MEAD JOHNSON NUTRITION COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION
Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (“MJN” or the “Company”) manufactures, distributes and sells infant formulas, children’s nutrition and other nutritional products. MJN has a broad product portfolio, which extends across routine and specialty infant formulas, children’s milks and milk modifiers, pediatric vitamins, dietary supplements for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, and products for pediatric metabolic disorders. These products are generally sold to wholesalers, retailers and distributors and are promoted to healthcare professionals, and, where permitted by regulation and policy, directly to consumers.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation—The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by GAAP for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company is responsible for the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
The consolidated financial statements include all of the normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the results and trends in these unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of full-year operating results or future performance.
The accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial statements are the same as those used to prepare the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited year-end financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards—In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, requiring entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. For significant reclassifications related to net income, the ASU required disclosure in the consolidated statement of earnings or within the footnotes. For other amounts, the ASU required a cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This ASU did not change the current requirements for reporting the consolidated statement of earnings or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The Company adopted the required financial reporting presentation effective January 1, 2013.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards—In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), clarifying the applicable guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment. ASU 2013-05 is effective for the Company in the period beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share is net earnings attributable to shareholders reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings attributable to unvested shares. The denominator for basic earnings per share is the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. The denominator for diluted earnings per share is the weighted-average shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock options and performance share awards.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 25.3% and 25.5%, respectively, compared with 25.9% and 26.7% for the same periods in 2012. The lower ETR was primarily attributable to management's assertion that certain current year foreign earnings and profits are permanently invested abroad.
The Company’s gross reserve for uncertain tax positions related to foreign and domestic matters, including penalties and interest, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $90.3 million and $75.9 million, respectively. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for all uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that new issues may be raised by tax authorities and that these issues may require increases in the balance of uncertain tax positions.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Tax Matters Agreement dated December 18, 2009, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”), the Company’s former parent, maintains responsibility for all uncertain tax positions which may exist in the pre-initial public offering period or which may exist as a result of the initial public offering transaction. The Company has recorded a receivable from BMS for uncertain tax positions, including penalties and interest, of $8.4 million as of June 30, 2013.
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
MJN operates in four geographic operating segments: Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. This operating segmentation is how the chief operating decision maker regularly assesses information for decision making purposes, including allocation of resources. Due to similarities in the economics, products offered, production process, customer base, and regulatory environment, these operating segments have been aggregated into two reportable segments: Asia/Latin America and North America/Europe.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company implemented a change in its organizational structure involving the transfer of its Puerto Rican operations from North America to Latin America. This change did not impact Europe or Asia and did not have a material impact on the assets of North America or Latin America. Segment information, for all periods presented, has been revised to be consistent with the new basis of presentation.
Corporate and Other consists of unallocated general and administrative expenses; global business support activities, including research and development, marketing and supply chain costs; and income or expenses incurred within the operating segments that are not reflective of ongoing operations and affect the comparability of the operating segments’ results.
The following table summarizes net sales and earnings before interest and income taxes for each of our reportable segments:

Settlements reflect the recognition of losses that were previously deferred within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to plan participants who have received lump sum distributions during the plan year. Recognition of settlements is triggered when the amount paid for lump sum distributions from a plan exceeds the sum of service and interest cost for the plan year. For the U.S. plans, losses reclassified to settlements were $15.2 million and $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Settlements are recognized as other expenses/(income)-net in the consolidated statements of earnings.

9. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
On March 15, 2012, the Company acquired 80% of the outstanding capital stock of Nutricion para el Conosur S.A. which manufactures, distributes and sells infant formula and children’s nutrition products in Argentina under the SanCor Bebé and Bebé Plus brands (the “Argentine Acquisition”). Under the terms of an agreement related to the Argentine Acquisition, the noncontrolling interest owner has the right to require MJN to purchase (the “Put Right”) its remaining 20% interest or to sell (the “Call Right”) up to an additional 20% of the outstanding capital stock of Nutricion para el Conosur S.A. The Put Right is exercisable from September 15, 2015 to September 15, 2018 and the decision to exercise is not within the control of MJN. The price paid upon exercise will be determined based on established multiples of sales and earnings of the acquired business and is currently estimated to equate to fair value at the earliest exercise date. As a result of the Put Right, the noncontrolling interest is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of equity on the balance sheet. Accretion to the redemption value of the Put Right will be recognized through equity using an interest method over the period from March 15, 2012 to September 15, 2015.
10. NET EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

13. GOODWILL
The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization for impairments in the first quarter of each year and whenever a significant event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of these intangible assets. As a result of the Company’s review in the first quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that no impairment of goodwill or intangible assets not subject to amortization exists. During the course of this review, however, the Company determined that the amount of goodwill attributed to certain reporting units needed to be revised.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment, was primarily driven by the cumulative impact due to a correction of the currency denomination of the goodwill related to two reporting units. The revision had the impact of decreasing the Company’s total value of goodwill and decreasing the total currency translation adjustment included in the accumulated other comprehensive income section of shareholders’ equity and other comprehensive income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment, including the cumulative impact of the revisions described above, was as follows:
|

15. DEBT
Short-Term Borrowings and Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement
The Company’s short-term borrowings were primarily from its five-year revolving credit facility agreement (“Credit Facility”) and were $38.2 million and $161.0 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, borrowings from the Credit Facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 1.53%. As of June 30, 2013, borrowings from the Credit Facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 1.50%. The Company intends to repay these borrowings within 12 months and has the ability to do so.
Borrowings from the Credit Facility are used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility is unsecured and repayable on maturity in June 2016, subject to annual extensions if a sufficient number of lenders agree. The maximum amount of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit permitted at any one time under the Credit Facility is $500.0 million, which may be increased from time to time up to $750.0 million at the Company’s request and with the consent of the lenders, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants, whereby the ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) cannot exceed 3.25 to 1.0, and the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense cannot be less than 3.0 to 1.0. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2013.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate that is determined as a base rate plus a margin. The base rate is either (a) LIBOR for a specified interest period, or (b) a floating rate based upon JPMorgan Chase Bank’s prime rate, the Federal Funds rate or LIBOR. The margin is determined by reference to the Company’s credit rating. The margin can range from 0.075% to 1.45% over the base rate. In addition, the Company incurs an annual 0.2% facility fee on the entire facility commitment of $500.0 million.
Note Payable
On March 15, 2012, the Company completed the Argentine Acquisition described in Note 9. Of the ARS850.7 million purchase price payable in connection with the Argentine Acquisition, ARS377.6 million was financed through a note payable. As of June 30, 2013, the remaining balance of the note payable was $16.8 million, the payment of which was contingent upon receipt of Argentine regulatory approval. The Company received regulatory approval on May 31, 2013 and, accordingly, the entire remaining balance was paid in July 2013. Through March 15, 2013, the annual interest rate for the note payable was 14%. Effective as of March 16, 2013, the note was converted to U.S. dollar-denominated indebtedness and the annual interest rate was automatically modified to be 0.85%, which accrued through the Company’s final payment.

16. DERIVATIVES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives
The Company is exposed to market risk due to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage that risk, the Company enters into certain derivative financial instruments, when available on a cost-effective basis, to hedge its underlying economic exposure. These financial instruments are in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for both periods presented. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy. Derivative financial instruments are not used for speculative purposes.
The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value of outstanding derivatives designated as hedging instruments: |
| | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | | | | | | |
Cash flow hedges: | | Balance Sheet Location | | June 30, 2013 | | December 31, 2012 |

Foreign exchange contracts | | Accrued expenses | | (1.1 | ) | | (5.1 | ) |
Net asset/(liability) of derivatives designated as hedging instruments | | | | $ | 4.6 |
| | $ | (5.1 | ) |
The Company’s derivative financial instruments present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated as the Company uses a variety of major banks worldwide whose long-term debt is rated A or higher by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service, Fitch Ratings, or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. In addition, only conventional derivative financial instruments are used. The Company would not be materially impacted if any of the counterparties to the derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2013 failed to perform according to the terms of its agreement. At this time, the Company does not require collateral or any other form of securitization to be furnished by the counterparties to its derivative financial instruments.
Cash Flow Hedges-Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge forecasted transactions, primarily intercompany purchases for up to 18 months, on certain foreign currencies and designates these derivative instruments as foreign currency cash flow hedges when appropriate. For the contracts that qualify as hedges of probable forecasted transactions, the effective portion of changes in fair value is temporarily reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings.
The Company assesses hedge effectiveness at inception and on a quarterly basis. These assessments determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value is included in current period earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the impact of hedge ineffectiveness on earnings was not significant.
The Company will discontinue cash flow hedge accounting when the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur on the originally forecasted date, or 60 days thereafter, or when the hedge is no longer effective. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts is recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings, in cost of products sold, or deemed ineffective, in other expenses/(income)—net. All of the Company’s foreign exchange contracts qualify as hedges of probable forecasted cash flows.
As of June 30, 2013, the notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts designated as hedging instruments was $198.1 million, with a fair value of $4.6 million in net assets. As of December 31, 2012, the notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts designated as hedging instruments was $207.2 million, with a fair value of $5.1 million in net liabilities. The fair value of all foreign exchange forward contracts is based on quarter-end forward currency rates. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts should be viewed in relation to the fair value of the underlying hedged transactions and the overall reduction in exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
The change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts that qualified as cash flow hedges were as follows:

At June 30, 2013, the balance of the effective portion of changes in fair value on foreign exchange forward contracts that qualified for cash flow hedge accounting included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $3.3 million, $3.0 million of which is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company may, from time to time, enter into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate management strategy. The gain or loss on these swaps that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges will be recognized in current earnings and offset by the loss or gain on the hedged item. These swaps are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the present value of the future cash flows calculated based on forecasted LIBOR rates from a third party bank including credit value adjustments.
In November 2009, the Company executed several interest rate swaps to convert $700.0 million of the Company’s newly-issued fixed rate debt to be paid in 2014 and 2019 to variable rate debt. In November 2010, the Company terminated $200.0 million notional amount of fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps in exchange for cash of $15.6 million. In July 2011, the Company terminated the remaining $500.0 million notional amount of fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps in exchange for cash of $23.5 million. The related basis adjustments of the underlying hedged items are being recognized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the underlying debt. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding at June 30, 2013.
The earnings impact from interest rate swaps was as follows: |

Other Financial Instruments
The Company does not hedge the interest rate risk associated with money market funds which totaled $344.9 million and $520.7 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Money market funds are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and are included in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. The money market funds have quoted market prices that are generally equivalent to par.
17. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
As of June 30, 2013, the Company held investments in equity securities of $11.7 million classified as trading securities and included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices and classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Cost basis for the Company's equity securities is determined by the specific identification method. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other expenses/(income) - net in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings.

19. CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations, government inquiries and claims, including, but not limited to, product liability claims, advertising disputes and inquiries, consumer fraud suits, other commercial disputes, premises claims and employment and environmental, health, and safety matters.
The Company records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and can be reasonably estimated. Although MJN cannot predict with certainty the final resolution of these lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against the Company, MJN does not believe any currently pending legal proceeding to which MJN is a party will have a material effect on the Company’s business or financial condition, although an unfavorable outcome in excess of amounts recognized as of June 30, 2013, with respect to one or more of these proceedings could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the periods in which a loss is recognized.
The Company is not aware of any environmental, health or safety-related litigation or significant environmental, health and safety-related financial obligations or liabilities arising from current or former operations or properties that are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Liabilities or obligations, which could require the Company to make significant expenditures, could arise in the future, however, as the result of, among other things, changes in, or new interpretations of, existing laws, regulations or enforcement policies, claims relating to on- or off-site contamination, or the imposition of unanticipated investigation or cleanup obligations.
As previously announced, the Company is fully cooperating with the Bureau of Price Supervision and Anti-Monopoly of China's National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) in its recent antitrust review of the infant formula industry's practices relating to resale prices (“China Antitrust Review”). Accordingly, the Company agreed to reduce the ex-factory price of certain products to its direct customers in China. The Company cannot predict what the NDRC's final resolution of this matter will be. Under China law, the NDRC has complete discretion, among other actions, to 1) issue an order prohibiting future conduct deemed illegal; and/or 2) confiscate proceeds deemed illegally obtained; and/or 3) assess a penalty in the range of 1 - 10% of a company's prior year sales in China. In 2012, MJN recorded approximately $800 million of sales in China.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 450-20, the Company has recorded a charge related to the China Antitrust Review. This charge did not have a material effect on the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. However, the NDRC's final resolution of the matter could result in an incremental charge in excess of the amount recorded at June 30, 2013 and could have a material impact on the Company's operating results in the quarter in which such resolution is obtained. Based on the range of possible remedies under China law as described above, the Company determined that it cannot estimate a reasonably possible range for such a potential incremental charge. However, the Company believes that there would not be a material effect on its business, financial condition or cash flows if such an incremental charge were to be incurred.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview of Our Business
We are a global leader in pediatric nutrition. We are committed to building trusted nutritional brands and products that help improve the health and development of infants and children around the world and provide them with the best start in life. Our comprehensive product portfolio addresses a broad range of nutritional needs for infants, children and expectant and nursing mothers. We have over 100 years of innovation experience during which we have developed or improved many breakthrough or industry-defining products across each of our product categories. We operate in four geographic segments: Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. Due to similarities in the economics, products offered, production process, customer base and regulatory environment, these operating segments have been aggregated into two reportable segments: Asia/Latin America and North America/Europe.
Executive Summary
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, sales grew 5% year over year, with 4% attributable to higher prices and 1% resulting from increased sales volume. The 1% volume increase was driven by category growth along with market share improvements and product launches in certain markets, but was largely offset by lower volumes in the North America/Europe segment related to the exit of certain non-core businesses in late 2012. Despite increased demand generation investments, nonrecurring foreign exchange transaction gains seen in 2012 and higher pension settlement expenses, earnings per share increased 2% from higher sales, a slight increase in gross margins and a lower effective tax rate.

Net Sales
Our net sales by reportable segments are shown in the table below:

Asia/Latin America sales accounted for 72% of our net sales for the second quarter of 2013. Sales increased 8% year over year reflecting a 6% contribution from volume growth and 2% from higher pricing. Price increases in Venezuela and Argentina helped mitigate high inflation in their respective markets and accounted for 2% of the segment's growth and 1% of the total Company growth. Price increases throughout the rest of the segment were offset by lower prices in China. Higher sales volume reflected category growth in certain markets, market share gains and a return to volume growth in China following three quarters of decline.
Sales in North America/Europe were down 4% versus the prior year period as a result of exiting certain non-core businesses in late 2012. North America/Europe sales were flat excluding this impact, as higher pricing was offset by lower category consumption in the U.S.
Our net sales by product category are shown in the table below:

Infant Formula accounts for the large majority of our sales in North America/Europe and nearly half of our sales in Asia/Latin America. Other category sales declined due to the prior year exit of certain non-core products primarily in the North America/Europe segment.
We recognize revenue net of various sales adjustments to arrive at net sales as reported on the statements of earnings. These adjustments are referred to as gross-to-net sales adjustments. The reconciliation of our gross sales to net sales is as follows:

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased year over year due to higher sales force expense and distribution costs.
Advertising and Promotion Expenses
Our advertising spending primarily includes television and other consumer media. Promotion activities primarily include product evaluation and education provided to health care professionals and consumers, where permitted by regulation. The increase in advertising and promotion expenses reflected demand-generation investments primarily in Asia/Latin America in support of our strategic growth initiatives.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses include the continued investment in our innovation capability, product pipeline and quality programs.

Other expenses/(income)-net increased compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the nonrecurrence of foreign exchange transaction gains and a charge that was recorded related to the China Antitrust Review.
Earnings before Interest and Income Taxes
Earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”) from our two reportable segments is reduced by Corporate and Other expenses. Corporate and Other consists of unallocated general and administrative expenses; global business support activities, including research and development, marketing and supply chain costs; and income or expenses incurred within our operating segments that are not reflective of ongoing operations and affect the comparability of the operating segments’ results.

| | (7 | )% |
EBIT in Asia/Latin America fell slightly as the benefit of higher sales was more than offset by higher demand-generation investments as compared to the prior year period.
EBIT in North America/Europe increased slightly, primarily the result of a higher gross margin as compared to the prior year period.
Corporate and Other expenses increased compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the nonrecurrence of foreign exchange transaction gains.
Interest Expense—net
Net interest expense decreased compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the capitalization of interest cost associated with the construction of our new spray dryer and technology center in Singapore (the “Asia Spray Dryer Project”).
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was 25.3% and 25.9%, respectively. The lower ETR was primarily attributable to management's assertion that certain current year foreign earnings and profits are permanently invested abroad.
Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests consists of a 20%, 11% and 10% interest held by third parties in the Company’s operating entities in Argentina, China and Indonesia, respectively.
Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders
For the foregoing reasons, net earnings attributable to shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 2% to $162.2 million compared with the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Asia/Latin America sales accounted for 72% of our net sales for the first six months of 2013. Sales grew 7% year over year reflecting a 4% contribution from higher pricing and 3% volume growth. Price increases in Venezuela and Argentina helped mitigate high inflation in their respective markets and accounted for 2% of the segment's growth and 1% of the total Company growth. Price increases throughout the rest of the segment more than offset by lower prices in China. Category growth and higher market share in certain markets drove the volume improvement, but the impact was offset, in part, by lower volumes in China. In Hong Kong, new restrictions on exports became effective on March 1, 2013, reducing sales in the second quarter of 2013 relative to the first quarter of 2013. However, Hong Kong sales volumes for the six month period were higher than the prior year period. The 2012 Argentine Acquisition also increased sales by 1% versus the prior year period.
North America/Europe sales were down 2% versus the prior year period as a 3% increase in prices was more than offset by a 5% reduction in volumes. Excluding the impact from exiting certain non-core businesses in late 2012, sales for the segment were up by 2%. Increased prices and market share gains in the U.S. and Canada overcame lower U.S. category consumption.
Our net sales by product category are shown in the table below:

Infant Formula accounts for the large majority of our sales in North America/Europe and nearly half of our sales in Asia/Latin America. Other category sales declined due to the prior year exit of certain non-core products primarily in the North America/Europe segment.
We recognize revenue net of various sales adjustments to arrive at net sales as reported on the statements of earnings. These adjustments are referred to as gross-to-net sales adjustments. The reconciliation of our gross sales to net sales is as follows:

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased year over year due to higher sales force expense and distribution costs.
Advertising and Promotion Expenses
Our advertising spending primarily includes television and other consumer media. Promotion activities primarily include product evaluation and education provided to health care professionals and consumers, where permitted by regulation. The increase in advertising and promotion expenses reflected demand-generation investments primarily in Asia/Latin America in support our strategic growth initiatives.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses include the continued investment in our innovation capability, product pipeline and quality programs.

Other expenses/(income)-net increased compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the nonrecurrence of foreign exchange transaction gains in 2013 and higher pension settlement expense attributable to greater lump sum payments in 2013 versus 2012. In addition, other-net increased due to a charge that was recorded related to the China Antitrust Review.
Earnings before Interest and Income Taxes
EBIT from our two reportable segments is reduced by Corporate and Other expenses. Corporate and Other consists of unallocated general and administrative expenses; global business support activities, including research and development, marketing and supply chain costs; and income or expenses incurred within our operating segments that are not reflective of ongoing operations and affect the comparability of the operating segments’ results.

| | (3 | )% |
The benefit from higher sales in Asia/Latin America was offset by higher demand generation investments in support of product innovation resulting in a lower EBIT for 2013 compared to the prior year.
The increase in EBIT in North America/Europe was primarily attributable to higher gross margins and lower operating expenses resulting from our new business model in Europe.
Higher Corporate and Other expenses were primarily attributable to the prior year’s foreign exchange transaction gains and higher U.S. pension settlement expense compared to the prior year.
Interest Expense—net
Net interest expense decreased compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the capitalization of interest cost associated with the construction of our new Asia Spray Dryer Project.
Income Taxes
The ETR for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was 25.5% and 26.7%, respectively. The lower ETR was primarily attributable to management's assertion that certain current year foreign earnings and profits are permanently invested abroad.
Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests consists of a 20%, 11% and 10% interest held by third parties in the Company’s operating entities in Argentina, China and Indonesia, respectively.
Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders
For the foregoing reasons, net earnings attributable to shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased 1% to $334.7 million compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and available borrowings under our $500.0 million revolving credit facility. Cash flows from operating activities represent the inflow of cash from our customers net of the outflow of cash for raw material purchases, manufacturing, operating expenses, interest and taxes. Cash flows used in investing activities primarily represent acquisitions and capital expenditures for equipment, buildings and computer software. Cash flows used in financing activities primarily represent proceeds and repayments of short-term borrowings, dividend payments and share repurchases.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,003.9 million at June 30, 2013, of which $590.5 million was held outside of the United States. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,042.1 million as of December 31, 2012, of which $486.7 million was held outside of the United States.
Of the cash and cash equivalents on hand, approximately $408 million was repatriated during the third quarter of 2012 as a return of basis. The Company has no current plans to repatriate cash in a similar manner.
During the second quarter of 2013, we repatriated approximately $33.0 million of cash to the United States from multiple jurisdictions whose earnings and profits are not permanently invested abroad.
As a result of our evaluation of our global cash position, management has asserted that current year earnings and profits in certain foreign jurisdictions are permanently invested abroad. We will continue to evaluate our global cash position and whether earnings and profits of certain other foreign jurisdictions are permanently invested abroad. As of June 30, 2013, approximately $317 million of cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries whose undistributed earnings, either partially or entirely, are considered permanently invested. Our intent is to invest these earnings in our foreign operations and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations. If we decide at a later date to repatriate these earnings to the United States, the Company would be required to provide U.S. taxes on these amounts.
During the quarter, the Company repaid $64.9 million against its short-term revolving credit facilities. The Company’s short-term borrowings were $38.2 million and $161.0 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively.
Our board of directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company’s stock. The repurchase program is primarily intended to offset the dilutive effect on earnings from stock-based compensation. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we purchased 0.3 million shares under the program for $19.9 million. As of June 30, 2013, we had $35.8 million available under the authorization.
Cash Flows
We believe that cash on hand and cash from operations will be sufficient to support our working capital needs, pay our operating expenses, satisfy debt obligations, fund capital expenditures and make dividend payments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash flow from operating activities was $399.8 million and primarily driven by net earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash flow was $267.2 million driven by net earnings, partially offset by declines in accrued expenses, deferred income and accounts payable. The decline in accrued expenses in the first half of 2012 was primarily attributed to annual compensation payments.
Cash flow used in investing activities was $38.6 million less than the prior year period. The decrease was largely the result of the prior year Argentine Acquisition partially offset by higher capital expenditures in 2013 as compared to 2012. For more information regarding the Argentine Acquisition, see Item 1, “Financial Statements.”
Cash flow used in financing activities was $310.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and included $129.9 million of dividend payments, $122.8 million net repayments from our short-term credit facilities, $60.6 million of treasury stock purchases and $10.8 million for the note payable installments related to the Argentine Acquisition, partially offset by $18.8 million inflow related to stock-based compensation. Cash flow used in financing activities was $156.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and included $114.3 million of dividend payments and $58.8 million of treasury stock purchases, partially offset by $18.8 million inflow related to stock-based compensation.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures and the cash outflow for capital expenditures were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | |

Six months ended June 30, 2013 | | $ | 88.2 |
| | $ | 117.0 |
|
| | | | |
Six months ended June 30, 2012 | | $ | 35.6 |
| | $ | 50.0 |

Capital expenditures included investment primarily in our new Asia Spray Dryer Project. We expect capital expenditures in 2013 to be approximately $260 million, including our investment in the Asia Spray Dryer Project, with continued emphasis on investment in growth and innovation.
