NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 27, 2007
(Unaudited)
1. | Description of Business |
Joy Global Inc. is the world's leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of coal and other minerals and ores. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands and other minerals. We operate in two business segments: underground mining machinery (Joy Mining Machinery or “Joy”) and surface mining equipment (P&H Mining Equipment or “P&H”). Joy is a major manufacturer of underground mining equipment for the extraction of coal and other bedded minerals and offers comprehensive service locations near major mining regions worldwide. P&H is a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction of ores and minerals and provides extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in surface mining.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are unaudited and have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation on a going concern basis of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for all periods presented have been made. All adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2006. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates.
3. | Borrowings and Credit Facilities |
On November 10, 2006, we amended our $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) to extend the facility through November 10, 2011 and also amend certain financial covenants, including the elimination of covenants that had the effect of restricting stock repurchases and limiting capital expenditures. Outstanding borrowings bear interest equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin (.5% to 1.25%) or the Base Rate (defined as the higher of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%) at our option. We pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.25% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants including leverage and interest coverage. On July 27, 2007, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in the Credit Agreement.
-6-
At July 27, 2007, there were $50.0 million outstanding direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement at a weighted average interest rate of 5.95%. Outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $400 million credit limit, totaled $118 million. At July 27, 2007, there was $232 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
In November 2006, we issued $250 million of 6% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150 million of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036 with interest on the notes being paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2007. The notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future significant domestic subsidiaries. Proceeds from these offerings were used for the repayment of outstanding revolver balances and additional share repurchases.
On May 24, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was paid on June 19, 2007 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2007.
Under our share repurchase program, management is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions until December 31, 2008. During the quarter ended July 27, 2007, we repurchased approximately $22.2 million of common stock, representing 440,000 shares. During the nine months ended July 27, 2007, we repurchased approximately $456.6 million of common stock, representing 10,154,160 shares. As of July 27, 2007, 16,300,912 of shares were held as treasury shares.
Comprehensive income consisted of the following:

5. | Stock Based Compensation |
We account for stock based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123(R), Share Based Payments (“SFAS 123(R)”). The total stock-based compensation expense we recognized for the quarter ended July 27, 2007 and July 29, 2006 was approximately $2.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The total stock based compensation expense we recognized for the nine months ended July 27, 2007 and July 29, 2006 was approximately $8.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
During the three months ended July 27, 2007, there were 81,497 deferred performance shares distributed.
Stock Options
A summary of stock option activity under all plans is as follows:
| | | | | Weighted-Average |
| | | Number of | | Exercise Price |
| | | Options | | per Share |
| | | | | |
Outstanding at October 28, 2006 | | | 2,549,476 | $ | 18.10 |
| | | | | |
Options granted | | | 644,500 | | 41.80 |
Options exercised | | | (770,420) | | 15.41 |
Options forfeited or cancelled | | | (242,143) | | 26.71 |
| | | | | |
Outstanding at July 27, 2007 | | | 2,181,413 | $ | 25.10 |
6. | Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share |
Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares during each period, plus dilutive potential shares considered outstanding during the period in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.”
Options outstanding used to compute earnings per share excluded 30,000 and 66,833 shares of common stock for the quarter and nine months ended July 27, 2007, respectively, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Options outstanding of 34,000 and 11,333 were excluded from the calculation of the weighted average diluted common stock used to compute earnings per share for the quarter and nine months ended July 29, 2006, respectively, for this same reason.

In December 2006, we acquired the assets of Donnelly Pty. Ltd., a small motor rebuild operation in Australia for a total cost of approximately $8.5 million. We are still in the process of finalizing third-party valuations of certain intangible assets; accordingly, allocation of the purchase price is subject to modification in the future.

We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the normal course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including asbestos-related and silicosis liability), employment and commercial matters. Also, as a normal part of their operations, our subsidiaries undertake contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and favorable or unfavorable resolutions may affect the results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe that the outcome of such legal and other matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
From time to time we and our subsidiaries become involved in proceedings relating to environmental matters. We believe that the resolution of such environmental matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On April 19, 2004, Joy South Africa declared a dividend to our wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom in the amount of approximately $46 million. As part of the transaction and in accordance with the South African Tax Act (“Act”), Joy South Africa was not required to pay tax on the transaction. In August 2004 the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”) stated that it disagreed with the Joy South Africa interpretation of the Act and would attempt to collect this tax. In September 2005, we received a notice of assessment from SARS, which as of July 2007 was approximately $8.0 million, including interest and penalties. We have not made payment or recorded a liability as it relates to the assessment, as management believes the exemption utilized during the dividend transaction was valid in accordance with the Act. We also believe further information will become available as a result of a similar case, which is pending trial. We will continue to defend our position on the matter.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006, Joy Mining completed the manufacturing of a powered roof support system for a customer in China. In accordance with company policy, revenue was recognized under the percentage of completion method. During the last half of Fiscal 2006, the customer experienced a series of explosions at their mine, which in turn shut down the mine and delayed the delivery of the system and corresponding payments. During August 2007, the customer obtained the necessary letter of credit to cover our open receivable balance. We expect to be able to collect on the open receivable balance upon final equipment delivery, which is expected in calendar 2007.

At July 27, 2007, we were contingently liable to banks, financial institutions and others for approximately $176 million for outstanding letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds securing performance of sales contracts and other guarantees in the ordinary course of business. Included in the amount were $40.0 million of outstanding letters of credit or other guarantees issued by non-U.S. banks for non-U.S. subsidiaries.
We have entered into various forward foreign exchange contracts with major international financial institutions for the purpose of hedging our risk of loss associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. These contracts involve off-balance-sheet market and credit risk. As of July 27, 2007, the nominal or face value of forward foreign exchange contracts to which we are a party, in absolute U.S. dollar equivalent terms, was approximately $302 million.
Forward exchange contracts are entered into to protect the value of committed future foreign currency receipts and disbursements and net investment hedges and consequently any market related loss on the forward contract would be offset by changes in the value of the hedged item. As a result, we are not exposed to net market risk associated with these instruments.
We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to our forward exchange contracts, but we do not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. A contract is generally subject to credit risk only when it has a positive fair value and the maximum exposure is the amount of the positive fair value.
We are currently negotiating retirement income matters in accordance with the memorandum of understanding within the 2004 contract agreement with the United Steelworkers of America (“Steelworkers”) at P&H Mining Equipment’s manufacturing facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While we have passed the contractual deadline of May 1, 2007, management is optimistic that this matter can be resolved without adverse impact on the business, but if not, we have plans to mitigate the significance of an unfavorable outcome.

We provide a warranty reserve for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties to remedy deficiencies of quality or performance in our products. These product warranties extend over either a specified period of time, units of production or machine hours depending upon the product subject to the warranty. We accrue a provision for estimated future warranty costs based upon the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. We periodically review the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties and adjust the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience as appropriate.

The main drivers of the variance in tax rates in relation to the U.S. statutory rate of 35% were the changes in the geographic mix of earnings, and differences in local statutory tax rates offset partially by state income taxes and certain Subpart F inclusions. Additionally, a discreet net tax benefit of $4.5 million was recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2007 to reflect prior years’ tax benefits not previously recognized offset partially by certain U.S. Subpart F inclusions.
A review of the realizability of deferred tax assets was performed as part of the analysis of the quarter ended July 29, 2006 income tax provision. Based on this analysis, valuation allowances of $179 million were reversed relating to pre-emergence and post-emergence deferred income tax assets ($68.0 million and $111 million, respectively) related to U.S. Federal net deferred income tax assets. The reversal of valuation allowances related to pre-emergence deferred income tax assets were recorded as additional paid in capital in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.” The reversal of valuation allowances related to the post-emergence deferred income tax assets were recorded as a discreet tax benefit of $111 million ($0.90 per diluted share) through our provision for income taxes. Included in the discreet tax benefit is $95.1 million related to the reversal of valuation allowances initially recorded as part of our minimum pension liability within accumulated other comprehensive income. If the related pension plan is terminated in the future, the remainder of the accumulated loss would be recorded in the income statement without a full tax benefit.
Additionally, the quarter ended April 29, 2006 was impacted by the reversal of approximately $6.3 million of discreet tax benefits that were recorded relating to certain valuation reserves applicable to our Australian consolidated tax group.
The following table reconciles the statutory rate to the effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended July 27, 2007.

In August 2007, we continued purchases under our share repurchase program. We repurchased approximately $25.9 million of common stock, representing 552,300 shares, under the programs from the end of the quarter through August 27, 2007.
On August 21, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 19, 2007 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on September 5, 2007.
15. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans on sponsoring employers’ balance sheets and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year the changes occur. SFAS 158 is effective for us at the end of Fiscal 2007. The effect on our financial statements is dependent upon the discount rate at our Fiscal 2007 measurement date (October 26, 2007) and actual returns on our pension plan assets during the year. We expect the statement to result in a reduction of our shareholders’ equity. It is unlikely that SFAS 158 will affect our loan covenant compliance.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and retirement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 will be effective for us beginning in Fiscal 2008. We are evaluating the interpretation to determine the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
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. SFAS 159 becomes effective for us beginning in Fiscal 2009. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a significant effect on our financial statements or related disclosures.
The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information as of and for the quarter and nine months ended July 27, 2007 and July 29, 2006 for; (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes issued in November 2006, which include Joy Technologies Inc. and P&H Mining Equipment Inc. (“Subsidiary Guarantors”); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are unconditionally, jointly, and severally liable under the guarantees, and we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those described in Item 5 - Other Information – Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Factors in Part II of this report.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this report. Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share data and as indicated.
Overview
Joy Global Inc., a worldwide leader in high-productivity mining solutions, manufactures and markets original equipment and provides aftermarket parts and services for both the underground and aboveground mining industries through two business segments, Underground Mining Machinery and Surface Mining Equipment. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Chile, Australia and China.
Operating results of the third quarter of Fiscal 2007 and nine month period then ended were indicative of the volatility associated with the commodity markets. Net sales for the quarter totaled $622 million, compared with $599 million in the third quarter of last year while net sales for the Fiscal 2007 nine months totaled $1.8 billion compared with $1.7 billion in the Fiscal 2006 nine months. The acquisition of Stamler in the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006 added $28.0 and $88.1 million in the Fiscal 2007 quarter and nine month periods while U.S. underground activity offset this increase by $28.7 and $59.1 million in the quarter and nine month periods, respectively. Operating income totaled $110 million in the third quarter, up slightly from the corresponding quarter last year, while operating income increased to $326 million in the Fiscal 2007 nine month period as compared to $311 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase in operating income for the quarter and nine month period was the result of increased sales offset by increased costs associated with the Stamler acquisition and costs associated with our continuing investment in China. Net income was $72.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share in the quarter compared with $189 million or $1.53 per diluted share in the third quarter of last year while net income was $210 million or $1.87 per diluted share in the nine month period compared with $332 million or $2.67 per diluted share in the prior year comparable period. Net income in the prior quarter and nine month period benefited from a reversal of certain deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $111 million or $0.90 a share and $117 million or $0.94 per diluted share, respectively. Reorganization income also benefited the prior quarter and nine month period by $1.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share and $7.0 million or $0.06 per diluted share, respectively.
The long-term outlook for the commodities mined by the company’s customers remains positive. Commodity demand is driven by continued high growth rates in the world economy in general, and from the strong demand in China, India and other developing countries as they continue to industrialize and modernize. Demand is strong and prices remain high in copper and iron ore, and the supply of these commodities is expected to remain in deficit for the next several years. As a result, producers continue to announce additional expansion projects and discuss future equipment needs with the company. World oil prices continue to support the economics of the Canadian oil sands, with several new projects receiving approval this year. Increasing demand for coal in the Chinese domestic market has resulted in lower exports and increased demand for seaborne coal from Australia and South Africa. Pressure on supply has further increased as the Beijing government continues to close small township mines for safety violations. As a result, demand is expected to exceed the supply of coal in international markets for the next several years.
Although the long-term outlook remains positive, U.S. coal continues to exhibit short-term softness. This is primarily the result of weakening demand for electricity, and compounded by the generator’s increased burn of
-25-
natural gas to enable them to build coal stockpiles. On a year-to-date basis, electricity demand continues to be higher than last year, but on a quarterly basis the gain over 2006 has been declining. For the six weeks starting July 1, 2007, electricity generation is actually behind the same period of 2006. Although the company feels confident that the new, mainly coal-fueled power generating capacity that is under construction or in the latter stages of approval will be completed as planned, it also acknowledges that the lack of a comprehensive national energy policy may delay approval of subsequent capacity requirements. The Company believes worldwide demand for all forms of energy is at unprecedented levels due to the additional demand from emerging markets as they continue to industrialize. As a consequence, it is not possible to meet future energy needs either globally or nationally, without the strong participation of coal. Therefore, future energy policies will inevitably include significant investment in clean coal technologies. The Company believes developing these clean coal technologies will ensure that coal remains the preferred fuel for base load power generation by providing an energy source that is reliable, secure, environmentally compliant, and a fraction of the cost of other energy sources.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended July 27, 2007 to Quarter Ended July 29, 2006.
Net Sales
The following table sets forth the combined net sales included in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income:
| | | Quarter Ended | | | | |
| | | July 27, | | July 29, | | $ | | % |
In thousands | | 2007 | | 2006 | | Change | | Change |
| | | | | | | | | |
Net Sales | | | | | | | | |
| Underground Mining Machinery | $ | 347,149 | $ | 352,213 | $ | (5,064) | | (1.4)% |
| Surface Mining Equipment | | 274,636 | | 246,497 | | 28,139 | | 11.4% |
| Total | $ | 621,785 | $ | 598,710 | $ | 23,075 | | 3.9% |
The decrease in net sales for Underground Mining Machinery in the third quarter was the result of an $8.1 million increase in original equipment sales and a $13.2 million decrease in the sale of aftermarket products and service. Decreased original equipment sales of 16% were reported in the United States offset by increased sales in Australia of over 46% and incremental sales related to the Stamler line of business, which was purchased in the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006. In the United States, the original equipment sales decrease was due to sales of continuous miners, shuttle cars and longwall shearers while Australia benefited from the sale of a roof support system. Aftermarket sales decreases were primarily due to continued softness in the United States underground coal market partially offset by continued demand for coal mining activity internationally.
The increase in net sales for Surface Mining Equipment in the third quarter was the result of an $11.5 million increase in original equipment sales and a $16.6 million increase in aftermarket products and service. Original equipment sales increased in Canada and China due to the continued growth in the oils sands and coal markets, respectively. Aftermarket sales increased in the United States by 12% and 17% in Australia. Aftermarket growth was partially offset by decreases in Canada, Brazil and Chile primarily due to timing.

Operating Income
The following table sets forth the operating income (loss) included in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income:
| | | Quarter Ended |
| | | July 27, 2007 | | July 29, 2006 |
| | | Operating | | % | | Operating | | % |
In thousands | | Income (loss) | | of Net Sales | | Income (loss) | | of Net Sales |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| Underground Mining Machinery | $ | 63,563 | | 18.3% | $ | 75,173 | | 21.3% |
| Surface Mining Equipment | | 53,671 | | 19.5% | | 42,165 | | 17.1% |
| Corporate Expense | | (6,968) | | | | (7,674) | | |
| Total | $ | 110,266 | | 17.7% | $ | 109,664 | | 18.3% |
Operating income as a percentage of net sales for Underground Mining Machinery decreased from 21.3% in the third quarter of 2006 to 18.3% in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by increased product development, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, a less favorable sales mix of original equipment and aftermarket sales, increased warranty costs, severance related costs and purchase accounting adjustments related to the Stamler acquisition offset by decreased overtime premiums and decreased performance-based incentive compensation.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales for Surface Mining Equipment increased from 17.1% in the third quarter of 2006 to 19.5% in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in operating income as a percentage of sales was driven by a more favorable sales mix of original equipment and aftermarket products and decreased product development, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales due to a decrease in performance-based incentive compensation and gain on sale of an asset.
Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense
Product development, selling and administrative expense totaled $88.9 million, or 14% of sales, in the third quarter of Fiscal 2007, as compared to $80.4 million, or 13% of sales, in the third quarter of Fiscal 2006. Increased product development, selling and administrative expense was attributable to general inflation, $2.8 million related to the Stamler acquisition, $3.3 million of severance related expense and $2.8 million of higher selling expenses related to increased business activity and the development of emerging markets partially offset by $3.3 million of decreased performance-based incentive compensation expense.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $8.1 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2007 as compared to $1.2 million for Fiscal 2006. The $6.9 million increase was principally due to the November 2006 issuance of $250.0 million of 6% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036. The proceeds from the notes were primarily used to finance our common stock repurchase program and repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement.
Reorganization Items
Reorganization items include income and expenses that were realized or incurred as a result of our reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Reorganization related items moved to $0.1 million of expense during the third quarter of Fiscal 2007 from $1.9 million of income during the third quarter of Fiscal 2006. The third quarter of Fiscal 2006 included a $1.9 million recovery from a fully reserved note receivable.

Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of Fiscal 2007 increased to an expense of $30.3 million as compared to a benefit of $76.6 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2006. On a consolidated basis, these income tax provisions represented effective income tax rates for the third quarters of Fiscal 2007 and 2006 of 29.4% and (68.5)%, respectively. On a recurring basis, the main drivers of the variance in tax rates in relation to the U.S. statutory rate of 35% were the changes in the geographic mix of earnings and differences in local statutory tax rates offset partially by state income taxes and certain Subpart F inclusions. Additionally, a discreet net tax benefit of $4.5 million was recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2007 to reflect prior years’ tax benefits not previously recognized offset partially by certain U.S. Subpart F inclusions. In the third quarter of Fiscal 2006, a discreet tax benefit of $111 million was recorded relating to the reversal of certain valuation allowances applicable to our U.S. deferred income tax assets.
Cash taxes paid for the third quarter of Fiscal 2007 were $18.8 million, or 18.2% of pre-tax income, compared to $8.7 million, or 7.7% of pre-tax income, in the third quarter of Fiscal 2006. This increase in cash taxes paid was primarily due to increased international profitability year over year, timing requirements of local tax payments, and U.S. State tax payments.
Nine Months Ended July 27, 2007 to Nine Months Ended July 29, 2006.

Net Sales | | | | | | | | |
| Underground Mining Machinery | $ | 1,037,449 | $ | 1,028,796 | $ | 8,653 | | 0.8% |
| Surface Mining Equipment | | 773,964 | | 683,603 | | 90,361 | | 13.2% |
| Total | $ | 1,811,413 | $ | 1,712,399 | $ | 99,014 | | 5.8% |
The increase in net sales for Underground Mining Machinery in the Fiscal 2007 nine months compared with the Fiscal 2006 nine months was the result of a $40.3 million increase in aftermarket products and service partially offset by decreased original equipment sales of $31.7 million. Decreased original equipment sales were reported in most all markets offset by incremental sales of $46.3 million related to the Stamler line of business, which was purchased in the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006. Aftermarket sales increases were reported across all underground markets with the exception of the United States, due to the continued strength of coal mining activity internationally. Incremental sales by the Stamler line of business also added to the aftermarket growth.
The increase in net sales of Surface Mining Equipment for the Fiscal 2007 nine months compared to the Fiscal 2006 nine months was the result of a $29.0 million increase in original equipment and a $61.4 million increase in aftermarket products and service. Increases in original equipment sales in the United States, China, Canada and Chile were primarily from sales of electric mining shovels and continues to reflect the ongoing growth of activity levels for both the replacement of existing equipment and the addition of new mining capacity for copper, coal, and oil sands. Aftermarket sales growth was particularly strong out of the United States due to the continued strength in copper and surface mined coal. Aftermarket sales also increased by over 50% in the emerging markets served out of the United Kingdom due to continued strength of surface mined coal. Aftermarket growth was partially offset by decreases in Canada, Australia and Brazil primarily due to timing.

| Underground Mining Machinery | $ | 203,374 | | 19.6% | $ | 216,907 | | 21.1% |
| Surface Mining Equipment | | 144,184 | | 18.6% | | 116,023 | | 17.0% |

| Total | $ | 325,825 | | 18.0% | $ | 310,562 | | 18.1% |
Operating income as a percentage of net sales for Underground Mining Machinery decreased from 21.1% in the Fiscal 2006 nine months to 19.6% in the Fiscal 2007 nine months. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by increased product development selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales and amortization of Stamler purchase accounting adjustments partially offset by a more favorable sales mix of original equipment and aftermarket sales, more stable material costs, decreased overtime premiums and decreased performance-based incentive compensation.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales for Surface Mining Equipment increased from 17.0% in the Fiscal 2006 nine months to 18.6% in the Fiscal 2007 nine months. The increase in operating income as a percentage of sales is primarily driven by a more favorable sales mix of original equipment and aftermarket products and decreased product development selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales offset by decreased manufacturing absorption associated with increased spending due to bringing capacity online and increased warranty expense.
Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense
Product development, selling and administrative expense totaled $259.8 million, or 14% of sales, in the Fiscal 2007 nine months, as compared to $234.8 million, or 14% of sales, in the Fiscal 2006 nine months. While a consistent percentage of total sales, the 11% increase in product development, selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to general inflation, $8.7 million related to the Stamler acquisition, $10.7 million of higher selling expenses related to increased business activity and the development of emerging markets and $3.3 million of severance related expense offset by $4.6 million of decreased incentive compensation expense.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $24.4 million in the Fiscal 2007 nine months as compared to $2.3 million for the Fiscal 2006 nine months. The $22.1 million increase was principally due to the November 2006 issuance of $250.0 million of 6% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036 and increased borrowings on our Credit Agreement, all of which were primarily used to finance our common stock repurchase program and repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement.
Reorganization Items
Reorganization related items moved to $0.4 million of expense during the Fiscal 2007 nine months from $6.8 million of income during the Fiscal 2006 nine months. The Fiscal 2006 results were positively affected by reorganization income related to a recovery from a fully reserved note receivable of $7.0 million.
-29-
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the Fiscal 2007 nine months increased to an expense of $95.9 million as compared to a benefit of $9.3 million for the Fiscal 2006 nine months. On a consolidated basis, these income tax provisions represented effective income tax rates for the Fiscal 2007 nine months and Fiscal 2006 nine months of 31.3% and (2.9)%, respectively. On a recurring basis, the main drivers of the variance in tax rates between periods and in relation to the U.S. statutory rate of 35% were the changes in the geographic mix of earnings and differences in local statutory tax rates, offset partially by state income taxes and certain Subpart F inclusions. Additionally, a discreet net tax benefit of $4.5 million was recorded in the nine month period of Fiscal 2007 to reflect the recognition of certain tax benefits not previously recognized offset partially by certain U.S. Subpart F inclusions. For the nine month period of Fiscal 2006, a discreet tax benefit of $117 million was recorded relating to the reversal of certain valuation allowances applicable to our U.S. and Australian deferred income tax assets.
Cash taxes paid for the Fiscal 2007 nine months were $47.5 million, or 15.5% of pre-tax income, compared to $28.0 million, or 8.7% of pre-tax income, paid for the Fiscal 2006 nine months. This increase in cash taxes paid was primarily due to increased international profitability year over year, timing requirements of local tax payments, and U.S. State tax payments.
Bookings and Backlog
The bookings for original equipment and aftermarket products and services continued to exhibit volatility primarily as it relates to timing of original equipment orders. During the Fiscal 2007 third quarter and nine months, we received $628 million and $1.9 billion, respectively, of new orders compared to new order bookings of $606 million and $1.8 billion for the Fiscal 2006 third quarter and nine months, respectively. Aftermarket products and services orders continued to trend upward for the Fiscal 2007 third quarter and nine month periods by 15% and 8%, respectively as compared to the prior year comparable periods. The measured growth of aftermarket parts and services is indicative of the demands being placed on the ever increasing installed base of original equipment. Original equipment orders were down 13% for the quarter primarily due to the timing of surface mining related orders offset by two roof support system orders in the U.S. Original equipment orders were up 12% for the nine month period over the prior year comparable periods mainly due to the timing of orders from all markets served by the surface mining business and international markets served by our underground mining business offset by the effects of the downturn in the United States coal market on our underground mining business.
Due to the continued strength of the surface mining business and despite the softness in the U.S underground coal market, backlog increased from $1.3 billion at the end of Fiscal 2006 to $1.4 billion at the end of the Fiscal 2007 third quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes the major components of our working capital as of July 27, 2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively:
| | July 27, | | October 28, |
In millions | | 2007 | | 2006 |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 118.6 | $ | 101.3 |
Accounts receivable | | 466.4 | | 431.4 |

| | | | |
Working Capital | $ | 764.2 | $ | 627.9 |
| | | | |
We currently use working capital and cash flow production as two financial measurements to evaluate the performance of our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. We continue to require working capital investment to maintain our position as the world’s leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment. The primary drivers of these requirements are funding for purchases of production and replacement parts inventories. Our position as a market leader in providing timely service and repair requires us to maintain a certain level of replacement parts. As part of our continuous improvement of purchasing and manufacturing processes, we continue to strive for alignment of inventory levels with customer demand and current production schedules.
We expect that capital spending will be between 3.0% to 3.5% of sales in Fiscal 2007. We also expect capital spending could reach between 3.5% to 4.0% of sales in Fiscal 2008 primarily due to a number of programs to increase our manufacturing capacity and in order to continue the expansion of our aftermarket service capabilities.
Expansion efforts of both the surface and underground mining operations continued during the third quarter of Fiscal 2007. Efforts commenced on a $50 million expansion in proprietary component machining capabilities for P&H Mining at our Tianjin, China campus, with start-up being projected in spring 2008, with full production targeted for 2009. We also continue to expand outsourcing arrangements for certain non-proprietary P&H components, such as large fabrications, in areas of the world in which the products are ultimately destined. The underground mining operation continued the previously announced expansion efforts in lower cost environments, with the 70,000 square feet combined service center and manufacturing facility in Poland currently on target for completion in late Fiscal 2007. We are also in the process of consolidating six smaller existing facilities in Australia into one combined underground and surface mining service center and manufacturing facility.
During the Fiscal 2007 nine months, cash provided by operating activities was $210.3 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $146.0 million during the Fiscal 2006 nine months. The increase in cash generated by operating activities primarily related to increased advance payments and progress billings offset by increased working capital requirements associated with higher business activity levels.
-31-
During the Fiscal 2007 nine months cash used by investing activities was $52.1 million compared to cash used by investing activities of $23.0 million during the Fiscal 2006 nine months. The increase was primarily due to the $8.5 million acquisition of a repair and rebuild facility in Australia during the first quarter of Fiscal 2007 and other expansion efforts in China and Poland. The acquisition provided incremental service capacity to existing electric motor repair and rebuild facilities and created an original equipment repair shop network in Eastern Australia. The increase was also impacted by proceeds of $4.9 million from the sale of facilities in the United States and Australia during the Fiscal 2006 nine months.
During the Fiscal 2007 nine months cash used by financing activities was $146.5 million compared to cash used by financing activities of $165.5 million in the Fiscal 2006 nine months. The primary drivers of the change were the increased purchase of common stock of $222 million, net repayments of long-term obligations associated with our credit agreement and decreased excess income tax benefits from the exercise of stock options offset by the issuance of senior notes of $395 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2007.
In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million of 6% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036 with interest on the notes being paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2007. The notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future significant domestic subsidiaries. Proceeds from these offerings were used for the repayment of outstanding revolver balances and additional share repurchases.
Under our share repurchase program, management is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions until December 31, 2008. During the three months ended July 27, 2007, we repurchased approximately $22.2 million of common stock, representing 440,000 shares. During the nine months ended July 27, 2007, we have repurchased approximately $456.6 million of common stock, representing 10,154,160 shares. As of July 27, 2007, 16,300,912 of shares were held as treasury shares. We will continue to evaluate the repurchase of shares of common stock as market conditions dictate.
On May 24, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was paid on June 19, 2007 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2007.
Financial Condition
As of the end of the Fiscal 2007 third quarter, we had $119 million in cash and cash equivalents and $232 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Our primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and share repurchases. We will also continue to evaluate potential acquisitions. Target acquisitions would include “bolt-on” businesses which would be mining related product line additions or service extensions or “third leg” businesses that would provide a strong branded, highly engineered product with the platform for our life-cycle management strategy and provide a solid base for growth potential. Based upon our current level of operations, we believe that cash flows from operations, together with available borrowings under the Credit Agreement, will be adequate to meet our anticipated future cash requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We lease various assets under operating leases. No significant changes to lease commitments have occurred since our fiscal year ended October 28, 2006. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements, other than noted in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
-32-
Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an ongoing basis, our estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, excess inventory, warranty, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We believe our accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories, intangible assets, accrued warranties, pension and postretirement benefits and costs, and income taxes are the ones that most frequently require us to make estimates and judgments, and therefore are critical to the understanding of our results of operations. See Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 28, 2006 for a discussion of these policies. There were no material changes to these policies during the third quarter of Fiscal 2007.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 28, 2006, we are exposed to various types of market risks, primarily foreign currency risks. We monitor our risks in this area on a continuous basis and generally enter into forward foreign currency contracts to minimize these exposures for periods of less than one year. We do not engage in speculation in our derivative strategies. Gains and losses from foreign currency contract activities are offset by changes in the underlying costs of the transactions being hedged.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective (1) in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
No change.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 28, 2006 we included a risk factor relating to the demand of our products being adversely impacted by regulations affecting the mining industry or electric utilities. Based on the evolving regulatory environment we have expanded on the regulatory risk with the following:
Demand for our products may be adversely impacted by regulations related to mine safety.
Our principal customers are surface and underground mining companies. The industry has encountered increased scrutiny as it relates to safety regulations primarily due to recent high profile mine accidents. Current or proposed legislation on safety standards and the increased cost of compliance may induce customers to discontinue or limit their mining operations, and may discourage companies from developing new mines.
Demand for our products may be adversely impacted by environmental regulations impacting the mining industry or electric utilities.
Many of our customers supply coal as a power generating source for the production of electricity in the United States and other countries. The operations of these mining companies are geographically diverse and are subject to or impacted by a wide array of regulations in the jurisdictions where they operate, including those directly impacting mining activities and those indirectly affecting their businesses, such as applicable environmental laws. The high cost of compliance with environmental regulations may also cause customers to discontinue or limit their mining operations, and may discourage companies from developing new mines. Additionally, government regulation of electric utilities may adversely impact the demand for coal to the extent that such regulations cause electric utilities to select alternative energy sources and technologies as a source of electric power. As a result of these factors, demand for our mining equipment could be substantially affected by environmental regulations adversely impacting the mining industry or altering the consumption patterns of electric utilities.

Our principal businesses involve designing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing large, complex machines. Significant periods of time are necessary to design and build these machines. Large amounts of capital must be devoted by our customers to purchase these machines and to finance the mines that use them. Our success in obtaining and managing a relatively small number of sales opportunities, including our success in securing payment for such sales and meeting the requirements of warranties and guarantees associated with such sales, can affect our financial performance. In addition, many mines are located in undeveloped or developing economies where business conditions are less predictable. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:
Factors affecting our customers’ purchases of new equipment, rebuilds, parts and services such as: production capacity, stockpile levels and production and consumption rates of coal, copper, iron ore, gold, oil sands and other ores and minerals; the cash flows and capital expenditures of our customers; the cost and availability of financing to our customers and their ability to obtain regulatory approval for investments in mining projects; consolidations among customers; changes in environmental regulations; work stoppages at customers or providers of transportation; and the timing, severity and duration of customer buying cycles, particularly for original equipment.
Factors affecting our ability to capture available sales opportunities, including: our customers’ perceptions of the quality and value of our products and services as compared to our competitors’ products and services; our ability to commit to delivery schedules requested or required by our customers; whether we have successful reference installations to display to customers; customers’ perceptions of our financial health and stability as compared to our competitors; our ability to assist customers with competitive financing programs; the availability of steel, castings, forgings, bearings and other materials; and the availability of manufacturing capacity at our factories.
Factors affecting general business levels, such as: political and economic turmoil in major markets such as the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Russia and South Africa; environmental and trade regulations; commodity prices; and the stability and ease of exchange of currencies.
Factors affecting our ability to successfully manage and complete sales we obtain, such as: the successful transition to a new enterprise software system at our surface mining equipment business; the timely negotiation of collective bargaining agreements and pension issues with our unionized workers; the accuracy of our cost and time estimates for major projects and long-term maintenance and repair contracts; the adequacy of our systems to manage major projects and our success in completing projects on time and within budget; our success in recruiting, hiring and retaining managers and skilled employees in the areas where we operate; wage stability and cooperative labor relations; plant capacity and utilization; and whether acquisitions are assimilated and divestitures completed without notable surprises or unexpected difficulties.
Factors affecting our general business or financial position, such as: unforeseen patent, tax, product (including asbestos-related and silicosis liability), environmental, employee health and benefits, or contractual liabilities; changes in pension and post-retirement benefit costs; nonrecurring restructuring and other special charges; changes in accounting or tax rules or regulations; reassessments of asset valuations for such assets as receivables, inventories, fixed assets, intangible assets and deferred tax assets; adverse tax rulings; collectibility of accounts receivable; and leverage and debt service.
