NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Millions, Except Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management of Lexmark International, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Lexmark”), all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim financial results have been included. All adjustments included were of a normal recurring nature. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. The Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position data as of December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”). The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, on Form 10-K, which included all information and notes necessary for such presentation. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.
During the first quarter of 2013, service revenue exceeded ten percent of total revenue and is separately stated, along with the associated cost of revenue, on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Service revenue includes extended warranties and professional services performed under managed print service (“MPS”) arrangements, as well as software subscriptions, maintenance and support, and other software-related services. Product revenue includes all hardware, parts, supplies and license revenue. Restructuring-related costs include accelerated depreciation charges and excess component and other inventory-related charges. In addition, the amortization of developed technology is included as cost of product revenue. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.
Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information regarding the first quarter 2013 measurement period adjustment applied retrospectively to the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position related to the acquisition of Acuo Technologies, LLC (“Acuo”) in the fourth quarter of 2012.
General
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As part of the framework for measuring fair value, the guidance establishes a hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques 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.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
· | Level 1 -- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date; |
· | Level 2 -- Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and |
· | Level 3 -- Unobservable inputs used in valuations in which there is little market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are assigned a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s policy is to consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the Company’s date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The amortized cost of these investments closely approximates fair value in accordance with the Company’s policy regarding cash equivalents. Fair value of these instruments is readily determinable using the methods described below for marketable securities and money market funds.
The following table presents additional information about Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2013:

(2) Transfers in and out of Level 3 were on a gross basis. Transfers into Level 3 resulted from the Company being unable to corroborate the prices of these securities with a sufficient level of observable market data to maintain Level 2 classification. Transfers out of Level 3 resulted from the Company being able to obtain information demonstrating that the prices were observable in the market during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. |
Of the realized and unrealized losses included in earnings during the first quarter of 2013, none were related to Level 3 securities held by the Company at March 31, 2013.

(2) Transfers in and out of Level 3 were on a gross basis. Transfers into Level 3 resulted from the Company being unable to corroborate the prices of these securities with a sufficient level of observable market data to maintain Level 2 classification. Transfers out of Level 3 resulted from the Company being able to obtain information demonstrating that the prices were observable in the market during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. |
Of the realized and unrealized losses included in earnings during the first quarter of 2012, none were related to Level 3 securities held by the Company at March 31, 2012.
Transfers
In determining where measurements lie in the fair value hierarchy, the Company uses default assumptions regarding the general characteristics of the financial instrument as the starting point. The Company then adjusts the level assigned to the fair value measurement for financial instruments held at the end of the reporting period, as necessary, based on the weight of the evidence obtained by the Company. For most financial instruments, the Company reviews the levels assigned to its fair value measurements on a quarterly basis and recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurs.
2013
The Company transferred from Level 2 to Level 1, on a gross basis, $0.9 million of corporate debt securities held at the end of the first quarter of 2013 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The transfers of corporate debt securities from Level 2 to Level 1 were due to trading volumes sufficient to indicate an active market for the securities.
A discussion of transfers in and out of Level 3 for 2013 is presented above with the tables containing additional Level 3 information.
2012
The Company transferred, on a gross basis, $10.1 million from Level 1 to Level 2 due to lower levels of market activity for certain U.S. agency debt securities held at the end of the first quarter of 2012 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of the Company’s U.S. agency debt securities are generally categorized as Level 1 but may be downgraded based on the Company’s assessment of market activity for individual securities. The Company also transferred from Level 2 to Level 1, on a gross basis, $8.4 million of corporate debt securities and $9.8 million of U.S. agency debt securities held at the end of the first quarter of 2012 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The transfers of corporate debt securities from Level 2 to Level 1 were due to trading volumes sufficient to indicate an active market for the securities. The transfers of U.S. agency debt securities from Level 2 to Level 1 were due to the securities resuming higher levels of market activity during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
A discussion of transfers in and out of Level 3 for 2012 is presented above with the tables containing additional Level 3 information.
Valuation Techniques
Marketable Securities - General
The Company evaluates its marketable securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on accounting for investments in debt and equity securities, and has determined that all of its investments in marketable securities should be classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. The Company generally employs a market approach in valuing its marketable securities, using quoted market prices or other observable market data when available. In certain instances, when observable market data is lacking, fair values are determined using valuations techniques consistent with the income approach whereby future cash flows are converted to a single discounted amount.
Marketable Securities - Valuation Process
The Company uses third-party pricing information to report the fair values of the securities in which Lexmark is invested, though the responsibility of valuation remains with the Company’s management. For most of the securities the Company corroborates the third-party pricing information with additional pricing data the Company obtains from other available sources. Each quarter the Company utilizes multiple sources of pricing as well as broker quotes, trading and other market data in its process of assessing the reasonableness of the third-party pricing information and testing default level assumptions. The Company assesses the quantity of pricing sources available, variability in
the prices provided, trading activity and other relevant data to reasonably determine that the price provided is consistent with the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. Except for its investments in auction-rate securities, the fair values of the Company’s investments in marketable securities are based on third-party pricing information without adjustment. As permitted under the accounting guidance for fair value disclosures the Company has not provided quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of these securities.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2013 the third-party pricing information used in the valuation of the Company’s marketable securities portfolio consisted of evaluated prices from identifiable sources, whereas in previous periods the third-party pricing information consisted of consensus prices. The Company does not believe that this change resulted in a material effect on the fair value of its marketable securities portfolio.
The fair values reported for securities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy are less likely to be transacted upon than the fair values reported for securities classified in other levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Government and agency debt securities
The Company’s government and agency debt securities are generally highly liquid investments having multiple sources of pricing with low variability among the data providers. The valuation process described above is used to corroborate the prices of these securities. Fair value measurements for U.S. government and agency debt securities are most often based on quoted market prices in active markets and are categorized as Level 1. Securities with lower levels of market activity, including certain U.S. agency debt securities and international government debt securities, are typically classified as Level 2.
Corporate debt securities
The corporate debt securities in which the Company is invested most often have multiple sources of pricing with relatively low dispersion. The valuation process described above is used to corroborate the prices of these securities. The fair values of these securities are generally classified as Level 2. Certain of these securities, however, are classified as Level 3 because the Company was unable to corroborate the prices of these securities with a sufficient level of observable market data due to a low number of observed trades or pricing sources. In addition, certain corporate debt securities are classified as Level 1 due to trading volumes sufficient to indicate an active market for the securities.
Smaller amounts of commercial paper and certificates of deposit, which generally have shorter maturities and less frequent trades, are also grouped into this fixed income sector. Such securities are valued via mathematical calculations using observable inputs until such time that market activity reflects an updated price. The fair values of these securities are typically classified as Level 2 measurements.
Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities
Securities in this group include asset-backed securities, U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities, and other mortgage-backed securities. These securities generally have lower levels of trading activity than government and agency debt securities and corporate debt securities and, therefore, their fair values may be based on other inputs, such as spread data. The valuation process described above is used to corroborate the prices of these securities. Fair value measurements of these investments are most often categorized as Level 2; however, these securities are categorized as Level 3 when there is higher variability in the pricing data, a low number of pricing sources, or the Company is otherwise unable to gather supporting information to conclude that the price can be transacted upon in the market at the reporting date.
Money market funds
The money market funds in which the Company is invested are considered cash equivalents and are generally highly liquid investments. Money market funds are valued at the per share (unit) published as the basis for current transactions.
Auction Rate Securities
At March 31, 2013, the Company’s auction rate securities for which recent auctions were unsuccessful are made up of a municipal airport revenue bond valued at $3.3 million and auction rate preferred stock valued at $3.2 million. At December, 31, 2012, the Company’s auction rate securities for which recent auctions were unsuccessful were made up of a municipal airport revenue bond valued at $3.3 million, and auction rate preferred stock valued at $3.0 million.
At March 31, 2013, the Company’s auction rate securities for which recent auctions were unsuccessful were valued by a third party using a discounted cash flow model based on the characteristics of the individual securities, which the Company believes yields the best estimate of fair value. The first step in the valuation included a credit analysis of the security which considered various factors including the credit quality of the issuer (and insurer if applicable), the instrument’s position within the capital structure of the issuing authority, and the composition of the authority’s assets including the effect of insurance and/or government guarantees. Next, the future cash flows of the instruments were projected based on certain assumptions regarding the auction rate market significant to the valuation including (1) the auction rate market will remain illiquid and auctions will continue to fail causing the interest rate to be the maximum applicable rate and (2) the securities will not be redeemed prior to any scheduled redemption dates. These assumptions resulted in discounted cash flow analysis being performed through the legal maturity of July 2032 for the municipal airport revenue bond and the mandatory redemption date of December 2021 for the auction rate preferred stock. The projected cash flows were then discounted using the applicable yield curve plus a 250 basis point liquidity premium added to the applicable discount rate. Quantitative disclosures of key unobservable inputs for auction rate securities appear in the table below.
Security type | Range of discount rates (including basis point liquidity premium) | | Range of estimated forward rates applied to contractual cash flows |
| Minimum | Maximum | | Minimum | Maximum |
Auction rate securities – municipal debt | 2.7% | 8.5% | | 0.1% | 5.1% |
Auction rate securities – preferred | 2.8% | 5.2% | | 0.4% | 2.9% |
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in auction rate securities include the estimated forward rates and discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analysis as well as the basis point liquidity premium. A significant increase in the estimated forward rates, in isolation, would lead to a significantly higher fair value measurement. A significant increase in the basis point liquidity premium or discount rate, in isolation, would lead to a significantly lower fair value measurement. In certain cases a change in the estimated forward rates could be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the discount rate or basis point liquidity premium. Each quarter the Company investigates material changes in the fair value measurements of auction rate securities.
Derivatives
The Company employs a foreign currency and interest rate risk management strategy that periodically utilizes derivative instruments to protect its interests from unanticipated fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency exchange rates and interest rates. Fair values for the Company’s derivative financial instruments are based on pricing models or formulas using current market data. Variables used in the calculations include forward points, spot rates and benchmark interest rates at the time of valuation, as well as the frequency of payments to and from counterparties and effective and termination dates. Because of the very short duration of the Company’s transactional hedges there is minimal risk of nonperformance. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all of the Company's forward exchange contracts were designated as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for more information regarding the Company’s derivatives.
Senior Notes
In May 2008, the Company issued $350 million of five-year fixed rate senior unsecured notes (the “2013 senior notes”) and $300 million of ten-year fixed rate senior unsecured notes (the “2018 senior notes”). In the first quarter of 2013 the Company completed a public debt offering of $400 million of seven-year fixed rate senior unsecured
notes (the “2020 senior notes”) and repaid the 2013 senior notes. Refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for more information regarding the 2013 senior notes and 2020 senior notes.
The fair values shown in the table below are based on the prices the bonds have recently traded in the market as well as the overall market conditions on the date of valuation, stated coupon rates, the number of coupon payments each year and the maturity dates. The fair value of the debt is not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position and is therefore excluded from the fair value table above. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
| March 31, 2013 | | | December 31, 2012 |
| Fair value | | Carrying value | | Unamortized discount | | | Fair value | | Carrying value | | Unamortized discount |
2013 senior notes | $ | - | | $ | - | | $ | - | | | $ | 356.7 | | $ | 350.0 | | $ | - |
2018 senior notes | | 333.4 | | | 299.6 | | | 0.4 | | | | 328.1 | | | 299.6 | | | 0.4 |
2020 senior notes | | 408.0 | | | 400.0 | | | - | | | | - | | | - | | | - |
Total | $ | 741.4 | | $ | 699.6 | | $ | 0.4 | | | $ | 684.8 | | $ | 649.6 | | $ | 0.4 |
Other Financial Instruments
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term nature of the instruments.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Subsequent to Initial Recognition
There were no material fair value adjustments to assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to initial recognition during the first quarters of 2013 or 2012.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Business Combinations
On March 1, 2013 the Company acquired AccessVia, Inc. (“AccessVia”) and Twistage, Inc. (“Twistage”). AccessVia provides industry-leading signage solutions to create and produce retail shelf-edge materials, all from a single platform, which can be directed to a variety of output devices and published to digital signs or electronic shelf tags. AccessVia, when combined with Lexmark’s MPS and expertise in delivering print and document process solutions to the retail market, will enable customers to quickly design and produce in-store signage for better and more timely merchandising in a highly distributed store environment. Twistage offers an industry-leading, pure cloud software platform for managing video, audio and image content. When combined with Lexmark, Twistage will enable customers to capture, manage and access all of their content, including rich media content assets, within the context of their business processes and enterprise applications. Due to the timing of these acquisitions, the purchase accounting for the acquisitions of AccessVia and Twistage has not been finalized.
Of the total cash payment of $31.5 million, $29.0 million was paid to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of AccessVia and Twistage. Additionally, $2.3 million of the total cash payment was used to pay certain transaction costs and other obligations of the sellers and $0.2 million relates to assets acquired by the Company that were recognized separately from the acquisitions.
The following table summarizes the provisional values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date for AccessVia and Twistage. The intangible assets subject to amortization are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date.
| Estimated Fair Value | | Weighted-Average Useful Life (years) |
Cash | $ | 0.9 | | |
Trade receivables | | 1.3 | | |
Other current assets | | 0.1 | | |
Property, plant and equipment | | 1.0 | | |
Identifiable intangible assets: | | | | |
Developed technology | | 7.7 | | 5.0 |
Customer relationships | | 11.1 | | 7.0 |
Trade names | | 0.1 | | 1.0 |
Other long-term assets | | 0.1 | | |
Accounts payable | | (1.5 | ) | |
Deferred revenue | | (2.6 | ) | |
Other current liabilities | | (2.1 | ) | |
Deferred tax liability, net (*) | | (2.4 | ) | |
Total identifiable net assets | | 13.7 | | |
Goodwill | | 15.3 | | |
Total purchase price | $ | 29.0 | | |
| | | | |
* Deferred tax liability, net primarily relates to purchased identifiable intangible assets and is shown net of deferred tax assets. |
The $15.3 million of goodwill resulting from the acquisitions was assigned to the Company’s Perceptive Software segment and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The provisional total estimated fair value of intangible assets acquired was $18.9 million, with a weighted-average useful life of 6.2 years.
The purchases of AccessVia and Twistage are included in Purchase of businesses, net of cash acquired in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 in the amount of $28.1 million. Total cash acquired in the acquisitions of AccessVia and Twistage was $0.9 million. The Company also acquired intangible assets in the form of non-compete agreements from certain employees of AccessVia and Twistage. These agreements were valued at $0.2 million and were recognized separately from the acquisitions.
A change to the acquisition date value of the identifiable net assets during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) will affect the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill. Changes to the purchase price allocation are adjusted retrospectively to the acquisition date if material.
Acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.2 million were charged directly to operations and were included in Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Acquisition-related costs include finder's fees, legal, advisory, valuation, accounting, and other fees incurred to effect the business combination. Acquisition-related costs above do not include travel and integration expenses.
Additionally, in the first quarter of 2013 the Company recognized measurement period adjustments related to the Company’s acquisition of Acuo in the fourth quarter of 2012 affecting other current assets $(0.3) million, accounts payable $(0.1) million, other current liabilities $(1.5) million and goodwill $1.9 million. The measurement period adjustments were determined based on facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date and were adjusted retrospectively to the consolidated financial results.
Because the current levels of revenue and net earnings for AccessVia and Twistage are not material to the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings, supplemental pro forma revenue and net earnings disclosures have been omitted.
The purchases of BDGB Enterprise Software (Lux) S.C.A. (“Brainware”), Nolij Corporation (“Nolij”) and ISYS Search Software Pty Ltd. (“ISYS”) in the first quarter of 2012 are included in Purchase of businesses, net of cash acquired in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 in the amount of $204.7 million.
Divestiture
In August 2012 the Company announced restructuring actions including exiting the development and manufacturing of its remaining inkjet hardware. On April 1, 2013, the Company and Funai Electric Co., Ltd., (“Funai”), entered into a Master Inkjet Sale Agreement of the Company’s inkjet technology and related assets (the “Inkjet Assets”) to Funai for total cash consideration of $100 million. Included in the sale are one of the Company’s subsidiaries, certain intellectual property and other assets of the Company. The Company will also provide certain transition services to Funai. The Company will continue to sell supplies for its current inkjet installed base. Refer to Note 18, Subsequent Events, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information regarding the closing of the Company’s sale of inkjet technology and related assets.
The Inkjet Assets, listed in the table below, qualified as held-for-sale at March 31, 2013, but along with the related liabilities shown below, were not material for separate presentation on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position as of March 31, 2013. The Inkjet Assets and related liabilities are part of the Company’s ISS segment. The values shown below are provisional and subject to change upon closing of the sale. In addition, the Company expects to incur certain expenses in the future related to the sale.
Current assets | $ | 4.0 | |
Property, plant & equipment | | 27.3 | |
Long-term assets | | 3.2 | |
Current liabilities | | (2.6 | ) |
Long-term liabilities | | (2.6 | ) |
Accumulated other comprehensive income | | (10.9 | ) |
4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements the disclosures of goodwill and intangible assets shown below include provisional amounts that are subject to measurement period adjustments.
Goodwill
The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for each reportable segment and in total during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
| ISS | | Perceptive Software | | Total | |
Beginning balance | $ | 23.2 | | $ | 355.5 | | $ | 378.7 | |
Goodwill acquired during the period | | - | | | 15.3 | | | 15.3 | |

Balance at March 31, 2013 | $ | 22.4 | | $ | 368.6 | | $ | 391.0 | |
The Company has recorded, on a provisional basis, $15.3 million of goodwill related to the acquisitions of AccessVia and Twistage in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Measurement period adjustments determined in the first quarter of 2013 related to the Company’s acquisition of Acuo in the fourth quarter of 2012 were applied retrospectively, increasing the beginning balance of goodwill by $1.9 million. Included in the goodwill balance for the Company’s ISS segment is $1.1 million of goodwill that was allocated to the inkjet disposal group held-for-sale at March 31, 2013. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional details regarding business combinations occurring in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as well as information related to divestitures. The Company does not have any accumulated impairment charges as of March 31, 2013.
Intangible Assets
The following table summarizes the gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets.
| March 31, 2013 | | | December 31, 2012 |

Intangible assets acquired in a transaction accounted for as a business combination are initially recognized at fair value. Intangible assets acquired in a transaction accounted for as an asset acquisition are initially recognized at cost. Of the $338.3 million gross carrying amount at March 31, 2013, $316.9 million were acquired in transactions accounted for as business combinations, $0.6 million consisted of negotiated non-compete agreements recognized separately from a business combination and $20.8 million were acquired in transactions accounted for as asset acquisitions.
The year-to-date increases in the intangible assets above were driven by business combinations discussed in Note 3. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $13.5 million and $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The following table summarizes the estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets that are currently being amortized.
Fiscal year: | |
2013 (remaining nine months) | $ | 41.6 |
2014 | | 51.9 |
2015 | | 42.1 |
2016 | | 34.2 |
2017 | | 19.5 |
Thereafter | | 12.6 |
Total | $ | 201.9 |
In-process technology refers to research and development efforts that were in process on the date the Company acquired Acuo. Under the accounting guidance for intangible assets, in-process research and development acquired in a business combination is considered an indefinite lived asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. The Company begins amortizing its in-process technology assets upon completion of the projects.
The Perceptive Software trade name valued at $32.3 million is considered to have an indefinite life taking into account its substantial recognition among customers, the intellectual property rights are secure and can be maintained with relatively little cost and effort, and there are no current plans to change or abandon its usage. Costs to renew these registrations are insignificant and will be expensed as incurred. The Company does not intend to use its other acquired trade names and trademarks indefinitely, and has accordingly begun amortizing the related assets. The Company’s expected use of its acquired trade names and trademarks could change in future periods as the Company considers alternatives for going to market with its acquired software and solutions products.
The Company accounts for its internal-use software, an intangible asset by nature, in Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position and therefore has excluded these assets and
amortization from the disclosures above. The gross and net carrying amounts of internal-use software at March 31, 2013 were $549.4 million and $218.3 million, respectively. The gross and net carrying amounts of internal-use software at December 31, 2012 were $541.7 million and $230.0 million, respectively.
5. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
2012 Restructuring Actions
General
As part of Lexmark’s ongoing strategy to increase the focus of its talent and resources on higher usage business platforms, the Company announced restructuring actions (the “2012 Restructuring Actions”) on January 31 and August 28, 2012. These actions better align the Company’s sales, marketing and development resources, and align and reduce its support structure consistent with its focus on business customers. The 2012 Restructuring Actions include exiting the development and manufacturing of the Company’s remaining inkjet hardware, with reductions primarily in the areas of inkjet-related manufacturing, research and development, supply chain, marketing and sales as well as other support functions. The Company will continue to provide service, support and aftermarket supplies for its inkjet installed base. The Company expects these actions to be complete by the end of 2015.
The 2012 Restructuring Actions are expected to impact about 1,525 positions worldwide, including 300 manufacturing positions. The 2012 Restructuring Actions will result in total pre-tax charges of approximately $137 million, with $115.7 million incurred to date, approximately $9.7 million remaining to be incurred in 2013, and approximately $11.6 million to be incurred in 2014 and 2015. The Company expects the total cash costs of the 2012 Restructuring Actions to be approximately $57 million with $52.1 incurred to date, and approximately $4.9 million remaining in 2013 and 2014.
The Company expects to incur total charges related to the 2012 Restructuring Actions of approximately $109 million in ISS, $25 million in All other and $3 million in Perceptive Software.
In April 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain inkjet technology and related assets. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for more information.
Impact to 2013 and 2012 Financial Results
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred charges (reversals) for the Company’s 2012 Restructuring Actions as follows:
| 2013 | | 2012 |
Accelerated depreciation charges | $ | 4.2 | | $ | 4.3 |
Excess components and other inventory-related charges | | 5.0 | | | - |
Employee termination benefit charges | | (4.0 | ) | | 4.1 |
Total restructuring-related charges | $ | 5.2 | | $ | 8.4 |
The estimated useful lives of certain long-lived assets changed as a result of the Company’s decision to exit the development and manufacture of inkjet hardware. Accelerated depreciation and impairment charges for the 2012 Restructuring Actions and all of the other restructuring actions were determined in accordance with FASB guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred accelerated depreciation charges of $2.2 million in Restructuring-related costs, and $2.0 million in Selling, general and administrative, on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred accelerated depreciation charges of $4.3 million in Restructuring-related costs on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
As a result of the Company’s decision to cease the manufacture of inkjet hardware it incurred certain inventory related charges determined in accordance with FASB guidance on inventory. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred excess component and other inventory-related charges of $5.0 million in Restructuring-related costs on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
Employee termination benefit charges and contract termination and lease charges for the 2012 Restructuring Actions and all of the other restructuring actions were recorded in accordance with FASB guidance on employers’ accounting for postemployment benefits and guidance on accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, as appropriate. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, employee termination benefit charges, which include severance, medical and other benefits are included in Restructuring and related (reversals) charges on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The $(4.0) million reversal in employee termination benefits for the three months ending March 31, 2013 is due to change in assumptions regarding reductions in workforce, driven by the inclusion of one of the Company’s subsidiaries in the sale of inkjet technology and related assets that closed in the second quarter of 2013.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred restructuring-related charges in connection with the 2012 Restructuring Actions in the Company’s segments as follows:

Summary of Other Restructuring Actions
General
In response to global economic weakening, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations, enhance the efficiency of the Company’s inkjet cartridge manufacturing operations and to reduce the Company’s business support cost and expense structure, the Company announced various restructuring actions (“Other Restructuring Actions”) from 2006 to October 2009. The Other Restructuring Actions include closing the Company’s inkjet supplies manufacturing facilities in Mexico, the consolidating of its cartridge manufacturing capacity, as well as impacting positions in the Company’s general and administrative functions, supply chain and sales support, marketing and sales management, and consolidating of the Company’s research and development programs. The Other Restructuring Actions are considered substantially completed and any remaining charges to be incurred from these actions are expected to be immaterial.

6. DEBT
Senior Notes – Long-term Debt
In March 2013, the Company completed a public debt offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior unsecured notes. The seven-year notes with an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million and 5.125% coupon were priced at 99.998% to have an effective yield to maturity of 5.125% and will mature March 15, 2020 (referred to as the “2020 senior notes”). The notes will rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The ten-year notes, from the May 2008 public debt offering, with an aggregate principal amount of $300 million and 6.65% coupon were priced at 99.73% to have an effective yield to maturity of 6.687% and will mature June 1, 2018 (referred to as the “2018 senior notes”). At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of long-term debt was $699.6 million (net of unamortized discount of $0.4 million).
The 2020 senior notes will pay interest on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2013. The 2018 senior notes pay interest on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The interest rate payable on the notes of each series will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services downgrades the debt rating assigned to the notes to a level below investment grade, or subsequently upgrades the ratings.
The senior notes contain typical restrictions on liens, sale leaseback transactions, mergers and sales of assets. There are no sinking fund requirements on the senior notes and they may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Company, at a redemption price as described in the related indenture agreements, as supplemented and amended, in whole or in part. If a “change of control triggering event” as defined below occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes in cash from the holders at a price equal to 101% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. A “change of control triggering event” is defined as the occurrence of both a change of control and a downgrade in the debt rating assigned to the notes to a level below investment grade.
In March 2013, the Company repaid its $350.0 million principal amount of 5.90% senior notes that were due on June 1, 2013 (referred to as the “2013 senior notes”). A loss of $3.3 million was recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings, related to $3.2 million of premium paid upon repayment and $0.1 million related to the write-off of related debt issuance costs.
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2020 senior notes offering to extinguish the 2013 senior notes and intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund share repurchases, fund dividends, finance acquisitions, finance capital expenditures and operating expenses and invest in any subsidiaries.
The Company evaluates its marketable securities in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for investments in debt and equity securities, and has determined that all of its investments in marketable securities should be classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data, discount cash flow analyses, or in some cases, the Company’s amortized cost which approximates fair value.
Money market funds included in Cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position are excluded from the information contained in this Note. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information regarding these investments.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s available-for-sale Marketable securities had gross unrealized gains and losses of $3.2 million and $(1.6) million, respectively, and consisted of the following:
| Amortized Cost | | Gross Unrealized Gains | | Gross Unrealized Losses | | Estimated Fair Value | |
Auction rate securities - municipal debt | $ | 3.8 | | $ | - | | $ | (0.5 | ) | $ | 3.3 | |
Corporate debt securities | | 351.9 | | | 2.1 | | | (0.2 | ) | | 353.8 | |
Gov't and agency debt securities | | 339.4 | | | 0.4 | | | - | | | 339.8 | |
Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities | | 59.2 | | | 0.7 | | | (0.1 | ) | | 59.8 | |

Total marketable securities | $ | 735.2 | | $ | 3.2 | | $ | (1.6 | ) | $ | 736.8 | |
At December 31, 2012, the Company’s available-for-sale Marketable securities had gross unrealized gains and losses of $3.6 million and $(1.6) million, respectively, with an estimated fair value of $699.7 million excluding $7.5 million of cash equivalents.
Although contractual maturities of the Company’s investment in debt securities may be greater than one year, the majority of investments are classified as Current assets in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position due to the Company’s ability to use these investments for current liquidity needs if required. As of March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, auction rate securities of $6.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively, are classified in noncurrent assets due to the fact that the securities have experienced unsuccessful auctions and that poor market conditions have reduced the likelihood that the securities will successfully auction within the next 12
months. The contractual maturities of the Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities noted above are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from final contractual maturities for certain securities that allow for call or prepayment provisions. Proceeds from calls and prepayments are included in Proceeds from maturities of marketable securities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flow.
| March 31, 2013 | | | December 31, 2012 |
| Amortized Cost | | Estimated Fair Value | | | Amortized Cost | | Estimated Fair Value |
Due in less than one year | $ | 196.3 | | $ | 196.6 | | | $ | 185.4 | | $ | 185.8 |
Due in 1-5 years | | 538.9 | | | 541.0 | | | | 498.3 | | | 500.9 |
Due after 5 years | | 23.1 | | | 22.3 | | | | 21.5 | | | 20.5 |
Total available-for-sale marketable securities | $ | 758.3 | | $ | 759.9 | | | $ | 705.2 | | $ | 707.2 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in net gains on its marketable securities, all of which is realized gains due to sales and maturities and is included in Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The Company uses the specific identification method when accounting for the costs of its available-for-sale marketable securities sold.
Impairment
The FASB guidance on the recognition and presentation of OTTI requires that credit related OTTI on debt securities be recognized in earnings while noncredit related OTTI of debt securities not expected to be sold be recognized in other comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred no OTTI on its debt securities.
The table below presents a cumulative rollforward of the amount related to credit losses recognized in earnings for other-than-temporary impairments:
Beginning balance of amounts related to credit losses, January 1, 2013 | $ | 0.3 |
Credit losses on debt securities for which OTTI was not previously recognized | | - |
Additional credit losses on debt securities for which OTTI was previously recognized | | - |
Reductions for securities sold in the period for which OTTI was previously recognized | | - |
Ending balance of amounts related to credit losses, March 31, 2013 | $ | 0.3 |
The following table provides information at March 31, 2013, about the Company’s marketable securities with gross unrealized losses for which no other-than-temporary impairment has been incurred, and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position. The gross unrealized loss of $(1.6) million, pre-tax, is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income:
| Less than 12 Months | | 12 Months or More | | Total | |
| Fair Value | | Unrealized Loss | | Fair Value | | Unrealized Loss | | Fair Value | | Unrealized Loss | |
|
Auction rate securities | $ | - | | $ | - | | $ | 6.5 | | $ | (1.3 | ) | $ | 6.5 | | $ | (1.3 | ) |
Corporate debt securities | | 74.8 | | | (0.2 | ) | | 1.2 | | | - | | | 76.0 | | | (0.2 | ) |
Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities | | 21.4 | | | (0.1 | ) | | 0.2 | | | - | | | 21.6 | | | (0.1 | ) |
Government and Agency | | 38.3 | | | - | | | - | | | - | | | 38.3 | | | - | |
Total | $ | 134.5 | | $ | (0.3 | ) | $ | 7.9 | | $ | (1.3 | ) | $ | 142.4 | | $ | (1.6 | ) |
As of March 31, 2013, none of the Company’s marketable securities for which other-than-temporary impairment has been incurred are in an unrealized loss position.
The Company’s valuation process for its auction rate security portfolio begins with a credit analysis of each instrument. Under this method, the security is analyzed for factors impacting its future cash flows, such as the underlying collateral, credit ratings, credit insurance or other guarantees, and the level of seniority of the specific tranche of the security. Future cash flows are projected incorporating certain security specific assumptions such as the ratings outlook, the assumption that the auction market will remain illiquid and that the security’s interest rate will continue to be set at the maximum applicable rate, and that the security will not be redeemed until its mandatory redemption date. The methodology for determining the appropriate discount rate uses market-based yield indicators and the underlying collateral as a baseline for determining the appropriate yield curve, and then adjusting the resultant rate on the basis of the credit and structural analysis of the security. The unrealized losses on the Company’s auction rate portfolio are a result of the illiquidity in this market sector and are not due to credit quality. The Company has the intent to hold these securities until liquidity in the market or optional issuer redemption occurs, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before anticipated recovery. Additionally, if the Company requires capital, the Company has available liquidity through its trade receivables facility and revolving credit facility.
Corporate debt securities
Unrealized losses on the Company’s corporate debt securities are attributable to current economic conditions and are not due to credit quality. Because the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before anticipated recovery of their net book values, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider securities in its corporate debt portfolio to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013.
Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities
Credit losses for the asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are derived by examining the significant drivers that affect loan performance such as pre-payment speeds, default rates, and current loan status. These drivers are used to apply specific assumptions to each security and are further divided in order to separate the underlying collateral into distinct groups based on loan performance characteristics. For instance, more weight is placed on higher risk categories such as collateral that exhibits higher than normal default rates, those loans originated in high risk states where home appreciation has suffered the most severe correction, and those loans which exhibit longer delinquency rates. Based on these characteristics, collateral-specific assumptions are applied to build a model to project future cash flows expected to be collected. These cash flows are then discounted at the current yield used to accrete the beneficial interest, which approximates the effective interest rate implicit in the bond at the date of acquisition for those securities purchased at par. The unrealized losses on the Company’s remaining asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are due to constraints in market liquidity for certain portions of these sectors in which the Company has investments, and are not due to credit quality. Because the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before anticipated recovery of their net book values, the Company does not consider the remainder of its asset-backed and mortgage-backed debt portfolio to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013.
Government and Agency securities
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in government and agency securities are the result of interest rate effects. Because the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before anticipated recovery of their net book values, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013.

Non-current portion | | 104.4 | | | 101.4 | |
Balance at March 31 | $ | 187.2 | | $ | 181.7 | |
Both the short-term portion of warranty and the short-term portion of extended warranty are included in Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position. Both the long-term portion of warranty and the long-term portion of extended warranty are included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position. The split between the short-term and long-term portion of the warranty liability is not disclosed separately above due to immaterial amounts in the long-term portion.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was an expense of $5.4 million or an effective tax rate of 13.5%, compared to an expense of $21.3 million or an effective tax rate of 26.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The difference in these rates (excluding discrete items) is primarily due to a shift in the expected geographic distribution of earnings for 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company decreased income tax expense by $5.2 million in recognition of several discrete items. Of this amount, $6.0 million is related to the reenactment of the research and experimentation credit for the year 2012. The remaining $0.8 million increase in tax expense is primarily related to years prior to 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company increased income tax expense by $1.0 million in recognition of several discrete items, all of which were adjustments to amounts accrued for tax years prior to 2012.
11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In August 2012, the Company received authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase an additional $200 million of its Class A Common Stock for a total repurchase authority of $4.85 billion. As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $230 million of share repurchase authority remaining. This repurchase authority allows the Company, at management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase its stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon market price and other factors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 0.9 million shares at a cost of $21 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares at a cost of $30 million. As of March 31, 2013, since the inception of the program in April 1996, the Company had repurchased approximately 108.6 million shares of its Class A Common Stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $4.62 billion. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had reissued approximately 0.5 million shares of previously repurchased shares in connection with certain of its employee benefit programs. As a result of these issuances as well as the retirement of 44.0 million, 16.0 million and 16.0 million shares of treasury stock in 2005, 2006 and 2008, respectively, the net treasury shares outstanding at March 31, 2013, were 32.0 million.
Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement
On January 29, 2013, the Company entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (“ASR”) Agreement with a financial institution counterparty. The impact of the ASR Agreement is included in the numerical disclosures provided in the preceding paragraphs. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company paid $21.0 million targeting 0.9 million shares based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on January 29, 2013. On February 1, 2013, the Company took delivery of 85% of the shares, or 0.8 million shares. The final number of shares to be delivered by the counterparty under the ASR Agreement was dependent on the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock over the agreement’s trading period, a discount and the initial number of shares delivered. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company would either receive additional shares from the counterparty or be required to deliver additional shares or cash to the counterparty. The Company controlled its election to either deliver additional shares or cash to the counterparty. On February 20, 2013, the Company took delivery of the remaining 0.1 million shares in final settlement of the ASR Agreement.
The ASR Agreement discussed in the preceding paragraph was accounted for as an initial treasury stock transaction and a forward stock purchase contract. The initial repurchase of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share. The forward stock purchase contract (settlement provision) was considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and was classified as an equity instrument under accounting guidance applicable to contracts in an entity’s own equity.
Dividends
The Company’s dividend activity during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was as follows:
| | | | | | Lexmark International, Inc. Class A Common Stock |
| | | | |
Declaration Date | | Record Date | | Payment Date | | Dividend Per Share | | Cash Outlay |
February 21, 2013 | | March 4, 2013 | | March 15, 2013 | | $0.30 | | $19.1 |
The payment of the cash dividends also resulted in the issuance of additional dividend equivalent units to holders of restricted stock units. Diluted weighted average Lexmark Class A share amounts presented reflect this issuance. All cash dividends and dividend equivalent units are accounted for as reductions of shareholders’ equity.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Earnings
Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) earnings, net of tax, consists of the following:
| Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment | | Pension or Other Postretirement Benefits | | Net Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities - OTTI | | Net Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities | | Net Unrealized (Loss) Gain on Cash Flow Hedge | | Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Earnings | |
Balance at December 31, 2012 | $ | (4.9 | ) | $ | (279.8 | ) | $ | 0.1 | | $ | 2.0 | | $ | (0.9 | ) | $ | (283.5 | ) |
Other comprehensive income before reclassifications | | (7.9 | ) | | 1.3 | | | 0.1 | | | - | | | 0.9 | | | (5.6 | ) |
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income | | - | | | 4.8 | | | - | | | (0.4 | ) | | - | | | 4.4 | |
Net current-period other comprehensive income | | (7.9 | ) | | 6.1 | | | 0.1 | | | (0.4 | ) | | 0.9 | | | (1.2 | ) |

The net current-period other comprehensive income of $0.1 million in the table above for Net Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities – OTTI represents a net increase in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities previously written down as OTTI.
The March 31, 2013 ending balance of $0.2 million in the table above for Net Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities – OTTI represents the cumulative favorable mark to market adjustment on debt securities for which OTTI was previously recognized under the amended FASB guidance adopted by the Company in 2009.
For the period ending March 31, 2013, the following table provides details of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income:

Basic net EPS | $ | 0.55 | | $ | 0.85 |
Diluted net EPS | $ | 0.54 | | $ | 0.84 |
Restricted stock units, stock options, and dividend equivalent units totaling an additional 3.0 million and 5.2 million shares of Class A Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.
Under the terms of Lexmark’s RSU agreements, unvested RSU awards contain forfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalent units. Because the dividend equivalent units are forfeitable, they are defined as non-participating securities. As of March 31, 2013, there were approximately 0.1 million dividend equivalent units outstanding, which will vest at the time that the underlying RSU vests.
In addition to the 3.0 million antidilutive shares for the three months ended March 31, 2013, mentioned above, unvested restricted stock units with a performance condition that were granted in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 were also excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. According to FASB guidance on earnings per share, contingently issuable shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS if, based on current period results, the shares would not be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. If the performance condition were to become satisfied based on actual financial results and the performance awards would have a dilutive impact on EPS, the performance awards included in the diluted EPS calculation would be in the range of 0.1 million to 0.7 million shares depending on the level of achievement.
13. EMPLOYEE PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for both the pension and postretirement plans for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Amortization of prior service (benefit) cost | | - | | | (0.1 | ) |
Net periodic benefit cost | $ | 0.5 | | $ | 0.5 | |
As of March 31, 2013, $3.4 million of contributions have been made. The Company currently expects to contribute approximately $22 million to its pension and other postretirement plans for the remainder of 2013.
14. DERIVATIVES
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Lexmark’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company’s risk management program seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that market risks may have on its operating results.
Lexmark maintains a foreign currency risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to protect its interests from unanticipated fluctuations in earnings caused by volatility in currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue leveraged derivative instruments. Lexmark maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that may, from time to time use derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates and interest rates, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Lexmark manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of the agreement. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Company manages exposure to market risk associated with interest rate and foreign exchange contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
Lexmark uses fair value hedges to reduce the potentially adverse effects that market volatility may have on its operating results. Fair value hedges are hedges of recognized assets or liabilities. Lexmark enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities. The forward contracts used in this program generally mature in three months or less, consistent with the underlying asset or liability. Foreign exchange forward contracts may be used as fair value hedges in situations where derivative instruments expose earnings to further changes in exchange rates.
Lexmark entered into a forward starting interest rate swap in December 2012 that was designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company used this instrument to lock in currently low interest rates for a forecasted issuance of debt. The instrument hedged the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark three-month
LIBOR interest rate for the first seven years of interest payments, on the first $325 million of debt issued in the first quarter of 2013.
Net outstanding notional amount of derivative activity as of March 31, 2013 is as follows. This activity was driven by fair value hedges of recognized assets and liabilities primarily denominated in the currencies below.
Long (Short) Positions by Currency (in USD) | March 31, 2013 |
EUR | $ | 37.7 |
GBP | | 35.8 |
CAD | | 30.1 |
Other, net | | 12.6 |
Total | $ | 116.2 |
Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities
All derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position at their fair value. Fair values for Lexmark’s derivative financial instruments are based on pricing models or formulas using current market data, or where applicable, quoted market prices. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a fair value hedge. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective as — and that is designated and qualifies as — a fair value hedge, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability are recorded in current period earnings in Cost of revenue or Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Derivatives qualifying as hedges are included in the same section of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows as the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged.
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had the following net derivative assets (liabilities) recorded at fair value in Prepaid expenses and other current assets (Accrued liabilities) on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position:
| Net Asset Position | | Net (Liability) Position | |
Foreign Exchange Contracts | March 31, 2013 | | December 31, 2012 | | March 31, 2013 | | December 31, 2012 | |
Gross liability position | $ | (0.1 | ) | $ | (0.1 | ) | $ | (0.9 | ) | $ | (0.8 | ) |
Gross asset position | | 0.4 | | | 0.3 | | | 0.1 | | | 0.2 | |
Net asset (liability) position (1) | | 0.3 | | | 0.2 | | | (0.8 | ) | | (0.6 | ) |

(2) Amounts not offset in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position | |
There were no interest rate swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s forward starting interest rate swap cash flow hedge was valued at $1.4 million and recorded in Accrued liabilities and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position. The instrument was settled at $0.0 million upon the issuance of debt by the Company in the first quarter of 2013.
The Company had the following (gains) and losses related to derivative instruments qualifying and designated as hedging instruments in fair value hedges and related hedged items recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings:
| Recorded in Cost of revenue* | | Recorded in Other (income) expense, net | |
| Three Months Ended March 31 | | Three Months Ended March 31 | |

Total | $ | 2.2 | | $ | 1.5 | | $ | 0.3 | | $ | (0.5 | ) |
* Gains and losses recorded in Cost of revenue are included in Product on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings
Lexmark formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge items. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively, as discussed below.
Lexmark discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it is determined that a derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of a hedged item or (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, the derivative will continue to be carried on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position at its fair value. In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will be carried at its fair value on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position, with changes in its fair value recognized in current period earnings.
Additional information regarding derivatives can be referenced in Note 2, Fair Value, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
15. SEGMENT DATA
Lexmark operates in the office imaging and enterprise content and business process management markets. The Company is managed primarily along two segments: ISS and Perceptive Software.
ISS offers a broad portfolio of monochrome and color laser printers and laser multifunction products as well as a wide range of supplies and services covering its printing products and technology solutions. In August 2012, the Company announced it will exit the development and manufacturing of inkjet technology. The Company will continue to provide service, support and aftermarket supplies for its inkjet installed base.
Perceptive Software offers a complete suite of enterprise content management (“ECM”), business process management (“BPM”), document output management (“DOM”), intelligent data capture and search software as well as associated industry specific solutions. On February 29, March 13, and March 16, 2012, the Company acquired Brainware, Nolij and ISYS, respectively, which all joined the Company’s Perceptive Software segment. These acquisitions further strengthen the Company’s products, content/business process management solutions and managed print services. On December 28, 2012, the Company expanded its presence within the healthcare sector with the acquisition of Acuo which also joined the Perceptive Software segment. On March 1, 2013, the Company acquired AccessVia and Twistage further expanding and strengthening the solutions available in the Perceptive Software segment.
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenue and operating income, and does not include segment assets or non-operating income/expense items for management reporting purposes. Segment operating income (loss) includes: selling, general and administrative; research and development; restructuring and related charges; and other expenses, certain of which are allocated to the respective segments based on internal measures and may not be
indicative of amounts that would be incurred on a standalone basis or may not be indicative of results of other enterprises in similar businesses. All other operating income (loss) includes significant expenses that are managed outside of the reporting segments. These unallocated costs include such items as information technology expenses, certain occupancy costs, stock-based compensation and certain other corporate and regional general and administrative expenses such as finance, legal and human resources. Acquisition-related costs and integration expenses are also included primarily in All other.
The following table includes information about the Company’s reportable segments:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | |
| 2013 | | 2012 | |
Revenue: | | | | |
ISS | $ | 840.1 | | $ | 963.0 | |

Operating income (loss) noted above for the three months ended March 31, 2012 includes restructuring and related charges of $9.0 million in ISS and $0.2 million in All other. Operating income (loss) related to Perceptive Software for the three months ended March 31, 2012 includes $7.5 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired by the Company.
16. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment, employee benefits and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. In addition, various governmental authorities have from time to time initiated inquiries and investigations, some of which are ongoing, including concerns regarding the activities of participants in the markets for printers and supplies. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with those governmental authorities in these matters.
Pursuant to the accounting guidance for contingencies, the Company regularly evaluates the probability of a potential loss of its material litigation, claims or assessments to determine whether a liability has been incurred and whether it is probable that one or more future events will occur confirming the loss. If a potential loss is determined by the Company to be probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company establishes an accrual for the litigation, claim or assessment. If it is determined that a potential loss for the litigation, claim or assessment is less than probable, the Company assesses whether a potential loss is reasonably possible, and will disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss; provided, however, if a reasonable estimate cannot be made, the Company will provide disclosure to that effect. On at least a quarterly basis, management confers with outside counsel to evaluate all current litigation, claims or assessments in which the Company is involved. Management then meets internally to evaluate all of the Company's current litigation, claims or assessments. During these meetings, management discusses all existing and new matters, including, but not limited to, (i) the nature of the proceeding; (ii) the status of each proceeding; (iii) the opinions of legal counsel and other advisors related to each proceeding; (iv) the Company's experience or experience of other entities in similar proceedings; (v) the damages sought for each proceeding; (vi) whether the damages are unsupported and/or exaggerated;
(vii) substantive rulings by the court; (viii) information gleaned through settlement discussions; (ix) whether there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (x) whether there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (xi) whether the matters involve novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories. At these meetings, management concludes whether accruals are required for each matter because a potential loss is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated; whether an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss can be made for matters in which a potential loss is not probable, but reasonably possible; or whether a reasonable estimate cannot be made for a matter.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable and may result in adverse rulings or decisions. In the event that any one or more of these litigation matters, claims or assessments result in a substantial judgment against, or settlement by, the Company, the resulting liability could also have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
Legal proceedings
Lexmark v. Static Control Components, Inc.
On December 30, 2002 ("02 action") and March 16, 2004 ("04 action"), the Company filed claims against Static Control Components, Inc. ("SCC") in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky (the "District Court") alleging violation of the Company's intellectual property and state law rights. SCC filed counterclaims against the Company in the District Court alleging that the Company engaged in anti-competitive and monopolistic conduct and unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of the Sherman Act, the Lanham Act and state laws. SCC has stated in its legal documents that it is seeking approximately $17.8 million to $19.5 million in damages for the Company's alleged anticompetitive conduct and approximately $1 billion for Lexmark's alleged violation of the Lanham Act. SCC is also seeking treble damages, attorney fees, costs and injunctive relief. On September 28, 2006, the District Court dismissed the counterclaims filed by SCC that alleged the Company engaged in anti-competitive and monopolistic conduct and unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of the Sherman Act, the Lanham Act and state laws. On June 20, 2007, the District Court Judge ruled that SCC directly infringed one of Lexmark's patents-in-suit. On June 22, 2007, the jury returned a verdict that SCC did not induce infringement of Lexmark's patents-in-suit.
SCC also has filed motions with the District Court seeking attorneys' fees, cost as well as damages for the period that a preliminary injunction was in place that prevented SCC from selling certain microchips for some models of the Company's toner cartridges. SCC’s motions for attorneys’ fees and costs remain pending with the District Court.
Appeal briefs for the 02 and 04 actions were filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit by SCC and the Company. In a decision dated August 29, 2012, the Sixth Circuit upheld the jury's decision that SCC did not induce patent infringement and the District Court’s dismissal of SCC's federal antitrust claims. The procedural dismissal of Static Control's Lanham Act claim and state law unfair competition claims by the District Court were reversed and remanded to the District Court. A writ of certiorari has been requested by the Company with the U.S. Supreme Court over the Sixth Circuit’s decision regarding the Lanham Act.
The Company has not established an accrual for the SCC litigation, because it has not determined that a loss with respect to such litigation is probable. Although there is a reasonable possibility of a potential loss with respect to the SCC litigation, with SCC's claims being dismissed in the early stages of the litigation, the Company does not believe a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss is currently possible in view of the uncertainty regarding the amount of damages, if any, that could be awarded in this matter.
Molina v. Lexmark
On August 31, 2005 former Company employee Ron Molina filed a class action lawsuit in the California Superior Court for Los Angeles under a California employment statute which in effect prohibits the forfeiture of vacation time accrued. This statute has been used to invalidate California employers' "use or lose" vacation policies. The class is comprised of less than 200 current and former California employees of the Company. The trial was bifurcated into a liability phase and a damages phase. On May 1, 2009, the trial court Judge brought the liability phase to a conclusion with a ruling that the Company's vacation and personal choice day's policies from 1991 to the present violated California law. In a Statement of Decision, received by the Company on August 27, 2010, the trial court Judge awarded the class members approximately $8.3 million in damages which included waiting time penalties and
interest but did not include post judgment interest, costs and attorneys' fees. On November 17, 2010, the trial court Judge partially granted the Company's motion for a new trial solely as to the argument that current employees are not entitled to any damages. On March 7, 2011 the trial court Judge reduced the original award to $7.8 million. On October 28, 2011, the trial court Judge awarded the class members $5.7 million in attorneys' fees.
The Company filed a notice of appeal with the California Court of Appeals objecting to the trial court Judge's award of damages and attorneys' fees. The appeal is pending.
The Company believes an unfavorable outcome in the matter is probable. The range of potential loss related to this matter is subject to a high degree of estimation. In accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies, if the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. Because no amount within the range of potential loss is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company has accrued $1.8 million for the Molina matter, which represents the low-end of the range. At the high-end of the range, the class has sought $16.7 million in damages along with $5.7 million in attorneys' fees, plus post judgment interest. Thus, it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the $1.8 million already accrued may be incurred in this matter, ranging from $0 to $22.4 million, excluding post judgment interest, costs and any additional attorneys' fees which may be assessed against the Company.
Copyright fees
Certain countries (primarily in Europe) and/or collecting societies representing copyright owners' interests have taken action to impose fees on devices (such as scanners, printers and multifunction devices) alleging the copyright owners are entitled to compensation because these devices enable reproducing copyrighted content. Other countries are also considering imposing fees on certain devices. The amount of fees, if imposed, would depend on the number of products sold and the amounts of the fee on each product, which will vary by product and by country. The Company has accrued amounts that it believes are adequate to address the risks related to the copyright fee issues currently pending. The financial impact on the Company, which will depend in large part upon the outcome of local legislative processes, the Company's and other industry participants' outcome in contesting the fees and the Company's ability to mitigate that impact by increasing prices, which ability will depend upon competitive market conditions, remains uncertain. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has accrued approximately $59.7 million for pending copyright fee charges, including litigation proceedings, local legislative initiatives and/or negotiations with the parties involved. The $4.7 million decrease in the liability compared to December 31, 2012 was due to a settlement of copyright fee levy litigation in Spain and foreign currency translation. Although it is reasonably possible that amounts may exceed the amount accrued by the Company, such amount, or range of possible loss, given the complexities of the legal issues in these matters, cannot be reasonably estimated by the Company at this time.
As of March 31, 2013, approximately $51.1 million of the $59.7 million accrued for the pending copyright fee issues was related to single function printer devices sold in Germany prior to December 31, 2007. For the period after 2007, the German copyright levy laws were revised and the Company has been making payments under this revised copyright levy scheme related to single function printers sold in Germany.
The VerwertungsGesellschaft Wort ("VG Wort"), a collection society representing certain copyright holders, instituted legal proceedings against Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") in July of 2004 relating to whether and to what extent copyright levies for photocopiers should be imposed in accordance with copyright laws implemented in Germany on single function printers. The Company is not a party to this lawsuit, although the Company and VG Wort entered into an agreement in October 2002 pursuant to which both VG Wort and the Company agreed to be bound by the outcome of the VG Wort/HP litigation. On December 6, 2007, the Bundesgerichtshof (the "German Federal Supreme Court") in the VG Wort litigation with HP issued a judgment that single function printer devices sold in Germany prior to December 31, 2007 are not subject to levies under the then existing law (German Federal Supreme Court, file reference I ZR 94/05). VG Wort filed an appeal with the Bundesverfassungsgericht (the "German Federal Constitutional Court") challenging the ruling that single function printers are not subject to levies. On September 21, 2010, the German Federal Constitutional Court published a decision holding that the German Federal Supreme Court erred by not considering referring questions on interpretation of German copyright law to the Court of Justice of the European Communities (“CJEU”) and therefore revoked the German Federal Supreme Court decision and remitted the matter to it. On July 21, 2011, the German Federal Supreme Court has stayed the proceedings and has submitted several questions regarding the interpretation of Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonization of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society to the CJEU for a
decision. The CJEU conducted an oral hearing in October 2012 and is expected to issue a decision approximately seven months thereafter, after which the matter will be remitted back to the German Federal Supreme Court.
In December, 2009, VG Wort instituted non-binding arbitration proceedings against the Company before the arbitration board of the Patent and Trademark Office in Munich relating to whether, and to what extent, copyright levies should be imposed on single function printers sold by the Company in Germany from 2001 to 2007. In its submissions to the Patent and Trademark Office in Munich the Company asserted that all claims for levies on single function printers sold by the Company in Germany should be dismissed. On February 22, 2011 the arbitration board issued a partial decision finding that the claims of VG Wort for the years 2001 through 2005 are time barred by the statute of limitations. On October 27, 2011, the arbitration board further found that the copyright levy claims for single function printers for the years 2006 and 2007 should be dismissed pursuant to the October 2002 agreement between the Company and VG Wort finding the parties agreed to be bound by the judgment of the German Federal Supreme Court of December 6, 2007 which dismissed VG Wort's copyright levy claims for single function printers. VG Wort has filed objections against these non-binding decisions and, on April 25, 2012, filed legal action against the Company in the Munich (Civil) Court of Appeals seeking to collect copyright levies for single function printers sold by the Company in Germany from 2001 to 2007. In contesting VG Wort’s filing, the Company is seeking the Munich (Civil) Court of Appeals’ determination that the Company does not owe copyright levies for single function printers sold by the Company in Germany for the contested period.
The Company believes the amounts accrued represent its best estimate of the copyright fee issues currently pending and these accruals are included in Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position.
Other Litigation
There are various other lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings involving the Company, that are currently pending. The Company has determined that although a potential loss is reasonably possible for certain matters, that for such matters in which it is possible to estimate a loss or range of loss, the estimate of the loss or estimate of the range of loss are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
17. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Standards Updates Recently Issued and Effective
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 amends the disclosure requirements on offsetting financial instruments, requiring entities to disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU 2011-11 does not change the existing offsetting eligibility criteria or the permitted balance sheet presentation for those instruments that meet the eligibility criteria. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and must be applied retrospectively. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2013-01”). ASU 2013-01 clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 should apply only to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions and is also effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or its disclosures.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). The amendments in ASU 2012-02 allow an entity the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test under the existing guidance. ASU 2012-02 also provides examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider when performing the qualitative assessment such as negative or declining cash flows and deterioration in industry, market or macroeconomic conditions. The amendments in ASU 2012-02 must be applied prospectively and are effective for the Company’s 2013 fiscal year. The Company anticipates that there will be no material impact to its financial statements related to the amendments in ASU 2012-02.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information in one location about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on net income if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety, such as pension-related amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to related footnote disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 were effective prospectively for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The additional disclosures required by ASU 2013-02 have been included in Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Accounting Standards Updates Recently Issued But Not Yet Effective
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, excluding certain obligations addressed within existing guidance. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 will be effective for the Company’s 2014 fiscal year and must be applied retrospectively to joint and several liability obligations that exist at the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the amendments in ASU 2013-04 but does not anticipate a material impact to its financial statements at this time.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment Upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). The amendments in ASU 2013-05 address the diversity in practice about when to release the cumulative translation adjustment related to a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 clarifies that if a group of assets or business is sold that doesn’t constitute the entire foreign entity (transactions occurring within a foreign entity) the cumulative translation adjustment should not be released until there is a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. However, transactions resulting in the sale of an investment in a foreign entity (loss of a controlling financial interest) will trigger the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into earnings under ASU 2013-05. The amendments in ASU 2013-05 must be applied prospectively and are effective for the Company’s 2014 fiscal year although early adoption of the amended guidance is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the amendments in ASU 2013-05 but does not anticipate a material impact to its financial statements at this time.
The FASB issued other guidance during 2013 that is not applicable to the Company’s current financial statements and disclosures and, therefore, is not discussed above.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 25, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share of Class A Common Stock. The dividend is payable June 14, 2013 to stockholders of record on May 31, 2013.
After the close of the markets on April 25, 2013, the Company entered into an ASR Agreement with a financial institution counterparty. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company will purchase $20 million of the outstanding shares of its Class A Common Stock from the financial institution counterparty. Under the ASR Agreement, the financial institution counterparty delivered to the Company on April 30, 2013, 0.6 million shares, equal to 85 percent of the shares that would be repurchased at the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on April 25, 2013. Upon delivery of these shares, the number of shares held in treasury increased from 32.0 million shares to 32.6 million shares. The final number of shares to be delivered to the Company by the financial institution counterparty under the ASR Agreement shall be adjusted based on a discount to the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during the term of the ASR Agreement. If the number of shares to be delivered to the Company is less than the initial delivery of shares by the financial institution counterparty, the Company may be required to remit shares or cash to the financial institution counterparty as a result of such adjustment. The Company controls the election to deliver either additional shares or
cash to the counterparty. The share repurchases are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2013. The payment of $20 million by the Company to the financial institution counterparty for the repurchase of shares occurred on April 30, 2013, and was funded from available U.S. cash equivalents and current marketable securities.
On April 30, 2013, subsequent to the date of the financial statements, the Company completed the sale of their inkjet technology and related assets pursuant to the terms of a Master Inkjet Sale Agreement (the “Master Agreement”). Pursuant to the Master Agreement, Funai agreed to pay $100 million in cash of which $95 million was paid to the Company on April 30, 2013 and $5 million will be paid 180 days after closing. Cash proceeds from the transaction are predominantly non-U.S. Due to the limited amount of time since the sale closed, the accounting for transaction has not been finalized. Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations and Divestitures, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of the Company’s inkjet technology and related assets.

Perceptive Software has two general forms of software agreements with its customers, perpetual licenses and subscription services. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Lexmark’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as disclosures regarding contingencies. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, product returns, doubtful accounts, inventories, stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, copyright fees, restructurings, pension and other postretirement benefits, contingencies and litigation, and fair values that are based on unobservable inputs significant to the overall measurement. Lexmark bases its estimates on historical experience, market conditions, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements.
Management believes that there have been no significant changes during 2013 to the items that were disclosed as critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Operations Overview
Key Messages
Lexmark is focused on driving long-term performance by strategically investing in technology, hardware, software, services and solutions to secure high usage and high value product installations and associated profitable supplies, software maintenance and service annuities in document-intensive industries and business processes in distributed environments.
• | The ISS strategy is primarily focused on capturing profitable supplies and service annuities generated from its managed print services, industry specific solutions and hardware sales of large and small workgroup devices. |
• | The Perceptive Software strategy is to deliver affordable, industry and process specific solutions through deep industry expertise and a broad ECM and BPM software platform, imbedding intelligent data capture and enterprise search capabilities, in a model that is easy to integrate, use, and support. |
While focusing on core strategic initiatives, Lexmark has taken actions to improve its cost and expense structure. As a result of the Company’s restructuring initiatives, significant changes have been implemented, from the consolidation and reduction of the manufacturing and support infrastructure and the increased use of shared service centers in low-cost countries, to the announced exit of the development and manufacture of the Company’s inkjet hardware.
The Company remains committed to its capital allocation framework of returning more than 50 percent of free cash flow (net cash flows provided by operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from sale of fixed assets) to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends while building and growing its solutions and software business through expansion and acquisitions.
Business Factors
For the first quarter of 2013, total Lexmark revenue was down 11% YTY, primarily due to the Company’s planned exit from inkjet technologies and the weak global demand environment. On April 2, 2013, subsequent to the date of the financial statements, Lexmark announced the sale of inkjet-related technology and assets for $100 million. The transaction closed later in the second quarter of 2013, and no material impact on the ramp-down of the Company’s inkjet exit revenue is expected due to the transaction. Operating income decreased 40% YTY primarily due to the decline in inkjet and laser supplies revenue, as well as by an increase in costs associated with acquisition-related adjustments, partially offset by reduced operating expenses due to the Company’s 2012 restructuring actions. The Company uses the term “inkjet exit” to include consumer and business inkjet hardware and supplies.
ISS
Lexmark continues its investments in ISS to broaden its line of large and small workgroup devices and solutions and service offerings, targeting the higher usage segments of the imaging market.
ISS continues to focus on capturing profitable supplies and service annuities generated from managed print services, industry specific solutions and hardware sales of large and small workgroup devices. Associated strategic initiatives include:
• | Expanding and strengthening the Company’s product line; |
• | Advancing and strengthening the Company’s industry solutions to maintain and grow the Company’s penetration in selected industries; |
• | Advancing and expanding the Company’s managed print services business; and |
• | Expanding the Company’s rate of participation in market opportunities and channels. |
Perceptive Software
Perceptive Software enhances Lexmark’s capabilities as a content and process management solutions provider, expands the Company’s market opportunity, and provides a core strategic component for Lexmark’s future. Perceptive Software’s strategy is to deliver affordable, industry and process specific solutions through deep industry expertise and an integrated software platform featuring ECM, BPM, DOM, intelligent data capture, enterprise search and process mining technologies that are easy to install, use and support. In keeping with this strategy, Lexmark acquired Pallas Athena in October of 2011, Brainware in February of 2012, ISYS and Nolij in March of 2012, Acuo in December of 2012, and Twistage and AccessVia in March of 2013. These acquisitions enhance Lexmark’s capabilities as a content and process management solutions provider, expand the Company’s market opportunity, and provide a core strategic component for Lexmark’s future. Lexmark’s software strategy is to deliver affordable, industry and process specific workflow enhancing solutions through deep industry expertise and a broad content and process management software platform, in a model that is easy to integrate, use, and support. Key software strategic initiatives include:
• | Advancing and growing the Company's content and process management solutions business internationally, |
• | Expanding and strengthening the Company’s content and process management software product line; and |
• | Expanding the Company’s rate of participation in content management, business process management and case management software market opportunities. |
Operating Results Summary
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Notes thereto. The following table summarizes the results of the Company’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | |
| 2013 | | | 2012 | |
(Dollars in millions) | Dollars | | % of Rev | | | Dollars | | % of Rev | |
Revenue | $ | 884.3 | | | 100.0 | % | | $ | 992.5 | | | 100.0 | % |
Gross profit | | 334.6 | | | 37.8 | | | | 381.4 | | | 38.4 | |
Operating expense | | 280.6 | | | 31.7 | | | | 292.0 | | | 29.4 | |
Operating income | | 54.0 | | | 6.1 | | | | 89.4 | | | 9.0 | |
Net earnings | | 34.8 | | | 3.9 | | | | 60.8 | | | 6.1 | |
For the first quarter of 2013, total revenue was $884.3 million, down 11% from 2012. Gross profit decreased 12%, Operating expense decreased 4% and Operating income decreased 40% when compared to the same period in 2012.
Net earnings for the first quarter of 2013 decreased 43% from the prior year primarily due to lower operating income offset partially by a lower effective tax rate. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2013 included $9.1 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges and project costs as well as $17.8 million of pre-tax acquisition-related
adjustments. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 included $10.0 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges and project costs as well as $9.7 million of pre-tax acquisition-related adjustments.
Revenue
Revenue declined YTY driven by the planned exit from inkjet technologies, lower laser supplies revenue and a global general weaker demand environment.
For the first quarter of 2013, consolidated revenue decreased 11% YTY, of which approximately 6% was due to the Company’s exit of inkjet technology and 1% was due to the negative impact of currency.
The following table provides a breakdown of the Company’s revenue by segment:
| Three Months Ended March 31 |
(Dollars in millions) | 2013 | | 2012 | | % Change |
ISS | $ | 840.1 | | $ | 963.0 | | (12.8 | ) % |
Perceptive Software | | 44.2 | | | 29.5 | | 49.8 | |
Total revenue | $ | 884.3 | | $ | 992.5 | | (10.9 | ) % |
ISS
During the first quarter of 2013, ISS revenue decreased 13% compared to prior year, of which approximately 6% was due to the Company’s exit of inkjet technology and 1% was due to the negative impact of currency. Hardware revenue declined 9% YTY and laser hardware revenue declined 5% YTY. Large workgroup laser hardware revenue, which represented about 83% of total hardware revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, was down 2% YTY reflecting a 4% decline in units, partially offset by a 2% increase in average unit revenue (“AUR”). Small workgroup laser hardware revenue, which for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 represented 16% of total hardware revenue, declined 19% YTY driven by an 18% decline in units. Small workgroup AUR declined 1%. Inkjet exit hardware revenue, which for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 represented 1% of total hardware revenue, declined 78% YTY as the Company exits inkjet technology. Supplies revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was down 16% compared to the same period in 2012 with laser supplies revenue declining 11% YTY. Inkjet exit supplies revenue declined 31% YTY due to ongoing and expected declines in the inkjet install base as the Company exits inkjet technology. The Company uses the term “large workgroup” to include departmental, large workgroup, and medium workgroup lasers, dot matrix printers and options. The term “small workgroup” includes small workgroup and personal lasers.
Perceptive Software
Reductions in revenue result from business combination accounting rules when deferred revenue balances assumed as part of acquisitions are adjusted down to fair value. Fair value approximates the cost of fulfilling the service obligation, plus a reasonable profit margin. Subsequent to acquisitions, the Company analyzes the amount of amortized revenue that would have been recognized had the acquired company remained independent and had the deferred revenue balances not been adjusted to fair value.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, revenue for Perceptive Software increased 50% compared to the same period in 2012. During the quarter, Perceptive Software saw strong placements of content and intelligent capture solutions. Excluding the impact of acquisition-related adjustments, revenue for Perceptive Software for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased 54% YTY. The 2013 and 2012 financial results for the Perceptive Software reportable segment include only the activity occurring after the dates of acquisitions.
See “Acquisition-related Adjustments” section that follows for further discussion.
Revenue by geography
The following table provides a breakdown of the Company’s revenue by geography:
| Three Months Ended March 31 |
(Dollars in millions) | 2013 | | 2012 | | % Change |
United States | $ | 375.4 | | $ | 423.0 | | (11.3 | ) % |
Europe, the Middle East & Africa ("EMEA") | | 335.1 | | | 368.1 | | (9.0 | ) |
Other International | | 173.8 | | | 201.4 | | (13.7 | ) |
Total revenue | $ | 884.3 | | $ | 992.5 | | (10.9 | ) % |
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the decline in revenues compared to the same period in 2012, for all regions, principally reflects the impact of the Company’s planned exit from inkjet technologies and the weakened global demand environment. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, currency exchange rates had a 1%, YTY unfavorable impact on Total revenue.
Gross Profit
The following table provides gross profit information:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | |
(Dollars in millions) | 2013 | | | 2012 | | | Change |
Gross profit dollars | $ | 334.6 | | | $ | 381.4 | | | (12.3 | ) % |
% of revenue | | 37.8 | % | | | 38.4 | % | | -0.6 pts | |
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, consolidated gross profit decreased 12% while gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased only slightly by 0.6 percentage points compared to the same period in 2012. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included $7.4 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges and project costs as well as $10.6 million of pre-tax acquisition-related adjustments. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included $4.3 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges and project costs as well as $5.7 million of pre-tax acquisition-related adjustments.
Gross profit margin versus the same period in 2012 was impacted by a 2.0 percentage point YTY increase due to a favorable mix shift driven by lower inkjet hardware volume and higher license and subscriptions revenue, offset by a 1.6 percentage point decrease YTY due to unfavorable product margins, as well as by a 1.0 percentage point decrease due to higher YTY cost of restructuring and acquisition-related activities.
See “Restructuring and Related Charges and Project Costs” and “Acquisition-related Adjustments” sections that follow for further discussion.
Operating Expense
The following table presents information regarding the Company’s operating expenses during the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | |
| 2013 | | | 2012 | |
(Dollars in millions) | Dollars | | % of Rev | | | Dollars | | % of Rev | |
Research and development | $ | 81.6 | | 9.2 | % | | $ | 96.7 | | 9.7 | % |
Selling, general & administrative | | 203.0 | | 23.0 | | | | 190.6 | | 19.2 | |
Restructuring and related charges (reversals) | | (4.0 | ) | (0.5 | ) | | | 4.7 | | 0.5 | |
Total operating expense | $ | 280.6 | | 31.7 | % | | $ | 292.0 | | 29.4 | % |
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, Total operating expense decreased 4% compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower research and development expenses in the ISS segment driven by the Company’s 2012 restructuring actions and solid overall expense management, partially offset by increased investment in Perceptive Software.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased YTY due to increases in the Perceptive Software segment. The increase was driven by recent acquisitions as well as
investments made to grow Perceptive Software. The increase in Perceptive Software segment SG&A was partially offset by lower SG&A spending in the ISS segment, principally due to the Company’s 2012 restructuring actions.
See discussion below of restructuring and related charges and project costs and acquisition-related adjustments included in the Company’s operating expenses for the periods presented in the table above.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred $1.7 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges and project costs due to the Company’s restructuring plans. Of that amount, $5.7 million is included in Selling, general and administrative while $(4.0) million is included in Restructuring and related (reversals) charges on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Additionally, the Company incurred $7.2 million of pre-tax costs associated with its recent acquisitions, of which $7.0 million is included in Selling, general, and administrative and $0.2 million is included in Research and development on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $5.7 million of pre-tax restructuring and related charges and project costs due to the Company’s restructuring plans. Of that amount, $1.0 million is included in Selling, general and administrative while $4.7 million is included in Restructuring and related (reversals) charges on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Additionally, the Company incurred $4.0 million of pre-tax costs associated with its recent acquisitions, of which $3.9 million is included in Selling, general, and administrative and $0.1 million is included in Research and development on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
See “Restructuring and Related Charges and Project Costs” and “Acquisition-related Adjustments” sections that follow for further discussion.
Operating Income (Loss)
The following table provides operating income by segment:
| Three Months Ended March 31 |
(Dollars in millions) | 2013 | | 2012 | | Change |
ISS | $ | 156.5 | | | $ | 178.0 | | | (12.1 | )% |
% of segment revenue | | 18.6 | % | | | 18.5 | % | | 0.1 | pts |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Perceptive Software | | (22.8 | ) | | | (15.9 | ) | | (43.4 | )% |
% of segment revenue | | (51.6 | )% | | | (53.9 | )% | | 2.3 | pts |
| | | | | | | | | | |
All other | | (79.7 | ) | | | (72.7 | ) | | (9.6 | )% |
Total operating income (loss) | $ | 54.0 | | | $ | 89.4 | | | (39.6 | )% |
% of total revenue | | 6.1 | % | | | 9.0 | % | | -2.9 | pts |
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the decrease in consolidated operating income from the same period in 2012 reflected lower operating income in both the ISS and Perceptive Software segments and in All other. The lower ISS operating income is driven by the decline in inkjet supplies as the Company exits the Inkjet technology as well as by lower laser supplies revenue, partially offset by reduced operating expenses due to the Company’s 2012 restructuring actions. The increase in operating loss for Perceptive Software reflects greater operating expense in both research and development and SG&A, as acquisitions and investments are made to expand software and solutions offerings, and sales and marketing capabilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred total pre-tax restructuring-related charges and project costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans of $6.1 million in ISS and $3.0 million in All other as well as pre-tax acquisition-related items of $15.1 million primarily in the Perceptive Software and $2.7 million primarily in All other.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred total pre-tax restructuring-related charges and project costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans of $9.6 million in ISS and $0.4 million in All other as well
as pre-tax acquisition-related items of $8.1 million primarily in the Perceptive Software and $1.6 million in All other.
See “Restructuring and Related Charges and Project Costs” and “Acquisition-related Adjustments” sections that follow for further discussion.
Interest and Other
The following table provides interest and other information: | Three Months Ended March 31 |
(Dollars in millions) | 2013 | | 2012 |
Interest expense (income), net | $ | 9.5 | | $ | 7.1 |
Other expense (income), net | | 1.0 | | | 0.2 |
Loss on extinguishment of debt | | 3.3 | | | - |
Total interest and other expense (income), net | $ | 13.8 | | $ | 7.3 |
During the first quarter of 2013, total interest and other expense (income), net, was an expense of $13.8 million, an 89% increase compared to expense of $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. The loss of $3.3 million on extinguishment of debt is comprised of $3.2 million of premium paid upon repayment of the Company’s 2013 senior notes and $0.1 million related to the write-off of related debt issuance costs. The YTY increase in interest expense is primarily due to the addition of $400 million in debt outstanding related to the Company’s public debt offering in March 2013.
Provision for Income Taxes and Related Matters
The Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was an expense of $5.4 million or an effective tax rate of 13.5%, compared to an expense of $21.3 million or an effective tax rate of 26.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The difference in these rates (excluding discrete items) is primarily due to a shift in the expected geographic distribution of earnings for 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company decreased income tax expense by $5.2 million in recognition of several discrete items. Of this amount, $6.0 million is related to the reenactment of the research and experimentation credit for the year 2012. The remaining $0.8 million increase in tax expense is primarily related to years prior to 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company increased income tax expense by $1.0 million in recognition of several discrete items, all of which were adjustments to amounts accrued for tax years prior to 2012.
Net Earnings and Earnings per Share
The following table summarizes net earnings and basic and diluted net earnings per share:
| Three Months Ended March 31 |
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts) | 2013 | | 2012 |
Net earnings | $ | 34.8 | | $ | 60.8 |
| | | | | |
Basic earnings per share | $ | 0.55 | | $ | 0.85 |
Diluted earnings per share | $ | 0.54 | | $ | 0.84 |
Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased 43% from the prior year primarily due to decreased operating income offset partially by a lower effective tax rate.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the YTY decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share was primarily due to decreased earnings partially offset by an 11% reduction in shares outstanding.
RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES AND PROJECT COSTS
Summary of Restructuring Impacts
The Company’s 2013 financial results are impacted by its restructuring plans and related projects. Project costs consist of additional charges related to the execution of the restructuring plans. These project costs are incremental to the Company’s normal operating charges and are expensed as incurred, and include such items as compensation costs for overlap staffing, travel expenses, consulting costs and training costs.
As part of Lexmark’s ongoing strategy to increase the focus of its talent and resources on higher usage business platforms, the Company announced restructuring actions (the “2012 Restructuring Actions”) on January 31 and August 28, 2012. These actions better align the Company’s sales, marketing and development resources, and align and reduce its support structure consistent with its focus on business customers. The 2012 Restructuring Actions include exiting the development and manufacturing of the Company’s inkjet technology, with reductions primarily in the areas of inkjet-related manufacturing, research and development, supply chain, marketing and sales as well as other support functions. The Company will continue to provide service, support and aftermarket supplies for its inkjet installed base.
In April 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain inkjet technology and related assets. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for more information.
The 2012 Restructuring Actions are expected to impact about 1,525 positions worldwide, including 300 manufacturing positions. The 2012 Restructuring Actions will result in total pre-tax charges, including project costs, of approximately $192 million with $135.8 million incurred to date, approximately $30.9 million to be incurred in 2013 and the remaining $25.3 million to be incurred in 2014 and 2015. The Company expects the total cash costs of the 2012 Restructuring Actions to be approximately $93 million with $64.3 million incurred to date, $25.7 million impacting the remainder of 2013, and the remaining $3 million impacting 2014 and 2015. The anticipated timing of cash outlays for the 2012 Restructuring Actions is $27 million for the remainder of 2013 and $12 million in 2014 and 2015, with cash outlays of approximately $38 million in 2012 and $16 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Lexmark expects the 2012 Restructuring Actions to generate savings of approximately $113 million in both 2013 and 2014, with ongoing annual savings beginning in 2015 of approximately $123 million, of which approximately $85 million will be cash savings. These ongoing savings should be split approximately 65% to operating expense and 35% to cost of revenue. The Company expects these actions to be complete by the end of 2015.
Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s Other Restructuring Actions. The Other Restructuring Actions are substantially completed and any remaining charges to be incurred are expected to be immaterial.
Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a rollforward of the liability incurred for the 2012 Restructuring Actions and the Other Restructuring Actions.

The Company incurred accelerated depreciation charges of $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in Restructuring-related costs and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Excess components and other inventory-related charges of $5.0 million were incurred in Restructuring
-related costs on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Total employee termination benefit charges (reversals) of $(4.0) million are included in Restructuring and related (reversals) charges, and restructuring-related project costs of $0.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, are included in Restructuring-related costs and Selling, general and administrative on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The $(4.0) million reversal for employee termination benefit charges is due to a revision in assumptions regarding reductions in workforce, driven by the inclusion of one of the Company’s subsidiaries in the sale of inkjet technology and related assets that closed in the second quarter of 2013.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred restructuring and related charges and project costs related to the 2012 Restructuring Actions of $6.1 million in ISS and $3.0 million in All other. The Company incurred no restructuring or related charges related to the Other Restructuring Actions in the first quarter of 2013.
Impact to 2012 Financial Results
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred charges, including project costs, of $10.0 million for its restructuring plans as follows:

Related to the 2012 Restructuring Actions and Other Restructuring Actions, the Company incurred accelerated depreciation charges of $4.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in Restructuring-related costs and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Total employee termination benefit charges of $4.7 million are included in Restructuring and related (reversals) charges, and restructuring-related project costs of $0.8 million are included in Selling, general and administrative on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred restructuring and related charges and project costs related to the 2012 Restructuring Actions of $9.1 million in ISS. The Company incurred restructuring and related charges and project costs related to Other Restructuring Actions of $0.5 million in ISS and $0.4 million in All other.
ACQUISITION-RELATED ADJUSTMENTS
In connection with acquisitions, Lexmark incurs costs and adjustments (referred to as “acquisition-related adjustments”) that affect the Company’s financial results. These acquisition-related adjustments result from business combination accounting rules as well as expenses that would otherwise have not been incurred by the Company if acquisitions had not taken place.
Pre-tax acquisition-related adjustments affected the Company’s financial results as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31 |
(Dollars in Millions) | 2013 | | 2012 |
Reduction in revenue | $ | 2.1 | | $ | 0.4 |
Amortization of intangible assets | | 13.0 | | | 7.7 |
Acquisition and integration costs | | 2.7 | | | 1.6 |
Total acquisition-related adjustments | $ | 17.8 | | $ | 9.7 |
Reductions in revenue result from business combination accounting rules when deferred revenue balances for service contracts assumed as part of acquisitions are adjusted down to fair value. Fair value approximates the cost of fulfilling the service obligation, plus a reasonable profit margin. Subsequent to acquisitions, the Company analyzes
the amount of amortized revenue that would have been recognized had the acquired company remained independent and had the deferred revenue balances not been adjusted to fair value. The $2.1 million and $0.4 million downward adjustments to revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, are reflected in revenue presented on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The Company expects pre-tax reductions in revenue of approximately $10 million for the remainder of 2013. For full year 2014, the Company expects pre-tax reductions in revenue of approximately $1 million.
Due to business combination accounting rules, intangible assets are recognized as a result of acquisitions which were not previously presented on the balance sheet of the acquired company. These intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology, customer relationships, trade names, in-process R&D and non-compete agreements. Subsequent to the acquisition date, some of these intangible assets begin amortizing and represent an expense that would not have been recorded had the acquired company remained independent. The Company incurred the following on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings for the amortization of intangible assets.
Amortization of intangible assets:
| Three Months Ended March 31 |
(Dollars in Millions) | 2013 | | 2012 |
Recorded in cost of product revenue | $ | 8.5 | | $ | 5.3 |
Recorded in Research and development | | 0.2 | | | 0.1 |
Recorded in Selling, general and administrative | | 4.3 | | | 2.3 |
Total amortization of intangible assets | $ | 13.0 | | $ | 7.7 |
The Company expects pre-tax charges for the amortization of intangible assets of approximately $40 million for the remainder of 2013 with approximately $13 million expected in the second quarter of 2013. For full year 2014, the Company expects charges for the amortization of intangible assets of approximately $50 million.
In connection with its acquisitions, the Company incurs acquisition and integration expenses that would not have been incurred otherwise. The acquisition costs include items such as investment banking fees, legal and accounting fees, and costs of retention bonus programs for the senior management of the acquired company. Integration costs may consist of information technology expenses including certain costs for software and systems to be implemented in acquired companies, consulting costs and travel expenses as well as non-cash charges related to the abandonment of assets under construction by the Company that are determined to be duplicative of assets of the acquired company. The costs are expensed as incurred, and can vary substantially in size from one period to the next.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company incurred $2.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in Selling, general and administrative on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings for acquisition and integration costs. The Company expects pre-tax adjustments for acquisition and integration expenses of approximately $6 million for the remainder of 2013 and approximately $2 million for 2014.
Reductions in revenue and amortization of intangible assets were recognized primarily in the Perceptive Software reportable segment. Acquisition and integration costs were recognized primarily in All other.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Lexmark’s financial position remains strong at March 31, 2013, with working capital of $881.8 million compared to $476.6 million at December 31, 2012. The $405.2 million increase in working capital accounts was primarily due to the $350.0 million decrease in Current portion of long-term debt driven by the repayment of the 5.90% senior notes that were due on June 1, 2013. These were paid by utilizing a portion of the net proceeds of $396.8 received from the issuance of long-term debt in the first quarter. Additionally, the $61.9 million decrease in Accrued liabilities contributed to the increase in working capital driven partly by payments for income taxes, restructuring, and annual bonuses.
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had senior note debt of $699.6 million and $649.6 million, respectively. The Company had no amounts outstanding under its U.S. trade receivables financing program or its revolving credit facility at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
The debt to total capital ratio was stable at 35% at March 31, 2013 and 34% at December 31, 2012. The debt to total capital ratio is calculated by dividing the Company’s outstanding debt by the sum of its outstanding debt and total stockholders’ equity.
The following table summarizes the results of the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | |
(Dollars in millions) | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Net cash flow provided by (used for): | | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 37.9 | | $ | 92.1 | |
Investing activities | | (108.4 | ) | | (218.8 | ) |
Financing activities | | 7.5 | | | (44.6 | ) |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | | 0.3 | | | 1.4 | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (62.7 | ) | $ | (169.9 | ) |
The Company’s primary source of liquidity has been cash generated by operations, which generally has been sufficient to allow the Company to fund its working capital needs and finance its capital expenditures and acquisitions. Refer to the Financing activities section which follows for information regarding the Company’s debt activity during the first quarter of 2013. Management believes that cash provided by operations will be sufficient on a worldwide basis to meet operating and capital needs as well as the funding of expected dividends and share repurchases for the next twelve months. However, in the event that cash from operations is not sufficient, the Company has substantial cash and cash equivalents and current marketable securities balances and other potential sources of liquidity through utilization of its trade receivables financing program and revolving credit facility or access to the private and public debt markets. The Company may choose to use these sources of liquidity from time to time, including during 2013, to fund strategic acquisitions, dividends, and/or share repurchases.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company held $880.0 million in Cash and cash equivalents and current Marketable securities. The Company’s ability to fund operations from these balances could be limited by the liquidity in the market as well as possible tax implications of moving proceeds across jurisdictions. Of this amount, approximately $845.5 million of Cash and cash equivalents and current Marketable securities were held by foreign subsidiaries. The Company utilizes a variety of financing strategies with the objective of having its worldwide cash available in the locations where it is needed. However, if amounts held by foreign subsidiaries were needed to fund operations in the U.S., the Company could be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate a large portion of these funds. The Company’s intent is to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of low tax rate foreign subsidiaries and current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate earnings to fund operations in the U.S.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company held $905.8 million in Cash and cash equivalents and current Marketable securities. Of this amount, approximately $869.8 million of Cash and cash equivalents and current Marketable securities were held by foreign subsidiaries.
A discussion of the Company’s additional sources of liquidity is included in the Financing activities section to follow.
Operating activities
The amount of cash flow from operations the Company generated during the first quarter of 2013, decreased when compared to the first quarter of 2012. The $54.2 million decrease in cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, was driven by the following factors.
The changes in Accrued liabilities and Other assets and liabilities, collectively, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, resulted in an unfavorable YTY impact of $44.0 million. The largest factors behind the YTY
movement included cash paid for income taxes, and early settlement of the 2013 senior notes. Cash paid for income taxes in the first quarter of 2013 included an $8.5 million U.S. federal extension payment related to the 2012 tax year. Conversely, in the first quarter of 2012, there was a $10.0 million U.S. federal tax refund received. Cash paid for the early settlement of the 2013 senior notes included interest and premium in the first quarter of 2013 of $10.0 million with no similar event in the first quarter of 2012.
Changes in Accounts payable balances for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, contributed to the unfavorable YTY impact by $26.0 million. Accounts payable decreased $42.9 million during the first quarter of 2013 and decreased $16.9 million during the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in the first quarter of 2013 was driven by decreased spending. The decrease in the first quarter of 2012 was driven by decreased spending, related mostly to production, coupled with a longer payment cycle.
Net earnings decreased $26.0 million for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012.
The reduction in Inventories balances was $5.9 million less in the first quarter of 2013 compared to that of 2012. Inventories decreased $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2013 and $6.9 million during the first quarter of 2012.
The activities above were partially offset by the following factors.
Trade receivables balances for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, reduced the unfavorable YTY impact of the factors above by $39.8 million, excluding receivables recognized from business combinations. Trade receivables decreased $31.4 million during the first quarter of 2013 and increased $8.4 million during the first quarter of 2012. This fluctuation is driven largely by the decrease in revenue.
Cash conversion days
| Mar-13 | | Dec-12 | | Mar-12 | | Dec-11 |
Days of sales outstanding | 50 | | 49 | | 43 | | 39 |
Days of inventory | 45 | | 39 | | 48 | | 45 |
Days of payables | 77 | | 72 | | 70 | | 66 |
Cash conversion days | 18 | | 16 | | 22 | | 18 |
Cash conversion days represent the number of days that elapse between the day the Company pays for materials and the day it collects cash from its customers. Cash conversion days are equal to the days of sales outstanding plus days of inventory less days of payables.
The days of sales outstanding are calculated using the period-end Trade receivables balance, net of allowances, and the average daily revenue for the quarter.
The days of inventory are calculated using the period-end net Inventories balance and the average daily cost of revenue for the quarter.
The days of payables are calculated using the period-end Accounts payable balance and the average daily cost of revenue for the quarter.
Please note that cash conversion days presented above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other registrants. The cash conversion days in the table above may not foot due to rounding.
Other Notable Operating Activities
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued approximately $59.7 million and $64.4 million, respectively, for pending copyright fee issues, including litigation proceedings, local legislative initiatives and/or negotiations with the parties involved. These accruals are included in Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position. Refer to Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information. The payment(s) of these fees could have a material impact on the Company’s future operating cash flows.
Investing activities
The $110.4 million decrease in net cash flows used for investing activities for the first quarter of 2013, compared to the first quarter of 2012, was driven by the $176.6 million YTY net decrease in cash flows used for business acquisitions, offset partially by the net increase of $71.3 million in marketable securities investments.
The Company’s business acquisitions, marketable securities and capital expenditures are discussed below.
Business acquisitions
In the three months ending March 31, 2013, cash flow used to acquire AccessVia and Twistage of $28.1 million was less than the first quarter 2012 acquisitions of $204.7 million for Brainware, ISYS and Nolij. AccessVia is an industry-leading paper and digital signage solution for the retail marketplace, that when combined with Lexmark’s MPS and expertise in delivering print and document process solutions to the retail market, will enable customers to quickly design and produce in-store signage for better and more timely merchandising in a highly distributed store environment. Twistage is an industry-leading pure cloud platform for managing video, audio, and image content, that when combined with Lexmark, will enable customers to capture, manage, and access all of their content, including rich media content assets, within the context of their business processes and enterprise applications.
Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding business combinations.
Marketable securities
The Company increased its marketable securities investments by $37.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to a decrease of $34.1 million in its marketable securities investments in the first quarter of 2012. The Company was able to invest more in marketable securities in 2013 due to the lower amount of cash paid for businesses acquired discussed above, as well as first quarter debt activities discussed in financing activities to follow.
The Company’s investments in marketable securities are classified and accounted for as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s marketable securities portfolio consisted of asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, preferred and municipal debt securities, U.S. government and agency debt securities, international government securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. The Company’s auction rate securities, valued at $6.5 million and $6.3 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are reported in the noncurrent assets section of the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position.
The marketable securities portfolio held by the Company contains market risk (including interest rate risk) and credit risk. These risks are managed through the Company’s investment policy and investment management contracts with professional asset managers, which require sector diversification, limitations on maturity and duration, minimum credit quality and other criteria. The Company also maintains adequate issuer diversification through strict issuer limits except for securities issued or backed by the U.S. government or its agencies. The Company’s ability to access the portfolio to fund operations could be limited by the liquidity in the market as well as possible tax implications of moving proceeds across jurisdictions.
The Company assesses its marketable securities for other-than-temporary declines in value in accordance with the model provided under the FASB’s guidance. There were no major developments in the first quarter of 2013 or the first quarter of 2012 with respect to OTTI of the Company’s marketable securities. Specifically regarding the Company’s auction rate securities, the most illiquid securities in the portfolio, no credit losses have been incurred. Because of the Company’s liquidity position, it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the auction rate securities until liquidity in the market or optional issuer redemption occurs. The Company could also hold the securities to maturity if it chooses. Additionally, if Lexmark required capital, the Company has available liquidity through its trade receivables facility and revolving credit facility. Given these circumstances, the Company would only have to recognize OTTI on its auction rate securities if the present value of the expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost of the individual security.
Level 3 fair value measurements are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall valuation. Level 3 measurements were 1.8% of the Company’s total available-for-sale marketable securities portfolio at March 31, 2013 compared to 2.1% at December 31, 2012.
Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements and Level 3 activity. Refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding marketable securities.
Capital expenditures
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company spent $43.0 million and $48.2 million, respectively, on capital expenditures. The capital expenditures for 2013 principally related to infrastructure support and new product development. The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $185 million for full year 2013, compared to full year 2012 capital expenditures of $162.2 million. Capital expenditures for 2013 will be attributable mostly to infrastructure support and new product development and are expected to be funded through cash from operations; however, if necessary, the Company may use existing cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from sales of marketable securities or additional sources of liquidity as discussed below.
Financing activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2013 and cash flows used for financing activities were $44.6 million for the first quarter of 2012. The YTY fluctuation was primarily due to the net source of funds of $51.7 for the changes in the Company’s outstanding debt. Additional information regarding the Company’s senior note debt, intra-period financing activities and certain historical financing activities of the Company is included in the sections below.
Senior note debt
In March 2013, the Company completed a public debt offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior unsecured notes. The seven-year notes with an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million and 5.125% coupon were priced at 99.998% to have an effective yield to maturity of 5.125% and will mature March 15, 2020 (referred to as the “2020 senior notes”). The notes will rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The ten-year notes, from the May 2008 public debt offering, with an aggregate principal amount of $300 million and 6.65% coupon were priced at 99.73% to have an effective yield to maturity of 6.687% and will mature June 1, 2018 (referred to as the “2018 senior notes”). At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of long-term debt was $699.6 million (net of unamortized discount of $0.4 million).
The 2020 senior notes will pay interest on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2013. The 2018 senior notes pay interest on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The interest rate payable on the notes of each series will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services downgrades the debt rating assigned to the notes to a level below investment grade, or subsequently upgrades the ratings.
The senior notes contain typical restrictions on liens, sale leaseback transactions, mergers and sales of assets. There are no sinking fund requirements on the senior notes and they may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Company, at a redemption price as described in the related indenture agreements, as supplemented and amended, in whole or in part. If a “change of control triggering event” as defined below occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes in cash from the holders at a price equal to 101% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. A “change of control triggering event” is defined as the occurrence of both a change of control and a downgrade in the debt rating assigned to the notes to a level below investment grade.
In March 2013, the Company repaid its $350.0 million principal amount of 5.90% senior notes that were due on June 1, 2013 (referred to as the “2013 senior notes”). A loss of $3.3 million was recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings, related to $3.2 million of premium paid upon repayment and $0.1 million related to the write-off of related debt issuance costs.
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2020 senior notes offering to extinguish the 2013 senior notes and intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund share repurchases, fund dividends, finance acquisitions, finance capital expenditures and operating expenses and invest in any subsidiaries.
Intra-period financing activities
The Company used its trade receivables facility, bank overdrafts, and other financing sources to supplement daily cash needs of the Company and its subsidiaries in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012. Such borrowings were repaid in relatively short periods of time and were not material to the Company’s overall liquidity.
Share repurchases and dividend payments
The Company’s capital return framework is to return, on average, more than 50 percent of free cash flow to its shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 0.9 million shares at a cost of approximately $21 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares at a cost of $30 million. As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $230 million of share repurchase authority remaining. This repurchase authority allows the Company, at management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase its stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon market price and other factors.
Refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of the accounting for the ASR Agreement. Refer to Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information regarding the ASR Agreement entered into subsequent to the date of the financial statements.
On February 21, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per share. The cash dividend was paid on March 15, 2013, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 4, 2013. Future declarations of quarterly dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.
Refer to Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information regarding dividend activity that occurred subsequent to the date of the financial statements.
Additional Sources of Liquidity
The Company has additional liquidity available through its trade receivables facility and revolving credit facility. These sources can be accessed domestically if the Company is unable to satisfy its cash needs in the United States with cash flows provided by operations and existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Trade receivables facility
In the U.S., the Company transfers a majority of its receivables to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lexmark Receivables Corporation (“LRC”), which then may transfer the receivables on a limited recourse basis to an unrelated third party. The financial results of LRC are included in the Company’s consolidated financial results since it is a wholly owned subsidiary. LRC is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who, in a liquidation of LRC, would be entitled to be satisfied out of LRC’s assets prior to any value in LRC becoming available for equity claims of the Company. The Company accounts for transfers of receivables from LRC to the unrelated third party as a secured borrowing with the pledge of its receivables as collateral since LRC has the ability to repurchase the receivables interests at a determinable price.
In September 2012, the agreement was amended by extending the term of the facility to September 27, 2013. The maximum capital availability under the facility remains at $125 million under the amended agreement. There were no secured borrowings outstanding under the trade receivables facility at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
This facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as specific provisions related to the quality of the accounts receivables transferred. Receivables transferred to the unrelated third party may not include amounts over 90 days past due or concentrations over certain limits with any one customer. The facility also
contains customary cash control triggering events which, if triggered, could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and/or its ability to obtain secured borrowings.
Revolving credit facility
Effective January 18, 2012, Lexmark entered into a $350 million 5-year senior, unsecured, multicurrency revolving credit facility that includes the availability of swingline loans and multicurrency letters of credit. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s $300 million 3-year Multicurrency Revolving Credit Agreement entered into on August 17, 2009.
The new credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including those relating to a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 and a maximum leverage ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 as defined in the agreement. The new credit facility also limits, among other things, the Company’s indebtedness, liens and fundamental changes to its structure and business.
Additional information related to the 2012 revolving credit facility can be found in the Form 8-K report that was filed with the SEC by the Company on January 23, 2012.
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
Credit ratings and other information
The Company’s credit ratings by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. are BBB- and Baa3, respectively. The ratings remain investment grade.
The Company’s credit rating can be influenced by a number of factors, including overall economic conditions, demand for the Company’s products and services and ability to generate sufficient cash flow to service the Company’s debt. A downgrade in the Company’s credit rating to non-investment grade would decrease the maximum availability under its trade receivables facility, potentially increase the cost of borrowing under the revolving credit facility and increase the coupon payments on the Company’s public debt, and likely have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to obtain access to new financings in the future. The Company does not have any rating downgrade triggers that accelerate the maturity dates of its revolving credit facility or public debt.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its debt agreements at March 31, 2013. The Company believes that it is reasonably likely that it will continue to be in compliance with such covenants in the near future.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 for a description of recent accounting pronouncements which is incorporated herein by reference. There are no known material changes and trends nor any recognized future impact of new accounting guidance beyond the disclosures provided in Note 17.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk inherent in the Company’s financial instruments and positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rates
At March 31, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s senior notes was estimated at $741.4 million based on the prices the bonds have recently traded in the market as well as the overall market conditions on the date of valuation, stated coupon rates, the number of coupon payments each year and the maturity dates. The fair value of the senior notes exceeded the carrying value as recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position at March 31, 2013 by approximately $41.8 million. Market risk is estimated as the potential change in fair value resulting
from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates and amounts to approximately $17.3 million at March 31, 2013.
See Note 2 in Item 1 and the section titled “FINANCIAL CONDITION - Investing activities:” in Item 2 of this report for a discussion of the Company’s auction rate securities portfolio, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company or the respective foreign currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries. The primary currencies to which the Company was exposed on a transaction basis as of the end of the first quarter include the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Philippine peso, Mexican peso, Swiss franc, Australian dollar and Swedish krona. The Company primarily hedges its transaction foreign exchange exposures with foreign currency forward contracts with maturity dates of approximately three months or less. The potential loss in fair value at March 31, 2013 for such contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all foreign currency exchange rates is approximately $11.8 million. This loss would be mitigated by corresponding gains on the underlying exposures.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, regardless of how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. These inherent limitations include the following:
| • | Judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. |
| • | Controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override. |
| • | The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. |
| • | Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. |
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
