	1	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required 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. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. It is suggested that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2014.
	On April 15, 2013, the company’s stockholders approved a proposal to increase the company’s authorized shares of Common Stock and the company’s board of directors declared a two-for-one stock split of the company’s Class A Common Stock and Common Stock (including treasury shares) in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend to stockholders of record on April 30, 2013 and payable on May 15, 2013. All references in the financial statements and footnotes to the number of shares outstanding, price per share, per share amounts and stock based compensation data have been recast to reflect the split for all periods presented.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09).
	ASC 606-10 will replace all existing revenue recognition guidance when effective. ASC 606-10 is effective for the year beginning January 1, 2017. Either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption is allowed under ASC 606-10. The company is in the process of determining whether the adoption of ASC 606-10 will have an impact on the company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

	On February 14, 2013, the company acquired 100 percent of the shares of MiM Isitma Sogutma Havalandirma ve Aritma Sistemleri San. Tic. A.S. (MiM), a privately-held Turkish water treatment company. The addition of MiM expanded the company’s product offerings and gave the company access to Eastern Europe and Black Sea region water treatment markets. MiM is included in the Rest of World segment.
	The company paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $4.0 million, net of cash received of $1.9 million. In addition the company assumed debt of $1.7 million and recorded contingent consideration of $1.1 million, the fair value of the contingent payment due to the former owners of MiM if certain targets are met for growth in sales, gross profits and operating profits through 2017.
	The fair value of the purchase price resulted in an allocation to acquired intangible assets totaling $4.3 million of which $2.4 million has been assigned to customer lists which are being amortized over ten years.
	MiM’s results of operations have been included in the company’s financial statements from February 14, 2013, the date of acquisition. Revenues and pre-tax results associated with MiM included in results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were not material to the company’s net sales or pre-tax earnings.

	The company adopted the A. O. Smith Combined Incentive Compensation Plan (the “plan”) effective January 1, 2007. Stockholders reapproved the plan on April 16, 2012. The plan is a continuation of the A. O. Smith Combined Executive Incentive Compensation Plan which was originally approved by stockholders in 2002. The number of shares available for granting of options, restricted stock or share units under the plan at September 30, 2014 was 2,321,641. Upon stock option exercise or share unit vesting, shares are issued from treasury stock.
	Total stock based compensation cost recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Total stock based compensation cost recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $9.6 million and $8.8 million, respectively.
	Stock Options
	The stock options granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 have three year pro-rata vesting from the date of grant. Stock options are issued at exercise prices equal to the fair value of Common Stock on the date of grant. For active employees, all options granted in 2014 and 2013 expire ten years after date of grant. Options are expensed ratably over the three-year vesting period; however, included in the stock option expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is expense associated with the accelerated vesting of stock option awards for certain employees who either are retirement eligible or become retirement eligible during the vesting period. Stock based compensation cost attributable to stock options in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Stock based compensation expense attributable to stock options in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $4.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
	Changes in option awards, all of which relate to Common Stock, were as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:
			Weighted-			Nine Months			Average		Aggregate
			Average			Ended			Remaining		Intrinsic
			Per Share			September 30,			Contractual		Value

	Exercisable at September 30, 2014		$	20.09			951,732			7 years	$	24.5
	The weighted-average fair value per option at the date of grant during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $16.55 and $12.48, respectively. Assumptions were as follows:
			Nine Months Ended September 30,
			2014			2013
	Expected life (years)			6			6.1
	Risk-free interest rate			2.7	%		2	%
	Dividend yield			1.1	%		1.1	%
	Expected volatility			36.6	%		38.4	%
	The expected life is based on historical exercise behavior and the projected exercise of unexercised stock options. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for the expected life of the option. The actual dividend yield is based on the actual annual dividends divided by the grant date market value of the company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s common stock.
	Restricted Stock and Share Units
	Participants may also be awarded shares of restricted stock or share units under the plan. The company granted 110,605 and 142,900 share units under the plan in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The share units were valued at $5.1 million and $4.9 million at the dates of issuance in 2014 and 2013, respectively, based on the company’s stock price at the dates of grant. The company’s share units are recognized as compensation expense ratably over the three year vesting period; however, included in share unit expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is expense associated with accelerated vesting of share unit awards for certain employees who either are retirement eligible or will become retirement eligible during the vesting period. Share based compensation expense attributable to share units of $1.0 million and $1.2 million was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Share based compensation expense attributable to share units of $5.1 million and $4.7 million was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	A summary of share unit activity under the plan is as follows:

Fair Value Measurements	'
	11	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820, Fair Value Measures and Disclosures, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on the market approach which are prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:
	(dollars in millions)		September 30,			December 31,
	Fair Value Measurement Using		2014			2013
	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		$	125		$	107
	Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			(0.1	)		—
	Total assets measured at fair value		$	124.9		$	107
	There were no changes in the company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair values on a recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Derivative Instruments	'
	12	Derivative Instruments
	ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging as amended, requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of the hedging relationships. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as a part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
	The company designates that all of its hedging instruments are cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amount by which the cumulative change in the value of the hedge more than offsets the cumulative change in the value of the hedged item (i.e., the ineffective portion) is recorded in earnings, net of tax, in the period the ineffectiveness occurs.
	The company utilizes certain derivative instruments to enhance its ability to manage currency as well as raw materials price risk. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The company does not enter into contracts for speculative purposes. The contracts are executed with major financial institutions with no credit loss anticipated for failure of the counterparties to perform.
	Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
	The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. The company utilizes foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to manage the volatility associated with foreign currency purchases, sales and certain intercompany transactions in the normal course of business. Currencies for which the company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts include the British pound, Canadian dollar, Euro, Indian rupee and Mexican peso.
	Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, until the underlying transaction is recorded in earnings. When the hedged item is realized, gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the statement of earnings. The assessment of effectiveness for forward contracts is based on changes in the forward rates. These hedges have been determined to be effective.
	The majority of the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss for cash flow hedges is expected to be reclassified into earnings within one year and all of the hedges will be reclassified into earnings no later than December 31, 2015.
	The following table summarizes, by currency, the contractual amounts of the company’s foreign currency forward contracts:
			September 30,
			2014								2013
	(dollars in millions)		Buy				Sell				Buy				Sell
	British pound		$	—			$	1.3			$	—			$	1.9

	Mexican peso			11.5				—				15.3				—
	Total		$	28.5			$	88.6			$	31.6			$	71.2
	Commodity Futures Contracts
	In addition to entering into supply arrangements in the normal course of business, the company also enters into futures contracts to fix the cost of certain raw material purchases, principally copper, with the objective of minimizing changes in cost due to market price fluctuations. The hedging strategy for achieving this objective is to purchase commodity futures contracts on the open market of the London Metals Exchange (LME) or over the counter contracts based on the LME.
	The minimal after-tax gain on the effective portion of the contracts as of September 30, 2014 was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be reclassified into cost of products sold in the period in which the underlying transaction is recorded in earnings. The effective portion of the contracts will be reclassified within one year. Commodity hedges outstanding at September 30, 2014 involve a total of approximately 1.0 million pounds of copper.
