Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(in millions, except share and per share data)

 

1.              Background and Basis of Presentation

 

Hillenbrand, Inc. (“Hillenbrand”) is a global diversified industrial company that makes and sells premium business-to-business products and services for a wide variety of industries.  Hillenbrand has two business platforms:  Batesville and the Process Equipment Group.  Batesville is a recognized leader in the North American funeral products industry,Group and theBatesville.  The Process Equipment Group is a recognized leader in the design and production of equipment and systems used in processing applications.applications and Batesville® is a recognized leader in the North American funeral products industry.  “Hillenbrand,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar words refer to Hillenbrand Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hillenbrand and its wholly owned subsidiaries.subsidiaries, including less than 100% ownership in certain Coperion Capital GmbH (“Coperion”) subsidiaries as a result of the acquisition of Coperion that closed December 1, 2012.  These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)(“SEC”) for interim financial statements and therefore do not include all information required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP)(“GAAP”).  The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.2012.  Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations and cash flow as of the dates and for the periods presented.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates presented.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Examples of such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition under the percentage-of-completion method, the establishment of reserves related to customer rebates, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranties, early-pay discounts, inventories, income taxes, accrued litigation, self-insurance, and progress toward achievement of performance criteria under the incentive compensation programs.

 

2.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, filed with the SEC on November 28, 2011.2012.  The following represent additions and changesrepresents an addition to significantour accounting policies due to the acquisition of Coperion.

Revenue Recognition

With the acquisition of Coperion, a portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from long-term manufacturing contracts.  This revenue is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion method.  Under this method, revenue is recognized based upon the costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated cost of the project and are included in net revenues on the Form 10-K.consolidated income statement.  Revenues in excess of billings are presented as unbilled receivables from long-term manufacturing contracts and deposits in excess of billings are presented as liabilities from long-term manufacturing contracts on the consolidated balance sheet.  For the three months ended December 31, 2012, approximately 10% of the Company’s revenue related to revenue from these long-term manufacturing contracts.  Revenue for components, replacement parts, and service is recognized on a completed contract basis when title and risk of loss passes to the customer.

 

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement).  The new standard provides updates to measurement guidance and enhanced disclosure requirements.  The most significant change is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs.  The new disclosure requirements were effective for Hillenbrand beginning January 1, 2012.  The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements for the period presented.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titled Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This update eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.  An entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements.  Each component of net income and other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts, net income and other comprehensive income, must be displayed under either alternative. The new disclosure requirements will be effective for Hillenbrand in our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2012.  As the new standard relates to presentation only, we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.became

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titled Intangibles — Goodwill and Other:  Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  This update gives the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and, in some cases, skipping the two-step impairment test.  The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3.Business Acquisitions

We completed the acquisition of Rotex Global, LLC, on August 31, 2011.  We have recorded the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values on the acquisition date.  As expected, tax-related purchase accounting adjustments were recorded as of June 30, 2012.  The adjustments increased goodwill and net deferred taxes and other liabilities by $6.5.

The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for the Company, including Rotex for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies were combined as of the beginning of the period presented.�� The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations if the acquisition had actually taken place at the beginning of the period presented.  This pro forma financial information should not be considered representative of future consolidated results of operations.

5.Financing Receivables

As of June 30, 2012, Batesville had $6.8 of customer notes receivable, primarily representing long-term payment plans negotiated to collect unpaid balances.  These notes generally carry repayment terms of up to five years and had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.3% at June 30, 2012.  The current portion of these notes ($4.1) is included in trade receivables, and the long-term portion ($2.7) is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2012.

We evaluate the recoverability of each note receivable quarterly and record allowances based upon the customer’s credit score, historical experience, and individual customer collection experience.  As of June 30, 2012, $2.7 of customer notes receivable were over 31 days past due.  We have established an allowance of $0.9 related to these notes, with a gross balance of $2.1 as of June 30, 2012.   There has not been a significant change in the reserve during the periods presented.  Each quarter we perform a detailed review of all notes to determine whether any amounts should be charged off.  Amounts are charged off when they are deemed to no longer be collectible.

6.3.Business Acquisitions

We completed the acquisition of Coperion on December 1, 2012, in a transaction valued at $540.7.  The aggregate purchase consideration consisted of $269.1 of cash, net of cash acquired, and the assumption of $146.0 of debt and $125.6 of pension liabilities.  We utilized $426.3 of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand to finance the acquisition, including the repayment of the $146.0 of debt outstanding under Coperion’s prior financing arrangements.

Based in Stuttgart, Germany, Coperion is a global leader in the manufacture of compounding, extrusion, and bulk material handling equipment used in a broad range of industries, including plastics, chemicals, food processing, pharmaceutical, and aluminum.  Coperion has been in business since 1879, currently with nine manufacturing sites in Germany, the United States (“U.S.”), China, and India, and sales offices in approximately thirty locations in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.  Coperion had approximately two thousand employees worldwide as of December 31, 2012.  Approximately 30% of Coperion’s revenue is derived from replacement parts and service, generating a large portion of recurring business due to its well-positioned service network and active installed base of machines across the world.

Coperion revenues consist of large system sales, equipment, components, replacement parts, and service.  Large system sales are fulfilled over twelve to eighteen months on average, whereby customers generally pay a deposit and make progress payments in advance of delivery.  These progress payments allow Coperion to operate its business at attractive working capital levels.  System sales include many components, including those manufactured by Coperion as well as materials manufactured by third-parties.  The proportion of third-party-sourced materials (that yield lower margins than materials produced internally) in system sales is greater than that of our other Process Equipment Group businesses.  As a result, we expect gross profit margins in the Process Equipment Group to be lower following the Coperion acquisition.  However, we believe that providing complete system sales gives the Process Equipment Group a distinct competitive advantage, as many customers prefer doing business with one trusted vendor that can provide a complete system.

This acquisition is the largest in the Company’s history and is an important step in our strategic plans to further diversify Hillenbrand and accelerate the growth of the Process Equipment Group business platform.  The integration of Coperion with the Process Equipment Group will be a key initiative for the next 18 to 24 months.  Combining our product offerings to provide a more complete system solution is the highest priority from an integration perspective.  In addition, we believe leveraging Coperion’s global infrastructure will enable the existing businesses within the Process Equipment Group platform to enter new global markets more quickly.  Likewise, we expect the Process Equipment Group’s existing strong U.S. sales network will enhance Coperion’s expansion in North America.  Finally, the application of the Company’s lean tools and principles to Coperion’s operations is expected to contribute to improved margins and increased customer satisfaction.

We incurred $8.2 of net business acquisition costs associated with the acquisition during the three months ended December 31, 2012.  These costs consist of $9.0 of operating expenses partially offset by $0.8 of other income (see Note 11).

In connection with our Coperion acquisition, we acquired less than 100% ownership in certain Coperion subsidiaries.  Following the acquisition date, 100% of Coperion’s results was consolidated into our Process Equipment Group. The portion of the business that is not owned by the Company is presented as noncontrolling interests within equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income attributable to the noncontrolling interests is separately reported within the Consolidated Statements of Income, and is also excluded from total Hillenbrand Shareholder’s Equity.

In November 2012, we fully exercised the $300 accordion feature under our revolving credit facility to increase our financing capacity.  This increase consisted of a $200 term loan and a $100 increase in our borrowing capacity under

our revolving credit facility, to $700.  The Company also has the potential, under certain circumstances and with the lenders’ approval, to increase the total borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility by an additional $300.  Deferred financing costs of $3.5 are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the revolving credit facility.

 

As of June 30,December 31, 2012, we (i) had $6.5$180.0 in outstanding letters of credit issued under our $400$700 revolving credit facility, (ii) were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement for the revolving credit facility, and (iii) had $268.5$98.5 of remaining borrowing capacity available.available under the revolving credit facility.  The weighted-average interest rate was 0.7% for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  We entered into a new $600 five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facilityrates on July 27, 2012, which replaced our $400 revolving credit facility.  See Note 18 for further details.  Under the Distribution Agreement with Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc., our ability to borrow usingborrowings under the revolving credit facility for certain strategic transactions such as acquisitions may be limited.  The Distribution Agreement is described fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kwere 1.35% and 0.7% for the yearthree-month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 1.81% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.  In the normal course of business, the Process Equipment Group is required to provide customers bank guarantees in support of performance, warranty, advance payment, and other contract obligations.  This form of trade finance is customary in the industry and, as a result, we are required to maintain adequate capacity to provide the guarantee.

 

As of June 30,December 31, 2012, our Swiss subsidiary maintained additional availability of $18.3$16.2 through local credit facilities collateralizedsecured by cash or real property.  There were no borrowings under these facilities as of June 30,December 31, 2012, and availability was reduced by $4.9$4.8 for outstanding bank guarantees.  Coperion has a $66.0 guaranty facility under which availability was reduced for outstanding bank guarantees totaling $13.9.  We had $9.9$11.7 additional outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees with other financial institutions and restricted cash of $1.6 at June 30,December 31, 2012.

 

On July 9, 2010, we issued $150 fixed-rate senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2020 (the Notes)“Notes”).  The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.5%, payable semi-annually in arrears.  The Notes were issued at an original issue discount of $1.6, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method, resulting in an annual interest rate of 5.65%.  Deferred financing costs of $2.1 are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes.

 

7.6.              Retirement Benefits

In connection with the Coperion acquisition, we acquired the Coperion defined benefit pension plans based in Germany and the U.S., which were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date.  The aggregate fair value of the total projected benefit obligations acquired was $141.6 and the plan assets at fair value totaled $16.0, resulting in an assumed liability of $125.6 at December 1, 2012.  We estimate we will be required to make minimum contributions of $7.7 during the remainder of fiscal year 2013 related to these Coperion defined benefit pension plans, although we may make additional discretionary contributions.

The year-over-year change in the effective tax rate was largely due to the $10.4 reduction of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rateexpense for the three months ended December 31, 2011, attributable to the effectivepermanent reinvestment assertion on historical earnings of certain Swiss operations.  For the three months ended December 31, 2012, we recognized a discrete income tax rate:

Inbenefit of $0.8 related to changes in California tax law, and we recognized a discrete income tax charge of $1.1 related to non-deductible transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of K-Tron in April 2010, we recorded a deferred tax liability related to the historical earnings of its Swiss operations that would be subject to U.S. income taxes upon earnings repatriation.  With the acquisition of Rotex, we identified the need to retain cash overseas to support the continued growth of the Process Equipment Group and began developing a plan to integrate Rotex into our existing international structure.  As a result, during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we asserted the K-Tron historical earnings to be permanently reinvested.  Accordingly, a tax benefit of $10.4 was recognized, representing the full release of the deferred tax liability.  During the period ended March 31, 2012, we completed the plan of integrating Rotex into our existing international structure.  As of June 30, 2012, U.S. federal and state income taxes have not been provided on accumulated undistributed earnings of substantially all our foreign subsidiaries, as these earnings are considered permanently reinvested.Coperion acquisition.

At June 30,December 31, 2012 and 2011, potential dilutive effects of 1.82.0 million and 1.71.8 million shares relating to unvested performance-based stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the related performance period is not yet complete. The effects of these performance-based shares will be dilutive in the future to the extent various levels of performance criteria are met.

Litigation

 

General

 

Like most companies, we are involved on an ongoing basis in claims, lawsuits, and government proceedings relating to our operations, including environmental, antitrust, patent infringement, business practices, commercial transactions, product and general liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability, employment, and other matters.  The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty.  An estimated loss from these contingencies is recognized when we believe it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated; however, it is difficult to measure the actual loss that might be incurred related to litigation.  If a loss is not considered probable and/or cannot be reasonably estimated, we are required to make a disclosure if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred.  Legal fees associated with claims and lawsuits are generally expensed as incurred.

 

Claims other than employment and related matters have deductibles and self-insured retentions ranging from $0.5 to $1.0 per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the type of coverage and policy period.  Outside insurance companies and third-party claims administrators assist in establishing individual claim reserves, and an independent outside actuary provides estimates of ultimate projected losses, including incurred but not reported claims, which are used to establish reserves for losses.  Claim reserves for employment-related matters are established based upon advice from internal and external counsel and historical settlement information for claims and related fees, when such amounts are considered probable of payment.

 

The recorded amounts represent our best estimate of the costs we will incur in relation to such exposures, but it is possible that actual costs will differ from those estimates.

 

Antitrust Litigation

In 2005, the Funeral Consumers Alliance, Inc. (FCA) and a number of individual consumer casket purchasers filed a purported class action antitrust lawsuit on behalf of certain consumer purchasers of Batesville® caskets against the Company and our former parent company, Hillenbrand Industries, Inc., now Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (Hill-Rom),

1113



Table of Contents

and three national funeral home businesses (the FCA Action).  A more detailed history of the litigation has been disclosed in our previous filings.

The lawsuit claimed, among other things, that the Company’s maintenance and enforcement of, and alleged modifications to, its long-standing policy of selling caskets only to licensed funeral homes were the product of a conspiracy among the Company, the other defendants, and others to exclude “independent casket discounters,” resulting in suppressed competition in the alleged market for caskets and allegedly leading consumers to pay higher than competitive prices for caskets.

Plaintiffs in the FCA Action have generally sought monetary damages on behalf of a class of purchasers of Batesville caskets, trebling of any such damages that may be awarded, recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, and injunctive relief.  The plaintiffs in the FCA Action filed a report indicating that they were seeking damages ranging from approximately $947 to approximately $1,460 before trebling on behalf of the purported class of consumers they seek to represent, based on approximately one million casket purchases by the purported class members.

The Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas denied class certification on March 26, 2009, and ultimately dismissed the lawsuit on September 24, 2010, concluding that “plaintiffs shall take nothing by their suit.”  Currently, the FCA Action is on appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.  Plaintiffs have appealed both the District Court’s order of dismissal and the order denying class certification.  The parties have submitted all appellate briefs, and the Court of Appeals heard oral argument from the parties on December 5, 2011.  The Court of Appeals has not yet issued its ruling affirming or reversing the District Court.

If plaintiffs succeed in overturning the judgment, reversing the District Court order denying class certification, and a class is subsequently certified in the FCA Action filed against Hill-Rom and Batesville, and if the plaintiffs prevail at a trial of the class action, the damages awarded to the plaintiffs, which would be trebled as a matter of law, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flow.  In antitrust actions such as the FCA Action, the plaintiffs may elect to enforce any judgment against any or all of the co-defendants, who have no statutory contribution rights against each other.  We and Hill-Rom have entered into a Judgment Sharing Agreement that apportions the costs and any potential liabilities associated with this litigation between us and Hill-Rom.

The defendants are vigorously contesting both liability and the plaintiffs’ damages theories.

As of June 30, 2012, we had incurred approximately $29.2 in cumulative legal and related costs associated with the FCA Action since its inception.  Costs incurred in 2012 were $0.5.

Matthews Litigation

 

In August 2010, the York Group, Inc., Milso Industries Corporation, and Matthews International Corporation (collectively the plaintiffs)“Matthews”) filed a lawsuit against Scott Pontone and Batesville Casket Company, Inc. in the United States District Court, Western District of Pennsylvania, which was subsequently amended by the plaintiffsMatthews in February 2011 to include two additional defendants, Harry Pontone and Pontone Casket Company, LLC (the Litigation)“Matthews Litigation”).  The Matthews Litigation arises, in part, as a result of a Marketing Consulting Agreement entered into between Batesville and Pontone Casket Company effective June 24, 2010, and Batesville’s hiring of two former employees of certain plaintiffMatthews entities in June 2010.  Scott Pontone provides consulting services to Batesville pursuant to the Marketing Consulting Agreement.  The plaintiffs allegeAgreement entered into between Batesville and Pontone Casket Company.  Matthews alleges that Scott Pontone and Harry Pontone breached contractual and business obligations with the plaintiffsMatthews and that Batesville induced certain of those breaches as part of its sales initiatives in the New York metropolitan area.

 

The plaintiffs claimMatthews claims that they haveit has lost revenue and will lose future revenue in the New York metropolitan area, although the amount of those alleged damages is unspecified.  The plaintiffs seekMatthews seeks to: (i) recover compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs; and (ii) enjoin certain activities by Harry Pontone, Scott Pontone, Pontone Casket Company, and Batesville and its employees in the New York metropolitan area.  The plaintiffs had alsoAlthough Matthews originally requestedmoved for a preliminary injunction, but withdrew that request after expedited discovery.

The Company believes itBatesville acted lawfully and intends to defend this matter vigorously.  Batesville also has several counterclaims pending against plaintiffs in the Litigation, including but not limited to:  (i) tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and unfair competition; (ii) abuse of process; (iii) malicious prosecution; and (iv) unjust enrichment.  The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and liquidity.  If the plaintiffs prevailMatthews prevails at trial, however, the outcome could be materially adverse to the Company’s operating results or cash flowflows for the particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results or cash flowflows for such period.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.  The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances.  The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:

Level 1:Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3:Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

17.15.       Restructuring

 

During the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2012, Hillenbrand incurred $2.4$0.6 of restructuring costs ($1.40.1 at the Process Equipment Group business platform, $0.3 at the Batesville business platform, and $1.0$0.2 at the Process Equipment Group)Corporate).  These costs consisted of $1.2 of termination benefits at Batesville and the Process Equipment Group$0.4 classified as cost of goods sold and $0.2 classified as well as $1.2 of operating expenses that consisted of termination benefits at Batesville and costs related to the consolidation of manufacturing facilitiesseverance and other restructuring costs from actions taken in the Process Equipment Group.  Restructuring charges for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2012 totaled $3.4 at Batesville and $3.8 at the Process Equipment Group.  Future chargesfiscal 2012.  Expected remaining payments related to these restructuringsactions are not expected to be significant.

Batesville management consistently sizes their operations to respond to changing market conditions and consumer preferences, and continuously evaluates capacity to ensure they are making the products their customers require in the most efficient manner possible.  Earlier in the year Batesville consolidated its first and second shifts at one of its plants.  In the third quarter, Batesville incurred $1.4 of restructuring charges related to a workforce reduction.

We continue to see progress in the implementation of Hillenbrand Lean Business principles in our Process Equipment Group.  Earlier this fiscal year, we strategically realigned the Process Equipment Group through the consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities.  This resulted in the closure of one manufacturing plant enabling the Process Equipment Group to more efficiently meet customer needs, while continuing to provide the same high-quality products and services.material.

 

1416.Subsequent Event

On January 9, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, Coperion Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was joined as a party to the Guaranty dated July 27, 2012 (“Guaranty”), by certain subsidiaries of the Company (including Coperion Corporation, the “Guarantors”), and entered into in connection with the Company’s revolving credit facility.  In accordance with the terms of the revolving credit facility, Coperion Corporation was required to join the Guaranty as a material domestic subsidiary of the Company following the acquisition of Coperion Capital GmbH.

On January 10, 2013, the Company, the Guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association (“Trustee”) entered into a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guarantors agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Company under its 5.50% Notes due 2020 issued pursuant to an Indenture entered into on July 9, 2010 between the Company and the Trustee.

18.Subsequent Event

On July 27, 2012, we entered into a $600 five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility available in multiple currencies to replace the $400 revolving credit facility.  Borrowings under the new credit facility will bear interest at variable rates plus a margin amount based upon our leverage.  The interest rate would be approximately 1.3% based upon our current leverage at June 30, 2012.  In addition, there is a facility fee also based upon our leverage.  The new credit facility matures on July 27, 2017.  Deferred financing costs associated with the new facility are expected to be $2.7 and will be amortized to interest expense over the five-year term.

“We expect that future revenue associated with the Process Equipment Group will be influenced by order backlog.”

 

That is a forward-looking statement, as indicated by the word “expect” and by the clear meaning of the sentence.

 

Other words that could indicate we are making forward-looking statements include:

 

intend

 

believe

 

plan

 

expect

 

may

 

goal

 

would

pursue

 

estimate

 

will

 

forecast

 

continue

 

could

should

 

This is not an exhaustive list.  Our intentlist, but is intended to provide examplesgive you an idea of how readers mightwe try to identify forward-looking statements.  The absence of any of these words, however, does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

 

Here is the key pointForward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements.  Any number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, could cause our performance to differ significantly from what is described in the forward-looking statements.

 

For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements, see the discussions under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of thethis Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.10-Q.  We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Executive Overview

(in millions throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis)

 

The following discussion provides information regarding significant activity and compares our results for the three and nine-month periodsthree-month period ending June 30,December 31, 2012, to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  We begin the discussion at a consolidated level and then provide separate detail about Batesville, the Process Equipment Group, Batesville, and Corporate.  These financial results are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP)(“GAAP”).

 

We also provide certain non-GAAP operating performance measures.  These non-GAAP measures are referred to as “adjusted” and exclude expenses associated with backlog amortization, inventory step-up, business acquisitions, restructuring, and antitrust litigation.  The measures also exclude the tax benefit of the international integration described in Item 1,the prior year and expenses associated with long-term incentive compensation related to the international integration, backlog amortization, antitrust litigation, business acquisitions, restructuring, and sales tax recoveries, as well as theintegration.  The related income tax.tax for all of these items is also excluded.  This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

We use this non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results.  The information can also be used to perform trend analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items.  We believe this information provides a higher degree of transparency.

Three Months Ended June 30,The most significant activity in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was our acquisition of Coperion Capital GmbH (“Coperion”), effective December 1, 2012, Comparedin a transaction valued at $540.7.  Based in Stuttgart, Germany, Coperion is a global leader in the manufacture of compounding, extrusion, and bulk material handling equipment used in a broad range of industries, including plastics, chemicals, food processing, pharmaceutical, and aluminum.  Coperion has been in business since 1879, currently with nine manufacturing sites in Germany, the United States (“U.S.”), China, and India, and sales offices in approximately thirty locations in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.  Coperion had approximately two thousand employees worldwide as of December 31, 2012.  Approximately 30% of Coperion’s revenue is derived from replacement parts and service, generating a large portion of recurring business due to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011its well-positioned service network and active installed base of machines across the world.

 

·Consolidated revenue increased 13%Coperion revenues consist of large system sales, equipment, components, replacement parts, and service.  Large system sales are fulfilled over twelve to $238.4.eighteen months on average, whereby customers generally pay a deposit and make progress payments in advance of delivery.  These progress payments allow Coperion to operate its business at attractive working capital levels.  System sales include many components, including those manufactured by Coperion as well as materials manufactured by third-parties.  The increase was due to revenue growth atproportion of third-party-sourced materials (that yield lower margins than materials produced internally) in system sales is greater than that of our other Process Equipment Group businesses.  As a result, we expect gross profit margins in the Process Equipment Group includingto be lower following the RotexCoperion acquisition.  However, we believe that providing complete system sales gives the Process Equipment Group a distinct competitive advantage, as many customers prefer doing business with one trusted vendor that can provide a complete system.

This acquisition completedis the largest in August 2011, partially offset by burial volumethe Company’s history and average selling price declines atis an important step in our strategic plans to further diversify Hillenbrand and accelerate the Batesvillegrowth of the Process Equipment Group business platform.  Batesville’s revenue declined 3%The integration of Coperion with the Process Equipment Group will be a key initiative for the next 18 to $145.7.  The24 months.  Combining our product offerings to provide a more complete system solution is the highest priority from an integration perspective.  In addition, we believe leveraging Coperion’s global infrastructure will enable the existing businesses within the Process Equipment Group platform to enter new global markets more quickly.  Likewise, we expect the Process Equipment Group’s revenueexisting strong U.S. sales network will enhance Coperion’s expansion in North America.  Finally, the application of the Company’s lean tools and principles to Coperion’s operations is expected to contribute to improved margins and increased 53%customer satisfaction.

The calculation of fair value of Coperion’s assets and liabilities is preliminary and subject to $92.7, or 56%adjustment based on finalization of the closing balance sheet.  The fair value assigned to Coperion’s backlog was $34.3 and will be amortized over approximately ten months.  The fair value assigned to Coperion’s customer relationships and technology total $202.5 and will be amortized on a constant currency basis.

·Consolidated gross profit margin was 38.1%, a declinestraight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, resulting in approximately $12.0 of 270 basis points.  On an adjusted basis, the consolidated gross profit margin was 38.6%, a declineongoing annual amortization expense.  The acquisition resulted in preliminary goodwill of 220 basis points.

·Batesville’s gross profit margin was 35.1%.  The 430-basis-point decline was due to lower volume and average selling price, short-term transition costs including those related to the shift consolidation, increased distribution and commodity costs, and restructuring charges.  Excluding the restructuring charges of $0.4 in 2012, Batesville’s adjusted gross profit margin was 35.4%, a 400-basis-point decline.

·The Process Equipment Group’s gross profit margin was 42.7%, a 150-basis-point decline, primarily due to product mix, market factors that impact pricing, and restructuring charges.  Excluding restructuring charges of $0.8, the adjusted gross profit margin was 43.6%, a 60-basis-point decline.

·Operating expenses as a percentage of sales was 24.2%, consistent with prior year.  Excluding restructuring charges ($1.2 in 2012 and $0.7 in 2011), the operating expense to sales ratio was 23.6% compared to 23.4%.$233.4.

·Other income and expense decreased $0.8 largely due to the full collection of the Forethought Note in April 2011 ($0.6).  See Item 1, Note 13 for further details.

·The income tax rate was 28.8% compared to 31.8% and the adjusted income tax rate was 29.2% compared to 31.9%.  Adjustments represent the tax impact of restructuring charges, business acquisition costs, and antitrust litigation.  The decrease in the income tax rate was due to the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions.

Consolidated revenue grew $73.6 (32%).  Foreign currency exchange rates did not have a material impact on revenue.

·                  Consolidated revenue increased 12% to $729.7.  The increase was due to revenue growth at the Process Equipment Group, including the Rotex acquisition completed in August 2011, partially offset by burial volume declines in the Batesville business platform.  Batesville’s revenue declined 6% to $455.1.  The Process Equipment Group’s revenue increased 62%$68.0 (79%).  The revenue increase was due to $274.6.  Foreign currency translation did not significantly impact revenue during the periods under comparison.acquisition of Coperion on December 1, 2012.

·                  Batesville’s revenue increased $5.6 (4%).  The increase was primarily driven by volume, as North American deaths returned to more normal historical levels.

Consolidated gross profit margin was 39.6%36.2%, a declinedecrease of 320430 basis points.  On an adjusted basis, which excludes items described below, the consolidated gross profit margin was 37.2%, a decrease of 330 basis points.

·Process Equipment Group’s gross profit margin declined 810 basis points to 33.8% compared to 41.9% in the prior year.  Excluding $2.6 of inventory step-up related to the Coperion acquisition and restructuring charges, the adjusted gross profit margin declined 630 basis points from 41.9% to 35.6%.  This decrease was due primarily to the Coperion acquisition as gross margins for Coperion are lower given the higher proportion of third-party sourced products that yield lower margins compared to other Process Equipment Group operating companies.

·                  Batesville’s gross profit margin was 37.6%38.7%The 450-basis-point decline was due to lower volume, short-term transition costs including those related to the shift consolidation, increased commodity costs, and restructuring charges. Excluding $2.4 of restructuring charges in 2012, Batesville’s adjusted gross profit margin was 38.1%, a 400-basis-point decline.

·The Process Equipment Group’s gross profit margin was 42.9%, a 200-basis-point decline, primarily due to product mix, market factors that impact pricing, larger system sales, and restructuring charges. Excluding $1.1 of restructuring charges,this year, the adjusted gross profit margin was 43.3%38.9%, a 160-basis-point decline.70-basis-point decline over the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due to changes in employee benefits in the prior year that reduced expense, as well as increased commodity costs in the current period.

·

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased 80230 basis points to 24.5%28.3%.

·On an adjusted basis, our operating expense ratio was 23.9%.  This was relatively flat compared to 23.6% in the prior year, despite changes in employee benefits in the prior year that reduced expense ($1.8) and one month of ongoing amortization expense related to the Coperion acquisition ($1.0).  Adjusted operating expenses exclude the following items:

·Business acquisition costs of $9.0 in fiscal year 2013 and $0.5 in fiscal year 2012

·Backlog amortization of $4.2 in fiscal year 2013 and $2.5 in fiscal year 2012

·Long-term incentive compensation expense of $2.2 in fiscal year 2012 related to the international integration — The vesting of our long-term performance-based stock awards is contingent upon the creation of shareholder value as measured by the cumulative cash returns and final period net operating profit after tax compared to the established hurdle rate over a three-year period.  As such, the tax benefit from the international integration resulted in additional compensation expense related to performance-based stock awards.

·Restructuring charges of $0.2 in fiscal year 2013

·Antitrust litigation expenses of $0.1 in fiscal year 2013 and $0.4 in fiscal year 2012

Interest expense increased $1.6 due primarily to higher weighted-average principal borrowings on the revolving credit facility and the new term loan entered into in connection with the Coperion acquisition.

Other income and expense was $0.9 of income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $0.5 of expense, representing a variance of $1.4.  Excluding $0.9 of income primarily from acquisition-related foreign currency transactions, adjusted other income and expense was $0.0.  See Item 1, Note 11 for more detailed information.

The income tax rate was 28.8% compared to (4.3%).  The year-over-year change in the effective tax rate was largely due to the reduction of income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 of $10.4, attributable to the permanent reinvestment assertion on historical earnings of certain Swiss operations.  Excluding this tax benefit as well as the tax effect of all other adjustments, our adjusted effective income tax rate was 27.9% compared to 30.6% for the prior year.  The adjusted effective income tax rate was favorably impacted by the Coperion acquisition, which produces a larger percentage of income from foreign sources in lower tax rate jurisdictions.

Fiscal year 2013 includes one month of operations related to the Coperion acquisition on December 1, 2012.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

Revenue increased $68.0 (79%), drivenattributable to the Coperion acquisition that closed on December 1, 2012.  Excluding the Coperion business, revenue decreased approximately 2% as certain projects scheduled for this quarter were delayed into the second fiscal quarter.

We expect future revenue for the Process Equipment Group will continue to be influenced by increasesorder backlog because of the lead time involved in fulfilling engineered-to-order equipment for customers.  Though backlog can be an indicator of future revenue, it might not include many projects and parts orders that are booked and shipped within the same quarter.  The timing of order placement, size, extent of customization, and customer delivery dates can create fluctuations in backlog and revenue.  Revenue attributable to backlog is also affected by foreign exchange fluctuations for orders denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.  Based upon new orders accepted, less orders completed and shipped, backlog increased from $120.5 on September 30, 2012 to $556.6 on December 31, 2012.  The increase in backlog was due to the acquisition of Coperion.

The Process Equipment Group manufactures equipment and provides services and parts for a variety of industries, including plastics, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, power generation, coal mining, pulp and paper, frac sand, industrial minerals, agribusiness, recycling, wood and forest products, and biomass energy generation.  We believe these industries have attractive long-term growth prospects as they are positively impacted by the growing global middle class; therefore, we believe that demand for the products and services provided by these industries will continue to grow as countries such as China and India greatly expand their middle class.

While overall demand is expected to increase over the long run, we expect shifts in year-to-year sources of such demand.  For example, in fiscal year 2012, demand for proppants used in hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) experienced a dramatic acceleration that had the effect of pulling equipment sales planned for fiscal year 2013 into fiscal year 2012.  As a result, near-term revenue related to this type of equipment could be negatively impacted.

Gross profit increased 45% to $52.0 due to the Coperion acquisition, which added one month of operations in fiscal 2013.  Gross profit margin declined by 810 basis points to 33.8%.

Adjusted gross profit margin decreased by 630 basis points to 35.6% and excludes $2.6 of inventory step-up related to the Coperion acquisition and restructuring costscharges.  Step-ups in inventory value were recorded at the time of the Coperion acquisition and will be expensed when the inventory is sold.  The decrease in adjusted gross profit margin was primarily due to the Coperion acquisition as gross margins for Coperion are lower given the higher proportion of third-party-sourced products compared to other Process Equipment Group companies.  As a result, we expect gross profit margins for the Process Equipment Group to be lower following the Coperion acquisition.  In general, gross profit margin for the Process Equipment Group is influenced by a variety of factors, including the timing and size of orders, the mix of products and services sold, and market factors that impact pricing.

Operating expenses increased $16.7 to $44.5 due primarily to the acquisition of Coperion.  Our operating expense to sales ratio improved by 340 basis points, from 32.4% to 29.0%.  The Coperion acquisition will add approximately

$12.0 of annual ongoing amortization expense, with one month ($3.0),1.0) of this expense recognized in the first quarter of 2013.

On an adjusted basis, our operating expense ratio improved 310 basis points to 26.2%.  This excludes backlog amortization at Rotex ($2.5),of $4.2 in fiscal year 2013 and additional$2.5 in fiscal year 2012, as well as long-term incentive compensation related to the international integration ($2.2)in fiscal year 2012.  We continue to see progress in the implementation of Hillenbrand Lean Business principles in our Process Equipment Group.  We plan for further progress within this business platform as we introduce these principles to newly-acquired Coperion.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

Revenue increased $5.6 (4%) and was primarily driven by volume, as the year-over-year growth rate of North American deaths returned to historical levels.  The volume increase was also driven by several factors including successful results from marketing initiatives and the reduced impact year-over-year caused by customers buying in advance of price increases.  In addition, we saw a 1% increase in average sales prices.  According to the Center for Disease Control, influenza activity was above the national baseline for five weeks during our first fiscal quarter, but pneumonia and influenza mortality remained below the epidemic threshold.  Therefore, influenza did not have a significant impact on our first quarter results.

Gross profit increased 1% to $58.6.  Gross profit margin declined 90 basis points to 38.7%. Antitrust litigationAdjusted gross profit margin declined 70 basis points to 38.9% and business acquisitionexcludes restructuring charges.  The decrease was primarily due to changes in employee benefits in the prior year that reduced expense by $1.3 and $0.9 of increased commodity costs decreased $1.3.  Absent these charges,in the current year.

Operating expenses increased $0.7 (3%) to $24.2.  Our operating expense to sales ratio was relatively flat at 16.0% compared to 16.1% in the prior year.

On an adjusted basis, our operating expense to sales ratio increased by 60 basis points to 15.9% from 15.3%.  Adjusted operating expenses exclude antitrust litigation expense and long-term incentive compensation related to the international integration in fiscal year 2012.  The increase in the operating expense to sales ratio was 23.1%, a 10-basis-point improvement overprimarily due to changes in employee benefits in the prior year ratiothat reduced expense by $1.8 and $0.9 of 23.2%.increased strategic initiatives spending this year.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

Operating expenses excluding business acquisition costs, long-term incentive compensation related to the international integration, and restructuring increased $1.3 (18%).  These expenses on a percentage of consolidated revenue basis were 2.8%, an improvement of 40 basis points compared to 3.2% in the prior year.  We expect this expense base to continue to decline as a percentage of sales.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we incurred $9.0 of business acquisition costs related to our acquisition of Coperion, all incurred by our corporate operations.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we incurred $0.5 of business acquisition costs related to our acquisition of Rotex.

The vesting of our long-term performance-based stock awards is contingent upon the creation of shareholder value as measured by the cumulative cash returns and final period net operating profit after tax compared to the established hurdle rate over a three-year period.  As such, the tax benefit from the international integration resulted in $2.2 of additional expense related to performance-based stock awards in 2012, of which $1.2 was incurred by our corporate operations.

In fiscal year 2012, we developed plans with our previous parent company to sell or dispose of our jointly owned aircraft and to cease operations at the first quarter of 2012.

·Other income and expense decreased $10.1 largely due to the full collection of the Forethought Note in April 2011 ($6.4) and a decrease in investment gains from $4.6 in 2011 to $1.4 in 2012.  See Item 1, Note 13 for further details.

·A tax benefit of $10.4 was recognized inairport owned by our previous parent company.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2012 due to the determination that certain international earnings that were previously expected to be repatriated are now permanently reinvested.  Largely due to this tax benefit, our income tax rate declined from 34.3% to 20.5%.  See Item 1, Note 8 for details.  Our adjusted income tax rate was 31.2% compared to 34.3% in the prior year.

North American deaths.  North America experienced one of the largest drops in year-over-year deaths in the past 30 years.  Burial volume was also negatively impacted by the rate at which consumers opted for cremation.  A decline in the average selling price driven by aggressive price competition also contributed to the decrease.

·Gross profit decreased 14% to $51.2, representing 35.1% on a percentage-of-sales basis.  The decline was due to lower volume and average selling price, short-term transition costs including those related to the shift consolidation, increased distribution and commodity costs, and restructuring charges. Excluding current year restructuring charges ($0.4), Batesville’s adjusted gross profit was $51.6 representing 35.4% on a percentage-of-sales basis.

Batesville’s management consistently sizes operations to respond to changing market conditions and consumer preferences, and continuously evaluates capacities to ensure products are manufactured in the most efficient manner possible.  As mentioned above, Batesville consolidated the first and second shifts earlier in the year at one of its plants.  We expect this change to deliver approximately $5.0 of annual savings going forward; however, we did incur certain transition costs upon implementation that must be considered in determining the net long-term savings.  In the current quarter, Batesville experienced approximately $1.0 in short-term transition costs related to the shift consolidation that have negatively impacted gross margin.

·The ratio of operating expenses to sales was 17.4%, an increase of 30 basis points.  The adjusted operating expense to sales ratio increased by 50 basis points to 16.7% from 16.2%.  The adjusted operating expense to sales ratio excludes restructuring charges related to termination benefits ($1.0 in 2012 and $0.7 in 2011) and antitrust litigation expense ($0.7 in 2011).  In the third quarter, Batesville incurred restructuring charges ($1.0) related to a workforce reduction.  We estimate that this change will deliver annual savingscessation of approximately $4.0 and do not anticipate that we will incur significant additional costs related to these activities.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011airport operations.

 

·Revenue decreased 6% to $455.1 primarily due to a decline in burial volume.  The burial volume decline was caused by an estimated 4 to 5% reduction in North American burials, driven in part by an estimated 2% decline in North American deaths.  The decline in fiscal year 2012 was in part due to a very mild pneumonia and influenza season and represented one of the largest drops in year-over-year North American deaths in the past 30 years.  Burial volume was also negatively impacted by the rate at which consumers opted for cremation.

·Gross profit decreased 16% to $171.0.  The decline was primarily due to lower volume, short-term transition costs including those related to the shift consolidation, increased commodity costs, and restructuring charges. Excluding restructuring charges, adjusted gross profit was $173.4 or 38.1% on a percentage-of-sales basis.

·The ratio of operating expenses to sales was 15.8% compared to 16.1% in the prior year.  The adjusted operating expense to sales ratio was 15.3%, an improvement of 50 basis points over the prior year adjusted ratio of 15.8%.  The adjusted operating expense to sales ratio excludes restructuring charges ($1.0 in 2012 and $0.7 in 2011) related to termination benefits and antitrust litigation expense ($0.5 in 2012 and $1.3 in 2011).  Adjustments also include the impact of the long-term incentive compensation related to the current year international integration ($0.8) and sales tax recoveries ($0.7) in the prior year.  Management continues to adjust the cost structure to offset declining volumes and reduced compensation and benefit expenses this year by $6.0.  This included $1.9 of savings in the first quarter related to changes in employee benefits that we do not expect to take place again in the future.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

·Revenue increased by 53% to $92.7, and by 56% on a constant currency basis.  The increase was attributable in part to the Rotex acquisition completed in August 2011, as well as growth in the existing Process Equipment Group’s revenue.

Future revenue associated with the Process Equipment Group is influenced by order backlog because there is a lead time involved in manufacturing specialized equipment and parts for customers.  Though backlog can be an indicator of future revenue, it might not include many projects and parts orders that are booked and shipped within the same quarter.  The timing of order placement, size, and customer delivery dates can create fluctuations in backlog and revenue.  Revenue attributable to backlog is also affected by foreign exchange fluctuations for orders denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.  Based upon new orders accepted, less orders completed and shipped, backlog increased from $136.5 on March 31, 2012, to $140.1 on June 30, 2012.

·Gross profit increased 48% to $39.6 primarily due to revenue growth, including growth from the Rotex acquisition in August 2011.  Gross profit margin declined by 150 basis points to 42.7%, primarily due to product mix, market factors that impact pricing, and restructuring costs.   Adjusted gross profit margin was 43.6% in 2012 and excludes $0.8 of restructuring costs, primarily termination benefits and accelerated depreciation related to the closure of one manufacturing plant.

Gross profit margin for the Process Equipment Group is influenced by a variety of factors, including the timing and size of orders, the mix of products and services sold, and market factors that impact pricing.  Adjusted gross profit margin excludes the impact of restructuring and acquisition-related expenses.  The Process Equipment Group’s adjusted gross profit margin may fluctuate from quarter to quarter; however, we expect adjusted gross profit margin to fluctuate within a normal historical range on an annual basis.

We continue to see progress in the implementation of Hillenbrand Lean Business principles in our Process Equipment Group.  Earlier this year we strategically realigned the Process Equipment Group through the consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities.  This resulted in the closure of one manufacturing plant enabling the Process Equipment Group to more efficiently meet customer needs, while continuing to provide the same high-quality products and services.

·The ratio of operating expenses to sales improved by 30 basis points to 28.7%, primarily attributable to the integration of Rotex, which has a lower operating expense to sales ratio.  The Process Equipment Group incurred $0.2 in restructuring costs related to the consolidation of manufacturing facilities.  Excluding these restructuring charges, the operating expense to sales ratio improved by 40 basis points to 28.5%.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011

·Revenue increased 62% to $274.6.  Foreign currency translation did not significantly impact revenue during the period.  The increase was attributable in part to the Rotex acquisition completed in August 2011, as well as growth in the existing Process Equipment Group’s revenue.  Backlog increased by $21.1 over the past nine months from $119.0 on September 30, 2011, to $140.1 on June 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

·Gross profit increased 55% to $117.8 primarily due to revenue growth, including growth from the Rotex acquisition in August 2011.  Gross profit margin declined by 200 basis points to 42.9% primarily due to product mix, market factors that impact pricing, larger system sales, and restructuring costs.  Excluding restructuring costs ($1.1), adjusted gross profit margin was 43.3%, a decline of 160 basis points.

·The ratio of operating expenses to sales improved by 10 basis points to 30.3% and by 200 basis points to 28.3% on an adjusted basis.  Adjustments include restructuring charges ($2.7) and backlog amortization ($2.5).  The value of the backlog was recorded as an asset at the time of acquisition and subsequently expensed when the related revenue was recognized.  No further backlog amortization will be recognized related to the Rotex acquisition.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Operating expenses excluding business acquisition costs and long-term incentive compensation related to the international integration declined by $1.9 to $5.6.  This represents a 130-basis-point improvement on a percentage-of-sales basis and was primarily due to a decrease in long-term incentive compensation driven by operating results.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011

Operating expenses, excluding business acquisition costs and long-term incentive compensation related to the international integration, declined $2.6 to $20.9.  This represents an 80-basis-point improvement on a percentage-of-sales basis and was due in part to leveraging our established corporate group over a growing business platforms base and a decrease in long-term incentive compensation driven by operating results.  When Hillenbrand was first established as a separate public company in 2008, we created a centralized corporate infrastructure to manage the Company’s business platforms.  We anticipate that this expense base will continue to decline as a percentage of sales.

We have previously discussed our strategy to selectively acquire manufacturing businesses with a record of success which could benefit from our core competencies to spur faster and more profitable growth.  Given that strategy, it is a natural consequence to incur related expenses, such as amortization from acquired intangible assets and additional interest expense from debt-funded acquisitions.  Accordingly, we use Earnings Before Interest, Income Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”), among other measures, to monitor our business performance.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012,first quarter of fiscal year 2013, consolidated adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.6 (1%increased $3.1 (6%) and $5.0 (3%)due primarily due to the decline in burial volume at Batesville, offset in part by the Rotex acquisition completed in August 2011 and by growth in existing Process Equipment Group revenue.of Coperion.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We believe the ability to generate cash is critical to the value of the Company.  In this section, we discuss our ability to generate and access cash to meet business needs.  We describe actual results in generating and utilizing cash by comparing the first ninethree months of fiscal year 20122013 to the same period last year.

 

We discuss how we see cash flow being affected for the next 12 months.  While it is not a certainty, we explain where we think the cash will come from and how we intend to use it.  Finally, we identify other significant matters that could affect liquidity on an ongoing basis.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $45.7 primarily due$7.3.  Increased cash flow from operations of $5.9 was more than offset by $8.2 of business acquisition costs related to the full collection of the Forethought note in the prior yearCoperion and the decline in Batesville operating results, offset in part by the Rotex acquisition completed in August 2011 as well as growth in the existing Process Equipment Group.

Cash from investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was a $13.6 net cash outflow compared$5 related to a prior year net cash inflow of $98.7.  This fluctuation was primarily due to the full collection of the Forethought note, the sale of our remaining auction rate securities, and the return of investment capital from affiliates in the prior year, as well as increased capital expenditures in the current year.antitrust litigation.

 

Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $414.4 greater than the same period in the prior year due to the acquisition of Coperion, which utilized $415.6 of cash, net of cash acquired.

Cash provided by financing activities increased $28.5 asin the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $480.0, compared to a resulttotal of higher$13.6 cash used for financing activities in the same period in the prior year.  Net borrowings in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 were related to the acquisition of Coperion, including net repaymentsborrowings on the new term loan of $197.5 and net borrowings on the revolving credit facility inof $297.3.

We increased our quarterly dividend to $0.1950 per common share from $0.1925 paid during fiscal year 2012.

Our cash balance decreased $99.5 from September 30, 2011  We plan to $16.0 at June 30, 2012, largely related to the impact of our international integration.  Prior to the completion of our international integration, we held significant amounts of cash at our international affiliates that could not efficiently be utilizedcontinue to pay down our revolving credit facility.  We can now more efficiently movequarterly cash globally, and we expect that our new credit facility will enhancedividends at this ability further. See Item 1, Note 18 for further details.  From a balance sheet perspective, our net debt (total debt less cash) improved from $316.0 at September 30, 2011 to $257.6 at June 30, 2012, a net decrease of $58.4.rate throughout fiscal year 2013.

 

12-Month Outlook

 

We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and cash available under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, and financing obligations.  We may use additional cash generated by the business to pay down our revolving credit facility or we may borrow additional amounts depending on our working capital needs.  As a result, the amount borrowed as of the end of a period may not be representative of the balance during the period.  We entered into a newIn November 2012, we fully exercised the $300 accordion feature under our revolving credit facility on July 27, 2012.to increase our financing capacity.  See Item 1, Note 185 for further details.

 

The cash at our foreigninternational subsidiaries totaled $11.2$50.8 at June 30,December 31, 2012.  The majority of these funds represented earnings considered to be permanently reinvested to support the growth strategies of our foreigninternational subsidiaries.

borrowings under these facilities as of June 30,December 31, 2012, and availability was reduced by $4.9$4.8 for outstanding bank guarantees.

In the normal course of business, the Process Equipment Group is required to provide customers bank guarantees in support of performance, warranty, advance payment, and other contract obligations.  This form of trade finance is customary in the industry and, as a result, we are required to maintain adequate capacity to provide the guarantees.  Coperion has a $66 guaranty facility under which availability was reduced for outstanding bank guarantees totaling $13.9.  We also have other trade finance facilities with other financial institutions that provide us capacity for bank guarantees up to $33.0, in aggregate.  We had $11.7 of outstanding bank guarantees issued under these facilities at December 31, 2012.

 

We are currently authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares of our common stock, and may elect to do so, depending on market conditions and other needs for cash consistent with our growth strategy.

 

Under the Distribution Agreement with Hill-Rom, our ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility for certain strategic transactions, such as acquisitions, may be limited.  For more information refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Inflation

The effect of broad based inflation on the Company’s revenues and net earnings was not significant for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

During the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2012, there were no significant changes to this information, as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.2012, except as it relates to revenue recognition for Coperion.

Revenue Recognition

With the acquisition of Coperion, a portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from long-term manufacturing contracts.  This revenue is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion method.  Under this method, revenue is recognized based upon the costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated cost of the project and are included in net revenues on the consolidated income statement.  Revenues in excess of billings are presented as unbilled receivables from long-term manufacturing contracts and deposits in excess of billings are presented as liabilities from long-term manufacturing contracts on the consolidated balance sheet.  Revenue for components, replacement parts, and service is recognized on a completed contract basis when title and risk of loss passes to the customer.

 

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

 

For a summary of recently issued and adopted accounting standards applicable to us, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3.                QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

ThereIn this section, we tell you about market risks we think could have been no material changesa significant impact on our bottom line or the financial strength of our Company.  Market risks generally mean how results of operations and the value of assets and liabilities could be affected by market factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, the value of commodities, and debt and equity price risks.  If those factors change significantly, it could help or hurt our bottom line, depending on how we react to them.

We are exposed to various market risks.  We have established policies, procedures, and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.  Our primary exposures are to: collection risk (customer receivables); fluctuations in market prices for certain purchases of commodities; volatility in the fair value of our investments; volatility in the value of our pension plans’ assets; variability in foreign currency exchange rates; and volatility in interest rates associated with our credit facility.

We are subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodity raw materials including steel, wood, red metals, and fuel.  While these materials are typically available from multiple suppliers, commodity raw materials are subject to market price fluctuations.  We generally buy these commodities based upon market prices that are established with the information providedsupplier as part of the purchasing process.  We generally attempt to obtain firm pricing from our larger suppliers for volumes consistent with planned production.  To the extent that commodity prices increase and we do not have firm pricing from our suppliers, or if our suppliers are not able to honor such prices, we may experience a decline in our Annual Reportgross margins to the extent we are not able to increase selling prices of our products or obtain supply chain efficiencies to offset increases in commodity costs.

Our pension plans’ assets are also subject to volatility that can be caused by fluctuation in general economic conditions.  Plan assets are invested by the plans’ fiduciaries, which direct investments according to specific policies.  Those policies subject investments to the following restrictions in our domestic plan: short-term securities must be rated A2/P2 or higher, fixed income securities will maintain an average credit quality of A- or better, and investments in equities in any one company may not exceed 10% of the equity portfolio.  Our income statement is

26



Table of Contents

currently shielded from volatility in plan assets due to the way accounting standards are applied for pension plans, although favorable or unfavorable investment performance over the long term will impact our pension expense if it deviates from our assumption related to future rate of return.

We are subject to variability in foreign currency exchange rates in our international operations.  From time-to-time we may enter into currency exchange agreements to manage our exposure arising from fluctuating exchange rates related to specific transactions, primarily forecasted intercompany purchasing.  International cash balances in currencies other than their functional currency are limited in order to manage the transaction exposure caused by the marking to market of non-functional currency balances to functional values on Form 10-Kthe balance sheets of our various international operations.  As of December 31, 2012, a 10% change in the foreign exchange rates affecting balance sheet transactional exposures would have resulted in a change in pre-tax earnings of approximately $0.8.  This hypothetical change on transactional exposures is based on the difference between the December 31, 2012, actual foreign exchange rates and hypothetical rates assuming a 10% change in foreign exchange rates on that date.

The translation of the balance sheets of our non-U.S. operations from local currencies into U.S. dollars is also sensitive to changes in foreign exchange rates.  These translation gains or losses are recorded as cumulative translation adjustments (“CTA”) within accumulated other comprehensive loss on our balance sheet.  Using the example above, the hypothetical change in CTA would be calculated by multiplying the net assets of our non-U.S. operations by a 10% change in the applicable foreign exchange rates.  The result of this calculation would be to change shareholders’ equity by approximately $40.0 as of December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2012, we had $421.5 outstanding under our $700 revolving credit facility and $197.5 outstanding under a related term loan.  We are subject to interest rate risk associated with our revolving credit facility and related term loan which bear a variable rate of interest that is based upon the lender’s base rate or the LIBOR rate.  The interest we pay on our borrowings is dependent on interest rate conditions and the timing of our financing needs.  Assuming these borrowings remain at $619.0 for 12 months, a one percentage point move in the year ended September 30, 2011.related interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $6.2.

 

Item 4.                CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and ourthe Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the Certifying Officers)“Certifying Officers”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) underof the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)“Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report.).  Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective.

There have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting for the information requiredperiod covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to be disclosedmaterially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except for the potential changes noted in the reportsfollowing paragraph relating to the Coperion acquisition.

On December 1, 2012, we file or submitcompleted our acquisition of Coperion, which includes its existing information systems and internal controls over financial reporting.  In conducting our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013, we have elected to exclude Coperion from our evaluation as permitted under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specifiedexisting SEC rules.  We are currently in the Securitiesprocess of evaluating and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicatedintegrating Coperion’s historical internal controls over financial reporting with ours.  The integration may lead to management as appropriatechanges in future fiscal periods but we do not expect these changes to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Therematerially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.  We expect to complete this integration in fiscal 2014.

Other than the changes noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Information pertaining to legal proceedings can be found in Note 1412 to the interim consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1of1 of this report.

 

Item 1A.RISK FACTORS

 

For information regardingIn this section of the Form 10-Q, we describe the risks we face, seebelieve are most important for you to think about when you consider investing in, selling, or owning our stock or debt.  This information should be assessed along with the discussion under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” other information we provide you in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.  Like most companies, our business involves risks.  The risks described below are not the only risks we face, but these are the ones we currently think have the potential to significantly affect stakeholders in our Company if they were to develop adversely (due to size, volatility, or both).  We exclude risks that we believe are inherent in all businesses broadly as a function of simply being “in business.”  Additional risks not currently known or considered immaterial by us at this time and thus not listed below could also result in adverse effects on our business.  In the risk descriptions below, we have assigned the risks into categories to help you understand where they emanate from (e.g. the overall Company or a specific segment).

Risk Related to Our Overall Company

A key component of our growth strategy is making significant acquisitions, some of which may be outside our current industries.  We may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from these acquisitions.  If an acquisition were to perform unfavorably, it could have an adverse impact on our value.

All acquisitions involve inherent uncertainties, which may include, among other things, our ability to:

·successfully identify targets for acquisition;

·negotiate reasonable terms;

·properly perform due diligence and determine all the significant risks associated with a particular acquisition;

·properly evaluate target company management capabilities; and

·successfully transition the acquired company into our business and achieve the desired performance.

We may acquire businesses with unknown liabilities, contingent liabilities, or internal control deficiencies.  We have plans and procedures to conduct reviews of potential acquisition candidates for compliance with applicable regulations and laws prior to acquisition.  Despite these efforts, realization of any of these liabilities or deficiencies may increase our expenses, adversely affect our financial position, or cause us to fail to meet our public financial reporting obligations.

We generally seek indemnification from sellers covering these matters; however, the liability of the sellers is often limited, and certain former owners may be unable to meet their indemnification responsibilities.  We cannot assure you that these indemnification provisions will fully protect us, and as a result we may face unexpected liabilities that adversely affect our profitability and financial position.

We may not achieve the intended benefits of the acquisition and our business could be materially impacted.  Under such circumstances, management could be required to spend significant amounts of time and resources in the transition of the acquired business.  In addition, any benefits we anticipate from application of our lean manufacturing and lean business expertise may not be fully realized.

If we acquire a company that operates in an industry that is different from the ones in which we operate, our lack of experience with that company’s industry could have a material adverse impact on our ability to manage that business and realize the benefits of that acquisition.

Global market and economic conditions, including those related to the financial markets, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and liquidity.

Our business is sensitive to changes in general economic conditions, both inside and outside the U.S.  Although we have seen stability or growth in some geographies since the global economic turmoil that began in 2008, we cannot assure you that these improvements will be sustainable or predict when the next recession will occur.  In addition, the current uncertainties in the euro zone may depress demand in the area and create additional risk to our financial results.

Instability in the global economy and financial markets can adversely affect our business in several ways, including limiting our customers’ ability to obtain sufficient credit or pay for our products within the terms of sale.  Competition could further intensify among the manufacturers and distributors with whom we compete for volume and market share, resulting in lower net revenue due to steeper discounts and product mix-down.  In addition, if certain key or sole suppliers were to become capacity constrained or insolvent, it could result in a reduction or interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price of supplies.

Substantial losses in the equity markets could have an adverse effect on the assets of the Company’s pension plans.  Volatility of interest rates and negative equity returns could require greater contributions to the defined benefit plans in the future.

International economic, political, legal, and business factors could negatively affect our operating results, cash flows, financial condition, and growth.

We derived approximately 33% and 14% of our revenue from outside the U.S. for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  ThereOur international revenue is primarily generated in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, South America, and Canada.  We expect our international revenue to continue to grow due to the acquisition of Coperion. In addition, we have been nomanufacturing operations, suppliers, and employees located outside the U.S.  Since our growth strategy depends in part on our ability to further penetrate markets outside the U.S., we expect to continue to increase our sales and presence outside the U.S.

Our international business is subject to risks that are customarily encountered in non-U.S. operations, including:

·interruption in the transportation of materials to us and finished goods to our customers;

·differences in terms of sale, including payment terms;

·local product preferences and product requirements;

·changes in the political or economic condition in a country or region, including safety and health issues;

·trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

·unexpected changes in laws or regulatory requirements, including negative changes in tax laws;

·limitations on ownership and on repatriation of earnings and cash;

·difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;

·differing labor regulations;

·difficulties in implementing restructuring actions on a timely or comprehensive basis; and

·differing protection of intellectual property.

We rely upon our employees, agents, and business partners to comply with laws in many different countries and jurisdictions.  We establish policies and provide training to assist them in understanding our policies and the regulations most applicable to our business; however, our reputation, ability to do business, and financial results may be impaired by improper conduct by these individuals.

We cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and compliance systems will always protect us from acts committed by our employees, agents, or business partners that would violate U.S. and/or non-U.S. laws, including the laws governing payments to government officials, bribery, fraud, anti-kickback and false claims rules, competition, export and import compliance, money laundering, and data privacy.  In particular, 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 to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, and we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental

29



Table of Contents

corruption to some degree.  Any such improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions; could lead to substantial civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties, and related shareholder lawsuits; could cause us to incur significant legal fees; and could damage our reputation.

We are subject to risks arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues.  In addition, since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our results of operations.  Although we address currency risk management through regular operating and financing activities, and, on a limited basis, through the use of derivative financial instruments, those actions may not prove to be fully effective.

Increased prices for, or unavailability of, raw materials used in our products could adversely affect profitability.

Our profitability is affected by the prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products.  These prices fluctuate based on a number of factors beyond our control, including changes in supply and demand, general economic conditions, labor costs, fuel-related delivery costs, competition, import duties, tariffs, currency exchange rates, and, in some cases, government regulation.  Significant increases in the prices of raw materials that cannot be recovered through increases in the price of our products could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

We cannot guarantee that the prices we are paying for commodities today will continue in the future or that the marketplace will continue to support current prices for our products or that such prices can be adjusted to fully offset commodity price increases in the future.  Any increases in prices resulting from a tightening supply of these or other commodities could adversely affect our profitability.  We generally do not engage in hedging transactions for raw material purchases, but we do enter into some fixed-price supply contracts.

Our dependency upon regular deliveries of supplies from particular suppliers means that interruptions or stoppages in such deliveries could adversely affect our operations until arrangements with alternate suppliers could be made.  Several of the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products currently are procured from a single source.  If any of these sole-source suppliers were unable to deliver these materials for an extended period of time as a result of financial difficulties, catastrophic events affecting their facilities, or other factors, or if we were unable to negotiate acceptable terms for the supply of materials with these sole-source suppliers, our business could suffer.  We may not be able to find acceptable alternatives, and any such alternatives could result in increased costs.  Extended unavailability of a necessary raw material could cause us to cease manufacturing one or more products for a period of time.

A portion of our workforce is unionized.  The Company could face labor disruptions that would interfere with operations.

Approximately 40% of Hillenbrand’s employees work under collective bargaining agreements.  Although we have not experienced any significant work stoppages in the past 20 years as a result of labor disagreements, we cannot ensure that such a stoppage will not occur in the future.  Inability to negotiate satisfactory new agreements or a labor disturbance at one of the principal facilities could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Volatility in our investment portfolio could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.

In connection with our separation from our previous parent company, certain investments were transferred to us that had an aggregate carrying value of $12.7 as of December 31, 2012.  Volatility in our investment portfolio impacts earnings.  These investments could be adversely affected by general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, equity market volatility, and other factors, resulting in an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Table of Contents

We are involved on an ongoing basis in claims, lawsuits, and governmental proceedings relating to our operations, including environmental, antitrust, patent infringement, business practices, commercial transactions, and other matters.  The ultimate outcome of these claims, lawsuits, and governmental proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We are also subject to other potential claims, including product and general liability, workers compensation, auto liability, and employment-related matters. While we maintain insurance for certain of these exposures, the policies in place are high-deductible policies.  For a more detailed discussion of our asserted claims, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.

Upon the closing of each of our recent acquisitions, we increased our debt obligations significantly.  This could adversely affect our Company and limit our ability to respond to changes in our businesses.

As of December 31, 2012, our outstanding debt was $767.7.  This level of debt could have important consequences to our businesses.  For example:

·We may be more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions because we have lower borrowing capacity.

·We will be required to dedicate a larger portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for other purposes, including business development efforts and acquisitions.

·We will continue to be exposed to the risk of increased interest rates because a portion of our borrowings is at variable rates of interest.

·We may be more limited in our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which they operate, thereby placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less indebtedness.

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws and facets of Indiana law may prevent or delay an acquisition of our Company, which could decrease the trading price of our common stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws, as well as Indiana law, contain provisions that could delay or prevent changes in control if our Board of Directors determines that such changes in control are not in the best interests of our shareholders.  While these provisions have the effect of encouraging persons seeking to acquire control of our Company to negotiate with our Board of Directors, they could enable our Board of Directors to hinder or frustrate a transaction that the Board of Directors feels is not in the best interests of shareholders, but which some, or a majority, of our shareholders might believe to be in their best interests.

These provisions include, among others:

·the division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered terms;

·the inability of our shareholders to act by less than unanimous written consent;

·rules regarding how shareholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at shareholder meetings;

·the right of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval; and

·limitations on the right of shareholders to remove directors.

Indiana law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 10% or more of our outstanding common stock, as well as on certain “control share” acquisitions.

We believe these provisions are important for a public company and protect our shareholders from coercive or otherwise potentially unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our Board of Directors and by providing our Board of Directors with appropriate time to assess any acquisition proposal.  These provisions are not intended to make our Company immune from takeovers; however, they may apply if the Board of Directors determines that a takeover offer is not in the best interests of our shareholders, even if some shareholders believe the offer to be beneficial.

Risk Related to the Process Equipment Group

A significant portion of our investments in the Process Equipment Group includes goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to periodic impairment evaluations.  An impairment loss on these assets could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We acquired intangible assets with the acquisitions of Coperion, K-Tron, and Rotex, portions of which were identified as either goodwill or indefinite-lived assets.  We periodically assess these assets to determine if they are impaired.  Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, unexpected significant changes, or planned changes in use of the assets, divestitures, and market capitalization declines may impair these assets.  Any charges relating to such impairments could adversely affect our results of operations in the periods recognized.

The Process Equipment Group operates in cyclical industries.

As an industrial capital goods supplier, the Process Equipment Group serves industries that are cyclical.  During periods of economic expansion, when capital spending normally increases, the Process Equipment Group generally benefits from greater demand for its products.  During periods of economic contraction, when capital spending normally decreases, the Process Equipment Group generally is adversely affected by declining demand for new equipment orders, and it may be subject to uncollectible receivables from customers who become insolvent.  There can be no assurance that economic expansion or increased demand will be sustainable.

The Process Equipment Group derives significant revenues from the energy industry.  Any decline in demand for electricity, natural gas, or coal or an increase in regulation of the energy industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Process Equipment Group sells dry material separation and size reduction equipment to the electric generating, natural gas, and coal mining industries.  A significant portion of its sales are tied to the consumption of natural gas and coal as a means of generating electricity. The demand for natural gas and coal is dependent upon the availability and cost of alternative sources of energy, such as oil or nuclear power. Additionally, the cost of compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations on the energy industry may impact the demand for our products. As a result, any downturn in or disruption to the natural gas or coal industries or decline in the demand for electricity, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risk Related to Batesville

Continued fluctuations in mortality rates and increased cremations may adversely affect, as they have in recent years, the sales volume of our burial caskets.

The life expectancy of U.S. citizens has increased steadily since the 1950s and is expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.  As the population of the U.S. continues to age, we anticipate the number of deaths in the U.S. will be relatively flat until aging baby boomers cause the number of deaths to increase.

Cremations as a percentage of total U.S. deaths have increased steadily since the 1960s and are expected to continue to increase for the foreseeable future.  The increase in the number of cremations in the U.S. has resulted in a contraction in the demand for burial caskets.  This has been a contributing factor to lower burial casket sales volumes for Batesville in each of the last five fiscal years.  We expect these trends to continue in the foreseeable future and will likely continue to negatively impact burial casket volumes.

Finally, the number of deaths can vary over short periods of time and among different geographical areas, due to a variety of factors, describedincluding the timing and severity of seasonal outbreaks of illnesses such as pneumonia and influenza.  Such variations could cause the sale of burial caskets to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Table of Contents

Batesville’s business is dependent on several major contracts with large national funeral providers. The relationships with these customers pose several risks.

Batesville has contracts with a number of national funeral home customers that comprise a sizeable portion of its overall sales volume.  Any decision by national funeral home customers to discontinue purchases from Batesville could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.  Also, while contracts with national funeral service providers give Batesville important access to purchasers of funeral service products, they may obligate Batesville to sell products at contracted prices for extended periods of time, therefore limiting Batesville’s ability, in the short term, to raise prices in response to significant increases in raw material prices or other factors.

Batesville is facing competition from a number of non-traditional sources and from caskets manufactured abroad and imported into North America.

Non-traditional funeral product providers, such as large discount retail stores, casket stores, and internet casket retailers, could present more of a competitive threat to Batesville and its sales channel than is currently anticipated.  In addition, a few foreign manufacturers, mostly from China, import caskets into the U.S. and Canada.  For the past three years, sales from these non-traditional and Chinese providers have remained relatively stable and represent a small percentage of total casket sales in North America, collectively less than 5%.  It is not possible to quantify the financial impact that report.these competitors will have on Batesville in the future.  These competitors and any new entrants into the funeral products business may drive pricing and other competitive actions in an industry that already has nearly twice the necessary domestic production capacity.  Such competitive actions could have a negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
