INDEX
Unless otherwise indicated, references to “JohnsonDiversey,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” in this quarterly report refer to JohnsonDiversey, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
As more fully described in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements, on October 7, 2009, we, JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc., our parent company (“Holdings”), and Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”) entered into a series of agreements principally designed to recapitalize the Company and Holdings. These agreements, which are described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2009, include: (1) an Investment and Recapitalization Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) pursuant to which (a) the current common equity ownership interests of Holdings held by Holdco will be reclassified as new shares of class A common stock of Holdings and (b) Holdings will issue shares of its new class A common stock to CDR Jaguar Investor Company, LLC (“CD&R Investor”), a limited liability company owned by a private investment fund managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (“CD&R”), and CDR F&F Jaguar Investor, LLC, an affiliate of CD&R Investor (together with CD&R Investor, the “CD&R Investor Parties”) and to SNW Co., Inc. (“SNW”), a wholly owned subsidiary of S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. (“SCJ”), for cash consideration of $477 million and $9.9 million, respectively; and (2) a Redemption Agreement pursuant to which Holdings or an affiliate will purchase all of the common equity ownership interests of Holdings currently held by parties affiliated with Unilever N.V. (“Unilever”) in exchange for (a) $158 million in cash, (b) the settlement of certain amounts owing by Unilever to us and Holdings and owing to Unilever by Holdings and Holdco, (c) a promissory note from Holdings in the initial aggregate principal amount of $250 million, and (d) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase shares of Holdings’ new class A common stock.
The Redemption Agreement also provides that, effective as of closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement and the Redemption Agreement (the “Closing”), the rights and obligations of Holdings, Marga and their respective affiliates under (a) the Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2001 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Holdings, the Company and an affiliate of Unilever, other than certain tax and environmental indemnification rights and obligations, will be terminated, (b) the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2008 (the “Current Stockholders Agreement”), by and among Holdings, Holdco and an affiliate of Unilever, including Unilever’s put rights discussed in Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements but excluding certain confidentiality obligations, will be terminated, and (c) certain provisions of the Umbrella Agreement in Respect of Professional Products, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Umbrella Agreement”), by and among Unilever, an affiliate of Unilever and the Company, relating to the settlement of certain working capital payables will be deemed satisfied and terminated.
At the Closing, Holdings’ ownership, assuming the exercise of the Warrant, will be as follows: Holdco, 49.1%; the CD&R Investor Parties, 45.9%; SNW, 1.0%; and Unilever, 4.0%. Among other conditions, the Closing is subject to the successful refinancing of the outstanding debt of Holdings and its subsidiaries, including us, on terms acceptable to each of CD&R Investor, Holdco and Holdings. We refer to the transactions contemplated by the preceding agreements and certain ancillary agreements as the “Transactions.”
In addition to various agreements among the parties, which are intended to direct governance and other rights, the Company expects to enter into the following agreements at Closing: (1) a consulting agreement between Holdings, the Company and CD&R, pursuant to which CD&R will provide certain management, consulting, advisory, monitoring and financial services to the Company and its subsidiaries; and (2) amended commercial agreements between the Company and SCJ, relating to, among other things, a facility lease, brand licensing, supply arrangements and administrative services.
The Closing is subject to certain conditions, including the following: the redemption of the Unilever equity interests, completion of certain debt refinancing of Holdings and its subsidiaries, the receipt by the Board of Directors of Holdings of an opinion relating to the solvency of Holdings and all of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis immediately after Closing, the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to Holdings and its subsidiaries since July 3, 2009, the payment of a $25 million deal fee to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Holdings, L.P. (or its designee), and other customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (with respect to which early termination has been granted) and the European Commission Merger Regulation.
In connection with the closing of the Transactions, we intend to rename our company “Diversey, Inc.”

2.Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of October 2, 2009 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 and cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. It is recommended that the accompanying consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Company evaluated subsequent events through November 9, 2009, the date of issuance of the financial statements.
Except where noted, the consolidated financial statements and related notes, excluding the consolidated statements of cash flows, reflect the results of continuing operations excluding the divestiture of DuBois Chemicals (“DuBois”) and the Polymer Business segment (“Polymer Business”) (see Note 7).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JohnsonDiversey, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company uses estimates and assumptions in accounting for the following significant matters, among others:
| • | | Allowances for doubtful accounts |
| • | | Inventory valuation and allowances |
| • | | Valuation of acquired assets and liabilities |
| • | | Useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets |
| • | | Goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment |
| • | | Accounting for income taxes |
Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company periodically reviews estimates and assumptions, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which the revision is made. No significant revisions to estimates or assumptions were made during the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Unless otherwise indicated, all monetary amounts, except for share data, are stated in thousand dollars.

The ASC eliminates the U.S. GAAP hierarchy contained in pre-codification standards and establishes one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All other literature is considered non-authoritative. With the establishment of the ASC, future accounting guidance will come in the form of updates to the Codification; the FASB will no longer be issuing new FASB Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. The ASC does not change U.S. GAAP; it reorganized the numbering system applied to the way we reference U.S. GAAP. This use of the ASC is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted the ASC during this quarter. There was no change to our consolidated financial statements due to the implementation of the ASC other than in the way we reference U.S. GAAP in our notes to the financial statements. The accounting standards described below conform to the new codification.
Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605)
In October 2009, the FASB issued an update on its standard on Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, specifically: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. It also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This ASC update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard may have on its financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements (ASC Topic 820)
General: In September 2006, the FASB issued a new standard on fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures of fair value measurements. We adopted this new guidance for financial assets and liabilities at the beginning of fiscal year 2008 and for non-financial assets and liabilities at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Determination of fair values in inactive markets:In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance on the determination of fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs represent distressed sales. It reaffirms that the objective of fair value measurement is to reflect an asset’s sale price in an orderly transaction at the date of the financial statements. We adopted the new guidance at the beginning of the second quarter of 2009, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments:Also in April 2009, the FASB required an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. The guidance enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. We adopted the new guidance in the second quarter of 2009. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value: In August 2009, the FASB clarified that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value of such liability using one or more of the techniques prescribed by the update. We adopted this standard during this quarter, and it had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Transfers of Financial Assets (ASC Topic 860)
In June 2009, the FASB eliminated the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changed the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. As a result of this amendment to GAAP, many types of transferred financial assets that previously qualified for derecognition in the balance sheet will no longer qualify. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard, which is effective for us at the beginning of fiscal year 2010, on our consolidated financial statements.
Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) (ASC Topic 860)
In June 2009, the FASB amended the evaluation criteria used to identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE, potentially changing significantly the decision on whether or not a VIE should be consolidated. This statement requires companies to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Additionally, the new standard requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard, which will be effective for us at the beginning of fiscal year 2010, on our consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855)
In May 2009, the FASB established general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. As a result of this new standard, and as a public reporting company, we evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued.
Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (ASC Topic 715)
In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance to require additional disclosures about assets held in an employer’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that this guidance may have on its financial statements.
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (ASC Topic 350)
In April 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on the determination of the useful life of intangible assets to amend the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure its fair value by allowing an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The adoption of this new standard, which was effective for us at the beginning of 2009, did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (ASC Topic 815)
In March 2008, the FASB required companies to provide enhanced disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. This statement also requires companies to disclose more information about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in financial statements, how derivatives and related hedges are accounted for under the previous accounting standard and how the hedges affect the entity’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.We adopted this new standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 and the disclosure requirements are presented in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805)
General: In December 2007, the FASB issued a new accounting statement on Business Combinations which retains the underlying concepts of the previous standard in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but the new standard changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; non-controlling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. This new standard is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, which for us is the fiscal year 2009, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. The adoption of this new standard in 2009 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies: In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to (1) require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated; (2) eliminate the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date, and instead, for unrecognized contingencies, require that entities include appropriate disclosures in the business combination footnote; and (3) require that contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be treated as contingent consideration of the acquirer and should be initially and subsequently measured at fair value. This guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, which for the Company is fiscal year 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Non-controlling Interests (ASC Topic 810)
In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard that requires the recognition of non-controlling interests in the equity of a consolidated subsidiary within the equity section of the balance sheet, but separate from the parent’s equity. It also provides revised guidance on the treatment of net income and losses attributable to the non-controlling interest and changes in ownership interests in a subsidiary, and requires additional disclosures that identify and distinguish between the interests of the controlling and non-controlling owners. This guidance, which we adopted in fiscal year 2009, did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

4.Master Sales Agency Terminations and Umbrella Agreement
In connection with the May 2002 acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company entered into a sales agency agreement (the “Prior Agency Agreement”) with Unilever, whereby the Company acts as an exclusive sales agent in the sale of Unilever’s consumer branded products to various institutional and industrial end-users. At the time of the DiverseyLever acquisition, the Company assigned an intangible value to the Prior Agency Agreement of $13,000.
An agency fee is paid by Unilever to the Company in exchange for its sales agency services. An additional fee is payable by Unilever to the Company in the event that conditions for full or partial termination of the Prior Agency Agreement are met. The Company elected, and Unilever agreed, to partially terminate the Prior Agency Agreement in several territories resulting in payment by Unilever to the Company of additional fees. In association with the partial terminations, the Company recognized sales agency fee income of $164 and $180 during the three months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively; and $470 and $587 during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.
In October 2007, the Company and Unilever agreed on an Umbrella Agreement (the “Umbrella Agreement”), to replace the Prior Agency Agreement, which includes; i) a new agency agreement with terms similar to the Prior Agency Agreement, covering Ireland, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Brazil (the “New Agency Agreement”), and ii) a master sub-license agreement (the “License Agreement”) under which Unilever has agreed to grant 31 of the Company’s subsidiaries a license to produce and sell professional size packs of Unilever’s consumer branded cleaning products. The entities covered by the License Agreement will also enter into agreements with Unilever to distribute Unilever’s consumer branded products. Except for some transitional arrangements in certain countries, the Umbrella Agreement became effective January 1, 2008, and, unless otherwise terminated or extended, will expire on December 31, 2017.
Under the License Agreement, the Company recorded net product and service sales of $35,671 and $39,447 during the three months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively; and $99,905 and $114,535 during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.
5.Acquisitions
In June 2008, the Company purchased certain intangible assets relating to a cleaning technology for an aggregate purchase price of $8,020. The purchase price includes a $1,000 non-refundable deposit made in July 2007; $5,020 paid at closing; and $2,000 of future payments that are contingent upon, among other things, achieving commercial production. Assets acquired include primarily intangible assets, consisting of trademarks, patents, technological know-how, customer relationships and a non-compete agreement. The Company paid the sellers, having met certain contingent requirements, $1,000 in both September 2008 and December 2008.
In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company and the sellers entered into a consulting agreement, under which the Company is required to pay to the sellers $1,000 in fiscal 2009 and $1,000 in fiscal 2010, subject to certain conditions. The Company paid the sellers $500 in both January 2009 and July 2009, as the sellers met certain contingent requirements.
6.Divestitures
In December 2007, in conjunction with its November 2005 Plan (see Note 11), the Company executed a sales agreement for its Auto-Chlor Master Franchise and substantially all of its remaining Auto-Chlor branch operations in North America, a business that marketed and sold low-energy dishwashing systems, kitchen chemicals, laundry and housekeeping products and services to foodservice, lodging, healthcare, and institutional customers, for $69,800.
The sales agreement was subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and Unilever consent, both of which the Company considered necessary in order to meet the “held for sale” criteria. Accordingly, these assets were classified as “held and used” as of December 28, 2007. The Company obtained approval from its Board of Directors and consent from Unilever in January 2008.

The transaction closed on February 29, 2008, resulting in a net book gain of approximately $1,292 after taxes and related costs, of which $1,509 was recorded in the nine months ended September 26, 2008, including adjustments for additional one-time costs and refinement of net assets disposed reducing the gain by $50 during the three months ended September 26, 2008. The gain associated with these divestiture activities is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. In fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded adjustments to closing costs and pension-related settlement charges, reducing the gain by $106 and $19 during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively. The gain is subject to additional post-closing adjustments relating to potential pension-related settlement charges.
Net sales associated with these businesses were approximately $0 and $9,882 for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively.
7.Discontinued Operations
DuBois Chemicals
On September 26, 2008, the Company and JohnsonDiversey Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sold substantially all of the assets of DuBois Chemicals (“DuBois”) to DuBois Chemicals, Inc. and DuBois Chemicals Canada, Inc., subsidiaries of The Riverside Company (collectively, “Riverside”), for approximately $69,700, of which, $5,000 was escrowed subject to meeting certain fiscal year 2009 performance measures and $1,000 was escrowed subject to resolution of certain environmental representations by the Company. The purchase price was also subject to certain post-closing adjustments that were based on net working capital targets. Finalization of this adjustment in the first quarter of 2009 did not require any purchase price adjustment. In July of 2009, the Company met certain environmental representations and Riverside released the $1,000 escrow to the Company. The Company and Riverside are expected to finalize the performance related adjustments during the second quarter of 2010.
DuBois is a North American based manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals, control systems and related services primarily for use by industrial manufacturers. DuBois was a non-core asset of the Company and a component of the North American business segment. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $14,774 ($10,696 after tax) being recorded in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, net of related costs. The Company reduced the gain by $122 ($37 after tax income) and $827 ($551 after tax) of additional one-time costs, pension-related settlement charges partially offset by proceeds from the environmental escrow, for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively. The gain is subject to additional post-closing adjustments including additional potential pension-related settlement charges.
Net sales from discontinued operations relating to DuBois were $23,448 and $72,134 (including $2,121 and $7,193 of intercompany sales) for the three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2008.

(collectively, the “Polymer Business”) to BASF Aktiengesellschaft (“BASF”) for approximately $470,000 plus an additional $8,119 in connection with the parties' estimate of purchase price adjustments that are based upon the closing net asset value of the Polymer Business. Further, BASF paid the Company $1,500 for the option to extend the tolling agreement by up to six months. In December 2006, the Company and BASF finalized purchase price adjustments related to the net asset value and the Company received an additional $4,062. The Polymer Business developed, manufactured and sold specialty polymers for use in the industrial print and packaging industry, industrial paint and coatings industry and industrial plastics industry. The Polymer Business was a non-core asset of the Company and had been reported as a separate business segment. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2006, the Company recorded an estimated gain of $352,907 ($235,906 after tax), net of related costs.
During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007, the Company finalized and paid certain pension related adjustments, adjusted net assets disposed and recorded additional closing costs, reducing the gain by $1,742 ($216 after tax gain). During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded and refined additional closing costs, reducing the gain by $192 ($226 after tax loss) of which the Company had recorded a reduced gain of $14 ($60 after tax) and $186 ($225 after tax), respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008.

8.Accounts Receivable Securitization
JWPR Corporation
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the “Receivables Facility”) in March 2001, as amended, whereby they sell, on a continuous basis, certain trade receivables to JWPR Corporation (“JWPRC”), a wholly-owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. JWPRC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries party to the Receivables Facility. JWPRC, in turn, sells an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to nonconsolidated financial institutions (the “Conduits”) for an amount equal to the value of all eligible receivables (as defined under the receivables sale agreement between JWPRC and the Conduits) less the applicable reserve.
In July 2009, the Company amended the Receivables Facility to allow for the repurchase of receivables relating to the Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom and extend the maturity of the program through July 14, 2010. The total potential for securitization of trade receivables under the Receivables Facility was $75,000 at December 31, 2008. The July 2009 amendment reduced the total potential for securitization under the Receivables Facility from $75,000 to $50,000.
As of October 2, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Conduits held $29,500 and $43,700, respectively, of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
As of October 2, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had a retained interest of $45,978 and $74,712, respectively, in the receivables of JWPRC. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at estimated fair value.

JDER Limited
On September 8, 2009, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into agreements (the “European Receivables Facility”) to sell, on a continuous basis, certain trade receivables originated in the United Kingdom, France and Spain to JDER Limited (“JDER”), a wholly-owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. JDER was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables originated by subsidiaries subject to the European Receivables Facility. JDER will sell an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to a nonconsolidated financial institution (the “European Conduit”) for an amount equal to the value of the eligible receivables less the applicable reserve. The total amount available for securitization of trade receivables under the European Receivables Facility is €50 million. The maturity date of the European Receivables Facility is September 8, 2012.
As of October 2, 2009, the European Conduit held $53,810 of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
As of October 2, 2009, the Company had a retained interest of $77,114 in the receivables of JDER. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at estimated fair value.
9.Income Taxes
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, before considering the impact of the Transactions discussed in Note 20, the Company is projecting an effective income tax rate on pre-tax income from continuing operations of approximately 65%. The projected effective income tax rate for the fiscal year exceeds the statutory income tax rate primarily as a result of increased valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions and increases in reserves for uncertain tax positions.
The Company reported an effective income tax rate of 37.0% and 55.8% on pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2009, respectively. When compared to the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the effective income tax rate on the pre-tax income for the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2009 are lower primarily due to actual pacing of pre-tax income (loss) and income tax expense (benefit) in certain key jurisdictions. For example, the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2009 includes a relatively low proportion of the projected annual U.S. pre-tax loss from continuing operations, for which no income tax benefit is claimed due to the U.S. valuation allowance.
The change in the equity ownership of Holdings (see Note 20) could result in the reduction of, or restrictions on the usage of, certain income tax attributes, including net operating loss carryforwards, of Holdings and subsidiaries.
10.Inventories
The components of inventories are summarized as follows:

11.Restructuring Liabilities
November 2005 Restructuring Program
On November 7, 2005, the Company announced a restructuring program (“November 2005 Plan”), the execution of which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2010, with the associated reserves expected to be substantially paid out by the end of the fiscal year, mostly through our restricted cash balance. The November 2005 Plan has included redesigning the Company’s organizational structure, the closure of a number of manufacturing and other facilities, outsourcing the majority of information technology support worldwide, outsourcing certain financial services in Western Europe and a workforce reduction of approximately 15%. In addition to the divestitures that the Company has completed, which most notably included the divestiture of the Polymer Business and DuBois (see Note 7), the Company is also considering the potential divestiture of, or exit from, certain other non-core or underperforming businesses.
In connection with the November 2005 Plan, the Company recognized liabilities of $750 for the involuntary termination of 18 employees during the three months ended October 2, 2009, most of which are associated with the European business segment. During the nine months ended October 2, 2009, the Company recognized liabilities of $7,905 for the involuntary termination of 189 employees, most of which are associated with the European business segment. The Company also recorded $169 and $257 of other restructuring costs during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively.
In addition, and in connection with the November 2005 Plan, the Company recognized liabilities of $2,244 for the involuntary termination of 57 employees during the three months ended September 26, 2008, most of which were associated with the European and North American business segments.

In June 2008, the Company recognized a settlement of defined benefits to former Japan employees, resulting in a related loss of $2,535. In September 2008, the Company recognized an additional loss of $251. The Company recorded these losses in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
14.Financial Instruments
The Company sells its products in more than 175 countries and approximately 83% of the Company's net sales are generated outside the United States. The Company's activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These financial risks are monitored and managed by the Company as an integral part of its overall risk management program.
The Company maintains a foreign currency risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments (foreign currency forward contracts) to protect its interests from fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by the volatility in currency exchange rates. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates pose a risk to the Company's operations and competitive position, since exchange rate changes may affect the profitability and cash flow of the Company, and business and/or pricing strategies of competitors.
Certain of the Company's foreign business unit sales and purchases are denominated in the customers’ or vendors’ local currency. The Company purchases foreign currency forward contracts as hedges of foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and as hedges of forecasted foreign currency denominated sales and purchases. These contracts are entered into to protect against the risk that the future dollar-net-cash inflows and outflows resulting from such sales, purchases, firm commitments or settlements will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.
At October 2, 2009, the Company held 28 foreign currency forward contracts and three options as hedges of foreign currency denominated receivables and payables with aggregate notional amounts of $150,699 and $1,311 respectively. Because the terms of such contracts are primarily less than three months, the Company did not elect hedge accounting treatment for these contracts. The Company records the changes in the fair value of those contracts within other (income) expense, net, in the consolidated statements of operations. Total net realized and unrealized losses recognized on these contracts were $6,328 and $11,172 during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009.
As of October 2, 2009, the Company held 86 foreign currency forward contracts as hedges of forecasted foreign currency denominated sales and purchases with aggregate notional amounts of $35,243. The maximum length of time over which the Company typically hedges cash flow exposures is twelve months. To the extent that these contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified as a component to net income (loss) in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Net unrealized gain on cash flow hedging instruments of $144 was included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, at October 2, 2009. There was no ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedging instruments during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009. Unrealized gains and losses existing at October 2, 2009, which are expected to be reclassified into the consolidated statements of operations from accumulated other comprehensive income during the next year, are not expected to be significant.
The Company is currently party to three interest rate swaps with expiration dates in May 2010. These swaps were purchased to hedge the Company’s floating interest rate exposure on term loan B with a final maturity of December 2011. Under the terms of these swaps, the Company pays fixed rates of 4.825%, 4.845% and 4.9% and receives three-month LIBOR on the notional amount for the life of the swaps. There was no ineffectiveness related to these swaps during the nine months ended October 2, 2009.
All interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments and, therefore, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified as a component to net income (loss) in the same period or periods during which the hedged exposure (interest) affects earnings. The net unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, was $3,345 for the nine months ended October 2, 2009.

The Company primarily uses readily observable market data in conjunction with globally accepted valuation model software when valuing its financial instruments portfolio and, consequently, the Company designates all financial instruments as Level 2. Under ASC Topic 820Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, there are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 2 is defined as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

17.Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal actions and proceedings in the normal course of business. Although litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the Company does not believe the final outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company has purchase commitments for materials, supplies and property, plant and equipment entered into in the ordinary course of business. In the aggregate, such commitments are not in excess of current market prices. Additionally, the Company normally commits to some level of marketing related expenditures that extend beyond the fiscal period. These marketing expenses are necessary in order to maintain a normal course of business and the risk associated with them is limited. It is not expected that these commitments will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company maintains environmental reserves for remediation, monitoring and related expenses for one of its domestic facilities. While the ultimate exposure to further remediation expense at this site continues to be evaluated, the Company does not anticipate a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company conducted environmental assessments and investigations at DiverseyLever facilities in various countries. These investigations disclosed the likelihood of soil and/or groundwater contamination or potential environmental regulatory matters. An estimate of costs has been made and maintained based on the expected extent of contamination and the expected likelihood of recovery for some of these costs from Unilever under the purchase agreement for the acquisition. As of October 2, 2009, the Company maintained related reserves of $7,800 on a discounted basis (using country specific discount rates ranging from 8.3% to 13.7%) and $10,400 on an undiscounted basis. The Company intends to seek recovery from Unilever under indemnification clauses contained in the purchase agreement.
The Company is a licensee of certain chemical production technology used globally. The license agreement provides for guaranteed minimum royalty payments during a term ending on December 31, 2014. Under the terms of agreement and based on current financial projections, the Company does not expect to meet the minimum guaranteed payments. In accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450 Contingencies, the Company estimated its possible range of loss as $2,879 to $4,223 and maintained a loss reserve of $2,879 at October 2, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement with its stockholders, Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”) and Marga B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Unilever N.V. (“Unilever”), as amended and restated in December 2008. The Stockholders’ Agreement relates to, among other things:
| • | | restrictions on the transfer of Holdings’ shares held by the stockholders; |
| • | | Holdings’ corporate governance, including board and committee representation and stockholder approval provisions; |
| • | | the put and call options and rights of first offer and refusal with respect to shares held by Marga B.V.; |
| • | | certain payments to Marga B.V. as described below; and |
| • | | various other rights and obligations of Holdings and its stockholders, such as provisions relating to delivery of and access to financial and other information, payment of dividends and indemnification of directors, officers and stockholders. |
Marga B.V.’s obligations under the Stockholders’ Agreement are guaranteed by Unilever.
Put and Call Options. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, at any time after May 3, 2008, Unilever has the right to require Holdings to purchase the shares then beneficially owned by Unilever. Holdings has the option to purchase the shares beneficially owned by Unilever at any time after May 3, 2010. Any exercise by Holdings of its call option must be for at least 50% of the shares beneficially owned by Unilever. Any exercise by Unilever of its put option must be for all of its shares.
Before May 3, 2010, Holdings’ obligations in connection with a put by Unilever are conditioned on a refinancing of the Company’s and Holdings’ indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Company’s senior subordinated notes and the Company’s senior secured credit facilities. In connection with the put, Holdings must use its reasonable best efforts prior to May 3, 2009, and its best efforts after that date, to consummate a refinancing and may be required to purchase less than all of the shares subject to the put under some circumstances. If Holdings purchases less than all of the shares subject to a put, Unilever may again put its remaining shares after a specified suspension period.
Following the exercise by Unilever of its put rights, if Holdings fails to purchase all of Unilever’s shares for cash by May 3, 2010, it must issue a promissory note to Unilever in exchange for the remaining shares. The maturity date of the promissory note will be either 90 days or one year after its issuance, depending on the level of Unilever’s ownership interest in Holdings at that time. The terms of the promissory note will provide Unilever with rights similar to its rights as a stockholder under the Stockholders’ Agreement, including board representation, veto and access and informational rights. The promissory note will contain various subordination provisions in relation to the Company’s and Holdings’ indebtedness.
If, after May 3, 2010, Unilever has not been paid cash with respect to its put option, Unilever may also:
| • | | require Holdings to privately sell Unilever’s shares or other shares of Holdings’ capital stock to a third party; and |
| • | | require Holdings to explore the sale of designated businesses that may be identified for sale by a special committee of Holdings’ board of directors. The special committee is required to identify such other business or businesses after May 3, 2009 and prior to May 3, 2010 and to engage an investment banking firm to assist it with such identification and evaluation. |
The exercise of these remedies, other than sales of Unilever’s shares, is subject to compliance with the agreements relating to the Company’s and Holdings’ indebtedness.
The price for Holdings’ shares subject to a put or call option will be based on Holdings’ enterprise value at the time the relevant option is exercised, plus its cash and minus its indebtedness. Holdings’ enterprise value cannot be less than eight times the EBITDA
18
JOHNSONDIVERSEY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
of Holdings and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the preceding four fiscal quarters, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement. If Holdings, Unilever and their respective financial advisors cannot agree on an enterprise value, the issue will be submitted to an independent third-party for determination.
If Holdings purchases less than all of the shares beneficially owned by Unilever in connection with the exercise of the put or call option, Unilever may elect to fix the price for its remaining shares not purchased. If Unilever does not elect to fix the price, the price will float and a new price will be determined based on the enterprise value the next time a put or call option is exercised.
Contingent Payments. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, Holdings may be required to make payments to Unilever in each year from 2007 through 2010 so long as Unilever continues to beneficially own 5% or more of Holdings’ outstanding shares. The amount of each payment will be equal to 25% of the amount by which the cumulative cash flows of Holdings and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the period from May 3, 2002, through the end of the fiscal year preceding the payment (not including any cash flow with respect to which Unilever received a payment in a prior year), exceeds:
| • | | $1,200,000 in 2008; and |
The aggregate amount of all these payments cannot exceed $100,000. Payment of these amounts is subject to compliance with the agreements relating to Holdings and the Company’s senior indebtedness including, without limitation, the senior discount notes of Holdings, the Company’s senior subordinated notes and the Company’s senior secured credit facilities.
Holdings did not meet the cumulative cash flow requirement for the measurement periods ended December 31, 2008, December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006 and will not be required to make a contingent payment.
Transfer of Shares. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, a stockholder controlled by Unilever may transfer its shares of Holdings to another entity of which Unilever owns at least an 80% interest, and a stockholder controlled by Holdco may transfer its shares of Holdings to another entity of which Holdco owns at least an 80% interest.
Purchase of Additional Shares from Holdco. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, on the earlier of May 3, 2010 and the date on which Unilever sells all of its shares of Holdings to Holdings or a third party in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement, Unilever will have the right to buy from Holdco that number of class A common shares of Holdings (the “Additional Shares”) equal to the lesser of (i) 1.5% of the total outstanding shares of Holdings and (ii) the largest whole number of class A common shares, the aggregate value (as determined pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement) of which does not exceed $40 million. The purchase price to be paid by Unilever to Holdco for such Additional Shares would be $.01 per share. Unilever may then require the immediate repurchase by Holdco of the Additional Shares at a price determined in accordance with the Stockholders’ Agreement. The obligations to transfer the Additional Shares and repurchase those shares are obligations solely of Holdco.
Unilever’s put rights and certain other obligations owed to and collectible from Unilever by the Company, Holdings and Holdco under the various arrangements described above, will be extinguished as part of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the agreements entered into by the Company, Holdings and Holdco on October 7, 2009.

20.Subsequent Event
On October 7, 2009, the Company, JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc., our parent company (“Holdings”), and Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”) entered into a series of agreements principally designed to recapitalize the Company and Holdings. These agreements, which are described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2009, include: (1) an Investment and Recapitalization Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) pursuant to which (a) the current common equity ownership interests of Holdings held by Holdco will be reclassified as new shares of class A common stock of Holdings and (b) Holdings will issue shares of its new class A common stock to CDR Jaguar Investor Company, LLC (“CD&R Investor”), a limited liability company owned by a private investment fund managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (“CD&R”), and CDR F&F Jaguar Investor, LLC, an affiliate of CD&R Investor (together with CD&R Investor, the “CD&R Investor Parties”) and to SNW Co., Inc. (“SNW”), a wholly owned subsidiary of S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. (“SCJ”), for cash consideration of $477 million and $9.9 million, respectively; and (2) a Redemption Agreement pursuant to which Holdings or an affiliate will purchase all of the common equity ownership interests of Holdings currently held by parties affiliated with Unilever N.V. (“Unilever”) in exchange for (a) $158 million in cash, (b) the settlement of certain amounts owing by Unilever to us and Holdings and owing to Unilever by Holdings and Holdco, (c) a promissory note from Holdings in the initial aggregate principal amount of $250 million, and (d) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase shares of Holdings’ new class A common stock.
The Redemption Agreement also provides that, effective as of closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement and the Redemption Agreement (the “Closing”), the rights and obligations of Holdings, Marga and their respective affiliates under (a) the Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2001 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Holdings, the Company and an affiliate of Unilever, other than certain tax and environmental indemnification rights and obligations, will be terminated, (b) the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2008 (the “Current Stockholders Agreement”), by and among Holdings, Holdco and an affiliate of Unilever, including Unilever’s put rights discussed in Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements but excluding certain confidentiality obligations, will be terminated, and (c) certain provisions of the Umbrella Agreement in Respect of Professional Products, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Umbrella Agreement”), by and among Unilever, an affiliate of Unilever and the Company, relating to the settlement of certain working capital payables will be deemed satisfied and terminated.
At the Closing, Holdings’ ownership, assuming the exercise of the Warrant, will be as follows: Holdco, 49.1%; the CD&R Investor Parties, 45.9%; SNW, 1.0%; and Unilever, 4.0%. Among other conditions, the Closing is subject to the successful refinancing of the outstanding debt of Holdings and its subsidiaries, including us, on terms acceptable to each of CD&R Investor, Holdco and Holdings. We refer to the transactions contemplated by the preceding agreements and certain ancillary agreements as the “Transactions.”
In addition to various agreements among the parties, which are intended to direct governance and other rights, the Company expects to enter into the following agreements at Closing: (1) a consulting agreement between Holdings, the Company and CD&R, pursuant to which CD&R will provide certain management, consulting, advisory, monitoring and financial services to the Company and its subsidiaries; and (2) amended commercial agreements between the Company and SCJ, relating to, among other things, a facility lease, brand licensing, supply arrangements and administrative services.
The Closing is subject to certain conditions, including the following: the redemption of the Unilever equity interests, completion of certain debt refinancing of Holdings and its subsidiaries, the receipt by the Board of Directors of Holdings of an opinion relating to the solvency of Holdings and all of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis immediately after Closing, the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to Holdings and its subsidiaries since July 3, 2009, the payment of a $25 million deal fee to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Holdings, L.P. (or its designee), and other customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (with respect to which early termination has been granted) and the European Commission Merger Regulation.
In connection with the closing of the Transactions, we intend to rename our company “Diversey, Inc.”
As of October 2, 2009, as a result of the anticipated settlement of certain balances contemplated by the Redemption Agreement, the Company reclassified $84,110 from Long-term receivables - related parties to Accounts receivable - related parties, and $30,037 from Long-term payables - related parties to Accounts payable - related parties. These amounts represent the accumulated balance of various adjustments related to the consideration paid for the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business in 2002, which are payable, on a net basis, by Unilever, upon redemption of Unilever’s equity interest.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
The following management discussion and analysis describes material changes in the financial condition and results of operations of JohnsonDiversey, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries since December 31, 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three months and nine months ended October 2, 2009, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” immediately preceding Part I of this report.
As more fully described in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements and further discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources below, on October 7, 2009, we and our parent, Holdings, among other parties entered into a series of agreements (all referred to as the Transactions), principally designed to recapitalize the Company and Holdings. As part of the Transactions, we will receive a cash equity investment from an investment fund managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (“CD&R”), which will primarily be used to redeem substantially all of Unilever’s equity interests, restructure our existing debt and pay transaction fees. Our affiliation with CD&R will also provide us the ability to access more efficient financial and capital resources, and allow us to work with an investor with extensive knowledge in the markets in which we operate. In connection with the Transactions, we will refinance substantially all of our Company’s debt, and we intend to change our name to “Diversey, Inc.” The closing of the contemplated Transactions is expected to occur later this fiscal year. The Transactions have no material impact to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the period ended October 2, 2009.

Except where noted, the management discussion and analysis below, excluding the consolidated statements of cash flows, reflects the results of continuing operations, which excludes the divestiture of DuBois Chemicals (“DuBois”), and the Polymer Business segment (“Polymer Business”) as discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
As indicated in the following table, after excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, divestitures, sales agency fee income (“SAF”), and sales from our Master Sub-License Agreement (the “License Agreement”), our net sales increased by 0.8% for the three months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 26, 2008, and by 2.1% for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 26, 2008.

Net sales reflect growth despite challenging global economic conditions. The positive sales growth in the quarter reflects expansion in our EMA, Latin America, and Asia Pacific regions, partially offset by Japan, where we continue a strategic exit from non-core businesses, and North America, where certain customer sectors are suffering from economic recession. Growth was primarily due to the continued expansion of certain developing markets in Latin America and Asia Pacific, and successful price increases implemented in all our geographic areas and customer sectors.

As indicated in the following table, the Company’s gross profit percentage improved significantly for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the impact of SAF, our gross profit percentage improved 340 basis points for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008.

Margin on Net Sales as Reported Three Months Ended | | | Margin on Net Sales Adjusted for SAF Three Months Ended | |

43.2 | % | | 40.0 | % | | 42.7 | % | | 39.3 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | |
The 340 basis point improvement this quarter compared to the same period last year reflects the effective execution of pricing strategies despite pressures on volume caused by the global recession. This quarter’s gross margin represents a significant 210 basis point improvement over that of the second quarter of this year. This increase was largely achieved through pricing actions, favorable mix and a favorable reduction in certain raw material costs.
We were in compliance with our financial covenants under our existing senior secured credit facilities. The global economy has been greatly affected by the ongoing credit crisis and recessionary environment with many lenders and institutional investors ceasing to provide funding to even the most creditworthy borrowers. We believe that we are positioned to deal with the current crisis; however, we are not able to predict how severe the current economic downturn may become, how long it will last and how it will affect our business or our customers’ businesses going forward.
Further volatility in the global economy may adversely affect a number of our end-users, such as hotels, restaurants, food and beverage processors and others that are sensitive to business travel and leisure. During economic downturns, these end-users may reduce their purchase volume of cleaning, hygiene, operational efficiency and appearance enhancing products. Furthermore, as a result of the disruptions in the credit markets, our customers may face difficulties gaining timely access to sufficient credit, which could impair their ability to make timely payments to us. In addition, the continuing economic crisis could also adversely impact our suppliers’ ability to provide us with materials and components. These factors have had and may continue to have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We will continue to monitor economic conditions closely and pursue cost saving opportunities through our restructuring program and other cost reduction initiatives as well as growth opportunities through certain strategic investments and innovations.
The slowing of the global economy has adversely affected our revenue and operating profit. The continuation of the current recession could further adversely affect our net sales and operating profit. As a result, we have reconsidered our growth plans for the near future to plan for a possible decrease in business volumes, as the impact of the current recession has spanned across several industries and regions and is evident in the financial results of many companies, including our customers. While we attempt to continuously manage our costs, including our personnel, in relation to our business volumes, our efforts may not be successful and the timing of these efforts and associated costs may adversely affect our results. We continue to monitor economic conditions closely and pursue cost saving opportunities through our restructuring program and other cost reduction initiatives as well as growth opportunities through certain strategic investments and innovations.
In November 2005, in response to structural changes in raw material markets that gave rise to significant increases in our input costs, we announced a program (“November 2005 Plan”) to implement an operational restructuring of our Company. The program also considered the potential divestiture of, or exit from, certain non-core or underperforming businesses. As we prepare for and continue to experience a similar pattern of events with volatile fuel costs and raw material costs in 2009, we believe our restructuring program has positioned us positively to confront these challenges more effectively.
During the third quarter of 2009, we continued to make significant progress with the operational restructuring of our Company in accordance with the November 2005 Plan. In particular, key activities during the quarter included the following:
| • | | continued plans to transition to new organizational models in our regions; |
| • | | continued the transition of certain general ledger accounting functions in Western Europe to a third party provider; |
| • | | continued the redesign of the Japanese sales and marketing functions, supported by Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) system upgrades to be completed in late 2009 through 2010; and |
| • | | continued progress on various supply chain optimization projects to improve capacity utilization and efficiency. |
For the three months ended October 2, 2009 and in connection with the aforementioned and other activities under the November 2005 Plan, we recorded restructuring charges of approximately $0.9 million, which consisted primarily of severance costs. In addition, we recorded period costs of $9.8 million related to the November 2005 Plan in the third quarter of 2009, consisting of the following:
| • | | $6.2 million for personnel related costs of employees and consultative resources associated with restructuring initiatives; |
| • | | $1.7 million related to value chain and cost savings projects; and |
| • | | $1.9 million related to facilities, asset impairment charges and various other costs |
28
For the nine months ended October 2, 2009, restructuring charges were approximately $8.2 million, which consisted primarily of severance costs. In addition, we recorded period costs of $23.3 million in the same period, related to the November 2005 Plan, consisting of the following:
| • | | $15.9 million for personnel related costs of employees and consultative resources associated with restructuring initiatives; |
| • | | $3.8 million related to value chain and cost savings projects; and |
| • | | $3.6 million related to facilities, asset impairment charges and various other costs |
Our execution of the November 2005 Plan is expected to be completed in the first half of 2010, with the associated reserves expected to be substantially paid out by the end of the fiscal year, mostly through our restricted cash balance. The main restructuring focus for the remainder of this year will be the move towards a new organizational model consisting of three regions. We believe that this reorganization will better position us to address consolidation and globalization trends among our customers while also enabling us to more effectively deploy resources against the most compelling market and customer growth opportunities. We also believe this move will boost our efforts to more rapidly deploy innovation globally.

Three Months Ended October 2, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended September 26, 2008
Net Sales:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | September 26, 2008 | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Net product and service sales | | $ | 808.2 | | $ | 846.7 | | $ | (38.5 | ) | | -4.5 | % |
Sales agency fee income | | | 7.2 | | | 9.8 | | | (2.6 | ) | | -26.5 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 815.4 | | $ | 856.5 | | $ | (41.1 | ) | | -4.8 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| • | | The comparability of net sales reported in the two periods is significantly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate movements. As measured against the same period in the prior year, the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies resulted in a $40.1 million reduction in net product and service sales. |
| • | | Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates, SAF income and sales under the License Agreement, net sales increased by 0.8% despite the continued global economic slowdown, reflecting growth in all of our regions except North America and Japan. This growth was primarily due to successful price increases in all our geographic areas and business sectors and the continued expansion of certain developing markets in Latin America and Asia Pacific. The following is a review of the sales performance for each of our segments: |
29
| – | In our Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, net sales increased by 2.9% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. Growth was achieved primarily from successfully implementing price increases and new customer acquisitions, as well as strong sales of disinfectant products resulting from the H1N1 virus threat. This growth was somewhat offset by declining volume in floor care equipment, cleaning tools, and engineering sales due to continued weakened economic conditions as customers deferred capital investments. |
| – | In Latin America, net sales increased by 2.4% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. Volume growth came from new customer wins. The rate of sales growth decelerated in this quarter compared to the first semester, reflecting softening demand from the lodging and retail sectors, along with a lagging impact of the global recession in many countries in the region. |
| – | In Asia Pacific, net sales improved by 3.0% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is mainly due to continuing volume improvements in developing markets such as India, stable growth in Australia, and recovery in China, offset by volume decreases in the remainder of the region primarily caused by lower traffic in the lodging sector due to the global recession. |
| – | In North America, net sales decreased by 5.0% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to a general softness in the institutional distribution network in combination with lower consumer brand sales linked to overall recessionary pressures. |
| – | In Japan, net sales decreased by 6.1% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of the decline is driven by choices made to exit certain non-core and/or underperforming accounts in both direct and indirect channels and a reduction in overall demand from distributors and end-users in many of our sectors, reflecting the depressed Japanese economy. The rate of decrease in net sales slowed in this quarter, compared to the first half of this year, due to success in new customer acquisitions. |
| • | | Sales agency fee and License Agreement.As explained in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into an Umbrella Agreement with Unilever consisting of the New Agency Agreement and the License Agreement, which became effective January 1, 2008, and unless otherwise terminated or extended, will expire on December 31, 2017. |
The amounts of sales agency fees and License Agreement revenues earned under these agreements are reported in the preceding tables.

Gross Profit:
Our gross profit and gross profit percentages for the three months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | | Amount | | Percentage | |

| | | | |
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales adjusted for sales agency fee income: | | | 42.7 | % | | | 39.3 | % | | | | | | |
| • | | The comparability of gross profit between the two periods is significantly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate movements. As measured against the same period in the prior year, the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies resulted in a $16.7 million reduction in gross profit. |
| • | | Our gross profit percentage (based on net sales as reported) for the third quarter of 2009 improved by 320 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in SAF had an unfavorable impact on gross margin during the quarter. Excluding the impact of SAF income, our gross profit percentage improved 340 basis points for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. |
| • | | The 340 basis point improvement this quarter compared to the same period last year reflects the effective execution of pricing strategies despite pressures on volume caused by the global recession. This quarter’s gross margin represents a significant 210 basis point improvement over that of the second quarter of this year. This increase was largely achieved through pricing actions, favorable mix and a favorable reduction in certain raw material costs. |

* | The percentages for 2009 and 2008 are 30.0% and 30.1%, respectively, when period costs associated with the November 2005 Plan are excluded from selling, general and administrative expenses. |
Operating expenses.The comparability of operating expenses between the two periods is significantly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate movements. As measured against the same period in the prior year, the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies resulted in a $12.0 million reduction in operating expenses.
| • | | Selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding period costs associated with the November 2005 Plan, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales adjusted for SAF were 30.0% for the third quarter of 2009 and 30.1% for the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, selling, general and administrative costs increased by $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. |
| • | | Research and development expenses. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, research and development expenses decreased by $0.1 million during the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. |
| • | | Restructuring expenses. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, restructuring expenses decreased by $1.1 million during the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. This was mainly due to decreased employee severance and other expenses related to the November 2005 Plan consisting primarily of involuntary termination costs associated with our European business segment. |

Restructuring and Integration:
A summary of all costs associated with the November 2005 Plan for the third quarters ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, and since inception of the program in November 2005, is outlined below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(dollars in millions) | | Three Months Ended October 2, 2009 | | | Three Months Ended September 26, 2008 | | | Total Project to Date October 2, 2009 | |

Period costs classified as cost of sales | | | 0.1 | | | | 0.0 | | | | 5.2 | |
Capital expenditures | | | 1.9 | | | | 4.4 | | | | 75.2 | |
| • | | During the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, we recorded $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of restructuring costs related to our November 2005 Plan. Costs for both periods consisted primarily of involuntary termination costs associated with our European business segment. |
| • | | Period costs of $9.7 and $7.8 million for 2009 and 2008, respectively, included in selling, general and administrative expenses and $0.1 million and $0 for 2009 and 2008, respectively, included in cost of sales pertained to: (a) $6.2 million in 2009 and 2008 for personnel related costs of employees and consultative resources associated with restructuring initiatives, (b) $1.7 million in 2009 ($1.2 million in 2008) for value chain and cost savings projects, and (c) $1.9 million in 2009 ($0.4 million in 2008) related to facilities, asset impairment charges and various other costs. The overall increase in these expenses over the prior period was mainly due to the timing of restructuring activities within our European and North American business segments. |

Non-Operating Results:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Interest expense | | $ | 22.8 | | | $ | 26.7 | | | $ | (3.9 | ) | | -14.7 | % |
Interest income | | | (1.2 | ) | | | (2.1 | ) | | | 0.9 | | | -40.0 | % |

| | | | |
Other expense (income), net | | | (0.8 | ) | | | 2.3 | | | | (3.1 | ) | | | |
| • | | Net interest expense decreased in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower interest rates on borrowings, offset by decreased interest income on lower cash balances and a lower yield on investments. |
| • | | Other income improved due to gains on foreign currency positions. |
Income Taxes:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Income from continuing operations before income taxes | | $ | 63.2 | | | $ | 35.0 | | | $ | 28.2 | | | 80.8 | % |
Provision for income taxes | | | 23.4 | | | | 23.8 | | | | (0.4 | ) | | -1.7 | % |
| | | | |
Effective income tax rate | | | 37.0 | % | | | 68.0 | % | | | | | | | |
| • | | For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, before considering the impact of the Transactions discussed in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements, we are projecting an effective income tax rate of approximately 65% on pre-tax income from continuing operations. The projected effective income tax rate for the fiscal year exceeds the statutory income tax rate primarily as a result of increased valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions and increases in reserves for uncertain tax positions. |
| • | | We reported an effective income tax rate of 37.0% on the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the third quarter ended October 2, 2009. When compared to the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the effective income tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2009 is lower primarily due to actual pacing of pre-tax income (loss) and income tax expense (benefit) in certain key jurisdictions. For example, the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2009 includes a relatively low proportion of the projected U.S. annual pre-tax loss from continuing operations, for which no income tax benefit is claimed due to the U.S. valuation allowance. |
| • | | We reported an effective income tax rate of 68.0% on the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the third quarter ended September 26, 2008. The high effective income tax rate is primarily the result of increased valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions and increases in reserves for uncertain tax positions. |

Discontinued operations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Income from discontinued operations | | $ | 0.3 | | | $ | 19.2 | | $ | (18.9 | ) | | -98.2 | % |
(Benefit) provision for income taxes | | | (0.2 | ) | | | 7.2 | | | (7.4 | ) | | -102.7 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes | | $ | 0.5 | | | $ | 12.0 | | $ | (11.5 | ) | | -95.5 | % |
The income from discontinued operations during the third quarter ended October 2, 2009 pertains to $0.5 million after-tax income related to the Polymer business. For the quarter ended September 26, 2008, the $12.0 million after tax income pertained to the Dubois divestiture.
Net Income:
Our net income of $40.4 million for the third quarter of 2009 represents an increase of $17.2 million from the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency exchange of $3.5 million, our net income increased by $20.7 million. This increase is primarily due to an increase of $26.4 million in gross profit and a decrease in net interest expense, offset by a decrease in income from discontinued operations. As previously discussed, the increase in gross margin is due to pricing actions, favorable mix and a favorable reduction in certain raw material costs. The reduction in operating expenses is generally due to savings from our November 2005 Plan.
EBITDA:
EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, and you should not consider EBITDA as an alternative to U.S. GAAP financial measures such as (a) operating profit or net income (loss) as a measure of our operating performance or (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as a measure of our ability to meet cash needs.
We believe that, in addition to operating profit, net income (loss), and cash flows from operating activities, EBITDA is a useful financial measurement for assessing liquidity as it provides management, investors, lenders and financial analysts with an additional basis to evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, various covenants under our senior secured credit facilities are based on EBITDA, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of those facilities.
In evaluating EBITDA, management considers, among other things, the amount by which EBITDA exceeds interest costs for the period, how EBITDA compares to principal repayments on outstanding debt for the period and how EBITDA compares to capital expenditures for the period. Management believes many investors, lenders and financial analysts evaluate EBITDA for similar purposes. To evaluate EBITDA, the components of EBITDA, such as net sales and operating expenses and the variability of such components over time, should also be considered.
Accordingly, we believe that the inclusion of EBITDA in this report permits a more comprehensive analysis of our liquidity relative to other companies and our ability to service debt requirements. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA identically, the presentation of EBITDA in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for, and should be considered together with, net cash flows provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table reconciles EBITDA to net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the U.S. GAAP measure most comparable to EBITDA for the three months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008.

EBITDA for the three months ended September 26, 2008, when stated on comparable 2009 exchange rates, would have been $105.4 million. Net of this negative foreign currency impact, EBITDA increased by $8.0 million for the three months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to increased gross profit arising from pricing actions and a favorable reduction in certain raw material costs, and decreases in our operating expenses.
Nine Months Ended October 2, 2009 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 26, 2008
Net Sales:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | September 26, 2008 | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Net product and service sales | | $ | 2,293.3 | | $ | 2,495.0 | | $ | (201.7 | ) | | -8.1 | % |
Sales agency fee income | | | 19.3 | | | 28.4 | | | (9.1 | ) | | -32.1 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 2,312.6 | | $ | 2,523.4 | | $ | (210.8 | ) | | -8.4 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| • | | The comparability of net sales reported in the two periods is significantly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate movements. As measured against the same period in the prior year, the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies resulted in a $217.2 million reduction in net product and service sales. |
| • | | Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates, divestitures, SAF income and sales under the License Agreement, net sales increased by 2.1% despite challenging global economic conditions, reflecting growth in all of our regions except Japan. This growth was primarily due to successful price increases in all our geographic areas and business sectors and the continued expansion of developing markets in Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. The following is a review of the sales performance for each of our segments: |
36
| – | In our Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, net sales increased by 2.4% during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. Growth was achieved primarily from successfully implementing price increases and new customer acquisitions, as well as strong sales of disinfectant products resulting from the H1N1 virus threat. This growth was somewhat offset by declining volume in floor care equipment, cleaning tools, and engineering sales due to continued weakened economic conditions as customers deferred capital investments. |
| – | In Latin America, net sales increased by 9.1% during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. Growth came from most countries in the region primarily from pricing with some volume growth contributing to the overall increase. Volume growth came from new customer wins which offset the volume decline from existing customers coping with the recessionary forces in the market place. |
| – | In Asia Pacific, net sales increased by 2.1% during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is mainly due to continuing volume improvements in developing markets such as India, stable growth in Australia, and recovery in China, offset by volume decreases in the remainder of the region primarily caused by lower traffic in the lodging sector due to the global recession. |
| – | In North America, net sales increased by 1.0% during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to price increases across all sectors and volume growth in the food and beverage sector and some corporate and global accounts. This increase was achieved despite a general softness in the institutional distribution network and lower consumer brand sales linked to overall recessionary pressures. |
| – | In Japan, net sales decreased by 10.0% during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of the decline is driven by choices made to exit certain non-core and/or underperforming accounts in both direct and indirect channels. Net sales were also affected by a reduction in overall demand from distributors and end-users in many of our sectors, reflecting negative conditions in the Japanese economy. |
| • | | Sales agency fee and License Agreement. As explained in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into an Umbrella Agreement with Unilever consisting of the New Agency Agreement and the License Agreement, which became effective January 1, 2008, and unless otherwise terminated or extended, will expire on December 31, 2017. |
The amounts of sales agency fees and License Agreement revenues earned under these agreements are reported in the preceding tables.
Gross Profit:
Our gross profit and gross profit percentages for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
| | | | |
Gross Profit | | $ | 947.7 | | | $ | 1,027.1 | | | $ | (79.4 | ) | | -7.7 | % |
| | | | |
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales as reported: | | | 41.0 | % | | | 40.7 | % | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales adjusted for sales agency fee income: | | | 40.5 | % | | | 40.0 | % | | | | | | | |
37
| • | | The comparability of gross profit between the two periods is significantly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate movements. As measured against the same period in the prior year, the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies resulted in a $91.9 million reduction in gross profit. |
| • | | Our gross profit percentage (based on net sales as reported) improved by 30 basis points for the nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of SAF income, our gross profit percentage improved 50 basis points for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. |
| • | | The improvement by 50 basis points in this nine month period over the same period last year is largely the result of pricing actions and a favorable reduction in certain raw material costs. |

* | The percentages for 2009 and 2008 are 31.0% and 31.5%, respectively, when period costs associated with the November 2005 Plan are excluded from selling, general and administrative expenses. |
Operating expenses.The comparability of operating expenses between the two periods is significantly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate movements. As measured against the same period in the prior year, the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies resulted in a $72.4 million reduction in operating expenses.
| • | | Selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding period costs associated with the November 2005 Plan, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales adjusted for SAF were 31.0% for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to 31.5% for the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, selling, general and administrative costs declined $17.0 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year. This favorable decline is mainly due to cost savings under our November 2005 Plan and our aggressive expense control management in response to the current economic conditions. We achieved these savings while maintaining and improving our customer-facing capabilities. |
| • | | Research and development expenses. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, research and development expenses decreased by $1.0 million during the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. This favorable decline is largely due to globalization of the function and investments in technology, which have improved our efficiency. |
38
| • | | Restructuring expenses. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, restructuring expenses decreased $4.5 million during the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. This was mainly due to decreased employee severance and other expenses related to the November 2005 Plan, consisting primarily of involuntary termination costs associated with our European business segment. |
Restructuring and Integration:
A summary of all costs associated with the November 2005 Plan for the three quarters ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, and since inception of the program in November 2005, is outlined below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Period costs classified as cost of sales | | | 0.8 | | | | (0.6 | ) | | | 5.2 | |
Capital expenditures | | | 13.4 | | | | 13.3 | | | | 75.2 | |
| • | | During the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, we recorded $8.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively, of restructuring costs related to our November 2005 Plan. Costs for the first nine months of 2009 consisted primarily of involuntary termination costs associated with our European business segment, and the costs for the first nine months of 2008 consisted primarily of involuntary termination costs associated with our Japanese and European business segments. |
| • | | Period costs of $22.5 and $32.8 million for 2009 and 2008, respectively, included in selling, general and administrative expenses and $0.8 million and ($0.6) million for 2009 and 2008, respectively, included in cost of sales pertained to: (a) $15.9 million in 2009 ($19.2 million in 2008) for personnel related costs of employees and consultative resources associated with restructuring initiatives, (b) $3.8 million in 2009 ($2.6 million in 2008) for value chain and cost savings projects, (c) $1.4 million in 2009 ($5.7 million in 2008) related to tangible asset impairments, and (d) $2.2 million in 2009 ($4.7 million in 2008) related to facilities and various other costs. The overall decrease in these expenses over the prior period was mainly due to a reduction in restructuring activities within our European business segment as well as the Corporate Center. |

Non-Operating Results:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Interest expense | | $ | 70.1 | | | $ | 79.3 | | | $ | (9.2 | ) | | -11.7 | % |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Other expense (income), net | | | (4.3 | ) | | | 0.7 | | | | (5.0 | ) | | | |
| • | | Net interest expense decreased during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower interest rates on borrowings, offset by decreased interest income on lower cash balances and a lower yield on investments. |
| • | | Other income improved due to gains on foreign currency positions. |
Income Taxes:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Income from continuing operations before income taxes | | $ | 98.2 | | | $ | 70.7 | | | 27.5 | | | 39.0 | % |
Provision for income taxes | | | 54.8 | | | | 61.1 | | | (6.3 | ) | | -10.3 | % |
| | | | |
Effective income tax rate | | | 55.8 | % | | | 86.5 | % | | | | | | |
| • | | For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, before considering the impact of the Transactions discussed in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements, we are projecting an effective income tax rate of approximately 65% on pre-tax income from continuing operations. The projected effective income tax rate for the fiscal year exceeds the statutory income tax rate primarily as a result of increased valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions and increases in reserves for uncertain tax positions. |
| • | | We reported an effective income tax rate of 55.8% on the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2009. When compared to the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 is lower primarily due to actual pacing of pre-tax income (loss) and income tax expense (benefit) in certain key jurisdictions. For example, the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 includes a relatively low proportion of the projected U.S. annual pre-tax loss from continuing operations, for which no income tax benefit is claimed due to the U.S. valuation allowance. |
| • | | We reported an effective income tax rate of 86.5% on the pre-tax income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The high effective income tax rate is primarily the result of increased valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions and increases in reserves for uncertain tax positions. |

Discontinued operations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Income (loss) from discontinued operations | | $ | (1.2 | ) | | $ | 25.0 | | $ | (26.2 | ) | | -104.6 | % |
(Benefit) provision for income taxes | | | (0.3 | ) | | | 9.5 | | | (9.8 | ) | | -103.2 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes | | $ | (0.9 | ) | | $ | 15.5 | | $ | (16.4 | ) | | -105.5 | % |
The loss from discontinued operations during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 includes $0.6 million related to after-tax additional one-time costs associated with the DuBois divestiture ($14.9 million after-tax income in 2008), and $0.3 million related to the Polymer divestiture ($0.6 million after-tax income in 2008).
Net Income:
Our net income increased by $17.4 million to $42.5 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency exchange of $15.5 million, our net income increased by $32.9 million. This increase is primarily due to an increase of $12.4 million in gross profit, a decrease of $22.5 million in operating expenses, a favorable decrease in net interest expense and increase in other income, offset by a decrease in income from discontinued operations. As previously discussed, the increase in gross margin is due to pricing actions and a favorable reduction in certain raw material costs. The reduction in operating expenses is generally due to savings from our November 2005 Plan.
EBITDA:
EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, and you should not consider EBITDA as an alternative to U.S. GAAP financial measures such as (a) operating profit or net income (loss) as a measure of our operating performance or (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as a measure of our ability to meet cash needs.
We believe that, in addition to operating profit, net income (loss), and cash flows from operating activities, EBITDA is a useful financial measurement for assessing liquidity as it provides management, investors, lenders and financial analysts with an additional basis to evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, various covenants under our existing senior secured credit facilities are based on EBITDA, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of those facilities.
In evaluating EBITDA, management considers, among other things, the amount by which EBITDA exceeds interest costs for the period, how EBITDA compares to principal repayments on outstanding debt for the period and how EBITDA compares to capital expenditures for the period. Management believes many investors, lenders and financial analysts evaluate EBITDA for similar purposes. To evaluate EBITDA, the components of EBITDA, such as net sales and operating expenses and the variability of such components over time, should also be considered.
Accordingly, we believe that the inclusion of EBITDA in this report permits a more comprehensive analysis of our liquidity relative to other companies and our ability to service debt requirements. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA identically, the presentation of EBITDA in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for, and should be considered together with, net cash flows provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table reconciles EBITDA to net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the U.S. GAAP measure most comparable to EBITDA for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008.

| | | | | | | | |
EBITDA for the nine months ended September 26, 2008, when stated on comparable 2009 exchange rates, would have been $240.4 million. Net of this negative foreign currency impact, EBITDA increased by $4.9 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to increased gross profit arising from pricing actions and a favorable reduction in certain raw material costs, and decreases in our operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth, for the periods presented, information relating to our liquidity and capital resources as summarized from our consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated balance sheets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in millions) | | October 2, 2009 | | | September 26, 2008 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Net cash provided by (used in) used in operating activities | | $ | 101.7 | | | $ | 50.2 | | | $ | 51.5 | | | 102.7 | % |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | | | (54.0 | ) | | | 39.1 | | | | (93.1 | ) | | -238.2 | % |
Net cash used in financing activities | | | (22.3 | ) | | | (0.6 | ) | | | (21.7 | ) | | -3445.1 | % |

Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 128.6 | | | $ | 107.8 | | | $ | 20.8 | | | 19.3 | % |
Working capital(2) | | | 537.9 | | | | 438.9 | | | | 99.0 | | | 22.6 | % |
Total debt | | | 1,099.3 | | | | 1,081.8 | | | | 17.5 | | | 1.6 | % |
| (1) | Includes expenditures for capitalized computer software. |
| (2) | Working capital is defined as net accounts receivable, plus inventories less accounts payable (including related party receivables and payables). |
| • | | The increase in cash and cash equivalents at October 2, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 resulted primarily from cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by approximately $59.0 million in capital expenditures and $22.0 million in dividends paid. |
| • | | The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a decrease in operating working capital requirements (after excluding the impact of |
42
| related party receivables and payables), and proceeds from the implementation of the securitization program in Europe. This was partially offset by a greater use of cash resulting from changes in other assets and liabilities. |
| • | | The decrease in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from divestitures, related to the divestiture of the Auto-Chlor business in February 2008 and the divestiture of the DuBois business in September 2008. This was partially offset by lower capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Our investments tend to be in dosing and feeder equipment with new and existing customer accounts as well as ongoing expenditures in information technology and manufacturing. |
| • | | The increase in cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 compared to the prior period was due to lower proceeds from short term borrowings. |
| • | | Working capital increased by $99.0 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2009. This includes the reclassification of related party receivables of $84.1 million and related party payables of $30.0 million as discussed in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements. Excluding the effect of this reclassification, working capital increased by $44.9 million. This increase primarily resulted from an $18.7 million increase in inventories and a decrease of $25.1 million in accounts payable. The increase in inventories is a result of a seasonal build in inventory levels. The decrease in accounts payable is due to a number of factors, including taking advantage of negotiated discounts with vendors driven by our global strategic sourcing initiative in combination with generally lower levels of discretionary spend within SG&A. |
Restricted Cash.In December 2008, the Company transferred $49.5 million to irrevocable trusts for the settlement of obligations associated with the November 2005 Restructuring Plan, a majority of which it expects to utilize during fiscal year 2009. As of October 2, 2009, we had a balance of $22.1 million classified as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheets.
Debt and Contractual Obligations. As a result of the DiverseyLever acquisition, we have a significant amount of indebtedness. On May 3, 2002, in connection with the acquisition, we issued senior subordinated notes and entered into a $1.2 billion senior secured credit facility. We used the proceeds from the sale of the senior subordinated notes and initial borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities, together with other available funds, to finance the cash portion of the purchase price for the DiverseyLever business and the related fees and expenses and to refinance then-existing indebtedness.
The senior secured credit facilities were amended and restated in December 2005. The amended facilities, among other things, permit the global restructuring under the November 2005 Plan and modify the financial covenants contained in our previous credit facilities. The amended facilities consist of a revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $175 million, including a letter of credit sub-limit of $50 million and a swingline loan sub-limit of $30 million, that matures on December 16, 2010, as well as a term loan facility that matures on December 16, 2011. In addition, the amended facilities include a committed delayed draw term facility of up to $100 million, which was fully drawn on July 14, 2006. The amended facilities also provide for an increase in the revolving credit facility of up to $25 million under specified circumstances. As of October 2, 2009, we had no borrowing and $4.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the revolving portion of the senior secured credit facilities and therefore had the ability to borrow $170.2 million under those revolving facilities.
As of October 2, 2009, we had total indebtedness of $1.1 billion, consisting of $627.0 million of senior subordinated notes, $425.4 million of borrowings under the existing senior secured credit facilities, $8.4 million of other long-term borrowings, $38.5 million in other short-term credit lines and $4.8 million committed under letters of credit. As of October 2, 2009, we also had $178.7 million in operating lease commitments and $2.5 million in capital lease commitments.
We believe that the cash flows from continuing operations, including the effects of divestitures made as part of the November 2005 Plan, together with available cash, borrowings available under our senior secured credit facilities, and the proceeds from our

receivables securitization facility will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including those related to the November 2005 Plan. We do not expect the divestitures of the Polymer Business and other businesses, made as part of the November 2005 Plan and included as part of continuing and discontinued operations, to significantly affect our future liquidity or our ability to meet our debt service obligations. With regards to the divestitures of the DuBois and Auto-Chlor businesses, we anticipate that the operational expense savings from the disposition of these businesses and the use of the proceeds from the divestitures in further restructuring and cost savings initiatives will largely offset the cash flows that would have been generated by these businesses.
We have obligations related to our pension and post-retirement plans that are discussed in detail in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements. As of the most recent actuarial estimation, we anticipate making $40.9 million of contributions to pension plans in fiscal year 2009. Post-retirement medical claims are paid as they are submitted and are anticipated to be $4.7 million in fiscal year 2009.
Our operations are subject to volatility because of currency fluctuations, inflation changes and changes in political and economic conditions in the countries where we conduct business. Sales and expenses are frequently denominated in local currencies, and results of operations may be affected adversely as currency fluctuations affect product prices and operating costs. Consequently, we engage in hedging activities, including forward foreign exchange contracts, to reduce the exposure of our cash flows to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. See Notes 12 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements for gains and losses associated with these contracts.
Contemplated Recapitalization.As more fully discussed in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements, on October 7, 2009, our Company, Holdings and Holdco entered into a series of agreements (all of which we refer to as the Transactions), principally designed to recapitalize the Company and Holdings. As part of the Transactions, we will use the cash equity investment from CD&R Investor to redeem substantially all of Unilever’s equity interests, restructure existing debt and pay transaction fees. The closing of the Transactions is subject to the successful refinancing of the outstanding debt of Holdings and its subsidiaries, including the Company, on terms acceptable to each of CD&R Investor, Holdco and Holdings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The Company accounts for its accounts receivable securitization arrangements as a sale under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 860 Transfers and Servicing.
We and certain of our subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the “Receivables Facility”) in March 2001, as amended, whereby we and each participating subsidiary sell, on a continuous basis, certain trade receivables to JWPR Corporation (“JWPRC”), our wholly owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. JWPRC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by us and certain of our subsidiaries party to the Receivables Facility. JWPRC, in turn, sells an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to non-consolidated financial institutions (the “Conduits”) for an amount equal to the value of all eligible receivables (as defined under the receivables sale agreement between JWPRC and the Conduits) less the applicable reserve. As of October 2, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the size of our Receivables Facility for securitization was $50 million and $75 million, respectively.
In July 2009, the Company amended the Receivables Facility to allow for the repurchase of receivables relating to the Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom and extend the maturity of the program through July 14, 2010. This amendment reduced the total potential for securitization under the Receivables Facility from $75 million to $50 million.
As of October 2, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Conduits held $29.5 million and $43.7 million, respectively, of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in our consolidated balance sheets.
As of October 2, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had a retained interest of $46.0 million and $74.7 million, respectively, in the receivables of JWPRC. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value.
For the quarter ended October 2, 2009, JWPRC’s cost of borrowing under the Receivables Facility was at a weighted average rate of 3.31% per annum.
44
On September 8, 2009, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into agreements (the “European Receivables Facility”) to sell, on a continuous basis, certain trade receivables originated in the United Kingdom, France and Spain to JDER Limited (“JDER”), a wholly-owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. JDER was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables originated by subsidiaries subject to the European Receivables Facility. JDER will sell an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to a nonconsolidated financial institution (the “European Conduit”) for an amount equal to the value of the eligible receivables less the applicable reserve. The total amount available for securitization of trade receivables under the European Receivables Facility is € 50 million. The maturity date of the European Receivables Facility is September 8, 2012.
As of October 2, 2009, the European Conduit held $53.8 million of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
As of October 2, 2009, the Company had a retained interest of $77.1 in the receivables of JDER. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at estimated fair value.
For the quarter ended October 2, 2009, JDER’s cost of borrowing under the European Receivables Facility was at a weighted average rate of 2.45% per annum.
The net amount of trade receivables at any time outstanding under these and any other securitization facility that we may enter into may not exceed $200 million in the aggregate.
Measurement of income tax reserve position. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, we expect to increase income tax reserve liabilities by $6.9 million, resulting in total income tax reserve liabilities of $77.5 million. Total income tax reserve liabilities for which payments are expected in less than one year are $7.8 million. We are not able to provide a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payments relating to non-current income tax reserve liabilities.
Financial Covenants under Our Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Under the amended terms of our senior secured credit facilities, we are subject to certain financial covenants. We remain well within our financial covenants under our senior secured credit facilities, even as the global economy has been greatly affected by the ongoing credit crisis with many lenders and institutional investors ceasing to provide funding to even the most credit-worthy borrowers. We continue to believe that we are effectively positioned to deal with the current crisis: however, we are not able to predict how much more severe the crisis may become and how it may affect our business or our customers’ businesses going forward. A further weakening in the global economy may affect a number of our end-users who may reduce the volume of their purchases from us during economic downturns. This would likely have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We continue to monitor economic conditions closely and pursue cost saving opportunities through our restructuring program and other cost reduction initiatives as well as growth opportunities through certain strategic investments and innovations.
The financial covenants under our senior secured credit facilities require us to meet the following targets and ratios.
Maximum Leverage Ratio. We are required to maintain a leverage ratio for each financial covenant period of no more than the maximum ratio specified in the senior secured credit facilities for that financial covenant period. The maximum leverage ratio is the ratio of (1) our consolidated indebtedness (excluding up to $55 million of indebtedness incurred under our Receivables Facility and indebtedness relating to specified interest rate hedge agreements) as of the last day of a financial covenant period using a weighted-average exchange rate for the relevant fiscal three-month period to (2) our consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facilities, for that same financial covenant period.
45
The senior secured credit facilities require that we maintain a leverage ratio of no more than the ratio set forth below for each of the financial covenant periods ending nearest the corresponding date set forth below:
| | |
| | Maximum Leverage Ratio |
September 30, 2009 | | 3.75 to 1 |
December 31, 2009 | | 3.75 to 1 |
March 31, 2010 | | 3.75 to 1 |
June 30, 2010 | | 3.75 to 1 |
September 30, 2010 and thereafter | | 3.50 to 1 |
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio.We are required to maintain an interest coverage ratio for each financial covenant period of no less than the minimum ratio specified in the senior secured credit facilities for that financial covenant period. The minimum interest coverage ratio is the ratio of (1) our consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facilities, for a financial covenant period to (2) our cash interest expense for the same financial covenant period.
The senior secured credit facilities require that we maintain an interest coverage ratio of no less than the ratio set forth below for each of the financial covenant periods ending nearest the corresponding date set for the below:
| | |
| | Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio |
September 30, 2009 | | 2.75 to 1 |
December 31, 2009 | | 2.75 to 1 |
March 31, 2010 | | 2.75 to 1 |
June 30, 2010 | | 2.75 to 1 |
September 30, 2010 and thereafter | | 3.00 to 1 |
Compliance with Maximum Leverage Ratio and Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. For our financial covenant period ended on October 2, 2009, we were in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants contained in the senior secured credit facilities.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures are limited under the senior secured credit facilities to $130 million per fiscal year. To the extent that we make capital expenditures of less than the limit in any fiscal year, however, we may carry forward into the subsequent year the difference between the limit and the actual amount we expended, provided that the amounts we carry forward from the previous year will be allocated to capital expenditures in the current fiscal year only after the amount allocated to the current fiscal year is exhausted. As of October 2, 2009, we were in compliance with the limitation on capital expenditures for fiscal year 2009.
Restructuring Charges. The senior secured credit facilities limit the amount of cash payments (i) arising in connection with the November 2005 Plan at any time from fiscal year 2006 through the end of fiscal year 2009 to $355 million in the aggregate and (ii) arising in connection with permitted divestitures at any time from fiscal year 2006 through the end of fiscal year 2008 to $45 million. As of October 2, 2009, we were in compliance with the limitation on spending for restructuring and permitted divestiture-related activities.
In addition, the senior secured credit facilities contain covenants that restrict our ability to declare dividends and to redeem and repurchase capital stock. The senior secured credit facilities also limit our ability to incur additional liens, engage in sale-leaseback transactions and incur additional indebtedness and make investments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no significant changes to our market risk since December 31, 2008. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of JohnsonDiversey’s Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”). The controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).
CEO & CFO Certifications. Attached as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this quarterly report are certifications of the CEO and the CFO required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This portion of our quarterly report includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will provide an attestation report regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with the issuance of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.
Disclosure Controls.As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our Disclosure Controls are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, and that information is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 2, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and 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, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
47
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business which may, from time to time, include product liability, intellectual property, contract, environmental and tax claims as well as government or regulatory agency inquiries or investigations. We believe that, taking into account our insurance and reserves and the valid defenses with respect to legal matters currently pending against us, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1 A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors update and supersede some of the risk factors included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and relate mainly to the Transactions.
Risks Relating to the Transactions
We may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions.
We believe that our success depends, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions and our new association with CD&R. These anticipated benefits include: (1) the receipt by Holdings of cash necessary to redeem substantially all of Unilever’s equity interests in Holdings, (2) the refinancing of substantially all of our and Holdings’ existing indebtedness and (3) the opportunity to partner operationally with CD&R, an investor that has extensive knowledge in the distribution and services business. If we are unable to realize these anticipated benefits in accordance with management’s expectations, our ability to compete in the markets that we serve may be materially impaired.
We may not be able to refinance our and Holdings’ indebtedness on acceptable terms, which is a condition to consummating the Transactions. Even if we and Holdings are able to refinance that indebtedness, the agreements governing the new indebtedness could contain significant restrictions that limit our operating and financial flexibility.
Among other conditions, the consummation of the Transactions is subject to the successful refinancing of the outstanding debt of Holdings and its subsidiaries, including us, on terms acceptable to each of CD&R Investor, Holdco and Holdings. If we or Holdings are unable to refinance our outstanding indebtedness on acceptable terms, we may not be able to consummate the Transactions and thereby realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions, including our new association with CD&R, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
In addition, even if we are able to refinance our and Holdings’ outstanding indebtedness on acceptable terms, the terms of the agreements governing the new indebtedness could contain restrictions that significantly limit our operating and financial flexibility and our ability to engage in activities that may be in our best interests. If we fail to comply with the restrictions contained in the agreements governing the new indebtedness and are unable to obtain a waiver or amendment, or if a default were to exist and continue, our lenders or noteholders, as the case may be, could declare outstanding borrowings immediately due and payable or seek acceleration of our or Holdings’ new notes. Our ability to comply with these restrictions may be affected by events beyond our control, and any material deviations from our forecasts could require us to seek waivers or amendments of covenants, alternative sources of financing or reduce expenditures. We cannot assure you that such waivers, amendments or alternative financing could be obtained, or if obtained, would be on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to comply with the terms of the agreements governing our and Holdings’ new indebtedness or, if it becomes necessary, to obtain such waivers, amendments or alternative financing, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
The consummation of the Transactions is subject to our obtaining certain regulatory approvals and clearances, and any delays in obtaining such regulatory approvals and clearances may be costly and could prevent the consummation of the Transactions.
In order to consummate the Transactions, we believe that we must obtain certain regulatory approvals and clearances, including obtaining clearance under the competition laws of the European Union. We have completed the filing of applications and notifications to obtain the required regulatory approvals and clearances and are working closely with applicable regulators to obtain such approvals and clearances on a timely basis.
If we are unable to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals and clearances on a timely basis, or at all, we may incur significant costs and could be prevented from consummating the Transactions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
48
CD&R Investor and Holdco may have conflicts of interest with us in the future.
Following the completion of the Transactions, and assuming the exercise of the Warrant, CD&R Investor will own approximately 45.9% of the outstanding class A common stock of Holdings, our parent company, and Holdco, together with SNW, will own approximately 50.1% of the outstanding class A common stock of Holdings. Pursuant to the stockholders agreement to be entered into at the Closing, each of CD&R Investor and Holdco will have the right to designate five of Holdings’ eleven directors, Holdco will have the right to designate the chairman of Holdings’ board of directors and CD&R Investor will have the right to designate the chairman of Holdings’ executive committee. In each case, CD&R Investor or Holdco will have these rights so long as it, together with its permitted transferees and permitted assignees of equity purchase rights, owns a specified percentage of Holdings’ class A common stock. As a result, CD&R Investor and Holdco will be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions. See Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements.
In addition, under the certificate of incorporation of Holdings as it will be amended pursuant to the Transactions, Holdings and its subsidiaries, including us, will be prohibited from taking specified corporate actions without the prior approval of Holdings’ board of directors, CD&R Investor and Holdco. Each of CD&R Investor and Holdco will have this approval right for so long as it owns a specified percentage of Holdings’ class A common stock. Accordingly, either CD&R Investor or Holdco will be able to prevent our entry into specified transactions or taking specified actions, even if the transaction or action is otherwise beneficial to our company. The interests of CD&R Investor or Holdco may differ from those of our company in material respects. For example, either CD&R Investor or Holdco may have an interest in Holdings or its subsidiaries, including us, pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment in Holdings, even though such transactions might involve risks to our company.
In addition, CD&R Investor’s affiliates are in the business of making investments in companies, and may from time to time in the future acquire interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers of our customers, subject to restrictions in the stockholders agreement. Also, either CD&R Investor or Holdco may determine that the disposition of some or all of its interests in our company would be beneficial to it at a time when such disposition could be detrimental to our company.
Further, CD&R Investor’s and Holdco’s ownership of our company following the Closing may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire control of our company.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our relationship with SCJ is important to our future operations.
We are party to various agreements with SCJ, including a license agreement (as expected to be amended and restated in connection with the Transactions, the “Brand License Agreement” or the “BLA”), a technology disclosure and license agreement (the “TDLA”), supply and manufacturing agreements and several leases. Under the BLA, we are granted a license to sell certain SCJ-branded products and use specified trade names and housemarks incorporating “Johnson” (including “Johnson Wax Professional”) and the name “Johnson” in combination with our owned trade name “Diversey,” in the institutional and industrial channels of trade and, subject to certain limitations, in specified channels of trade in which both our business and SCJ’s consumer business operate, which we refer to as the “cross-over” channels of trade. After the expected transition of our name from “JohnsonDiversey” to “Diversey” and our ceasing to use the “JohnsonDiversey” housemark, we will have additional rights, subject to certain limitations, to sell products in the cross-over channels of trade. Our sales in these channels of trade have historically been significant.
Under the TDLA, SCJ has granted us the right to use specified technology of SCJ. In addition, we lease our principal manufacturing facilities in Sturtevant, Wisconsin from SCJ. If we default under the BLA or TDLA and if either agreement is terminated, we will no longer be able to use the Johnson name or the technology of SCJ. Furthermore, SCJ will then have the right to terminate the leases governing our manufacturing facilities in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. Finally, in some countries, we depend on SCJ to produce or sell some of our products. If our relationship with SCJ is damaged or severed, or if SCJ were to limit significantly our rights to sell some products in specified channels of trade, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Proposed future U.S. and Netherlands income tax legislation could result in an increase in our future tax liabilities.
The Obama Administration recently announced proposed future tax legislation that could substantially modify the rules governing the U.S. taxation of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. These potential changes include, but are not limited to: (1) limitations on the deferral of U.S. taxation of foreign earnings; (2) limitations on the ability to claim and utilize foreign tax credits; and (3) deferral of various U.S. tax deductions until non-U.S. earnings are repatriated to the United States. The Netherlands also published discussion documents that describe proposed future tax legislation that could substantially modify the rules governing income tax deductions for interest expense claimed by a Netherlands entity. Many details of the above proposals remain unknown, although if any of these proposals are enacted into law they could result in an increase in our future tax liabilities.
Future changes of indirect ownership of our company could result in an increase in our future tax liabilities.
Under existing U.S. tax law, if there is an ownership change with respect to a corporation, as defined in Section 382 of the Code, a limitation generally will be imposed on usage of certain U.S. tax attributes of such corporation (such as tax loss and credit carryforwards) at the time of the ownership change. Given the projected U.S. income tax position of our company, we currently do not expect that a limitation under Section 382 of the Code would have a material effect on our future tax liabilities. However, if circumstances change or differ from our projections, then an ownership change with respect to our company could result in an increase in our future tax liabilities.
We are subject to taxation in multiple jurisdictions. As a result, any adverse development in the tax laws of any of these jurisdictions or any disagreement with our tax positions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of our operations.
We are subject to taxation in, and to the tax laws and regulations of, multiple jurisdictions as a result of the international scope of our operations and our corporate and financing structure. We are also subject to transfer pricing laws with respect to our intercompany transactions, including those relating to the flow of funds among our companies. Adverse developments in these laws or regulations, or any change in position regarding the application, administration or interpretation thereof, in any applicable jurisdiction, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of our operations. In addition, the tax authorities in any applicable jurisdiction, including the United States, may disagree with the positions we have taken or intend to take regarding the tax treatment or characterization of any of our transactions. If any applicable tax authorities, including U.S. tax authorities, were to successfully challenge the tax treatment or characterization of any of our transactions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of our operations.
The benefits from changing our company’s name to “Diversey, Inc.” may not be realized on a timely basis, or at all.
We have chosen to rename our company “Diversey, Inc.” in connection with the Closing in light of the strong brand equity we believe the Diversey name has in major markets. Based on the results of customer research, we are also changing our tag line with the intention of more effectively targeting our brand to customers in the marketplace. Although we believe that changing our company’s name and tag line will enhance our marketing capabilities, there can be no assurance that the benefits of these changes will be realized on a timely basis, or at all.
49
Our ability to compete effectively with other companies depends, in part, on our ability to sustain our brand equity. If we are unable to sustain the proprietary nature of our brand equity and our significant current or proposed products, we may experience decreased sales or increased operating costs, either of which would decrease our liquidity and profitability.
A relocation of our primary U.S. manufacturing facility could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We manufacture a significant portion of the products we sell. In connection with the Transactions, our various operating agreements with SCJ, including our lease of SCJ’s Waxdale manufacturing facility, will be amended. As amended, the lease will expire three years and six months from the Closing, and we do not expect that the lease will be renewed after expiration. Accordingly, we will need to acquire or build our own production facility. The costs of acquiring or building a new production facility could be significant. While we have extensive experience in restructuring value chain operations, this relocation may pose significant risks, which could include:
| • | | the risk that we may be unable to integrate successfully the relocated manufacturing operations; |
| • | | the risk that we may be unable to coordinate management and integrate and retain employees of the relocated manufacturing operations; |
| • | | the risk that we may face difficulties in implementing and maintaining consistent standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems; |
| • | | the risk that we may fail to realize anticipated synergies, economies of scale or other anticipated benefits, or to maintain operating margins; |
| • | | potential strains on our personnel, systems and resources, and diversion of attention from other priorities; and |
| • | | any unforeseen or contingent liabilities of the relocated manufacturing operations. |
