Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements
We prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can be condensed or omitted.
We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of those for a full year.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a 13-week basis ending on a Saturday.
2. New Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests have been recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and are reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity. Purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively. We adopted SFAS 160 effective January 1, 2009 and have classified noncontrolling interest (previously minority interest) as a component of equity for all periods presented.
3. Stock-based Compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense was $4.7 million and $6.5 million for the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2009, restricted shares and restricted stock units of our common stock were granted under the 2008 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan to eligible employees with a vesting period of two to five years after issuance. Restricted share awards and restricted stock units are valued at market value on the date of grant and are typically expensed over the vesting period. Total compensation expense for restricted share awards during the first quarter of 2009 and 2008 was $2.7 million and $3.2 million respectively.
During the first quarter of 2009, option awards were granted under the 2008 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan with an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant and are typically expensed over the vesting period. Total compensation expense for stock option awards was $2.0 million and $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
We estimated the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, modified for dividends and using the following assumptions:
                 
    March 28   March 29
    2009   2008
 
Expected stock price volatility
    32.5 %     27.0 %
Expected life
  5.2 yrs     4.8 yrs  
Risk-free interest rate
    1.77 %     2.75 %
Dividend yield
    3.20 %     2.13 %
The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the first quarter of 2009 and 2008 was $5.09 and $7.36 per share, respectively.
These estimates require us to make assumptions based on historical results, observance of trends in our stock price, changes in option exercise behavior, future expectations and other relevant factors. If other assumptions had been used, stock-based compensation expense, as calculated and recorded under SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), Share Based Payment, could have been affected.
We based the expected life assumption on historical experience as well as the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. For purposes of determining expected volatility, we considered a rolling average of historical volatility measured over a period approximately equal to the expected option term. The risk-free rate for periods that coincide with the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

4. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated using the following:
                 
    Three months ended
    March 28   March 29
In thousands   2009   2008
     
Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic
    97,375       98,280

Weighted average common shares outstanding — diluted
    97,966       99,558  
 
 
               
Stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares
    8,601       4,612  
5. Restructuring
During 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, we announced and initiated certain business restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and rationalizing our manufacturing footprint. These initiatives included the reduction in hourly and salaried headcount of approximately 2,000 employees, of which 1,500 were in the Water Group and 500 were in the Technical Products Group. We expect these restructuring actions to generally be completed by the end of 2009.
Restructuring related costs included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income include costs for severance and related benefits of $2.8 million in the first three months of 2009.
Restructuring accrual activity recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is summarized as follows:

6. Acquisitions
On June 28, 2008, we entered into a transaction with GE Water & Process Technologies (a unit of General Electric Company) (“GE”) that was accounted for as an acquisition of an 80.1 percent ownership interest in GE’s global water softener and residential water filtration business in exchange for a 19.9 percent interest in our global water softener and residential water filtration business. The acquisition was effected through the formation of two new entities (collectively, “Pentair Residential Filtration” or “PRF”), a U.S. entity and an international entity, into which we and GE contributed certain assets, properties, liabilities and operations representing our respective global water softener and residential water filtration businesses. We are an 80.1 percent owner of PRF and GE is a 19.9 percent owner. The fair value of the acquisition was $229.2 million, which includes approximately $3.3 million of acquisition related costs. The acquisition and related sale of our 19.9 percent interest resulted in a gain of $109.6 million ($85.8 million after tax), representing the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the 19.9 percent interest sold.
With the formation of Pentair Residential Filtration, we believe we will be better positioned to serve residential customers with industry-leading technical applications in the areas of water conditioning, whole-house filtration, point of use water management and water sustainability and expect to accelerate revenue growth by selling GE’s existing residential conditioning products through our sales channels.
The fair value of the 80.1% interest in the global water softener and residential water filtration business of GE Water and Process Technologies acquired was determined using both an income approach and a market approach. The income approach utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis based on certain key assumptions including a discount rate based on a computed weighted average cost of capital and expected long-term revenue and expense growth rates. The market approach indicates the fair value of a business based on a comparison of the business to guideline publicly traded companies and transactions in its industry.
The fair value of the business acquired was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value acquired over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation was approximately $137.9 million, none of which is tax deductible. Identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition were $66.5 million, including definite-lived intangibles, such as customer relationships, proprietary technology and trade names with a weighted average amortization period of approximately 15 years. We continue to evaluate the purchase price allocation, including tangible and intangible assets, which primarily consist of trademarks, proprietary technology and customer relationships, contingent liabilities and liabilities associated with exit or disposal activities, and expect to revise the purchase price allocation in future periods as these estimates are finalized.

We have a multi-currency revolving Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility creates an unsecured, committed revolving credit facility of up to $800 million, with multi-currency sub facilities to support investments outside the U.S. The Credit Facility expires on June 4, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.625%. Interest rates and fees on the Credit Facility vary based on our credit ratings.
Total availability under our existing Credit Facility was $547.2 million as of March 28, 2009.
We are authorized to sell short-term commercial paper notes to the extent availability exists under the Credit Facility. We use the Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support 100% of commercial paper outstanding. Our use of commercial paper as a funding vehicle depends upon the relative interest rates for our paper compared to the cost of borrowing under our Credit Facility. As of March 28, 2009, we had no commercial paper outstanding.
The commercial paper and Notes, (as defined below) were classified as long-term as we have the intent and the ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis under the Credit Facility.
In addition to the Credit Facility, we have $25.0 million of uncommitted credit facilities, under which we had $7.4 million of borrowings as of March 28, 2009.
Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is a leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) that may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all covenants in our debt agreements as of March 28, 2009.
On July 8, 2008, we commenced a cash tender offer for all of our outstanding $250 million aggregate principal 7.85% Senior Notes due 2009 (the “Notes”). Upon expiration of the tender offer on August 4, 2008, we purchased $116.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a loss of $4.6 million on early extinguishment of debt. The loss included the write off of $0.1 million in unamortized deferred financing fees in addition to recognition of $0.6 million in previously unrecognized swap gains, and cash paid of $5.1 million related to the tender premium and other costs associated with the purchase.
On March 16, 2009, we announced the redemption of all of our remaining outstanding $133.9 million aggregate principle of Notes. The Notes were redeemed on April 15, 2009 at a redemption price of $1,035.88 per $1,000 of principal outstanding plus accrued interest thereon. As a result of this transaction, we will recognize a loss of $4.6 million on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter. The loss will include the write off of $0.1 million in unamortized deferred financing fees in addition to recognition of $0.3 million in previously unrecognized swap gains, and cash paid of $4.8 million related to the redemption and other costs associated with the purchase.
Debt outstanding at March 28, 2009 matures on a calendar year basis as follows:

12. Derivatives and Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (adopted by Pentair as of January 1, 2008), with the exception of the application of the statement to the determination of fair value of nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed on a nonrecurring basis, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 (adopted by Pentair as of January 1, 2009).
SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. 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 or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based upon our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Cash-flow hedges
In August 2007, we entered into a $105 million interest rate swap agreement with a major financial institution to exchange variable rate interest payment obligations for a fixed rate obligation without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts in order to manage interest rate exposures. The effective date of the swap was August 30, 2007. The swap agreement has a fixed interest rate of 4.89% and expires in May 2012. The fixed interest rate of 4.89% plus the .50% interest rate spread over LIBOR results in an effective fixed interest rate of 5.39%. The fair value of the swap was a liability of $10.4 million, $10.7 million and $7.6 million at March 28, 2009, December 31, 2008 and March 29, 2008, respectively, and was recorded in Other non-current liabilities.
In September 2005, we entered into a $100 million interest rate swap agreement with several major financial institutions to exchange variable rate interest payment obligations for fixed rate obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts in order to manage interest rate exposures. The effective date of the fixed rate swap was April 25, 2006. The swap agreement has a fixed interest rate of 4.68% and expires in July 2013. The fixed interest rate of 4.68% plus the .60% interest rate spread over LIBOR results in an effective fixed interest rate of 5.28%. The fair value of the swap was a liability of $11.3 million, $11.6 million and $6.7 million at March 28, 2009, December 31, 2008 and March 29, 2008, respectively, and was recorded in Other non-current liabilities.
The variable to fixed interest rate swaps are designated as and are effective as cash-flow hedges. The fair value of these swaps are recorded as assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in their fair value included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Derivative gains and losses included in OCI are reclassified into earnings at the time the related interest expense is recognized or the settlement of the related commitment occurs.
Failure of one or more of our swap counterparties would result in the loss of any benefit to us of the swap agreement. In this case, we would continue to be obligated to pay the variable interest payments per the underlying debt agreements which are at variable interest rates of 3 month LIBOR plus .50% for $105 million of debt and 3 month LIBOR plus .60% for $100 million of debt. Additionally, failure of one or all of our swap counterparties would not eliminate our obligation to continue to make payments under our existing swap agreements if we continue to be in a net pay position.
At March 28, 2009, our interest rate swaps are carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis. Fair values are determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy defined by SFAS 157.
13. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2009 was 29.5% compared to 34.7% for the three months ended March 29, 2008. We expect the effective tax rate for the remainder of 2009 to be between 32% and 33%, resulting in a full year effective income tax rate of between 32% and 33%. We continue to actively pursue initiatives to reduce our effective tax rate. The tax rate in any quarter can be affected positively or negatively by adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution.
The total gross liability for uncertain tax positions under FASB Interpretation No. 48 at March 28, 2009 is estimated to be approximately $28.1 million. We record penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for income taxes and Net interest expense, respectively, which is consistent with our past practices.

Overview
We are a focused diversified industrial manufacturing company comprised of two operating segments: Water and Technical Products. Our Water Group is a global leader in providing innovative products and systems used worldwide in the movement, storage, treatment and enjoyment of water. Our Technical Products Group is a leader in the global enclosures and thermal management markets, designing and manufacturing standard, modified and custom enclosures that house and protect sensitive electronics and electrical components; thermal management products; and accessories. In 2009, we expect our Water Group and Technical Products Group to generate approximately 2/3 and 1/3 of total revenues, respectively.
Our Water Group has progressively become a more important part of our business portfolio with sales increasing from approximately $125 million in 1995 to approximately $2.2 billion in 2008. We believe the water industry is structurally attractive as a result of a growing demand for clean water and the large global market size (of which we have identified a target market totaling $60 billion). Our vision is to be a leading global provider of innovative products and systems used in the movement, storage, treatment and enjoyment of water.
On February 28, 2008, we sold our National Pool Tile (“NPT”) business to Pool Corporation in a cash transaction. The results of NPT have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of NPT have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On June 28, 2008, we entered into a transaction with GE Water & Process Technologies (a unit of General Electric Company) (“GE”) that was accounted for as an acquisition of an 80.1 percent ownership interest in GE’s global water softener and residential water filtration business in exchange for a 19.9 percent interest in our global water softener and residential water filtration business. The acquisition was effected through the formation of two new entities (collectively, “Pentair Residential Filtration” or “PRF”), a U.S. entity and an international entity, into which we and GE contributed certain assets, properties, liabilities and operations representing our respective global water softener and residential water filtration businesses. We are an 80.1 percent owner of PRF and GE is a 19.9 percent owner.
With the formation of Pentair Residential Filtration, we believe we will be better positioned to serve residential customers with industry-leading technical applications in the areas of water conditioning, whole house filtration, point of use water management and water sustainability and expect to improve our revenue growth by selling GE’s existing residential conditioning products through our sales channels.
On December 15, 2008, we sold our Spa and Bath (“Spa/Bath”) business to Balboa Water Group in a cash transaction. The results of Spa/Bath have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of Spa/Bath have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Our Technical Products Group operates in a large global market with significant potential for growth in industry segments such as defense, security, medical and networking. We believe we have the largest industrial and commercial distribution network in North America for enclosures and the highest brand recognition in the industry in North America. From mid-2001 through 2003, the Technical Products Group experienced significantly lower sales volumes as a result of severely reduced capital spending in the industrial and commercial markets and over-capacity and weak demand in the data communication and telecommunication markets. From 2004 through 2008, sales volumes increased due to the addition of new distributors, new products, price increases and higher demand in targeted markets. The Technical Products Group experienced a significant decline in revenue of approximately 25% in the first quarter of 2009.
Key Trends and Uncertainties
The following trends and uncertainties affected the first three months of our financial performance in 2009 and will likely impact our results in the future:
  Many markets we serve have slowed dramatically as a result of the tumultuous credit markets and the resulting recession. We have identified specific product and geographic markets we serve that we believe will stagnate, contract or continue contracting in 2009, as noted below. We expect to continue restructuring our operations serving those markets in order to reduce or relocate capacity, to reduce labor and material costs, to optimize our manufacturing footprint and to simplify our business structure until our capacity is aligned with our anticipated volume prospects in these markets. We have also identified specific markets in which we participate that we believe will continue to grow over this period and are selectively reinforcing our businesses in these markets. Because our businesses are significantly affected by general economic trends, further deterioration in our most important markets addressed below would likely have an adverse impact on our results of operations for 2009 and beyond.
 
  New home building and new pool starts have contracted for each of the past three years in the United States and have slowed significantly in Europe as well. We believe that construction of new homes and new pool starts in North America affect approximately 10%–15% of sales of our water businesses, while repair, replacement and refurbishment account for approximately 15%–20% of sales in these businesses. We expect the current recession to continue to adversely impact our sales for all or a significant portion of 2009. As sales of products into domestic residential end-markets in our Water Group business continued to slow appreciably, we have reduced our investments in businesses in those markets, and further restructured our operations by closing or downsizing facilities, reducing headcount and taking other market-related actions.
 
  Industrial, communications and commercial markets for all of our businesses, including commercial and industrial construction, also slowed significantly during the fourth quarter of 2008, especially in December, and this weakness has continued throughout the first quarter of 2009. We have a high level of uncertainty over the course of the economy and hence the strength of many of our significant markets both in the United States and around the world for the balance of 2009 and beyond. We have reduced our investments in businesses in these markets, and further restructured our operations by closing or downsizing facilities, reducing headcount and taking other market-related actions.
 
  We experienced material cost and other inflation in a number of our businesses during 2008. To offset this inflation, we implemented productivity improvements and selective increases in selling prices to help mitigate inflationary cost increases we experienced in base materials such as carbon steel, copper and resins and other costs such as health care and other employee benefit costs. We expect the current economic environment will result in price volatility for many of our raw materials; material costs have declined in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, and we believe they will continue to decline so long as general economic conditions remain weak. We believe that these cost decreases we are experiencing will not begin to be fully realized in our results of operations until the second quarter of 2009. Our ability to fully realize the benefit of raw material cost reductions may be tempered by market pressure to lower pricing to our customers as a result of lower material cost.
 
  As a result of the dramatic fall in securities and other investment markets over 2008, our unfunded pension liability increased from fiscal year end 2007 to fiscal year end 2008 from $147 million to $257 million, or an increase of $110 million primarily reflecting our reduced investment return and significantly lower asset values in our US defined benefit plans during 2008. This will increase our 2009 contributions to the plans to approximately $20–$25 million, an increase of over $10 million from the year earlier.

    These amounts differ from the expected contribution amounts described in our 2008 Form 10-K due to regulatory changes enacted during the first quarter of 2009 that had the effect of reducing our required contributions.
 
  We have a long-term goal to consistently generate free cash flow that equals or exceeds 100% conversion of our net income. We define free cash flow as cash flow from continuing operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment. Free cash flow for the full year 2008 was approximately $164 million, or 72% of our net income. We had a net cash usage of approximately $33 million in the first quarter of 2009. Our target for free cash flow in 2009 is $225 million. See our discussion of Other financial measures under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this report.
 
  We experience seasonal demand in a number of markets within our Water Group. End-user demand for pool equipment follows warm weather trends and is normally at seasonal highs from April to August. The magnitude of the sales spike is partially mitigated by employing some advance sale “early buy” programs (generally including extended payment terms and/or additional discounts). Demand for residential and agricultural water systems is also impacted by economic conditions and weather patterns, particularly by heavy flooding and droughts. While we believe that this seasonality will continue in the second and third quarters of 2009, due to the unknown impact of the current economic situation, we are uncertain of the size and impact of the seasonal spike for the year, and contemplate that any seasonal impact will likely be less than in prior years.
 
  We have experienced year over year favorable foreign currency effects on net sales and operating results in the first nine months of 2008, due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to other foreign currencies, which has reversed in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009. Our currency effect is primarily for the U.S. dollar against the euro, which may or may not trend favorably in the future.
 
  On June 28, 2008, we formed Pentair Residential Filtration in order to expand our product lines, accelerate opportunities to provide our customers complete water filtration systems, increase revenue growth and exploit cost synergy opportunities. The one-time gain on the transaction increased diluted earnings per share, on an after tax basis, by 86 cents in the second quarter of 2008. Integration and inventory step-up costs arising out of the formation of the PRF business amounted to approximately $7 million in 2008. We believe we will continue to incur integration costs as we combine facilities in this business throughout most of 2009.
 
  The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2009 was 29.5% compared to 34.7% for the three months ended March 29, 2008. We expect the effective tax rate for the remainder of 2009 to be between 32% and 33%, resulting in a full year effective income tax rate of between 32% and 33%. We continue to actively pursue initiatives to reduce our effective tax rate. The tax rate in any quarter can be affected positively or negatively by adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution.
Outlook
In 2009, our operating objectives include the following:
  Restructuring our operations in challenging markets while investing in more favorable markets and geographies;
 
  Increasing our vertical market focus within each of our Global Business Units to grow in those markets in which we have competitive advantages;
 
  Driving operating excellence through lean enterprise initiatives, with special focus on sourcing and supply management, cash flow management, and lean operations;
 
  Stressing proactive talent development, particularly in international management and other key functional areas; and
 
  Completing integration of the newly formed PRF business and prior acquisitions, and realizing identified synergistic opportunities.
On April 21, 2009, we announced our earnings for the first quarter of 2009 of $0.18 per share on a diluted basis. As further noted below, our revenue decreased in the quarter 24% from the year-earlier period. Our volume decrease was approximately 10% more than anticipated based on December 2008 and January 2009 activity.
On April 21, 2009, we announced earnings guidance for the second quarter of 2009. We anticipate that sales revenue will be roughly consistent with levels seen in the first quarter, so we project sales declines of approximately 20%. We anticipate that reported earnings per share will total from $0.32 to $0.42 in the quarter.
In December 2008, we also initiated earnings guidance for the year 2009 that anticipated our earnings to be $1.70 to $2.00 per share on a diluted basis. On April 21, 2009, we revised our full year guidance for 2009 to equal or exceed $1.40 per share on a diluted basis, due to the significantly lower volume of sales and order activity we saw in the first quarter, as well as the continued uncertainty about the economic performance trajectory for the calendar year both in the United States and globally. As noted above, significant deterioration in general economic conditions in our primary markets and geographies beyond what we have seen in the first quarter would adversely impact our revenues and financial performance.
This outlook is based on several variables. First, our guidance anticipates revenue declines in our businesses throughout 2009 of approximately 20% as a result of overall market conditions, bringing our total revenue to approximately $2.6-$2.7 billion for the full year.

Second, we expect to get a greater benefit in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009 from restructuring and other market-related expense reduction efforts taken during 2008 and early in 2009. Third, we anticipate that our manufacturing productivity initiatives, in particular our materials sourcing programs, will improve through our lean enterprise initiatives and commodity deflation.
We have heightened our focus on increasing the conversion of our net income into free cash flow from that achieved in 2008. In addition, in response to continuing turbulence in the credit markets, we are taking actions we believe will help maintain our liquidity, increase our capital resources, and repay indebtedness at a faster rate than would otherwise be the case. We do not intend to implement our stock buyback program for 2009, as we have in the past, nor do we currently intend to make any significant cash acquisitions until credit markets and business conditions stabilize.
If economic conditions worsen in North America and Europe, then we expect that our sales, manufacturing productivity and cash flow may deteriorate from the current forecast. In that event, we would further reduce discretionary capital spending and selling, marketing and R&D costs as well as accelerate our restructuring actions in order to minimize the impact of these declines on our earnings per share. Conversely, if economic conditions hold up and improve over the year we would then have the flexibility to increase expenditures in our selling, marketing and R&D efforts to maximize organic sales growth in favorable markets in 2009 and to anticipate growth in 2010.
Our guidance assumes an absence of significant acquisitions or divestitures in 2009. In 2009, we may seek to expand our geographic reach internationally, expand our presence in our various channels to market and acquire technologies and products to broaden our businesses’ capabilities to serve additional markets. We may also consider the divestiture or closure of discrete business units to further focus our businesses on their most attractive markets.
The ability to achieve our operating objectives will depend, to a certain extent, on factors outside our control. See “Forward-looking statements” in this report and “Risk Factors” under ITEM 1A in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consolidated net sales
The 23.6 percent decrease in consolidated net sales in the first quarter of 2009 from 2008 was primarily driven by:
  lower Technical Products Group sales in both the Electrical and Electronics businesses;
 
  lower sales of certain pump, pool and filtration products primarily related to the downturn in the North American and Western European residential housing markets and other global markets; and
 
  unfavorable foreign currency effects.
These decreases were partially offset by:
  an increase in sales volume due to the formation of PRF; and
 
  selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases.

Water Group
The 22.2 percent decrease in Water Group net sales in the first quarter of 2009 from 2008 was primarily driven by:
  organic sales decline of approximately 22 percent (excluding acquisitions and foreign currency exchange) primarily due to lower sales of certain pump, pool and filtration products primarily related to the downturn in the North American and Western European residential housing markets and other global markets; and
 
  unfavorable foreign currency effects.
These decreases were partially offset by:
  selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases;
 
  an increase in sales volume due to the formation of PRF; and
 
  continued growth in China and in other emerging markets in Asia-Pacific as well as continued success in penetrating markets in the Middle East.
Technical Products Group
The 26.5 percent decrease in Technical Product Group net sales in the first quarter 2009 from 2008 was primarily driven by:
  a decrease in sales to electrical markets resulting from lower capital spending by customers in the industrial vertical market;
 
  a decrease in sales to electronics markets that is largely attributable to reduced spending in the general electronics, data communication and telecommunication vertical markets; and
 
  unfavorable foreign currency effects.
These decreases were partially offset by:
  selective increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases.

Percentage point change
          (3.5 ) pts                
The 3.5 percent decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the first quarter of 2009 from 2008 was primarily the result of:
  lower sales of certain pump, pool and filtration products primarily related to the downturn in the North American and Western European residential housing markets and other global market downturns;
 
  lower sales volume in our Technical Products group and lower fixed cost absorption resulting from that volume decline; and
 
  inflationary increases related to raw materials and labor costs.

25


Table of Contents

These decreases were partially offset by:
  cost savings from restructuring actions and other personnel reductions taken in response to the current economic downturn and resulting volume decline;
  selective increases in selling prices in our Water and Technical Products Groups to mitigate inflationary cost increases; and
  savings generated from our Pentair Integrated Management System (“PIMS”) initiatives including lean and supply management practices.

Percentage point change
            1.9  pts                
The 1.9 percentage point increase in SG&A expense as a percentage of sales in the first quarter of 2009 from 2008 was primarily due to:
  lower sales volume and the resultant loss of leverage on the SG&A expense spending;
  expense associated with restructuring actions in both our Water and Technical Products Groups during the first quarter of 2009;
  continued investments in future growth with emphasis on growth in international markets, including personnel and business infrastructure investments; and
  higher costs associated with the integration of and intangible amortization related to the June 2008 formation of PRF.
These increases were partially offset by:
  reduced costs related to productivity actions taken throughout 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 to consolidate facilities and streamline general and administrative costs.

  a decrease in sales to electrical markets resulting from lower capital spending by customers in the industrial vertical market;
  a decrease in sales into electronics markets that is largely attributable to reduced spending in the general electronics, data communications and telecommunication vertical markets;
  inflationary increases related to raw materials, such as carbon steel, and labor costs; and

Table of Contents

The 5.2 percentage point decrease in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2009 from 2008 was primarily the result of:
  proportionally higher earnings in lower-tax rate jurisdictions during 2009; and
  favorable adjustments in the first quarter of 2009 related to prior years’ tax returns.
We estimate our effective income tax rate for the remaining quarters of this year will be between 32% and 33% resulting in a full year effective income tax rate of between 32% and 33%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We generally fund cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, equity investments, acquisitions, debt repayments, dividend payments and share repurchases from cash generated from operations, availability under existing committed revolving credit facilities, and in certain instances, public and private debt and equity offerings. We have grown our businesses in significant part in the past through acquisitions, financed by credit provided under our revolving credit facilities and, from time to time, by private or public debt issuance. Our primary revolving credit facilities have generally been adequate for these purposes, although we have negotiated additional credit facilities as needed to allow us to complete acquisitions; these are temporary loans that have in the past been repaid within less than a year.
In light of the current global economic situation and the state of credit markets generally, we do not currently plan to make any significant acquisitions in 2009, and we do not plan to continue in 2009 the annual share repurchase programs that we have undertaken over the past few years. We are focusing on increasing our cash flow and maximizing debt repayment for the foreseeable future. Our intent is to maintain investment grade ratings and a solid liquidity position.
We experience seasonal cash flows primarily due to seasonal demand in a number of markets within our Water Group. We generally borrow in the first quarter of our fiscal year for operational purposes, which usage reverses in the second quarter as the seasonality of our businesses peaks. End-user demand for pool equipment follows warm weather trends and is at seasonal highs from April to August. The magnitude of the sales spike is partially mitigated by employing some advance sale “early buy” programs (generally including extended payment terms and/or additional discounts). Demand for residential and agricultural water systems is also impacted by weather patterns, particularly by heavy flooding and droughts.
Cash contribution requirements for our pension plans are either based upon the applicable country regulation (principally the U.S.) or are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. We expect that our 2009 contributions to the plans will be $20 million to $25 million, an increase of over $10 million from the year earlier. The increase in 2009 expected contributions relates primarily to the impact of reduced investment return and significantly lower asset values for our U.S. qualified pension plans. Contribution requirements in the U.S. are governed by the Pension Protection Act of 2006. Our contribution requirements could continue or increase in years subsequent to 2009 unless there is an improvement in the funded status of our U.S. qualified pension plans.
Operating activities
Cash used for operating activities was $17.1 million in the first three months of 2009 compared with cash used for operating activities of $70.5 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease in cash used for operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for working capital in the first three months of 2009, partially offset by a decrease in net income versus the same period of last year. In the future, we expect our working capital ratios to improve as we are able to capitalize on our PIMS initiatives.
Investing activities
Capital expenditures in the first three months of 2009 were $16.0 million compared with $14.0 million in the prior year period. We currently anticipate capital expenditures for fiscal 2009 will be approximately $45 million to $50 million, primarily for capacity expansions in our low cost country manufacturing facilities, new product development, and replacement equipment.
On December 15, 2008, we sold our Spa/Bath business to Balboa Water Group in a cash transaction for $8.3 million including certain price adjustments based on working capital at closing. The results of Spa/Bath have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of Spa/Bath have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On February 28, 2008, we sold our NPT business to Pool Corporation in a cash transaction for approximately $30.0 million subject to certain price adjustments. The results of NPT have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of NPT have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $28.8 million in the first three months of 2009 compared with $41.2 million provided by financing activities in the prior year period. The reduction primarily relates to a net decrease in our long-term debt activity in 2009 compared to 2008. Financing activities included draw downs and repayments on our revolving credit facilities to fund our operations in the normal course of business, payments of dividends, cash used to repurchase Company stock, cash received from stock option exercises, and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.
Our current $800 million multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) was entered into in the second quarter of 2007 and does not expire until June 4, 2012. The agent banks under the Credit Facility are J. P. Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, U. S. Bank and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. We had borrowing capacity of $547.2 million at March 28, 2009.

28


Table of Contents

The Credit Facility creates an unsecured, committed revolving credit facility of up to $800 million, with multi-currency sub facilities to support investments outside the U.S. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.625%. Interest rates and fees on the Credit Facility vary based on our credit ratings. We believe that internally generated funds and funds available under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our normal operations, dividend payments, stock repurchases (if authorized) and debt maturities over the life of the Credit Facility.
We are authorized to sell short-term commercial paper notes to the extent availability exists under the Credit Facility. We use the Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support 100% of commercial paper outstanding. Our use of commercial paper as a funding vehicle depends upon the relative interest rates for our commercial paper compared to the cost of borrowing under our Credit Facility. As of March 28, 2009, we had no commercial paper outstanding. We classify any outstanding commercial paper as long-term as we have the intent and the ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis under the Credit Facility.
Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is a leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) that may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all covenants under our debt agreements as of March 28, 2009.
In addition to the Credit Facility, we have $25.0 million of uncommitted credit facilities, under which we had $7.4 million of borrowings as of March 28, 2009.
On July 8, 2008, we commenced a cash tender offer for all of our outstanding $250 million aggregate principal of Notes. Upon expiration of the tender offer on August 4, 2008, we purchased $116.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a loss of $4.6 million on early extinguishment of debt. The loss included the write off of $0.1 million in unamortized deferred financing fees in addition to recognition of $0.6 million in previously unrecognized swap gains, and cash paid of $5.1 million related to the tender premium and other costs associated with the purchase.
On March 16, 2009, we announced the redemption of all of our remaining outstanding $133.9 million aggregate principle of Notes to take advantage of lower interest rates available under the Credit Facility. The Notes were redeemed on April 15, 2009 at a redemption price of $1,035.88 per $1,000 of principal outstanding plus accrued interest thereon utilizing funds on hand and drawings under our Credit Facility. No other significant debt obligations mature until 2012. As a result of this transaction, we will recognize a loss of $4.6 million on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter. The loss will include the write off of $0.1 million in unamortized deferred financing fees in addition to recognition of $0.3 million in previously unrecognized swap gains, and cash paid of $4.8 million related to the redemption and other costs associated with the purchase.
Our current credit ratings are as follows:
         
Rating Agency   Credit Rating   Current Rating Outlook
Standard & Poor’s
  BBB-   Stable
Moody’s
  Baa3   Stable
On March 6, 2009, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) lowered our credit rating from BBB to BBB- and changed the outlook from negative to stable. S&P’s rating action reflects their expectation that the difficult global economic environment will likely delay improvement in our credit metrics, resulting in metrics that are more consistent with a BBB- rating. On March 9, 2009, Moody’s Investors Service affirmed its Baa3 rating with a stable outlook. Our credit rating continues to be an investment grade rating, which is a credit rating of BBB- or higher by S&P and Baa3 or higher by Moody’s.
Borrowings under our Credit Facility are at interest rates that vary based upon our credit rating. As a result of the rating action by S&P, the borrowing rate increased from LIBOR plus 0.50% to LIBOR plus 0.625%.
In the event of a one rating downgrade, our flexibility to access the debt capital markets may be reduced and the pricing of new debt will be adversely impacted. Additionally, the cost of borrowings under our Credit Facility would increase by an additional 0.125%.
We expect to continue to have cash requirements to support working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest and service debt, and to pay dividends to shareholders. In order to meet these cash requirements, we intend to use available cash and internally generated funds, and to borrow under our committed and uncommitted credit facilities.
Dividends paid in the first three months of 2009 were $17.7 million, or $0.18 per common share, compared with $16.9 million, or $0.17 per common share, in the prior year period. We have increased dividends every year for the last 33 years and expect to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis.
The total gross liability for uncertain tax positions under FASB Interpretation No. 48 at March 28, 2009 is approximately $28.1 million. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the estimate will increase or decrease over time; however, at this time, we do not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next twelve months.
There have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations, other than noted above, or off-balance sheet arrangements described in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Other financial measures
In addition to measuring our cash flow generation or usage based upon operating, investing, and financing classifications included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure our free cash flow and our conversion of net income. We have a long-term goal to consistently generate free cash flow that equals or exceeds 100% conversion of net income. Free cash flow and conversion of net income are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to assess our cash flow performance. We believe free cash flow and conversion of net income are important measures of operating performance because they provide us and our investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to pay dividends and repay debt. In addition, free cash flow and conversion of net income are used as a criterion to measure and pay compensation-based incentives. Our measure of free cash flow and conversion of net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow and a calculation of the conversion of net income with cash flows from continuing operations:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Pentair, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Pentair, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) as of March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month periods ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008, and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51 resulting in a change in method of accounting for noncontrolling interests.
