Segment profit margins decreaseddeclined from 11.5% for 2006 to 8.8%10.9% for 2007. The decrease in segment profit was primarily driven by a decrease in unit volumes. Adjustments to failure rates for products we no longer manufacture and the higher cost of claims increased our warranty costs. Favorable price changes partially offset the decrease in segment profit. Lower sales volumes resulted in a reduction of our freight and commission expenses. Additionally, our cost saving initiatives helped to reduce SG&A expenses.

The increase in net sales was primarily due to favorable price and product mix changes in our domestic operations as customer demand increased for our high-efficiency rooftop units. The favorable impact of the change in foreign currency exchange rates increased net sales by $15.3 million.
     Year-to-date segment profit in Commercial Heating & Cooling increased 44.0% to $76.6 million in 2007 from $53.2 million in 2006. As a percentage of net sales, segment profit increased from 9.6% for 2006 to 11.8% for 2007. An increase in demand in our international markets combined with price increases and a favorable product mix shift in our domestic operations has improved segment profit. Additionally, the strategic initiatives related to our Commercial Regional Distribution Network in North America helped to lower freight costs and further contributed to the Commercial Heating & Cooling segment’s year over year increase in profits.

     Year-to-date net sales in our Service Experts segment increased $19.2 million, or 3.9%, to $512.0 million in 2007 from $492.8 million in 2006. The increase in net sales primarily relates to favorable changes in the mix of our sales and services. Residential sales in our Canadian operations increased in 2007 as compared to 2006 in both residential service and replacement and residential new construction due to favorable market conditions. Additionally, 2007 year-to-date net sales increased in our U.S. operations. As a percentage of total sales, U.S. residential service and replacement sales increased year over year, offsetting a decrease in sales caused by the decline in residential new construction sales.
     Year-to-date segment profit in Service Experts increased $8.2 million to $18.4 million in 2007 from $10.2 million in 2006. As a percentage of net sales, segment profit increased from 2.1% for 2006 to 3.6% for 2007. The improvement in our margins iswas primarily caused by a favorable change in sales and service mix as a larger percentage of our sales came from higher margin service and replacement business in 2007 as compared to 2006 coupled with an increase in sales volumes. We incurred higher commissions expense in 2007 related to the increase in residential service and replacement sales.

     Year-to-date net sales in our Refrigeration segment increased $55.5 million, or 14.1%, to $450.1 million in 2007 from $394.6 million in 2006. The Refrigeration segment’s sales increase was primarily due to an increase in volumes in Europe, Australia, and Brazil. Favorable market conditions in Europe and Australia and an increase in exports in South America improved our foreign operations’ unit volumes. Additionally, increased prices resulting from an increase in commodity and component costs contributed to higher sales. The favorable impact of the change in foreign currency exchange rates increased net sales by $23.3 million.
     Year-to-date segment profit in our Refrigeration segment increased $6.4 million to $46.6 million in 2007 from $40.2 million in 2006. Segment profit margins increased to 10.4% for 2007 from 10.2% for 2006. Increases in sales volumes increased segment profit. However, a change in the product mix and geographic mix of our sales as we generated more sales in foreign markets which haveof products with lower margins during the first half of the year. Additionally, higher commodity and component costs that were not fully offset by price increases lowered profit margins. In addition, our SG&A

     Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements are generally met through internally generated funds, bank lines of credit and a revolving period asset securitization arrangement. Working capital needs are generally greater in the first and second quarter due to the seasonal nature of our business cycle.
     As of March 31,September 30, 2007, our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 15%15.6%, up from 13%12.7% as of March 31,September 30, 2006, primarily due to an increaseincremental $40.6 million of $21.6 milliondebt in our outstanding2007. Higher debt balances. The higher debt balance iswas primarily attributabledue to increased borrowings related to the use of cash from operations and the repurchase of approximately 6.15.4 million shares of our common stock for $163.1$179.8 million since September 30, 2006 under the stock repurchase program adopted by2005 Share Repurchase Plan and the Board of Directors in September 2005 (the “2005 Stock2007 Share Repurchase Program”) since March 31, 2006.Plan.

Net Cash Used inProvided by Operating Activities
     DuringYear-to-date cash provided by operating activities in 2007 was $110.5 million compared to $84.8 million in 2006. The primary reason for the increase in cash provided by operating activities was a change in inventory from an increase of $45.1 million in 2007 compared to an increase of $96.9 million in 2006. Inventory increased in the first threenine months of 2007 cash useddue to a normal seasonal increase. However, inventory increased more in operating activitiesthe first nine months of 2006 primarily due to (i) a planned increase in finished goods to manage through the Allied Air Enterprises Consolidation, (ii) increased costs of 13 SEER units during the 2006 transition, and (iii) increasing commodity costs impacting raw material inventory costs during the first nine months of 2006. The impact of the inventory improvement was $75.1partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $111.3 million in 2007 compared to $50.3$93.3 million in 2006. The increase in cash used in operations isaccounts receivable was primarily due to the timing of payment for income taxes. Our 2005 federal tax liability was paid in its entirety during 2005. A portion of our 2006 federal tax liability was deferred and paidincreased sales in the first three months of 2007.third quarter as well as geographic and customer mix. Our cash usedthird quarter sales were modestly higher in operating activities is also higher due to lower net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. In addition, the higher use of cash was due to increased cash payments for restructuring activities in 2007. These changes were partially offset by a larger increase in accounts payable during 2007 as compared to 2006.

     As of March 31,September 30, 2007, we had outstanding long-term debt obligations totaling $143.7 million.$156.7 million, including $61.3 million of current maturities. The amount outstanding consisted primarily of outstanding domestic promissory notes with an aggregate principal outstanding of $107.2 million. The promissory notes mature at various dates through 2010 and have interest rates ranging from 6.73% to 8.00%.

The revolving credit facility, which matures in July 2010, has a borrowing capacity of $400 million.2010. The facility contains certain financial covenants and bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) the greater of the bank’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin equal to 0.475% to 1.20% depending upon the ratio of total funded debt-to-adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), as defined in the facility. We pay a facility fee, depending upon the ratio of total funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA, equal to 0.15% to 0.30% of the capacity. The facility includes restrictive covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, encumber our assets, sell our assets and make certain payments, including amounts for share repurchases and dividends.
     Our domestic revolving and term loans contain certain financial covenant restrictions. As of September 30, 2007, we believe we were in compliance with all covenant requirements. Our facility and promissory notes are guaranteed by our material subsidiaries.
     We have additional borrowing capacity through several foreign facilities governed by agreements between us and a syndicate of banks, used primarily to finance seasonal borrowing needs of our foreign subsidiaries. We had $4.8 million of obligations outstanding through our foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007.
As of March 31,September 30, 2007, $16.2$18.0 million of cash and cash equivalents werewas restricted primarily due to routine lockbox collections and letters of credit issued with respect to the operations of our captive insurance subsidiary, which expire on December 31, 2007. These letter of credit restrictions can be transferred to our revolving lines of credit as needed.
     OurOn October 12, 2007, we entered into a $650 million Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank (the “Administrative Agent”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, and the lenders party thereto.

The revolving credit facility includes a subfacility for swingline loans containof up to $50 million and provides for the issuance of letters of credit for the full amount of the credit facility. The revolving loans bear interest at either (i) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of between 0.5% and 1% that is based on the Company’s Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and (b) the prime rate set by Bank of America, N.A. We may prepay the revolving loans at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs in the case of Eurodollar loans.
     We will pay a facility fee in the range of 0.125% to 0.25% based on our Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio. We will also pay a letter of credit fee in the range of 0.5% to 1% based on our Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio.
     The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants relating to leverage and interest coverage. Other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement restrict, among other things, mergers, asset dispositions, guarantees, debt, liens, acquisitions, investments, affiliate transactions and our ability to make restricted payments.
     The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, lenders with a majority of the aggregate commitments may require the Administrative Agent to terminate our right to borrow under the Credit Agreement and accelerate amounts due under the Credit Agreement (except for a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically become due and payable and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate).
     Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain financial covenant restrictions. As of March 31,our material domestic subsidiaries, including Lennox Industries Inc., Allied Air Enterprises Inc., Service Experts Inc. and Lennox Global Ltd.
     On July 25, 2007, we believeannounced that our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan for $500 million, pursuant to which we were in compliance with all covenant requirements.plan to repurchase shares of our common stock through open market purchases. Based on the closing price of our common stock on July 24, 2007, a $500 million repurchase would represent over 20% of our market capitalization. We currently intend to fund the stock repurchases through a combination of cash from operations and third party borrowings and to fully execute the repurchase by the end of the third quarter of 2008. The 2007 Share Repurchase Plan terminates and replaces the 2005 Share Repurchase Plan.
     We periodically review our capital structure, including our primary bank facility, to ensure that it has adequate liquidity. We believe that cash flowflows from operations, as well as available borrowings under our amended revolving credit facility and other existing sources of funding, will be sufficient to fund our operations forand the foreseeable future.share repurchases during the term of the new share repurchase plan. 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     In addition to the revolving and term loans described above, we utilize the following financing arrangements in the course of funding our operations:
  Trade accounts receivable are sold on a non-recourse basis to third parties. The sales are reported as a reduction of Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31,September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, we had not sold any of such accounts receivable. If receivables are sold, the related discount from face value is included in Selling, General and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
  We also lease real estate and machinery and equipment pursuant to leases that, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (“GAAP”), are not capitalized on the balance sheet, including high-turnover equipment such as autosautomobiles and service vehicles and short-lived equipment such as personal computers.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
     Our results of operations can be affected by changes in exchange rates. Net sales and expenses in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars for financial reporting purposes based on the average

exchange rate for the period. Net sales from outside the United States represented 25.5%26.4% and 21.1%22.6% and 25.6% and 21.4% of total net sales for the three monthsthird quarter ended March 31,and year-to-date through September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Historically, foreign currency transaction gains (losses) have not had a material effect on our overall operations. The impact of a 10% change in exchange rates on income from operations is estimated to be approximately $5.6$6.4 million on an annual basis.
     We enter into commodity futures contracts to stabilize prices expected to be paid for raw materials and parts containing high copper and aluminum content. These contracts are for quantities equal to or less than quantities expected to be consumed in future production. As of March 31,September 30, 2007, we had metal futures contracts maturing at

27


various dates through June 2008February 2009 with a fair value as an asset of $9.3$11.3 million. The impact of a 10% change in commodity prices would have a significant impact on our results from operations on an annual basis, absent any other contravening actions.
     Our results of operations can be affected by changes in interest rates due to variable rates of interest on our revolving credit facilities. A 10% change in interest rates would not be material to our results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
