	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of General Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries (“General Cable” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results of operations for the six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2013 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts are derived from the audited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in General Cable’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2014. The Company’s fiscal quarters consist of 13-week periods ending on the Friday nearest to the end of the calendar months of March, June and September.
	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of General Cable Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Investments in 50% or less owned joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances among the consolidated companies have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards	'
	Accounting Standards
	The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the six months ended June 27, 2014, there have been no significant changes to these policies. In the six months ended June 27, 2014, the following accounting pronouncements have been issued with respect to the Company:
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity", which raises the threshold for determining which disposals are required to be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is applied prospectively and is effective in 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This guidance outlines a single, comprehensive model for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The Company will adopt the standard on January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, that the standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." This standard provides more explicit guidance for treating share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

	Other Income (Expense)
	Other income (expense) includes foreign currency transaction gains or losses, which result from changes in exchange rates between the designated functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated as well as gains and losses on derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges. During the three months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, the Company recorded other income of $3.6 million and other expense of $15.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, the Company recorded other expense of $94.1 million and $68.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 27, 2014, other income was attributable to $3.9 million related to gains on derivative instruments that were not designated as cash flow hedges and other expense of $0.3 million related to foreign currency transactions. For the three months ended June 28, 2013, other expense was primarily attributable to $10.3 million related to losses on derivative instruments that were not designated as cash flow hedges and other expense of $3.6 million related to foreign currency transactions which included $11.7 million in foreign exchange gains related to copper imports in Venezuela that were approved at the 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate prior to currency devaluation on February 13, 2013 and settled in the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 27, 2014, other expense was attributable to $83.1 million related to a Venezuela currency devaluation, $10.7 million related to losses on derivative instruments that were not designated as cash flow hedges and other expense of $0.3 million related to foreign currency transaction losses. For the six months ended June 28, 2013, other expense was primarily attributable to $40.9 million related to a Venezuela currency devaluation, $20.4 million related to losses on derivative instruments that were not designated as cash flow hedges and other expense of $5.3 million related to foreign currency transaction losses which included $11.7 million in foreign exchange gains related to copper imports in Venezuela that were approved at the 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate prior to currency devaluation on February 13, 2013 and settled in the first half of 2013.

Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Approximately 85% of the Company’s inventories are valued using the average cost method and all remaining inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, the Venezuelan entity recorded $0.8 million and $8.8 million of lower of cost or market charges, respectively, that were recognized within the cost of sales caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). These charges are due to translation of local sales results at the SICAD 1 rate, 10.6 BsF per U.S. Dollar, and sales price caps under the new price controls law while the Company's cost for the copper component of its inventory is based on copper purchases at the official rate of 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar. Therefore, management reduced Venezuela's inventory value to expected sales price (market value), which was lower than the recorded cost basis at March 28, 2014 and June 27, 2014. Refer to Note 21 - Venezuelan Operations for the recent developments at the Venezuelan entity.
	At June 27, 2014, all inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.

	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs assigned to property, plant and equipment related to acquisitions are based on estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings, from 15 to 50 years, and machinery, equipment and office furnishings, from 2 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the asset, unless acquired in a business combination, in which case the leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or a term that includes the reasonably assured life of the lease.
	Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following (in millions):
		June 27, 2014			December 31, 2013
	Land	$	112.4		$	120.8
	Buildings and leasehold improvements	367.6			372.6
	Machinery, equipment and office furnishings	1,275.50			1,290.60
	Construction in progress	52.6			46.3
	Total gross book value	1,808.10			1,830.30
	Less accumulated depreciation	(778.6		)	(738.3		)
	Total net book value	$	1,029.50		$	1,092.00
	Depreciation expense for the three and six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 was $28.9 million and $57.9 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three and six fiscal months ended June 28, 2013 was $29.7 million and $59.3 million, respectively.
	The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with determinable lives) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates events or changes in circumstances based mostly on actual historical operating results, but business plans, forecasts, general and industry trends, and anticipated cash flows are also considered. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from asset groups are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of asset groups exceeds its fair value and are recognized in earnings. The Company also continually evaluates the estimated useful lives of all long-lived assets and, when warranted, revises such estimates based on current events.
	In the three months ended June 27, 2014, the Company’s executive management evaluated global operations to allow the Company to expand productivity and asset optimization. In the early stages of the evaluation process, the Company reviewed the financial performance of its General Cable India asset group ("India") and its PDIC Peru asset group ("Peru"). Due to the ongoing weak economic conditions at both asset groups and the weak economic outlook, the Company decided to no longer focus on the possible growth opportunities in its India and Peru businesses; therefore, the Company would no longer provide cash flow or operational support to these businesses. This decision was deemed a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is currently being used; therefore, the Company performed an asset impairment review for its India and Peru asset groups in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”.
	The India and Peru results are reported within the ROW reportable segment. The India operations and assets include land, building and machinery and equipment which manufacture products including power cables, building wire, and specialty cables housed in a purpose-built manufacturing facility. The assets represent the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows can be determined independent of other groups of assets and liabilities. The Peru operations and assets include machinery and equipment which manufacture products including power cables and building wire, all housed in one manufacturing building.
	The Company developed internal forward business plans under the guidance of local and regional leadership to determine the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from the India and Peru long-lived assets. Such were based on management's best estimates considering the likelihood of various outcomes. Based on the internal projections, the Company determined that the undiscounted expected future cash flows were less than the carrying value of the assets and as a result engaged a third party valuation firm to assist in determining the fair value of the India and Peru long-lived assets.  To determine the fair value, a current appraisal of the India and Peru machinery and equipment and real property assets was performed utilizing standard valuation approaches.  Based on the results of the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $16.5 million for its India business and $6.9 million for its Peru business in the three and six months ended June 27, 2014.  The impairment charge was recorded in the cost of sales caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	In late July, the Company announced the closure of the India and Peru facilities in connection with the restructuring program announced on July 9, 2014.

Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. If the carrying amount of goodwill or an intangible asset with an indefinite life exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in the amount equal to the excess. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined that for goodwill and certain intangible assets related to the 2007 acquisition of Phelps Dodge International Corporation, the carrying value exceeded the fair value and an impairment charge was recorded which is described below.
	The amounts of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were as follows (millions of dollars):
		Goodwill												Indefinite-Lived Assets – Trade Names
		North			Europe and			ROW			Total			North			Europe and		ROW			Total
		America			Mediterranean									America			Mediterranean
	Balance, December 31, 2013	$	17.6		$	2		$	165		$	184.6		$	2.4		$	0.5	$	127.9		$	130.8

	Balance, June 27, 2014	$	17.3		$	2		$	8		$	27.3		$	0.3		$	0.5	$	—		$	0.8
	(1) $32.2 million of the currency translation and other adjustment related to the indefinite-lived assets in the ROW operating segment includes a reclassification of the PDIC tradename to a definite-lived asset with an estimated remaining life of 10 years.
	(2) The difference in the goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment in the above table and the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is due to the difference in the average foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended March 28, 2014 as compared to the spot rates at March 28, 2014 at the various entities within the reporting unit.
	At June 27, 2014, the total accumulated goodwill impairment loss was $156.6 million, $154.5 million was recorded within the ROW segment prior to foreign currency translation adjustments. At June 27, 2014, the total accumulated indefinite-lived asset tradename impairment loss was $93.1 million in the ROW segment, prior to foreign currency translation adjustments and $2.1 million was recorded within the North America segment.
	The amounts of other intangible assets were as follows (millions of dollars):
		June 27, 2014			December 31, 2013
	Amortized intangible assets:
	Amortized intangible assets	$	171.7		$	139.5
	Accumulated amortization	(92.5		)	(85.8		)
	Foreign currency translation adjustment	(1.2		)	(1.6		)
	Amortized intangible assets, net	$	78		$	52.1
	Amortized intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization as of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Other intangible assets have been determined to have a useful life in the range of 7 to 12 years. The approximate weighted average useful life of the amortized intangible assets is 10 years. For customer relationships, the Company has accelerated the amortization expense to align with the historical customer attrition rates. The amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 was $6.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense during the twelve month periods beginning June 27, 2014 through June 28, 2019 and thereafter, based on exchange rates as of June 27, 2014, is $14.5 million, $13.6 million, $12.0 million, $8.8 million, $6.9 million and $22.2 million thereafter.
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. The Company completes its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year. In addition, the Company evaluates the carrying amount between such annual valuations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances may include, but are not limited to, a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate, adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, possible sale or disposal of a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit, significant changes in financial projections or significant changes in the market capitalization. At October 31, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of the goodwill at our PDIC reporting unit and the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their corresponding carrying amount including recorded goodwill; however, in the first quarter of 2014 the following events changed which reduced the fair value of the PDIC reporting unit:
	•	Except certain cost of sales related to copper inventory, all of the bolivar ("BsF") denominated revenues and expenses for future periods reflected remeasurement using the SICAD 1 rate versus the prior official rate of 6.3 BsF per U.S. dollar. Due to the changes in the currency exchange system and the rate used to remeasure the financial statements of the Venezuelan entity, the Company's estimated future operating results were determined to be lower than historical and previously projected future profit levels. Refer to Note 21 - Venezuelan Operations for additional information.
	•	In the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan President used decree power to pass the Law of Costs, Earnings, and Fair Profits, which became effective in January 2014, authorizing, among other things, the Venezuelan government to set maximum pricing limits in the private sector. Therefore, the majority of the Company’s product portfolio in Venezuela is subject to price controls, which may restrict the Company’s ability to increase prices more than 30% higher than product costs. Until this law is removed or revised to allow for a higher level of pricing, the Venezuelan operating profit margin is expected to be lower than historical and previously projected future profit levels. In addition, ongoing labor negotiations and expected continuing social unrest in Venezuela are expected to result in lower than historical and previously projected future profit levels. Refer to Note 21 - Venezuelan Operations for additional detail.
	•	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company experienced a significant decline in its stock price, resulting in the Company’s market capitalization falling below its book value.
	Based upon the combination of the above factors, the Company concluded that goodwill impairment indicators existed as of March 28, 2014. As a result, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis as of March 28, 2014. The Company engaged an outside valuation firm to assist in valuing the Company’s reporting unit and preparing the goodwill impairment analysis. To determine the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company employed an income and market-based approach with each being weighted equally. Under the income approach, the Company used a discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method, such as forecasted operating results, expected growth rates, working capital needs, tax rates, and cost of capital, were based on the current market conditions and were consistent with internal management projections. The cost of capital rate selected was based on consideration of the risks inherent in the investment and market rates of return available from alternative investments of similar type and quality as of the valuation date. The guideline public company method was used for the market approach. The approach provided an estimate of value using multiples of earnings derived from the market values of publicly traded companies in the wire and cable industry. In addition to the selection of guideline companies, the market approach included an analysis of the Company’s financial and operating performance risk, profitability, and growth as compared to the reporting unit.
	The Company performed the first step (“Step 1”) of the goodwill impairment assessment at March 28, 2014. In Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting unit, the entities purchased in the October 31, 2007 PDIC acquisition, to its carrying amount, including goodwill of $154.5 million. Based on the results of the valuation, the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value. Based on the results of Step 1 of the impairment analysis and the preliminary results of Step 2, the Company believed that an impairment loss was probable and based on a preliminary estimate, after consultation with a third party valuation specialist, the Company recognized an impairment charge equal to the total recorded PDIC goodwill of $155.1 million in the ROW operating segment. The impairment charge was recorded in the goodwill impairment charge caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	In the second quarter of 2014, the Company completed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test ("Step 2") to determine if any adjustment to the goodwill impairment charge was required. The Step 2 analysis required the Company to perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for the reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill and to compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the recorded amount of goodwill. Based on the analysis, no modification of the initial impairment estimate was required in the second quarter of 2014.
	Based on the decrease of our cash flow projections for the PDIC reporting unit, the Company also completed an impairment test for the tradename. The fair value of the tradename is based on the discounted cash flows the tradename can be expected to generate in the future. Based on the results of the valuation, the carrying amount of the tradename exceeded the fair value. The impairment valuation resulted in a $93.4 million impairment charge in the first quarter related to the tradename in the ROW operating segment. The impairment charge was recorded in the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). In the second quarter of 2014 in connection with the completion of the above mentioned Step 2 analysis, the Company reassessed the remaining life of the PDIC tradename and concluded it was no longer indefinite. In the second quarter, the Company reclassified the PDIC tradename to a definite-lived asset with an estimated remaining life of 10 years based on increased political and economic instability in countries in which the tradename is utilized.

Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”)
On July 21, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million Revolving Credit Facility, which was first amended in 2012 to increase the facility size to $700 million and then subsequently amended and restated on September 6, 2013, to, among other things, increase the Revolving Credit Facility to $1.0 billion, $630 million of which may be borrowed by the U.S. borrower, $300 million of which may be borrowed by the European borrowers and $70 million of which may be borrowed by the Canadian borrower. The Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictions including limitations on, among other things, distributions and dividends, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions.The Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company with flexibility and the restrictions in the Revolving Credit Facility generally only apply in the event that the Company's availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below certain specific thresholds.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes a springing maturity concept. The springing maturity will automatically become December 31, 2014, which is applicable only if the Company's Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015 are not, within 90 days of their maturity, repaid or refinanced with indebtedness that matures or is mandatorily redeemable or is redeemable at the option of the holders thereof not earlier than the date that is 6 months after September 6, 2018 unless, if such notes are not repaid or refinanced, there is at least $100 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and the fixed charge coverage ratio is not less than 1.15 to 1.00, in each case after giving pro forma effect to the repayment of such notes. The commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $250 million, subject to certain conditions and approvals as set forth in the credit agreement. The Company capitalized $4.9 million in 2013, $2.3 million in 2012 and $4.8 million in 2011 in deferred financing costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility requires maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 if availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of $100 million or 10% of the then existing aggregate lender commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments	'
	Financial Instruments
	The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency and raw material (commodity) prices. To manage risks associated with the volatility of these natural business exposures, the Company enters into interest rate, commodity and foreign currency derivative agreements, as well as copper and aluminum forward pricing agreements. The Company does not purchase or sell derivative instruments for trading purposes. The Company does not engage in derivative contracts for which a lack of marketplace quotations would necessitate the use of fair value estimation techniques.
	As of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding interest rate swaps. In the three and six months ended June 28, 2013, the Company utilized interest rate swaps to manage its interest expense exposure by fixing its interest rate on a portion of the Company’s floating rate debt. The Company did not provide or receive any collateral specifically for these contracts.
	The Company enters into commodity instruments to hedge the purchase of copper, aluminum and lead in future periods and foreign currency exchange contracts principally to hedge the currency fluctuations in certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby reducing the Company’s risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. Principal transactions hedged during the year were firm sales and purchase commitments. The fair value of foreign currency contracts represents the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices.
	As of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges. In the three and six months ended June 28, 2013, the Company accounted for certain commodity instruments and foreign currency exchange contracts as cash flow or economic hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to the income statement when the effects of the items being hedged are realized. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are recognized in current period earnings.
	Fair Value of Derivatives Instruments
	The notional amounts and fair values of derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges at June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are shown below (in millions).

	As of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all financial instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements held by various financial institutions. In general, the terms of our agreements provide that in the event of an early termination the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty.  The Company's accounting policy is to not offset these positions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net positions of the enforceable master netting agreements are not significantly different from the gross positions noted in the table above. Depending on the extent of an unrealized loss position on a derivative contract held by the Company, certain counterparties may require collateral to secure the Company's derivative contract position. As of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no contracts held by the Company that required collateral to secure the Company's derivative positions.
	For the derivative instruments that were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges at June 28, 2013, the effective portion of the unrealized gain and loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, which generally occurs over periods of less than one year. Gain and loss on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

	For derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivatives is reported in current earnings. For the three fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, the Company recorded a gain of $3.9 million and a loss of $10.3 million, respectively, for derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges in other income (expense). For the six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, the Company recorded a loss of $10.7 million and $20.4 million, respectively, for derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges in other income (expense).
	Other Forward Pricing Agreements
	In the normal course of business, the Company enters into forward pricing agreements for the purchase of copper and aluminum for delivery in a future month to match certain sales transactions. The Company accounts for these forward pricing arrangements under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exception because these arrangements are for purchases of copper and aluminum that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used by the Company over a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. For these arrangements, it is probable at the inception and throughout the life of the arrangements that the arrangements will not settle net and will result in physical delivery of the inventory. At June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $31.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of future copper and aluminum purchases that were under forward pricing agreements. At June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of these arrangements was $31.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively, and the Company had unrealized gains of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to these transactions. The Company expects the unrealized gains under these agreements to offset firm sales price commitments with customers. Depending on the extent of the unrealized loss position on certain forward pricing agreements, certain counterparties may require collateral to secure the Company’s forward purchase agreements. There were no funds posted as collateral as of June 27, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

	Income Taxes
	The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 was (110.0%) and 67.0% respectively. The negative effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2014 was primarily due to no tax benefit being recognized on $23.4 million of asset impairment charges in India and Peru as well as losses in other jurisdictions where valuation allowances are recorded against deferred tax assets. Similarly, the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2013 was negatively influenced by recording no tax benefit on losses in jurisdictions where valuation allowances were recorded against deferred tax assets.
	The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 was 2.5% and (62.8%) respectively. The low effective tax rate on the pre-tax loss for the six months ended June 27, 2014 was primarily due to a relatively small income tax benefit recorded on the significant pre-tax charges related to asset impairments and the Venezuela currency devaluation recorded in the first quarter.  A $19.9 million income tax benefit was recognized due to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities associated with the $93.4 million PDIC tradename impairment charge, a $0.1 million income tax benefit was recognized on the $155.1 million PDIC goodwill impairment charge, no income tax benefit was recognized on the $8.8 million Venezuela lower of cost or market inventory charge, no income tax benefit was recorded on the $23.4 million of asset impairment charges in Peru and India due to the existence of valuation allowances in both jurisdictions, and no income tax benefit was recognized related to the $83.1 million Venezuelan currency devaluation charge.  Similarly, the effective tax rate on the pre-tax income for the six months ended June 28, 2013 was negatively influenced by recording no tax benefit on the Venezuelan currency devaluation or losses in jurisdictions where valuation allowances were recorded against deferred tax assets.
	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company accrued approximately $2.8 million of income tax expense for uncertain tax positions likely to be taken in the current year and for interest and penalties on tax positions taken in prior periods, all of which would have a favorable impact on the effective tax rate, if recognized.
	The Company files income tax returns in numerous tax jurisdictions around the world. Due to uncertainties regarding the timing and outcome of various tax audits, appeals and settlements, it is difficult to reliably estimate the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that could change within the next twelve months. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that approximately $16 million of unrecognized tax benefits could change within the next twelve months due to the resolution of tax audits and statute of limitations expiration.
	The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") currently is in the process of examining the Company's 2012 consolidated income tax return.  The IRS completed its examination of the Company's 2007 through 2010 consolidated income tax returns in the second quarter of 2013 with insignificant tax adjustments.  With limited exceptions, tax years prior to 2008 are no longer open in major foreign, state, or local tax jurisdictions.

Stock Repurchase Programs
On December 10, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company’s existing $125 million share repurchase program through the end of 2014. Stock purchases under this program may be made through the open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate by a special committee appointed by the Board. Under this stock repurchase program the Company purchased no common shares during the three months ended June 27, 2014. Under this stock repurchase program the Company purchased $30.7 million, or 1,000,000 common shares at an average price of $30.73 per share, during the six months ended June 27, 2014. Under this stock repurchase program the Company purchased $19.0 million, or 579,038 common shares at an average price of $32.76 per share, during the three and six months ended June 28, 2013. The Company's future repurchase of shares is subject to the terms of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Subordinated Convertible Notes, Senior Floating Notes and 5.75% Senior Notes.
Dividends on Common Stock
On May 20, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the payment of a regular quarterly dividend. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share per quarter, or approximately $8.8 million and $17.8 million in total. During the three months ended June 28, 2013, the Company declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share, or approximately $8.9 million in total, to all common shareholders of record as of June 10, 2013. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record dates and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors. In determining dividends, the Board of Directors takes into consideration items such as general business conditions, financial performance, projected cash flows and anticipated financing needs. Future payments of dividends are also subject to the Company's Revolving Credit Facility, the indentures governing the Subordinated Convertible Notes, Senior Floating Rate Notes and 5.75% Senior Notes, and the requirements of Delaware General Corporation law.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan (“Deferred Compensation Plan”) under the terms and conditions disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company accounts for the Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with ASC 710 - Compensation–General as it relates to arrangements where amounts earned are held in a rabbi trust. The market value of mutual fund investments, nonvested and subsequently vested stock and restricted stock in the rabbi trust was $41.3 million and $42.0 million as of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The market value of the assets held by the rabbi trust, exclusive of the market value of the shares of the Company’s nonvested and subsequently vested restricted stock, restricted stock units held in the deferred compensation plan and Company stock investments by participants’ elections, at June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $23.8 million and $22.2 million, respectively, and is classified as “other non-current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts payable to the plan participants at June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, excluding the market value of the shares of the Company’s nonvested and subsequently vested restricted stock and restricted stock units held, were $25.8 million and $24.2 million, respectively, and are classified as “other liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	Share-Based Compensation
	The Company has various plans that provide for granting restricted stock units, performance stock units, restricted stock and stock options to certain employees and independent directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Black-Scholes valuation model is used to determine the fair value of non-qualified stock options. The fair value of performance stock units is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards fair value is based on the Company market stock price on the date of grant. The table below summarizes share-based compensation for the three and six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 (in millions).

	Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
	On October 1, 2012, the Company participated in a share subscription for 60% of the outstanding and issued shares of Procables. The existing shareholders immediately prior to the subscription (the “Sellers” or “Minority Shareholders”) maintained control of the remaining 40% of the shares. The Company and the Minority Shareholders also agreed to certain put and call options with regard to the remaining 40% interest in Procables retained by the Minority Shareholders. For a 36-month period commencing on the fifth anniversary of the closing date, the Minority Shareholders may exercise a put option to sell their entire 40% interest in Procables to the Company. The Company shall be irrevocably obligated to purchase the shares (the "Put Option"). In addition, the Company has a call option (the "Call Option") to purchase the Minority Shareholders’ 40% interest in Procables, during the 36-month period commencing on the expiration of the Put Option period. The consideration to be exchanged, per share in the event of a Put Option or Call Option shall be the higher of the following (1) the final per share purchase price; or (2) a price per share based on the Company's enterprise value equal to seven times the average of its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) over the two most recently audited year-end financial statements immediately prior to the option being exercised, minus the 12-month average Net Indebtedness of the Company for the most recent audited fiscal year (“EBITDA average”). The Company determined that the Put Option is embedded within the noncontrolling interest shares that are subject to the Put Option. The redemption feature requires classification of the Minority Shareholder's interest in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets outside of equity under the caption “Redeemable non-controlling interest”.
	The redeemable non-controlling interest of Procables was recorded on the acquisition date based on the estimated fair value of the shares including the embedded Put Option. The fair value of the Put Option was estimated at the higher of the final per share purchase price or EBITDA average. At June 27, 2014, the final per share purchase price was greater than the EBITDA average; therefore, the redeemable non-controlling interest was valued at the same cost as the fair value determined at the opening balance sheet date subject to foreign currency translation. Subsequent adjustments to the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest due to the redemption feature, if any, will be recognized as they occur and recorded within Net Income (Loss).
	The following is a rollforward of the redeemable non-controlling interest (in millions):
	Balance, December 31, 2013	$	17
	Net income (loss)	—
	Foreign currency translation	0.5

	The Company applies the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record dates and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.
	A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of earnings (loss) per common share-basic to earnings (loss) per common share-assuming dilution is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

	-3	Under the two-class method, earnings (loss) per share – basic reflects undistributed earnings per share for both common stock and unvested share-based payment awards (restricted stock).
	-4	Outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities in undistributed earnings in the calculation above; however, the effect rounded to $0.0 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2014.
	Under ASC 260 - Earnings per Share and ASC 470 - Debt and because of the Company’s obligation to settle the par value of the Subordinated Convertible Notes in cash, the Company is not required to include any shares underlying the Subordinated Convertible Notes in its weighted average shares outstanding – assuming dilution until the average stock price per share for the quarter exceeds the $36.75 conversion price of the Subordinated Convertible Notes and only to the extent of the additional shares that the Company may be required to issue in the event that the Company’s conversion obligation exceeds the principal amount of the Subordinated Convertible Notes.
	Regarding the Subordinated Convertible Notes, the average stock price threshold conditions had not been met as of June 27, 2014. At any such time in the future that threshold conditions are met, only the number of shares issuable under the “treasury” method of accounting for the share dilution would be included in the Company’s earnings per share – assuming dilution calculation, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price.
	The following table provides examples of how changes in the Company’s stock price would require the inclusion of additional shares in the denominator of the weighted average shares outstanding – assuming dilution calculation for the Subordinated Convertible Notes.

	Segment Information
	The Company conducts its operations through three geographic operating and reportable segments – North America, Europe and Mediterranean, and ROW, which consists of operations in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The Company’s operating segments align with the structure of the Company’s internal management organization. All three segments engage in the development, design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of copper, aluminum and fiber optic communication, electric utility and electrical infrastructure wire and cable products as well as rod mill wire and cable products.
	Net revenues as shown below represent sales to external customers for each segment. Intersegment sales have been eliminated. In North America intersegment sales were $8.5 million and $17.8 million, in Europe and Mediterranean, intersegment sales were $13.2 million and $26.8 million and in ROW, intersegment sales were $9.4 million and $16.5 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively. In North America, intersegment sales were $5.1 million and $9.4 million, in Europe and Mediterranean, intersegment sales were $10.8 million and $14.9 million and in ROW, intersegment sales $19.4 million and $37.7 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2013, respectively.
	The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income. Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, other income (expense), other financial costs and income tax. Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 is as follows:

	Commitments and Contingencies
	The Company is subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations covering the storage, handling, emission and discharge of materials into the environment, including CERCLA, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act (including the 1990 amendments) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
	The Company's subsidiaries in the United States have been identified as potentially responsible parties with respect to several sites designated for cleanup under CERCLA or similar state laws, which impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages without regard to fault or the legality of waste generation or disposal. Persons liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at those sites. Although CERCLA imposes joint and several liability on all potentially responsible parties, in application, the potentially responsible parties typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon, among other things, the volume of waste contributed by each potentially responsible party.
	Settlements can often be achieved through negotiations with the appropriate environmental agency or the other potentially responsible parties. Potentially responsible parties that contributed small amounts of waste (typically less than 1% of the waste) are often given the opportunity to settle as “de minimus” parties, resolving their liability for a particular site. The Company does not own or operate any of the waste sites with respect to which it has been named as a potentially responsible party by the government. Based on the Company's review and other factors, it believes that costs to the Company relating to environmental clean-up at these sites will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
	At June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had an accrued liability of approximately $3.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for various environmental-related liabilities to the extent costs are known or can be reasonably estimated as its liability. While it is difficult to estimate future environmental-related liabilities accurately, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations or cleanup costs of the sites discussed above.
	In addition, Company subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging exposure to asbestos in products manufactured by the Company. As of June 27, 2014, the Company is a defendant in approximately 29,037 cases brought in Federal District Courts throughout the United States. In the six months ended June 27, 2014, 55 asbestos cases were brought against the Company. In the calendar year 2013, 133 asbestos cases were brought against the Company. In the last 20 years, General Cable has had no cases proceed to verdict. In many of the cases, General Cable was dismissed as a defendant before trial for lack of product identification. As of June 27, 2014, 22,063 asbestos cases have been dismissed. In the six months ended June 27, 2014, 130 asbestos cases were dismissed. As of December 31, 2013, 21,933 cases were dismissed. With regards to the approximately 29,037 remaining pending cases, General Cable is aggressively defending these cases based upon either lack of product identification as to General Cable manufactured asbestos-containing product and/or lack of exposure to asbestos dust from the use of General Cable product.
	For cases outside the Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) as of June 27, 2014, Plaintiffs have asserted monetary damages in 370 cases. In 227 of these cases, plaintiffs allege only damages in excess of some dollar amount (about $343 thousand per plaintiff); in these cases there are no claims for specific dollar amounts requested as to any defendant. In the 142 other cases pending in state and federal district courts (outside the MDL), plaintiffs seek approximately $448.0 million in damages from as many as 50 defendants. In one case, plaintiffs have asserted damages related to General Cable in the amount of $10.0 million. In addition, in relation to these 370 cases, there are claims of $331.0 million in punitive damages from all of the defendants. However, many of the plaintiffs in these cases allege non-malignant injuries. As of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had accrued, on a gross basis, approximately $4.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and as of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, had recovered approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million of insurance recoveries for these lawsuits, respectively. The net amount of $4.3 million and $4.7 million, as of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013 represents the Company's best estimate in order to cover resolution of current and future asbestos-related claims.
	Settlement payments are made, and the asbestos accrual is relieved, when the Company receives a fully executed settlement release from the Plaintiff's counsel. As of June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, aggregate settlement costs were $9.3 million and $8.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, settlement costs totaled $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, settlement costs totaled $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, aggregate litigation costs were $23.8 million and $22.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, litigation costs were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, litigation costs were $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
	On July 5, 2011, the European Commission issued a Statement of Objections in relation to its ongoing competition investigation to a number of wire and cable manufacturers in the submarine and underground power cables business, including the Company's Spanish affiliate, Grupo General Cable Sistemas, and its French subsidiary, Silec. The Statement of Objections alleged that the two affiliates engaged in violations of competition law in the underground power cables businesses for limited periods of time. The allegations related to Grupo Sistemas claimed that it had participated in a cartel from January 2003 to May 2007, while the allegations related to Silec were for the ten month period following its December 22, 2005 acquisition by Grupo Sistemas.
	Following formal responses by General Cable to the Statement of Objections in October 2011 and a hearing in 2012, the European Commission issued a final decision on April 2, 2014. In the decision, the claims of infringement against Grupo Sistemas were dismissed for lack of evidence of alleged cartel activity. With regard to Silec, the Commission’s decision imposed a fine of 1.9 million Euros related to the period Silec has been owned by General Cable. This fine was based on participation that allegedly commenced well before the Silec acquisition. On June 13, 2014, General Cable filed an appeal with the General Court of the European Union challenging the Commission’s decision as to Silec in Europe based on established precedent. General Cable also continues to pursue its claim for full indemnification for the Silec fine under the terms of the acquisition agreement with SAFRAN SA executed in 2005.
	In March 2012, the Company received formal notice of a claim for damages arising from a transformer fire that occurred in December 2010 allegedly resulting in loss of equipment and some consequential damages at a metal processing facility in Iceland. The Company supplied and installed cables and terminations to the transformer, which was manufactured and installed by an independent third party, during 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. The Company's work was inspected and accepted by the customer in March 2007. In August 2012, the customer initiated arbitration proceedings before the ICC Tribunal with a request to arbitrate in Pennsylvania. In September 2012, the Company initiated litigation in Pennsylvania state court seeking a declaration that it is not liable for any damages associated with the alleged loss resulting from the transformer fire and seeking to enjoin the ICC arbitration proceedings. The customer then moved the case from state to federal district court in the Western District of Pennsylvania which determined on motion that the ICC Tribunal not the court should decide whether the claims were arbitrable in the first instance. A decision on arbitrability is pending before the ICC Tribunal. The Company believes it has substantial defenses to potential liability in regard to the transformer fire and claimed loss. At this time, the Company is unable to predict an estimated range of damages or whether it will have any liability, if any, attributable to the transformer fire.
	One of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries is involved in an administrative proceeding with a state treasury office regarding whether tax incentives granted to the Company by one Brazilian state are applicable to goods sold in another Brazilian state from September 2008 to December 31, 2009. The Company believes it correctly relied on the tax incentives granted and that it has substantial defenses to their disallowance by the Brazilian state claimant. The principal amount claimed to be due during the contested period is approximately $8 million which does not include penalties and interest which could be substantial. In September 2012, the 1st Chamber of the Administrative Court found that the Company was not liable for any incentive tax payments claimed by the state treasury office. This decision was appealed by the Brazilian state and the Administrative Court determined in April 2013 that the subsidiary is liable for a part of the contested amount. The Company's subsidiary is seeking formal judicial review of this latest decision on the merits in the Civil Court and obtained an injunction in April 2013 restraining collection of the tax pending the review process in the Civil Court in further proceedings. The Brazilian state subsequently sought to overturn this injunction and the State Court rejected the application in May 2013. Thereafter, in October 2013, a judge in the State Court set aside the injunction and the Company's subsidiary also took an appeal to the State Court of Appeal, which is awaiting a decision. In the meantime, the decision setting aside the injunction and the Brazilian state's ability to enforce its purported tax claims are stayed pending the appeal process.
	The Company's Brazilian subsidiaries have received formal notices of infractions from the Brazilian state authorities related to alleged failures of tax matters associated with the distribution of goods and services from one state to another and alleged failure to file electronic records with the state authorities in regard to inventories, good receipts, and invoices from acquisitions.  The total amount of taxes allegedly due for the infractions including potential interest and penalties is up to $35 million.  The Company has recorded approximately $2.3 million associated with those claims that the Company believes are probable to result in a negative outcome.  At this time, the Company believes it has defenses to all remaining claims or is unable to predict an estimated range of damages and whether or not a liability will exist for these remaining claims.
	Two civil complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on October 21, 2013 and December 4, 2013 by named plaintiffs, on behalf of purported classes of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s publicly traded securities, against the Company, Gregory Kenny, the President and Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Robinson, the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. On the Company’s motion, the complaints were transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, the actions were consolidated, and a consolidated complaint was filed in that Court on May 20, 2014 by City of Livonia Employees Retirement System, as lead plaintiff on behalf of a purported class of all persons or entities who purchased our securities between November 3, 2010 and October 14, 2013 (“the City of Livonia Compliant”). The City of Livonia Complaint alleges claims under the antifraud and controlling person liability provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, alleging generally, among other assertions, that the Company employed inadequate internal financial reporting controls that resulted in, among other things, improper revenue recognition, understated cost of sales, overstated operating income, net income and earnings per share, and the failure to detect inventory lost through theft; that the Company issued materially false financial results that had to be restated on two occasions; and that statements of Messrs. Kenny and Robinson that they had tested and found effective the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure were false. The City of Livonia Complaint alleges that as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s stock price was artificially inflated and the plaintiffs suffered damages in connection with their purchase of the Company’s stock. The City of Livonia Complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount; reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel and experts fees; and such equitable injunctive or other relief as the Court deems just and proper. In addition, a derivative complaint was filed on January 7, 2014 in the Campbell County, Kentucky Circuit Court against all but one member of the Company’s Board of Directors, including Mr. Kenny, two former directors and against Mr. Robinson and two former ROW officials, one of whom is a former executive officer. The derivative complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by knowingly failing to ensure that the Company implemented and maintained adequate internal controls over the Company’s accounting and financial reporting functions and by knowingly disseminating to stockholders materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s financial results and internal controls. The derivative complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount, appropriate equitable relief to remedy the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, attorney’s fees, experts’ fees and other costs. On March 5, 2014, the derivative case was placed on inactive status until a motion is filed by a party to reinstate the action to the Court’s active docket.  On July 18, 2014, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the City of Livonia Complaint based on plaintiff’s failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The Company believes the City of Livonia Complaint and the derivative complaint, insofar as it relates to the Company’s directors and Mr. Robinson, are without merit and intend to vigorously contest the actions.
	As previously reported, on October 29, 2012, the Company announced that it had identified historical accounting errors in its Brazilian subsidiary primarily relating to inventory. The Company believes that the Brazil inventory accounting issues are, to a significant extent, attributable to a complex theft scheme affecting work in process and finished goods inventory. The Company determined that it may have one or more policies of insurance that would respond to the losses associated with this reported theft scheme subject to a $15 million limit, and the Company is currently pursuing recovery from its insurer for this loss.
	The Company is reviewing certain commission payments involving sales to customers of our subsidiary in Angola. The Angola review has focused upon payment practices with respect to employees of public utility companies, use of agents in connection with such payment practices, and the manner in which the payments were reflected on our books and records, which may have implications under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company voluntarily contacted the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Department of Justice to advise them of this review, and the Company continues to cooperate with both agencies with respect to this matter. At this time, the Company is unable to make an estimate of the amount of loss, if any, or range of possible loss that the Company could incur as a result of the foregoing matter.
	As previously disclosed, the Company conducted internal investigations, subject to the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and with the assistance of external counsel, relating to matters addressed in the amended Forms 10-K and Forms 10-Q the Company filed in March 2013 and January 2014. The Company voluntarily contacted the SEC to advise it of the Company's initial internal investigations, and the Company has provided information on an ongoing basis as the Company's internal investigations proceeded. The SEC has issued a formal order of investigation. Pursuant to that formal order, the SEC has issued subpoenas to the Company seeking relevant documents and to certain current and former employees seeking their testimony. The Company continues to cooperate with the SEC in connection with its investigation.
	Any determination that the Company's operations or activities are not in compliance with existing laws or regulations could result in the imposition of substantial fines, civil and criminal penalties, and equitable remedies, including disgorgement and injunctive relief. Because the government investigations and our review regarding the Angola matter are ongoing, the Company is unable to predict their duration, scope, results, or consequences. At this time, the Company is unable to make an estimate of the amount of loss, if any, or range of possible loss that the Company could incur as a result of the foregoing matters.
	The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings and administrative actions. Such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its result of operations, cash flows or financial position.
	The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements related principally to certain administrative, manufacturing and distribution facilities and transportation equipment. At June 27, 2014, future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable lease agreements during the twelve month periods beginning June 27, 2014 through June 28, 2019 and thereafter are $41.4 million, $35.2 million, $31.4 million, $11.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, and $12.5 million thereafter.
	As of June 27, 2014, the Company had $59.3 million in letters of credit, $194.8 million in various performance bonds and $319.2 million in other guarantees. Other guarantees include bank guarantees and advance payment bonds. These letters of credit, performance bonds and guarantees are periodically renewed and are generally related to risk associated with self-insurance claims, defined benefit plan obligations, contract performance, quality and other various bank and financing guarantees. Advance payment bonds are often required by customers when the Company obtains advance payments to secure the production of cable for long term contracts. The advance payment bonds provide the customer protection on their deposit in the event that the Company does not perform under the contract. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for excess availability under the Company’s various credit borrowings.

	Fair Value Disclosure
	The fair market values of the Company’s financial instruments are determined based on the fair value hierarchy as discussed in ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements.
	The Company carries derivative assets and liabilities (Level 2) and marketable equity securities (Level 1) held in the rabbi trust as part of the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan at fair value. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the over-the-counter market are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to generate pricing and volatility factors, which are used to value the position. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. Marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value, which are based on quoted market prices.
	Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions).

	At June 27, 2014, there were no financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). In the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, the Company recorded impairment charges of $16.5 million and $6.9 million for its India and Peru businesses, respectively. To determine the fair value of these assets, the Company engaged a third-party to perform a current appraisal of the machinery and equipment and real property assets utilizing standard valuation approaches; the fair value was measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).  The non-financial assets measured at fair value which include the India land, buildings and machinery and equipment, are fair valued at $13.7 million at June 27, 2014 and the Peru machinery and equipment which is fair valued at $4.0 million at June 27, 2014.
	Similarly, there were no other nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

	Venezuelan Operations
	The Venezuelan government has maintained currency controls and a fixed official exchange rate since February 2003. The Commission for the Administration of Foreign Exchange (“CADIVI”) until recently controlled the sale and purchase of foreign currency in Venezuela. In 2011, CADIVI established an official exchange rate of 4.3 Venezuelan bolivar fuertes (“BsF”) to 1 U.S. dollar ("U.S. Dollar") (the “prior official rate”). On February 13, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of its currency from 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar to 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar (the “official rate”).
	In March 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the creation of a new alternative currency exchange system authorizing certain companies that operate in designated industry sectors to exchange a limited volume of bolivars for dollars at a bid rate established via weekly auctions under the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement (“SICAD 1”). These auctions began weekly in October 2013 and the Central Bank of Venezuela began publishing the average exchange rate resulting from the weekly SICAD 1 auctions in December 2013.
	On January 24, 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the establishment of a dual exchange rate system. A rate of 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar will be applied to priority sectors, while other sectors of the economy are eligible to apply an exchange rate determined based on the results of the Venezuelan central bank’s system of weekly currency auctions, SICAD 1, to a wider range of transactions.  In January 2014, the Venezuelan government also announced the replacement of CADIVI with a new foreign currency administration, the National Center for Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX). An entity may seek approval to transact through the CENCOEX mechanism at the official rate; however, we understand that certain transactions may be approved at the latest published SICAD 1 rate depending on an entity’s facts and circumstances. The approximate SICAD 1 rate at June 27, 2014 was 10.6 BsF per U.S. dollar.
	On February 19, 2014, the Venezuelan government announced plans for another currency exchange mechanism (“SICAD 2”) which allows authorized foreign exchange operators, such as regulated banks and capital market brokers, to act as intermediaries in the sale of acquisitions of foreign currency. Once regulated, this may facilitate easier access to foreign currency. The SICAD 2 rate is intended to more closely resemble a market-driven exchange rate compared to the rates provided by Venezuela’s other regulated exchange mechanisms. SICAD 2 became effective on March 24, 2014 and the approximate SICAD 2 rate at June 27, 2014 was 50 BsF per U.S. dollar.
	The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary in Venezuela is the U.S. dollar.  Due to the impact of the devaluation on February 13, 2013, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $40.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily related to the remeasurement of the local Venezuelan balance sheet on the date of the devaluation at the 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate.  At December 31, 2013, the Company was still able to import copper at the official CADIVI rate. In 2013, the Company remeasured the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in bolivars of its Venezuelan subsidiary at the official rate.
	In the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, limited amounts of dollars were approved at the official rate, including $2.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, which was approved for payment of copper imports that were authorized in 2013 at the official rate. In the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, $0.8 million was authorized at the 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate. There were approximately $44.8 million of U.S. dollar payables which the Company expects to settle at the official rate as of June 27, 2014.
	As of June 27, 2014, the Company is eligible for participation in the SICAD 1 auctions; therefore, the Company is eligible to purchase U.S. dollars but the amounts are restricted by government approvals. There are uncertainties as to the restrictions placed on eligible participants and the amount of U.S. Dollars available for purchase through the auction process. The Company participated in two SICAD 1 auctions in the three months ended June 27, 2014. The Company was successful in one of the two SICAD 1 auctions and was awarded $15.2 million for the purchase of 4.4 million copper pounds. To date, these funds have not been settled but are expected to settle in August 2014.
	After consultation with Venezuelan legal counsel, management had determined in the first quarter that “foreign investments” in Exchange Agreement No. 25 should be interpreted to mean that future dividend remittances would be transacted at the exchange rate established through the SICAD 1 auction process, and should be used as the exchange rate required to remeasure the Company’s net monetary assets, after giving consideration to the U.S. dollar-denominated payables noted above which the Company expects the Venezuelan government to approve and settle by using U.S. dollars obtained at the official rate.
	Recognizing there is considerable uncertainty as to the nature of transactions that will flow through SICAD 1 auction and how SICAD 1 auction will operate in the future, effective in the first quarter and through June 27, 2014, the Company expects that the majority of Venezuelan subsidiary’s net monetary assets will be remeasured at the SICAD1 rate since that is the rate the Company now believes, based in part on the advice of Venezuelan legal counsel, will be applicable for future dividend remittances. Although the CENCOEX approval process for U.S. dollar copper payments has been very slow, the Company continues to believe that transactions for imports of essential goods, such as copper purchases needed for the production of wire and cable, will be settled at the official exchange rate and the Company expects to continue to receive authorizations and payments at this rate, which it will use for remeasuring the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities. In applying the March 28, 2014 SICAD 1 exchange rate of 10.8 BsF per U.S. dollar to certain of its monetary assets and liabilities, the Company recorded a devaluation charge of $83.1 million for the six months ended June 27, 2014 which was included in Other Income (Expense) within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of June 27, 2014, the Company used the SICAD 1 rate of 10.6 BsF per U.S. dollar to remeasure all of its BsF-denominated assets and liabilities of its Venezuelan subsidiary.
	The Company does not intend to utilize the SICAD 2 foreign exchange mechanism at the prevailing exchange rates. The Company has assessed a number of factors, including the limited number of SICAD 2 auctions held to date, the Company’s ability to access the SICAD 2 exchange to date, the restrictions placed on eligible participants, the amount of U.S. Dollars available for purchase through the auction process, and the historical lack of official information about the resulting SICAD 2 rate.  At this time, based upon its assessment, the Company does not believe it would be appropriate to use rates from the SICAD 2 exchange system for financial reporting purposes at June 27, 2014.
	In addition to the aforementioned exchange controls, the Venezuelan President used decree power to pass the Law of Costs, Earnings, and Fair Profits, which became effective in January 2014, authorizing, among other things, the Venezuelan government to set maximum pricing limits in the private sector. Therefore, the majority of the Company’s product portfolio in Venezuela is subject to price controls, which may restrict the Company’s ability to increase prices more than 30% higher than product costs. Until this law is removed or revised to allow for a higher level of pricing, the Venezuelan operating profit margin is expected to be lower than historical and previously projected future profit levels. In addition, ongoing labor negotiations and expected continuing social unrest in Venezuela are expected to result in lower than historical and previously projected future profit levels.
	At June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s total assets in Venezuela were $222.7 million and $367.3 million and total liabilities were $83.3 million and $102.7 million, respectively. At June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, total assets included BsF denominated monetary assets of $165.0 million and $238.3 million, which consisted primarily of $116.8 million and $194.0 million of cash, and $39.3 million and $39.6 million of accounts receivable, respectively. At June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, total liabilities included BsF denominated monetary liabilities of $39.1 million and $65.1 million, which consisted primarily of accounts payable and other current and non-current accruals, respectively.
	The Company's sales in Venezuela were 2% and 4% of consolidated net sales for the three fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively. Operating loss in Venezuela was (8)% and operating income in Venezuela was 27% of consolidated operating income for the three fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively. The Company's sales in Venezuela were 2% and 3% of consolidated net sales for the six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively. Operating loss in Venezuela was 22% of consolidated operating loss and operating income in Venezuela was 24% of consolidated operating income for the six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively.
	For the three fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, 100% and 98% of Venezuela's sales were BsF denominated, respectively. For the three fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 Venezuela's cost of sales were approximately 45% and 39% BsF denominated, respectively. For the six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, 100% and 99% of Venezuela's sales were BsF denominated, respectively. For the six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 Venezuela's cost of sales were approximately 50% and 40% BsF denominated, respectively.
	At June 27, 2014, there were approximately $44.8 million of U.S. dollar payables which the Company expects to settle at the official rate. Approximately $4.2 million of the requested settlements have been outstanding less than 90 days and $40.6 million have been outstanding over 90 days. Currency exchange controls in Venezuela continue to limit the Company’s ability to repatriate funds from Venezuela. We do not consider the net assets of Venezuela to be integral to the Company’s ability to service its debt or operational requirements.
	During the three and six fiscal months ended June 28, 2013, the Company settled $35.8 million and $42.9 million U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and accounts payable in Venezuela, respectively. During the three and six fiscal months ended June 28, 2013, settlements were made at the rate of 4.30 BsF per U.S. dollar on U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and accounts payable because the authorization for copper imports was submitted prior to the devaluation on February 13, 2013. At December 31, 2013, $37.6 million of requests of U.S. dollars to settle U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables remained pending with CADIVI, which we expected to be settled at the 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar rate. At December 31, 2013, approximately $22.4 million of the requested settlements have been pending up to 30 days, $15.1 million have been pending up to 180 days, and $0.1 million have pending over 180 days. All monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured at 6.30 BsF per U.S. dollar at December 31, 2013.
	As a result of government restrictions, Venezuela continues to operate in a difficult economic environment. The Company has historically taken steps to address operational challenges including obtaining approval of copper imports at the official rates, purchasing other raw material products domestically, and adjusting prices to reflect raw material cost and adherence to government price controls. These regulations, when considered with other governmental policies in Venezuela, may limit our ability to fully benefit from and maintain our controlling financial interest in our Venezuelan subsidiaries. The financial impact on our operations in Venezuela of these events and associated ongoing restrictions are uncertain. At June 27, 2014, management expects ongoing operations to continue in Venezuela, but continues to monitor the economic conditions.

Intercompany Activity
The Parent Company and its Guarantor Subsidiaries participate in a cash pooling program. As part of this program, cash balances are generally swept on a daily basis between the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ bank accounts and those of the Parent Company. There are a significant number of the Company’s subsidiaries that participate in this cash pooling arrangement and there are thousands of transactions per week that occur between the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries, all of which are accounted for through the intercompany accounts.
Parent Company transactions include interest, dividend, tax payments and intercompany sales transactions related to administrative costs incurred by the Parent Company, which are billed to Guarantor Subsidiaries on a cost-plus basis. These costs are reported in the Parent’s “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) Information for the respective period(s). All intercompany transactions are presumed to be settled in cash when they occur and are included in operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Non-operating cash flow changes are classified as financing activities.
A summary of cash and non-cash transactions of the Parent Company’s intercompany account is provided below for the six fiscal months ended June 27, 2014 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2013:

The difference in the goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment in the above table and the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is due to the difference in the average foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended March 28, 2014 as compared to the spot rates at March 28, 2014 at the various entities within the reporting unit.

Outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities in undistributed earnings in the calculation above; however, the effect rounded to $0.0 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2014.

$32.2 million of the currency translation and other adjustment related to the indefinite-lived assets in the ROW operating segment includes a reclassification of the PDIC tradename to a definite-lived asset with an estimated remaining life of 10 years.

[2]

The difference in the goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment in the above table and the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is due to the difference in the average foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended March 28, 2014 as compared to the spot rates at March 28, 2014 at the various entities within the reporting unit.
