COLEMAN CABLE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Coleman Cable, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules or regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 – “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU No. 2011-04”)
ASU No. 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2012, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”)
ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2012. The Company has presented comprehensive income using two separate financial statements for 2012.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU No. 2011-08”)
ASU No. 2011-08 amends existing guidance by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2012, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
8
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 – “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU No. 2011-11”)
ASU No. 2011-11 amends existing guidance by enhancing disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 201-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. ASU No. 2011-11 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-11 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 – “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU No. 2012-04”)
ASU No. 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair value measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The amendments that were effective immediately and the adoption of amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
3. ACQUISITIONS
2012 Acquisition – Watteredge
On May 31, 2012, Coleman, through a 100%-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of most of the operating assets (and assumed certain liabilities) of Watteredge, Inc., an Ohio corporation that designs, manufactures and sells secondary power connectors, including electric arc furnace cables, resistance welding cables, industrial high-performance copper bus and accessories, and other high performance power conduction devices and accessories. Watteredge serves the steel, chemical, chlorine, power generation, fiberglass and automotive industries and sells its products and services worldwide. Coleman retained Watteredge’s workforce and has continued all of Watteredge’s production at its current manufacturing plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. We believe the acquisition of Watteredge strengthens and provides for greater diversification of our overall portfolio.
The acquisition of the assets of Watteredge, whose sales were nearly $25,000 for 2011, was structured as an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $33,922 (equal to a $35,000 preliminary purchase price adjusted by a $1,078 working capital adjustment). The transaction was funded with proceeds from Coleman's existing credit facility. Watteredge has been included as a component of our Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.
2011 Acquisitions
During the second quarter of 2011, we utilized cash on hand, as well as borrowings under our existing credit facility to complete three business combination transactions (collectively, the “2011 Acquisitions”), as set forth below. Each of these 2011 Acquisitions was structured as an all-cash transaction, with aggregate consideration totaling $68,900. As discussed below, $2,331 of the TRC (as defined below) consideration consisted of our previously existing ownership interest.
Acquisition of the Assets of The Designers Edge (“DE”)
On April 1, 2011, we acquired certain assets of DE, a leading designer and distributor of specialty lighting products in the U.S. and Canada. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily trade receivables and merchandise inventories, was $10,092. The acquisition of DE’s assets significantly expanded our product portfolio across a wide range of lighting product categories, including industrial, work and utility, as well as products for security and landscape applications. We fully integrated the acquired assets of DE into our existing Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.
Acquisition of the Assets of First Capitol Wire and Cable (“FCWC”) and Continental Wire and Cable (“CWC”)
On April 29, 2011, we acquired the assets of FCWC and CWC, both of which were privately-held entities based in York, Pennsylvania, with CWC being a 100%-owned subsidiary of FCWC. These two entities are leading manufacturers of industrial wire
9
and cable products used across a number of commercial, utility and industrial end-markets. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily merchandise inventories and production equipment, was $7,298. The acquisition of the assets of FCWC and CWC allowed us to expand our capabilities, product offerings and capacity for producing a wide assortment of high-quality industrial cables. We fully integrated the assets of FCWC and CWC into our existing operations during the second quarter of 2011.
Acquisition of Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”)
On May 16, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of TRC, pursuant to a merger agreement under which each outstanding share of TRC common stock was converted into the right to receive $7.20 per share payable in cash. TRC is a recognized leader in providing cost effective engineered solutions for applications involving power management and control, intelligent battery systems technology and electrical safety products based on proven ground fault sensing andFire Shield® technology. These products are designed, manufactured and distributed to the consumer, commercial and industrial markets worldwide. TRC also supplies power monitors and control equipment to the United States military and its prime contractors. We believe the TRC acquisition both strengthens and diversifies our overall portfolio. The total purchase price consideration for TRC was $51,510, including the acquisition-date fair value of an approximate 4.8% interest in TRC’s common stock acquired by Coleman prior to submitting its acquisition proposal for TRC.
We integrated a portion of TRC’s legacy business into our Distribution segment during 2011. The remainder of TRC’s legacy business, its military and specialty vehicle business, is a component of the Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.
As noted above, our pre-existing 4.8% interest in TRC was accounted for as a component of the overall purchase price for TRC. Accordingly, using the tender offer price of $7.20 per share, the value of this component of total consideration was $2,331, with the difference between this calculated fair value and our cost basis in the 4.8% pre-existing interest recognized as a $753 gain in our condensed consolidated statement of income at the time of the acquisition in accordance with the applicable accounting rules.
Each of the above acquisitions has been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements, including our results of operations, beginning from each respective acquisition date. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes the full impact of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the 2011 Acquisitions, but only three and four months, respectively, of results for Watteredge. The condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes three and six months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the DE acquisition, approximately three and five months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the FCWC and CWC acquisition, and approximately three and four and one half months of operations related to TRC.
We incurred acquisition-related costs, including outside legal, consulting and other fees, of $77 and $443 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. We incurred acquisition-related costs, including outside legal, consulting and other fees, of $223 and $2,801 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. These costs have been recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Purchase Price Allocations
Each of the above acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.Accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price for each acquisition to the net assets acquired based on the related estimated fair values at each respective acquisition date. The expected long-term growth, increased market position and expected synergies to be generated from the acquisitions are the primary factors which gave rise to acquisition prices for each of the acquisitions which resulted in the recognition of goodwill.
The purchase price allocations for TRC, FCWC and CWC were finalized in 2011. At the end of the first quarter of 2012, we finalized our purchase accounting for DE as certain purchase price and other matters relative to this acquisition were resolved. As a result, the total purchase price was lowered by $833, with a corresponding reduction in the goodwill recorded with respect to this acquisition. The purchase price allocation for Watteredge was finalized during the third quarter of 2012, which resulted in an additional deferred tax asset of $170, an increase in purchase price of $248, and a corresponding increase recorded to goodwill of $78 during the third quarter of 2012.
The table below summarizes the final allocations of purchase price related to the 2011 Acquisitions and Watteredge.

A total of approximately $16,900 of goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes of which $11,348 is attributable to Watteredge. All of the goodwill of DE, FCWC, and CWC has been assigned to our Distribution segment. TRC goodwill has been allocated between our Distribution and Engineered Solutions segments. Watteredge goodwill has been allocated to our Engineered Solutions segment.

Unaudited Selected Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes our estimated combined results of operations assuming that our only material business combination consummated, TRC, which was acquired during the second quarter of 2011, had taken place on January 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma combined results of operations were prepared using historical financial information of TRC, and we make no representation with respect to the accuracy of such information. The pro forma combined results of operations reflect adjustments for interest expense, depreciation adjustments based on the fair value of acquired property, plant and equipment, amortization of acquired identifiable intangible assets, income tax expense, and excludes acquisition costs. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and does not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of integration, nor do they purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition of TRC occurred on the date indicated or may result in the future.

4. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
We incurred restructuring costs of $959 and $1,314 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Most notably, during the third quarter of 2012, we recorded $950 in severance, equipment moving and other closing costs incurred in connection with the closure of our manufacturing facility in Texarkana, Arkansas. As planned, we ceased all production at this facility in July of 2012 and operations of this facility have been moved to other existing manufacturing facilities.
We incurred restructuring costs of $1,061 and $1,256 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Most notably, during the third quarter of 2011, we recorded $857 in severance costs for positions eliminated in connection with our realignment of our Canadian distribution and support operations. As part of this realignment, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, we vacated our then-existing Toronto-based distribution and headquarters facility, with a majority of our Canadian distribution being transitioned to our existing distribution facility in Wisconsin and a new, smaller Toronto-based distribution facility.
11
Our restructuring reserve was $1,600 as of September 30, 2012, recorded within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, with the majority of the total balance in the reserve representing our estimate of the remaining liability existing relative to one closed property under lease and which is equal to our remaining obligation under such lease reduced by estimated sublease rental income reasonably expected for the property. Accordingly, the liability may be increased or decreased in future periods as facts and circumstances change, including possible negotiation of a lease termination, sublease agreement, or changes in the related market in which the property is located.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On August 4, 2011, we entered into a new $250,000, five-year revolving credit facility agreement, with an accordion feature that allows us to increase our borrowings by an additional $50,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility replaced a $200,000 revolving credit facility which was scheduled to expire in April of 2012. The Revolving Credit Facility, which expires on October 1, 2016, is an asset-based loan facility, with a $20,000 Canadian facility sublimit, and which is secured by substantially all of our assets, as further detailed below. We incurred $1,500 in fees and direct costs related to negotiating the Revolving Credit Facility. These respective fees and costs are being amortized over the life of the revolver. At September 30, 2012, we had $74,370 in borrowings under the facility, with $126,937 in remaining excess availability. At December 31, 2011, we had $30,000 in borrowings under the credit facility, with $120,288 in remaining excess availability. The $74,370 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility approximates fair value of such debt at September 30, 2012 (Level 2).
12
The interest rate charged on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on our election of either the base rate (greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the lender’s prime rate) plus a range of 0.25% to 0.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 1.50% to 2.00%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we pay an unused line fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% based on quarterly average excess availability pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge covenant ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30,000. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $250,000 or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 70% of eligible inventory, with a maximum amount of borrowing-base availability which may be generated from inventory of $150,000 for the U.S. portion and $12,000 Canadian for the Canadian portion, and an advance rate to be 75% of certain appraised real estate and 85% of certain appraised equipment and capped at $62,500, with a $15,000 sublimit for letters of credit.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by CCI International Inc. (“CCI International”), TRC (excluding TRC’s 100%-owned foreign subsidiary, TRC Honduras, S.A. de C.V.), Patco Electronics (“Patco”), and Watteredge, each of which are 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of CCI International, TRC, Patco, and Watteredge, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of CCI International, TRC, Patco and Watteredge and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.
As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.
9% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Senior Notes”)
Our Senior Notes were issued at a discount in 2010, resulting in proceeds of less than par value. This discount is being amortized to par value over the remaining term of the Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Senior Notes.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of restricted stock, as such awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund the Company’s losses, and therefore, participating securities are not allocated a portion of these losses in periods where a net loss is recorded. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the impact of participating securities on net income allocated to common shareholders and the dilutive effect of share-based awards outstanding on weighted average shares outstanding was as follows:

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for its directors, executives and certain key employees under which the grant of stock options and other share-based awards is authorized. We recorded $457 and $1,169 in stock compensation expense (income) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $(739) and $2,781 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The wide fluctuations in stock-based compensation expense (income) recorded for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, are a function of the accounting required for the cash-settled portion of our performance-based share awards, as further explained below under “Stock Awards.”
Stock Options
No stock options were issued during the first nine months of 2012.
Changes in stock options were as follows for the period from January 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012:
14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Shares | | | Weighted-Average Exercise Price | | | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Terms | | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |

Outstanding September 30, 2012 | | | 1,388 | | | | 11.09 | | | | 5.1 | | | | 2,581 | |
Vested or expected to vest | | | 1,372 | | | | 11.17 | | | | 5.0 | | | | 2,494 | |
Exercisable | | | 517 | | | | 5.66 | | | | 6.1 | | | | 1,988 | |
Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the stock option. When the current market value is less than the exercise price, there is no aggregate intrinsic value.
Stock Awards
In January 2012, the Company awarded unvested common shares to members of its Board of Directors. In total, non-management board members were awarded 55 unvested shares with an approximate aggregate fair value of $500. One-third of the shares vest on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. These awarded shares are participating securities which provide the recipient with both voting rights and, to the extent dividends, if any, are paid by the Company, non-forfeitable dividend rights with respect to such shares.
Changes in nonvested shares for the first nine months of 2012 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Shares | | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value | |
Nonvested at January 1, 2012 | | | 682 | | | $ | 4.28 | |
Granted | | | 55 | | | | 9.06 | |
Vested | | | (179 | ) | | | 4.16 | |
Forfeited | | | — | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
Nonvested at September 30, 2012 | | | 558 | | | $ | 4.79 | |
In the first quarter of 2010, 517 performance shares were granted, which are convertible to stock, on a one-to-one basis, contingent upon future stock price performance. If, at any time up to ten years after the date of grant, the Company’s common stock attains three separate incrementally increasing stock price goals beginning with a price representing approximately 350% of the average stock price on the date of grant, a portion of the awards will vest. On July 7, 2011, the first tranche of shares reached their vesting price. As a result, 117 shares of common stock were issued on the respective date.
In addition, in the first quarter of 2010, 258 performance shares were granted, which are settled in cash rather than stock. If, at any time up to ten years after the date of grant, the Company’s common stock attains three separate incrementally increasing stock price goals beginning with a price representing approximately 350% of the average stock price on the date of grant, a portion of the awards will vest. On July 7, 2011, the first tranche of these shares reached their vesting price. Accordingly, the equivalent of 58 shares of common stock were paid in cash on the respective date. The cash-settled shares are re-measured each balance sheet date using a Monte Carlo model and recorded as a liability. Any increase in the value of such awards followed by a subsequent decrease will result in the reversal of stock compensation expense, as was the case in the third quarter of 2011. During the third quarter, these cash-settled shares were measured using an assumption of 86.2% volatility, and a risk-free rate of 1.12%, resulting in an estimated aggregate fair value of approximately $2,660, which is recorded to the stock compensation liability over the estimated derived service period (also estimated using a Monte Carlo model), which was approximately 0.7 years as of September 30, 2012.
Treasury Stock
On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 500 shares of the Company’s common stock in open market or privately-negotiated transactions. The repurchase plan expires in August 2013. To date, we have purchased 390 shares pursuant to this repurchase program. There can be no assurance that any additional share purchases will be made. The number of shares actually purchased in future periods will depend on various factors, including limitations imposed by the Company’s debt instruments, the price of our common stock, overall market and business conditions, and management’s assessment of competing alternatives for capital deployment. We repurchased 38 and 70 shares at a total cost of $360 and $657, including commissions, of common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, including shares repurchased from employees of the Company that were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations due upon vesting of a restricted stock award.

Cash Dividends
On May 1, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per common share, payable on May 30, 2012, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2012. On August 2, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per common share, payable on August 31, 2012, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2012. The total amount paid for these dividends was $704.
On October 30, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per common share, payable on November 30, 2012, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2012. Future declarations of quarterly dividends are subject to approval of the Board of Directors and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.
10. RELATED PARTIES
We lease our corporate office facility from certain members of our Board of Directors and executive management, and we made rental payments of $105 and $311 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. We made rental payments of $103 and $371 for our corporate office facility for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. In addition, we leased three manufacturing facilities from an entity in which one of our executive officers has a minority interest, and we paid a total of $261 and $851 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. We purchased these three manufacturing facilities for $6,505 in the first quarter of 2012.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
We lease certain of our buildings, machinery and equipment under lease agreements that expire at various dates over the next ten years. Rental expense under operating leases was $1,297 and $3,925 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and was $1,618 and $4,695 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Legal Matters
We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980s for recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and groundwater at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation, with which the Company merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter from the EPA identifying it as a party potentially liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act for cleanup of the site.
In 2004, along with other “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs”), we entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action (“RD/RA”) for this site. We have entered into a Site Participation Agreement with the other PRPs for fulfillment of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Under the Site Participation Agreement, we are responsible for 9.19% share of the costs for the RD/RA. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had a $407 and $341 accrual, respectively, recorded for this liability.
Though no assurances are possible, we believe that our accruals related to the environmental litigation and other claims are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnity will be resolved without material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of our business we may become involved in legal proceedings and receive indemnity claims from customers, suppliers and other parties. These proceedings and claims may seek significant damages or other types of relief (such as billing set-offs) that, if adversely resolved, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or on our annual or quarterly financial results. We recently received an indemnity claim for $2,300 relating to a recent acquisition, which we believe lacks merit and is not payable by us. We believe that we have substantial and meritorious defenses to all currently pending matters. As a result of these and other factors and although no assurances are possible, our currently pending matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
12. DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper. From time-to-time, we enter into copper futures contracts to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We recognize all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We had no hedge positions at September 30, 2012 or 2011 to which hedge accounting was applied. Cash settlements related to derivatives are included in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The increase in our tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the same respective periods of 2011, primarily reflects an increase in our pre-tax income year-to-date in 2012 as well as a more favorable rate in 2011 resulting from certain one-time adjustments related to state and deferred taxes.
14. BENEFIT PLANS
Employee Savings Plan
We provide defined contribution savings plans for employees meeting certain age and service requirements. We currently make matching contributions for a portion of employee contributions to the plans. Including such matching contributions, we recorded expenses totaling $359 and $1,048 related to these savings plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. We recorded expense of $281 and $841 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Riblet Pension Plan
As a result of its merger with Riblet Products Corporation (“Riblet”) in 2000, the Company is responsible for a defined-benefit pension plan of Riblet. The Riblet plan was frozen in 1990 and no additional benefits have been earned by plan participants since that time. A total of 78 former employees of Riblet currently receive or may be eligible to receive future benefits under the plan. The Company does not expect to make any plan contributions in 2012. The net periodic income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $14 and $42, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, we incurred net periodic expense of $8 and $24, respectively.
15. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE
Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Inputs – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
17
As of the periods ending September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash and cash equivalents and derivatives.
We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including money market accounts, commercial paper, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations.
Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

16. OTHER LOSS, NET
We recorded other loss of $227 and $230 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, primarily reflecting the exchange rate impact on our Canadian subsidiary. We recorded other loss of $418 and $332 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, also reflecting the exchange rate impact.
17. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have three reportable segments: (1) Distribution, (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) and (3) Engineered Solutions (formerly “Other”). The Distribution segment serves our customers in distribution businesses, who are resellers of our products, while our OEM segment serves our OEM customers, who generally purchase more tailored products from us, which are used as inputs into subassemblies of manufactured finished goods. The Engineered Solutions segment, which was formerly reported as “Other,” contains that portion of TRC’s legacy business that has not been integrated into our Distribution segment, primarily TRC’s military and specialty vehicle business, as well as our Watteredge business, which was acquired in May 2012. The Other segment was re-labeled as our Engineered Solutions segment as a result of our having acquired Watteredge in May 2012 and management’s concurrent decision to report internally the collective operations of Watteredge and the non-integrated components of TRC. Therefore, the Engineered Solutions segment reflects the aggregation of immaterial other operating segments which produce highly engineered, customized product lines.
Financial data for the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

18
The net sales and operating income amounts for 2011 as set forth in the above table reflect an immaterial restatement to account for a change made in the fourth quarter of 2011 to integrate a portion of TRC’s business into our Distribution segment. Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary bonuses, professional fees, restructuring expenses, share-based compensation expense, and intangible amortization. Our Distribution and OEM and, in certain cases, our Engineered Solutions segment, share common production processes, and manufacturing and distribution capacity. Accordingly, we do not identify net assets to our segments. Similarly, depreciation expense is not allocated to segments, but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our numerous manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.
18. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
The Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility are instruments of the parent, and are reflected in their respective balance sheets. As of September 30, 2012, our payment obligations under the Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 7) were guaranteed by our 100% owned subsidiaries, CCI International, Inc., Patco, TRC (excluding TRC’s 100%-owned foreign subsidiary, TRC Honduras, S.A. de C.V.), and Watteredge (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Such guarantees are full, unconditional, and joint and several. The following unaudited supplemental financial information sets forth, on a combined basis, balance sheets, statements of income, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows for Coleman Cable, Inc. (“Parent”) and the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the condensed consolidated financial statements of Parent. The equity method of accounting is followed within this financial information.

ITEM 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described in this report under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report.
Overview
Coleman Cable, Inc. (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with production and distribution operations primarily in the U.S. and, to a lesser degree, in Honduras and Canada.
Raw materials, primarily copper, comprise the primary component of our cost of goods sold. The price of copper is particularly volatile, and fluctuations in copper prices can significantly affect our sales and profitability. The average copper price on the COMEX was $3.53 for the third quarter of 2012, as compared to $4.07 per pound for the third quarter of 2011, with the $0.54 decline representing a decrease of 13.3%.
2012 Acquisition – Watteredge (“WE”)
On May 31, 2012, Coleman completed the acquisition of most of the operating assets (and assumed certain liabilities) of WE, an Ohio corporation that designs, manufactures and sells secondary power connectors, including electric arc furnace cables, resistance welding cables, industrial high-performance copper bus and accessories, and other high performance power conduction devices and accessories. WE serves the steel, chemical, chlorine, power generation, fiberglass and automotive industries and sells its products and services worldwide. We believe the acquisition of WE strengthens and provides for greater diversification of our overall portfolio.
The acquisition of the assets of WE, whose sales were nearly $25.0 million in 2011, was structured as an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $33.9 million (equal to a $35.0 million preliminary purchase price adjusted by a $1.1 million working capital adjustment). The transaction was funded with proceeds from Coleman's existing credit facility. Coleman retained WE’s workforce and has continued all of WE’s production at its current manufacturing plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. WE has been included as a component of our Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.
2011 Acquisitions
During the second quarter of 2011, we utilized cash on hand, as well as borrowings under our credit facility to complete three business acquisitions (collectively, the “2011 Acquisitions”), as set forth below. Each of these 2011 Acquisitions was structured as a cash transaction, with aggregate consideration totaling $68.9 million. As further discussed below, we believe these acquisitions represent significant opportunities for us, including the strengthening and greater diversification of our overall portfolio.
Acquisition of the Assets of The Designers Edge (“DE”)
On April 1, 2011, we acquired certain assets of DE, a leading designer and distributor of specialty lighting products in the U.S. and Canada. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily trade receivables and merchandise inventories, was $10.1 million. The acquisition of DE’s assets significantly expanded our product portfolio across a wide range of lighting product categories, including industrial, work and utility, as well as products for security and landscape applications. We fully integrated the acquired assets of DE into our Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.
Acquisition of the Assets of First Capitol Wire and Cable (“FCWC”) and Continental Wire and Cable (“CWC”)
On April 29, 2011, we acquired the assets of FCWC and CWC, both of which were privately-held entities based in York, Pennsylvania, with CWC being a 100%-owned subsidiary of FCWC, which are leading manufacturers of industrial wire and cable products used across a number of commercial, utility and industrial end-markets. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily merchandise inventories and production equipment, was $7.3 million. The acquisition of the assets of FCWC and CWC has allowed us to expand our capabilities, product offerings and capacity for producing a wide assortment of high-quality industrial cables. We fully integrated the assets of FCWC and CWC into our Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.
28
Acquisition of Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”)
On May 16, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of TRC. TRC is a recognized leader in providing cost effective engineered solutions for applications involving power management and control, intelligent battery systems technology and electrical safety products based on proven ground fault sensing andFire Shield® technology. These products are designed, manufactured and distributed to the consumer, commercial and industrial markets worldwide. TRC also supplies power monitors and control equipment to the United States Military and its prime contractors. TRC was publicly traded on the NASDAQ prior to its acquisition by Coleman. We completed the TRC acquisition as the result of a successful public tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of TRC. The total purchase price consideration for TRC was approximately $51.5 million, including the acquisition-date fair value of an approximate 4.8% interest in TRC acquired by Coleman prior to submitting its acquisition proposal for TRC.
The Company believes TRC's sizable commercial and consumer products segment greatly broadens our current electrical products platform. In addition, TRC's battery, power storage, and power management systems, represent new product lines for Coleman.
TRC has maintained its current production facilities in Clearwater, FL, and Honduras. We integrated a portion of TRC’s legacy business into our Distribution segment during 2011. The remainder of TRC’s legacy business, TRC’s military and specialty vehicle business, is a component of the Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.
Purchase Price Allocations
Each of the above acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.Accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price for each acquisition to the net assets acquired based on the related estimated fair values at each respective acquisition date. The expected long-term growth, increased market position and expected synergies to be generated from the acquisitions are the primary factors which gave rise to acquisition prices for each of the acquisitions which resulted in the recognition of goodwill.
The purchase price allocations for TRC, FCWC and CWC were finalized in 2011. At the end of the first quarter of 2012, we finalized our purchase accounting for DE as certain purchase price and other matters relative to this acquisition were resolved. As a result, the total purchase price for DE was lowered by $0.8 million, with a corresponding reduction in the goodwill recorded in respect to this acquisition. The purchase price allocation for the WE acquisition was finalized during the third quarter of 2012.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Each of the above acquisitions has been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements, including our results of operations, beginning from each respective acquisition date. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes the full impact of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the 2011 Acquisitions, but only three and four months of results, respectively, for the assets acquired in connection with the WE acquisition. The condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes three and six months of operations, respectively, for the assets acquired in connection with the DE acquisition, approximately three and five months of operations, respectively, for the assets acquired in connection with the FCWC and CWC acquisition, and approximately three and four and 1/2 months of operations, respectively, related to TRC. The condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 does not include any operations for the assets acquired in connection with the WE acquisition.
In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures in assessing our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures used by management include: (1) EBITDA, which we define as net income before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), (2) Adjusted EBITDA, which is our measure of EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of certain specifically identified items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and (3) Adjusted earnings per share, which we calculate as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EPS”). For the periods presented in this report, the specifically identified items include restructuring charges, gain on available for sale securities, share-based compensation expense, and acquisition-related costs.
We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We use these measures in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and in determining levels of operating and capital investments. We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. The usefulness of both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures is limited by the fact that they both exclude the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and taxes. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use either EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as the only measures of our performance. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Finally, other companies may define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures of other companies.
29
Similarly, we believe our use of Adjusted EPS provides an appropriate measure to use in assessing our performance across periods given that this measure provides an adjustment for certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period. However, we do not, and do not recommend that you, solely use Adjusted EPS to assess our financial and earnings performance. We also use, and recommend that you use, diluted earnings per share in addition to Adjusted EPS in assessing our earnings performance. Finally, other companies may define Adjusted EPS differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EPS measures of other companies.
The following tables, which reconcile our measure of Adjusted EPS to diluted earnings per share, and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, respectively, should be used along with the below statements of income for the periods presented, and the accompanying results of operations review.

Earnings and Performance Summary
We recorded net income of $5.5 million (or $0.31 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2012, as compared to net income of $6.5 million (or $0.37 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2011. For the third quarter of 2012, we recorded EBITDA of $20.7 million, as compared to $21.3 million in EBITDA for the third quarter of 2011.
We recorded net income of $16.8 million (or $0.96 per diluted share) in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to net income of $16.1 million (or $0.91 per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded EBITDA of $62.3 million, as compared to $58.3 million in EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
As set forth below, results for these periods were impacted by certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period and, thereby, have a disproportionate effect on the earnings reported for any given period. The income-statement review below contains further detail regarding these items.
(1) | Restructuring charges: We recorded restructuring charges of $1.0 million ($0.6 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) and $1.3 million ($0.9 million after tax, or $0.05 per diluted share) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. These expenses were primarily comprised of costs related the closure of our Texarkana, Arkansas manufacturing |
30
| facility, which we closed in July 2012. We recorded restructuring charges of $1.1 million ($0.6 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) and $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. These expenses were primarily comprised of severance costs related to an announced realignment of our Canadian operations, including the elimination of certain support positions in our Toronto distribution center and headquarters, which we completed during the fourth quarter of 2011. |
(2) | Gain on available for sale securities: We held a 4.8% interest in TRC at the time we acquired TRC. The fair value of our 4.8% pre-existing interest at the merger date was included in the total purchase price for TRC. As a result, we recorded a non-taxable gain of $0.8 million ($0.8 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2011 which represented the impact of re-measuring to fair value the 4.8% equity interest in TRC we held before the business combination. |
(3) | Share-based compensation expense (income): We recorded stock compensation expense of $0.5 million ($0.3 million after tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and expense of $1.2 million ($0.8 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We recorded stock compensation income of $0.7 million ($0.5 million after tax, or $0.03 per diluted share) in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and expense of $2.8 million ($1.7 million after tax, or $0.10 per diluted share) during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS because such expenses fluctuate significantly from period-to-period given that the value of certain such underlying awards is tied to the market value of our common stock. Therefore, we believe the exclusion of this expense from our adjusted measures of our operating results provides a measure of our performance free from the impact of such periodic fluctuations in the value of the underlying instruments. |
(4) | Acquisition-related costs: Our results for 2012 included acquisition-related costs of $0.1 million ($0.0 million after tax or $0.00 per diluted share) in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $0.4 million ($0.3 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share) during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our results for 2011 included acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million ($0.1 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share) in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $2.8 million ($2.0 million after tax or $0.12 per diluted share) during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Acquisition-related costs include outside legal, consulting and other fees, and direct expenses incurred relative to acquisition-related activities. These costs are excluded from our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS so that such measures may more closely reflect underlying operating results. |

Segments
We have three reportable segments: (1) Distribution, (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) and (3) Engineered Solutions (formerly “Other”). The Distribution segment serves our customers in distribution businesses, who are resellers of our products, while our OEM segment serves our OEM customers, who generally purchase more tailored products from us, which are used as inputs into subassemblies of manufactured finished goods. The Engineered Solutions segment, which was formerly reported as “Other,” contains that portion of TRC’s legacy business that has not been integrated into our Distribution segment, primarily TRC’s military and specialty vehicle business, as well as our WE business, which was acquired in May 2012. The Other segment was re-labeled as our Engineered Solutions segment as a result of our having acquired WE in May 2012 and management’s concurrent decision to report internally the collective operations of WE and the non-integrated components of TRC, all of which produce highly engineered, often customized product lines. Therefore, the Engineered Solutions segment reflects the aggregation of immaterial other operating segments which produce highly engineered, customized product lines.
Net sales
The decrease in net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, and the increase in net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, reflected the following factors:
| • | | Increased sales volumes (measured in total pounds shipped as set forth below) accounted for approximately $0.0 million and $33.3 million in increased net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011, respectively; |
| • | | Lower selling prices in our Distribution and OEM segments, primarily due to lower copper prices, accounted for a decrease in net sales of approximately $11.8 million and $33.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011, respectively. In particular, average COMEX copper prices decreased by 13.3% and 13.8% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011, respectively; |
| • | | Our Engineered Solutions segment accounted for $6.2 million and $20.8 million in increased net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011, respectively. Our Engineered Solutions segment includes the portion of TRC’s legacy business not integrated into our Distribution segment, primarily its military and specialty vehicle business, as well as our WE business. TRC was acquired in May 2011 and WE was acquired in May 2012. Accordingly, our results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 included the full impact of the TRC business, and three and four months of results for WE, respectively. Our results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 included approximately three and four and one-half months of TRC’s results, respectively, and did not include any results from WE. |

Our overall volumes for the third quarter of 2012, as compared to the third quarter of 2011, were largely flat, primarily reflecting lower overall demand from both OEMs and within our wire and cable distribution end markets, offset by increased demand relative to our new industrial products, as well as increased demand for our seasonal products. These more-recent demand trends contrast with those noted during the first half of 2012 when we experienced demand increases across a number of areas of our business, including OEM and within our wire and cable distribution end markets, mainly in the form of increased demand from existing customers, which we believe was a function of both increased sales of our new industrial products, as well as improved market conditions. Though our visibility is limited, recent demand trends indicate we may be in a continued period of somewhat weaker industry demand levels within certain end markets, particularly within the aforementioned OEM and wire and cable distribution end markets. In addition, OEM volumes have historically trended lower in the second half of the year, with fourth quarter demand in particular being impacted by OEM industry-related temporary seasonal and holiday plant shutdowns.
Gross profit
Our overall gross profit declined $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our overall gross profit increased $4.1 million as compared to the first nine months ended September 30, 2011. These amounts included increases of $2.7 million and $7.4 million attributable to increased gross profit within our Engineered Solutions segment for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared the same periods last year, respectively. As noted above, the third quarter and first nine months 2012 included the full impact of the TRC, as well as three and four months of results, respectively, for WE. The third quarter and first nine months of 2011 included approximately three and four and one half months of results for TRC, respectively, and did not include any results for WE. Excluding the impact of the Engineered Solutions segment, gross profit decreased by $3.0 million and $3.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011, with the declines primarily attributable to the gross profit impact of lower overall net sales in the third quarter and, to a lesser degree, a decline in our gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross profit rate”). For the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, our overall gross profit rate improved by 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively, (as a percentage of net sales), as compared to the same periods in 2011, however, these overall improvements reflect the inclusion of a greater proportion of sales within the Engineered Solutions segment, which generally carry higher margins. Excluding the impact of Engineered Solutions, we experienced a modest gross profit rate decline during both the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011. We believe these declines are primarily attributable to more challenging pricing conditions within a number of end markets during the third quarter of 2012, which generally caused a contraction in the spread between the cost of our products and the prices we were able to charge in the marketplace for them.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense
Our SG&A expense increased by $0.9 million for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011. These overall increases included increases of $0.4 million and $3.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, due to increased SG&A attributable to our Engineered Solutions segment. As noted above, the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 included the full impact of TRC, as well as three and four months of results, respectively, for WE. The third quarter and first nine months of 2011 included approximately three and four and one half months of results for TRC, respectively, and did not include any results for WE. Excluding the impact of the Engineered Solutions segment, our SG&A expenses increased $0.5 million for the third quarter and decreased $2.3 million first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011. The increase for the third quarter was a function of increased stock-based compensation expense, which accounted for an increase of $1.2 million. The decrease for the first nine months of 2012 related to (1) decreased stock-based compensation expense which accounted for a reduction of $1.6 million, (2) decreased acquisition-related costs (outside legal, consulting and other fees, and direct expenses incurred relative to acquisitions) which accounted for a reduction of $2.4 million, partly offset by (3) a $1.7 million increase across a number of expense areas, most notably payroll and related cost.
33
Intangible amortization expense
The $0.2 million and $0.5 million increases in intangible amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, reflect the impact of amortization recorded in relation to the acquisition of WE partially offset by lower amortization expense recorded in relation to acquisitions made in prior years. Amortization expense relative to intangible assets reflects the fact that such assets are generally amortized using an accelerated amortization method, which reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets is to be consumed and, accordingly, results in lower amortization in periods further removed from the period of initial recognition.
Restructuring charges
We recorded $1.0 million and $1.3 million in restructuring costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively. Most notably, the restructuring charges recorded in 2012 included approximately $0.9 million in costs, primarily severance, equipment moving and other close-related costs, incurred in connection with the closure of our manufacturing facility in Texarkana, Arkansas. As planned, we ceased all production at this facility in July 2012 and operations of this facility have been moved to other existing manufacturing facilities. We believe these actions will generate approximately $1.0 to $1.5 million in annual cost savings, most notably in the form of reduced overhead costs. The balance of the restructuring charges recorded for 2012 related to costs incurred at facilities closed in prior years currently consisting of one leased and one owned facility for which we continue to pay holding costs. We recorded $1.1 million and $1.3 million in restructuring costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, which were primarily comprised of $0.9 million in severance costs related to the realignment of our Toronto distribution facility in 2011, as well as $0.2 million in severance costs at TRC.

Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary bonuses, professional fees, restructuring expenses, share-based compensation expense, and intangible amortization. Our Distribution and OEM and, in certain cases, our Engineered Solutions segment, share common production processes, and manufacturing and distribution capacity. Accordingly, we do not identify net assets to our segments. Similarly, depreciation expense is not allocated to segments, but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our numerous manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.
The Distribution operating income decline for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily reflected the impact of lower gross profit in 2012. The operating income rate decline for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, primarily reflects lower gross profit margins in the third quarter of 2012. As discussed above, these declines primarily reflect the gross profit impact of lower overall net sales in the third quarter and more challenging pricing conditions within a number of end markets during the third quarter of 2012.
The OEM operating income decline for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily reflected the impact of lower gross profits in 2012. The operating income rate decline for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, primarily reflects lower gross profit margins in the third quarter of 2012. As discussed above, these declines primarily reflect the gross profit impact of lower overall net sales in the third quarter and more challenging pricing conditions within a number of end markets during the third quarter of 2012.
Engineered Solutions recorded operating income of $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011. The increase in operating income is primarily reflective of the fact that, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, the Engineered Solutions segment operating income included the full impact of TRC, as well as three and four months of operating results for WE, respectively. The third quarter and first nine months of 2011 included approximately three and four and one-half months of results for TRC, respectively, and did not include any results for WE.
Interest expense
The $0.2 million decline in interest expense for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011, reflects lower borrowing rates, unused line fees and expenses on our current Revolving Credit Facility (entered into by the Company in August of 2011), than existed under the terms of the credit facility that existed during much of 2011, partially offset by increased average borrowings.
Gain on available for sale securities
In the second quarter of 2011, prior to the acquisition of TRC, the Company owned 0.3 million shares of TRC common stock worth $7.20 per share as a result of the agreed upon purchase price for our acquisition of TRC. In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the fair value of this pre-existing investment in TRC was included as a part of the total purchase price for our acquisition of TRC. Consequently, as a result of the acquisition of TRC, we recognized a gain of $0.8 million on the difference between our cost basis in these 0.3 million shares of TRC common stock and their fair value at the acquisition date.
Other income, net
We recorded other income reflecting the impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary.
Income tax expense (benefit)
The increase in our tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the same respective periods of 2011, primarily reflects an increase in our year-to-date pre-tax income in 2012 as well as a more favorable rate in 2011 resulting from certain one-time adjustments related to state and deferred taxes.

Revolving Credit Facility
Our $250.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility agreement with an accordion feature that allows us to increase our borrowings by an additional $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which expires on October 1, 2016, is an asset-based loan facility, with a $20.0 million Canadian facility sublimit, and which is secured by substantially all of our assets, as further detailed below.
The interest rate charged on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on our election of either the base rate (greater of federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the lender’s prime rate) plus a range of 0.25% to 0.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 1.50% to 2.00%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we pay an unused line fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% based on quarterly average excess availability pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge covenant ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30.0 million. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $250.0 million or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 70% of eligible inventory, with a maximum amount of borrowing-base availability which may be generated from inventory of $150.0 million for the U.S. portion and $12.0 million Canadian for the Canadian portion, and an advance rate to be 75% of certain appraised real estate and 85% of certain appraised equipment and capped at $62.5 million, with a $15.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by CCI International Inc. (“CCI International”), TRC (excluding TRC’s 100%-owned foreign subsidiary, TRC Honduras, S.A. de C.V.), Patco Electronics (“Patco”), and Watteredge, each of which are 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of CCI International, TRC, Patco, and Watteredge, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of CCI International, TRC, Patco and Watteredge and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.
As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.

9% Senior Notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes”)
Our Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2018 and have an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million and a 9% coupon rate. Interest payments are due on February 15th and August 15th. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Senior Notes. Our Senior Notes were issued at a discount in 2010, resulting in proceeds of less than par value. This discount is being amortized to par value over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.
The Indenture relating to our Senior Notes contains customary covenants that limit us and our restricted subsidiaries from, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, making restricted payments, creating liens, paying dividends, consolidating, merging or selling substantially all of their assets, entering into sale and leaseback transactions, and entering into transaction with affiliates. Additionally, all our domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility are required under the Indenture to guarantee our obligations under the Senior Notes. Following our entry into the new Revolving Credit Facility, TRC and Patco became subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes.
Current and Future Liquidity
In general, we require cash for working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and interest. Our working capital requirements tend to increase when we experience significant increased demand for products or significant copper price increases. Accordingly, we may be required to borrow against our Revolving Credit Facility in the future upon the occurrence of various events, including increases in the price of copper, which increase our working capital requirements. Our management assesses the future cash needs of our business by considering a number of factors, including: (1) earnings and cash flow performance, (2) future working capital needs, (3) current and projected debt service expenses, and (4) planned capital expenditures.
As of September 30, 2012, we had $126.9 million in excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $5.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. We are permanently reinvested in our Honduran subsidiary and do not intend to repatriate funds. Cash held by our Honduran subsidiary of $0.4 million is not available to fund domestic operations unless these funds are repatriated. The Company would need to accrue and pay taxes of approximately $0.1 million if the funds were repatriated. We believe that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, meet our debt service requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions for the foreseeable future.
If we experience a deficiency in earnings compared to our fixed charges in the future, we would need to fund the fixed charges through additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. If cash flows generated from our operations, together with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, are not sufficient to fund our operations, meet our debt service requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures, we would need to seek additional sources of capital. Limitations on our ability to incur debt contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Indenture relating to our Senior Notes could prevent us from securing additional capital through the issuance of debt. In that case, we would need to secure additional capital through other means, such as the issuance of equity. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we were not able to secure additional capital, we could be required to delay or forego capital spending or other corporate initiatives, such as the development of products, or acquisition opportunities.
Our Revolving Credit Facility permits us to redeem, retire or repurchase our Senior Notes subject to certain limitations. We may repurchase Senior Notes in the future, but whether we do so will depend on a number of factors and there can be no assurance that we will repurchase any Senior Notes.
On May 1, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per common share, payable on May 30, 2012, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2012. On August 2, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per common share, payable on August 31, 2012, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2012. On October 30, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per common share, payable on November 30, 2012, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2012. Future declarations of quarterly dividends are subject to approval of the Board of Directors and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.
On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 0.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase plan expires in August 2013. To date, we have repurchased 0.4 million shares pursuant to this repurchase program. There can be no assurance that any additional share purchases will be made. The number of shares actually purchased will depend on various factors, including limitations imposed by the Company’s debt instruments, the price of our common stock, overall market and business conditions and management’s assessment of competing alternatives for capital deployment.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2012 was $13.3 million as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $5.4 million for the first nine months of 2011. This $18.7 million year-over-year increase in cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2012, as compared to the first nine months of 2011, was primarily a result of the impact of net favorable changes in working capital items. In aggregate, changes in operating assets and liabilities accounted for an increase
37
of $11.8 million in cash provided in operating activities for the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. Most notably, this overall improvement in operating cash flows was driven by a reduction in cash flows required to fund inventories. Net operating cash flows required to fund inventories was reduced $11.1 million, from $26.5 million for the first nine months of 2011 to $15.4 million of the first nine months of 2012. This decrease was, in large part, the result of reduced company-wide inventory levels in a number of product categories brought about by way of consolidating our former major Toronto-based distribution center into our Pleasant Prairie, WI distribution center. This consolidation of distribution centers allowed us to reduce company-wide stock levels of certain products. Additionally, the reduction reflects a rationalization and consolidation of a number of consumer products acquired by way of the 2011 Acquisitions, offset by a more marked increase in copper prices from the beginning of 2012 to September 30, 2012 than from the beginning of 2011 to September 30, 2011.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 was $61.8 million and $69.3 million, respectively. Most notably, net cash used in investing activities includes $33.1 million and $58.9 million used to fund acquisitions in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, net cash used in investing activity includes $28.7 million and $10.5 million in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, for capital expenditures. The significant increase in capital spending for 2012 compared to 2011 reflects, in part, $6.5 million expended in January 2012 to acquire three of our previously leased manufacturing facilities. In addition, we have undertaken a number of individual projects across our major manufacturing plants designed to improve our manufacturing efficiencies, lower our costs and expand our manufacturing capacity and capabilities. We expect our 2012 capital expenditures to total between $35.0 million and $40.0 million, as compared to $15.0 million for full-year 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 was $43.5 million and $48.1 million, respectively, primarily reflecting the utilization of borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility to fund the above-noted business acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital needs.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Various statements contained in this report, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this report, including certain statements contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (available atwww.sec.gov), may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include:
| • | fluctuations in the supply or price of copper and other raw materials; |
| • | increased competition from other wire and cable manufacturers, including foreign manufacturers; |
| • | pricing pressures causing margins to decrease; |
| • | our dependence on indebtedness and our ability to satisfy our debt obligations; |
| • | changes in the cost of labor or raw materials, including PVC and fuel; |
| • | failure to identify, finance or integrate acquisitions; |
| • | product liability claims and litigation resulting from the design or manufacture of our products; |
| • | advancements in wireless technology; |
| • | impairment charges related to our goodwill and long-lived assets; |
| • | disruption in the importation of raw materials and products from foreign-based suppliers; |
| • | our ability to maintain substantial levels of inventory; |
| • | increase in exposure to political and economic development crises, instability, terrorism, civil strife, expropriation, and other risks of doing business in foreign markets; |
| • | changes in tax legislation relating to our Honduras subsidiary; and |
| • | other risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. |

In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change and, therefore, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to today.
ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Our principal market risks are exposure to changes in commodity prices, primarily copper prices, interest rates on borrowings, and exchange rate risk relative to our operations in Canada.
Commodity Risk.Certain raw materials used in our products are subject to price volatility, most notably copper, which is the primary raw material used in our products. The price of copper is particularly volatile and can affect our net sales and profitability. We purchase copper at prevailing market prices and, through multiple pricing strategies, generally attempt to pass along to our customers changes in the price of copper and other raw materials. From time-to-time, we enter into derivative contracts, including copper futures contracts, to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We do not speculate on copper prices. All of our copper futures contracts are tied to the COMEX copper market index and the value of our futures contracts varies directly with underlying changes in the related COMEX copper futures prices. We record these derivative contracts at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability. At September 30, 2012, we had contracts with a net aggregate fair value of $0.2 million, consisting of contracts to buy 0.6 million pounds of copper in September 2012. A hypothetical adverse movement of 10% in the price of copper at September 30, 2012, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in an aggregate loss in the fair value of our commodity futures contracts of approximately $0.2 million as of September 30, 2012.
Interest Rate Risk.We have exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our debt obligations. As of September 30, 2012, approximately 21% of our debt was variable rate, primarily our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility for which interest costs are based on either the lenders’ prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate. Based on the amount of our variable rate borrowings at September 30, 2012, which totaled approximately $74.4 million, an immediate one percentage point change in LIBOR would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.7 million. This estimate assumes that the amount of variable rate borrowings remains constant for an annual period and that the interest rate change occurs at the beginning of the period.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.We have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our Canadian operations. Currently, we do not manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk using any financial or derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts or hedging activities. In the third quarter of 2012, we recorded an aggregate pre-tax loss of approximately $0.2 million related to exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.
ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of September 30, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
39
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
In the ordinary course of our business we may become involved in legal proceedings and receive indemnity claims from customers, suppliers and other parties. These proceedings and claims may seek significant damages or other types of relief (such as billing set-offs) that, if adversely resolved, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or on our annual or quarterly financial results. We recently received an indemnity claim for $2.3 million relating to a recent acquisition, which we believe lacks merit and is not payable by us. We believe that we have substantial and meritorious defenses to all currently pending matters. As a result of these and other factors and although no assurances are possible, our currently pending matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
