NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THIRTY-NINE WEEK PERIODS ENDED JUNE 29, 2013 AND JUNE 30, 2012

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Description of the Business – TransDigm Group Incorporated (“TD Group”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TransDigm Inc., is a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components for use on nearly all commercial and military aircraft in service today. TransDigm Inc., along with TransDigm Inc.’s direct and indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (collectively, with TD Group, the “Company” or “TransDigm”), offers a broad range of proprietary aerospace components. TD Group has no significant assets or operations other than its 100% ownership of TransDigm Inc. TD Group’s common stock is listed on The New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the trading symbol “TDG.”

Major product offerings, substantially all of which are ultimately provided to end-users in the aerospace industry, include mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls, ignition systems and engine technology, specialized pumps and valves, power conditioning devices, specialized AC/DC electric motors and generators, NiCad batteries and chargers, engineered latching and locking devices, rods and locking devices, engineered connectors and elastomers, cockpit security components and systems, specialized cockpit displays, aircraft audio systems, specialized lavatory components, seatbelts and safety restraints, engineered interior surfaces and lighting and control technology.

Separate Financial Statements – Separate financial statements of TransDigm Inc. are not presented because TransDigm Inc.’s 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes and 5 1/2% senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by TD Group and all existing 100% owned domestic subsidiaries of TransDigm Inc. and because TD Group has no significant operations or assets separate from its investment in TransDigm Inc.

 

2. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 30, 2012 included in TD Group’s Form 10-K dated November 16, 2012. As disclosed therein, the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The September 30, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from TD Group’s audited financial statements. The results of operations for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

3. ACQUISITIONS

Whippany Actuation Systems, LLC – On June 28, 2013, Whippany Actuation Systems, LLC, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of TransDigm Inc., acquired assets from GE Aviation’s Electromechanical Actuation Division (“Whippany Actuation”) for approximately $147.8 million in cash, subject to adjustments based on the level of working capital as of the closing date of the acquisition. Whippany Actuation manufactures proprietary, highly engineered aerospace electromechanical motion control subsystems for civil and military applications, with product offerings including control electronics, motors, high power mechanical transmissions and actuators. These products fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. Whippany will be integrated into TransDigm’s Power & Control segment. The Company expects that the approximately $95 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes.

Arkwin Industries, Inc. – On June 5, 2013, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of Arkwin Industries, Inc. (“Arkwin”), for approximately $285.8 million in cash, subject to adjustments based on the level of working capital as of the closing date of the acquisition. Arkwin manufactures proprietary, highly engineered aerospace hydraulic and fuel system components for commercial and military aircraft, helicopters and other specialty applications. These products fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. Arkwin will be integrated into TransDigm’s Power & Control segment. The Company expects that the approximately $179 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

Aerosonic designs and manufactures proprietary, highly engineered mechanical and digital altimeters, airspeed indicators, rate of climb indicators, microprocessor controlled air data test sets, angle of attack stall warning systems, integrated air data sensors and other aircraft sensors, monitoring systems and flight instrumentation for use on commercial and military aircraft. These products fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. Aerosonic will be integrated into TransDigm’s Airframe segment. The Company expects that the approximately $19 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

Aero-Instruments Co., LLC – On September 17, 2012, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Aero-Instruments Co., LLC (“Aero-Instruments”), for approximately $34.6 million in cash, which includes a purchase price adjustment of $0.1 million received in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Aero-Instruments designs and manufactures highly engineered air data sensors including pitot probes, pitot-static probes, static pressure ports, angle of attack, temperature sensors and flight test equipment for use primarily in the business jet and helicopter markets. These products fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. Aero-Instruments will be integrated into TransDigm’s Power & Control segment. The Company expects that the approximately $22 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes.

AmSafe Global Holdings, Inc. – On February 15, 2012, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of AmSafe Global Holdings, Inc. (“AmSafe”), for approximately $749.7 million in cash, which includes a purchase price adjustment of $0.5 million paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. AmSafe is a leading supplier of innovative, highly engineered and proprietary safety and restraint equipment used primarily in the global aerospace industry. These products fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. The majority of AmSafe product lines were integrated into TransDigm’s Airframe segment, and the remaining product lines were integrated into the Non-aviation segment. The distribution business acquired as part of AmSafe was sold on August 16, 2012 for approximately $17.8 million in cash, which includes a working capital adjustment of $0.1 million received in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The equity investment in C-Safe LLC acquired as part of AmSafe was sold in October 2012 for approximately $16.4 million, which consisted of $5.0 million in cash at closing and an $11.4 million short-term note receivable, of which $5.5 million was collected in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

The total purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, such excess was allocated to goodwill. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the transaction date (in thousands).

Table of Contents

The Company accounted for the acquisitions using the acquisition method and included the results of operations of the acquisitions in its consolidated financial statements from the effective date of each acquisition. The Company is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets of Whippany Actuation, Arkwin, Aerosonic and Aero-Instruments; therefore, the values attributed to those acquired assets in the consolidated financial statements are subject to adjustment. Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the acquisitions had they occurred at the beginning of the applicable thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended June 29, 2013 or June 30, 2012, are not significant and, accordingly, are not provided.

The acquisitions strengthen and expand the Company’s position to design, produce and supply highly-engineered proprietary aerospace components in niche markets with significant aftermarket content and provide opportunities to create value through the application of our three core value-driven operating strategies (obtaining profitable new business, improving our cost structure, and providing highly engineered value-added products to customers). The purchase price paid for each acquisition reflects the current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and cash flows, as well as, the future EBITDA and cash flows expected to be generated by the business, which are driven in most cases by the recurring aftermarket consumption over the life of a particular aircraft, estimated to be approximately 30 years.

 

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative accounting guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” This guidance eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Companies can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The Company adopted the presentation guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and has elected to present two separate consecutive statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative accounting guidance included in ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” This guidance amends the requirements for goodwill impairment testing. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This guidance is effective for the Company for its annual goodwill impairment testing for the year ending September 30, 2013. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In July 2012, the FASB issued authoritative guidance included in ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” This guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test described in FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” This guidance is effective for the Company for its annual impairment testing for the year ending September 30, 2013. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Amendment No. 2 to 2010 (Revolving) Credit Facility - In accordance with the terms of the credit agreement dated December 6, 2010, as amended by the Amendment No.1, dated as of March 25, 2012 (the “2010 Credit Facility”), TransDigm Inc. entered into Amendment No. 2 to the 2010 Credit Facility on October 9, 2012. Amendment No. 2 to the 2010 Credit Facility provided for a modification to the restricted payment covenant to permit a special dividend in an amount not to exceed $850 million and a modification to the financial covenant ratios.

Amendment No. 2 to 2011 (Term Loan) Credit Facility - In accordance with the terms of the credit agreement, dated as of February 14, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2012 (the “2011 Credit Facility”), TransDigm Inc. entered into Amendment No. 2 and Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement to the 2011 Credit Facility (the “2012 Term Loan Credit Facility Amendment”) on October 9, 2012. The 2012 Term Loan Credit Facility Amendment provides for an additional term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The additional term loan facility was fully drawn on October 15, 2012.

Amended and Restated Credit Facility - On February 28, 2013, TransDigm Inc. entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Amendment and Restatement Agreement”) in which TransDigm amended and restated its 2010 Credit Facility and 2011 Credit Facility. The Amendment and Restatement Agreement provides for a $2,200 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was fully drawn on February 28, 2013, and a $310 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “2013 Credit Facility”).

 

-10-


Table of Contents

The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used to repay in full the outstanding term loans under the 2011 Credit Facility and the related transaction expenses associated therewith. The Term Loan Facility consists of two tranches of term loans—tranche B term loans and tranche C term loans, and the Revolving Credit Facility consists of two tranches—revolving A commitments and revolving B commitments. The tranche B term loans consist of $500 million in the aggregate and the tranche C term loans consist of $1,700 million in the aggregate. The tranche B term loans mature on February 14, 2017 and the tranche C term loans mature on February 28, 2020. The Term Loan Facility requires quarterly principal payments of $5.5 million which began on March 28, 2013. The revolving A commitments consist of $32 million in the aggregate and the revolving B commitments consist of $278 million in the aggregate. The revolving A commitments mature on December 6, 2015 and the revolving B commitments mature on February 28, 2018. At June 29, 2013, the Company had $7.6 million letters of credit outstanding and $302.4 million of borrowings available under the 2013 Credit Facility.

Under the terms of the 2013 Credit Facility, TransDigm is entitled on one or more occasions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request additional commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility or additional term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional term loans. In addition, TransDigm is entitled to convert, subject to certain conditions, the revolving A commitments to revolving B commitments.

All of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2013 Credit Facility is guaranteed by TD Group and all of TransDigm’s current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries). In addition, the obligations of TransDigm and the guarantors under the 2013 Credit Facility are secured ratably in accordance with each lender’s respective revolving and term loan commitments by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future property and assets, including inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, investment property and other personal property (but excluding leasehold interests and certain other assets) of TransDigm and its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries), and a first priority pledge of the capital stock of TransDigm and its subsidiaries (other than foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries, of which 65% of the voting capital stock is pledged).

The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the 2013 Credit Facility will be, at TransDigm’s option, equal to either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBO rate for one, two, three or six-month (or to the extent agreed to by each relevant lender, nine or twelve-month) interest periods chosen by TransDigm, in each case plus an applicable margin percentage. The adjusted LIBO rate is subject to a floor of .75%. At June 29, 2013 the applicable interest rate was 3.50% on the tranche B term loan and 3.75% on the tranche C term loan.

The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory prepayments of principal based on certain percentages of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2013 Credit Facility), commencing 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, subject to certain exceptions (including, with respect to asset sales, the reinvestment in productive assets), TransDigm will be required to prepay the loans outstanding under the term loan facility at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and issuance or incurrence of certain indebtedness. In addition, if, prior to February 28, 2014, the principal amount of the term loans are (i) prepaid substantially concurrently with the incurrence by TD Group, TransDigm or any its subsidiaries of new bank loans that have an effective yield lower than the yield in effect on the term loans so prepaid or (ii) received by a lender due to a mandatory assignment following the failure of such lender to consent to an amendment of the 2013 Credit Facility that has the effect of reducing the effective interest rate with respect to the term loans, such prepayment or receipt shall be accompanied by a premium of 1.0%.

The 2013 Credit Facility contains certain covenants that limit the ability of TD Group, TransDigm and TransDigm’s restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from restricted subsidiaries to TransDigm; (vi) incur or suffer to exist liens securing indebtedness; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; and (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates.

The Company recorded refinancing costs of $30.3 million during the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 representing debt issue costs expensed in conjunction with the refinancing of our 2010 Credit Facility and 2011 Credit Facility.

Issuance of Senior Subordinated Notes - On October 15, 2012 TransDigm Inc. issued $550 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount. The 2020 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5 1/2 % per annum, which accrues from October 15, 2012 and is payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, which began on April 15, 2013. The 2020 Notes mature on October 15, 2020, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions as defined in the indenture governing the 2020 notes.

 

-11-


Table of Contents

The 2020 Notes are subordinated to all of TransDigm’s existing and future senior debt, rank equally with all of its existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of its future debt that is expressly subordinated to the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated unsecured basis by TD Group and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries named in the indenture. The guarantees of the 2020 Notes are subordinated to all of the guarantors’ existing and future senior debt, rank equally with all of their existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of their future debt that is expressly subordinated to the guarantees of the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of TD Group’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Special Cash Dividend - On October 15, 2012 the Company’s board of directors authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $12.85 on each outstanding share of common stock and cash dividend equivalent payments under its stock option plans. The special cash dividend amounting to approximately $664.3 million was paid in November 2012 and dividend equivalent payments amounting to approximately $35.4 million were paid in November and December 2012.

During July 2013 the Company made $38.0 million of dividend equivalent payments related to the October 2009 special cash dividend payment of $7.65 per share and the October 2012 special cash dividend payment of $12.85 per share for unvested options granted prior to October 1, 2011 that become fully vested under the market sweep provisions thereof.

 

9. INCOME TAXES

At the end of each reporting period, TD Group makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. The estimate used in the year-to-date period may change in subsequent periods. During the thirteen week periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the effective income tax rate was 32.9% and 30.7%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the thirteen week period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to discrete items related to IRS settlements and adjustments resulting from the filing of the previous year’s federal tax return. During the thirty-nine week periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the effective income tax rate was 32.5% and 32.6%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for these periods was less than the Federal statutory tax rate due primarily to the domestic manufacturing deduction.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and local jurisdictions as well as foreign jurisdictions located in Belgium, China, France, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years before fiscal 2011. AmSafe is subject to U.S. federal examinations for the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 years. In addition, the Company is subject to state income tax examinations for fiscal years 2009 and later.

At June 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, TD Group had $7.1 million and $6.9 million in unrecognized tax benefits, the recognition of which would have an effect of approximately $6.5 million and $6.3 million on the effective tax rate at June 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company does not believe that the tax positions that comprise the unrecognized tax benefit amount will change significantly over the next 12 months. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

 

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Interest rate swaps were measured at fair value using quoted market prices for the swap interest rate indexes over the term of the swap discounted to present value versus the fixed rate of the contract. The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loans was based on information provided by the agent under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The estimated fair values of the Company’s 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 and 5 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 were based upon quoted market prices.

 

11. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties.

At June 29, 2013, three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements were in place to swap variable rates on the 2013 Credit Facility for a fixed rate based on an aggregate notional amount of $353 million. These interest rate swap agreements converted the variable interest rate on the aggregate notional amount of the 2013 Credit Facility to a fixed rate of 5.17% (2.17% plus the 3% margin percentage) through June 30, 2015.

Interest rate swap agreements are used to manage interest rate risk associated with floating-rate borrowings under our 2013 Credit Facility. The interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis through the expiration date of the interest rate swap agreements, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the term of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Prior to February 28, 2013, these derivative instruments qualified as effective cash flow hedges under GAAP. For these cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the financial instruments was initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affected earnings.

In conjunction with the refinancing of the 2011 Credit Facility, the Company no longer designated the interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, amounts previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholder’s equity will be amortized into earnings over the remaining period of the swap agreements. The net after-tax loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss to be reclassified into interest expense over the remaining term of the swap agreement was $5.6 million at June 29, 2013.

12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In connection with the $12.85 special cash dividend paid in November 2012, in order to take into account the earlier return of capital, the TD Group compensation committee adjusted the market-based vesting features in outstanding options pursuant to the authority granted to the committee under the TD Group stock incentive plan. Under this “market sweep” provision, unvested options granted prior to October 1, 2011 would accelerate and become fully vested if the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded $147.15 per share (previously $160 per share) on any 60 trading days during any consecutive 12-month period commencing March 1, 2013 and unvested options granted in fiscal 2012 would accelerate and become fully vested if the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded $157.15 per share (previously $170 per share) on any 60 trading days during any consecutive 12-month period commencing two years from the date of grant. Options granted in fiscal 2013 do not contain such accelerated vesting provision.

During June 2013, a total of 2,409,420 unvested options granted prior to October 1, 2011 with a weighted-average exercise price per option of $58.35 became fully vested under the market sweep provision. Due to the accelerated vesting, the Company recorded additional stock compensation expense of $24.5 million representing costs that would have been recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the award. In conjunction with the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision, in July 2013 the Company made $38.0 million of dividend equivalent payments related to the October 2009 special cash dividend payment of $7.65 per share and the October 2012 special cash dividend payment of $12.85 per share for unvested options granted prior to October 1, 2011 that became fully vested.

 

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

During TransDigm’s third quarter ended June 29, 2013, the Company changed its internal management structure and its reporting structure of financial information used to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s businesses are organized and managed in three reporting segments: Power & Control, Airframe and Non-aviation.

The Power & Control segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market systems and components that predominately provide power to or control power of the aircraft utilizing electronic, fluid, power and mechanical motion control technologies. Primary customers of this segment are engine and power system and subsystem suppliers, airlines, third party maintenance suppliers, military buying agencies and repair depots. Products are sold in the original equipment and aftermarket market channels.

The Airframe segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market systems and components that are used in non-power airframe applications utilizing airframe and cabin structure technologies. Primary customers of this segment are airframe manufacturers and cabin system suppliers and sub system suppliers, airlines, third party maintenance suppliers, military buying agencies and repair depots. Products are sold in the original equipment and aftermarket market channels.

The Non-aviation segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market products for non-aviation markets. Primary customers of this segment are off road vehicle suppliers and sub system suppliers, child restraint system suppliers, satellite and space system suppliers and fueling system components primarily for the mining industry.

The primary measurements used by management to review and assess the operating performance of each segment are segment net sales, segment EBITDA As Defined and related margin percentage of segment net sales. The Company defines EBITDA As Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus certain non-operating items including refinancing costs, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs and non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with the Company’s stock option plans. Acquisition-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company’s operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction related costs comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments.

EBITDA As Defined is not a measurement of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Although we use EBITDA As Defined to assess the performance of our business and for various other purposes, the use of this non-GAAP financial measure as an analytical tool has limitations, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at values based on market prices, which creates intercompany profit on intersegment sales or transfers that is eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment sales were insignificant for the periods presented below.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement - On July 1, 2013, TransDigm Inc. entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the 2013 Credit Facility. The Amendment permits, among other things, a special dividend of up to $1.9 billion to the holders of TD Group’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, the issuance of the 2021 Notes (as defined below), certain changes to certain negative covenants under the 2013 Credit Facility, a modification to the financial covenant contained in the Revolving Credit Facility established pursuant to the 2013 Credit Facility and a modification to the incremental term loan facility established pursuant to the 2013 Credit Facility by excluding the Incremental Term Facility (as defined below) from the calculation of the availability thereunder.

Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement - On July 1, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the 2013 Credit Facility, TransDigm Inc. entered into an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement (the “Term Loan Assumption Agreement”). The Term Loan Assumption Agreement provides for incremental term loans in the form of additional Tranche C Term Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $900 million (the “Incremental Term Facility”). The Incremental Term Facility was fully drawn on July 1, 2013. The terms and conditions that apply to the Incremental Term Facility are substantially the same as the terms and conditions that apply to the existing tranche C term loans under the 2013 Credit Facility.

Issuance of Senior Subordinated Notes - On July 1, 2013, TransDigm issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount. The 2021 Notes bear interest at the rate of 7 1/2% per annum, which accrues from July 1, 2013 and is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2014. The 2021 Notes mature on July 15, 2021, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Notes.

The 2021 Notes are subordinated to all of TransDigm’s existing and future senior debt, rank equally with all of its existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of its future debt that is expressly subordinated to the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated unsecured basis by TD Group and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries named in the Indenture. The guarantees of the 2021 Notes are subordinated to all of the guarantors’ existing and future senior debt, rank equally with all of their existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of their future debt that is expressly subordinated to the guarantees of the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of TD Group’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Special Cash Dividend - On July 3, 2013 the Company’s board of directors authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $22.00 on each outstanding share of common stock and cash dividend equivalent payments under certain of its stock option plans. The special cash dividend amounting to approximately $1,155.8 million in the aggregate and dividend equivalent payments amounting to approximately $95.1 million in the aggregate were paid on or about July 25, 2013.

 

15. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

TransDigm’s 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 and 5 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 are jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, by TD Group and TransDigm Inc.’s 100% owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, as defined in the indentures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read together with TD Group’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. References in this section to “TransDigm,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar references refer to TD Group, TransDigm Inc. and TransDigm Inc.’s subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise indicates. The following discussion may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in this report. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, in particular, the statements about the Company’s plans, strategies and prospects under this section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Many of the factors affecting these forward-looking statements are outside the control of the Company. Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as the Company’s current plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company does not undertake, and specifically declines, any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except as required by applicable law. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include but are not limited to: the sensitivity of our business to the number of flight hours that our customers’ planes spend aloft and our customers’ profitability, both of which are affected by general economic conditions; future terrorist attacks; our reliance on certain customers; the U.S. defense budget and risks associated with being a government supplier; failure to maintain government or industry approvals; failure to complete or successfully integrate acquisitions; our substantial indebtedness; potential environmental liabilities; and other factors. Please refer to the other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the foregoing factors that may affect our business.

Overview

We believe we are a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components for use on nearly all commercial and military aircraft in service today. Our business is well diversified due to the broad range of products we offer to our customers. Some of our more significant product offerings, substantially all of which are ultimately provided to end-users in the aerospace industry, include mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls, ignition systems and engine technology, specialized pumps and valves, power conditioning devices, specialized AC/DC electric motors and generators, NiCad batteries and chargers, engineered latching and locking devices, rods and locking devices, engineered connectors and elastomers, cockpit security components and systems, specialized cockpit displays, aircraft audio systems, specialized lavatory components, seatbelts and safety restraints, engineered interior surfaces and lighting and control technology. Each of these product offerings is composed of many individual products that are typically customized to meet the needs of a particular aircraft platform or customer.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we generated net sales of $488.6 million and net income of $76.7 million. EBITDA As Defined was $231.9 million, or 47.5% of net sales. See below for certain information regarding EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined, including reconciliations of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined to net income and net cash provided by operating activities.

Certain Acquisitions

Whippany Actuation Systems, LLC Acquisition

On June 28, 2013, Whippany Actuation Systems, LLC, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of TransDigm Inc., acquired assets from GE Aviation’s Electromechanical Actuation Division (“Whippany Actuation”) for approximately $147.8 million in cash, subject to adjustments based on the level of working capital as of the closing date of the acquisition. Whippany Actuation manufactures proprietary, highly engineered aerospace electromechanical motion control subsystems for civil and military applications, with product offerings including control electronics, motors, high power mechanical transmissions and actuators.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present below certain financial information based on our EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined. References to “EBITDA” mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and references to “EBITDA As Defined” mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each relevant period, certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined and the reconciliations of net cash provided by operating activities to EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined presented below.

Neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined is a measurement of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We present EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined because we believe they are useful indicators for evaluating operating performance and liquidity.

Our management believes that EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined are useful as indicators of liquidity because securities analysts, investors, rating agencies and others use EBITDA to evaluate a company’s ability to incur and service debt. In addition, EBITDA As Defined is useful to investors because our revolving credit facility under our senior secured credit facility requires compliance, on a pro forma basis, with a financial covenant that measures the ratio of the amount of our secured indebtedness to the amount of our Consolidated EBITDA defined in the same manner as we define EBITDA As Defined herein. This financial covenant is a material term of our senior secured credit facility as the failure to comply with such financial covenant could result in an event of default in respect of the revolving credit facility (and such an event of default could, in turn, result in an event of default under the indentures governing our 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, 5 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 and our 7 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021).

In addition to the above, our management uses EBITDA As Defined to review and assess the performance of the management team in connection with employee incentive programs and to prepare its annual budget and financial projections. Moreover, our management uses EBITDA As Defined to evaluate acquisitions.

Although we use EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

   

neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments, on our indebtedness;

 

   

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

   

the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined;

 

   

neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations; and

 

   

EBITDA As Defined excludes the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA or EBITDA As Defined in isolation and specifically by using other GAAP measures, such as net income, net sales and operating profit, to measure our operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and neither should be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which often requires the judgment of management in the selection and application of certain accounting principles and methods. Management believes that the quality and reasonableness of our most critical policies enable the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. However, investors are cautioned that the sensitivity of financial statements to these methods, assumptions and estimates could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions.

A summary of our significant accounting policies and estimates is included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013.

Organic sales for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 includes a favorable commercial OEM retroactive contract pricing adjustment of approximately $2 million. Organic sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 includes a favorable commercial aftermarket retroactive contract pricing adjustment of approximately $6 million.

Excluding the impact of the retroactive contract pricing adjustments and the AmSafe distribution sales indicated above, commercial OEM sales increased $12.1 million, or an increase of 9.5%, commercial aftermarket sales increased $5.2 million, or an increase of 2.8%, and defense sales increased $9.2 million, or an increase of 8.7%, for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Acquisition sales represent sales of acquired businesses for the period up to one year subsequent to their acquisition dates. The amount of acquisition sales shown in the table above was mainly attributable to the acquisitions of Arkwin and Aerosonic in fiscal 2013 and Aero-Instruments in fiscal 2012.

 

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Cost of sales increased by $11.3 million, or 5.4%, to $219.7 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 compared to $208.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

The increase in the dollar amount of cost of sales during the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2013 was primarily due to increased volume associated with the sales from acquisitions and organic sales growth and higher stock compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision for all options granted prior to October 1, 2011 offset by lower acquisition-related costs as shown in the table above.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by 0.1 percentage points to 55.0% for the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2013 from 54.9% for the thirteen week period ended June 30, 2012. The dollar amount of gross profit increased by $15.7 million, or 6.2%, for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 compared to the comparable quarter last year due to the following items:

 

   

Gross profit on the sales from the acquisitions indicated above (excluding acquisition-related costs) was approximately $6 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2013, which represented gross profit of approximately 41% of the acquisition sales.

 

   

Impact of lower inventory purchase accounting adjustments and acquisition integration costs charged to cost of sales of approximately $5 million.

 

   

Organic sales growth described above, application of our three core value-driven operating strategies (obtaining profitable new business, continually improving our cost structure, and providing highly engineered value-added products to customers), and positive leverage on our fixed overhead costs spread over a higher production volume, partially offset by unfavorable OEM versus aftermarket sales mix, resulted in a net increase in gross profit of approximately $12 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2013.

 

   

The gross profit increase described above was partially offset by higher stock compensation expense of $4 million mainly due to the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision for all options granted prior to October 1, 2011.

 

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $26.7 million to $82.8 million, or 16.9% of sales, for the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2013 from $56.1 million, or 12.2% of sales, for the thirteen week period ended June 30, 2012. Selling and administrative expenses and the related percentage of total sales for the thirteen week periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012 were as follows (amounts in millions):

The increase in the dollar amount of selling and administrative expenses during the quarter ended June 29, 2013 is primarily due to additional stock compensation expense of approximately $21 million recorded in June 2013 related to the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision for all options granted prior to October 1, 2011. In addition, selling and administrative expenses during the quarter ended June 29, 2013 increased due to higher acquisition related expenses of approximately $5 million as shown in the table above.

 

 

Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles decreased to $9.5 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 from $11.3 million for the comparable quarter last year. The net decrease of $1.8 million was primarily due to order backlog relating to prior acquisitions becoming fully amortized partially offset by increased amortization expense related to the additional identifiable intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions during the last twelve months.

 

 

Interest Expense-net. Interest expense-net includes interest on outstanding borrowings, amortization of debt issue costs and revolving credit facility fees offset by interest income. Interest expense-net increased $7.1 million, or 12.8%, to $62.5 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 from $55.4 million for the comparable quarter last year. The net increase in interest expense-net was primarily due to an increase in the weighted average level of outstanding borrowings, which was approximately $4.34 billion for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 and approximately $3.63 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The increase in borrowings was due to the additional $150 million term loan facility under the amendment to our 2011 Credit Facility which occurred in October 2012, additional borrowings of $36.4 million relating to our refinancing of the 2011 Credit Facility in February 2013, and the issuance in October 2012 of our $550 million 5 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was approximately 32.9% for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 compared to 30.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The lower effective tax rate for the thirteen week period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to discrete items related to IRS settlements and adjustments resulting from the filing of the previous year’s federal tax return.

 

 

Net Income. Net income decreased $13.8 million, or 15.2%, to $76.7 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 compared to net income of $90.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the after-tax additional stock compensation expense recorded in June 2013 of $16.5 million, or $0.30 per share, related to the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision for all options granted prior to October 1, 2011.

 

 

Earnings per Share. The basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.71 for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 and $1.68 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Net income for the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2013 of $76.7 million was decreased by an allocation of dividends on participating securities of $38.0 million, or $0.70 per share, resulting in net income available to common shareholders of $38.7 million. The decrease in earnings per share of $1.68 per share to $0.71 per share is a result of the factors referred to above.

Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 includes a favorable commercial aftermarket retroactive contract pricing adjustment of approximately $6 million. Excluding the impact of the retroactive contract pricing adjustment, organic sales increased $6.9 million when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The organic sales increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial aftermarket sales of $2.7 million, or an increase of 3.1%, an increase in defense sales of $7.5 million, or an increase of 9.8%, offset by a decrease in commercial OEM sales of $2.7 million.

Acquisition sales for the Airframe segment totaled $1.9 million, or an increase of 0.8%, resulting from the acquisition of Aerosonic in fiscal 2013. Sales for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 include an OEM retroactive contract pricing adjustment of approximately $2 million.

Excluding the impact of the retroactive contract pricing adjustment and prior year sales related to the AmSafe distribution business, organic sales increased $18.8 million when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The organic sales increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial OEM sales of $14.9 million, or an increase of 16.7%, an increase in commercial aftermarket sales of $2.4 million, or an increase of 2.4%, and an increase in defense sales of $1.6 million, or an increase of 5.6%.

The increase in the dollar amount of cost of sales during the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 was primarily due to increased volume associated with the sales from acquisitions and organic sales growth and higher stock compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision for all options granted prior to October 1, 2011 offset by lower acquisition-related costs as shown in the table above.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 55.4% for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 from 55.7% for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2012. The dollar amount of gross profit increased by $77.9 million, or 11.3%, for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 compared to the comparable period last year due to the following items:

 

   

Gross profit on the sales from the acquisitions indicated above (excluding acquisition-related costs) was approximately $59 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013, which represented gross profit of approximately 47% of the acquisition sales.

 

   

Impact of lower inventory purchase accounting adjustments and acquisition integration costs charged to cost of sales of approximately $11 million.

 

   

Organic sales growth described above, application of our three core value-driven operating strategies (obtaining profitable new business, continually improving our cost structure, and providing highly engineered value-added products to customers), and positive leverage on our fixed overhead costs spread over a higher production volume, partially offset by unfavorable OEM versus aftermarket sales mix, resulted in a net increase in gross profit of approximately $27 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013.

 

   

The gross profit increase described above was partially offset by higher stock compensation expense of $5 million mainly due to the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision for all options granted prior to October 1, 2011 and the impact of the favorable retroactive contract pricing adjustments that were higher in the prior year by approximately $14 million.

The increase in the dollar amount of selling and administrative expenses during the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 is due to additional stock compensation expense of approximately $21 million recorded in June 2013 related to the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision for all options granted prior to October 1, 2011. In addition, selling and administrative expenses during the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 increased due to higher selling and administrative expenses relating to recent acquisitions of approximately $19 million, which was approximately 15% of the acquisition sales.

 

 

Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles decreased to $29.8 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 from $33.1 million for the comparable period last year. The net decrease of $3.4 million was primarily due to order backlog relating to prior acquisitions becoming fully amortized offset by amortization expense related to the additional identifiable intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions during the last twelve months.

 

 

Refinancing Costs. Refinancing costs of $30.3 million were recorded during the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 representing debt issue costs expensed in conjunction with the refinancing of our 2010 Credit Facility and 2011 Credit Facility in February 2013.

 

 

Interest Expense-net. Interest expense-net includes interest on outstanding borrowings, amortization of debt issue costs and revolving credit facility fees offset by interest income. Interest expense-net increased $32.7 million, or 20.9%, to $189.4 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 from $156.8 million for the comparable period last year. The net increase in interest expense-net was primarily due to an increase in the weighted average level of outstanding borrowings, which was approximately $4.29 billion for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 and approximately $3.62 billion for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2012. The increase in borrowings was due to the additional $500 million and $150 million term loan facilities under the amendments to our 2011 Credit Facility which occurred in February 2012 and October 2012, respectively, additional borrowings of $36.4 million relating to our refinancing of the 2011 Credit Facility in February 2013, and the issuance in October 2012 of our $550 million 5 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020. The weighted average interest rate on total outstanding borrowings at June 29, 2013 was 5.5%.

 

 

Income Taxes. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was approximately 32.5% for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 compared to 32.6% for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2012. The Company’s effective tax rate for these periods was less than the Federal statutory tax rate due primarily to the domestic manufacturing deduction.

Net Income. Net income decreased $18.3 million, or 7.7%, to $218.8 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 compared to net income of $237.1 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the after-tax impact of $20.4 million, or $0.38 per share, related to the refinancing costs recorded during the period and the after-tax additional stock compensation expense recorded in June 2013 of $16.5 million, or $0.30 per share, related to the accelerated vesting under the market sweep provision for all options granted prior to October 1, 2011. The decrease noted above was partially offset by an increase in net income from operations.

 

 

Earnings per Share. The basic and diluted earnings per share were $2.62 for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 and $4.34 per share for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2012. Net income for the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2013 of $218.8 million was decreased by an allocation of dividends on participating securities of $76.1 million, or $1.40 per share, resulting in net income available to common shareholders of $142.7 million. Net income for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2012 of $237.1 million was decreased by an allocation of dividends on participating securities of $3.3 million, or $0.06 per share, resulting in net income available to common shareholders of $233.8 million. The decrease in earnings per share of $4.34 per share to $2.62 per share is a result of the factors referred to above.
