Competition

Principal methods of competition in both the Engine and Industrial Products segments are technology and innovation, price, geographic coverage, service, and product performance. The Company competes in a number of highly competitive filtration markets in both segments. The Company believes it is a market leader withwithin many of its product lines. The Company believeslines, specifically within the Engine Products segment it is a market leader in its Off-Road Equipment and On-Road Products lines for OEMs and is a significant participant in the aftermarket for replacement filters. The Engine Products segment’s principal competitors include several large global competitors and many regional competitors, especially in the Engine Aftermarket Products business. The Industrial Products segment’s principal competitors vary from country to country and include several large regional and global competitors and a significant number of smaller competitors who compete in a specific geographical region or in a limited number of product applications.

Raw Materials

The principal raw materials that the Company uses are steel, filter media, and plastics. Commodity prices generally increased throughoutpetroleum-based products. Purchased raw materials represent approximately 60 to 65 percent of the year, butCompany’s cost of goods sold.  Of that amount, steel, including fabricated parts, represents approximately 25 percent. Filter media represents approximately 15 to 20 percent and the impact was moderated by certain long term supply contracts. The Company anticipates a further impact from rising commodity prices in Fiscal 2012, as compared to Fiscal 2011, specifically for steelremainder is primarily made up of petroleum-based products and media, as these supply contracts expired during the latter half of Fiscal 2011. The Company experienced no significant supply problems in the purchase of its major raw materials.other components.  The Company typically has multiple sources of supply for the raw materials essential to its business, andbut does rely primarily on two media suppliers. The Company is not required to carry significant amounts of raw material inventory to secure supplier allotments. However, the Company does stock finished goods inventory at its regional distribution centers in order to meet anticipated Customer demand. The Company has not experienced significant supply problems in the purchase of its major raw materials.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company owns various patents and trademarks, which it considers in the aggregate to constitute a valuable asset, including patents and trademarks for products sold under the Ultra-Web®, PowerCore®, and Donaldson® trademarks. However, it does not regard the validity of any one patent or trademark as being of material importance.

Major Customers

There were no Customers that accounted for over 10 percent of net sales in Fiscal 2011, 20102013, 2012, or 2009.2011. There were no Customers that accounted for over 10 percent of gross accounts receivable in Fiscal 2011 or 2010.2013 and one Customer over 10 percent of gross accounts receivable in Fiscal 2012.

Backlog

At August 31, 2011,2013, the backlog of orders expected to be delivered within 90 days was $423.8$351.7 million. All of thisThis entire backlog is expected to be shipped during Fiscal 2012.2014. The 90-day backlog at August 31, 2010,2012, was $361.1$403.7 million. Backlog is one of many indicators of business conditions in the Company’s markets. However, it is not always indicative of future results for a number of reasons, including short lead times in the Company’s replacement parts businesses and the timing of orders in many of the Company’s Engine OEM and Industrial markets.

Research and Development

During Fiscal 2011,2013, the Company spent $55.3$62.6 million on research and development activities. Research and development expenses include basic scientific research and the application of scientific advances to the development of new and improved products and their uses. The Company spent $44.5$59.6 million and $40.6$55.3 million in Fiscal 20102012 and Fiscal 2009,2011, respectively, on research and development activities. Substantially all commercial research and development is performed in-house.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our global operations that involve the manufacturing and sale of products for highly demanding Customer applications throughout the world. These risks and uncertainties could adversely affect our operating performance and financial condition. The following discussion, along with discussions elsewhere in this report, outlines the risks and uncertainties that we believe are the most material to our business. In light of the global economic slowdown in recent years and the continued uncertainty, webusiness at this time. We want to further highlight the risks and uncertainties associated with: world economic factors and conditions, the ongoing global economic uncertainty, that is impacting many regionsthe reduced demand for hard disk drive products with the increased use of the world, the financial condition of our suppliers and Customers,flash memory, the potential for some Customers to increase their reliance on their own filtration capabilities, currency fluctuations, commodity prices, political factors, the Company’sour international operations, the possible reduced demand for hard disk drive products with the increased use of flash memory, highly competitive markets, inability to hire and retain key employees, governmental laws and regulations, including the impact of the various economic stimulus and financial reform measures, being implemented by governments around the world, the implementation of our new information technology systems, failure or breach of information technology and trade secret security, potential global events resulting in market instability, and unpredictability in the world’s markets, including financial bailouts and defaults of sovereign nations, political changes, military and terrorist activities including political unrest in the Middle East, other political changes, health outbreaks, natural disasters, and other factors discussed below. The Company undertakesWe undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Operating internationally carries risks which could negatively affect our financial performance.

We have sales and manufacturing operations throughout the world, with the heaviest concentrations in North America,the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Our stability, growth, and profitability are subject to a number of risks of doing business internationally that could harm our business, including:

·

political and military events,

·

legal and regulatory requirements, including import, export, defense regulations, anti-corruption laws, and foreign exchange controls,

·

tariffs and trade barriers,

·

potential difficulties in staffing and managing local operations,

·

credit risk of local Customers and distributors,

·

difficulties in protecting intellectual property,

·

local economic, political, and social conditions, specifically in the Middle East, China, Thailand, and Thailandother emerging markets where we have significant investments and

do business,

·

potential global health outbreaks.

outbreaks, and
·natural disasters.
3

Due to the international scope of our operations, we are subject to a complex system of import- and export-related laws and regulations. Any alleged or actual violations may subject us to government scrutiny, investigation, and civil and criminal penalties, and may limit our ability to import or export our products or to provide services outside the United States (U.S.).  In addition, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar foreign anti-corruption laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments or providing anything of value to improperly influence foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, or obtaining an unfair advantage. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the global enforcement of anti-corruption laws.  Violations of these laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, could disrupt our business, and result in an adverse effect on our reputation, business, and results of operations or financial condition.

Maintaining a competitive advantage requires continuing investment with uncertain returns.

We operate in highly competitive markets and have numerous competitors who may already be well-established in those markets. We expect our competitors to continue improving the design and performance of their products and to introduce new products that could be competitive in both price and performance. We believe that we have certain technological advantages over our competitors, but maintaining these advantages requires us to continually invest in research and development, sales and marketing, and Customer service and support. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in maintaining these advantages. We make investments in new technologies that address increased performance and regulatory requirements around the globe. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in completing development or achieving sales of these products or that the margins on such products will be acceptable. Our financial performance may be negatively impacted if a competitor’s successful product innovation reaches the market before ours or gains broader market acceptance.

A few of our major OEM Customers also manufacture filtration systems. Although these OEM Customers rely on us and other suppliers for some of their filtration systems, they sometimes choose to manufacture additional filtration systems for their own use. There is also a risk that a Customer could acquire one or more of our competitors.


Table of Contents

We may be adversely impacted by changes in technology that could reduce or eliminate the demand for our products. These risks include:

·

breakthroughs in technology which provide a viable alternative to diesel engines and

·

reduced demand for disk drive products by flash memory or a similar technology, which would reduce the use of disk drives and therefore eliminate the need for our filtration solutions in disk drives.

drives
·other breakthroughs in filtration technologies that could displace our products

Difficulties with our information technology systems and security could adversely affect our results.

We have many information technology systems that are important to the operation of its businesses, some of which are managed by third parties. These systems are used to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities. We could encounter difficulties in developing new systems, maintaining and upgrading existing systems, and preventing information security breaches. There may be other challenges and risks as we upgrade and standardize our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system on a worldwide basis. Such difficulties could lead to significant additional expenses and/or disruption in business operations that could adversely affect our results. Additionally, information technology security threats are increasing in frequency and sophistication. These threats pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data. Should such an attack succeed, it could lead to the compromising of confidential information, manipulation and destruction of data, defective products, production downtimes, and operations disruptions. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our reputation, and could result in litigation, regulatory action, potential liability, and increased costs and operational consequences of implementing further data protection matters.

Demand for our products relies on economic and industrial conditions worldwide.

Changes in economic or industrial conditions could impact ourresults of operations or financial condition in any particular period as our business can be sensitive to varying conditions by region across the globe.

While sales to Caterpillar accounted for slightly less than 10 percent of our net sales in Fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, an adverse change in Caterpillar’s financial performance or a material reduction in our sales to Caterpillar could negatively impact our operating results.

We participate in highly competitive markets with pricing pressure. If we are not able to compete effectively our margins and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The businesses and product lines in which we participate are very competitive and we risk losing business based on a wide range of factors including technology, price, geographic coverage, product performance, and Customer service. Large Customers continue to seek productivity gains and lower prices from us and their other suppliers. We may lose business or negatively impact our margins if we are unable to deliver the best value to our Customers.

Demand for our products relies on economic and industrial conditions worldwide.

          Demand for our products tends to respond to varying levels of economic, construction, agricultural, mining, and industrial activity in the United States and in other industrialized nations.

          Sales to Caterpillar accounted for slightly less than 10 percent of our net sales in Fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009. An adverse change in Caterpillar’s financial performance or a material reduction in our sales to Caterpillar could negatively impact our operating results.

Changes in our product mix impacts our financial performance.

We sell products that have varying profit margins. Our financial performance can be impacted depending on the mix of products we sell during a given period.Our outlook assumes a certain geographic mix of sales as well as a product mix of sales.  If actual results vary from this projected geographic and product mix of sales, our results could be negatively impacted.

Unavailable or higher cost materials could impact our financial performance.

We obtain raw materials including steel, filter media, plastics,petroleum-based products, and other components from third-party suppliers and tend to carry limited raw material inventories. An unanticipated delay in delivery by our suppliers could result in the inability to deliver on-time and meet the expectations of our Customers. This could negatively affect our financial performance. An increase in commodity prices could also result in lower operating margins.

Difficulties with the Company’s information technology systems could adversely affect our results.

          The Company has many information technology systems that are important to the operation of its businesses. The Company could encounter difficulties in developing new systems or maintaining and upgrading existing systems. Such difficulties could lead to significant expenses due to disruption in business operations and could adversely affect the Company’s results.

Unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could negatively impact our results and financial position.

We have operations in many countries. Each of our subsidiaries reports its results of operations and financial position in its relevant foreignfunctional currency, which is then translated into U.S. dollars. This translated financial information is included in our consolidated financial statements. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar in comparison to the foreign currencies of our subsidiaries could have a negative impact on our results and financial position.

Acquisitions may have an impact on our results.

We have made and continue to pursue acquisitions. We cannot guarantee that these acquisitions will have a positive impact on our results. These acquisitions could negatively impact our profitability due to operating and integration inefficiencies, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, and amortization expenses related to intangible assets. There are also a number of other risks involved in acquisitions. We could lose key existing Customers, have difficulties in assimilating the acquired operations, assume unanticipated legal liabilities, or lose key employees.

ComplianceCosts associated with environmental and product laws and regulations can be costly.lawsuits or investigations may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We routinely incur costs in order to comply with these laws and regulations. We may be adversely impacted by new or changing laws and regulations that affect both our operations and our ability to develop and sell products that meet our Customers’ requirements. We are involved in various product liability, product warranty, intellectual property, environmental claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in and outside of the ordinary course of our business. It is not possible to predict the outcome of investigations and lawsuits, and we could incur judgments, fines, or penalties or enter into settlements of lawsuits and claims that could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition in any particular period.  


5

Additional tax expense or tax exposure could impact our financial performance.

We are subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Our tax liabilities are dependent upon the location of Contentsearnings among these different jurisdictions.  Our provision for income taxes and cash tax liability could be adversely affected by numerous factors, including income before taxes being lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax laws and regulations.  We are also subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns tax authorities.  The results of audit and examination of previously filed tax returns and continuing assessments of our tax exposures may have an adverse effect on the Company’s provision for income taxes and cash tax liability.

Compliance with environmental and product laws and regulations can be costly.

We are subject to many environmental and product laws and regulations in the jurisdiction we operate. We routinely incur costs in order to comply with these laws and regulations. We may be adversely impacted by new or changing laws and regulations that affect both our operations and our ability to develop and sell products that meet our Customers’ requirements.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company records provisions with respect to identified claims or lawsuits when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Claims and lawsuits are reviewed quarterly and provisions are taken or adjusted to reflect the status of a particular matter. The Company believes the recorded reserves in its consolidated financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable outcomes. Any recorded liabilities were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operationoperations or liquidity, and the Company does not believe that any of the currently identified claims or litigation will materially affect its financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

          The Company has reached a preliminary agreement to settle the class action lawsuits that were previously disclosed in its SEC filings, including most recently the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending April 30, 2011. On March 31, 2008, S&E Quick Lube, a filter distributor, filed a lawsuit alleging that 12 filter manufacturers, including the Company, engaged in a conspiracy to fix prices, rig bids, and allocate U.S. Customers for aftermarket automotive filters. The U.S. cases have been consolidated into a single multi-district litigation in the Northern District of Illinois. The Company denies any liability and has vigorously defended the claims raised in these lawsuits. The settlement will fully resolve all claims brought against the Company in the lawsuits and the Company does not admit any liability or wrongdoing. The settlement is still subject to Court approval and will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

          The Company has reached a preliminary agreement with the Air Resources Board for the State of California (“ARB”) to settle regulatory claims brought by ARB in connection with the sales of our Diesel Multi-Stage Filter System (“DMF”) for an immaterial amount. On May 19, 2010, ARB revoked its verification of the Company’s DMF for use with on-road diesel engines, for which verification was originally issued on December 16, 2005. The Company denies that any sales were made in California without ARB verification. The Company is not currently selling any DMF product and is working with the Environmental Protection Agency to verify the product for any future sales.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationOperations

Results of OperationOperations

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

The Company is a worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and replacement parts. The Company’s core strengths are leading filtration technology, strong Customer relationships, and its global presence. The Company operates through two reporting segments, Engine Products and Industrial Products, and has a product mix including air and liquid filtration systems and exhaust and emission control products. As a worldwide business, the Company’s results of operations are affected by conditions in the global economic environment. Under normalmost economic conditions, the Company’s market diversification between its OEM and replacement parts Customers, its diesel engine and industrial end markets, and its North American and international end markets has helped to limit the impact of weakness in any one product line, market, or geography on the consolidated results of the Company.

The Company reported record sales in Fiscal 20112013 of $2,294.0$2,436.9 million, up 22.2down 2.3 percent from $1,877.1$2,493.2 million in the prior year. The Company’s results were positivelynegatively impacted by foreign currency translation, which increaseddecreased sales by $49.8$32.2 million. Excluding the current year impact of foreign currency translation, worldwide sales increased 19.6decreased 1.0 percent.

Although net sales excluding foreign currency translation is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP,generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S.) (U.S. GAAP), the Company believes it is useful in understanding its financial results and provides a comparable measure for understanding the operating results of the Company between different fiscal periods excluding the impact of foreign currency translation.

The percentage earnings improvementincrease for the current fiscal yeartwelve months ended July 31, 2013, was primarily driven by better absorption of fixed costs due to improved volumes at our manufacturing plants, andbenefits from the Company’s ongoing Continuous Improvement initiatives. Theinitiatives and a higher percentage of sales coming from replacement filters, partially offset by increased incremental expenses related to the Company’s Strategic Business Systems project (which is the Company’smulti-year implementation of a global enterprise resource planning system), higher pension and insurance costs, and lower fixed cost absorption as a result of lower production volumes (primarily in the first half of the year). In addition, the Engine Products segment incurred $1.7 million in restructuring expenses compared to none in the prior year. These expenses related to employee severance costs associated with a reduction in workforce. Off-Road Product sales decreased by 4.8 percent driven by a decline in the mining equipment markets and weakness in the construction equipment markets, which were partially offset by strength in the agriculture equipment markets across the globe. On-Road Products sales decreased by 21.6 percent as a result of reduced truck builds by the Company’s OEM Customers in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Aftermarket Products sales increasesdecreases were driven by continued improvement inlower equipment utilization rates in the mining, construction, and transportation industries globally. The Off-Road Product sales increase is driven by higher demand for agriculture and mining equipment, due to continued strong commodity prices and improved sales of heavy construction equipment, which was due to increased global infrastructure spending, especially in developing economies. On-Road Products sales improved as North America and Europe heavy truck build rates continued rebounding.

Gross margin for Fiscal 20112013 was 35.534.8 percent, an increaseor a 0.2 percent decrease from 35.1 percent in the prior year. The improved gross margin was the result of better fixed cost absorption and the Company’s ongoing Continuous Improvement initiatives of approximately $27 million, which were partially offset by increases in purchased raw material (steel and petrochemical based raw materials) of approximately $19 million, net of selective price increases to Customers. Within gross margin, the Company incurred minimal restructuring and asset impairment charges during the fiscal year, compared to $7.5 million last year. The fiscal 2010 charges were primarily related to a downsizing at a plant in Germany and included severance and asset impairments for the building and inventory.

          Operating expenses for Fiscal 2011 were $498.5 million or 21.7 percent of sales, as compared to $420.5 million or 22.435.0 percent in the prior year.  The decrease in operating expenses as a percentagegross margin is primarily attributable to the mix impact of sales is drivenlarge Gas Turbine project shipments and the impact of lower absorption of fixed costs due to the lower production volumes in the Company’s plants. These decreases were partially offset by the higher volume of sales and benefits from the Company’s ongoing Continuous Improvement initiatives. In addition,initiatives, which include Lean, Kaizen, Six Sigma, and cost reduction efforts. Within gross profit, the current year includedCompany incurred $1.6 million in restructuring charges compared to minimal restructuring charges during Fiscal 2012. The Fiscal 2013 expenses were employee severance costs related to a $1.9 million reduction in restructuring expensesworkforce.

The principal raw materials that the Company uses are steel, filter media, and petroleum-based products.  Purchased raw materials represents approximately 60 to 65 percent of the Company’s cost of goods sold.  Of that amount, steel, including fabricated parts, represents approximately 25 percent. Filter media represents approximately 15 to 20 percent and the remainder is primarily made up of petroleum-based products and other components. The cost the Company paid for steel during Fiscal 2013, varied by grade, but in aggregate, it slightly decreased during the fiscal year.  The Company’s cost of filter media also varies by type and slightly increased at the end of the fiscal year.  The cost of petroleum-based products (plastics, rubber, and adhesives) was generally flat.  Commodity prices in aggregate generally decreased throughout Fiscal 2013 as compared to Fiscal 2010. These benefits2012. The Company anticipates a moderately unfavorable impact from commodity prices in Fiscal 2014, as compared to Fiscal 2013, specifically for steel, petroleum-based products, and media based on recent market information for purchased commodities. The Company strives to recover or offset material cost through selective price increases to its Customers and through the Company’s Continuous Improvement initiatives, which include material substitutions, process improvements, and product redesigns.

Operating expenses for Fiscal 2013 were partially offset by costs for our strategic$503.8 million or 20.7 percent of sales, as compared to $510.7 million or 20.5 percent in the prior year. Restructuring expenses included in operating investments totaling $13.9expenses were $2.4 million for the fiscal year, which were employee severance costs related to a reduction in workforce. The Company’s ongoing cost containment actions and higher compensation related expenses such aslower incentive compensation of $9.2 millionhelped to offset the restructuring expenses, higher pension expenses, and pension expense of $5.1 million over the prior year.incremental expenses related to its Strategic Business Systems project.

Net otherOther income, net totaled $9.5$15.8 million in Fiscal 2011 up2013, down from $3.9$19.3 million in the prior year. The increasedecrease of $5.6$3.5 million over the prior year is primarily attributable to increasedin other income was driven by a $1.7 million decrease in interest income, of $2.0a $1.6 million increased earnings from non-consolidated joint ventures of $2.1 million, and increased royalty income of $1.4 million. Components of other income for Fiscal 2011 were as follows: interest income of $3.3 million, earnings from non-consolidated joint ventures of $4.1 million, royalty income of $8.7 million, partially offset by charitable donations of $1.1 million,decrease in foreign exchange losses of $4.5gains, and a $1.0 million and other miscellaneous income and expense items resultingdecrease in expenses of $1.0 million.royalty income.

The effective tax rate for Fiscal 20112013 was 27.929.0 percent compared to 27.828.7 percent in Fiscal 2010.2012. The average underlyingincrease in effective tax rate remained at 29.7 percent, while discrete items were also a consistent percentageis primarily due to the incremental benefits derived in Fiscal 2012 from the favorable settlement of pre-tax profits. Fiscal 2010 contained $4.3 million of discretetax audits. This was partially offset by an increase in tax benefits from international operations and the expirationretroactive reinstatement of the statute of limitations at foreign subsidiaries. Fiscal 2011 contained $5.8 million of discrete tax benefits primarily fromResearch and Experimentation Credit in the release of reserves afterU.S. in the favorable conclusions of foreign tax audits, the expiration of statutes in various jurisdictions, and the positive impact of dividends from some foreign subsidiaries.current year.

Total backlog at July 31, 2011,2013, was $816.4$715.8 million, up 29.9down 10.4 percent from the same period in the prior year. Backlog is one of many indicators of business conditions in the Company’s markets. However, it is not always indicative of future results for a number of reasons, including short lead times in the Company’s replacement parts businesses and the timing of the receipt of orders in many of the Company’s Engine OEM and Industrial markets. In the Engine Products segment, total open order backlog increased 36.6decreased 6.7 percent from the prior year. In the Industrial Products segment, total open order backlog increased 14.9decreased 18.4 percent from the prior year. Because some of the change in backlog can be attributed to a change in the ordering patterns of the Company’s Customers and/or the impact of foreign exchange translation rates, it may not necessarily correspond to future sales.

Gross margin for Fiscal 20102012 was 35.135.0 percent, an increasea decrease from 31.635.5 percent in the prior year. The improveddecrease in gross margin wasis attributable to the resultcombination of improvedthe higher level of first fit and project sales which generally carry a lower margin, the Company’s planned ramp-up for its newest plant in Mexico, lower fixed cost absorption ain Asia, and increased purchased commodity costs from higher mixprices during the first half of replacement filter sales, savingsthe year and unfavorable foreign exchange rates in the second half of the year. These decreases were partially offset by the benefits from restructuring actions andthe Company’s ongoing Continuous Improvement initiatives. Within gross margin,profit, the Company incurred minimal restructuring and asset impairment charges during Fiscal 2011.

The principal raw materials that the Company uses are steel, filter media, and petroleum-based products. Purchased raw materials represents approximately 60 to 65 percent of Contentsthe Company’s cost of goods sold. Of that amount, steel, including fabricated parts, represents approximately 25 percent. Filter media represents approximately 15 to 20 percent and the remainder is primarily made up of petroleum-based products and other components. The cost the Company paid for steel during Fiscal 2012, varied by grade, but in aggregate, it slightly decreased in the second half of Fiscal 2012. The Company’s cost of filter media also varies by type but it moderated slightly during the fiscal year since reaching a historical high at the end of Fiscal 2011. Petroleum-based products were generally flat. Commodity prices in aggregate generally decreased throughout Fiscal 2012 after strong increases in the last half of Fiscal 2011. The impact was moderated by certain long term supply arrangements. However, the full year impact of commodity prices was still unfavorable to Fiscal 2011. The Company strives to recover or offset material cost through selective price increases to its Customers and through the Company’s Continuous Improvement initiatives, which include material substitution, process improvement, and product redesigns.

$7.5Operating expenses for Fiscal 2012 were $510.7 million or 20.5 percent of sales, as compared to $498.5 million or 21.7 percent in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of sales is driven by the higher volume of sales. In addition, the current year had reduced distribution and warranty costs as a percent of sales. The prior year included $0.7 million in restructuring and asset impairment charges during the fiscal year, compared to $10.1 million last year. This year’s charges were primarily related to a downsizing at a plant in Germany and included severance and asset impairments for the building and inventory.charges.

          Operating expenses for Fiscal 2010 were $420.5 million or 22.4 percent of sales, as compared to $419.8 million or 22.5 percent in the prior year. Operating expenses as a percent of sales was relatively flat and included $15.1 million of higher incentive compensation expense partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in restructuring costs as compared to the prior year. During the fiscal year the Company increased warranty accruals due to specific warranty matters in our Retrofit Emissions Products group, recording an expense of $6.2 million for this matter during the year.

Interest expense of $12.0$11.5 million decreased $5.0$1.0 million from $17.0$12.5 million in the prior year as a result of reduced debt levels and lower interest rates throughout the year. Net other income totaled $3.9$19.3 million in Fiscal 2010 down2012, up from $8.5$9.5 million in the prior year. ComponentsThe increase of $9.8 million in other income for Fiscal 2010 were as follows:was driven by an increase in foreign exchange gains of $6.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million in interest income, an increase of $0.6 million in income from unconsolidated affiliates, an increase of $0.4 million in royalty income, and an insurance recovery of $1.3 million, earnings from non-consolidated joint ventures of $2.0 million, royalty income of $7.2 million, charitable donations of $1.6 million, foreign exchange losses of $4.6 million, and other miscellaneous income and expense items resulting in expenses of $0.4 million.

The effective tax rate for Fiscal 20102012 was 27.828.7 percent compared to 18.327.9 percent in Fiscal 2009.2011. The increase in effective tax rate is primarily due to a decreasean unfavorable shift in the mix of earnings between tax jurisdictions, which increased the underlying average tax rate over the prior year to 30.8 percent from 29.7 percent. The increase in the underlying average tax rate was partially offset by incremental discrete tax benefits. Fiscal 20092012 contained $19.6$7.7 million of discrete tax benefits which predominantly occurred infrom the second quarter, and primarily related to changes to uncertain tax position reserves in connection with the effectivefavorable settlements of court cases and examinationstax audits, the expiration of statutes in various jurisdictions, covering various years.and other discrete items. Fiscal 20102011 contained $4.3$5.8 million of discrete tax benefits, primarily recorded infrom the second quarter, fromrelease of reserves after the favorable conclusions of foreign tax audits, the expiration of statutes in various jurisdictions, and the statutepositive impact of limitations atdividends from some foreign subsidiaries and other discrete items. Without consideration of discrete items, the average underlying tax rate improved over the prior year to 29.7 percent from 30.4 percent mainly due to the mix of earnings between tax jurisdictions.subsidiaries.

Total backlog at July 31, 2010,2012, was $628.3$798.6 million, up 19.0down 0.5 percent from the same period in the prior year. Backlog is one of many indicators of business conditions in the Company’s markets. However, it is not always indicative of future results for a number of reasons, including short lead times in the Company’s replacement parts businesses and the timing of the receipt of orders in many of the Company’s Engine OEM and Industrial markets. In the Engine Products segment, total open order backlog increased 31.5decreased 5.9 percent from the prior year. In the Industrial Products segment, total open order backlog decreased 1.8increased 13.9 percent from the prior year. Because some of the change in backlog can be attributed to a change in the ordering patterns of the Company’s Customers and/or the impact of foreign exchange translation rates, it may not necessarily correspond to future sales.

The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held by its foreign subsidiaries as over half of the Company’s earnings occur outside the U.S. Most of these funds are considered permanently reinvested outside the U.S., and will only be repatriated when it is tax effective to do so, as the cash generated from U.S. operations is anticipated to be sufficient for the U.S cash needs. If additional cash were required for the Company’s operations in the U.S., it may be subject to additional U.S. taxes if funds were repatriated from certain foreign subsidiaries.

Net capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment totaled $59.9$94.3 million in Fiscal 20112013 and $42.7$77.2 million in Fiscal 2010.2012.

Market Risk

The Company’s market risk includes the potential loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company manages foreign currency market risk from time to time through the use of a variety of financial and derivative instruments. The Company does not enter into any of these instruments for trading purposes to generate revenue. Rather, the Company’s objective in managing these risks is to reduce fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses forward exchange contracts and other hedging activities to hedge the U.S. dollar value resulting from existing recognized foreign currency denominated asset and liability balances and also for anticipated foreign currency transactions. The Company also naturally hedges foreign currency through its production in the countries in which it sells its products. The Company’s market risk on interest rates is the potential decrease in fair value of long-term debt resulting from a potential increase in interest rates. See further discussion of these market risks below and in Note EF of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign CurrencyDuring Fiscal 2011,2013, the U.S. dollar was generally weakerstronger than in Fiscal 20102012 compared to many of the currencies of the foreign countries in which the Company operates. The overall weaknessstrength of the dollar had a positivenegative impact on the Company’s international net sales results because the foreign denominated revenues translated into morefewer U.S. dollars.

It is not possible to determine the true impact of foreign currency translation changes. However, the direct effect on reported net sales and net earnings can be estimated. For the year ended July 31, 2011,2013, the impact of foreign currency translation resulted in an overall increasedecrease in reported net sales of $49.8$32.2 million, an increase in operating expenses of $9.7$8.0 million, and a decrease in reported net earnings of $6.1$2.1 million. Foreign currency translation had a positivenegative impact in mostmany regions around the world. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the yen resulted in a total decrease of $17.9 million in reported net sales. In Europe, the weakerstronger U.S. dollar relative to the euro and British pound resulted in a total increasedecrease of $8.1$9.3 million in reported net sales. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the South African rand, the Brazilian real, and the Indian rupee had a negative impact on foreign currency translation with a decrease in reported net sales of $8.1 million, $2.6 million, and $1.6 million, respectively. The weaker U.S. dollar relative to the Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Mexican peso and Chinese renminbi South African rand, and Thai baht also had a positive impact on foreign currency translation, with an increase in reported net sales of $15.6 million, $8.8 million, $5.0 million, $4.8 million, $4.4$4.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and an increase in reported net earnings of $1.1 million, $1.2 million, $0.6 million, $0.9 million, $0.4 million, and $1.0$3.1 million, respectively.

The Company maintains significant assets and operations in Europe, Asia-Pacific, South Africa, and Mexico, resulting in exposure to foreign currency gains and losses. A portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposure is naturally hedged by incurring liabilities, including bank debt, denominated in the local currency in which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are located.

The foreign subsidiaries of the Company generally purchase the majority of their input costs and then sell to many of their Customers in the same local currency.

The Company may be exposed to cost increases relative to local currencies in the markets to which it sells. To mitigate such adverse trends, the Company, from time to time, enters into forward exchange contracts and other hedging activities. Additionally, foreign currency positions are partially offsetting and are netted against one another to reduce exposure.

Some products made in the United StatesU.S. are sold abroad. As a result, sales of such products are affected by the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Any long-term strengthening of the U.S. dollar could depress these

sales. Also, competitive conditions in the Company’s markets may limit its ability to increase product pricing in the face of adverse currency movements.

InterestThe Company’s exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its short-term investments, short-term borrowings, and interest rate swap agreements, as well as the potential increase in fair value of long-term debt resulting from a potential decrease in interest rates. The Company has no earnings or cash flow exposure due to market risks on its long-term debt obligations as a result of the fixed-rate nature of the debt. However, interest rate changes would affect the fair market value of the debt. As of July 31, 2011,2013, the estimated fair value of long-term debt with fixed interest rates was $268.3$112.3 million compared to its carrying value of $247.0$100.0 million. The fair value is estimated by discounting the projected cash flows using the rate thatof which similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed. As of July 31, 2011,2013, the Company’s financial liabilities with exposure to changes in interest rates consisted mainly of $13.1$9.2 million of short-term debt outstanding. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one-half percent in short-term interest rates, with all other variables remaining constant, interest expense would have increased $0.4$0.3 million and interest income would have increased $1.5 million in Fiscal 2011.2013.

Pensions The Company is exposed to market return fluctuations on its qualified defined benefit pension plans. Although the market value of these assets increased inIn Fiscal 2011,2013, we adjustedmaintained our long–term rate of return from 8.0 percent to 7.75at 7.50 percent on our U.S. plans, and from a weighted average of 6.175.20 percent to 6.035.48 percent on our non-U.S. plans, to reflect our future expectation for returns. In addition, we adjusted our discount rate used to value our pension obligation for our U.S. plans from 5.253.59 percent to 4.914.58 percent and from 5.174.13 percent to 5.364.04 percent for the non-U.S plans. Our plans were underfundedoverfunded by $30.5$7.8 million at July 31, 2011,2013, since the projected benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of the plan assets.assets exceeded the projected benefit obligation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the recorded values of certain assets and liabilities. The Company believes its use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adheres to U.S. GAAP and is consistently applied. Valuations based on estimates and underlying accounting assumptions are reviewed for reasonableness on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies that require more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements and that are the most important to aid in fully understanding its financial results are the following:

Revenue recognition, warranty, and allowance for doubtful accountsRevenue is recognized when both product ownership and the risk of loss have transferred to the Customer and the Company has no remaining obligations. The Company records estimated discounts and rebates as a reduction of sales in the same period revenue is recognized. For the Company’s Gas Turbine Systems sales, it must carefully monitor the shipment of each part that comprises the entirety of the GTS project and may only recognize revenue when the last element of the entire GTS project is shipped or according to particular Incoterms terms. Accruals for warranties on products sold are recorded based on historical return percentages and specific product recall campaigns. Allowances for doubtful accounts are estimated by management based on evaluation of potential losses related to Customer receivable balances. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience in the industry, regional economic data, and evaluation of specific Customer accounts for risk of loss. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company feels it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its Customers. The establishment of this reserve requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. Though management considers these balances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which the Company operates could have an effect on reserve balances required.

Goodwill and other intangible assetsGoodwill is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performs impairment assessments for its reporting units and uses a discounted cash flow model based on management’s judgments and assumptions to determine the estimated fair value. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performed an impairment assessment during the third quarter of Fiscal 20112013 to satisfy its annual impairment requirement. The impairment assessment in the third quarter indicated that the estimated fair valuevalues of eachthe reporting unit exceeded itsunits to which goodwill is assigned continued to significantly exceed the corresponding carrying amount,values of the respective reporting units, including recorded goodwill and, as such, no impairment existed at that time. Other intangible assets with definite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Definite lived intangible


Table of Contents

assets are also subject to impairment assessments. A considerable amount of management judgment and assumptions are required in performing the impairment assessments, principally in determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The important assumptions utilized in these assessments include the (i) discount rate; (ii) projected revenue, gross margin, operating income; and (iii) terminal value. While the Company believes its judgments and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions could change the estimated fair values and, therefore, impairment charges could be required.

24

Income taxesAs part of the process of preparing the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and book accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets and liabilities are evaluated by using estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax planning strategies. Management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent management believes that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent that a valuation allowance is established or increased, an expense within the tax provision is included in the statement of operations. Reserves are also estimated for uncertain tax positions that are currently unresolved. The Company routinely monitors the potential impact of such situations and believes that it iswas properly reserved.reserved at July 31, 2013. Valuations related to tax accruals and assets can be impacted by changes to tax codes, changes in statutory tax rates, and the Company’s future taxable income levels. As of July 31, 2011,2013, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, accrued interest, and penalties was $21.5$19.5 million.

Employee Benefit PlansThe Company incurs expenses relating to employee benefits such as non-contributory defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health care benefits. In accounting for these employment costs, management must make a variety of assumptions and estimates including mortality rates, discount rates, overall Company compensation increases, expected return on plan assets, and health care cost trend rates. The Company considers historical data as well as current facts and circumstances and uses a third-party specialist to assist management in determining these estimates.

To develop the assumption regarding the expected long-term rate of return on assets for its U.S. pension plans, the Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 7.757.50 percent long-term rate of return on assets assumption as of July 31, 20112013, for developing the Fiscal 20122014 expense for the Company’s U.S. pension plans. In addition, we lowered ourthe Company increased the discount rate used to value ourthe pension obligation for ourits U.S. plans from 5.253.59 percent to 4.914.58 percent. The Company also selected the long-term rate of return on assets for its non-U.S. plans of 4.13 percent and adjusted the discount rate used to 4.04 percent for developing the Fiscal 2014 expense. The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the plans outside the U.S. reflects the investment allocation and expected total portfolio returns specific to each plan and country.

Reflecting the relatively long-term nature of the plans’ obligations, approximately 4560 percent of the plans assets are invested in equity securities, 3025 percent in alternative investments (funds of hedge funds), 10fixed income, and 15 percent in real assets (investments into funds containing commodities and real estate), 10 percent in fixed income, and 5 percent in private equity. Within equity securities, the Company targets an allocation of 15 percent international, 15 percent equity long / short, 10 percent small cap, and 5 percent large cap..

A one percent change in the expected long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets, from 8.07.50 percent, would have changed the Fiscal 20112013 annual pension expense by approximately $2.7$4.1 million. The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the plans outside the U.S. follows the same methodology as described above, but reflects the investment allocation and expected total portfolio returns specific to each plan and country.

The Company’s objective in selecting a discount rate for its pension plans is to select the best estimate of the rate at which the benefit obligations could be effectively settled on the measurement date, taking into account the nature and duration of the benefit obligations of the plan. In making this best estimate, the Company looks at rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the benefits. This process includes assessing the universe of bonds available on the measurement date with a quality rating of Aa or better. Similar appropriate benchmarks are used to determine the discount rate for the non-U.S. plans. As of the measurement date of July 31, 2011,2013, the Company decreasedincreased its discount rate for the U.S. pension plans to 4.914.58 percent from 5.253.59 percent as of July 31, 2010.2011. The decreaseincrease of 3499 basis points is consistent with published bond indices. The change increaseddecreased the Company’s U.S. projected benefit obligation as of July 31, 20112013, by approximately $7.2$36.5 million and is expected to increasedecrease pension expense in fiscal year 20122014 by approximately $0.5$3.3 million. The rates discussed above are weighted average rates as we havethe Company has multiple plans both in the U.S. and internationally.

25

The Company expects that global pension expenses will decrease approximately $3.7 million in Fiscal 2014 as compared to Fiscal 2013, which is driven primarily by the changes in assumptions. In July 2013, the Company announced that effective August 1, 2013, the plan will be frozen to any Employees hired on or after August 1, 2013. Then effective, August 1, 2016, Employees hired prior to August 1, 2013 would no longer continue to accrue Company contribution credits under the plan. Additionally, in July 2013, the Company announced that Employees hired on or after August 1, 2013 will be eligible for a 3 percent annual Company retirement contribution in addition to the Company’s 401(k) match. Effective August 1, 2016, Employees hired prior to August 1, 2013 will be eligible for the 3 percent annual Company retirement contribution.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Donaldson Company, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Donaldson Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries at July 31, 20112013 and 2010,July 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2011,2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under item 15(II)Item 15(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2011,2013, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Donaldson Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTE A  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of BusinessDonaldson Company, Inc. (“Donaldson”(Donaldson or the “Company”)Company), is a worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and replacement parts. The Company’s product mix includes air and liquid filtration systems and exhaust and emission control products. Products are manufactured at 39 plants around the world and through three3 joint ventures. Products are sold to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”)(OEMs), distributors, dealers, and directly to end-users.

Principles of ConsolidationThe Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Donaldson Company, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s three joint ventures that are not majority-owned are accounted for under the equity method. The Company does not have any variable interests in variable interest entities as of July 31, 2011. The Company uses a fiscal period which ends on a calendar basis for international affiliates and on the Friday nearest to July 31 for U.S. purposes.2013.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAPgenerally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S.) (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency TranslationFor foreign operations, local currencies are considered the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and the resulting gains and losses arising from the translation of net assets located outside the United StatesU.S. are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Elements of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Foreign currency transaction lossestranslation gains of $4.5 million, $4.6$0.2 million and $0.2$1.8 million, and a loss of $4.5 million are included in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in Fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments with aan original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost that approximates market value.

Short-Term Investments Classification of the Company’s investments as current or non-current is dependent upon management’s intended holding period, the investment’s maturity date, and liquidity considerations based on market conditions. If management intends to hold the investments for longer than one year as of the balance sheet date, they are classified as non-current. The Company does not have anySee Note B for disclosures related to the Company’s short-term investments as of July 31, 2011.investments.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsTrade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience in the industry, regional economic data, and evaluation of specific Customer accounts for risk of loss. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company feels it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its Customers.

InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. U.S. inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”)(LIFO) method, while the international subsidiaries usenon-U.S. inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”)(FIFO) method. Inventories valued at LIFO were approximately 33 percent and 3130 percent of total inventories at July 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, respectively. For inventories valued under the LIFO method, the FIFO cost exceeded the LIFO carrying values by $37.1$37.8 million and $32.7$37.4 million at July 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, respectively. Results of operations for all periods presented were not materially affected by the liquidation of LIFO inventory. As of July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had obsolete inventory reserves of $14.5 million and $14.9 million, respectively. The components of inventory are as follows (thousands of dollars):

Property, Plant, and EquipmentProperty, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Additions, improvements, or major renewals are capitalized, while expenditures that do not enhance or extend the asset’s useful life are charged to operating expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed under the straight-line method. Depreciation expense was $58.8 million in Fiscal 2013, $55.3 million in Fiscal 2012, and $54.5 million in Fiscal 2011, $53.2 million in Fiscal 2010, and $52.9 million in Fiscal 2009.2011. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are 10 to 40 years for buildings, including building improvements, and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. The components of property, plant, and equipment are as follows (thousands of dollars):

Internal-Use SoftwareThe Company capitalizes direct costs of materials and services used in the development and purchase of internal-use software. Amounts capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years and are reported as a component of machinery and equipment within property, plant, and equipment.

Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. Other intangible assets, consisting primarily of patents, trademarks, and Customer relationships and lists, are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. The impairment assessment for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, but can be combined when reporting units within the same segment have similar economic characteristics. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company completed its annual impairment assessment in the third quarters of Fiscal 20112013 and 2010,2012, which indicated no impairment.

Recoverability of Long-Lived AssetsThe Company reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying value is reduced. There were no significant impairment charges recorded in Fiscal 2013 or Fiscal 2012.

Income TaxesThe provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretaxpre-tax income included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Earnings Per ShareThe Company’s basic net earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company’s diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common equivalent shares relating to stock options and stock incentive plans. Certain outstanding options were excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculations because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during those periods. There were 494,34922,619 options, 845,8271,063,135 options, and 1,158,451988,698 options excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculation for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

The Company has allocated goodwill to its Industrial Products and Engine Products segments. As of August 1, 2010, as a result of an internal reorganization, the Company transferred Industrial Hydraulics, a component of its Industrial Filtration Solutions Products within the Industrial Products segment to Aftermarket Products within the Engine Products segment, along with the goodwill associated with this component. Disposition of goodwill during Fiscal 2011 relates to the sale of the Company’s Ultracool chiller business, based in Terrassa, Spain, for $3.6 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $0.4 million in the second quarter. The Ultracool chiller business manufactured industrial circulation chillers and was part of the Company’s Industrial Products segment. There was no acquisition or disposition activity during Fiscal 2010.2013 or 2012. The Company completed its annual impairment assessments in the third quarters of Fiscal 20112013 and 2010.2012. The results of this assessment showed that the fair values of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned continue to exceed the book values of the respective reporting units, resulting in no goodwill impairment.

NOTE EF  Financial Instruments

DerivativesThe Company uses forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate debt resulting from interest rate fluctuations. It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative transactions only to the extent true exposures exist; the Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. The Company enters into derivative transactions only with counterparties with high credit ratings. These transactions may expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that the instruments have a positive fair value, but the Company has not experienced any material losses, nor does the Company anticipate any material losses.

39

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts of generally less than one year to hedge forecasted foreign currency transactions between its subsidiaries and to reduce potential exposure related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for existing recognized assets and liabilities. It also utilizes forward exchange contracts for anticipated intercompany and third-party transactions such as purchases, sales, and dividend payments denominated in local currencies. Forward exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges as they are designed to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with the underlying existing recognized or anticipated transactions. Changes in the value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity until earnings are affected by the variability of the underlying cash flows. At that time, the applicable amount of gain or loss from the derivative instrument that is deferred in shareholders’ equity is reclassified to earnings. The Company expects to record $0.2 million of net deferred gainslosses from these forward exchange contracts during the next twelve months. Effectiveness is measured using spot rates to value both the hedge contract and the hedged item. The excluded forward points, as well as any ineffective portions of hedges, are recorded in earnings through the same line as the underlying transaction. During Fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, 2010,$0.4 million, $0.4 million, and 2009, $1.1 million $0.2 million, and $0.4 million of losses, respectively, were recorded due to the exclusion of forward points from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

The impact on Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI)OCI and earnings from foreign exchange contracts that qualified as cash flow hedges for the twelve months ended July 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, was as follows (thousands of dollars):

          Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsAt July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative contracts are reported at their fair values based on third-party quotes. As of July 31, 2011, the estimated fair value of long-term debt with fixed interest rates was $268.3 million compared to its carrying value of $247.0 million. The fair value is estimated by discounting the projected cash flows using the rate that similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed.

Credit RiskThe Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties in interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. Collateral is generally not required of the counterparties or of the Company. In the unlikely event a counterparty fails to meet the contractual terms of an interest rate swap or foreign exchange forward contract, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instrument. The Company had no interest rate swaps outstanding at July 31, 2011. There was one interest rate swap outstanding at July 31, 2010, which

was subsequently terminated August 17, 2010.2013 or 2012. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits, and by selecting major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties. The Company has not had any historical instances of non-performance by any counterparties, nor does it anticipate any future instances of non-performance.

*Inputs to the valuation methodology of level 2 assets include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

The Company holds equity method investments which are classified in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and held at cost. The aggregate carrying amount of these investments was $18.8 million and $20.1 million as of July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These equity method investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s equity method investments has not been estimated as there have been no identified events or changes in circumstance that would have had an adverse impact on the value of these investments. In the event that these investments were required to be measured, these investments would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, due to the valuation methodologyuse of level 2significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value, as the investments are privately-held entities or divisions of public companies without quoted market prices.

Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. As there have been no events or circumstances that have had an adverse impact on the value of these assets, include quoted pricesthe Company has not been required to record an impairment and therefore these assets are not recorded at fair value. In the event that an impairment was recognized, the fair value would be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE GH  Employee Benefit Plans

Pension PlansThe Company and certain of its international subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans for many of their hourly and salaried employees. There are two types of U.S. plans. The first type of U.S. plan is a traditional defined benefit pension plan primarily for production employees. The second is a plan for salaried workers that provides defined benefits pursuant to a cash balance feature whereby a participant accumulates a benefit comprised of a percentage of current salary that varies with years of service, interest credits and transition credits. The international plans generally provide pension benefits based on years of service and compensation level.

On July 31, 2013, the Company adopted a sunset freeze on its U.S. salaried pension plan. Effective August 1, 2013, there will be no new entrants into the plan. Then effective, August 1, 2016, employees hired prior to August 1, 2013 would no longer continue to accrue Company contribution credits under the plan. The accounting for this amendment is reflected in the current year balance sheet and resulted in decreased pension liabilities of $11.7 million with an offset to AOCI as of July 31, 2013 due to a freeze in previously assumed salary increases.

          During Fiscal 2009, negotiations with one of our unions resulted in a freeze in pension benefits at one of our U.S. plants. In exchange for the freezing of the plan, participants were made eligible for a Company match in a defined contribution plan. The freeze in the plan resulted in a curtailment loss of $0.9 million during Fiscal 2009.

Expected Long-Term Rate of ReturnTo develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. As of our measurement date of July 31, 2011,2013, the Company decreasedmaintained its long-term rate of return for the U.S. pension plans to 7.75 percent from 8.0 percent as of July 31, 2010. The Company believes that based on the asset mix and the target asset allocation, the 7.75 percent rate is an appropriate rate. This is slightly below the Company’s twenty year average but above the five and ten year averages. Thus, the Company will use the 7.75 percent rate for the calculation of its Fiscal 2012 net periodic cost.at 7.50 percent. The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the plans outside the U.S. reflects the investment allocation and expected total portfolio returns specific to each plan and country. The expected long-term rate of return on assets shown in the pension benefit disclosure for non-U.S. plans is an asset-based weighted average of all non-U.S. plans.

Discount RateThe Company’s objective in selecting a discount rate is to select the best estimate of the rate at which the benefit obligations could be effectively settled on the measurement date, taking into account the nature and duration of the benefit obligations of the plan. In making this best estimate, the Company looks at rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available, and expected to be available, during the period to maturity of the benefits. This process includes looking at the universe of bonds available on the measurement date with a quality rating of Aa or better. Similar appropriate benchmarks are used to determine the discount rate for the non-U.S. plans. The discount rate disclosed in the assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost and to determine benefit obligations is based upon a weighted average, using year-end projected benefit obligations.


Table of Contents

Plan Assets The Company used the following definitions to classify pension assets into either Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices available in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

          The 2010 information in the above table contains adjustments to the classifications within the fair value hierarchy from that reported in the prior year.

Global equityEquity consists primarily of publicly traded U.S. and non-U.S. equities, Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) index funds, equity private placement funds, private equity investments, and some cash and cash equivalents.  Publicly traded equities are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.  Index funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) as determined by the custodian of the fund.  The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities then divided by the number of units outstanding. Private equity consists of interests in partnerships that invest in U.S. and non-U.S. equity and debt securities.  This may include a diversified mix of partnership interests including buyouts, restructured/distressed debt, growth equity, mezzanine/subordinated debt, real estate, special situation partnerships, and venture capital investments.  Partnership interest are valued using the most recent general partner statement of fair value, updated for any subsequent partnership interests’ cash flow.

The target allocation for Global Equity investments is 60 percent. The underlying global equity investment managers within the Plan will invest primarily in equity securities spanning across market capitalization, geography, style (value, growth), and other diversifying characteristics.  Managers may invest in common stocks or American Depository Receipts (ADRs), mutual funds, bank or trust company pooled funds, international stocks, stock options for hedging purposes, stock index futures, financial futures for purposes of replicating a major market index, and private equity partnerships.  The Long/Short Equity managers within Global Equity may take long or short positions in equity securities and have the ability to shift exposure from net long to net short. Long/Short Equity managers made up about 15 percent of the global equity portfolio at year-end, and are considered less liquid, as the funds can be partially liquidated on a quarterly basis. Long-only managers are considered liquid. The long-only investment managers are typically valued daily, while long/short equity is valued on a monthly basis. Private equity is considered illiquid and performance is typically valued on a quarterly basis. The underlying assets, however, may be valued less frequently, such as annually, or if and when a potential buyer is identified and has submitted a bid to similar types of investments.

Investment Policies and Strategies.For the Company’s U.S. plans, the Company uses a total return investment approach to achieve a long-term return on plan assets, with what the Company believes to be a prudent level of risk for the purpose of meeting its retirement income commitments to employees. The plan’splans’ investments are diversified to assist in managing risk. The Company’s asset allocation guidelines target an allocation of 4560 percent global equity securities, 3025 percent alternative investments (funds of hedge funds), 10fixed income and 15 percent real assets (investments into funds containing commodities and real estate), 10 percent fixed income, and 5 percent private equity. Within equity securities, the Company will target an allocation of 15 percent international, 15 percent equity long/short, 10 percent small cap and 5 percent large cap.. These target allocation guidelines are determined in consultation with the Company’s investment consultant, and through the use of modeling the risk/return trade-offs among asset classes utilizing assumptions about expected annual return, expected volatility/standard deviation of returns, and expected correlations with other asset classes.

The rights are redeemable under certain circumstances at $.001 per right and will expire, unless earlier redeemed, on March 2, 2016.

The Company recorded a net reversal of performance award expense in Fiscal 2009 of $3.1 million due to the reversal of $3.6 million of Long-Term Compensation Plan expense recognized in prior periods based upon actual and forecasted results.2011.

Stock options issued inafter Fiscal 20112010 become exercisable for executives in equal increments over three years. Stock options issued from Fiscal 20012003 to Fiscal 2010 became exercisable for most executives immediately upon the date of grant. Certain other stock options issued to executives during Fiscal 2004, 2006, and 2007 became exercisable in equal increments over three years. For Fiscal 2011,2013, the Company recorded pretaxpre-tax compensation expense associated with stock options of $6.5$8.3 million and recorded $2.4$2.7 million of related tax benefit.

Table of ContentsBlack-Scholes is a widely accepted stock option pricing model. The weighted average fair value for options granted during Fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011 is $8.18, $9.37, and $8.63 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Reload grants are grants made to officers or directors who exercised a reloadable option during the fiscal year and made payment of the purchase price using shares of previously owned Company stock. The reload grant is for the number of shares equal to the shares used in payment of the purchase price and/or withheld for minimum tax withholding. Beginning in Fiscal 2011, options no longer have a reload provision for officersOfficers and directors.Directors.

          Black-Scholes is a widely accepted stock option pricing model; however, the ultimate value of stock options granted will be determined by the actual lives of options granted and the actual future price levels of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average fair value for options granted during Fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009 is $17.26, $13.23, and $8.56 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Deferred income tax assets on the face of the balance sheet include $4.0 million and $4.3 million of prepaid tax assets related to intercompany transfers of inventory as of July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively.

The effective tax rate for Fiscal 20112013 was 27.929.0 percent compared to 27.828.7 percent in Fiscal 2010.2012. The average underlyingincrease in the effective tax rate remained at 29.7 percent, while discrete items were also a consistent percentageis primarily due to the incremental benefits derived in Fiscal 2012 from the favorable settlement of pre-tax profits. Fiscal 2010 contained $4.3 million of discretetax audits. This was partially offset by an increase in tax benefits from international operations and the expirationretroactive reinstatement of the statute of limitations at foreign subsidiariesResearch and other discrete items. Fiscal 2011 contained $5.8 million of discrete tax benefits primarily fromExperimentation Credit in the release of reserves afterU.S. in the favorable conclusions of foreign tax audits, the expiration of statutes in various jurisdictions, and the favorable impact of dividends from some foreign subsidiaries.current year.

The Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes on additional undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries of approximately $623.0$757.0 million. The Company currently intends to permanentlyindefinitely reinvest these undistributed earnings overseas as there are significant investment opportunities there and the Company does not intend to incur a tax costor to repatriate these funds.the earnings only when it is tax effective to do so. If any portion were to be distributed, the related U.S. tax liability may be reduced by foreign income taxes paid on those earnings plus any available foreign tax credit carryovers. Determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these undistributed earnings is not practicable.

The Company has cumulative pre-tax loss carryforwards of $4.8$3.1 million, which exist in various international subsidiaries. If fully realized, the unexpired net operating losses may be carried forward to offset future local income tax payments of $1.2$0.9 million, at current rates of tax. Approximately 12 percent of these net operating losses expire within the next three years, while theThe majority of the remaining net operating loss carryforwards expire more than 5 years out or have no statutory expiration under current local laws. However, as it is more-likely-than-not that certain of these losses will not be realized, a valuation allowance of $0.7$0.8 million exists as of July 31, 2011.2013.

The Company maintains a reserve for uncertain tax benefits. The accounting standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authorities based solely on the technical merits of the position. If the recognition threshold is met, the tax benefit is measured and recognized as the largest amount of tax benefit that in the Company’s judgment is greater than

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011,2013, the Company recognized interest expense, net of tax benefit, of approximately $0.3 million. At July 31, 20112013 and July 31, 2010,2012, accrued interest and penalties on a gross basis were $1.5$1.1 million and $2.5$1.3 million, respectively.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are affected by the tax years that are under audit or remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The following tax years, in addition to the current year, remain subject to examination, at least for certain issues, by the major tax jurisdictions indicated:

If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits would benefit the effective tax rate. With an average statute of limitations of about 5 years, up to $3.0$0.8 million of the unrecognized tax benefits could potentially expire in the next 12 month period, unless extended by audit. It is possible that quicker than expected settlement of either current or future audits and disputes would cause additional reversals of previously recorded reserves in the next 12 month period. Currently, the Company has approximately $0.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits that are in formal dispute with various taxing authorities related to transfer pricing and deductibility of expenses. Quantification of an estimated range and timing of future audit settlements cannot be made at this time.

NOTE KL  Segment Reporting

Consistent with FASB guidance related to segment reporting, the Company identified two reportable segments: Engine Products and Industrial Products. Segment selection was based on the internal organizational structure, management of operations, and performance evaluation by management and the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Engine Products segment sells to OEMs in the construction, mining, agriculture, aerospace, defense, and truck markets and to independent distributors, OEM dealer networks, private label accounts, and large equipment fleets. Products include air filtration systems, exhaust and emissions systems, liquid filtration systems including hydraulics, fuel and lube, and replacement filters.

The Industrial Products segment sells to various industrial dealers, distributors, and end-users, OEMs of gas-fired turbines, and OEMs and end-users requiring clean air. Products include dust, fume, and mist collectors, compressed air purification systems, air filtration systems for gas turbines, PTFE membrane basedmembrane-based products, and specialized air and gas filtration systems for applications including computer hard disk drives.drives and semi-conductor manufacturing.

Corporate and Unallocated includes corporate expenses determined to be non-allocable to the segments, interest income, and interest expense. Assets included in Corporate and Unallocated principally are cash and cash equivalents,


Table of Contents

inventory reserves, certain prepaids, certain investments, other assets, and assets allocated to general corporate purposes.

The Company has an internal measurement system to evaluate performance and allocate resources based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The Company’s manufacturing facilities serve both reporting segments. Therefore, the Company uses an allocation methodology to assign costs and assets to the segments. A certain amount of costs and assets relate to general corporate purposes and are not assigned to either segment. Certain accounting policies applied to the reportable segments differ from those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The reportable segments account for receivables on a grossnet basis and account for inventory on a standard cost basis.

53

 

Segment allocated assets are primarily accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant, and equipment, and goodwill. Reconciling items included in Corporate and Unallocated are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and the consolidated, external reporting as well as internal allocation methodologies.

The Company is an integrated enterprise, characterized by substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations, and sharing of assets.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”)Evaluation Date), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) identified in connection with such evaluation during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011,2013, has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company is in the process of a multi-year implementation of a Strategic Business System project (which is the Company’s global enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system). In fiscal 2014, the Company expects this system will be deployed in certain operations, primarily in the Americas. In response to business integration activities related to the new system, the Company will align and streamline the design and operation of the financial reporting controls environment to be responsive to the changing operating environment.
