Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements
We prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can be condensed or omitted.
We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of those for a full year.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a 13-week basis ending on a Saturday.
2. New Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109(“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file a tax return in a particular jurisdiction. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and we adopted it on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 increased total liabilities by $2.9 million and decreased total shareholders’ equity by $2.9 million. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on our consolidated results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2007, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-11,Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share Based Payment Awards(“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF 06-11 on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
3. Stock-based Compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense was $4.4 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively and was $17.0 million and $18.1 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
Non-vested shares of our common stock were granted during the first nine months of 2007 and 2006 to eligible employees with a vesting period of two to five years after issuance. Non-vested share awards are valued at market value on the date of grant and are typically expensed over the vesting period. Total compensation expense for non-vested share awards was $2.0 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively and was $7.4 million and $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
During the first nine months of 2007, option awards were granted under the Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the Outside Directors Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (together the “Plans”), each with an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Prior to 2006, option grants under the Plans typically had a reload feature when shares were retired to pay the exercise price, allowing individuals to receive additional options upon exercise equal to the number of shares retired. Option awards granted after 2005 under the Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and option awards granted after 2006 under the Outside Directors Nonqualified Stock Option Plan do not have a reload feature attached to the option. The options vest one-third each year over a three-year period and have a ten-year contractual term. Compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value is recognized for these awards typically over the vesting period. Reload options are vested and expensed immediately. Total

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
compensation expense for stock option awards was $2.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively and was $9.6 million and $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
We estimated the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, modified for dividends and using the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | September 29 | | September 30 |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
|
Expected stock price volatility | | | 28.5 | % | | | 31.5 | % |
Expected life | | 4.8 yrs. | | 4.5 yrs. |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.46 | % | | | 4.86 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 1.66 | % | | | 1.89 | % |
The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the first nine months of 2007 and 2006 was $8.38 and $10.91 per share, respectively.
These estimates require us to make assumptions based on historical results, observance of trends in our stock price, changes in option exercise behavior, future expectations and other relevant factors. If other assumptions had been used, stock-based compensation expense, as calculated and recorded under SFAS No. 123R, could have been affected.
We based the expected life assumption on historical experience as well as the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. For purposes of determining expected volatility, we considered a rolling-average of historical volatility measured over a period approximately equal to the expected option term. The risk-free rate for periods that coincide with the expected life of the options is based on the United States (“U.S.”) Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

6. Discontinued Operations
Effective after the close of business on October 2, 2004, we completed the sale of our former Tools Group to The Black & Decker Corporation (“BDK”). In January 2006, pursuant to the purchase agreement for the sale of our former Tools Group, we completed the repurchase of a manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China from BDK for approximately $5.7 million. We recorded no gain or loss on the repurchase. In March 2006, we completed an outstanding net asset value arbitration with BDK relating to the purchase price for the sale of our former Tools Group. The decision by the arbitrator constituted a final resolution of all disputes between BDK and us regarding the net asset value. We paid the final net asset value purchase price adjustment pursuant to the purchase agreement of $16.1 million plus interest of $1.1 million in March 2006, resulting in an incremental pre-tax loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $3.4 million or $1.6 million net of tax. In the third quarter of 2006, we resolved a prior year tax item that resulted in a $1.4 million income tax benefit related to our former Tools Group.
In 2001, we completed the sale of our former Service Equipment businesses (Century Mfg. Co., Lincoln Automotive Company) to Clore Automotive, LLC. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we reported an additional loss from discontinued operations of $2.9 million related to exiting the remaining two facilities. In March 2006, we exited a leased facility from our former Service Equipment business resulting in a net cash outflow of $2.2 million and an immaterial gain from disposition.
Operating results of the discontinued operations for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 and 2006 are summarized below:

In June 2007, we entered into an amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility creates an unsecured, committed revolving credit facility of up to $800 million, with multi-currency sub-facilities to support investments outside the U.S. The Credit Agreement expires June 4, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.50%. Interest rates and fees under the Credit Facility vary based on our credit ratings.
We are authorized to sell short-term commercial paper notes to the extent availability exists under the Credit Facility. We use the Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support 100% of commercial paper outstanding. As of September 29, 2007, we had $179.8 million of commercial paper outstanding that matures within 56 days. All of the commercial paper was classified as long-term as we have the intent and the ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis under the Credit Facility.
In addition to the Credit Facility, we have $40 million of uncommitted credit facilities, under which we had $4.8 million outstanding as of September 29, 2007.
In May 2007, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with various institutional investors (the “Agreement”) for the sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.87% Senior Notes (“Fixed Notes”) and $105 million aggregate principal amount of our Floating Rate Senior Notes (“Floating Notes” and with the Fixed Notes, the “Notes”). The Fixed Notes are due in May 2017. The Floating Notes are due in May 2012 and bear interest equal to the 3 month LIBOR plus 0.50%. The Agreement contains customary events of default.
We used $250 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to retire the $250 million 364-day Term Loan Agreement that we entered into in April 2007, which we used in part to pay the cash purchase price of our Porous Media acquisition which closed in April 2007.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 29, 2007.

11. Derivatives and Financial Instruments
Cash-flow hedges
In September 2005, we entered into a $100 million interest rate swap agreement with several major financial institutions to exchange variable rate interest payment obligations for fixed rate obligations without the exchange of the underlying principle amounts in order to manage interest rate exposures. The effective date of the swap was April 25, 2006. The swap agreement has a fixed interest rate of 4.68% and expires in July 2013. The fixed interest rate of 4.68% plus the .60% interest rate spread over LIBOR results in an

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
effective fixed interest rate of 5.28%. The fair value of the swap was an asset of $0.8 million at September 29, 2007 and is recorded inOther assets.
In August 2007, we entered into a $105 million interest rate swap agreement with a major financial institution to exchange variable rate interest payment obligations for a fixed rate obligation without the exchange of the underlying principle amounts in order to manage interest rate exposures. The effective date of the swap was August 30, 2007. The swap agreement has a fixed interest rate of 4.89% and expires in May 2012. The fixed interest rate of 4.89% plus the .50% interest rate spread over LIBOR results in an effective fixed interest rate of 5.39%. The fair value of the swap was a liability of $0.6 million at September 29, 2007 and is recorded inOther non-current liabilities.
The variable to fixed interest rate swaps are designated as and are effective as cash-flow hedges. The fair value of these swaps are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in their fair value included inAccumulated other comprehensive income(“OCI”). Derivative gains and losses included in OCI are reclassified into earnings at the time the related interest expense is recognized or the settlement of the related commitment occurs.
In anticipation of issuing new debt in the second quarter of 2007 and to partially hedge the risk of future increases to the treasury rate, we entered into an agreement on March 30, 2007 to lock in existing ten-year rates on $200 million. The treasury rate was fixed at 4.64% and the agreement was settled on May 3, 2007.
The treasury rate lock agreement was designated as and was effective as a cash-flow hedge. The treasury rate lock agreement was settled at an interest rate of 4.67% and the corresponding settlement benefit of $0.5 million is included in OCI in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and is recognized in earnings over the life of the related debt.
12. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 was 30.4% compared to 30.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 includes a $12.5 million favorable adjustment related to the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to account for changes in German tax law enacted on August 17, 2007. The tax rate for the first nine months of 2006 included favorable adjustments related to the resolution of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examinations for the periods of 2002-2003 and favorable adjustments related to prior years’ tax returns. We expect the full year effective income tax rate to be between 31.5% and 32.0% However, we continue to actively pursue initiatives to reduce our effective tax rate. The tax rate in any quarter can be affected positively or negatively by adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recorded an adjustment that decreased retained earnings by $2.9 million.
Subsequent to the adjustment to retained earnings of $2.9 million, our total liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007, the date of adoption of FIN 48, was $15.0 million, which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. Included in the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $15.0 million at the date of adoption of FIN 48 was $1.8 million related to discontinued operations, which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate for discontinued operations.
We record penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits inProvision for income taxes andNet interest expense, respectively, which is consistent with our past practices. As of January 1, 2007, we had recorded approximately $0.3 million for the possible payment of penalties and $1.5 million related to the possible payment of interest.
We or one of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2002. The IRS has audited us through 2003 and has completed a tax return survey of our 2004 federal income tax return.
During the first nine months of 2007, our total liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased to approximately $18.0 million. It is reasonably possible that the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by $1.7 million during the next twelve months as a result of audits and the expiration of statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions.
The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.

16. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental and Litigation
Except as provided below, there have been no further material developments from the disclosures contained in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Horizon Litigation
Twenty-eight separate lawsuits involving 29 primary plaintiffs, a class action and claims for indemnity by Celebrity Cruise Lines, Inc. (“Celebrity”) were brought against Essef Corporation (“Essef”) and certain of its subsidiaries prior to our acquisition of Essef in August 1999. The claims against Essef and its involved subsidiaries were based upon the allegation that Essef designed, manufactured and marketed two sand swimming pool filters that were installed as a part of the spa system on the Horizon cruise ship and allegations that the spa and filters contained Legionnaire’s disease bacteria that infected certain passengers on cruises from April 1994 through July 1994.
The individual and class claims by passengers were tried and resulted in an adverse jury verdict finding liability on the part of the Essef defendants (70%) and Celebrity and its sister company, Fantasia (together 30%). After expiration of post-trial appeals, we paid all outstanding punitive damage awards of $7.0 million in the Horizon cases, plus interest of approximately $1.6 million, in January 2004. All of the personal injury cases have now been resolved through either settlement or judgment.
The only remaining unresolved claims in this case were those brought by Celebrity for damages resulting from the outbreak. Celebrity filed an amended complaint seeking attorney fees and costs for prior litigation as well as out-of-pocket losses, lost profits and loss of business enterprise value. The first trial in 2006 resulted in a verdict against the Essef defendants for Celebrity’s out-of-pocket expenses of $10.4 million. Verdicts for lost profits ($47.6 million) and lost enterprise value ($135 million) were reversed in January 2007. In the retrial in June 2007, the jury awarded Celebrity damages for lost profits for 1994 and 1995 of $15.2 million (after netting for amounts taken into account by the earlier verdict for out-of-pocket expenses). The verdict was exclusive of pre-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees.
Several issues remain to be decided by the Court, including whether Celebrity is entitled to recovery of its attorneys’ fees and related costs in the passenger claims phase of the case ($4.1 million) and, with respect to pre-judgment interest, the length of the interest period and the rate of interest on any eventual judgment. The Court has also been asked to rule that Celebrity’s claims should be reduced to reflect an earlier verdict that it was contributorily negligent.
We believe that the jury verdict is in significant respects inconsistent with the law and the evidence offered at trial. We have filed post-trial motions challenging this verdict regarding the amount of lost profits. These post-trial motions will be heard in the fourth quarter of 2007. We have not determined what course of action we would follow in the event of an adverse decision.
We have assessed the impact of the latest verdict on our previously established reserves for this matter and, based on information available at this time, have not changed our reserves, except to take into account quarterly interest accruals.
We believe that any judgment we pay in this matter would be tax-deductible in the year paid or in subsequent years. In addition to the impact of any loss on this matter on our earnings per share when recognized, we may need to borrow funds from our banks or other sources to pay any judgment finally determined after exhaustion of all appeals, plus interest.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains statements that we believe to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or similar words. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results. They can be affected by assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, we cannot guarantee any forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Investors should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.
The following factors and those discussed in ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K may impact the achievement of forward-looking statements:
• | | changes in general economic and industry conditions, such as: |
| • | | the strength of product demand and the markets we serve; |
|
| • | | the intensity of competition, including that from foreign competitors; |
|
| • | | pricing pressures; |
|
| • | | market acceptance of new product introductions and enhancements; |
|
| • | | the introduction of new products and enhancements by competitors; |
|
| • | | our ability to maintain and expand relationships with large customers; |
|
| • | | our ability to source raw material commodities from our suppliers without interruption and at reasonable prices; |
|
| • | | our ability to source components from third parties, in particular from foreign manufacturers, without interruption and at reasonable prices; and |
|
| • | | the financial condition of our customers; |
• | | our ability to successfully limit any judgment arising out of the Horizon litigation; |
• | | our ability to identify, complete and integrate acquisitions successfully and to realize expected synergies on our anticipated timetable; |
• | | changes in our business strategies, including acquisition, divestiture and restructuring activities; |
• | | domestic and foreign governmental and regulatory policies; |
• | | general economic and political conditions, such as political instability, the rate of economic growth in our principal geographic or product markets or fluctuations in exchange rates; |
• | | changes in operating factors, such as continued improvement in manufacturing activities and the achievement of related efficiencies, cost reductions and inventory risks due to shifts in market demand and costs associated with moving production overseas; |
• | | our ability to generate savings from our excellence in operations initiatives consisting of lean enterprise, supply management and cash flow practices; |
• | | unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation, intellectual property matters, product liability exposures and environmental matters; |
• | | our ability to accurately evaluate the effects of contingent liabilities such as tax, product liability, environmental and other claims; and |
• | | our ability to access capital markets and obtain anticipated financing under favorable terms. |
The foregoing factors are not exhaustive and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that would impact our business. We assume no obligation and disclaim any duty, to update the forward-looking statements in this report.
Overview
We are a focused diversified industrial manufacturing company comprised of two operating segments: Water and Technical Products. Our Water Group is a global leader in providing innovative products and systems used worldwide in the movement, storage, treatment and enjoyment of water. Our Technical Products Group is a leader in the global enclosures and thermal management markets, designing and manufacturing standard, modified and custom enclosures that house and protect sensitive electronics and electrical components; thermal management products; and accessories. In 2007, we expect our Water Group and Technical Products Group to generate approximately 70% and 30% of total revenues, respectively.
Our Water Group has progressively become a more important part of our business portfolio with sales increasing from approximately $125 million in 1995 to approximately $2.2 billion in 2006. We believe the water industry is structurally attractive as a result of a growing demand for clean water and the large global market size (of which we have identified a target market totaling $60 billion). Our vision is to be a leading global provider of innovative products and systems used in the movement, storage, treatment and enjoyment of water.
Our Technical Products Group operates in a large global market with significant potential for growth in industry segments such as defense, security, medical and networking. We believe we have the largest enclosures industrial and commercial distribution network in North America and the highest enclosures brand recognition in the industry in North America. From mid-2001 through 2003, the Technical Products Group experienced significantly lower sales volumes as a result of severely reduced capital spending in the industrial and commercial markets and over-capacity and weak demand in the datacommunication and telecommunication markets. From 2004 through the first half of 2006, sales volumes increased due to the addition of new distributors, new products and higher demand in targeted markets.
22
Key Trends and Uncertainties
The following trends and uncertainties affected our financial performance in the first nine months of 2007 and will likely impact our results in the future:
• | | The housing market and new pool starts shrank in the last three quarters of 2006 and continued to slow in the first nine months of 2007. We believe that construction of new homes and new pools starts in North America affects approximately 25% of the sales of our Water Group, especially for our pool and spa businesses. This downturn will likely have an adverse impact on our revenues for the remainder of 2007 and into 2008. |
• | | The telecommunication equipment market, particularly in North America, has slowed over the past five quarters and impacted our North American electronics sales within our Technical Products Group. In the first nine months of 2007, North American electronics sales declined approximately 20% from the year earlier period. The revenue decrease was attributable to telecommunication industry consolidation (which has delayed enclosure product sales) and some datacommunication OEM programs reaching end-of-life. We anticipate this weakness to continue, although we expect fourth quarter North America electronic sales to be relatively flat year-over-year. |
• | | We experience seasonal demand in a number of markets within our Water Group. End-user demand for pool equipment follows warm weather trends and is at seasonal highs from April to August. The magnitude of the sales spike is partially mitigated by employing some advance sales “early buy” programs (generally including extended payment terms and/or additional discounts). Demand for residential and agricultural water systems is also impacted by economic conditions and weather patterns, particularly by heavy flooding and droughts. |
• | | We expect our operations to continue to benefit from our PIMS initiatives, which include strategy deployment; lean enterprise with special focus on sourcing and supply management, cash flow management and lean operations; and IGNITE, our process to drive organic growth. |
• | | We are experiencing material cost and other inflation in a number of our businesses. We are striving for greater productivity improvements and implementing selective increases in selling prices to help mitigate cost increases we have experienced in base materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel and copper and other costs such as health care and other employee benefit costs. |
• | | If sales of products into residential end-markets in our Water business or the electronics portion of our Technical Products business continue to slow appreciably, we may consider reducing our investment for organic growth into those segments and further restructure our operations by closing or downsizing facilities, reducing headcount or taking other market-related actions as we have in the third quarter of 2006 and 2007. |
• | | We have a long-term goal to consistently generate free cash flow that equals or exceeds 100% conversion of our net income. We define free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment. Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2007 was approximately $189 million and we are targeting full year free cash flow of $230 million to $250 million. See our discussion ofOther financial measuresunder the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this report. |
• | | We experienced favorable foreign currency effects on net sales in the first nine months of 2007. Our currency effect is primarily for the U.S. dollar against the euro, which may or may not trend favorably in the future. |
• | | The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 was 30.4%. The tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 includes a favorable adjustment related to the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to account for changes in German tax law enacted on August 17, 2007. We estimate our effective income tax rate for the full year to be between 31.5% and 32.0%. We continue to actively pursue initiatives to reduce our effective tax rate. The tax rate in any quarter can be affected positively or negatively by adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution. |
Outlook
In 2007, our operating objective is to increase our return on invested capital by:
• | | Continuing to drive operating excellence through lean enterprise initiatives, with special focus on sourcing and supply management, cash flow management and lean operations; |
• | | Continuing the integration of acquisitions and realizing identified synergistic opportunities; |
• | | Continuing proactive talent development, particularly in international management and other key functional areas; |
• | | Achieving organic sales growth (in excess of market growth rates), particularly in international markets; and |
• | | Continuing to make strategic acquisitions to grow and expand our existing platforms in our Water and Technical Products Groups. |
23
The ability to achieve our operating objectives will depend, to a certain extent, on factors outside our control. See “Forward-Looking Statements” in this report and “Risk Factors” under ITEM 1A in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

|
Consolidated net sales
The 7.7 percent and 6.5 percent increases in consolidated net sales in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2007 from 2006 were primarily driven by:
• | | an increase in sales volume due to our February 2, 2007 acquisition of Jung Pumpen GmbH (“Jung Pump”) and our April 30, 2007 acquisition of Porous Media Corporation and Porous Media, Ltd. (together “Porous Media”); and |
|
• | | organic sales growth of approximately 1 percent for the third quarter and 2 percent for the first nine months of 2007 (excluding acquisitions and foreign currency exchange), which included selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases: |
| • | | growth in the Europe and Asia-Pacific markets; |
|
| • | | higher second quarter sales of municipal pumps related to a large flood control project; |
|
| • | | higher Technical Product sales into electrical markets; and |
|
| • | | growth in commercial and industrial water markets. |
These increases were partially offset by:
| • | | lower Technical Products sales into North American electronics markets driven by contraction and consolidation in the telecommunication equipment industry which have delayed buying activity and by datacommunication projects reaching end-of-life; and |
|
| • | | lower sales of certain pump, pool and filtration products related to the downturn in the North American residential housing market and softness in residential pool construction markets. |
• | | favorable foreign currency effects. |

|
Water
The 5.7 percent and 7.8 percent increases in Water Group net sales in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2007 from 2006 were primarily driven by:
• | | an increase in sales volume driven by our February 2, 2007 acquisition of Jung Pump and our April 30, 2007 acquisition of Porous Media; |
|
• | | organic sales were down approximately 2 percent for the third quarter but up 2 percent for the first nine months of 2007 (excluding acquisitions and foreign currency exchange), which included selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases: |
| • | | higher second quarter sales of municipal pumps related to a large flood control project; |
|
| • | | continued growth in China and in other markets in Asia-Pacific as well as continued success in penetrating markets in Europe and the Middle East; and |
|
| • | | growth in commercial and industrial water markets. |
These increases were partially offset by:
| • | | a decline in sales of certain pump, pool and filtration products into North American residential markets and softness in residential pool construction markets. |
• | | favorable foreign currency effects. |
Technical Products
The 11.9 percent and 3.8 percent increases in Technical Product Group net sales in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2007 from 2006 were primarily driven by:
• | | organic sales were up approximately 9 percent for the third quarter and up 1 percent for the first nine months of 2007 (excluding acquisitions and foreign currency exchange), which included selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases: |
| • | | increased sales into electrical markets; and |
|
| • | | strong sales performance in Asia. |
These increases were partially offset by:
| • | | lower year-to-date sales into North American electronics markets driven by contraction and consolidation in the telecommunication equipment industry which have delayed buying activity and by datacommunication projects reaching end-of-life. |
• | | favorable foreign currency effects. |

|
Percentage point change | | | | | | 2.1 | pts | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 0.9 | pts | | | | | | | | |
The 2.1 percentage point and 0.9 percentage point increases in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2007 from 2006 were primarily the result of:
• | | selective increases in selling prices in our Water and Technical Products Groups to mitigate inflationary cost increases; |
|
• | | savings generated from our PIMS initiatives including lean and supply management practices; and |
|
• | | a decrease in costs related to capacity rationalization and market-related actions in third quarter of 2007 compared to third quarter 2006. |
These increases were partially offset by:
• | | inflationary increases related to raw materials and labor; and |
|
• | | higher cost as a result of a fair market value inventory step-up related to the Jung Pump and Porous Media acquisitions. |

|
Percentage point change | | | | | | (0.9 | )pts | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 0.1 | pts | | | | | | | | |
The 0.9 percentage point decrease and 0.1 percentage point increase in SG&A expense as a percentage of sales in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2007 from 2006 were primarily due to:
• | | a decrease in costs related to capacity rationalization and market-related actions in third quarter 2007 compared to third quarter 2006; |
• | | proportionately higher SG&A expenses in the acquired Jung Pump and Porous Media businesses caused in part by amortization expense related to the intangible assets from those acquisitions; |
• | | higher selling and general expense to fund investments in future growth with emphasis on growth in the international markets, including personnel and business infrastructure investments; and |
• | | exit costs incurred in first half of 2007 related to a previously announced 2001 French facility closure. |

The 2.8 and 0.9 percentage point increases in Water Group operating income as a percentage of sales in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2007 from 2006 were primarily the result of:
• | | selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases; |
• | | savings generated from our PIMS initiatives including lean and supply management practices; |
• | | income generated by our February 2, 2007 acquisition of Jung Pump and our April 30, 2007 acquisition of Porous Media; and |
• | | a decrease in costs related to capacity rationalization and market-related actions in third quarter 2007 compared to third quarter 2006. |
These increases were partially offset by:
• | | inflationary increases related to raw materials and labor; |
• | | a decline in sales of certain pump, pool and filtration products into North American residential markets; |
• | | amortization expense related to the intangible assets from the Jung Pump and Porous Media acquisitions; and |
• | | higher cost as a result of a fair market value inventory step-up related to the Jung Pump and Porous Media acquisitions. |

The 1.8 percentage point increase in Technical Products Group operating income as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 2007 from 2006 was primarily the result of:
• | | increased sales in our electrical markets; |
• | | selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases; and |
• | | savings realized from the continued success of PIMS, including lean and supply management activities. |
These increases were partially offset by:
• | | inflationary increases related to raw materials such as stainless steel and labor costs; and |
• | | lower sales into North American electronics markets driven by contraction and consolidation in the telecommunication equipment industry which have delayed buying activity and by datacommunication projects reaching end-of-life. |
The 0.6 percentage point decrease in Technical Products Group operating income as a percentage of sales in the first nine months of 2007 from 2006 was primarily the result of:

27
• | | lower sales into North American electronics markets driven by contraction and consolidation in the telecommunication equipment industry which have delayed buying activity and by datacommunication projects reaching end-of-life; and |
• | | exit costs incurred in the first half of 2007 related to a previously announced 2001 French facility closure. |
These decreases were partially offset by:
• | | selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases; |
• | | savings realized from the continued success of PIMS, including lean and supply management activities; and |
• | | increased sales in our electrical markets. |

• | | a favorable adjustment in the third quarter of 2007 related to the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to account for changes in German tax law enacted on August 17, 2007. |
This decrease was partially offset by:
• | | a favorable adjustment in the third quarter of 2006 related to prior years’ tax returns. |
The 0.1 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 from 2006 was primarily the result of:
• | | a favorable settlement in the second quarter of 2006 of a routine IRS examination for periods 2002-2003; and |
• | | favorable adjustments in the first and third quarter of 2006 related to prior years’ tax returns. |
28
These increases were partially offset by:
• | | a favorable adjustment in the third quarter of 2007 related to the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to account for changes in German tax law enacted on August 17, 2007. |
We expect the full year effective income tax rate to be between 31.5% and 32.0%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, equity investments, acquisitions, debt repayments, share repurchases and dividend payments are generally funded from cash generated from operations, availability under existing committed revolving credit facilities and in certain instances, public and private debt and equity offerings.
We experience seasonal cash flows primarily due to seasonal demand in a number of markets within our Water Group. End-user demand for pool equipment follows warm weather trends and is at seasonal highs from April to August. The magnitude of the sales spike is partially mitigated by employing some advance sales “early buy” programs (generally including extended payment terms and/or additional discounts). Demand for residential and agricultural water systems is also impacted by weather patterns, particularly by heavy flooding and droughts.
The following table presents selected working capital measurements calculated from our monthly operating results based on a 13-month moving average:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | September 29 | | December 31 | | September 30 |

Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $229.3 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with cash provided by operating activities of $125.9 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to lower cash used for working capital in the first nine months of 2007 versus the same period of last year and higher net income. In the future, we expect our working capital ratios to improve as we continue to capitalize on our PIMS initiatives.
Investing activities
Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2007 were $45.2 million compared with $33.3 million in the prior year period. We currently anticipate capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 will be approximately $70 to $80 million, primarily for capacity expansions in our low cost country manufacturing facilities, implementation of a unified business systems infrastructure in Europe, new product development and general maintenance capital.
On May 7, 2007, we acquired as part of our Technical Products Group the assets of Calmark Corporation (“Calmark”), a privately held business, for $28.4 million, including a cash payment of $29.3 million and transaction costs of $0.1 million, less cash acquired of $1.0 million. Calmark’s product portfolio includes enclosures, guides, card locks, retainers, extractors, card pullers and other products for the aerospace, medical, telecommunications and military market segments, among others. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation was $11.6 million, all of which is tax deductible. We continue to evaluate the purchase price allocation for the Calmark acquisition, including intangible assets, contingent liabilities and property, plant and equipment. We expect to revise the purchase price allocation as better information becomes available.
On April 30, 2007, we acquired as part of our Water Group all of the capital interests in Porous Media, two privately held filtration and separation technologies businesses, for $224.9 million, including a cash payment of $225.0 million and transaction costs of $0.4 million, less cash acquired of $0.5 million. Porous Media’s product portfolio includes high-performance filter media, membranes and related filtration products and purification systems for liquids, gases and solids for general industrial, petrochemical, refining and healthcare market segments among others. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation was $124.4 million, all of which is tax deductible. We continue to evaluate the purchase price allocation for the Porous Media acquisition, including intangible assets, contingent liabilities and property, plant and equipment. We expect to revise the purchase price allocation as better information becomes available.
On February 2, 2007, we acquired as part of our Water Group all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Jung Pump for $229.5 million, including a cash payment of $239.6 million and transaction costs of $1.3 million, less cash acquired of $11.4 million. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing net asset value adjustment. Jung Pump is a leading German manufacturer of wastewater products for municipal and residential markets. Jung Pump brings us its strong application engineering expertise and a complementary product offering, including a new line of water re-use products, submersible wastewater and drainage pumps, wastewater disposal units and tanks. Jung Pump also brings to Pentair its well-established European presence, a state-of-the-art training facility in Germany and sales offices in Germany, Austria, France, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation was $131.3 million, of which approximately $53 million is tax deductible. We continue to evaluate the purchase price allocation for the Jung Pump acquisition,
29
including intangible assets, contingent liabilities and property, plant and equipment. We expect to revise the purchase price allocation as better information becomes available.
Divestiture activities during 2006 relate to the following: In January 2006, pursuant to the purchase agreement for the sale of our former Tools Group, we completed the repurchase of a manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China from The Black and Decker Corporation (“BDK”) for approximately $5.7 million. We recorded no gain or loss on the repurchase. In March 2006, we completed an outstanding net asset value arbitration with BDK relating to the purchase price for the sale of our former Tools Group. The decision by the arbitrator constituted a final resolution of all disputes between BDK and us regarding the net asset value. We paid the final net asset value purchase price adjustment pursuant to the purchase agreement of $16.1 million plus interest of $1.1 million in March 2006, resulting in an incremental pre-tax loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $3.4 million or $1.6 million net of tax. Also in March 2006, we exited a leased facility from our former Service Equipment business resulting in a net cash outflow of $2.2 million and an immaterial gain from disposition.
During 2007 and 2006, we made investments in and advances to certain joint ventures in the amount of $4.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $300.2 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with $44.4 million used for financing activities in the prior year period. The increase primarily relates to the additional borrowings to fund the Jung Pump and Porous Media acquisitions. Financing activities included draw downs and repayments on our revolving credit facilities to fund our operations in the normal course of business, payments of dividends, repurchase shares of our common stock, cash received from stock option exercises and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.
In June 2007, we entered into an amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility creates an unsecured, committed revolving credit facility of up to $800 million, with multi-currency sub-facilities to support investment outside the U.S. The Credit Agreement expires June 4, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.50%. Interest rates and fees under the Credit Facility vary based on our credit ratings.
We are authorized to sell short-term commercial paper notes to the extent availability exists under the Credit Facility. We use the Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support 100% of commercial paper outstanding. As of September 29, 2007, we had $179.8 million of commercial paper outstanding that matures within 56 days. All of the commercial paper was classified as long-term as we have the intent and the ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis under the Credit Facility.
In addition to the Credit Facility, we have $40 million of uncommitted credit facilities, under which we had $4.8 million outstanding as of September 29, 2007.
In May 2007, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with various institutional investors (the “Agreement”) for the sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.87% Senior Notes (“Fixed Notes”) and $105 million aggregate principal amount of our Floating Rate Senior Notes (“Floating Notes” and with the Fixed Notes, the “Notes”). The Fixed Notes are due in May 2017. The Floating Notes are due in May 2012 and bear interest equal to the 3 month LIBOR plus 0.50%. The Agreement contains customary events of default.
We used $250 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to retire the $250 million 364-day Term Loan Agreement that we entered into in April 2007, which we used in part to pay the cash purchase price of our Porous Media acquisition which closed in April 2007.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 29, 2007.
Our current credit ratings are as follows:
| | | | |
Rating Agency | | Long-Term Debt Rating | | Current Rating Outlook |
Standard & Poor’s | | BBB | | Negative |
Moody’s | | Baa3 | | Stable |
On March 7, 2007, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services revised its current rating outlook on us from stable to negative. At the same time, Standard & Poor’s affirmed its long-term debt rating of ‘BBB’. Standard & Poor’s stated that the outlook revision reflects the additional leverage and stress on credit metrics that would result from the acquisition of Porous Media. The negative outlook indicates the rating could be lowered if financial policies become more aggressive or if operating results are weaker than expected.
As of September 29, 2007, our capital structure consisted of $1,112.9 million in total indebtedness and $1,828.2 million in shareholders’ equity. The ratio of debt-to-total capital at September 29, 2007 was 37.8 percent, compared with 30.8 percent at December 31, 2006 and 32.6 percent at September 30, 2006. Our targeted debt-to-total capital ratio is approximately 40 percent. We will exceed this target ratio from time to time as needed for operational purposes and/or acquisitions.
30
In August 2007, we entered into a $105 million interest rate swap agreement with a major financial institution to exchange variable rate interest payment obligations for a fixed rate obligation without the exchange of the underlying principle amounts in order to manage interest rate exposures. The effective date of the swap was August 30, 2007. The swap agreement has a fixed interest rate of 4.89% and expires in May 2012. The fixed interest rate of 4.89% plus the .50% interest rate spread over LIBOR results in an effective fixed interest rate of 5.39%. The fair value of the swap was a liability of $0.6 million at September 29, 2007 and is recorded inOther non-current liabilities.
The variable to fixed interest rate swap is designated as and is effective as a cash-flow hedge. The fair value of this swap is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in its fair value included inAccumulated other comprehensive income(“OCI”). Derivative gains and losses included inOCIare reclassified into earnings at the time the related interest expense is recognized or the settlement of the related commitment occurs.
We expect to continue to have cash requirements to support working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest and service debt, to pay dividends to shareholders and to repurchase shares of our common stock. In order to meet these cash requirements, we intend to use available cash and internally generated funds and to borrow under our committed and uncommitted credit facilities.
Dividends paid in the first nine months of 2007 were $45.0 million, or $0.45 per common share, compared with $42.6 million, or $0.42 per common share, in the prior year period. We have increased dividends every year for the last 31 years and expect to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis.
During 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock up to a maximum dollar limit of $100 million. As of December 31, 2006, we had purchased 1,986,026 shares for $59.4 million pursuant to this authorization during 2006. In December 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the continuation of the repurchase program in 2007 with a maximum dollar limit of $40.6 million. This authorization expires on December 31, 2007. As of September 29, 2007, we had repurchased an additional 816,482 shares for $27.1 million pursuant to this plan and, accordingly, we have the authority to repurchase additional shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $13.5 million for the remainder of 2007.
The total liability for uncertain tax positions under FIN 48 at September 29, 2007 was approximately $18 million (refer to Note 12). The Company was not able to reasonably estimate the timing of future payments relating to non-current unrecognized tax benefits, however, at this time, the Company does not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next twelve months.
There have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations, other than noted above, or off-balance sheet arrangements described in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Other financial measures
In addition to measuring our cash flow generation or usage based upon operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure our free cash flow and our conversion of net income. We have a long-term goal to consistently generate free cash flow that equals or exceeds 100% conversion of net income. Free cash flow and conversion of net income are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to assess our cash flow performance. We believe free cash flow and conversion of net income are important measures of operating performance because they provide us and our investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to pay dividends and repay debt. In addition, free cash flow and conversion of net income are used as criteria to measure and pay certain incentive bonuses. Our measure of free cash flow and conversion of net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow and a calculation of the conversion of net income with cash flows from continuing and discontinued operating activities:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Pentair, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Pentair, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
Environmental and Litigation
Except as provided below, there have been no further material developments from the disclosures contained in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Horizon Litigation
Twenty-eight separate lawsuits involving 29 primary plaintiffs, a class action and claims for indemnity by Celebrity Cruise Lines, Inc. (“Celebrity”) were brought against Essef Corporation (“Essef”) and certain of its subsidiaries prior to our acquisition of Essef in August 1999. The claims against Essef and its involved subsidiaries were based upon the allegation that Essef designed, manufactured and marketed two sand swimming pool filters that were installed as a part of the spa system on the Horizon cruise ship and allegations that the spa and filters contained Legionnaire’s disease bacteria that infected certain passengers on cruises from April 1994 through July 1994.
The individual and class claims by passengers were tried and resulted in an adverse jury verdict finding liability on the part of the Essef defendants (70%) and Celebrity and its sister company, Fantasia (together 30%). After expiration of post-trial appeals, we paid all outstanding punitive damage awards of $7.0 million in the Horizon cases, plus interest of approximately $1.6 million, in January 2004. All of the personal injury cases have now been resolved through either settlement or judgment.
The only remaining unresolved claims in this case were those brought by Celebrity for damages resulting from the outbreak. Celebrity filed an amended complaint seeking attorney fees and costs for prior litigation as well as out-of-pocket losses, lost profits and loss of business enterprise value. The first trial in 2006 resulted in a verdict against the Essef defendants for Celebrity’s out-of-pocket expenses of $10.4 million. Verdicts for lost profits ($47.6 million) and lost enterprise value ($135 million) were reversed in January 2007. In the retrial in June 2007, the jury awarded Celebrity damages for lost profits for 1994 and 1995 of $15.2 million (after netting for amounts taken into account by the earlier verdict for out-of-pocket expenses). The verdict was exclusive of pre-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees.
Several issues remain to be decided by the Court, including whether Celebrity is entitled to recovery of its attorneys’ fees and related costs in the passenger claims phase of the case ($4.1 million) and, with respect to pre-judgment interest, the length of the interest period and the rate of interest on any eventual judgment. The Court has also been asked to rule that Celebrity’s claims should be reduced to reflect an earlier verdict that it was contributorily negligent.
We believe that the jury verdict is in significant respects inconsistent with the law and the evidence offered at trial. We have filed post-trial motions challenging this verdict regarding the amount of lost profits. These post-trial motions will be heard in the fourth quarter of 2007. We have not determined what course of action we would follow in the event of an adverse decision.
We have assessed the impact of the latest verdict on our previously established reserves for this matter and, based on information available at this time, have not changed our reserves, except to take into account quarterly interest accruals.
We believe that any judgment we pay in this matter would be tax-deductible in the year paid or in subsequent years. In addition to the impact of any loss on this matter on our earnings per share when recognized, we may need to borrow funds from our banks or other sources to pay any judgment finally determined after exhaustion of all appeals, plus interest.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in ITEM 1A. of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
