SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |||||||||||||||||
Nature of Operations | |||||||||||||||||
Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (the "Company," "Hill-Rom," "we," "us," or "our") was incorporated on August 7, 1969 in the State of Indiana and is headquartered in Batesville, Indiana. We are a leading worldwide manufacturer and provider of medical technologies and related services for the health care industry, including patient care systems, safe mobility and handling solutions, non-invasive therapeutic products for a variety of acute and chronic medical conditions, medical equipment rentals, surgical products and information technology solutions. Our comprehensive product and service offerings are used by health care providers across the health care continuum and around the world in hospitals, extended care facilities and home care settings, to enhance the safety and quality of patient care. | |||||||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||||||||||
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hill-Rom and its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned as of September 30, 2013. During the first quarter of our fiscal 2011, we acquired the remaining 40 percent noncontrolling interest in a former joint venture (Note 2). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Examples of such estimates include our accounts receivable reserves (Note 1), accrued warranties (Note 1), the impairment of intangibles and goodwill (Note 3), investments (Note 5), income taxes (Note 9) and commitments and contingencies (Note 13), among others. | |||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||||||
We consider investments in marketable securities and other highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments which have no stated maturity are also considered cash equivalents. All of our marketable securities may be freely traded. | |||||||||||||||||
Investment Securities | |||||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2013, investment securities consisted primarily of AAA rated student loan auction rate securities ("ARS"). These securities are generally insured through the U.S. government's Federal Family Education Loan Program, to the extent the borrowers meet certain prescribed criteria in their underlying lending practices. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and changes in their fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("AOCL"). | |||||||||||||||||
We regularly evaluate all investments classified as available-for-sale for possible impairment based on current economic conditions, credit loss experience and other criteria. The evaluation of investments for impairment requires significant judgments to be made including (i) the identification of potentially impaired securities; (ii) the determination of their estimated fair value; (iii) the assessment of whether any decline in estimated fair value is other-than-temporary; and (iv) the likelihood of selling before recovery. If there is a decline in a security's net realizable value that is other-than-temporary and we are not likely to sell before recovery, the decline is separated into the amount of impairment related to credit loss and the amount of impairment related to all other factors. The decline related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings, while the decline related to all other factors is recognized in AOCL. | |||||||||||||||||
See Note 5 for further details on our fair value measurements. | |||||||||||||||||
Trade Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||||||
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, unless the transaction is an installment sale with payment terms exceeding one year. Reserves for uncollectible accounts represent our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses and collection risk in our existing accounts receivable. We determine such reserves based on historical write-off experience by industry and reimbursement platform. Receivables are generally reviewed on a pooled basis based on historical collection experience for each reimbursement and receivable type. Receivables for capital sales transactions are also reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. We do not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers. If circumstances change, such as higher than expected claims denials, payment defaults, changes in our business composition or processes, adverse changes in general economic conditions, unfavorable impacts of austerity measures initiated by some governmental authorities, instability or disruption of credit markets, or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer's or payor's ability to meet its obligations, our estimates of the realizability of trade receivables could be reduced by a material amount. | |||||||||||||||||
Within rental revenue, the domestic third-party payors' reimbursement process requires extensive documentation, which has had the effect of slowing both the billing and cash collection cycles relative to the rest of the business, and therefore, increasing total accounts receivable. Because of the extensive documentation required and the requirement to settle a claim with the primary payor prior to billing the secondary and/or patient portion of the claim, the collection period for a claim in a portion of our business may, in some cases, be extended. | |||||||||||||||||
We generally hold our trade accounts receivable until they are paid. Certain long-term receivables are occasionally sold to third parties; however, any recognized gain or loss on such sales has historically not been material. | |||||||||||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||||||||||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs are determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for approximately 47 and 44 percent of our inventories at September 30, 2013 and 2012. Costs for other inventories have been determined principally by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories consist of the following: | |||||||||||||||||
30-Sep | |||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||||||||
Finished products | $ | 66.3 | $ | 71.8 | |||||||||||||
Work in process | 5.8 | 6.4 | |||||||||||||||
Raw materials | 46.2 | 48.7 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 118.3 | $ | 126.9 | |||||||||||||
If the FIFO method of inventory accounting, which approximates current cost, had been used for all inventories, they would have been approximately $3.2 million and $3.1 million higher than reported at September 30, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment | |||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the assets using principally the straight-line method. Ranges of estimated useful lives are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
Useful Life | |||||||||||||||||
Land improvements | 6 - 15 years | ||||||||||||||||
Buildings and building equipment | 10 - 40 years | ||||||||||||||||
Machinery and equipment | 3 - 10 years | ||||||||||||||||
Equipment leased to others | 2 -10 years | ||||||||||||||||
When property, plant and equipment is retired from service or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related amount of depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds on sale are charged or credited to income. Total depreciation expense for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $71.2 million, $73.9 million and $74.3 million. The major components of property and the related accumulated depreciation were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

Total | $ | 821.7 | $ | 587.4 | $ | 834.9 | $ | 584.8 | |||||||||
Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||
Intangible assets are stated at cost and consist predominantly of goodwill, software, patents, trademarks, and acquired customer relationship assets. With the exception of goodwill and certain trademarks, our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods generally ranging from 3 to 20 years. | |||||||||||||||||
We assess the carrying value of goodwill and non-amortizable intangibles annually, during the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Goodwill is allocated among the reporting units based on the relative fair value of those units. | |||||||||||||||||
The majority of our goodwill and many of our intangible assets are not deductible for income tax purposes. A summary of intangible assets and the related accumulated amortization and impairment losses follows: | |||||||||||||||||

Software consists mainly of capitalized costs associated with internal use software, including applicable costs associated with the implementation/upgrade of our Enterprise Resource Planning system. In addition, software includes capitalized development costs for software products to be sold. The net book value of computer software costs, included within intangible assets, was $28.7 million and $39.5 million at September 30, 2013 and 2012. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to ten years. Software amortization expense approximated $17.8 million, $20.7 million and $19.1 million for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, and is included in the total intangibles amortization presented earlier. | |||||||||||||||||
Guarantees | |||||||||||||||||
We routinely grant limited warranties on our products with respect to defects in material and workmanship. The terms of these warranties are generally one year, however, certain components and products have substantially longer warranty periods. We recognize a reserve with respect to these obligations at the time of product sale, with subsequent warranty claims recorded directly against the reserve. The amount of the warranty reserve is determined based on historical trend experience for the covered products. For more significant warranty-related matters which might require a broad-based correction, separate reserves are established when such events are identified and the cost of correction can be reasonably estimated. During fiscal 2013, we have recognized charges of $12.2 million to cover the estimated costs associated with field corrective actions on five different product lines. We also recognized a charge of $16.0 million for a fiscal 2012 field corrective action on one of our med-surg product lines. These field corrective actions do not limit the manufacture, sale or ongoing use of these products. | |||||||||||||||||
A reconciliation of changes in our warranty reserve is as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

In the normal course of business we enter into various other guarantees and indemnities in our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, business partners and others. Examples of these arrangements would include guarantees of product performance, indemnifications to service providers and indemnifications of our actions to business partners. These guarantees and indemnifications have not historically nor do we expect them to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, although indemnifications associated with our actions generally have no dollar limitations. | |||||||||||||||||
In conjunction with our acquisition and divestiture activities, we have entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of our commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract. With respect to sale transactions, we also routinely enter into non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Retirement Plans | |||||||||||||||||
We sponsor retirement and postretirement plans covering select employees. Expense recognized in relation to these defined benefit retirement plans and the postretirement health care plan in the U.S. is based upon actuarial valuations and inherent in those valuations are key assumptions including discount rates, and where applicable, expected returns on assets, projected future salary rates and projected health care cost trends. The discount rates used in the valuation of our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans are evaluated annually based on current market conditions. In setting these rates we utilize long-term bond indices and yield curves as a preliminary indication of interest rate movements, and then make adjustments to the respective indices to reflect differences in the terms of the bonds covered under the indices in comparison to the projected outflow of our obligations. Our overall expected long-term rate of return on pension assets is based on historical and expected future returns, which are inflation adjusted and weighted for the expected return for each component of the investment portfolio. Our rate of assumed compensation increase is also based on our specific historical trends of wage adjustments. | |||||||||||||||||
We account for our defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans by recognizing the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. We also recognize in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) certain gains and losses that arose during the period. See Note 6 for key assumptions and further discussion related to our pension and postretirement plans. | |||||||||||||||||
Environmental Liabilities | |||||||||||||||||
Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to future revenue generation, are expensed. A reserve is established when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These reserves are determined without consideration of possible loss recoveries from third parties. | |||||||||||||||||
Specific costs included in environmental expense and reserves include site assessment, development of a remediation plan, clean-up costs, post-remediation expenditures, monitoring, fines, penalties and legal fees. Reserve amounts represent the expected undiscounted future cash outflows associated with such plans and actions. | |||||||||||||||||
Self Insurance | |||||||||||||||||
We are also involved in other possible claims, including product and general liability, workers' compensation, auto liability and employment related matters. Such claims in the United States have deductibles and self-insured retentions ranging from $25 thousand to $1.0 million per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the type of coverage and policy period. International deductibles and self-insured retentions are lower. We are also generally self-insured up to certain stop-loss limits for certain employee health benefits, including medical, drug and dental. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims and outside actuarial analysis, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Such estimated reserves are classified as Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-Term Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition - Sales and Rentals | |||||||||||||||||
Net revenue reflects gross revenue less sales discounts and allowances and customer returns for product sales and rental revenue reserves. Revenue is evaluated under the following criteria and recognized when each is met: | |||||||||||||||||
• | Evidence of an arrangement: An agreement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions to deliver products or services serves as evidence of an arrangement. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Delivery: For products, delivery is considered to occur upon receipt by the customer and the transfer of title and risk of loss. For rental services, delivery is considered to occur when the services are rendered. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Fixed or determinable price: The sales price is considered fixed or determinable if it is not subject to refund or adjustment. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Collection is deemed probable: At or prior to the time of a transaction, credit reviews of each customer are performed to determine the creditworthiness of the customer. Collection is deemed probable if the customer is expected to be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as those amounts become due. If collection is not probable, revenue is recognized when collection becomes probable, generally upon cash collection. | ||||||||||||||||
As a general interpretation of the above guidelines, revenue for health care and surgical products are generally recognized upon delivery of the products to the customer and their assumption of risk of loss and other risks and rewards of ownership. Local business customs and non-standard sales terms can sometimes result in deviations to this normal practice in certain instances; however, in no case is revenue recognized prior to the transfer of risk of loss and rewards of ownership. | |||||||||||||||||
For non-invasive therapy products and medical equipment management services, the majority of product offerings are rental products for which revenue is recognized consistent with the rendering of the service and use of products. For The Vest® product, revenue is generally recognized at the time of receipt of authorization for billing from the applicable paying entity as this serves as evidence of the arrangement and sets a fixed or determinable price. | |||||||||||||||||
For health care products and services aimed at improving operational efficiency and asset utilization, various revenue recognition techniques are used, depending on the offering. Arrangements to provide services, routinely under separately sold service and maintenance contracts, result in the deferral of revenue until specified services are performed. Service contract revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract period, if applicable, or as services are rendered. Product-related goods are generally recognized upon delivery to the customer. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue is presented in the Statements of Consolidated Income net of certain discounts and sales adjustments. For product sales, we record reserves resulting in a reduction of revenue for contractual discounts, as well as price concessions and product returns. Likewise, rental revenue reserves, reflecting contractual and other routine billing adjustments, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Reserves for revenue are estimated based upon historical rates for revenue adjustments. | |||||||||||||||||
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Units | |||||||||||||||||
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue producing transaction between us and our customers, including but not limited to sales taxes, use taxes, and value added taxes, are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenue and cost) basis. | |||||||||||||||||
Cost of Revenue | |||||||||||||||||
Cost of goods sold for capital sales consists primarily of purchased material costs, fixed manufacturing expense, variable direct labor, overhead costs and costs associated with the distribution and delivery of products to our customers. Rental expenses consist of costs associated directly with rental revenue, including depreciation, maintenance, logistics and service center facility and personnel costs. | |||||||||||||||||
Research and Development Costs | |||||||||||||||||
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs were $70.2 million, $66.9 million and $63.8 million for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011. | |||||||||||||||||
In addition, certain software development technology costs are capitalized as intangibles and are amortized over a period of three to five years once the software is ready for its intended use. The amount capitalized during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $2.4 million, $2.3 million and $2.1 million. | |||||||||||||||||
Advertising Costs | |||||||||||||||||
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Costs were $7.4 million, $4.4 million and $4.0 million for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011. | |||||||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income | |||||||||||||||||
We include the net-of-tax effect of unrealized gains or losses on our available-for-sale securities, foreign currency translation adjustments and pension or other defined benefit postretirement plans' actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits in comprehensive income. | |||||||||||||||||
The composition of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of applicable taxes, is as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

Total | $ | (35.7 | ) | $ | (78.0 | ) | $ | (79.0 | ) | ||||||||
Foreign Currency Translation | |||||||||||||||||
The functional currency of foreign operations is generally the local currency in the country of domicile. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are primarily translated into U.S. dollars at year-end rates of exchange and the income statements are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Adjustments resulting from translation of the financial statements of foreign operations into U.S. dollars are excluded from the determination of net income, but included as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in our results of operations and are not material. | |||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||
We account for stock-based compensation under fair value provisions. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. In order to determine the fair value of stock options and other performance-based stock awards on the date of grant, we utilize a Binomial model. Inherent in this model are assumptions related to a volatility factor, expected life, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and expected forfeitures. The risk-free interest rate is based on factual data derived from public sources. The volatility factor, expected life, dividend yield and expected forfeiture assumptions require judgment utilizing historical information, peer data and future expectations. Deferred stock (also known as restricted stock units ("RSUs")) is measured based on the fair market price of our common stock on the date of grant, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, multiplied by the number of units granted. See Note 7 for further details. | |||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||
The Company and our eligible domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. income tax return. Foreign operations file income tax returns in a number of jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are computed using an asset and liability approach to reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. We have a variety of deferred tax assets in numerous tax jurisdictions. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessment as to recoverability and if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recognized. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that we would recover these deferred tax assets, future taxable income, the reversal of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies are considered. | |||||||||||||||||
We account for uncertain income tax positions using a threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The difference between the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for an uncertain income tax position and the tax benefit claimed in the tax return is referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit. See Note 9 for further details. | |||||||||||||||||
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity | |||||||||||||||||
We use derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in currency exchange and interest rates. Derivative financial instruments related to currency exchange rates include forward purchase and sale agreements which generally have terms no greater than 15 months. Additionally, interest rate swaps are used to convert some or all of our long term debt to either a fixed or variable rate. | |||||||||||||||||
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in the Statement of Consolidated Income or Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), depending on whether a derivative is designated and considered effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) are subsequently included in the Statement of Consolidated Income in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. These activities have not had a material effect on our financial position or results of operations for the periods presented herein. | |||||||||||||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | |||||||||||||||||
In December 2011, the FASB issued a standard increasing disclosure about offsetting assets and liabilities. For financial instruments and derivative instruments, the standard requires disclosure of the gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities, the amounts offset on the balance sheet, and the amounts subject to the offsetting requirements but not offset on the balance sheet. In January 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance which clarified that the 2011 amendment to the balance sheet offsetting standard does not cover transactions that are not considered part of the guidance for derivatives and hedge accounting. The standard is effective for fiscal 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. | |||||||||||||||||
In July 2012, the FASB issued an amendment to the authoritative guidance on the annual impairment test on indefinite-lived intangible assets. The amendment provides the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current quantitative test. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The amendment will be effective beginning October 1, 2013, however early adoption is permitted. We will consider applying this guidance in connection with future annual intangible impairment tests. We do not expect this to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements | |||||||||||||||||
In February 2013, an accounting standards update was issued that amends the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. However, the guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, either on the face of the financial statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal 2014 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Aspen Surgical | |||||
On July 23, 2012, we completed a stock purchase agreement with the stockholders and optionholders of Aspen Surgical Products Holding, Inc. ("Aspen Surgical") to acquire the entire equity interest in Aspen Surgical. Aspen Surgical provides a portfolio of well-established surgical consumable and specialty medical products, focused on improving the safety of patients and health care professionals. The product lines include market leading Bard-Parker® conventional and safety scalpels and blades, Colby™ fluid collection products, Richard-Allan™ specialty needles, a variety of other operating room disposables and instrument care products as well as wound care dressings. The acquisition of Aspen Surgical further develops our surgical business, adding a portfolio of consumable products and expanding our position in the North American and European surgical markets. | |||||
The purchase price for Aspen Surgical was $402.2 million ($399.8 million net of cash acquired), which was reduced to $401.2 million, resulting from a $1.0 million purchase price adjustment in fiscal 2013. We funded the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The results of Aspen Surgical are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. | |||||
Throughout fiscal 2013, we made certain adjustments to the opening balance sheet as of the acquisition date as we finalized the purchase price with the seller. The following summarizes the revised fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. | |||||
Amount | |||||
Inventory | $ | 25.6 | |||
Other current assets | 19.7 | ||||

Goodwill was allocated entirely to our Surgical and Respiratory Care segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. | |||||
Our total revenue on an unaudited proforma basis, as if the Aspen Surgical acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of our 2011 fiscal year, would have been higher by approximately $92.3 million and $118.1 million for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Net income, on an unaudited proforma basis, would have been higher by approximately $5.7 million and $11.1 million for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and earnings per diluted share would have been higher by $0.09 and $0.17 for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The unaudited pro forma results are based on the Company's historical financial statements and those of the Aspen Surgical business and do not necessarily indicate the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the comparable period presented and are not indicative of the results of operations in future periods. | |||||
Völker | |||||
On February 13, 2012, we acquired the Germany-based Völker group ("Völker"). Völker is a leading manufacturer of long-term care and acute care bed frames, surfaces and furniture in Europe and around the world. This transaction is expected to strengthen the Company's channels and product offerings in Europe, and furthers our objective of completing strategically relevant and value-enhancing acquisitions. The complementary Völker products will also further develop the Company's global portfolio, accelerate international expansion, and leverage existing sales channels and customer relationships. The purchase price for Völker was $80.7 million ($77.0 million net of cash acquired), which was reduced to $76.7 million, resulting from a $4.0 million purchase price adjustment, $1.2 million of which was recorded as a receivable from the seller as of September 30, 2013. The results of Völker are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. | |||||
During the fourth quarter of 2012, we made certain adjustments to the opening balance sheet as of the acquisition date as we finalized the purchase price with the seller. During the second and fourth quarters of 2013, we made additional adjustments to the opening balance sheet related to the finalization of certain liabilities existing at the date of acquisition. The following summarizes the revised fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. | |||||
Amount | |||||
Goodwill | $ | 32.9 | |||
Trade name (7-year useful life) | 12.3 | ||||
Customer relationships (8-year weighted average useful life) | 17.5 | ||||
Net assets acquired | 24.6 | ||||
Deferred tax liability | (10.6 | ) | |||
Total purchase price | $ | 76.7 | |||
Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and was allocated entirely to our International segment. | |||||
Our total revenue on an unaudited proforma basis, as if the Völker acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of our 2011 fiscal year, would have been higher by approximately $49.9 million and $117.0 million for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The impact to net income on an unaudited proforma basis would not have been significant to our financial results for those years. | |||||
Encompass Joint Venture | |||||
On November 9, 2009, we entered into a joint venture with Encompass Group, LLC ("Encompass Group"), a leader in health care textiles and therapeutic and prevention surfaces, to form Encompass TSS, LLC ("Encompass"). This joint venture included contributed former assets of Encompass Therapeutic Support Systems ("ETSS"), a division of Encompass Group and was 60 percent owned by us and 40 percent owned by Encompass Group. Encompass Group, through its ETSS business unit, traditionally focused on providing surface replacement systems. For our 60 percent ownership interest in the Encompass JV we paid $7.5 million to Encompass Group, contributed cash and entered into license and distribution agreements with Encompass JV. | |||||
The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of formation. | |||||
Amount | |||||
Goodwill | $ | 8 | |||
Trade Name (7-year useful life) | 1.5 | ||||
Customer relationships (7-year useful life) | 7.7 | ||||
Technology (5-year useful life) | 2.4 | ||||
Net liabilities assumed | (0.7 | ) | |||
Noncontrolling interest | (7.5 | ) | |||
Additional paid-in-capital | (3.9 | ) | |||
Total purchase price | $ | 7.5 | |||
The Encompass JV agreements contained both a put option for Encompass Group and a call option for us, requiring or allowing us to purchase the remaining 40 percent interest based on predetermined earnings multiples. Changes to the value of the put were accreted to noncontrolling interest in our Consolidated Balance Sheet with the offset being recorded as a component of retained earnings. | |||||
The goodwill of $8.0 million arising from the Encompass JV consisted largely of the synergies created from combining ETSS's focus on customer replacement surfaces with our platform brands. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes and was allocated entirely to our North America segment. | |||||
On November 30, 2010, we exercised our call option and purchased the remaining 40 percent of Encompass for $10.6 million, plus a variable earn-out with a minimum of $1.2 million and a maximum of $1.6 million per year over five years. We have a total of $3.0 million accrued in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2013 related to the earn-out. |

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES | ' | ||||||||||||||||
NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES | |||||||||||||||||
We perform an impairment assessment on goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles on an annual basis during our third fiscal quarter, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. The assessments during the third quarter of 2013, 2012 and 2011 indicated that there was no impairment. | |||||||||||||||||
During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we were required to perform an interim impairment test on a trade name, triggered by strategic changes in how the asset would be utilized on a go forward basis. The fair value of the trade name was calculated with assistance from a third party valuation firm and resulted in a charge of $8.0 million, as disclosed in Note 8. The relief from royalty approach was used by applying a royalty rate to future revenue projections and then a discount rate was applied. All Hill-Rom-specific data and analytics, including estimates and assumptions, used in the valuation prepared by the third party valuation firm were either prepared or validated by us. Management takes full responsibility for this data and the ultimate results of the valuation work. The fair value measurement was classified as Level 3, as described in Note 5. | |||||||||||||||||
As discussed in Note 11, we operate in three reportable business segments. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, which is one level below a reportable business segment. We have determined that we have nine reporting units. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded and has been reallocated as necessary based on the restructuring of reporting units over time. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or organically grown, are available to support the value of the goodwill. | |||||||||||||||||
A 10 percent reduction in the fair value of any of our reporting units would not result in an impairment charge. | |||||||||||||||||

See Note 2 for further details. | |||||||||||||||||
During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we acquired Völker and recorded goodwill on the acquisition of $34.8 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we acquired Aspen Surgical and recorded goodwill on the acquisition of $215.3 million. See Note 2 for further details. | |||||||||||||||||
Indefinite-lived intangible assets | |||||||||||||||||
We have various indefinite-lived intangible assets representing trade names with a carrying value of $32.9 million at both September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. Testing for impairment must be performed annually, or on an interim basis upon the occurrence of a triggering event or change in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. The annual evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets performed during the third fiscal quarter of 2013, 2012, and 2011 did not result in impairment. |

We have trade finance credit lines and uncommitted letter of credit facilities. These lines are associated with the normal course of business and are not currently, nor have they historically, been of material size to the overall business. | |||||||||
Unsecured debentures outstanding at September 30, 2013 have fixed rates of interest. We have deferred gains included in the amounts above from the termination of previous interest rate swap agreements, and those deferred gains amounted to less than $1 million at both September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. The deferred gains on the termination of the swaps are being amortized and recognized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt through 2025, and as a result, the effective interest rates on that debt have been and will continue to be lower than the stated interest rates on the debt. | |||||||||
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we entered into a credit facility. The credit facility provides for revolving loans of up to $500.0 million, plus term loans in the aggregate amount of $200.0 million. It is to be used for general corporate purposes, including financing permitted acquisitions. The Company may request to increase the revolving loan commitment and the amount of the term loans by up to an additional $250.0 million. All amounts due under the credit facility mature upon expiration on August 24, 2017. The term loans will amortize so that 37.5 percent of the principal will be repaid over the five year term, with the balance due at maturity. The credit facility replaced in its entirety our previous $500.0 million credit agreement entered in 2008. Borrowings under the credit facility and term loan bear interest at variable rates specified therein, that for fiscal 2013 were under 2.0 percent, and the availability of borrowings is subject to our ability at the time of borrowing to meet certain specified conditions, including compliance with covenants contained in the credit agreement governing the facility. The covenants, among other things, require us to maintain a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the credit agreement) of not more than 3.5:1.0 and a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 3.5:1.0. The proceeds of the five-year facility shall be used, as needed: (i) for working capital, capital expenditures, and other lawful corporate purposes; and (ii) to finance acquisitions. | |||||||||
As of September 30, 2013, we had outstanding borrowings of $70.0 million and undrawn letters of credit of $5.3 million under the facility, leaving $424.7 million of available borrowing capacity. The outstanding balance on the term loan was $187.4 million at September 30, 2013, of which $11.2 million is recognized as the current portion of the balance due. | |||||||||
The fair value of our debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities. The book values of our short-term debt instruments approximate fair value. The estimated fair values of our long-term unsecured debentures were $52.5 million and $56.2 million at September 30, 2013 and 2012, and were based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in markets that are not active. The estimated fair value of our term loan was $185.5 million and $197.5 million based on quoted prices for similar liabilities at September 30, 2013 and 2012. The fair value measurements for both our long-term unsecured debentures and our term loan were classified as Level 2, as described in Note 5. | |||||||||
The Company is exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates. The Company sometimes manages its exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swaps (cash flow hedges). As of September 30, 2013, we had one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $135.0 million to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with a portion of the term loan variable interest rate payments for the period of January 2014 to August 2017. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The fair value as of September 30, 2013 was less than $0.1 million. We did not have any interest rate swap agreements in effect during fiscal 2012 or 2011. |

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | |||||||||||||||||
Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: | |||||||||||||||||
· | Level 1: Financial instruments with unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets and liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||
· | Level 2: Financial instruments with observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||
· | Level 3: Financial instruments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs shall be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include our own data. | ||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, measured at fair value on a recurring basis: | |||||||||||||||||

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value. | |||||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2013 and 2012, we had $7.3 million of AAA rated investment securities which consisted primarily of student loan auction rate securities. While we continue to earn interest on the ARS at the contractual rate, these investments are not currently being bought and sold in an active market and therefore do not have readily determinable market values. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, our investment advisors provided a valuation based on unobservable inputs for the ARS. The investment advisors utilized a discounted cash flow approach (an "income approach") to arrive at this valuation, which was corroborated by separate and comparable discounted cash flow analysis prepared by us. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include estimates of interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows, credit spread related yield and illiquidity premiums, and expected holding periods of the ARS. These assumptions are volatile and subject to change as the underlying sources of these assumptions and market conditions change. See below for a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances of these assets and the related change in the fair value of these assets during fiscal 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Currently, we intend, and believe we have the ability to hold these assets until market conditions are more favorable. If current market conditions do not improve or worsen, the result could be further realized or unrealized losses. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table presents the activity related to our ARS during the fiscal year. | |||||||||||||||||

Financial instruments not carried at fair value consist of our debt. See further fair value discussion in Note 4. | |||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. |

RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
NOTE 6. RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our retirement plans consist of defined benefit plans, a postretirement healthcare plan, and defined contribution savings plans. Plans cover certain employees both in and outside of the U.S. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Retirement Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We sponsor four defined benefit plans. Those plans include a master defined benefit retirement plan, a nonqualified supplemental executive defined benefit retirement plan, and two defined benefit retirement plans covering employees in Germany and France. Benefits for such plans are based primarily on years of service and the employee's level of compensation during specific periods of employment. We contribute funds to trusts as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded projected future benefit obligation over a reasonable period of time. All of our plans have a September 30th measurement date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Effect on Operations | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The components of net periodic benefit cost for our defined benefit retirement plans were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

In addition to the amounts above, net actuarial losses of $51.3 million and prior service costs of $2.4 million, less an applicable aggregate tax effect of $20.0 million are included as components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) at September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2012, net actuarial losses of $100.0 million and prior service costs of $2.4 million, less an applicable aggregate tax effect of $38.7 million, were included as components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for our defined benefit retirement plans that will be amortized from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $3.2 million and $0.6 million. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accumulated Benefit Obligation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $278.8 million and $302.4 million at September 30, 2013 and 2012. Selected information for our plans, including plans with accumulated benefit obligations exceeding plan assets, was as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Weighted average assumptions to determined benefit | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
obligations at the measurement date: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Discount rate for obligation | 5.00% | 4.10% | 4.60% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Rate of compensation increase | 3.30% | 3.30% | 3.50% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Weighted average assumptions to determined benefit | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
cost for the year: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Discount rate for expense | 4.10% | 4.60% | 5.10% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Expected rate of return on plan assets | 7.00% | 7.50% | 7.50% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Rate of compensation increase | 3.30% | 3.50% | 3.50% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The discount rates used in the valuation of our defined benefit pension plans are evaluated annually based on current market conditions. In setting these rates we utilize long-term bond indices and yield curves as a preliminary indication of interest rate movements, and then make adjustments to the respective indices to reflect differences in the terms of the bonds covered under the indices in comparison to the projected outflow of our pension obligations. The overall expected long-term rate of return is based on historical and expected future returns, which are inflation adjusted and weighted for the expected return for each component of the investment portfolio, as well as taking into consideration economic and capital market conditions. The rate of assumed compensation increase is also based on our specific historical trends of past wage adjustments. The weighted average assumptions used for our international plans are lower than our domestic plan assumptions and do not significantly affect the consolidated net benefit obligation or net periodic benefit cost balances. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Plan Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The weighted average asset allocations of our master defined benefit retirement plan at September 30, 2013 and 2012, by asset category, along with target allocations, are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Target | Target | Actual | Actual | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Allocation | Allocation | Allocation | Allocation | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Equity securities | 40 - 60% | 40 - 60% | 57% | 50% | |||||||||||||||||||||
Fixed income securities | 40 - 60% | 40 - 60% | 43% | 50% | |||||||||||||||||||||
Total | 100% | 100% | |||||||||||||||||||||||
We have a Plan Committee that sets investment guidelines with the assistance of an external consultant. These guidelines are established based on market conditions, risk tolerance, funding requirements and expected benefit payments. The Plan Committee also oversees the investment allocation process, selects the investment managers and monitors asset performance. As pension liabilities are long-term in nature, we employ a long-term total return approach to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Target allocations are guidelines, not limitations, and plan fiduciaries may occasionally approve allocations above or below a target range or elect to rebalance the portfolio within the targeted range. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The investment portfolio contains a diversified portfolio of primarily equities and fixed income securities. Securities are also diversified in terms of domestic and international securities, short- and long-term securities, growth and value styles, large cap and small cap stocks. The Plan Committee believes with prudent risk tolerance and asset diversification, the account should be able to meet its pension obligations in the future. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trust assets are invested subject to the following policy restrictions: short-term securities must be rated A2/P2 or higher; all fixed-income securities shall have a credit quality rating "BBB" or higher; investments in equities in any one company may not exceed 10 percent of the equity portfolio. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Level 2 fixed income securities are commingled funds valued using the net asset value ("NAV") unit price provided by the fund administrator. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, all of which are publicly traded securities. For further descriptions of the asset Levels used in the above chart, refer to Note 5. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash Flows | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our U.S. qualified defined benefit plan is funded in excess of 80 percent, and therefore we expect that the plan will not be subject to the "at risk" funding requirements of the Pension Protection Act. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
During 2013 and 2012, we contributed cash of $1.0 million and $1.0 million to our defined benefit retirement plans. We do not expect to contribute to our master defined benefit retirement plan in fiscal year 2014 due to the current funding level; however, minimal contributions will be required for our unfunded plans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Estimated Future Benefit Payments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The benefit payments, which are expected to be funded through plan assets and company contributions and reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pension Benefits | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2014 | $ | 10.8 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2015 | $ | 11.6 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2016 | $ | 12.5 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

2018 | $ | 14.2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2019-2023 | $ | 88.5 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Defined Contribution Savings Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We have defined contribution savings plans that cover substantially all U.S. employees and certain non-U.S. employees. The general purpose of these plans is to provide additional financial security during retirement by providing employees with an incentive to make regular savings. Company contributions to the plans are based on eligibility and employee contributions. Expense under these plans was $15.8 million, $13.3 million and $13.0 million in fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Postretirement Health Care Plan | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to defined benefit retirement plans, we also offer a domestic postretirement health care plan that provides health care benefits to qualified retirees and their dependents. The plan includes retiree cost sharing provisions and generally extends retiree coverage for medical, prescription and dental benefits beyond the COBRA continuation period to the date of Medicare eligibility. We use a measurement date of September 30 for this plan. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The postretirement health care plan reflected a credit during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 of ($0.1) million, ($0.3) million and ($0.1) million. The change in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Years Ended September 30 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Change in benefit obligation: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Accrued benefits obligation, long-term | 9.3 | 9.1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Net amount recognized | $ | 9.8 | $ | 9.6 | |||||||||||||||||||||
During fiscal 2013 and 2012, we contributed $0.3 million and $0.6 million to the plan. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to the amounts above, net actuarial gains of $1.8 million and prior service credits of $3.0 million, less an applicable aggregate tax effect of ($1.9) million are included as components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) at September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2012, net actuarial gains of $1.6 million and prior service credits of $3.8 million, less an applicable aggregate tax effect of $2.1 million are included as components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The estimated net actuarial gain and prior service benefit for our postretirement health care plan that will be amortized from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $0.0 million and ($0.9) million. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The discount rate used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for the postretirement health care plan during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 3.3, 4.0 and 4.4 percent. The discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation as of September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 4.1, 3.3 and 4.0 percent. As of September 30, the health care-cost trend rates were assumed to decrease as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Year 1 | 6.25% | 6.75% | 7.25% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Year 2 | 5.75% | 6.25% | 6.75% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Year 3 | 5.25% | 5.75% | 6.25% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Year 4 | 5.00% | 5.25% | 5.75% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Year 5 | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.25% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Year 6 | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Year 7 | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Year 8 and beyond | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
A one-percentage-point increase/decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rates as of September 30, 2013 would cause an increase/decrease in service and interest costs of less than $0.1 million, along with an increase/decrease in the benefit obligation of $0.9 million and $0.8 million. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We fund the postretirement health care plan as benefits are paid, and current plan benefits are expected to require net company contributions of approximately $0.5 million in fiscal 2014 and less than $1.0 million per year thereafter. |

We repurchased 2.8 million, 1.5 million and 3.0 million shares of our common stock during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 for $92.7 million, $42.4 million and $110.0 million, respectively, in the open market. In September 2013, the Board approved an expansion of its previously announced share repurchase authorization to a total of $190.0 million. Prior to the September 2013 approval, which changed the authorization to a dollar value as opposed to share count, we had 1.2 million shares remaining available for purchase. The plan does not have an expiration date and currently there are no plans to terminate this program in the future. | ||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||||
We have stock-based compensation plans under which employees and non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. In addition to stock options, we grant performance share units ("PSUs") and RSUs to certain management level employees and vested deferred stock to non-employee directors. We also offer eligible employees the opportunity to buy shares of our common stock at a discount via an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP was approved by our shareholders in fiscal 2009 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements in any fiscal year. | ||||||||||||||
Our primary stock-based compensation program is the Stock Incentive Plan, which has been approved by our shareholders. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, we have a total of 15.3 million authorized shares. At September 30, 2013, 4.8 million shares were available for future grants under our stock-based compensation plans. We generally settle our stock-based awards with treasury shares. As of September 30, 2013, we had 21.8 million treasury shares available for use to settle stock-based awards. | ||||||||||||||
The following table sets forth a summary of the annual stock-based compensation cost that was charged against income for all types of awards: | ||||||||||||||
Years Ended September 30 | ||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||||||||
Total stock-based compensation cost (pre-tax) | $ | 13.5 | $ | 11.6 | $ | 12.2 | ||||||||

Total stock-based compensation cost, net of tax | $ | 8.6 | $ | 7.4 | $ | 7.7 | ||||||||
Stock Options | ||||||||||||||
Stock options granted by our Compensation Committee under the Stock Incentive Plan are non-qualified stock options. These awards are generally granted with exercise prices equal to the average of the high and low prices of our common stock on the date of grant. They vest in equal annual installments over a three or four year period and the maximum contractual term is ten years. We use a Binomial option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options, and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. | ||||||||||||||
The following table sets forth the weighted average fair value per share of stock options and the related valuation assumptions used in the determination of those fair values: | ||||||||||||||
Years Ended September 30 | ||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||||||||
Weighted average fair value per share | $ | 7.91 | $ | 9.79 | $ | 12.31 | ||||||||
Valuation assumptions: | ||||||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.60% | 1.00% | 1.20% | |||||||||||
Expected dividend yield | 1.90% | 1.40% | 1.10% | |||||||||||
Expected volatility | 40.20% | 41.20% | 37.30% | |||||||||||
Weighted average expected life | 4.9 years | 4.8 years | 5.3 years | |||||||||||
The risk-free interest rate is based upon observed U.S. Treasury interest rates appropriate for the term of our employee stock options. Expected dividend yield is based on the history and our expectation of dividend payouts. For fiscal 2013, expected volatility was based on our historical stock price volatility. In fiscal 2012 and 2011, expected volatility was based on the median of our Peer Group. The change in assumption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Expected life represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is a derived output of the Binomial model. The expected life of employee stock options is impacted by the above assumptions as well as the post-vesting forfeiture rate and the exercise factor used in the Binomial model. These two variables are based on the history of exercises and forfeitures for previous stock options granted by us. | ||||||||||||||

-1 | The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $35.83, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2013. This amount, which changes continuously based on the fair value of our common stock, would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of the balance sheet date. | |||||||||||||
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $1.6 million, $1.3 million and $23.3 million. | ||||||||||||||
As of September 30, 2013, there was $6.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options granted under the Plan. This unrecognized compensation expense does not reflect a reduction for our estimate of potential forfeitures, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. | ||||||||||||||
Restricted Stock Units | ||||||||||||||
RSUs are granted to certain employees with fair values equal to the average of the high and low prices of our common stock on the date of grant, multiplied by the number of units granted. RSU grants are contingent upon continued employment and vest over periods ranging from one to five years. Dividends, payable in common stock equivalents, accrue on the grants and are subject to the same specified terms as the original grants, including the risk of forfeiture. | ||||||||||||||

As of September 30, 2013, there was $5.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested RSUs granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. This unrecognized compensation expense does not reflect a reduction for our estimate of potential forfeitures, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2 years. The total vest date fair value of shares that vested during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $5.8 million, $6.8 million and $15.9 million. | ||||||||||||||
Performance Share Units | ||||||||||||||
Our Compensation Committee grants PSUs to certain employees and these awards are subject to any stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar rights inuring to common stock, but unlike our RSUs are not entitled to dividend reinvestment. Vesting of the grants is contingent upon achievement of performance targets and corresponding service requirements. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of the PSUs is equal to the average of the high and low prices of our common stock on the date of grant, multiplied by the number of units granted. For PSUs with a market condition such as total shareholder return, the Monte-Carlo simulation method is used to determine fair value. The Monte-Carlo simulation is a generally accepted statistical technique used to generate a defined number of stock price paths in order to develop a reasonable estimate of the range of our and the Peer Group's future expected stock prices. | ||||||||||||||
The following table sets forth the weighted average fair value per share for total shareholder return PSUs and the related valuation assumptions used in the determination of those fair values: | ||||||||||||||

NOTE 8. SPECIAL CHARGES | |||||||||||||||||||||
Over the past several years, we have placed a focus on improving our cost structure and business processes through various means including consolidation of certain manufacturing and select back office operations, customer rationalizations and various other organizational changes. The charges associated with these actions are summarized below. | |||||||||||||||||||||
2013 Actions | |||||||||||||||||||||
· | During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we announced a plan to improve our cost structure and streamline our organization by eliminating in excess of 100 positions across the Company, roughly half of which are contract and open positions. This resulted in a special charge of $1.7 million related to severance and other benefits to be provided to affected employees. We also incurred a contract termination charge of $0.6 million, a non-cash asset impairment charge of $0.2 million related to a product discontinuance action and $1.0 million in other related costs. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2013, we continued actions under the previously announced plan and incurred charges of $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. These actions were substantially complete by the end of fiscal year 2013, but certain cash expenditures will occur in fiscal 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||
2012 Actions | |||||||||||||||||||||
· | During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4.7 million for certain tangible assets for which the carrying values could not be fully recovered as a result of strategic decisions made relative to the exiting of underperforming portions of our home care business. Also associated with this action was the elimination of approximately 100 positions and the related charge of $1.0 million, primarily related to severance and other benefits to be provided to the affected employees. These actions and the related cash expenditures were substantially complete by the end of fiscal year 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· | During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we announced a plan to improve our cost structure and streamline our organization by, among other things, eliminating approximately 200 positions across the Company resulting in a special charge of $9.3 million, net of reversals, recognized throughout fiscal 2012 primarily related to severance and other benefits to be provided to the affected employees, $0.6 million of which was determined to be excessive and was reversed in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. We also recorded an impairment of certain tangible assets for which the carrying values could not be fully recovered as a result of various strategic decisions, which resulted in a non-cash charge of $3.2 million. In addition, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $8.0 million related to a previously acquired trade name whose assessment was triggered by strategic changes in how the asset would be utilized on a go forward basis. These actions and the related cash expenditures were complete by the end of fiscal year 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||
2011 Actions | |||||||||||||||||||||
· | During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded an additional special charge of $2.6 million related to our fiscal 2010 fourth quarter action. The majority of the charge related to additional severance and other benefits provided to affected employees of that action as well as a write-down of assets held for sale. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded a benefit of $1.2 million primarily related to the net reversal of severance recorded in relation to our fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 restructuring action, partially offset by an additional write-down of assets held for sale. These actions and related cash expenditures were completed by the end of fiscal year 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||

At September 30, 2013, we had $37.7 million of deferred tax assets related to operating loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions that are subject to various carryforward periods with the majority eligible to be carried forward for an unlimited period. We also had $0.6 million of deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards, which expire between 2018 and 2026. For tax credits, we had $2.0 million of deferred tax assets related to state credits, which expire between 2014 and 2026. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The gross deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2013 were reduced by valuation allowances of $8.9 million primarily related to certain foreign deferred tax attributes as it is more likely than not that some portion or all of these tax attributes will not be realized. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that we would recover our deferred tax assets, future taxable income, the reversal of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies were considered. We believe that our estimates for the valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We operate under tax holidays in both Singapore and Puerto Rico. The Singapore tax holiday is effective through 2016 while the Puerto Rico tax holiday is effective through 2025. Both incentives are conditional on meeting certain employment and/or investment thresholds. The impact of these tax holidays decreased foreign taxes by $2.9 million in fiscal 2013, $1.7 million for fiscal 2012 and $0.7 million for fiscal 2011. The benefit of the tax holidays on net income per share (diluted) was $0.05, $0.03 and $0.01 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We file a consolidated federal income tax return as well as multiple state, local and foreign jurisdiction tax returns. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by the taxing authorities in each of the jurisdictions where we file tax returns. During fiscal 2013, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluded its audit for fiscal year 2011 and initiated its post-filing examination of the fiscal 2012 consolidated federal return. We continue to participate in the IRS Compliance Assurance Program ("CAP") for fiscal year 2013 and have submitted the application to remain in the CAP for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. The CAP provides the opportunity for the IRS to review certain tax matters prior to us filing our tax return for the year, thereby reducing the time it takes to complete the post-filing examination. We are also subject to state and local or foreign income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years back to fiscal 2007. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We also have on-going audits in various stages of completion in several state and foreign jurisdictions, one or more of which may conclude within the next 12 months. Such settlements could involve some or all of the following: the payment of additional taxes, the adjustment of certain deferred taxes and/or the recognition of unrecognized tax benefits. The resolution of these matters, in combination with the expiration of certain statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions, make it reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may decrease as a result of either payment or recognition by approximately $2 to $3 million in the next twelve months, excluding interest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $4.6 million, $9.8 million and $17.8 million, which includes $3.9 million, $8.4 million and $11.5 million that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate in future periods. The remaining amount relates to items which, if recognized, would not impact our effective tax rate. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Basic earnings per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the period, plus the effect of deferred vested shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated consistent with the basic earnings per share calculation plus the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to stock-based employee compensation programs. For all years presented, anti-dilutive stock options were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share. Excluded shares were 1.4 million, 1.4 million and 0.6 million for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011.

SEGMENT REPORTING | ' | ||||||||||||
NOTE 11. SEGMENT REPORTING | |||||||||||||
We disclose segment information that is consistent with the way in which management operates and views the business. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we changed our definition of divisional income within our segment reporting as outlined below. All segment information included below has been updated to reflect these changes. | |||||||||||||
Our operating structure consists of the following three reporting segments: | |||||||||||||
· | North America - sells and rents our patient support and near-patient technologies and services, as well as our health information technology solutions, in the U.S. and Canada. | ||||||||||||
· | Surgical and Respiratory Care - sells and rents our surgical and respiratory care products. | ||||||||||||
· | International - sells and rents similar products as our North America segment in regions outside of the U.S. and Canada. | ||||||||||||
Our performance under each reportable segment is measured on a divisional income basis before corporate expenses and other non-allocated operating costs, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, litigation and special charges. Divisional income generally represents the division's gross profit less its direct operating costs along with an allocation of manufacturing and distribution costs, research and development and certain corporate functional expenses. | |||||||||||||
Corporate expenses and other non-allocated operating costs, while not considered a segment, are presented separately to aid in the reconciliation of segment information to consolidated financial information. Corporate expenses include functional expenses that support the entire organization such as administration, finance, legal and human resources. Other non-allocated operating costs generally include expenses associated with strategic developments and other unusual events that are not indicative of operating trends. We exclude such amounts from divisional income to allow management to evaluate and understand divisional operating trends without the effects of such items. | |||||||||||||

During fiscal 2013, we terminated a long-term agreement with IBM to manage our global information structure environment that expired in September 2014 and paid a termination fee of $0.6 million, which was accrued as of September 30, 2012. | |||||
Self Insurance | |||||
We are also involved in other possible claims, including product and general liability, workers' compensation, auto liability and employment related matters. Such claims in the United States have deductibles and self-insured retentions ranging from $25 thousand to $1.0 million per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the type of coverage and policy period. International deductibles and self-insured retentions are lower. We are also generally self-insured up to certain stop-loss limits for certain employee health benefits, including medical, drug and dental. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims and outside actuarial analysis, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Such estimated reserves are classified as Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-Term Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |||||
Legal Proceedings | |||||
Stryker Litigation | |||||
On April 4, 2011, we filed two separate actions against Stryker Corporation alleging infringement of certain Hill-Rom patents covering proprietary communications networks, status information systems and powered wheels used in our beds or stretchers. Both suits seek monetary damages and injunctions against Stryker for selling or distributing any beds, stretchers or ancillary products that infringe Hill-Rom's patents. Stryker responded with counterclaims seeking declaratory judgment for noninfringement and invalidity for several of the patents at issue, and has filed counterclaims alleging infringement of three of their patents. On August 14, 2012, we entered into a confidential favorable settlement agreement with Stryker Corporation fully resolving all of their counterclaims and our lawsuit regarding claims about our powered wheel patents. The remaining lawsuit does not contain counterclaims alleging infringement of Stryker's patents. No trial date for the remaining lawsuit has been set. Because the litigation is in a preliminary stage, we cannot assess the likelihood of a positive or negative outcome or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential damages, nor can we give any assurances that this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | |||||
Office of Inspector General Investigation | |||||
In June 2011, we reached agreement with respect to a tentative financial settlement related to a qui tam complaint under the False Claims Act and recognized a charge in the third quarter of $42.3 million. This settlement was finalized and paid in September 2011. Concurrently with this settlement, we entered into a five year Corporate Integrity Agreement, which provides for certain other compliance-related activities during the five year term of the agreement, including specific written standards, monitoring, training, education, independent review, disclosure and reporting requirements. We did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. | |||||
Freedom Medical Antitrust Litigation | |||||
In September 2011, we settled an action brought by Freedom Medical, Inc. against us, another manufacturer and two group purchasing organizations alleging violations of antitrust laws in exchange for a payment of $5.0 million. We did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. | |||||
General | |||||
We are subject to various other claims and contingencies arising out of the normal course of business, including those relating to governmental investigations and proceedings, commercial transactions, product liability, employee related matters, antitrust, safety, health, taxes, environmental and other matters. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation matters for which reserves have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |

Nature of Operations | |||||||||||||||||
Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (the "Company," "Hill-Rom," "we," "us," or "our") was incorporated on August 7, 1969 in the State of Indiana and is headquartered in Batesville, Indiana. We are a leading worldwide manufacturer and provider of medical technologies and related services for the health care industry, including patient care systems, safe mobility and handling solutions, non-invasive therapeutic products for a variety of acute and chronic medical conditions, medical equipment rentals, surgical products and information technology solutions. Our comprehensive product and service offerings are used by health care providers across the health care continuum and around the world in hospitals, extended care facilities and home care settings, to enhance the safety and quality of patient care. | |||||||||||||||||

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||||||||||
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hill-Rom and its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned as of September 30, 2013. During the first quarter of our fiscal 2011, we acquired the remaining 40 percent noncontrolling interest in a former joint venture (Note 2). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Examples of such estimates include our accounts receivable reserves (Note 1), accrued warranties (Note 1), the impairment of intangibles and goodwill (Note 3), investments (Note 5), income taxes (Note 9) and commitments and contingencies (Note 13), among others. | |||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||||||
We consider investments in marketable securities and other highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments which have no stated maturity are also considered cash equivalents. All of our marketable securities may be freely traded. | |||||||||||||||||
Investment Securities | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Investment Securities | |||||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2013, investment securities consisted primarily of AAA rated student loan auction rate securities ("ARS"). These securities are generally insured through the U.S. government's Federal Family Education Loan Program, to the extent the borrowers meet certain prescribed criteria in their underlying lending practices. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and changes in their fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("AOCL"). | |||||||||||||||||
We regularly evaluate all investments classified as available-for-sale for possible impairment based on current economic conditions, credit loss experience and other criteria. The evaluation of investments for impairment requires significant judgments to be made including (i) the identification of potentially impaired securities; (ii) the determination of their estimated fair value; (iii) the assessment of whether any decline in estimated fair value is other-than-temporary; and (iv) the likelihood of selling before recovery. If there is a decline in a security's net realizable value that is other-than-temporary and we are not likely to sell before recovery, the decline is separated into the amount of impairment related to credit loss and the amount of impairment related to all other factors. The decline related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings, while the decline related to all other factors is recognized in AOCL. | |||||||||||||||||
See Note 5 for further details on our fair value measurements. | |||||||||||||||||
Trade Accounts Receivable | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Trade Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||||||
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, unless the transaction is an installment sale with payment terms exceeding one year. Reserves for uncollectible accounts represent our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses and collection risk in our existing accounts receivable. We determine such reserves based on historical write-off experience by industry and reimbursement platform. Receivables are generally reviewed on a pooled basis based on historical collection experience for each reimbursement and receivable type. Receivables for capital sales transactions are also reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. We do not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers. If circumstances change, such as higher than expected claims denials, payment defaults, changes in our business composition or processes, adverse changes in general economic conditions, unfavorable impacts of austerity measures initiated by some governmental authorities, instability or disruption of credit markets, or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer's or payor's ability to meet its obligations, our estimates of the realizability of trade receivables could be reduced by a material amount. | |||||||||||||||||
Within rental revenue, the domestic third-party payors' reimbursement process requires extensive documentation, which has had the effect of slowing both the billing and cash collection cycles relative to the rest of the business, and therefore, increasing total accounts receivable. Because of the extensive documentation required and the requirement to settle a claim with the primary payor prior to billing the secondary and/or patient portion of the claim, the collection period for a claim in a portion of our business may, in some cases, be extended. | |||||||||||||||||
We generally hold our trade accounts receivable until they are paid. Certain long-term receivables are occasionally sold to third parties; however, any recognized gain or loss on such sales has historically not been material. | |||||||||||||||||
Inventories | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||||||||||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs are determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for approximately 47 and 44 percent of our inventories at September 30, 2013 and 2012. Costs for other inventories have been determined principally by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories consist of the following: | |||||||||||||||||
30-Sep | |||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||||||||
Finished products | $ | 66.3 | $ | 71.8 | |||||||||||||

Raw materials | 46.2 | 48.7 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 118.3 | $ | 126.9 | |||||||||||||
If the FIFO method of inventory accounting, which approximates current cost, had been used for all inventories, they would have been approximately $3.2 million and $3.1 million higher than reported at September 30, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment | |||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the assets using principally the straight-line method. Ranges of estimated useful lives are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
Useful Life | |||||||||||||||||
Land improvements | 6 - 15 years | ||||||||||||||||
Buildings and building equipment | 10 - 40 years | ||||||||||||||||
Machinery and equipment | 3 - 10 years | ||||||||||||||||
Equipment leased to others | 2 -10 years | ||||||||||||||||
When property, plant and equipment is retired from service or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related amount of depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds on sale are charged or credited to income. Total depreciation expense for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $71.2 million, $73.9 million and $74.3 million. The major components of property and the related accumulated depreciation were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

Intangible Assets | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||
Intangible assets are stated at cost and consist predominantly of goodwill, software, patents, trademarks, and acquired customer relationship assets. With the exception of goodwill and certain trademarks, our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods generally ranging from 3 to 20 years. | |||||||||||||||||
We assess the carrying value of goodwill and non-amortizable intangibles annually, during the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Goodwill is allocated among the reporting units based on the relative fair value of those units. | |||||||||||||||||
The majority of our goodwill and many of our intangible assets are not deductible for income tax purposes. A summary of intangible assets and the related accumulated amortization and impairment losses follows: | |||||||||||||||||

Amortization expense for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $45.6 million, $37.8 million and $29.6 million. Amortization expense for all intangibles is expected to approximate the following for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter: | |||||||||||||||||

Software consists mainly of capitalized costs associated with internal use software, including applicable costs associated with the implementation/upgrade of our Enterprise Resource Planning system. In addition, software includes capitalized development costs for software products to be sold. The net book value of computer software costs, included within intangible assets, was $28.7 million and $39.5 million at September 30, 2013 and 2012. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to ten years. Software amortization expense approximated $17.8 million, $20.7 million and $19.1 million for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, and is included in the total intangibles amortization presented earlier. | |||||||||||||||||
Guarantees | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Guarantees | |||||||||||||||||
We routinely grant limited warranties on our products with respect to defects in material and workmanship. The terms of these warranties are generally one year, however, certain components and products have substantially longer warranty periods. We recognize a reserve with respect to these obligations at the time of product sale, with subsequent warranty claims recorded directly against the reserve. The amount of the warranty reserve is determined based on historical trend experience for the covered products. For more significant warranty-related matters which might require a broad-based correction, separate reserves are established when such events are identified and the cost of correction can be reasonably estimated. During fiscal 2013, we have recognized charges of $12.2 million to cover the estimated costs associated with field corrective actions on five different product lines. We also recognized a charge of $16.0 million for a fiscal 2012 field corrective action on one of our med-surg product lines. These field corrective actions do not limit the manufacture, sale or ongoing use of these products. | |||||||||||||||||
A reconciliation of changes in our warranty reserve is as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

In the normal course of business we enter into various other guarantees and indemnities in our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, business partners and others. Examples of these arrangements would include guarantees of product performance, indemnifications to service providers and indemnifications of our actions to business partners. These guarantees and indemnifications have not historically nor do we expect them to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, although indemnifications associated with our actions generally have no dollar limitations. | |||||||||||||||||
In conjunction with our acquisition and divestiture activities, we have entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of our commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract. With respect to sale transactions, we also routinely enter into non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Retirement Plans | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Retirement Plans | |||||||||||||||||
We sponsor retirement and postretirement plans covering select employees. Expense recognized in relation to these defined benefit retirement plans and the postretirement health care plan in the U.S. is based upon actuarial valuations and inherent in those valuations are key assumptions including discount rates, and where applicable, expected returns on assets, projected future salary rates and projected health care cost trends. The discount rates used in the valuation of our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans are evaluated annually based on current market conditions. In setting these rates we utilize long-term bond indices and yield curves as a preliminary indication of interest rate movements, and then make adjustments to the respective indices to reflect differences in the terms of the bonds covered under the indices in comparison to the projected outflow of our obligations. Our overall expected long-term rate of return on pension assets is based on historical and expected future returns, which are inflation adjusted and weighted for the expected return for each component of the investment portfolio. Our rate of assumed compensation increase is also based on our specific historical trends of wage adjustments. | |||||||||||||||||
We account for our defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans by recognizing the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. We also recognize in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) certain gains and losses that arose during the period. See Note 6 for key assumptions and further discussion related to our pension and postretirement plans. | |||||||||||||||||
Environmental Liabilities | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Environmental Liabilities | |||||||||||||||||
Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to future revenue generation, are expensed. A reserve is established when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These reserves are determined without consideration of possible loss recoveries from third parties. | |||||||||||||||||
Specific costs included in environmental expense and reserves include site assessment, development of a remediation plan, clean-up costs, post-remediation expenditures, monitoring, fines, penalties and legal fees. Reserve amounts represent the expected undiscounted future cash outflows associated with such plans and actions. | |||||||||||||||||
Self Insurance | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Self Insurance | |||||||||||||||||
We are also involved in other possible claims, including product and general liability, workers' compensation, auto liability and employment related matters. Such claims in the United States have deductibles and self-insured retentions ranging from $25 thousand to $1.0 million per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the type of coverage and policy period. International deductibles and self-insured retentions are lower. We are also generally self-insured up to certain stop-loss limits for certain employee health benefits, including medical, drug and dental. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims and outside actuarial analysis, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Such estimated reserves are classified as Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-Term Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |||||||||||||||||

• | Evidence of an arrangement: An agreement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions to deliver products or services serves as evidence of an arrangement. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Delivery: For products, delivery is considered to occur upon receipt by the customer and the transfer of title and risk of loss. For rental services, delivery is considered to occur when the services are rendered. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Fixed or determinable price: The sales price is considered fixed or determinable if it is not subject to refund or adjustment. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Collection is deemed probable: At or prior to the time of a transaction, credit reviews of each customer are performed to determine the creditworthiness of the customer. Collection is deemed probable if the customer is expected to be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as those amounts become due. If collection is not probable, revenue is recognized when collection becomes probable, generally upon cash collection. | ||||||||||||||||
As a general interpretation of the above guidelines, revenue for health care and surgical products are generally recognized upon delivery of the products to the customer and their assumption of risk of loss and other risks and rewards of ownership. Local business customs and non-standard sales terms can sometimes result in deviations to this normal practice in certain instances; however, in no case is revenue recognized prior to the transfer of risk of loss and rewards of ownership. | |||||||||||||||||
For non-invasive therapy products and medical equipment management services, the majority of product offerings are rental products for which revenue is recognized consistent with the rendering of the service and use of products. For The Vest® product, revenue is generally recognized at the time of receipt of authorization for billing from the applicable paying entity as this serves as evidence of the arrangement and sets a fixed or determinable price. | |||||||||||||||||
For health care products and services aimed at improving operational efficiency and asset utilization, various revenue recognition techniques are used, depending on the offering. Arrangements to provide services, routinely under separately sold service and maintenance contracts, result in the deferral of revenue until specified services are performed. Service contract revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract period, if applicable, or as services are rendered. Product-related goods are generally recognized upon delivery to the customer. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue is presented in the Statements of Consolidated Income net of certain discounts and sales adjustments. For product sales, we record reserves resulting in a reduction of revenue for contractual discounts, as well as price concessions and product returns. Likewise, rental revenue reserves, reflecting contractual and other routine billing adjustments, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Reserves for revenue are estimated based upon historical rates for revenue adjustments. | |||||||||||||||||
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Units | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Units | |||||||||||||||||
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue producing transaction between us and our customers, including but not limited to sales taxes, use taxes, and value added taxes, are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenue and cost) basis. | |||||||||||||||||
Cost of Revenue | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Cost of Revenue | |||||||||||||||||
Cost of goods sold for capital sales consists primarily of purchased material costs, fixed manufacturing expense, variable direct labor, overhead costs and costs associated with the distribution and delivery of products to our customers. Rental expenses consist of costs associated directly with rental revenue, including depreciation, maintenance, logistics and service center facility and personnel costs. | |||||||||||||||||
Research and Development Costs | ' | ||||||||||||||||

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs were $70.2 million, $66.9 million and $63.8 million for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011. | |||||||||||||||||
In addition, certain software development technology costs are capitalized as intangibles and are amortized over a period of three to five years once the software is ready for its intended use. The amount capitalized during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $2.4 million, $2.3 million and $2.1 million. | |||||||||||||||||

Foreign Currency Translation | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Translation | |||||||||||||||||
The functional currency of foreign operations is generally the local currency in the country of domicile. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are primarily translated into U.S. dollars at year-end rates of exchange and the income statements are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Adjustments resulting from translation of the financial statements of foreign operations into U.S. dollars are excluded from the determination of net income, but included as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in our results of operations and are not material. | |||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||
We account for stock-based compensation under fair value provisions. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. In order to determine the fair value of stock options and other performance-based stock awards on the date of grant, we utilize a Binomial model. Inherent in this model are assumptions related to a volatility factor, expected life, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and expected forfeitures. The risk-free interest rate is based on factual data derived from public sources. The volatility factor, expected life, dividend yield and expected forfeiture assumptions require judgment utilizing historical information, peer data and future expectations. Deferred stock (also known as restricted stock units ("RSUs")) is measured based on the fair market price of our common stock on the date of grant, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, multiplied by the number of units granted. See Note 7 for further details. | |||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||
The Company and our eligible domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. income tax return. Foreign operations file income tax returns in a number of jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are computed using an asset and liability approach to reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. We have a variety of deferred tax assets in numerous tax jurisdictions. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessment as to recoverability and if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recognized. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that we would recover these deferred tax assets, future taxable income, the reversal of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies are considered. | |||||||||||||||||
We account for uncertain income tax positions using a threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The difference between the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for an uncertain income tax position and the tax benefit claimed in the tax return is referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit. See Note 9 for further details. | |||||||||||||||||
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity | |||||||||||||||||
We use derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in currency exchange and interest rates. Derivative financial instruments related to currency exchange rates include forward purchase and sale agreements which generally have terms no greater than 15 months. Additionally, interest rate swaps are used to convert some or all of our long term debt to either a fixed or variable rate. | |||||||||||||||||
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in the Statement of Consolidated Income or Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), depending on whether a derivative is designated and considered effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) are subsequently included in the Statement of Consolidated Income in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. These activities have not had a material effect on our financial position or results of operations for the periods presented herein. | |||||||||||||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | |||||||||||||||||
In December 2011, the FASB issued a standard increasing disclosure about offsetting assets and liabilities. For financial instruments and derivative instruments, the standard requires disclosure of the gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities, the amounts offset on the balance sheet, and the amounts subject to the offsetting requirements but not offset on the balance sheet. In January 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance which clarified that the 2011 amendment to the balance sheet offsetting standard does not cover transactions that are not considered part of the guidance for derivatives and hedge accounting. The standard is effective for fiscal 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. | |||||||||||||||||
In July 2012, the FASB issued an amendment to the authoritative guidance on the annual impairment test on indefinite-lived intangible assets. The amendment provides the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current quantitative test. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The amendment will be effective beginning October 1, 2013, however early adoption is permitted. We will consider applying this guidance in connection with future annual intangible impairment tests. We do not expect this to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements | |||||||||||||||||
In February 2013, an accounting standards update was issued that amends the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. However, the guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, either on the face of the financial statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal 2014 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |
