LENNOX INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General:
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to we, our, us, LII or the Company
refer to Lennox International Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2009, the accompanying
unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity for the quarter ended March
31, 2009 and the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the quarters
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial
statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to applicable rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures herein are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The operating results for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31 and our quarters are each comprised of 13 weeks. For
convenience, throughout these financial statements, the 13 weeks comprising each three-month period
are denoted by the last day of the respective calendar quarter.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make
estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions
affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and
liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of
accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, legal
contingencies, guarantee obligations, indemnifications, and assumptions used in the calculation of
income taxes, pension and postretirement medical benefits, among others. These estimates and
assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgment.
We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and
other factors, including the current economic environment. We believe these estimates and
assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances and adjust such estimates and assumptions when
facts and circumstances dictate. Declines in the residential and commercial new construction
markets and other consumer spending and volatile equity, foreign currency, and commodity markets
have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future
events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ
significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in
the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain prior period expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
from Selling, General and Administration Expenses to Cost of Goods Sold to conform to the current
periods presentation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These costs include global
sourcing and supplier development, product liability, workers compensation and property leases.

5. Derivatives:
Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivative Instruments
We utilize a hedging program to mitigate the exposure to volatility in the prices of metal
commodities we use in our production processes. The hedging program includes the use of futures
contracts and we enter into these contracts based on our hedging strategy. We use a dollar cost
averaging strategy for our hedge program. As part of this strategy, a higher percentage of
commodity price exposures are hedged near term with lower percentages hedged at future dates. This
strategy provides us with protection against extreme near-term price volatility caused by market
speculators and market forces, such as supply variation, while allowing us to participate in
downward market price movements over time. Upon entering into futures contracts, we lock in prices
and are subject to derivative losses should the metal commodity prices decrease and gains should
the prices increase. During 2008, metal commodity prices decreased significantly in a short time
horizon, which resulted in significant derivative losses. As a result of these losses, we were required to post
collateral of $14.0 million and $37.9 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively. This transaction was treated as a prepaid expense and recorded in Other Assets in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized derivative losses were recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL).
8
We are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at
fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We designate domestic copper futures contracts as
cash flow hedges of forecasted copper purchases. To qualify for hedge accounting, we require that
the futures contracts be effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge
and that it is probable that the underlying transaction will occur. For instruments designated as
cash flow hedges, we must formally document, at inception of the arrangement, the relationship
between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, including the risk management objective, the
hedging strategy for use of the hedged instrument, and how hedge effectiveness is, and will be,
assessed. This documentation includes linking the instruments that are designated as cash flow
hedges to forecasted transactions. These criteria demonstrate that the futures contracts are
expected to be highly effective at offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, both at
inception and on an ongoing basis.
We may also enter into instruments that economically hedge certain of our risks, even though
hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting to these instruments.
The fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the
underlying item(s).
We monitor our derivative positions and credit ratings of our counterparties and do not
anticipate losses due to counterparty non-performance.
Cash Flow Hedges
For futures contracts that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, we assess hedge
effectiveness and measure hedge ineffectiveness at least quarterly throughout the hedge designation
period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the futures contracts is recorded, net of
applicable taxes, in AOCL, a component of Stockholders Equity in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets. When earnings is affected by the variability of the underlying cash flow, the
applicable offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the futures contracts that is deferred in
AOCL is reclassified into earnings and is reported as a component of Cost of Goods Sold in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in
earnings each period and reported in Gains and Other Expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, the net gain
or loss shall remain in AOCL and will be reclassified into earnings when earnings is affected by
the variability of the underlying cash flow. If it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction
will not occur by the end of the originally specified period or within two months thereafter, the
net gain or loss remaining in AOCL will be reclassified to earnings immediately.
We include (gains) losses in AOCL in connection with our cash flow hedges. These (gains)
losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 18 months based on the prices
of the commodities at settlement date. Assuming that commodity prices remain constant, $10.5
million of derivative losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12
months. Derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges and are in place as of
March 31, 2009 are scheduled to mature through August 2010. We recorded the following amounts
related to our cash flow hedges (in millions):

Derivatives not Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
For derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, we follow the same hedging strategy as for
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. We elect not to designate these derivatives as cash
flow hedges at inception of the arrangement. Changes in the fair value of instruments not
designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative
instrument and are reported in Gains and Other Expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

We report cash flows arising from our hedging instruments consistent with the classification
of cash flows from the underlying hedged items. Accordingly, cash flows associated with our
derivative programs are classified as from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.
For more information on the fair value of these derivative instruments, see Note 16.
6. Income Taxes:
As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately $14.6 million in total gross unrecognized tax
benefits. Of this amount, $6.6 million (net of federal benefit on state issues), if recognized,
would be recorded through the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Also included in the balance of
unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2009 are liabilities of $6.4 million that, if recognized,
would be recorded as an adjustment to stockholders equity. As of March 31, 2009, we had
recognized $0.9 million (net of federal tax benefits) in interest and penalties in income tax
expense in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -
an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN No. 48).
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its examination of our consolidated tax
returns for the years 2004 2005 and issued a Revenue Agents Report (RAR) on July 31, 2008.
The IRS has proposed certain significant adjustments to our insurance deductions and research tax
credits. We disagree with the RAR and have requested a review by the administrative appeals
division of the IRS.
We are subject to examination by numerous taxing authorities in jurisdictions such as
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, and the United States. We are generally no longer subject to
U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years
before 2002.
Since January 1, 2009, Wisconsin and California have enacted legislation effective for tax
years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, including requirements for combined reporting and
changes to apportionment methods. We believe any adjustments will be immaterial.
7. Commitments and Contingencies:
We are subject to contingencies that arise in the normal course of business, including product
warranties and other product related contingencies, pending litigation, environmental matters and
other guarantees or claims.
We use a combination of third-party insurance and self-insurance plans (large deductible or
captive) to provide protection against claims relating to contingencies such as workers
compensation, general liability, product liability, property damage, aviation liability, directors
and officers liability, auto liability, physical damage and other exposures. Self-insurance
expense and liabilities are actuarially determined based on our historical claims
information, as well as industry factors and trends and because we have a captive insurance
company, we are required to maintain specified levels of liquid assets from which we must pay
claims. The majority of our self-insured risks (excluding auto liability and physical damage) will
be paid over an extended period of time. There have been no material changes since our latest
fiscal year-end. We also maintain third-party insurance coverage for risks not retained within our
large deductible or captive insurance plans.

We incur the risk of liability claims for the installation and service of heating and air
conditioning products and we maintain liabilities for those claims that we self-insure. We are
involved in various claims and lawsuits related to our products. Our product liability insurance
policies have limits that, if exceeded, may result in substantial costs that could have an adverse
effect on our results of operations. In addition, warranty claims are not covered by our product
liability insurance and certain product liability claims may also not be covered by our product
liability insurance. There have been no material changes in the circumstances since our latest
fiscal year-end.
We also may incur costs related to our products that may not be covered under our warranties
and are not covered by insurance, and we may, from time to time, repair or replace installed
products experiencing quality issues in order to satisfy our customers and to protect our brand.
These product quality issues may be caused by vendor-supplied components that fail to meet required
specifications. We have identified a product quality issue in a heating and cooling product line
produced during a limited time period that we believe results from a vendor-supplied component that
failed to meet required specifications. We are working to determine the scope and nature of the
issue. Any liability resulting from the product quality issue and any related recovery from the
vendor cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
We estimate the costs to settle pending litigation based on experience involving similar
claims and specific facts known. We do not believe that any current or pending or threatened
litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Litigation and
arbitration, however, involve uncertainties and it is possible that the eventual outcome of
litigation could adversely affect our results of operations for a particular period.
Applicable environmental laws can potentially impose obligations to remediate hazardous
substances at our properties, at properties formerly owned or operated by us and at facilities to
which we have sent or send waste for treatment or disposal. We are aware of contamination at some
facilities; however, we do not presently believe that any future remediation costs at such
facilities will be material to our results of operations. There have been no material changes to
the reserve balances since our latest fiscal year-end.
On June 22, 2006, we entered into an agreement with a financial institution to lease our
corporate headquarters in Richardson, Texas for a term of seven years (the Lake Park Lease). The
leased property consists of an office building of approximately 192,000 square feet, land and
related improvements. Our obligations under the Lake Park Lease are secured by a pledge of our
interest in the leased property and are also guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. The
Lake Park Lease, as amended, contains restrictive covenants that are consistent with those of our
domestic revolving credit facility. We are in compliance with these financial covenants as of
March 31, 2009.

Domestic promissory notes bear interest at 8.00% and mature in 2010 |
As of March 31, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $343.5 million under the $650 million
domestic revolving credit facility and $115.6 million was committed to standby letters of credit.
All of the remaining $190.9 million was available for future borrowings after consideration of
covenant limitations. The facility matures in October 2012.
The domestic revolving credit facility includes a subfacility for swingline loans of up to $50
million and provides for the issuance of letters of credit for the full amount of the credit
facility. Our weighted average borrowing rate on the facility was 1.10% and 2.26% as of March 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The Third Amendment and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the Credit Agreement)
contains financial covenants relating to leverage and interest coverage. Other covenants contained
in the Credit Agreement restrict, among other things, mergers, asset dispositions, guarantees,
debt, liens, acquisitions, investments, affiliate transactions and our ability to make restricted
payments. The financial covenants require us to maintain a Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted
EBITDA Ratio of no more than 3.50 to 1.0 and a Cash Flow (defined as EBITDA minus capital
expenditures) to Net Interest Expense ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and
is continuing, lenders with a majority of the aggregate commitments may require the administrative
agent to terminate our right to borrow under the Credit Agreement and accelerate amounts due under
the Credit Agreement, except for a bankruptcy event of default, in which case, such amounts will
automatically become due and payable and the lenders commitments will automatically terminate.
In addition to the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement outlined above, our
domestic promissory notes contain certain financial covenant restrictions. As of March 31, 2009,
we were in compliance with all covenant requirements. Our revolving credit facility and promissory
notes are guaranteed by our material subsidiaries.
We have additional borrowing capacity through several foreign facilities governed by
agreements between us and a syndicate of banks, used primarily to finance seasonal borrowing needs
of our foreign subsidiaries. Available capacity at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 on foreign
facilities were $20.0 million and $26.0 million, respectively.

During 2008 we expanded our Tifton, Georgia manufacturing facility using the proceeds from
Industrial Development Bonds (IDBs). We entered into a lease agreement with the owner of the
property and the issuer of the IDBs, and through our lease payments fund the interest payments to
investors in the IDBs. We also guaranteed the repayment of the IDBs and entered into letters of
credit totaling $14.5 million to fund a potential repurchase of the IDBs in the event that
investors exercised their right to tender the IDBs to the Trustee. At March 31, 2009 and December
31, 2008 we recorded both a capital lease asset and a corresponding long-term obligation of $14.4
million and $15.3 million, respectively, related to these transactions.
Credit Rating
At March 31, 2009, our senior credit rating was Ba1, with a stable outlook, by Moodys and
BB+, with a stable outlook, by Standard & Poors Rating Group (S&P).
Asset Securitization
Under a revolving period asset securitization arrangement (ASA), we are eligible to sell
beneficial interests in a portion of our trade accounts receivable to participating financial
institutions for cash. The arrangement expires November 25, 2009, and is subject to renewal. Our
continued involvement in the transferred assets is limited to servicing, which includes collection
and administration of the transferred beneficial interests. The accounts receivable sold under the
ASA are high quality domestic customer accounts that have not aged significantly and the program
takes into account an allowance for uncollectable accounts. The receivables represented by the
retained interest that we service are exposed to the risk of loss for any uncollectable amounts in
the pool of receivables sold under the ASA. The fair values assigned to the retained and
transferred interests are based on the sold accounts receivable carrying value given the short term
to maturity and low credit risk.
The ASA contains certain restrictive covenants relating to the quality of our accounts
receivable and cross-default provisions with our Credit Agreement. The administrative agent under
the ASA is also a participant in our Credit Agreement. The participating financial institution has
an investment grade credit rating. We continue to evaluate its credit rating and have no reason to
believe it will not perform under the ASA. As of March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all
covenant requirements.
The ASA provides for a maximum securitization amount of $125.0 million or 100% of the net pool
balance as defined by the ASA. However, eligibility for securitization is limited based on the
amount and quality of the accounts receivable and is calculated monthly. The beneficial interest
sold cannot exceed the maximum amount even if our qualifying accounts receivable is greater than
the maximum amount at any point in time. The eligible amounts available were as follows (in
millions):

Under the ASA, we pay certain discount fees to use the program and have the facility available
to us. These fees relate to both the used and unused portions of the securitization. The used fee
is based on the beneficial interest sold and calculated on the average floating commercial paper
rate determined by the purchaser of the beneficial interest, plus a program fee of 0.75%. The rate
as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 0.66% and 2.14%, respectively. The unused fee is
based on 102% of the maximum available amount less the beneficial interest sold and calculated at
0.3% fixed rate throughout the term of the agreement. We recorded these fees in Gains and Other
Expenses, net and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The amounts recorded were as follows (in millions):

11. Stock-Based Compensation:
Our Amended and Restated 1998 Incentive Plan provides for various long-term incentive awards,
which include stock options, performance share units, restricted stock units and stock appreciation
rights.
Compensation expense of $2.1 million and $3.2 million was recognized for the first quarters of
2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The decrease in stock-based compensation
expense was primarily due to a decrease in the estimated pay-out percentage on outstanding
performance share units in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Cash
flows from the tax (expense) benefits related to share-based payments of $(0.3) million and $10.8
million were included in cash flows from financing activities for the first quarters of 2009 and
2008, respectively.
12. Restructuring Charges:
As part of our strategic priorities of manufacturing and sourcing excellence and expense
reduction, we have initiated various manufacturing rationalization actions designed to lower our
cost structure. We also have begun to reorganize our North American distribution network in order
to better serve our customers needs by deploying parts and equipment inventory closer to them. We
have also initiated a number of activities that rationalize and reorganize various support and
administrative functions to reduce ongoing selling and administrative expenses.

The restructuring charges recorded during the first quarter of 2008 related to the closure and
consolidation of our Refrigeration manufacturing, support and warehouse functions located in
Danville, Illinois, Tifton, Georgia and Stone Mountain, Georgia operations and to the closure of
certain Residential Heating & Cooling operations in Lynwood, California and the consolidation of
factory-built fireplace manufacturing operations into our facility in Union City, Tennessee.

Restructuring expense for manufacturing rationalization activities related to the following:
|
|
|
In the first quarter of 2009, we began the consolidation of Residential Heating &
Cooling manufacturing operations from Blackville, South Carolina into our operations in
Orangeburg, South Carolina and Saltillo, Mexico. The consolidation is expected to be
completed within two years. Total restructuring charges recorded related to this action
in the first quarter of 2009 were $5.3 million, primarily composed of severance,
accelerated depreciation and previously received economic development grants that will
be returned as a result of the Blackville plant closure. |
|
|
|
|
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we announced plans to close our Refrigeration
operations in Danville, Illinois and consolidate Danville manufacturing, support and
warehouse functions into our Tifton, Georgia and Stone Mountain, Georgia operations.
The operations at Danville have ceased as of the end of the first quarter of 2009 and
the transition is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2009. Total
restructuring charges recorded in the first quarter of 2009 related to this action were
$1.9 million primarily composed of facility clean-up costs, equipment moving costs and
manufacturing inefficiencies incurred prior to the plant closure. |
|
|
|
|
In the second quarter of 2008, we announced the transition of production of certain
Residential Heating & Cooling products from our Marshalltown, Iowa manufacturing
facility to our
manufacturing operations in Saltillo, Mexico. The transition is expected to be completed
in the second quarter of 2009. Total restructuring charges recorded in first quarter of
2009 related to this action were $0.4 million. |
16
Reorganization of Distribution Network
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we commenced the transition of activities currently performed
at our North American Parts Center in Des Moines, Iowa to other locations, including our North
American Distribution Center in Marshalltown, Iowa. We incurred $0.1 million of restructuring
charges, which was composed of severance, during the first quarter of 2009 related to this
transition. To date, we have incurred $3.0 million, which was composed primarily of severance, and
we expect the total cost to be $4.8 million related to this restructuring activity. The total
cost of this restructuring activity will be composed of severance of $3.5 million, asset write-offs
and accelerated depreciation of $0.1 million, equipment moving costs of $0.4 million and other
costs of $0.8 million. The transition is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2010.

13. Discontinued Operations:
In the fourth quarter of 2008, our management approved a plan to discontinue operations of
seven service centers within our Service Experts business segment. We decided to sell these seven
centers due to current economic conditions and a history of operating losses. The related assets
and liabilities for these service centers have been classified as current assets and liabilities in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. By the end of the first quarter of 2009, we had sold
all seven service centers.
The operating results of these centers have been classified as Discontinued Operations in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and prior period results have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.

14. (Loss) Earnings Per Share:
Due to our first quarter 2009 net loss, both basic and diluted net loss per share are computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period,
because the inclusion of dilutive securities would reduce the reported net loss per share. Basic
earnings per share for 2008 are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share for 2008 are computed by
dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares and the number of
equivalent shares assumed outstanding, if dilutive, under our stock-based compensation plans. As
of March 31, 2009, we had 84,586,990 shares issued of which 29,210,131 were held as treasury shares
and were therefore excluded from the weighted-average shares outstanding.
The computations of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share for (Loss) Income from
Continuing Operations were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Because we are in a loss postion in the first quarter of 2009, potentially dilutive
securities, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and
performance share units totaling 1,424,279 shares
were outstanding, but not included in the 2009 computation of the diluted loss per share
because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive impact.
18
Additionally, stock appreciation rights were outstanding, but not included in the diluted
(loss) earnings per share calculation because the assumed exercise of such rights would have been
anti-dilutive. The details are as follows:

Transactions between segments, such as products sold to Service Experts by the Residential
Heating & Cooling segment, are recorded on an arms-length basis using the market price for these
products. The eliminations of these intercompany sales and any associated profit are noted in the
reconciliation of segment results to the income from continuing operations before income taxes
below.
We use segment profit or loss as the primary measure of profitability to evaluate operating
performance and to allocate capital resources. We define segment profit or loss as a segments
income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes included in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Our corporate costs include those costs related to corporate functions such as legal, internal
audit, treasury, human resources, tax compliance and senior executive staff. Corporate costs also
include the long-term share-based incentive awards provided to employees throughout LII. We
recorded these share-based awards as Corporate costs as they are determined at the discretion of
the Board of Directors and based on the historical practice of doing so for internal reporting
purposes.

16. Fair Value Measurements:
Fair Value Hierarchy
The three-level fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements defined by SFAS
No. 157 is as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 -
|
|
Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
Level 2 -
|
|
Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in
markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value
drivers are observable in active markets at the measurement date and for the anticipated term of the instrument. |
|
|
|
Level 3 -
|
|
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or
significant value drivers are unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains 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, that are based on information currently available to management as well as
managements assumptions and beliefs. All statements, other than statements of historical fact,
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to
statements identified by the words may, will, should, plan, predict, anticipate,
believe, intend, estimate and expect and similar expressions. Such statements reflect our
current views with respect to future events, based on what we believe are reasonable assumptions;
however, such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. In addition to the
specific uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risk factors
set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008, and those set forth in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report, if any,
may affect our performance and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or

Overview
We operate in four reportable business segments of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning
and refrigeration, (HVACR) industry. Our reportable segments are Residential Heating & Cooling,
Commercial Heating & Cooling, Service Experts and Refrigeration. For more detailed information
regarding our reportable segments, see Note 15 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Our products and services are sold through a combination of distributors, independent and
company-owned dealer service centers, other installing contractors, wholesalers, manufacturers
representatives, original equipment manufacturers and to national accounts. The demand for our
products and services is seasonal and dependent on the weather. Warmer than normal summer
temperatures generate strong demand for replacement air conditioning and refrigeration products and
services and colder than normal winter temperatures have the same effect on heating products and
services. Conversely, cooler than normal summers and warmer than normal winters depress HVACR
sales and services. In addition to weather, demand for our products and services is influenced by
national and regional economic and demographic factors, such as interest rates, the availability of
financing, regional population and employment trends, new construction, general economic conditions
and consumer spending habits and confidence.
The principal elements of cost of goods sold in our manufacturing operations are components,
raw materials, factory overhead, labor and estimated costs of warranty expense. In our Service
Experts segment, the principal components of cost of goods sold are equipment, parts and supplies
and labor. The principal raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are steel, copper and
aluminum. In recent years, a trend toward higher prices for these commodities and related
components continues to present a challenge to us and the HVACR industry in general. We partially
mitigate the impact of higher commodity prices through a combination of price increases, commodity
contracts, improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives. We also partially
mitigate volatility in the prices of these commodities by entering into futures contracts and fixed
forward contracts.
We estimate approximately 25% of the sales of our Residential Heating & Cooling segment is for
new construction, with the balance attributable to replacement and repair. With the current
downturn in residential and commercial new construction activity and current overall economic
conditions, we are seeing a decline in the demand for the products and services we sell into these
markets.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31 and our interim fiscal quarters are each comprised of 13
weeks. For convenience, throughout this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and
Results of Operations, the 13-week periods comprising each fiscal quarter are denoted by the
last day of the calendar quarter.
22
Impact of Current Economic Environment on Our Business
The first quarter of each fiscal year is our most seasonally challenging quarter. During the
first quarter of 2009, as we had for all of 2008, we faced unprecedented market challenges. Tight
credit markets contributed to lower demand for housing that has resulted in significantly fewer
housing starts in residential new construction as well as lower existing home sales. In addition
to Residential Heating & Cooling, the global economic downturn also negatively impacted our
Commercial Heating & Cooling, Refrigeration, and Service Experts businesses. We continued to
execute on our strategic priorities to win new business, capture opportunities in the replacement
market, and lower our cost structure for the current market conditions.
We are continuing to adjust to lower demand levels in the marketplace by accelerated efforts
to increase our operational efficiency and reduce costs while we continue to focus on providing our
customers a high level of value and service. During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded
restructuring charges of $11.2 million. In addition to the savings related to restructuring
activities, we believe that we will realize additional savings from commodity prices and from our
global sourcing initiatives in the remainder of 2009. We are also executing on additional
operating efficiency and cost reduction initiatives that are designed to substantially reduce our
selling, general and administrative expenses through salaried headcount reduction and other
measures. We believe that when market conditions recover, we will be well-positioned with
significant upside leverage in our business model.
Company Highlights
|
|
|
Net sales for the first quarter of 2009 were $585.4 million, $179.1 million or 23.4%
below the first quarter of 2008. Lower volumes across all business segments negatively
impacted revenues on a year-over-year basis. Foreign currency translation rates had an
unfavorable impact on net sales in the first quarter of 2009. |
|
|
|
|
Operational loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $27.2 million compared to
operational income of $13.4 million for the first quarter of 2008. The decline in
operational income was primarily due to lower sales volumes partially offset by savings
from cost reduction and cost control initiatives. |
|
|
|
|
Net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $18.1 million compared to net income of $6.3
million in the prior year. Diluted loss per share was $0.33 per share in 2009 compared to
diluted earnings of $0.10 per share in the first quarter of 2008. |
|
|
|
|
We generated $16.3 million of cash from operating activities for the first quarter of
2009, compared to cash used in operating activities of $32.6 million during the same
period in 2008 as we continued to focus on working capital improvements. Cash flow from
operating activities increased primarily due to favorable working capital changes in
inventory and accounts receivable and the reduction of collateral posted for our commodity
hedges. These increases in cash flow were partially offset by the net loss posted for the
quarter as compared to net income in 2008. |

First Quarter of 2009 Compared to First Quarter of 2008 Consolidated Results
Net Sales
Net sales decreased $179.1 million, or 23.4%, for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the
same period in 2008. The decrease in net sales was due to a decrease in sales volumes across all
segments, but was primarily caused by lower volumes related to U.S. residential and commercial new
construction. We experienced a decrease in volumes in all of our business segments as
deteriorating economic conditions in the U.S. residential market spread to the commercial market
and to other areas of the globe. The declines in unit volumes were partially offset by moderate
pricing gains and a slight favorable change in sales mix. Changes in foreign currency exchange
rates adversely impacted revenues by $38.4 million.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margin declined to 23.7% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 25.3% for the
same period in 2008. Gross profit margins were negatively impacted by the lower sales volumes and
the related under-absorbed fixed manufacturing costs as well as higher commodity costs. The changes
in foreign currency exchange rates also had a negative impact on our gross margins. Higher average
selling prices and lower fuel costs partially offset these negative impacts. Positive sales mix
also contributed to the offset as a greater portion of our Residential Heating & Cooling and
Commercial Heating & Cooling customers purchased our premium product offerings.
While we realized savings from previously announced and implemented restructuring activities
and cost reduction programs, the full effect on gross margins was mitigated by manufacturing
inefficiencies related to lower volumes.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses for the first quarter decreased by $27.2 million in 2009 compared to the same
period in 2008. As a percentage of total net sales, SG&A expenses were 26.7% for the first quarter
of 2009 and 24.0% for the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to the decline in sales volumes. The
decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to cost control measures, lower sales volumes and the
impact of foreign exchange rates. Volume driven decreases in expenses included lower sales
commissions and variable advertising expenses while cost controls lowered advertising and
promotion. Selling and administrative expenses decreased generally due to headcount reductions and
other cost control measures to reduce or eliminate discretionary spending. Research and
development expenses remained constant as the Company continued to invest in its future product
offerings.
Gains and Other Expenses, Net
Gains and other expenses, net for the first quarters of 2009 and 2008 included the following

The changes in gains and losses on futures contracts were primarily due to decreases in
commodity prices relative to the futures contract prices during 2009 as compared to 2008. For more
information, see Note 5 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Restructuring Charges
As part of our strategic priorities of manufacturing and sourcing excellence, distribution
excellence and expense reduction, we have initiated actions designed to improve the delivery of our
products to customers and also to lower our cost structure. We have initiated one new significant
manufacturing rationalization action in 2009 and also have begun to reorganize our sales support
and administrative functions to be more effective and efficient in the markets we serve. We
continue to focus on restructuring activities to position our company for profitable growth as the
economy improves.
In the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, we incurred restructuring charges consisting of:

For further detail regarding restructuring reserves and individual restructuring actions, see
Note 12 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Manufacturing Rationalizations
The restructuring charges incurred in the first quarter of 2009 primarily related to the
consolidation of Residential Heating & Cooling manufacturing operations from Blackville, South
Carolina into our operations in Orangeburg, South Carolina and Saltillo, Mexico. The consolidation
is expected to be completed within two years. These restructuring charges related to manufacturing
rationalizations included $3.0 million of severance and related charges, $1.4 million of asset
write-offs and accelerated depreciation, $0.8 million of equipment move charges and $2.4 million of
other costs. The other costs were primarily related to the return of previously received
government economic development credits, facilities clean-up and demolition costs, and
manufacturing overhead costs in significantly under-utilized facilities as production activities
wind down and transition to the new facility.
In the future, we expect to incur additional charges of $9.2 million related to the
manufacturing rationalization projects that were in process during the first quarter of 2009. Of
the additional charges expected, $5.0 million is accelerated depreciation or asset impairment
charges and, therefore, non-cash. We also expect to incur $2.8 million in equipment move costs.
Reorganization of North American Distribution Network
In the first quarter of 2009, we incurred $0.1 million of restructuring charges related to the
transition of activities currently performed at our North American Parts Center in Des Moines, Iowa
to other locations, including our North American Distribution Center in Marshalltown, Iowa.
In the future, we expect to incur additional charges of $1.8 million related to this project
consisting of $0.7 million in severance, $0.4 million in equipment move costs, $0.1 million in
accelerated depreciation
and $0.6 million of other costs. The current restructuring project is expected to be
completed within two years. We anticipate that we will initiate additional restructuring
activities in this area as we seek to further enhance our North American distribution network.
Reorganizations of Corporate and Business Unit Selling and Administrative Functions
The restructuring charges incurred in first quarter 2009 related to the reorganization of
selling and administrative functions included $2.8 million of severance and related charges, $0.3
million of lease termination costs, $0.1 million of asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation
and $0.3 million of other costs.
25
To date and in total, we have incurred $8.8 million of restructuring charges related to
reorganizations of selling and administrative functions for projects that were in process during
the first quarter of 2009. Of that amount, $6.5 million was severance costs, $0.9 million was
asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation, $0.5 was million lease termination costs, and the
remainder of $0.9 million was other charges.
In the future, we expect to incur additional charges of $2.3 million related to these
projects, of which $1.8 million is expected to be severance. All of these future charges will
require the use of cash.
Cash Used in Restructuring Activities, Future Charges and Expense Savings
Total cash paid for restructuring activities during the first quarter 2009 was $5.6 million,
an increase over the 2008 amount of $3.9 million. A significant portion of this amount related to
increased restructuring activities and was primarily composed of severance payments related to our
various restructuring projects. We use operating cash as the funding source for restructuring
activities.
We anticipate incurring approximately $13.2 million of future restructuring charges relating
to projects that were in process during the first quarter of 2009. Of that amount, about $5.2
million are anticipated to be non-cash charges for accelerated depreciation and asset impairments.
Future cash outlays for restructuring activities that are currently in progress are estimated to be
$21.3 million. These restructuring charges and cash outlays are expected to be incurred generally
within the next two years.
We expect to realize $25.5 million of incremental expense savings in 2009.
Income from Equity Method Investments
Investments where we do not exercise control but have significant influence are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting. Income from equity method investments decreased to $1.3
million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $3.1 million during the same period in 2008
primarily due to the lowered performance of our U.S. joint venture in compressor manufacturing due
to a reduction in our volume of purchases from such joint venture.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, decreased to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $2.7
million during the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily
attributable to a decrease in the average interest rate paid on variable rate debt. Partially
offsetting this decrease was an increase in the average amounts borrowed in the first quarter of
2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.
Income Taxes
The benefit from income taxes was $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to a
provision for income taxes of $4.0 million during the same period in 2008. The effective tax rate
was 37.0% for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 37.4% for the same period in 2008. Our
effective rates differ from the statutory federal rate of 35% for certain items, such as state and
local taxes, non-deductible expenses, foreign operating losses for which no tax benefits have been
recognized and foreign taxes at rates other than 35%.

The decrease in net sales was due to continuing weakness in the U.S. residential new
construction market and softer replacement business as consumers remain cautious in the current
economic environment. We believe that unit volumes were generally lower across the industry. An
additional impact on volume for our value product offerings is that a higher number of consumers in
difficult market conditions are electing to repair versus replace their equipment. As a result,
unit volumes were down in 2009 as compared to 2008. The decrease related to sales volumes was
partially offset by favorable product mix shift towards our premium products and pricing gains
related to increases that were enacted in the later quarters of 2008. The unfavorable impact of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased net sales by $6.4 million.
Segment profit decreased primarily due to the unfavorable impact of lower unit volumes and the
related under-absorbed fixed manufacturing costs and increased commodity costs. These unfavorable
impacts to segment profit were partially offset by pricing gains, favorable product mix, and lower
expenses due to lower sales volumes and cost controls.
While the Residential Heating & Cooling segment realized savings from previously announced and
implemented restructurings and cost reduction programs, the full effect on gross margins was
mitigated by some manufacturing inefficiencies related to those activities and the lower unit
volumes driven by market conditions.

Our domestic operations experienced lower sales volumes on a year-over-year basis primarily
due to the continued weakness of the overall commercial unitary market as a result of tight
commercial lending and continued deferrals of commercial construction projects. Strong volumes in
our retail national account business have partially offset the industry declines. The reduction in
volumes was also partially offset by pricing gains from increases that were enacted during the
later quarters of 2008. Sales mix was favorable due to the relatively high levels of premium
product introduced during the early part of 2008. The unfavorable impact of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates was $7.6 million.
The reduced segment profit was due primarily to lower sales volumes, increased commodity costs
and the unfavorable impact of lower unit volumes and the related under-absorbed fixed manufacturing
costs. Favorable sales mix, pricing gains and lower advertising, sales commissions and selling
expenses from cost control programs partially offset the effects of lower sales volumes.

The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the decline in the residential service and
replacement and residential new construction markets resulting from the weakness of the U.S.
economy. The sales decrease was primarily due to volume as both price and sales mix were
relatively flat. The unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased
net sales by $5.5 million.
27
The increase in segment loss was primarily due to the decrease in sales volume. The lower
sales volumes were partially offset by lower salary and personnel costs due to current and previous
headcount reductions and restructuring activities, lower commissions due to lower sales volumes,
lower advertising expenditures and cost controls and programs that resulted in lower
personnel-related and incentive compensation expenses.
Near the end of 2008, we announced plans to exit seven unprofitable service centers. As a
result, we have reclassified income related these service centers in the first quarter 2009 of $0.2
million to discontinued operations. Included in this income were gains realized upon sale of the
services centers of $1.0 million. This compares with losses from these discontinued operations
incurred in the first quarter of 2008 of $0.7 million. We sold all of these service centers prior
to the end of the first quarter of 2009.

Net sales decreased due to lower sales volumes and the unfavorable impact of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates of $19.9 million. Pricing gains partially offset these negative
impacts.
The decrease in segment profit was primarily due to lower sales volumes, manufacturing
inefficiencies that resulted primarily from manufacturing rationalization activities at affected
locations, lower production volumes and increased commodity costs. Segment profit was also
negatively impacted by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates by $0.5 million. These
unfavorable impacts to segment profit were partially offset by the pricing gains noted above and
lower administrative expenses due to cost controls and programs that resulted in lower
personnel-related and incentive compensation expenses and lower operating expenses.
While the Refrigeration segment realized savings from previously announced and implemented
restructurings and cost reduction programs, the full effect on our gross margins was not apparent
due to the impact of lower sales volumes and to manufacturing inefficiencies that were incurred
related to restructuring activities.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other expenses increased to $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 from
$12.2 million during the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily driven by reduced income
from equity method investments, an increase in allocated data processing costs and an increase in
employee benefits. Offsetting these increases were decreases in stock-based and incentive
compensation expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements are generally met through internally
generated funds, bank lines of credit and a revolving period asset securitization arrangement.
Working capital needs are generally greater in the first and second quarters due to the seasonal
nature of our business cycle.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The cash generation experienced during the first quarter of 2009 in operating activities was
primarily due to working capital improvements. The cash flow impact of changes in accounts
receivable improved by $21.9 million from a year ago as we continue to aggressively pursue cash
collections from customers, and from a lower accounts receivable base due to lower revenues. The
cash flow impact from changes in inventory improved $22.4 million due to the continued focus on our
investment in inventory and also due to lower production volumes. These favorable operating cash
flow impacts were partially offset by changes in accounts payable due to lower inventory purchases
than a year ago.
There were several other events that significantly impacted our cash flows from operations
during the first quarter of 2009. During the first quarter of 2009, we received cash of $23.9
million of collateral previously posted related to commodity hedge derivative losses that we
incurred in the last half of 2008. No similar transaction occurred in the prior year period. We
also increased the pace of our restructuring activities and the cash used related to these
activities increased by $1.7 million.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2009 were $9.9 million, which was relatively flat
as compared with capital expenditures of $9.8 million incurred in the first quarter of 2008.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2009 were principally driven by:
|
|
|
Purchases of production equipment in our Residential Heating & Cooling and
Commercial Heating & Cooling segments, |
|
|
|
|
Purchases of systems and software to support our regional distribution center
initiative as well as the overall enterprise, |
|
|
|
|
Expenditures for plant consolidations, and |
|
|
|
|
Spending for our Saltillo, Mexico facility. |
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2009 included net proceeds of
$1.1 million for net short-term investments compared to net purchases of $6.8 million in the same
period of 2008.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Due to our strong working capital position, we repaid on a net basis, $15.3 million of debt
during the first quarter of 2009. This compares to a net borrowing in the first quarter of 2008 of
$193.5 million which was primarily used to repurchase $183.1 million of our common stock. Also,
both the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits declined, in
total $22.8 million due to lower volumes of stock option exercises and as the result of lower
common stock price. We paid a total of $7.7 million in dividends on our common stock in the first
quarter of 2009 as compared to $8.7 million in the same period of 2008. The primary reason for the
decrease in cash dividends paid is the reduction in outstanding shares due to the repurchase of
common stock under our share repurchase program.
Debt Position and Financial Leverage
Our debt-to-total-capital ratio remained constant at 48% as of both March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Domestic promissory notes as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 bear interest at
8.00% and mature in 2010. |
As of March 31, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $343.5 million under the $650.0 million
domestic revolving credit facility and $115.6 million was committed to standby letters of credit.
All of the remaining $190.9 million was available for future borrowings after consideration of
covenant limitations. The facility matures in October 2012.
The domestic revolving credit facility includes a subfacility for swingline loans of up to $50
million and provides for the issuance of letters of credit for the full amount of the credit
facility. Our weighted average borrowing rate on the facility was 1.10% and 2.26% as of March 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The Third Amendment and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the Credit Agreement)
contains financial covenants relating to leverage and interest coverage. Other covenants contained
in the Credit Agreement restrict, among other things, mergers, asset dispositions, guarantees,
debt, liens, acquisitions, investments, affiliate transactions and our ability to make restricted
payments. The financial covenants require us to maintain a Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted
EBITDA Ratio of no more than 3.50 to 1.0 and a Cash Flow (defined as EBITDA minus capital
expenditures) to Net Interest Expense ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and
is continuing, lenders with a majority of the aggregate commitments may require the administrative
agent to terminate our right to borrow under the Credit Agreement and accelerate amounts due under
the Credit Agreement (except for a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will
automatically become due and payable and the lenders commitments will automatically terminate).
In addition to the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement outlined above, our
domestic promissory notes contain certain financial covenant restrictions. As of March 31, 2009,
we were in compliance with all covenant requirements. Our revolving credit facility and promissory
notes are guaranteed by our material subsidiaries.
We have additional borrowing capacity through several foreign facilities governed by
agreements between us and a syndicate of banks, used primarily to finance seasonal borrowing needs
of our foreign subsidiaries. Available capacity at March 31, 2009 on foreign facilities was $20.0
million.
30
Under a revolving period asset securitization arrangement (ASA), we are eligible to transfer
beneficial interests in a portion of our trade accounts receivable to third parties in exchange for
cash. Our continued involvement in the transferred assets is limited to servicing. These
transfers are accounted for as sales rather than secured borrowings. The fair values assigned to
the retained and transferred interests are based primarily on the receivables carrying value given
the short term to maturity and low credit risk. The ASA provides for a maximum securitization
amount of $125 million or 100% of the net pool balance as defined by the ASA. However, eligibility
for securitization is limited based on the amount and quality of the accounts receivable and is
calculated monthly. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the amount eligible for securitization
declined primarily due to lower sales and increased cash collections. The credit quality of those
accounts receivable was not materially different from that at December 31, 2008. The beneficial
interest sold cannot exceed the maximum amount even if our qualifying accounts receivable is
greater than
the maximum amount at any point in time. The eligible amounts available were as follows (in
millions):

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $16.0 million and $7.1 million of cash and cash
equivalents were restricted primarily due to routine lockbox collections and letters of credit
issued with respect to the operations of our captive insurance subsidiary, which expire on December
31, 2009, and will be renewed upon expiration. These letters of credit can be transferred to our
revolving lines of credit as needed.
We periodically review our capital structure, including our primary bank facility, to ensure
that it has adequate liquidity. We believe that cash flows from operations, as well as available
borrowings under our revolving credit facility and other existing sources of funding, will be
sufficient to fund our operations, invest in our business, and
provide returns to our shareholders for the foreseeable future.
As a result of the declines in the securities markets as a whole, which primarily occurred in
2008, the fair value of pension plan assets has declined. Continued volatility in the fair value
of our pension plan assets could impact the timing and amount of future pension contributions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In addition to the revolving and term loans described above, we utilize the following
financing arrangements in the course of funding our operations:
|
|
|
Transfers of accounts receivable under the ASA are accounted for as sales rather
than secured borrowings and are reported as a reduction of Accounts and Notes
Receivable, Net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, we sold $30.0 million in beneficial interest. |
|
|
|
|
We also lease real estate and machinery and equipment pursuant to leases that, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not capitalized on the
balance sheet, including high-turnover equipment such as autos and service vehicles
and short-lived equipment such as personal computers. |
Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
We are subject to contingencies that arise in the normal course of business, including product
warranties and other product related contingencies, pending litigation, environmental matters and
other guarantees or claims.
We use a combination of third-party insurance and self-insurance plans (large deductible or
captive) to provide protection against claims relating to contingencies such as workers
compensation, general liability, product liability, property damage, aviation liability, directors
and officers liability, auto liability, physical damage and other exposures. Self-insurance
expense and liabilities are actuarially determined based on our historical claims information, as
well as industry factors and trends and because we have a captive insurance company, we are
required to maintain specified levels of liquid assets from which we must pay claims. The majority
of our self-insured risks (excluding auto liability and physical damage) will be paid over an
extended period of time. There have been no material changes since our latest fiscal year-end. We
also maintain third-party insurance coverage for risks not retained within our large deductible or
captive insurance plans.
The estimate of our liability for future warranty costs requires us to make significant
assumptions about the amount, timing and nature of the costs we will incur in the future. We
review the assumptions used to determine the liability periodically and we adjust our assumptions
based upon factors such as actual failure rates and cost experience. Numerous factors could affect
actual failure rates and cost experience, including the amount and timing of new product
introductions, changes in manufacturing techniques or locations, components or suppliers used. In
recent years, changes in the warranty liability as the result of the issuance of new warranties and
the payments made have remained relatively stable. Should actual warranty costs differ from our
estimates, we may
be required to record adjustments to accruals and expense in the future. There have been no
material changes to the warranty accrual balances since our latest fiscal year-end.
31
We incur the risk of liability claims for the installation and service of heating and air
conditioning products and we maintain liabilities for those claims that we self-insure. We are
involved in various claims and lawsuits related to our products. Our product liability insurance
policies have limits that, if exceeded, may result in substantial costs that could have an adverse
effect on our results of operations. In addition, warranty claims are not covered by our product
liability insurance and certain product liability claims may also not be covered by our product
liability insurance. There have been no material changes in the circumstances since our latest
fiscal year-end.
We also may incur costs related to our products that may not be covered under our warranties
and are not covered by insurance, and we may, from time to time, repair or replace installed
products experiencing quality issues in order to satisfy our customers and to protect our brand.
These product quality issues may be caused by vendor-supplied components that fail to meet required
specifications. We have identified a product quality issue in a heating and cooling product line
produced during a limited time period that we believe results from a vendor-supplied component that
failed to meet required specifications. We are working to determine the scope and nature of the
issue. Any liability resulting from the product quality issue and any related recovery from the
vendor cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
We estimate the costs to settle pending litigation based on experience involving similar
claims and specific facts known. We do not believe that any current or pending or threatened
litigation with have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Litigation and
arbitration, however, involve uncertainties and it is possible that the eventual outcome of
litigation could adversely affect our results of operations for a particular period.
Applicable environmental laws can potentially impose obligations to remediate hazardous
substances at our properties, at properties formerly owned or operated by us and at facilities to
which we have sent or send waste for treatment or disposal. We are aware of contamination at some
facilities; however, we do not presently believe that any future remediation costs at such
facilities will be material to our results of operations. There have been no material changes to
the reserve balances since our latest fiscal year-end.
On June 22, 2006, we entered into an agreement with a financial institution to lease our
corporate headquarters in Richardson, Texas for a term of seven years (the Lake Park Lease). The
leased property consists of an office building of approximately 192,000 square feet, land and
related improvements. Our obligations under the Lake Park Lease are secured by a pledge of our
interest in the leased property and are also guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. The
Lake Park Lease, as amended, contains restrictive covenants that are consistent with those of our
domestic revolving credit facility. We are in compliance with these financial covenants as of
March 31, 2009.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our results of operations can be affected by changes in exchange rates. Net sales and
expenses in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes
based on the average exchange rate for the period. Net sales from outside the United States
represented 28.4% and 30.5% of total net sales for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Historically, foreign currency translation gains (losses) have not had a material
effect on our overall operations. As of March 31, 2009, the impact to segment (loss) profit of a
10% change in exchange rates is estimated to be approximately $0.6 million on an annual basis.
We enter into commodity futures contracts to stabilize prices expected to be paid for raw
materials and parts containing high copper and aluminum content. These contracts are for
quantities equal to or less than quantities expected to be consumed in future production. As of
March 31, 2009, we had metal futures contracts maturing at various dates through August 2010 with a
fair value as a liability of $19.3 million. The impact of a 10% change in commodity prices would
have a significant impact on our results from operations on an annual basis, absent any other
contravening actions.
Our results of operations can be affected by changes in interest rates due to variable rates
of interest on our revolving credit facilities, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Based on our best estimates of projected cash flows and debt activity, a 100 basis point change in
interest rates would impact our results of operations by approximately $2.4 million, annually.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our current
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2009 in alerting them in a timely
manner to material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit to
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
33
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
There have been no significant changes concerning our legal proceedings since December 31,
2008. See Note 7 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, Item
1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion regarding legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you
should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which could materially affect our
business, financial condition or results of operations. There have been no material changes in our
risk factors from those disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On June 2, 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan
for $300 million, pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock
through open market purchases (the 2008 Share Repurchase Plan). The 2008 Share Repurchase Plan
has no stated expiration date. In the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased shares of our common
stock as follows:
